FACTS:
On August 8, 2012, Don lkeler, c/o Chick-fil-A, ("the applicant") filed an application with
the Department of Community Development for Conditional Use Permit 12-19 to allow
a fast food restaurant with a drive-through facility at 12101 Seal Beach Boulevard.
The subject property has been vacant and undeveloped since 2006, when the
previous structures on the property were demolished as part of the renovation of The
Shops at Rossmoor.
A Conditional Use Permit (CUP 07-9) was previously approved for the premises in
September 2007 for a retail bank with a drive-up teller window (Farmers and
Merchants Bank). This approval was never exercised, as the bank was never
constructed, and the approval ultimately expired.
A community meeting was held by the project proponents on September 26, 2012 at
Fire Station #48. The purpose of the meeting was to introduce the project to
neighborhood residents and to obtain feedback on the proposal. Notices for the
meeting were mailed to all residents within a 500' radius of the subject property. A
total of four residents attended the meeting and asked questions about the project.
As of January 9, 2013, planning staff has received two emails (attached) in response
to the hearing notices that were mailed out and published for the public hearing on
January 16, 2013.
ANALYSIS:
The Chick-fil-A parcel is approximately 21,000 square feet in area and is located south of
Bradbury Road; south of the existing 76 gasoline station; and west of Seal Beach
Boulevard. The site is identified as Orange County Assessor Parcel No. 086-491-71 and
represents one of multiple parcels within the Shops at Rossmoor. More than half of the
subject parcel is currently vacant and the remaining portion of site facing Seal Beach
Boulevard is improved with an estimated 23 parking spaces.
The proposed project includes the development of a 4,524 square foot Chick-fil-A eating
establishment with dual drive through lanes for placing orders. According to Table
11.4.20.015A.1 of the Seal Beach Municipal Code entitled "Required Parking", 23 parking
spaces are required for the proposed use and based on staff calculations of available
parking within the center, when analyzed at a ratio of 5 parking spaces per 1000 sq. ft.
gross floor area (GFA), there is adequate parking within the center to service the proposed
use. The shopping center also operates under a reciprocal parking agreement between the
various parcels within the center to provide mutual access to additional spaces throughout
the center, if necessary.

The building will be configured with the front and secondary entrances facing the parking
lot and Seal Beach Boulevard. The average height of the building is 22 feet high with
architectural projections such as a decorative tower element extending to the height of 27
feet which complies with the maximum building height of 35 feet in the G-C zone. The
building exterior elevations will include variations in roof line accented with a cornice trim,
stuccoed walls and stone veneer. The interior floor plan is designed with a 1,470 square
foot dining area and a 200 square foot children play area.
Traffic Analysis
Since the proposed project includes a drive through facility, the applicant was required to
submit a focused traffic impact analysis to ensure that the drive through lanes extended far
enough to accommodate the peak hour demand for service and that the vehicular access
points and internal circulation continue to function accordingly. Linscott, Law and
Greenspan prepared the traffic analysis and submitted the document on November 27,
2012.
As described in the Study, primary access to the project site will be provided via two
existing drive approaches along Seal Beach Boulevard. The first drive approach is an
unsignalized right-turn in/right turn out located immediately south of the parcel and the
second drive approach is an existing full access unsignalized driveway located
approximately 275 feet south along Seal Beach Boulevard..
According to the traffic analysis, on site vehicular and truck circulation is adequate to
accommodate the project. However, as noted in the Study, to avoid impacting circulation
paths during peak hour time frames, truck deliveries should not occur earlier than 7:00 a.m.
The Chick fil-A building is designed with a dual drive through lane facility which provides
vehicle stacking up to 15 cars. According to the traffic analysis, the drive through design is
adequate to accommodate the projected queues during the peak hours. The study does
recommend, as a condition to minimize internal congestion and maintain on-site circulation,
that a Chick-fil-A deploy an employee with an electronic order board to service the drive-
through queue to help with the order process during periods of high demand.
Noise Stud
Occasionally projects are required to submit noise studies when located within close
proximity to sensitive receptors which in this case is the residential development to the
west of the subject site. Under these circumstances, a noise study was warranted since a
drive through service is offered with an outdoor intercom system and the business will be
open during the evening hours. The analysis will take into consideration a 7 foot high
concrete masonry block wall erected at the westerly property line separating the two
properties. In addition, Chick-fil-A uses an intercom system manufactured by HME that
has automatic volume control reduction. The HME SPP2 intercom system is equipped with
an automatic volume control system that automatically reduce the sound level produced by
the intercom as business hours reach later in the evening.

According to the noise study prepared by Eilar Associates, Inc. and submitted to the City
on June 20, 2012 the business hours of operation are from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Monday through Saturday and closed on Sunday. The noise regulations applicable to this
project are contained within the City of Seal Beach Municipal Code Section 7.15.
Residential properties have noise limits of 55 dBA between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and
10:00 p.m. and 50 dBA between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. These levels are
not to be exceeded for more than 30 minutes in an hour time frame. Commercial properties
have a noise level of 65 dBA for all hours.
On Monday, October 31, 2011 at 4:00 p.m. a noise study was conducted and a sound level
meter was installed at the southeast corner of the proposed site about 110 feet west of the
Seal Beach Boulevard street centerline. The noise measurement registered 64.3 dBA from
the street level to the back of the subject site. The Noise study also analyzed a worst case
scenario with the primary sources of project generated noise such as vehicles in the
parking lot, drive through lane, and intercom use.
The study concluded that projected noise levels from the project is expected to comply with
the City of Seal Beach night time noise regulations at the nearest property line which is
measured at 46.9 dBA. Noise levels from operations at the proposed Chick-fil-A restaurant,
including vehicle traffic noise, drive-through intercom noise and roof-mounted mechanical
equipment noise, are expected to comply with all City of Seal Beach noise regulations with
the maximum amount of anticipated activity in the drive through (PM peak hour).
Staff believes that, based on the conclusions of both the traffic and noise analyses, as well
as the conclusions of the City's Planning and Public Works departments, that the proposed
project, as conditioned, should not create any significant operational impacts to the
commercial center or the surrounding neighborhood.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION SUBMITTED
BY THE APPLICANT
XR%'r.aW_'
Project Description
Southwest Corner of Seal Beach Blvd. and Bradbury Rd.
Seal Beach CA 90740
Chick-fil-A is proposing to construct a 4,524 sq. ft. restaurant with drive through.
No outdoor dining is proposed.
The site is located in the General Commercial (GC) zone. The project is located
within the Shops at Rossmoor.
The applicant is proposing to develop a vacant pad at the east end of the Center.
The development will include the construction of a new restaurant with drive
through and related site improvements.
Chick-fil-A is seeking approval of a Conditional Use Permit for a new restaurant
with drive-through and associated site improvements.
The drive through has been designed to create minimal impact to Chick-fil-A
customers as well as the surrounding shopping center. The double drive through
allows cars to queue on site, which will minimize if not eliminate any backup into
the adjacent drive aisle. The drive through also includes two order boards that
assist in moving cars through the drive through quickly.
Chick-fil-A is sensitive to the neighboring residences on the north side of the
property. Menu boards are located on the east side of the building to minimize
noise impact to the adjacent neighbors. The speaker boxes feature automatic
volume control to further mitigate noise impact. Additional landscaping is
proposed between the drive through lane and the adjacent residential as an
additional sound buffer.
The site provides 21 parking spaces; 45 spaces are required. A reciprocal
parking agreement is in place for the Shopping Center.
The proposed building design is consistent with the surrounding center. Muted
earth tones and stone accents are featured on the building in keeping with the
Shopping Center design guidelines. Tower features and aluminum awnings add
varied articulation to the building.
New landscape is proposed in accordance with the City Design Review
Guidelines and Zoning Code. Due to the site configuration changes some
existing trees will be removed and replaced. Wherever possible existing trees
have been maintained in place. A separate Tree Permit application will be filed.
For further information regarding Chick-fil-A and their business operations please
see the attached Operations statement.

Subject: Objection to Chick Fit A Shops atRossnnuor
Today, the 14th, we received a letter backdated to September 6regarding Chick Fit A being built next to the gas station
at the Shops atRossmoo/. VVe are owners at]34Z Bradbury Road in the Rossm000rTownhouses. VVe live behind the
proposed site for the new store. We object to it being built adjacent to the 76 gas station. That location is too close to
theRossmoorToxxnhouses. Residents will suffer extra pollution from the cars waiting in the drive through, will have to
hear the loudspeaker from the drive through while in and around their own homes, and will have to live with the
constant smell of cooking chicken. |t should not be permitted so close toresidences. The intersection of Seal Beach
Boulevard and Bradbury is already congested, and this would only add to traffic back up. VVe oppose this project.

Subject: Chick-fil-A Use Permit
Jerry, do appreciate your taking mycall yesterday to discuss the above. With all do respect to the Seal Beach board,
pretty difficult to believe that anything the public might have to say about opposing this eventuality seems extremely
In my opinion nothing the board may have requested of Chick-fil-A as to their response in mitigating any potentia I traffic
problem will NOT mitigate any traffic problems. As businesses have been added to Shops at Rossmoor, traffic congestion
has increased exponentially; and the same will certainly be true of the situation that will develop in the Bradbury/Seal
Beach Blvd intersection/area if Chick-fil-A goes in as planned...
... and the saddest issue of all is the fact that I have NEVER in my twelve years living across the street from the
development of the Old Ranch/Shops at Roosmoor complexes EVER had any number of fellow residence believe
anything other that Seal Beach development could care less about any inconveniencing issues because likely ninety-five
percent of Real Beach residents live below the 405 freeway, one or two or three miles away, and are not impacted by
the problems mna daily basis.
It may sound like sour grapes, but innr/ opinion ... and as| mentioned yesterday, standing upbo oppose another business
would be like banging one's head against the wall ever thinking that Seal Beach ever listens, and proceed as they wish
because 'increased revenues'for your city is the underlying motivator and first and foremost, irrespective of how it
impacts immediately surrounding residents NOT in the city of Seal Beach.
Respectfully,
Ken Dobson
