A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH RECOMMENDING THE
ADOPTION OF CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2006 -007 (PA
2006 -211)
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS,
RESOLVES AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, on September 26, 2006, the City Council initiated amendments to
Title 20 of the City of Newport Beach Municipal Code to revise land use regulations for
day care centers; and
WHEREAS, public hearings were held on October 19, 2006 and November 16,
2006 in the City Hall Council Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach,
California. A notice of time, place and purpose of the meeting was given in accordance
with the Municipal Code. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and
considered by, the Planning Commission at this meeting; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds as follows:
1. Current land use regulations for day care centers do not distinguish between
facilities for children and those for adults.
2. The California Child Day Care Facilities Act allows cities to adopt reasonable
standards, restrictions, and requirements for family day care homes concerning
spacing and concentration, traffic control, parking, and noise control.
3. The adoption of such regulations is necessary in order to protect the character
of the City's residential neighborhoods.
4. The proposed action is not defined as a project under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it involves general policy and
procedure making activities not associated with a project or a physical change
in the environment (Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines).
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that based on the aforementioned
findings, the Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council of the City
of Newport Beach adopt Code Amendment No. 2006 -007 to Title 20 of the Newport
Beach Municipal Code as provided in Exhibit A.
