During the month of December, Mercy House’s Street Outreach team engaged with a resident who had recently emerged from the shadows of an abusive relationship, finding herself in a maze of confusion and uncertainty.

With compassion and understanding, Mercy House’s team
helped her navigate the complex system to assist her in applying for medical and public assistance. Together, they uncovered various resources that served as a lifeline during her darkest days.

Currently, they are actively working to secure resources for her, including a laptop. She recently took a significant step forward by enrolling in a master's program with aspirations of becoming a teacher. Her determination is a testament to the resilience that can emerge from the toughest circumstances.

FROM: Eric Hendrickson

ISSUE: Treasurer's Investment Report for December 2023
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council receive and file the Treasurer's Investment Report for the month of December 2023.

SUMMARY:

The Treasurer’s Investment Report for the month of December 2023 is submitted herewith. The City’s total portfolio as of December 31, 2023, was $30,193,518. The pooled cash portfolio managed by the City Treasurer consisted of cash on hand, demand deposits, State Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and Investment Trust of California (CalTRUST) investments and totaled $28,670,406. Restricted cash and investments totaled $1,523,111, and is mainly comprised of reserve funds for the 2010 bond issuance.

Interest income for the month of December was $111,276. FY2023/2024 year-to-date pooled cash interest earnings of $619,123 are 132% of the annual budget of $467,910.

The average yield on the City’s total portfolio for the month of December was 5.28%, compared to the prior month of 5.13%. The improvement in portfolio yield in December compared to November was the result of the stable interest rate environment, as dictated by the Federal Reserve, along with City staff maximizing available cash into the higher yielding CalTRUST option. On November 30, the City opened a sweep account linked to the BMO checking accounts. This allows idle cash in the checking accounts to be invested in money market funds, which are subsequently placed in short-term Treasuries. The usage of this sweep investment has also caused the overall yield to rise

Community Development Block Grant Application for the City of Laguna Hills Public Facilities & Improvements Application for Fiscal Year 2024- 2025
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt a Resolution entitled: "A

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAGUNA HILLS, CALIFORNIA,

AUTHORIZING THE SUBMITTAL OF THE CITY OF LAGUNA HILLS PUBLIC FACILITIES AND IMPROVEMENTS APPLICATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 AND ACCEPTING THE

AWARD OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS, IF AWARDED FUNDING."
SUMMARY:

As part of City staff’s ongoing effort to identify and apply for grant funding for infrastructure improvements, on December 21, 2023, City staff submitted an application for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding to the County of Orange during its latest call for Public Facilities and Improvements Funding Applications. City staff submitted a project for curb ramp replacements on Paseo de Valencia and Alicia Parkway and, in partnership with the Florence Sylvester Memorial Senior Center, for improvements to the Center. The CDBG funds were made available by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Urban Counties Program. City staff recommends ratifying the submittal of grant application by adopting a resolution authorizing the submittal of the grant application and accepting grant funding, if awarded by the County.

Community Development Block Grant Application

BACKGROUND:

In November 2023, the County of Orange, Community Resources Department, announced a call for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Public Facilities and Improvements project applications under the County’s Urban County Program funded by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The funding available under the Urban County Program primarily comes from CDBG funds.

The Orange County Urban County Program is comprised of twelve (12) cities with populations under 50,000 (participating cities), two (2) cities, Placentia and Yorba Linda, with populations over 50,000 (metropolitan cities) and unincorporated areas of Orange County. The twelve (12) participating cities include Brea, Cypress, Dana Point, Laguna Beach, Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods, La Palma, Los Alamitos, San Juan Capistrano, Seal Beach, Stanton, and Villa Park. These cities are not eligible to receive Community Planning and Development (“CPD”) program funds directly from HUD and have opted to participate in the CPD programs through the Urban County Program. The cities of Placentia and Yorba Linda, with populations of over 50,000, are eligible to participate in the CPD program as an entitlement jurisdiction and have elected to join with the Urban County Program as a metropolitan city.

The Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Public Facilities and Improvements maximum funding amount with no match was $150,000 and with a 20% match was $350,000. $2,400,000 was made available for this call for projects. Only one application may be submitted by each participating city. Non-profit organizations may also participate in the Urban County Program, but must be sponsored by a city and the city must submit the application.

Project applications must address “high priority” Public Facilities and Improvements. For this project call, high priority projects are, in order of preference, as follows:

1. Senior Centers

2. Homeless Facilities

3. Neighborhood Facilities

4. Water/Sewer Improvements

5. Street Improvements

6. Sidewalk Improvements

7. “Urgent Need”

4.5 Packet Pg. 44
Community Development Block Grant Application
January 23, 2024

Page 3 ends

Furthermore, the population to be served by the project must principally be low to moderate-income as defined by HUD. Low to moderate-income populations include census tracts that are classified by the United States Census Bureau as having a median household income (in 2022 dollars) below the median for the area, and HUD also assumes that senior citizens are a low to moderate-income population. While the City of Laguna Hills has no low to moderate-income census tracts, all of the census tracts within the City of Laguna Woods are designated as low to moderate-income census tracts.

Given these preferences and constraints, City staff opted to partner with the Florence Sylvester Memorial Senior Center, as a non-profit organization, for their proposed improvements and to focus on sidewalk improvements within one-half mile of the City of Laguna Woods census tracts.

Therefore, City staff strategically submitted a grant application consisting of two components or parts:

Part 1: Improvements at the Florence Sylvester Memorial Senior Center consisting of exterior and interior heat-reducing protective coatings (paint) for HVAC energy efficiency. The requested grant amount was $75,000 with a $0 match from the Senior Center for a total project component cost of $75,000.

Part 2: Removal and replacement of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) noncompliant curb ramps at 15 intersections on Paseo de Valencia (between Interstate 5 and Alicia Parkway) and at 4 intersections on Alicia Parkway (from Paseo de Valencia to Moulton Parkway). The intersections on Paseo de Valencia were already previously identified by City staff as needing replacement as part of the upcoming Paseo de Valencia Pavement Rehabilitation Project, CIP No. 104. The requested grant amount was $275,000 with a $87,500 match from CIP No. 104 for a total project component cost of $362,500.

Therefore, the total grant request was for $350,000 with the City contributing a 20% match of $87,500 for a total project cost of $437,500.

If the City is awarded grant funding, the County plans to contract with each qualified participating city for CDBG funds through a contract for a 12-month period beginning July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025.

CEQA FINDINGS:

This action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15301, Class 1, “Existing Facilities” of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because the contemplated activities (curb ramp replacement and painting of the exterior and interior of a building) consist of negligible or no expansion of existing or former use.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed City of Laguna Hills Public Facilities and Improvements Fiscal Year 2024- 2025 project is anticipated to cost a total of $437,500.

The improvements at the Florence Sylvester Memorial Senior Center are estimated to cost $75,000. The requested grant amount was $75,000 with a $0 match from the Senior Center for a total project component cost of $75,000.

The removal and replacement of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) non-compliant curb ramps at 15 intersections on Paseo de Valencia (between Interstate 5 and Alicia Parkway) and at 4 intersections on Alicia Parkway (from Paseo de Valencia to Moulton Parkway) are estimated to cost $362,500. The requested grant amount was $275,000 with a $87,500 match from CIP No. 104 for a total project component cost of $362,500.

Therefore, the total grant request was for $350,000 with the City contributing a 20% match of $87,500 from CIP No. 104 for a total project cost of $437,500.

There are sufficient funds budgeted in CIP No. 104 to provide matching funds; therefore, no new fiscal impact will be realized to the City's budget as a result of this project application. On the contrary, if the proposed City of Laguna Hills Public Facilities and Improvements Fiscal Year 2024-2025 project is awarded funding, the estimated contingency funds for CIP No. 104, Paseo de Valencia Pavement Rehabilitation Project, will improve.

1. Project Title: City of Laguna Hills Public Facilities & Improvements Application FY 2024-2025
Project Address: 23721 Moulton Parkway (for the Florence Sylvester Senior Center) and at various locations on Paseo de Valencia and on Alicia Parkway (for curb ramp installations) City/State/Zip: Laguna Hills, CA 92653
FY 2024-25 Public Facilities & Improvements
Amount Requested
The Orange County Urban County Program is comprised of 12 cities with populations under 50,000 (participating cities). The 12 participating cities include Brea, Cypress, Dana Point, Laguna Beach, Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods, La Palma, Los Alamitos, San Juan Capistrano, Seal Beach, Stanton, and Villa Park. Along with 2 participating metro cities with populations over 50,000 – Placentia, and Yorba Linda, which are funded using their own HUD allocation and are exempt from the RFA process.

2. Urban County Program
a. Is your agency a participating city in the County of Orange Urban County Program that will be submitting an application as part of this RFA? ☒ YES ☐ NO
b. If not, since only one (1) Application per jurisdiction, per year for Public Facilities and Improvements will be accepted, please attach written documentation (from an authorized person) from either the participating city or the County of Orange OCCR/HCD advising the County to accept your proposal as part of this RFA.

3. Provide a detailed summary description of your project.

This project includes two components: Improvements to the Florence Sylvester Senior Center and Sidewalk Improvements on Paseo de Valencia and on Alicia Parkway. The City of Laguna Hills will act at the recipient of the grant funding and will enter into a contract with Florence Sylvester Senior Center to “pass through” their portion of the CDBG funds.

Part 1: Improvements to the Florence Sylvester Senior Center Age Well Senior Services, Inc. (Age Well), is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) Public Benefit Corporation with $350,000

a mission to provide resources for older adults age 60 and older to promote their vitality and support their independence. Age Well owns and operates the Florence Sylvester Senior Center (FSSC) located at 23721 Moulton Parkway in Laguna Hills. This senior center is one of the busiest in South Orange County; on peak days we see more than 250 seniors. The center hosts a Congregate Meals program that served 7,896 meals to 164 seniors in FY2022-23. The center is also a distribution site for Meals on Wheels; in FY2022-23 volunteers delivered more than 96,000 meals to 353 seniors from the site. The site hosts our Care Management program, and numerous activities, such as musical entertainment, dance, exercise, art classes, and much more.

The Florence Sylvester Center’s central dining room can become warm on sunny days. High temperatures in the building are uncomfortable and potentially unsafe for some seniors. This proposal allows us to follow through on practical strategies for reducing heat and improving energy efficiency in the center and complements recent upgrades to our HVAC system, as well as a grant to install heat-reducing window coverings from California Department on Aging (passed through Orange County Office on Aging). This grant would support the cost of a qualified contractor and materials necessary to apply heat-reducing paint to the exterior of the building and to the interior of the dining room. A variety of heat-reducing paint products that reflect solar energy and reduce heat retention are available. The probable cost of work is $75,000.

Part 2: Sidewalk Improvements. The City of Laguna Hills has identified curb ramp intersection corner replacements at 15 intersections on Paseo de Valencia between Avenida de la Carlota and Alicia Parkway, and at 4 intersections on Alicia Parkway from Paseo de Valencia to Via Moulton Parkway. These existing curb ramps do not meet current design standards because they lack truncated domes, do not have zero-inch curb lips at the point of entry, or do not have Federally-mandated yellow truncated domes. The improvements on Paseo de Valencia directly

CDA/OoA and scheduled for installation in CY 2024), and heat-reducing paint on exterior and interior surfaces (this proposal).

These existing curb ramps do not meet current design standards because they lack truncated domes and/or do not have zero-inch curb lips at the point of entry. The improvements on Paseo de Valencia directly serve the elderly, frail, visually and mobility impaired populations of Laguna Woods Village, which is adjacent. The improvements on Alicia Parkway serve low to moderateincome populations within the Via Lomas housing tract.

Population:

Part 1: Florence Sylvester Senior Center Improvements. The proposed improvements at the Senior Center will serve older adults, primarily age 62 and over, an eligible presumed-benefit population.

Part 2: Sidewalk Improvements. The replacement of intersection corner curb ramp replacements at 19 intersections on Paseo de Valencia and Alicia Parkway is important to all pedestrians, but it is particularly important to those with disabilities who have limited travel choices and rely most on the pedestrian environment. Examples are older adults, persons with vision impairments, and people using wheelchairs and other assistive devices who frequently rely on the sidewalks to travel independently within their community for shopping, recreation, exercise, and personal and medical services. This project focuses on benefitting the low to moderate-income population within adjoining Laguna Woods Village and the Via Lomas housing tracts.

Accomplishment Level:

Part 1: Florence Sylvester Senior Center Improvements. All appropriate external surfaces will be painted with heat-reducing paint. Interior walls of the center’s dining room will be

painted with heat-reducing paint. This will improve comfort for senior participants, thereby encouraging use of the center and ensuring access by seniors to nutrition and enrichment activities. Improvements to energy efficiency may be reflected in utility costs.

Part 2: Sidewalk Improvements. This work will ultimately enhance safety and create a more convenient path of travel for all pedestrians using the sidewalk system along Paseo de Valencia and Alicia Parkway. These public improvements will help meet the needs of Laguna Woods Village older adult population, as well as pedestrians generally, and meet the parameters for ADA compliance.

Services Provided:

Part 1: Florence Sylvester Senior Center Improvements. Heat reduction and energy efficiency for a senior center that provides nutrition, case management, and enrichment activities for hundreds of seniors daily.

Part 2: Sidewalk Improvements. This project will enhance safety and provide more accessible pedestrian paths of travel.

Explain how project meets the HUD Eligibility Requirements and a National Objective (LMC, LMA or LMH).

Part 1: Florence Sylvester Senior Center Improvements. The proposed improvements at the Senior Center will serve older adults, primarily age 62 and over, an eligible presumedbenefit population of low to moderate income clientele (LMC).

Part 2: Sidewalk Improvements. This project will meet all the eligibility requirements as identified by HUD, as well as the specified criteria for a National Objective under the subcategory of “area benefit (LMA).” Specifically, the project consists of sidewalk improvements on both Paseo de Valencia and Alicia Parkway within low to moderate income-qualified census tracts (where at least 51% of the beneficiaries of the activity are low to moderate-income persons), and the project serves a clientele who are presumed by HUD to be principally low to moderate-income qualified persons (elderly persons)

because, for the section of the project along Paseo de Valencia, the nature of the project is to provide pedestrian improvements to elderly persons who reside in Laguna Woods Village, which is a 55+ senior community.

2. Answer the following:
a. Summarize the Scope of Work for your project.

Part 1: Florence Sylvester Senior Center Improvements. During FY 24-25 Age Well will hire a qualified contractor to apply heat reflecting protective coatings to all appropriate exterior surfaces and the interior dining room surfaces.

Part 2: Sidewalk Improvements: The City proposes to replace intersection corner curb ramps at 19 intersections. The City of Laguna Hills has identified curb ramp intersection corner replacements at 15 intersections on Paseo de Valencia from El Toro Road to Hawk High Way, and at 4 intersections on Alicia Parkway from Paseo de Valencia to Moulton Parkway. These existing curb ramps do not meet current design standards because they lack truncated domes and/or do not have zero-inch curb lips at the point of entry.
b. Describe why this project is needed and cite evidence to substantiate the need.

Part 1: Florence Sylvester Senior Center Improvements. On sunny days and peak use days the Center’s main dining room can become very warm. This is uncomfortable for participants and may be unsafe for some seniors. Age Well has taken steps, and plans additional steps, to reduce heat in the center including passive and energy-efficient measures such as window coverings and heatreducing paint (this proposal). They expect these measures to encourage use of the center and access to nutrition and enrichment programs.
“Cool roof” and “cool wall” strategies have been in use for decades to reduce energy consumption and reduce the contribution of buildings to “heat islands” in urban areas. New technologies are continually being developed, such as a colorful paint developed by Stanford University researchers that reduced the energy used for heating by about 36 percent in experiments.* A variety of heat4.5.b Packet Pg. 72

Part 2: Sidewalk Improvements. Pedestrian walkway design and operation must comply with the accessibility standards set forth in the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) of 1968, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. Additionally, the California Department of Transportation has published an ADA compliance handbook titled Permanent Pedestrian Facilities ADA Compliance Handbook (“Handbook”) dated March 2018, which specifies the design of curb ramps necessary to comply with these accessibility standards. The Handbook specifies that flush transitions at curb ramps to walks, gutters, and streets are required, and no lips are allowed - the one-quarter (1/4) inch change in surface level allowance is not allowed.

The Handbook also specifies that truncated domes are required for a length and width as specified in the Handbook. Furthermore, Caltrans now requires that all truncated domes be “Federal yellow” in color. Some of the curb ramps within the project limits have “baby blue” color truncated domes installed, instead. Therefore, the curb ramps identified for this project do not currently comply with these design standards.
c. Describe how the project preserves a low and moderate-income neighborhood or provides other community benefits.

Part 1: Florence Sylvester Senior Center Improvements. The Florence Sylvester Senior Center serves communities of Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods, Aliso Viejo, Lake Forest, and other communities.

The immediate area has one of the highest concentrations of older adults in Orange County. The Center provides a safe, accessible, friendly resource for seniors, who are presumed to be low-and moderate-income persons.

Part 2: Sidewalk Improvements. Curb ramps provide basic access at intersections and pedestrian crossings. Without the required curb ramps, sidewalk travel as the potential of being dangerous, difficult, and in some cases impossible for people who use wheelchairs, scooters, or other mobility aids. These curb ramps have been selected as priority locations due to the high volume of pedestrian crossings and use, lack of compliant ramps that do not conform to the Handbook, and future companion work that will occur on Paseo de Valencia (repaving project).

5. Answer each question below in approximately one to four paragraphs. a. Based upon your description of this project in Part II.A: Priority Needs, HUD Eligibility Requirements and National Objective, state how your organization will address meeting a priority need with your performance and outcomes. In your description, state how your performance objectives and performance outcomes apply to the project’s beneficiaries and specifically explain how this project will affect the beneficiaries.

Part 1: Florence Sylvester Senior Center Improvements. This project improves the Florence Sylvester Senior Center. Senior Centers have been identified as a high priority by the County.

The population to be served is older adults, primarily ages 62 and over, an eligible presumedbenefit population. The objective of this project is to improve comfort for senior participants, thereby encouraging use of the center and ensuring access by seniors to nutrition and enrichment activities. Improvements to energy efficiency may be reflected in utility costs.

Part 2: Sidewalk Improvements. This project will meet a priority need by replacing curb ramps with compliant curb ramps at locations on Paseo de Valencia and Alicia Parkway to ensure that low to moderate-income populations within adjoining Laguna Woods Village and the Via Lomas housing tracts, and visitors, have the ability to safely use the available sidewalks in the

area. This project signifies the City’s commitment to becoming more ADA compliant by improving paths of travel for low to moderate-income populations and the elderly. b. Describe what tools your organization will utilize to measure this project’s effect on the intended beneficiaries. In your description include how your organization will measure its success in meeting the needs of the project’s beneficiaries.

Part 1: Florence Sylvester Senior Center Improvements. Age Well proposes to monitor use of the center over time. A wide variety of factors influence use of the center, most recently the total shut down of senior centers in response to COVID. Age Well will also monitor energy use and temperatures within the building to evaluate the effect of the heat reduction strategies.

Because multiple strategies are being used to reduce heat (upgraded HVAC, window coverings, cool walls) it may not be practical to isolate the effect of the heat-reducing coatings.

Part 2: Sidewalk Improvements. The City will use several tools in measuring the project’s effect on the intended beneficiaries. City staff regularly monitors vehicular and pedestrian traffic in the proposed project area. The City will measure its success in meeting the needs of the described populations based on whether it has provided more accessible pedestrian mobility in accordance with ADA standards, specifically the Permanent Pedestrian Facilities ADA Compliance Handbook. Engineering inspections will be performed during construction of the project and at the project’s completion.
c. Describe the specific population that your project will serve (i.e., low to moderate-income).

Part 1: Florence Sylvester Senior Center Improvements. The population to be served is older adults, primarily ages 62 and over, an eligible presumed-benefit population of low to moderate income clientele (LMC).

Part 2: Sidewalk Improvements. This project is focused on benefitting the low to moderate income population within Laguna Woods Village, adjacent to Paseo de Valencia, and within the Via Lomas housing tract, adjacent to Alicia Parkway. Available Census Block Data ranks the low to moderate income population within the area serving project at approximately

66.47% (weighted average calculation based on the table below). d. Describe the intended benefits to the population being served (i.e., preservation of a low to moderate-income neighborhood).

Part 1: Florence Sylvester Senior Center Improvements. The Florence Sylvester Senior Center is a safe, accessible, friendly environment where older adults are welcome. Older adults use the center to access nutritious lunches (at no fee to participants), musical entertainment, lectures on health and safety, educational, arts, and language programs, and much more.

These resources are provided to support and prolong the ability of seniors to live independently in their own homes, thereby protecting neighborhoods and communities.

Part 2: Sidewalk improvements. The intended benefits of this project include enhancements to access the City’s sidewalk system through the replacement of curb ramps that meet ADA requirements, which in turn, provides a more barrier-free, safe, and convenient path of travel for all citizens.

Conditional Use Permit No. USE-0157-2023

SUMMARY:

Zac Reese (the “Applicant”) requests approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to establish “Danckuts Institute of Hair”, a barber school. The business will be located at 23024 Lake Forest Drive, Suite F, an existing 1,238 square-foot tenant space within the Laguna Hills Business Center (the “Center”). The Center is owned by the David Melili Company, which has authorized the Applicant to apply for the requested entitlement.

The proposed barber school will operate Monday through Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., providing three stations for students to train. Each station will allow for one student and one customer. There will be one instructor training the students. As conditioned, the proposed facility will be a complementary addition to the businesses offered at the Laguna Hills Business Center as the Center continues to provide a mix of retail uses and services.

The proposed CUP is consistent with the General Plan’s goals and strategies for the Mixed Use land use designation. Furthermore, the proposed CUP complies with the City of Laguna Hills Development Code. Therefore, Staff recommends approval of CUP No. USE-0157-2023.

AUTHORITY:

Laguna Hills Municipal Code (“LHMC”) Chapter 9-30 (Table 9-30.020 Mixed Uses) identifies “School, Commercial” as an allowed use within the Mixed Use zoning district through an approved CUP. LHMC Section 9-04.190 defines “School, Commercial” as “any building or part thereof which is designed, constructed or used for education or instruction in any branch of knowledge or art form for commercial purposes”. The process the City must follow in reviewing a CUP for the proposed use is found in LHMC Section 9-92.080(C). Staff has prepared findings demonstrating that the proposed CUP complies with the Development Code, Mixed Use zoning district, and the General Plan as stated in the Proposed Resolution of Approval (Attachment “A”), and based on these findings recommends approval of the CUP.

BACKGROUND:

The Laguna Hills Business Center is a commercial shopping center located on the southwest corner of Lake Forest Drive and Avenida De La Carlota as shown in Figure No. 1 below. The Shell Gas Station located on the southeast corner of Lake Forest Drive and Del Lago Drive is not considered a part of the Center. The Center was originally

5.5.1 Packet Pg. 102
Conditional Use Permit No. USE-0157-2023
January 23, 2024

Page 3 ends

developed in 1978 under the County’s jurisdiction (SP76-18). Since the original approval, the Center has remained generally unchanged, and the property maintains coordinated circulation, parking, and landscaping.

Figure No. 1- Vicinity Map
The Center consists of ten buildings and currently the existing tenants consist of a mix of office uses, fitness studios, services uses, retail, and restaurants. The City considers the Center, with multiple property owners, as one cohesive shopping center as indicated on the Vicinity Map above.

Currently, the tenant space of the proposed barber school is a barbershop that is owned by the Applicant. The barbershop was approved in 2016 (COM-12-16-14281) and underwent a remodel for the approval of four barber chairs.

PROPOSAL & ANALYSIS:

The Applicant requests approval of a CUP to establish a barber school– a commercial school use – in the existing 1,238 square-foot tenant space. According to the Applicant’s Letter of Justification (Attachment B), the proposed school will operate Monday through Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., providing training and instruction to a maximum of three students at any given time. Upon proper training, customers will be able to come to the barber school and receive haircuts from the students. Staff has included Condition of Approval No. 21 to ensure that the services offered to the public at the

5.5.1 Packet Pg. 103
Conditional Use Permit No. USE-0157-2023
January 23, 2024

Page 4 ends

school will be limited to those necessary for the enrolled students to achieve minimum training hours required by the applicable accreditation body, or as otherwise determined to be appropriate by the Community Development Director.

The tenant space will require minor interior modifications to convert the existing barbershop to a barber school. Currently, the existing barbershop is approved for four barber stations. However, to accommodate the barber school, one station will be removed. No exterior improvements are proposed other than a wall sign. The proposed floor plan includes three barber stations, a waiting area, three wash bowls, training counter, product storage area and a restroom (Attachment C).

Because the business will operate entirely indoors, no noise impacts are expected.

Interior doors leading to the barber school shall remain closed to minimize potential noise impacts (Condition of Approval No. 20).

The tenant space for the proposed barber school is 1,238 square feet. According to LHMC Table 9-44.A, the parking requirement for Commercial School uses and similar uses including “trade schools, business school and adult education” is one parking stall per 1.5 people based on the maximum number of students and staff. However, due to the additional element of customers visiting the barber school, staff recommends the proposed use be parked at the ratio for barbershop with one additional stall per instructor. Therefore, parking for the proposed barber school will include two stalls per barber chair, as detailed in LHMC 9-44.A, plus one stall per instructor, resulting in a total parking requirement of seven stalls.

There is a private reciprocal parking covenant recorded on the properties to ensure parking is shared in-common amongst all tenants in the Center. The Center has a total of 418 parking spaces, and with the existing tenancy mix, there is a parking deficiency of 48 parking stalls. The existing barber shop was originally approved to have four barber chairs requiring eight parking stalls. In order to accommodate the proposed barber school, the applicant proposes to reduce the number of barber chairs to three, to account for an instructor. With this reduction, the proposed use requires seven parking stalls, reducing the parking deficiency by one stall.

CONCLUSION:

Staff supports approval of the proposed CUP, as conditioned. The proposed barber school complies with all requirements of the General Plan, and is consistent with the Land Use Element. Table LU-1 of the General Plan describes the purpose and intent of

5.5.1 Packet Pg. 104
Conditional Use Permit No. USE-0157-2023
January 23, 2024

Page 5 ends

land uses within the Mixed Use designation to provide a variety of goods and services for the area. The proposed commercial school use is compatible with the General Plan’s description of the desired uses, by providing a service use to the area residents. The proposed commercial school use is permitted with a CUP in the Mixed Use zone and will be conducted entirely inside the tenant space. The proposed CUP complies with all requirements of the Development Code, Mixed Use zoning district, and General Plan.

Therefore, Staff recommends approval of CUP No. USE-0157-2023.

PUBLIC NOTICE:

The proposed project was advertised in an adjudicated newspaper of general circulation on January 11, 2024. A total of 56 public hearing notices were mailed, which includes all property owners within a 300-foot radius of the subject property, as well as all tenants of the subject property. To date no comments have been received by Staff.

CEQA FINDINGS:

Staff has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and determined that this project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 of Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (Class 1, Existing Facilities). This exemption applies to the permitting or minor alteration of existing structures.

The proposed barber school is compatible with the General Plan’s description of the desired uses in the Mixed Use zone, which implements the Mixed Use land use designation.

2. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures have been considered and the proposed conditional use will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures.

The tenant space is located in the Mixed Use (MXU) zoning district, in the northern portion of Laguna Hills. The project site is located on the southwest corner of Lake Forest Drive and Avenida De La Carlota. The surrounding area consists of the City of Irvine to the north and commercial and office uses to the east, west and south. The project site consists of 10 buildings, which comprises the “Laguna Hills Business Center” shopping center. The uses in the project site consist of a mix of office uses, fitness studios, services uses, retail, and restaurants. The proposed barber school is consistent with other retail and service uses at the Laguna Hills Business Center, located along Lake Forest Drive and Avenida De La Carlota. The proposed barber school will be conducted entirely inside the tenant space, ensuring compatibility with the existing uses.

3. The proposed site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use and integrate it with the existing and planned uses in the vicinity.

As described above, surrounding uses include office uses, fitness studios, services uses, retail, and restaurants. The project site has 10 commercial buildings totaling 86,059 square feet. There are 418 parking spaces located on the project site. The project site is typical of other commercial shopping centers in Laguna Hills in terms of the nature of the improvements provided that result in a functioning commercial property. The existing improvements are sufficient to serve the use and ensure it is properly integrated with existing uses in the vicinity through existing shared improvements on the project site such as utilities, parking, landscaping, and pedestrian and vehicular access. The proposed use is a service use that does not require any unique or unusual site improvements to operate. The use will operate entirely within the confines of an existing tenant space on the project site,

and the Applicant will make necessary tenant improvements to the tenant space to operate the use.

4. All required development standards prescribed by the Development Code can be achieved.

The project site is improved with seven commercial buildings totaling 86,059 square feet and 418 parking spaces. The site is typical of other commercial shopping centers in Laguna Hills in terms of the nature of the improvements provided that result in a functioning commercial property. The existing improvements are sufficient to serve the use consisting of existing shared improvements on the project site such as utilities, parking, landscaping, and pedestrian and vehicular access which comply with the City’s development standards, or will comply as conditioned. The proposed barber school will be located within an existing building, and interior tenant improvements are proposed to serve the use.

5. That the conditions and limitations placed upon the use are necessary to ensure compatibility with adjacent or abutting uses and the preservation of the public peace, safety, and welfare.

Conditions have been included to ensure the use is compatible with adjacent uses. Such conditions include that all business activities shall take place indoors within the tenant space, and any doors leading to the barber school shall remain closed (not propped open) during business hours (Condition 20) and that the services offered to the public at the school will be limited to those necessary for the enrolled students to achieve minimum training hours required by the applicable accreditation body, or as otherwise determined to be appropriate by the Community Development Director. (Condition 21). These conditions help to ensure that the barber school will not adversely affect adjacent uses due to excess noise or property maintenance issues.

NOW, THEREFORE, based upon the above findings, the Planning Agency of the City of Laguna Hills does hereby approve CUP No. USE-0157-2023 subject to the following conditions:
