three accessory buildings in the rear with a total floor area of 3,051 square feet. The
Planning Commission approved the request in a 3-2 vote.
2. On November 7, 2011, the City Council requested to review the Planning
Commission's decision because of the neighbors' concern about noise. The
neighbors complained, at time of the Planning Commission meeting, that the
existing use had generated serious noise impact on their properties. The noise
issues were associated with some evening meetings and congregations conducted
on the site. If the proposed preschool/kindergarten were to be approved, it could be
an added noise impact on the enjoyment of their properties.
3. On December 20, 2011 and at a regular meeting, the City Council reviewed the
matter through a noticed public hearing. After receiving testimonies from the public
and a subsequent discussion among the council members, the Council decided to
continue the discussion to a date certain which was set for the meeting of February
7, 2012. The Council also directed staff to collect information about the existing
noise level on the subject site and to retain the opinion of the City's traffic engineer
on the potential impact of parking and traffic that will be generated by the project.
4. On January 1 0, 12, 13, 15, and 19 of 2012, a City Community Preservation Officer
conducted site visits to the subject site. Observation on the noise level was recorded
and is summarized in the Attachment "K". In addition, the opinion of the City's traffic
engineer about the traffic impact was also received and is provided in Attachment
"L.,.
5. On January 19, 2012, notice was sent to the property owners within the 500-foot
radius of the subject site, notifying City Council's review on the case scheduled for the
meeting of February 7, 2012.
6. On January 30, 2012, the applicant submitted the revised project proposal which
included additional modifications to the original request, primarily related to hours of
operation and noise barrier options (see Attachment "1").
ANALYSIS:
The inspection conducted by city staff indicates that no excessive noise was observed
at the time of the site visit, and the opinion of the City's traffic engineer suggests that no
significant traffic impact is anticipated for the project (please refer to Attachments "K"
and "L" for details). However, the reported incidents of noise and nearby resident
concerns of potential added noise impacts from the proposed preschool/kindergarten
should be addressed in reviewing this request for a conditional use permit.
Staff recommends certain measures be incorporated as conditions of approval -the
conditions address hours of operation (the modified hours proposed by the applicant)

and sound issues that may include barrier walls (and/or hedges) along the western and
northern perimeters of the preschool/kindergarten. The most significant new conditions
recommended are to: prohibit any other activities to be conducted on the proposed
preschool/kindergarten site which includes the two buildings, the playground area, and
the parking lot of the preschool/kindergarten (see Condition 7 of Attachment G); and a
condition clearly stating the revocation power of the City should the noise generated by
the project become a significant issue in the future (see Condition 13 of Attachment G).
It should be noted that for the barrier walls (and/or hedges), there are three options
proposed to be considered below. However, in the alternate Draft Resolution
(Attachment G) staff recommends option c) as it appears to be the most effective
measure to attenuate sound (see Condition 5 in the Draft Resolution).
The three options are:
a) Plant 24-inch box Podocarpus Micro trees at a maximum of 5-foot spacing along the
western and northern perimeter walls adjacent to the preschool/kindergarten site .
The landscape and irrigation plan shall be subject to the review and approval of the
Community Development Department. The improvement shall be completed prior to
the issuance of a City's business license.
b) Install an 8-foot acoustical wall (with a landscape pattern -as proposed by the
applicant in their January 30, 2012 submittal) along the western and northern
perimeter walls adjacent to the preschooVkindergarten site, subject to a Zone
Variance approval prior to the Conditional Use Permit being valid. (The maximum
height is limited to six feet per city zoning regulation on a residential zoned lot.)
c) Install acoustical roof-type structures along the western and northern perimeter walls
adjacent to the preschool/kindergarten site. The structure shall be in substantial
compliance with the structural details shown in "Section Through Fence" (detail
3/A4) in the Site Plan submitted on January 30, 2012. Said structure will be subject
to review and approval of the city's Building and Safety Division in accordance with
Building Code regulation. If the structures are not constructed at a stand-alone
location away from the property line and are attached to the existing block fence
walls then it would be subject to a Zone Variance approval (to exceed the six foot
height limit for residential zoned lots) prior to the Conditional Use Permit being valid.
The recommended conditions are included in an Alternative Resolution as Attachment
"G" to this report . The changes from the original approved Planning Commission
Conditions are underlined. (See Conditions No. 1, 4, 5, 7, and 13; in addition, the
previous condition No. 8 is recommended to be deleted)

2 . On November 7, 2011, the decision was requested to be reviewed by the City
Council because of the neighbors' concern about noise. The neighbors complained,
at time of the Planning Commission meeting, that the existing use had generated
serious noise impact on their properties. The noise issues were associated with
some evening meetings and congregations conducted on the site. If the proposed
preschool/kindergarten were to be approved, it could be an added noise impact on
the enjoyment of their properties.
3. On November 9, 2011, notice was sent out to the property owners within the sao-
foot radius of the subject site , notifying City Council's review on the case scheduled
for the meeting of December 20, 2011 .
ANALYSIS:
At the October 251h Planning Commission meeting, staff had recommended approval of
the project. The recommendation was based on the land use pattern and the result of
the traffic impact assessment. Staff feels that co-locating a preschool/kindergarten with
an existing religious establishment could be a compatible use in terms of parking and
traffic concerns. Pursuant to the zoning regulation, a school is a daytime use which is a
joint use with a nighttime/Sunday use (such as a church) on the parking facilities. For
the noise issue, staff estimated that the potential impact would be concentrated in the
two short periods proposed for the outdoor activities of the school, which would be
between 10:00 am to 11 :00 am in the morning and between 3:45 pm to 4:45 pm in the
afternoon.
However, the concerns of the neighboring property owners should be addressed. In
particular, the residential properties immediately adjacent to the proposed playground
of the preschool/kindergarten may be affected by the increased noise level. Also, the
existing religious activities could be better managed to reduce the source of noise.
In balancing the legitimate interest of conducting a business in the city and the concern
coming from the neighboring residential property owners, staff recommends one or more
of the following measures, if deemed necessary:
1. Require that evening worshiping activities (other than quiet congregation activities
such as a small group bible study meeting with no amplified music) be ceased inside
the three facilities proposed for the pre-school/kindergarten.
2. Increase the height of the perimeter walls to a minimum of six feet abutting the
residential properties to the north and to the west.
3. Plant 24" box Podocarpus Micro trees along the perimeter wall at a m1mmum
spacing of 1 0 feet on center to the satisfaction of the Community Development
Director. (It should be noted that on the resubmitted site plan, the applicant also
proposes to plant trees, as a buffer of noise along the perimeter walls on the west and
City Council

on the north. Please see Section 6 of the binder packet dated December 12, 2011,
submitted by the applicant)
4. Adjust the opening hours for the business from 6:30 a.m . in the morning to a later
time of 7:30 a.m. in the morning.
5. Require that no drop~off and pick-up activities be conducted in the small parking lot
in front of the preschool/kindergarten buildings.
As a reminder, that after approval of a Conditional Use Permit the City Planning
Commission has the authority to consider revocation of the Conditional Use Permit or
imposing additional conditions, if future complaints and evidence demonstrate that the
business has caused negative impacts or violations of any conditions.
The binder packet submitted by the applicant dated December 12, 2011 (provided
under separate cover as Attachment G) includes additional information the City Council
may wish to consider such as petition signatures and other research and analysis
related to the proposed use and noise issues.

Background:
Grace Baptist Church is a long time religious establishment in town. The institution is
located on the west side of Temple City Boulevard between Live Oak and Broadway
Avenue on a site of 7 4, 490 square feet. The site is developed with a main worship
building, a pastor's residence, and two accessory structures. The total building area on
the site is approximately 11,400 square feet. Parking is facilitated in the parking lot
along the side and behind the main worship building and there are a total of 50 stalls
including five (5) handicapped parking spaces. Vehicular access is through the two
driveways located on Temple City Boulevard which are both one-way bound design
(ingress or egress only) to direct the traffic entering the site from the northerly driveway
and exiting from the southerly driveway. The site is zoned R-3 and is designated as
Institutional by the City's General Plan Land Use Map.
The proposed project involves the two accessory buildings located in the rear of the lot
toward the westerly property line. The two structures had been utilized for the Sunday
school program of the church in the past, and are currently used for small group
assembly and religious studies. The total floor area of the two buildings is
approximately 3,000 square feet.
Proposed Development:
Golden Apple Christian Academy proposes to occupy the two accessory buildings for a
school/Kindergarten. The business will have a total of four classrooms inside the
buildings and have the adjacent open and semi-covered areas for the playground. The
business will operate from 6:30 am to 6:30 pm, Monday through Friday, and from 8:30
am to 12:30 pm on Saturdays. The proposed maximum number of students is 60 and
ages of the students will range from 2.5 years old to 6 years old. The proposed total
classroom area is 2,202 square feet and the proposed playground area is
approximately 5,000 square feet.
Public Hearing: October 25, 2011
Conditional Use Permit 11-1795
5537 Temple City Boulevard
Analysis:
Page3
Pursuant to the City's Zoning Code, a preschool/kindergarten is considered an
Educational Institute which is subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. In light
of the criteria of the conditional approval and after evaluating the land use and traffic
impact, staff feels that the project could be supported.
In the past experience, co-locating a child care facility or an educational institute with an
established religious institution could result in a compatible land use development. Many
religious institutions have existing facilities or rooms which are occasionally utilized. Most
weekday activities are conducted in the evening hours and the largest congregation is
expected on the weekends. Onsite parking is often adequate because zoning standards
require that parking is provided based on the size of the main assembly hall where
Sunday worship service would be conducted. Consequently, a business which sets the
operation hours around the religious activity could be a good use for those underutilized
facilities. In this case, the proposed preschool/kindergarten will operate from Monday
through Saturday, closing on Sundays when the major congregation of the church is
expected. The church has no weekday activity except for the two bi-weekly meetings
scheduled in the morning at 10:00 am on the 2nd and 41h Tuesday of each month. Onsite
parking is adequate with a total of 50 parking spaces in the parking lot. The overall
circulation pattern is optimal for diverting the traffic and the small adjacent parking lot
could be used exclusively for pick-up and drop-off of the school.
Essentially, staff feels that the facilities proposed for the school are separated from the
main worship building which would help minimizing the conflict of the two different land
uses. The project is consistent with the land use designation of the site and traffic impact
will not be significant. With the conditions stipulated in the Draft Resolution, staff could
recommend for approval of the project.
It should be noted that the applicant has requested a total of 60 students for the business.
In comparison of the occupancy standards of the Department of Social Service which is
the licensing authority of a child care facility and which requires 35 square feet indoor
space per child and 75 square feet outdoor space per child, it appears that the requested
60 maximum number of students would be in compliance. However, staff has
incorporated a condition in the Draft Resolution requiring that the business acquire the
corresponding state licenses prior to the issuance of the City's business license; and if the
determination of the Department of Social Service and/or other authorities such as the
Fire Department concludes a lower capacity based on the condition of the facilities, the
business is obligated to comply with that more stringent standard, and the maximum
number of students approved by the corresponding authority shall dictate the final
approved capacity.

Project Address: 5537 Temple City Blvd., Temple City,
Dear Temple City Councilman:
We are residences of Temple City, our home nearby Grace Baptist Church, we are very happy to
see Golden Apple Christian Academy choose Grace Baptist Church to do business such as take
care children, and we are very exciting to look forward this school open soon in this church,
because we know how difficult to enroll in the preschools in Temple city, the preschools in
Temple City are not enough to cover families' needs, many families go to Arcadia and San Gabriel
to find preschools for their child, they are on those Temple city preschools waiting list over a year,
but kids still growing up, everybody know public school do not have preschool, so we need more
preschools in this area, otherwise many school age kids left at home, and nobody can teach them at
home, so we are sure this project is great for us and for city.
Now, we sincerely urge you, our representatives of city, please approve this project, and let's build
a wonderful commm1ity together. We appreciate your intelligent judgment and right decision.

Re: Approval of the Golden Apple Christian Academy Preschool at Grace Baptist Church
Project Address: 5537 Temple City Blvd., Temple City,
Dear Temple City Council Members:
\V.: arc residents of Temple City and our homes are in the Grace Baptist Church area. We are in
agreement and would be pleased to see the Golden Apple Christian Academy choose Grace Raptist
Church lor the Christian pre-school project. We arc excited and look forward to the facility
opening in our neighborhood. There are not enough pre-schools in Temple City. Many tamilies
must travel to Arcadia and San Gabriel in order to find pre-schools for their children. The children
are on Temple City pre-school waiting lists over a year at times. We are sure this project will be
great for families and good for Temple City.

PURPOSE & VALUE
Golden Apple Christian Academy exists for the purpose of assisting
the family and the Church in meeting their responsibilities to teach
children God's Word. Golden Apple Christian Academy provides Christ-
centered learning experiences which promote self-esteem and a
positive atmosphere for growth. Responding then in obedience to God
and His Word, we therefore follow:
God's promise that we are to "train up a child in the way he
should go, and when he is old he will not part from it." Proverbs 22:6
God's command that parents are to "raise their children in
the nurture and admonition of the Lord." Ephesians 6:4
God's commission is that the church "makes disciples of all
nations, (including children), and to teach them to observe all things
commanded by the Lord." Matthew 28:19-20
Golden Apple Christian Academy provides an opportunity for early
Christian training by meeting children's needs spiritually, physically,
emotionally, socially, creatively, and intellectually. Our trained
teachers foster this development within each child's own individual
needs through daily classroom experiences and through their praise,
acceptance and approval of each child's work, play and behavior.
Our focus is on developing the whole child through age appropriate
activities. Our goal is to develop our students into confident, well
rounded individuals with Christian values. The Golden Apple Christian
Academy staff is highly qualified and educated working faithfully to
build a solid foundation for the children. We serve preschool ages 2v2
to 6 years who are potty trained l

Introduction:
Confident children start here Golden Apple Christian Academy-Preschool:
We know that preschooler's physical development is much more important than the academic
development. We provide morning snack, hot nutritional lunch, and afternoon snack. The menu
and food is supervised by our profess ional and friendly director.
Our focus on a child's overall growth enables not only academic readiness and preparedness. but
also their social, emotional, and physical growth, life style, etc. We believe that each child has
unique and individual talents and interests. Our teachers honor these differences with customized
attention and activities to help every child learn and grow at their own pace in their own style.
Program:
Golden Apple Academy has created an age-appropriate curriculum that covers
ten major areas of learning:
Preschool:
Open your preschooler's eye to a world of possibility in the preschool years;
children begin to develop a keen understanding of themselves and a heightened
awareness of the world around them. It's the pelfect time to nmture budding
interests and skills that will last a lifetime. Our program for preschoolers targets
school readiness and the development of critical literacy skills. Children are
introduced to specific academic subjects though lively participation in:
Language Arts
Mathematic
Science & Discovery
Social Studies
Dramatic Play
Music
Arts & Crafts
Health & Nutrition
Bible Study & Computer
Physical Education
Second Language Development (Chinese, Spanish, French)
Pre-Kindergartener's Academic Standard:
Professional and experience teacher make and adjust the weekly lesson plan base
students' different level and examination report on the following philosophy:
1. Children learn through active exploration-our programs encourage
children to explore, experiment, and discover solutions through active
manipulation of an array of projects and materials.
2. Learning comes from open-ended experiences-our teachers encourage
children to exercise their imaginations and reasoning skills through
creative problem solving. We believe the process of finding answers is
infinitely more valuable than the answers themselves.
3. Adults are facilitators of childhood learning-our teachers are encouraged
to ask children questions and initiate discussions. They are trained to
create learning environments that are stimulating and enjoyable.
Overall:
At Golden Apple Christian Academy-Preschool, we're dedicated to giving your
preschooler the opportunity to learn and grow in a rich and developmentally
appropriate environment. Our educationally sound, interactive activities will
challenge their imaginations and encourage essential skills for success-both in
school and throughout life.
Parent-Teacher communication at Golden Apple Preschool, we encourage
parents to be involved as full partners and participants in their child's academic
experience. Teachers are available every day to discuss your issues, concerns and
suggestion. Remember, we care about your child same as you. When you enroll
your child at our preschool, we'll keep you informed about their progress.
Your preschooler 'Will also have opportunities to demonstrate and practice
decision-making and self-help skills in a safe, supportive environment. Give your
child a strong foundation to build on-for success in school and in life.

The foundation for educational and spiritual life begins in the first
five years of the life. We establish this foundation with an academic
curriculum and high qualified teachers, in a setting warmed by the
loving "Golden Apple" of God's son, Jesus.
Overall, we already know that we only have 3 church preschools
involve in Early Christian Education and multi-cultural education,
there are shortage to assisting the family and the church in meeting
their responsibilities to teach children God's Word. Also according to
the fast growth multi-cultural population in Temple City, we need
establish new church preschool and kindergarten to improve our
education level.
According to our survey, south-east of Grace Baptist Church, about
1. 7 miles away, only have one preschool called Love & Care Christian
Preschool., you will not find any preschool between these areas; all
other five preschools are in the west-north of Grace Baptist church.
According to the 2000 Census, Temple City had a population of
33,400 with 1900 kids under 5. Last year we had 35,600 people on the
2010 census report, and a corresponding increased number of children
under 5. The 8 preschools total capacity is 713 children, we should
know many kids don't have preschool now.

I have a little boy who was born in Feb 2007. In that year, I putted his name
on waiting list in 3 different preschools in different cities, first one is Ark
Christian Preschool Kindergarten in Temple City, second one is Lily's
Garden Preschool in Alhambra, third one is All Season Learning Center in
Acadia, when I was applied for my son, they all said they don't have space,
they were full.
They never call me. 2 years later, I called these 3 preschools again; they said
they were still full and no space available. Until my son was 3years, I called
Ark Christian Academy-Preschool again, and they said they don't have
space but maybe later will call me, couple days later, they finally called me
and enrolled my son. In fact, All Season and Lily's Garden still no space
until right now.
Overall, we really need more preschools to educate our kids in Temple City,
otherwise our economy will behind our neighborhood cities, and residents of
Temple City may move out to other cities due to they cannot find available
preschools nearby, they will feel very inconvenience to travel to Arcadia,
San Gabriel or Rosemead to send their children to accept Early Childhood
Education.
That is why, we asked more than 200 residents of Temple City to got their
opinion about this project before this meeting, and we got over 230 petition
signatures from our community and city. Many people very happy and look
forward Golden Apple Christian Preschool open soon.

INTERVIEW WITH TEMPLE CITY RESIDENTS ASKING FOR A
NEW PRESCHOOL-KINDERGARTEN IN THEIR COMMUNITY
---According interviewed with 200 residents of Temple City , at least 7
preschool age kids stay home and look forward Golden Apple
Project open soon
Temple City Neighborhood Educational Needs
(Examples of Residents Opinion)
Survey by: Golden Apple Christian Academy Preschool Kindergarten
According to our petition process and survey (visited the neighbors' home), we
found children who stay at home; at least seven children staying at home need
this preschool right away, because the parents cannot find a nearby preschool.
Some of the preschools have no space. So they are excited and look forward
Golden Apple Christian Academy-Preschool kindergarten chooses Grace Baptist
Church for the Christian Preschool Project:
1. Neighbor's Name: Ms. Gloria Villicana
Address: 9652112 Live Oak Ave., Temple City, CA
Ms. Gloria just moved from Ventura County to Temple city a month ago.
She has a 3 year old daughter at home. She tried to find a preschool in
Temple City, but all the preschools told her that no space was available.
She is really worried about her daughter who will be 4 yrs old next January
and should go to Pre-K, but unfortunately she still stays home now. When
the mother knew that we are preparing a preschool across the street and
very close to her, she and her daughter were very happy. Also, Ms. Gloria
is a preschool teacher who worked in Ventura before, but she can't find a
job now.
2. Neighbor's Name: Ms. Erin Laase
Address: 5616 Temple City Blvd., #E Temple City, CA
Ms. Erin Laase has a 3 year old son who is a special needs child. Ms. Laase
is very excited that we are planning a preschool just across from her
house, because when she goes to work, she would not need to go to Covina
to send and pick up her son anymore.
3· Neighbor's Name: Mr. James Chung
Address: 5135 Sultana Ave., Temple City, CA
Mr. James Chung has a grandchild who is 2 yrs and 9 months. He
investigated about 7-8 preschools, but still is not satisfied with these
schools. He wants a preschool which has teachers and programs, both
in English and Chinese. They look forward Golden Apple Christian
Academy Preschool open soon.
4· Neighbor's Name: Ms. Selina Wong
Address: 5558 Temple City Blvd., Temple City, CA
Ms. Selina's little son, who is 3 years old, has been unable to be placed in
a preschool nearby. Her house is on Temple City Blvd, between Live Oak &
Broadway. Ms. Selina can't find any preschool, so she has no choice but let
.. her son stay home and wait for our Christian preschool to open.
5· Neighbor's Name: Ms. Leticia Estrada
Address: 5512 Temple City Blvd., #C Temple City, CA
Ms. Leticia Estrada has a 3 112 year old son who goes to Rosemead
Preschool, since she can't find any preschools nearby her house. She is
very happy to see Golden Apple preschool to open at Grace Baptist Church.
6. Neighbor's Name: Ms. Betty Wang
Address: 5605 Temple City Blvd., #A Temple City, CA
Ms. Betty Wang's son is currently 3 years old; he stays home and Ms.

learn both English and Chinese in Golden Apple Christian Preschool.
7. Neighbor's Name: Ms. Elie Tu
Address: 9658 Live Oak Ave., Temple City, CA
Ms. Elie Tu has a 2 year old daughter at home. Ms. Tu would really like to

convenient for her family.
8. Neighbor's Name: Mr. Loys Sanchez
Address: 5134 Sultana Ave., Temple City, CA
Mr. Loys Sanchez has a 2 month old son. He told us that his son needs our

NOISE INVESTIGATION, IN RESPONSE TO COMPLAINT OF
GRACE BAPTIST CHURCH
November 2011
To: Temple City Council Members
Re: Grace Baptist Church's Noise Investigation
Address: 5537 Temple City Blvd., Temple City
Because two neighbors complained that Grace Baptist Church's night noise was a
problem, we did the following investigation which lasted for two weeks; we
found some of the facts were different from what the complaining neighbors
reported:
10/28/n Friday 7:oopm-8:oopm
I went to the church and found around 8 people in the classroom. The door was
closed, when I stepped outside, I could not heard any noise at all.
10/29/2011 Saturday 8:oopm-9:oopm
Our school partner, whose name is Henry Wang, went to Grace Baptist Church at
8:oopm and found 5 people, including Chinese Pastor Tony sitting down on the
floor, and quietly talking to those 5 people. He took couple of pictures.
10/30/2011 Sunday 7:5opm-8:35pm
I and Henry Wang went to Grace Baptist Church at 7:5opm, the Spanish Church
Group pray at main sanctuary with music sound, I talked to those people, they
already informed to keep quiet by Grace Baptist Church's pastor Steve.
n/ 1/2011 Tuesday 7:3opm-8:oopm
I went to Grace Baptist Church at 7:3opm, only 3 people in the classroom and
kept very quiet, outside only found 3 cars in there.
n/ 5/2011 Saturday 7:oopm-8:oopm
Only 8 young peoples in the #1 classroom, and no any noise we found, all door
closed, when we stayed in outside, we did not heard any voice in parking lot, we
took some pictures and approximate 1 minute short video. In main chapel, about
9 peoples in there just spoke quietly and clean up their stuff, seems like they
already finished their service at 7:3opm. In parking lot, we found only 6 cars in
there.
n/6/11 Sunday 6:30pm-7:30Pm Raining
Only a few people in the chapel and found about 4 cars in parking lot.
From Monday to Thursday, within day time and night time, no any activity in the
classrooms and main chapel, and now we are talking with Spanish church to not
allow them to using the classrooms on Friday night.
Temple city code and noise ordinance clearly show, Sound emanating from public,
private school inCluded preschool is exempt from the Noise Code.
Above information that I provided is correct and true.

PROPOSALS BY GOLDEN APPLE CHRISTIAN ACADEMY PROJECT
TO ENSURE A REASONABLY QUIET SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT
---Quiet Schooling Proposal
---Electronic Gate Examples
---Plant Special Tree & Shrub as Noise Buffer According USDA
National Agro Forestry Center
---Shed Roof Maintenance Already Done
Quiet Schooling Proposal
Project: Golden Apple Christian Academy-Preschool Kindergarten
5537 Temple City Blvd., Temple City
To keep the area quiet, Golden Apple Christian Academy and Grace Baptist Church
would:
1. Limit outside play time to 30 minutes for 30 students, after which they go back to
their classroom and stay inside for indoor activities.
3. Saturday Chinese program is an optional program and the students do no have
outside play.
4. We will plant special trees and shrubs nearby the church's sidewall as noise
buffers.
5. No microphones will be allowed in the classrooms.
6. We will add a 6ft high electronic gate and fence around the small parking lot so
nobody can park there between 7:00am to 9:00am. Also we will keep our
original fence which was designed on the site plan before. This would be a double
fences design.
7 . We shall put "No Parking" signs in the church's north and west side parking
lots in the morning during school operation hours. The cars would only be
allowed to park at the main chapel parking lot and pastor residence side parking
lot. We have 50 onsite parking spaces.
8. We shall put "Quiet Zone" sign in English, Spanish and Chinese in the parking lot.
9. We shall inform all parents who come to school between 7am and 8:30am that
they need to keep quiet.
10. We will have our school staffhelp parent parking their car in order to ensure
safety and shorten parents' parking time in the afternoon .
1 I. The vans have been moved to another side of the church.
12. The shed roofs maintenance already done. The church will keep the monthly
maintenance.
11 1VI .ll l he Qver story #60--Trees as Noise Buffers
highways can help to serve as noise screens. Existing trees, shrubs, and grass
should be left undisturbed when possible, rather than replacing them with
harder surfaces detrimental to noise control. Noise may also be further
ameliorated by constructing land-forms, earthen dikes, masonry walls, or solid
wooden fences, and planting the trees and shrubs on the near side of these
barriers.
Multiple uses
Noise buffers can also be planned to provide multiple products or uses. For
example, a noise buffer oriented property may also serve as a windbreak.
When they contain native plants or habitat, noise buffers can provide wildlife
corridors. Species can also be selected to provide useful products such as
fuelwood, fruits, or nuts.

Background:
Grace Baptist Church is a long time religious establishment in town. The institution is
located on the west side of Temple City Boulevard between Live Oak and Broadway
Avenue on a site of 7 4, 490 square feet. The site is developed with a main worship
building, a pasto~s residence, and two accessory structures. The total building area on
the site is approximately 11 ,400 square feet. Parking is facilitated in the parking lot
along the side and behind the main worship building and there are a total of 50 stalls
including five (5) handicapped parking spaces. Vehicular access is through the two
driveways located on Temple City Boulevard which are both one-way bound design
(ingress or egress only) to direct the traffic entering the site from the northerly driveway
and exiting from the southerly driveway. The site is zoned A·3 and is designated as
Institutional by the City's General Plan Land Use Map.
The proposed project involves the two accessory buildings located in the rear of the lot
toward the westerly property line. The two structures had been utilized for the Sunday
school program of the church in the past, and are currently used for small group
assembly and religious studies. The total floor area of the two buildings is
approximately 3,000 square feet.
Proposed Development:
Golden Apple Christian Academy proposes to occupy the two accessory buildings for a
school/Kindergarten. The business will have a total of four classrooms inside the
buildings and have the adjacent open and semi-covered areas for the playground. The
business will operate from 6:30 am to 6:30 pm, Monday through Friday, and from 8:30
am to 12:30 pm on Saturdays. The proposed maximum number of students is 60 and
ages of the students will range from 2.5 years old to 6 years old. The proposed total
classroom area is 2,202 square feet and the proposed playground area is
approximately 5,000 square feet.
Public Hearing: October 25, 2011
Conditional Use Permit 11-1795
5537 Temple City Boulevard
Analysis:
Page3
Pursuant to the City's Zoning Code, a preschool/kindergarten is considered an
Educational Institute which is subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. In light
of the criteria of the conditional approval and after evaluating the land use and traffic
impact, staff feels that the project could be supported.
In the past experience, co-locating a child care facility or an educational institute with an
established religious institution could result in a compatible land use development. Many
religious institutions have existing facilities or rooms which are occasionally utilized. Most
weekday activities are conducted in the evening hours and the largest congregation is
expected on the weekends . Onsite parking is often adequate because zoning standards
require that parking is provided based on the size of the main assembly hall where
Sunday worship service would be conducted. Consequently, a business which sets the
operation hours around the religious activity could be a good use for those underutilized
facilities. In this case, the proposed preschool/kindergarten will operate from Monday
through Saturday, closing on Sundays when the major congregation of the church is
expected. The church has no weekday activity except for the two bi -weekly meetings
scheduled in the morning at 10:00 am on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month. Onsite
parking is adequate with a total of 50 parking spaces in the parking lot. The overall
circulation pattern is optimal for diverting the traffic and the small adjacent parking lot
could be used exclusively for pick-up and drop-off of the school.
Essentially, staff feels that the facilities proposed for the school are separated from the
main worship building which would help minimizing the conflict of the two different land
uses. The project is consistent with the land use designation of the site and traffic impact
will not be significant. With the conditions stipulated in the Draft Resolution, staff could
recommend for approval of the project.
It should be noted that the applicant has requested a total of 60 students for the business.
In comparison of the occupancy standards of the Department of Social Service which is
the licensing authority of a child care facility and which requires 35 square feet indoor
space per child and 75 square feet outdoor space per child, it appears that the requested
60 maximum number of students would be in compliance. However, staff has
incorporated a condition in the Draft Resolution requiring that the business acquire the
corresponding state licenses prior to the issuance of the City's business license; and if the
determination of the Department of Social Service and/or other authorities such as the
Fire Department concludes a lower capacity based on the condition of the facilities, the
business is obligated to comply with that more stringent standard, and the maximum
number of students approved by the corresponding authority shall dictate the final
approved capacity.

the Planning Commission finds as follows:
1. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size, shape, topography and
circumstances in that the subject property contains 74,490 square feet of land area
and11 ,400 square feet of building area. The proposed pre-school/kindergarten will
occupy two accessory buildings with a total of 3,000 square feet floor area, which
is adequate to accommodate the proposed 60 maximum students; and
2. That the site does have sufficient access to streets, adequate in width and
pavement type to carry the quantity and quality of traffic generated by the
proposed use in that the site is on T ample City Boulevard which is a local
thoroughfare with a 80-foot right-of-way and 64-foot roadway; adequate onsite
parking and vehicular ingress/egress are provided on the site and through the
circular driveways provided on Temple City Boulevard; and
3. That the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon the use, enjoyment or
valuation of adjacent or neighboring properties or upon the public welfare in that
the proposed project is consistent with the land use designation of the subject site.

A Discussion
Feb 7, 2012
(Temple City, CA)
By Golden Apple Christian Academy, In c
SUMMARY
. Preschool Case Study
What to look for in report?
. Common mistakes
. Expected noise levels
. Noise mitigation measures
-Interactive Session
1. SITE AND ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
It is proposed to develop a preschool on site at 553 7 Temple City Blvd. The
site currently comprises three structures as well as previous school
classrooms. It is proposed to reboot the brand new preschool to serve
children 2 ~ to 6 years old, from 7 AM to 6 PM, Monday through Friday.
A site map is shown in below:
2. MEASURED NOISE LEVELS
We attended the site on the 5 1h of January, 2012 to carry out a noise survey
of background noise levels.
Table 1: Summary of Measured Noise Levels.
Location Duration Description L L
In proposed (mm: ss) (dB) (dB)
Outdoor
Play area 15:00 Background noise measurement-traffic,
birds, distant machinery, occasional noise 36 45
from airplane fled through the site
16:00 Background noise measurement-traffic, birds,
occasional noise from fire engine through 3 5 45
the street
3. GENNERAL SOUND LEVEL STANDARDS:
Under the Temple City Noise Code, the site and adjacent noise sensitive
properties to the proposed development are zoned residential. According
Temple City Code Noise Ordinance 08-920, sound emanating from all
school including preschool is exempt from this provision of Article. But the
proposal preschool should compliance the city noise ordinance as
commercial business operation at Temple City.
The following table summaries the noise limits as applicable to this
development:
General Sound Level Standards:
Zone
Residential
Commercial
Industrial
7:00A.M. To lO:OOP. M.
55 dBA
65 dBA
75 dBA
I O:OOP.M. To 7:00A.M.
45 dBA
55dBA
75 dBA
9281.2 Special Sound sources Standards:
Sound Systems :
I. Sound amplifying equipment or live music is prohibited
between the hours often o'clock {10:00) P.M. and seven
o'clock (7:00)A. M. and sound emanating from sound
amplifying equipment or live music at any other time shall not
be audible to the human ear at a distance greater than two
hundred feet (200') from the equipment or music.
2. The use of sound amplifying equipment or live music in a
condominium complex which exceeds the noise limits as set
forth in section 9281 of this article, measured at any property
line, or, measured in another condominium unit within the
complex, shall be in violation of this article. (Ord . 08-920)
According this standard, Grace Baptist Church will keep all activities
operation within legal noise range and city noise ordinance scope as
their consideration for neighboring community.
4. NOISE from PRESCHOOL
Preschool shall be a discretionary activity with the exercise of the Council's
discretion limited to the location of outdoor activities and facility.
5. GUIDELINES for NOISE LEVELS
Temple City Noise Code (was last undated by ordinance 11-943 passed March 2011)
Generally 50-55 dB L (daytime)
Allow up to 55-65 dB L for short periods when corrected for
duration
Can usually be achieved at ground level with Acoustic Fence and
some setback
6. DISCUSSION
There are two sources of noise which need to be considered. Firstly, there
will be some noise from vehicle movements on site; secondly, there will be
noise from children playing outdoors.
6. 1 VEHICLE NOISE
We have calculated the likely level of vehicle noise at the boundaries on the
basis that if there are up to 60 children potentially at the centre there will be
120 vehicle movements per day. We have assumed that all noisy activities
associated with the car parking area will occur at least 0.5 meters from the
fence. We are proposing to erect an acoustic fence between the outdoor car
parking area and the adjacent dwellings.
Our calculations show that this scenario will result in noise levels of 35 dB L
and 65 dB L at the site boundaries when an acoustic fence is in place. These
noise levels will comply with the City Plan Development Standard criteria.
6.2 PLAYGROUND NOISE
In the following section, we have performed calculations based on measured
noise data. This noise data shows that noise levels from outdoor play areas
are typically 59 dB Land 68 dB Lata distance of 10 meters with no
screening in place.
The proposed site plan for this preschool shows the outdoor play areas
located on the northern part of the site. There are two adjacent residential
sites, both to the north. To the west is the school outdoor playground which
is not sensitive to noise from children playing.
The applicant is proposing to include an acoustic fence around the perimeter
of the site, except along the west boundary adjacent to the school.
We predict the following noise levels at surrounding boundaries at low level.
Table: Noise Levels at Boundaries during 30 minutes play time.
Boundary Location
North Boundary
West Boundary
South Boundary
L (Aeq)
51

L (AFmax)

It is evident from the above table that the activity exceeds the City Noise
Standards.
7. NOISE ASSESSMENT
As the preschool will exceed the City Business Noise Limits it is necessary
to perform an assessment of noise effects. We have considered the fol1owing
criteria:
The standard gives guideline upper noise levels that are generally acceptable
in Residential areas . The standard suggests that noise levels should be lower
than 55 dB L during the daytime. When averaging is taken into account,
preschool noise levels at the boundary of adjacent sites will be 50 dB L or
lower when the effect of the acoustic fence is taken into account.
8. WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION
GUIDELINES for Noise Levels
-Suggests 50 dB L(Aeq16 hour) moderate annoyance and 55 dB L(Aeq 16
hour) serious annoyance in outdoor living areas
-Duration Correction allows for higher short term noise levels
9. SUMMARY
The predicted level of noise generally complies with relevant standards and
guidelines at ground level.
On this basis we consider that (cantilevered) Acoustic Fence should be used
to mitigate noise to within the guideline values .
The following revised site plan with photos gives an example of a
cantilevered acoustic fence. (Note: That these photos have been set up as
example of this special fence, not exactly existing fence, it should be
depends on property wall's base weight and capacity to support this
proposing fence. It should be recognized that this measure is not the norm
and should not be considered in other preschool)
10. RECOMMED CONDITIONS OF CONSENT
An Acoustic Fence with Landscape or Outdoor Sound Blanket should be
install along the northern boundary of the site and around the car parking.
11. CONCLUSIONS
In order to reduce noise levels as lab tested STC of 28 represents over an
80% reduction in sound to the human ear, an Acoustic Fence or Outdoor
Sound Blanket is suggested to install along the northern boundary to ensure
line of sight screening is achieved between the outdoor play area and the
adjacent dwelling.

A. PUBLIC HEARING : APPEAL OF A PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION APPROVING
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 11-1795 - A REQUEST TO ESTABLISH A
PRESCHOOUKINDERGARTEN AT 5537 TEMPLE CITY BOULEVARD (Applicant
binder available in the City Clerk's Office)
Community Development Director Masura provided an overview of the request, stating
on October 25 , the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and adopted a
Resolution approving Conditional Use Permit 11-1795 to allow the establishment of a
preschool/kindergarten at 5537 Temple City Boulevard. The subject site is currently
occupied by Grace Baptist Church and the request is to co-locate a
preschool/kindergarten with the church . The proposed business will occupy three
accessory buildings in the rear with a total floor area of 3,051 square feet. The Planning
Commi ssi on approved the request in a 3-2 vote.
On November 7, 2011, the decision was requested to be reviewed by the City Council
because of the neighbors' concern about noise , claiming that the existing use had
generated serious noise impact on their properties . The noise issues were associated
with evening congregation meetings conducted on the site .
At the October 251
h Planning Commission meeting, staff had recommended approval of
the project based on the land use pattern and the result of the traffic impact assessment.
Co-locating a preschool/kindergarten with an existing relig ious establishment could be a
compatible use in terms of parking and traffic concerns . Also, pursuant to the zoning
regulation , the school daytime use is a compatible joint use with the church night time
use. Staff recommended upholding the Planning Commission's decision, but has
provided Council with other options including modifying the conditions or denying the
request. Seventeen conditions were included as part of the Planning Commission
Resolution, which were pointed out. The Planning Commission did not feel the issue
brought up, particularly concerning noise were significant enough to change the

conditions. The City Council was requested to review the Planning Commission's
decision and the resolution approving the Conditional Use Permit, and to make a final
determination based on any information or public testimony provided.
With the aid of a power point presentation, Associate Planner Liu provided a site
description, land use zoning, and location of the proposed classroom buildings.
Mayor Chavez opened the public hearing.
Eileen Li , applicant, referred to a petition of support signed by 230 residents, and
described the preschool plan and curriculum using four classrooms for children ranging
from 2~ to 6 years old. Ms. Li also previously submitted a packet of information on the
proposed preschool to the City Council.
Ms. Li answered questions from Council throughout her presentation.
Councilmember Stemquist inquired about the Saturday program which she felt might
change the scope of the proposed purpose of the application . As there is an excess of
20 schools in the City all competing for Chinese language schooling, she asked if Ms. Li
would consider eliminating that Saturday program as it was not the foundation of her
request and might have additional impacts.
Ms. Li explained that the Saturday program is an optional Chinese language program for
children of the same age group. She felt there was a need for a Saturday class as there
are currently only two open on Saturdays in residential areas.
The following persons spoke in favor of the request:
Jeff leo, Attorney for the applicant; Steve Tvre, Temple City businessman; Harmony
Plantenga, Temple City resident; Gloria Villicana, Temple City resident; Jack Yiu, Temple

Council deliberation took place and staff responded to Council 's questions. In response
to complaints of excessive noise, City Attorney Vail stated one of the findings to be made
in approving the application is that it would have no adverse effect on neighboring
properties and for purposes of this application it refers to this specific use. But that use Is
fitting into the existing context at the site and Council will need to make that decision if
the existing noise would be compounded by this use and be considered an adverse
impact.
Council discussion continued , including issues regarding the Church 's present contract
users, the poss ible negative impacts they create on the neighborhood, and mitigation
measures that might be employed . Other issues involved site ingress and egress,
increased traffic, and property maintenance.
After further discussion, Council concurred that additional information was needed to
make a decision on this matter.
Councilmember Blum moved to direct staff to re-notice this item as a public hearing to be
scheduled for the City Council meeting of February 7, 2012, based on the testimony

B. PUBLIC HEARING: INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 11-951 -DOWNTOWN
SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT CONDITIONALLY PERMITTING DANCE AND
EXERCISE SCHOOLS/STUDIOS IN THE EAST COMMERCIAL (EC) DISTRICT OF
THE DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN
Associate Planner Gulick presented background information on this item , stating the
Downtown Specific Plan was originally approved in 1993 with only three land use
districts. At that time the East Commercial (EC) District consisted primarily of medical
offices as the Downtown Specific Plan was developed to encourage medical offices in
this district. In 2002, the Plan was significantly revised, with the creation of three new
districts. Although the EC District's boundaries were not modified, the EC District
received a new focus -•the development of medical and professional offices and related
s ervices, including eateries such as fast-food establishments. •
In 2009 , the Plan was again amended to permit and conditionally permit several uses in
the EC District due to the large number of vacancies in the area. On December 13,
2011, the Planning Commission approved (by a 3 to 1 vote) a draft resolution
recommending that the City Council adopt an ordinance that would amend the Downtown
Specific Plan Land Use Matrix to conditionally permit Dance and Exercise
Schools/Studios in the EC District.
In reviewing the Downtown Specific Plan Land Use Matrix , staff noted that the Dance and
Exercise Schools/Studios use is condit ionally permitted in the four other commercial
districts. This use would have no conflicts with the medical and dental professional
offices that account for the majority of the uses in the EC District, as Dance and Exercise
Schools/Studios typically operate in the evening and weekends, opposite from the
operating hours of the professional offices. Also, with only three existing Dance and
Exercise Schools/Studios in the City, it would also not create an influx of new dance and
exercise businesses. It was recommended that the Council conduct the public hearing,
adopt the Negative Declaration and introduce Ordinance No . 11-951 on first reading .

SUBJECT: Proposed Golden Apple Christian Academy-Preschool
BACKGROUND:
Attachment L
The proposed Golden Apple preschool will be located at 5537 Temple City Boulevard. The
preschool is requesting permission to have a maximum of sixty (60) preschool students ranging in
age between 2 and a half and 6 years old. The hours of operation will be weekdays from 6:30 am
to 6:00pm.
ANALYSIS:
Temple City Boulevard is a 4-lane major arterial roadway with 2-travellanes in each direction . On-
street parking is permitted along the east and west curb lines. Temple City Boulevard has an
average daily traffic volume of 18,860, 9,635 northbound and 9,226 southbound. Peak hour
volumes are approximately ten percent on the daily volume. The posted speed is 35 M.P.H. All
major intersections are signalized.
Parents will enter the Golden Apple preschool from the northerly (one-way) driveway proceed west
approximately 240 feet to the parking (50 spaces) and classroom area, where they can park and
escort their child to an attendant or to the classroom. They will then exit the site via the one-way
southerly driveway.
Assuming a worst case condition:
All sixty students will arrive and depart within a 1-hour period.
Only one student will arrive and leave per vehicle.
Fifty percent of the parents will arrive from the north and 50 percent will arrive from the
south.
CONCLUSION:
Assuming the above worst case conditions, the proposed Golden Apple preschool will not have a
significant impact on traffic or circulation.
