(b) The facility will not likely cause a cumulative significant negative impact on the neighborhood, with respect to concentration and spacing, traffic, parking, and noise control.

(c) The facility must be licensed by the State of California Department of Social Services (CDSS).

(d) The rear yard must be enclosed with a fence which meets the criteria of CDSS for such uses.

(e) A minimum separation of 300 feet between large day-care homes is required.

(f) A minimum of two off-street parking spaces, plus one additional space per employee, must be provided.

(g) The facility operator must be a resident of the home.

(h) The requirements of the State Fire Marshal, as published in Title 24 of the California Administrative Code (for large family day-care homes) shall apply.

The secretary may impose any conditions that are reasonable and necessary to preserve the integrity and character of the neighborhood, and to secure the general purposes of the County Zoning Ordinance.
