BACKGROUND SUMMARY '
Planning Application No. PA11-0271 was submitted by Stephanie Hatfield on October 26, 2011.

expand from a small licensed childcare with a maximum capacity of eight to a large licensed
childcare to operate Monday through Friday between the hours of S:OO a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The
proposed expanded daycare will consist of a maximum capacity of fourteen children ranging in
age from 12 months to 10 years old. The small licensed daycare currently has two employees
aside from the business owner, Stephanie Hatfield: No external modifications to the existing
structures have been proposed.
The applicant made a good faith effort to inform the adjacent property owners%occupants of her
aPplication to expand her small licensed daycare. This was done by her efforts to speak with
each property owner/occupant in person. The applicant provided a letter summarizing her
application with the City of Temecula to those who were not present at the time. Since the
period ofi initial contact with the adjacent property owners/occupants, the City has received
comments and concerns about the proposed daycare expansion from nearby residents:
Staff has been in contact with the concerned adjacent property owners/occupants to further
understand and document any concerns and issues expressed. issues of concem include the
increased amount of traffic that would be created as a result of a greater number of children
utilizing the daycace and the increased noise level also as a result of the greater numbe� of
children allowed afithe daycare: "
Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that all concems have.beerr addcessed, and the
applicant concurs with the recommended Conditions of Approval.
ANALYSIS
Site Plan
The large family daycare will be located within an existing single-family home within the Paseo
Del Sol community. The proposed project would allow for the expansion of a small licensed
daycare with .a maximum capacity of eight children to a large licensed daycare with a maximum
capacity of fourteen children ranging between the ages of twelve months to ten years. The
large child daycare will operate Monday through Friday between the hours of 5:30 a.m. and 5:00
p.m. and will be accompanied by two employees not including the applieant who will also be on
site. During the hours of operation, the children will be provided with healthy meals per the
guidelines of the Southern California Child Nutrition Program.
Furthermore, the current daycare has access to a play area in the rear yard of the property
accompanied by an assortment of play area equipment. Time allotted for the children to be in
the rear yard will vary from day to day but will not be allowed to enter the rear yard area before
8:00 a.m. and not after 5:00 p.m.
Per the Development Code of the City of Temecula Section 17.06.050.1, there shall not be less
� than 500 feet between the exterior property line of the proposed large family daycare and the
exterior property line of the nearest large family daycare facility. The proposed large family
daycare is located over 1,400 feet from the nearest large family daycare facility and thus meets
the above requirement. Adequate parking per the City of Temecula Municipal Code for the
proposed large daycare has been satisfied. Per the City Municipal Code, the applicant must

2
provide two covered residential spaces, one employee parking space, and two loading spaces
in the driveway of the residential unit. The applicant currently has three covered residential
spaces, one employee parking space, and finro driveway loading spaces. Though the parking
requirements state that there shall be a parking space for each employee, being that there will
be one employee at a time during the daycare's hours of operation, one employee parking
space will be sufficient.
LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
Notice of the public hearing was published in the Californian on December 29, 2011 and mailed
to the property owners within the required 600-foot radius.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION �
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project has been
deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review. (Section 15301, Class 1

No modifications to the structure are proposed.
FINDINGS
1. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and the Development Code.

small licensed daycare. No alterations to the exterior of the residential unit are
proposed.
2. The proposed use is compatible with the nature, condition and development of the
adjacent uses buildings, and structures and the proposed conditional use will not
adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings or structures.
The project has been reviewed and conditioned by the Planning, Public Works, Building
and Safety, Fire, and Police Departments to ensure it is compatible with the nafure,
condition and development of the adjacent uses, buildings and structures and that the
� use will not adversely affect adjacent uses, buildings or structures. Furthermore,
adequate on-site loading/unloading and employee parking exists consistent with the .
requirements of the development code and potential noise issues that could have
resulted from the project have been successfully mitigated through Conditions of
Approval that will require the daycare to designate periods of time for which the children
may participate in outdoor activities.
3. The site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards,
walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping, and other

The use will be located within a Low-Medium Residential area and no external
modifications are proposed. Staff has verified that the site for the proposed use is
adequate in size and shape to accommodate the increased number of children that the
daycare will incur as a result of the proposed expansion and that the play area is
adequately fenced. Per the City Municipal Code, the daycare is required to designate
two covered residential spaces, one employee parking space and two loading spaces.
The daycare does exceed the above requirement by providing three covered residential
spaces, one employee parking space and two driveway loading spaces.

welfare of the community.

David,
As you requested, I conducted a search for the above facility number and noted that our public record indicates
that this facility number has only had a pre-licensing inspection conducted on 01/21/2011. This file shows that
the provider was licensed at a previous address under facility number 334820792. I looked up that number as
well and noted that only a pre-licensing inspection has been conducted on that facility on 11/22/2008. There
have been no complaints filed on either number and no unannounced inspections have been conducted at
either facility.

Dear Mr. Ortega,
In reference to Case No. PA11-0271, we would like to voice our opposition to this proposed application. The small day care
number is not so bad, but we definitely are opposed to a large one with twice as many noisy kids. We feel such a number
encroaches on our enjoymerit of our neighborhood. We did not choose to be near a playground when we chose our home
site. Those who work at home definitely find such a possibility disturbing. We would hope that this project will be denied.
RespectFully,

Subject: Case No. PA11-0271
Dear Mr. Ortega,
We received the Notice of Intent yesterday, and quite frankly my wife and I are very distressed and
furious over the thought that a childcare center with up to 14 children be allowed to operate in a
residential neighborhood. I live at 32732 Campo right next door to to Mama Steph's Childcare which is
located at 32742 and is also a rental house. Aren't you required to get the property's owner to consent to
this kind of business, I seriosly doubt that they know. Which is prpbably why she had to move from the
other address of 32815 Caserta Dr, Temecula---the property owner wouldn't allow it.
We vehementley object to the current status now--traffic is very busy and people are parking in front of
my house and taking my parking away. And we most assuredly object to increasing the amount of
children to 14! This is a 3-4 bedroom house, not a tennant in a srip mall.
This is where I live, walk the sidewalks and relax. The noise and traffic will go up 200 percent. Why
would you even consider this is just beyond me--please. ' �
In addition there are other considerations, for instance my property value will decline, further than what
it has in the last five years! This is not why I am a property owner. I expect my property to appreciate, to
enjoy my residence and relax there. My wife works from home, by allowing a 14 child day care center
this will be distractful and very hard to stay focused.
In closing, we do not want a 14 person childcare center on our block or as in this case next door.
Sincerely ,
Mark Dillow

STATEMENT OF JUSTIFICATION
Statement of Justification .
The site is suitable for the proposed use.
There should not be substantial adverse affect on traffic circulation or planned capacity of the street.
Parents drop-off/pick-up at scattered times and there is plenty of parking on the street just in front of
and across the street off the property.
There should not be substantial adverse impact on the neighbors as the business will be confided within
the property and all noise ordinances will be adhered to.` Children will not go outside to play before
8am.
The design of the business is compatible with the property.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
i
Statement of Operations
Mama Steph's Childcare, Inc. provides childcare services for children ages 12 months — 6 years with the
possibility of taking children who are as old as 10 years.
No equipment is necessary.
We are open 5 am-5:30 pm Monday — Friday
We currently have 2 employees and there is a possibility of hiring one more if needed.
The estimated maximum number of people (adults and children) to be present throughout the day
would be 3 adults and up to 16 children (my children over 10 do not count in my ratio and I currently
have 2 of them). Licensing allows up to 14 children.
Children are provided with healthy meals per the guidelines of the Southern California Child Nutrition
Program.
The property is a single family home and will be used as is. It is also handicap accessible.
