CUP No. 2025-10 – Footlab Orange County (400 W. Warner Avenue) <br />April 28, 2025 <br />Page 9 of 11 <br />4 <br />9 <br />7 <br />7 <br />operational hours are expected to begin in the late afternoon and extend into the evening, <br />thereby avoiding conflict with school hours and minimizing potential impacts on residential <br />quality of life. <br />The outdoor field uses are designed to be located furthest away from the sensitive <br />receptors, approximately between 400 to 600 feet to the north and northwest. Moreover, <br />they would be located on the south and southeast side of the existing building, further <br />buffering the residential and school uses. Although the hours of operations are proposed <br />between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., the peak hours would occur in the late afternoon and <br />evening, allowing the facility to operate without interfering with school activities or peak <br />industrial operating hours in the surrounding area. In addition, this flex scheduling strategy <br />reduces overlap with nearby industrial traffic and supports a balanced use of the site. To <br />address lighting concerns, staff is recommending a condition of approval requiring that all <br />outdoor field lights utilize full-cutoff, shielded LED fixtures designed to minimize glare and <br />eliminate upward or off-site light spill. A photometric study has been provided to <br />demonstrate compliance with City standards and to ensure that no measurable lighting <br />impact extends across Warner Avenue to residential or school uses (Exhibit 7). <br />Regarding noise, staff is recommending a condition of approval requiring that outdoor <br />activities be limited to recreational gameplay and non-amplified announcements, with no <br />use of loudspeakers or sound systems after 9:00 p.m. on weekdays and 10:00 p.m. on <br />weekends. Vehicle access and parking are proposed along the north and east side of the <br />property. However, the proposed landscaped buffers along the northern property edge <br />would buffer the residential and school uses and mitigate any sound transmission. Given <br />that Footlab’s busiest hours will occur after traditional business hours of the surrounding <br />industrial users, the facility is expected to complement rather than conflict with nearby <br />land uses. With the operational safeguards, design features, and conditions of approval <br />in place, the project is not anticipated to result in significant impacts to public health, <br />safety, or general welfare, and remains compatible with the surrounding context, including <br />residential areas and Esqueda Elementary School. <br />A California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Class 32 Categorical Exemption <br />memorandum was prepared by T&B Planning, the applicant’s environmental consultant. <br />The purpose of the memorandum was to determine if the project would result in any <br />significant environmental impacts and whether the project met the conditions of a Class <br />32 exemption. This memorandum was reviewed by City staff. Upon review, it was <br />determined that the project would not result in any significant environmental impacts <br />related to traffic, air quality and greenhouse gas emissions, and noise. <br />General Plan Consistency <br />Approval of the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan land use designation <br />of Industrial (IND), which allows for a broad range of employment, light manufacturing, <br />and commercial-supportive uses. Footlab would introduce a compatible, community- <br />serving amenity within a primarily industrial corridor, while also providing opportunities for <br />
