of the City of Diamond Bar as follows:
1. The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth
in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct; and
2. The Planning Commission hereby determines the Project to be Categorically
Exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to the provisions of Article 19, Section 15301 (e) (additions to existing
structures) of the CEQA Guidelines. Therefore, no further environmental review
is required.
C. FINDINGS OF FACT
Based on the findings and conclusions set forth herein and as prescribed under
Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Sections 22.48, 22.56, and 22.68 this Planning
Commission hereby finds as follows:
Development Review Findings (DBMC Section 22 48.040)
1. The design and layout of the proposed development is consistent with the
applicable elements of the City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines, and
development standards of the applicable district, design guidelines, and
architectural criteria for special areas (e.g., theme areas, specific plans,
community plans, boulevards or planned developments).
The design and layout of the proposed one-story addition consisting of 1,000
square feet of floor area to an existing single family residence is consistent with
the City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines and development standards by
complying with all required setbacks, with the exception to an existing
nonconforming distance to the structure on the adjacent lot to the east of 10'-3",
where 15 feet is required. The addition is located at the rear of the existing house.
The project site is not part of any theme area, specific plan, community plan,
boulevard or planned development.
2. The design and layout of the proposed development will not interfere with the use
and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future developments, and will not create
traffic or pedestrian hazards.
2 PC Resolution No. PL2017-04
The proposed addition will not interfere with the use and enjoyment of
neighboring existing or future developments because the use of the project site
is designed for a single-family home and the surrounding uses are also single-
family homes. The addition is proposed at the rear of the house and does not
further encroach into the nonconforming distance to the structure on the adjacent
lot to the east of 10'-3".
The proposed addition will not interfere with vehicular or pedestrian movements,
such as access or other functional requirements of a single-family home because
it complies with the requirements for driveway widths and is a continuation of an
existing use.
3. The architectural design of the proposed development is compatible with the
character of the surrounding neighborhood and will maintain and enhance the
harmonious, orderly and attractive development contemplated by Chapter 22.48:
Development Review Standards, the City's Design Guidelines, the City's General
Plan, or any applicable specific plan.
The existing architecture is a 1960s tract design with stucco, stone veneer along
the front elevation, and asphalt roof shingles on a Dutch -gabled roof. The
addition is located at the rear of the house. The addition will match the existing
home in color and building materials, such as stucco and stone veneer.
Therefore, the addition will be visually integrated into the existing home and not
negatively impact the look and character of the neighborhood.
4. The design of the proposed development will provide a desirable environment for
its occupants and visiting public as well as its neighbors through good aesthetic
use of materials, texture, color, and will remain aesthetically appealing.
The existing architecture is a 1960s tract design with stucco, stone veneer along
the front elevation, and asphalt roof shingles on a Dutch -gabled roof. The
applicant is retaining the existing building form. Therefore, the addition will be
visually integrated into the existing home and not negatively impact the look and
character of the neighborhood.
5. The proposed development will not be detrimental to public health, safety or
welfare or materially injurious (e.g., negative effect on property values or
resale(s) of property) to the properties or improvements in the vicinity.
Before the issuance of any City permits, the proposed project is required to
comply with all conditions within the approved resolution, and the Building and
Safety Division and Public Works Departments requirements.
Through the permit and inspection process, the referenced agencies will ensure
that the proposed project is not detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare
or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity.
6. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
3 PC Resolution No. PL2017-04
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as set forth under Article 19 Section 15301 (e)
(additions to existing structures) of the CEQA guidelines.
Minor Conditional Use Permit Findings (DBMC Section 22.56.040)
1. The proposed use is allowed within the subject zoning district with the approval
of a Minor Conditional Use Permit and complies with all other applicable
provisions of this Development Code and the Municipal Code.
The existing single-family dwelling is a permitted use in the RLM zone. A Minor
Conditional Use Permit (MCUP) is requested to allow an addition over 50 percent
of the existing square -footage to a nonconforming structure with a preexisting
nonconforming distance of 10'-3" to the structure on the adjacent lot to the east
(where 15 feet is required).
The preexisting substandard distance to the structure on the adjacent property to
the east renders the project nonconforming. The addition of a nonconforming
structure requires approval of a Minor Conditional Use Permit because the
addition is greater than 50 percent of the existing home. The proposed addition
consisting of 1,000 square feet of floor area to an existing one-story home
complies with the development standards of the RLM zone and will not further
encroach into the nonconforming distance to the structure on the adjacent lot to
the east.
2. The proposed use is consistent with the general plan and any applicable specific
plan.
The proposed addition to a single-family dwelling unit is consistent with the City's
adopted General Plan. The site is not subject to the provisions of any specific
plan.
3. The design, location, size and operating characteristics of the proposed use are
compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity.
The existing single-family dwelling and the proposed addition consisting of
1,000 square feet of floor area will not further encroach into the existing
nonconforming distance of 10'-3" to the structure on the adjacent lot to the east.
The proposed one-story addition is located at rear of the house. The design of
the existing single-family dwelling and the proposed addition are compatible with
the character of the existing homes in the neighborhood because the applicant is
proposing to retain the existing building form, Therefore, the addition will be
visually integrated into the existing home and not negatively impact the look and
character of the neighborhood.
4. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and density/intensity of use
being proposed including access, provision of utilities, compatibility with adjoining
land uses, and the absence of physical constraints.
4 PC Resolution No. PL2017-04
The subject site is physically suitable for the existing single-family residential
dwelling and the proposed addition. The existing and proposed use of land is
consistent with the surrounding land uses. The proposed addition of floor area is
consistent with the development standards for the RLM zone and will not further
encroach into the existing nonconforming nonconforming distance to the
structure on the adjacent lot to the east.
5. Granting the Minor Conditional Use Permit will not be detrimental to the public
interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare, or materially injurious to persons,
property or improvements in the vicinity and zoning district in which the property
is located.
The granting of the Minor Conditional Use Permit will allow the addition of the
existing single-family dwelling unit in a manner similar with existing dwelling units
located in the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed expansion of the
dwelling unit will not negatively impact the public interest, health, safety
convenience or welfare.
6. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as set forth under Article 19 Section 15301
(e) (additions to existing structure) of the CEQA Guidelines.
Non Conforming Structures Findings (DBMC Section 22 68.030)
The addition, enlargement, extension, reconstruction, relocation or structural alteration of the
nonconforming structure would not result in the structure becoming:
1. Incompatible with other structures in the neighborhood.
The proposed one-story addition of floor area is consistent with the development
standards for the RLM zone. The existing single-family dwelling and the
proposed addition consisting of 1,000 square feet of floor area will comply with
current development standards and not further encroach into the existing
nonconforming distance of 10'-3" to the structure on the adjacent lot to the east.
The proposed project is located at the rear of the existing home. The existing and
proposed land use is consistent with the surrounding land uses and structures in
the neighborhood. Additionally, the neighboring properties also have
nonconforming setbacks, so the proposed project will remain consistent with
other homes within the neighborhood.
2. Inconsistent with the general plan or any applicable specific plan.
The proposed addition to a single-family dwelling unit is consistent with the City's
adopted General Plan. The site is not subject to the provisions of any specific
plan.
5 PC Resolution No. PL2017-04
3. A restriction to the eventual/future compliance with the applicable regulations of
this Development Code.
The existing and proposed land use is consistent with the surrounding land uses
with similar side setbacks. The proposed addition of floor area is consistent with
the development standards for the RLM zone and will not encroach into the
existing nonconforming distance to the structure on the adjacent lot to the east.
4. Detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of persons residing in the
neighborhood.
Before the issuance of any City permits, the proposed project is required to
comply with all conditions within the approved resolution, and the Building and
Safety Division and Public Works/Engineering Departments requirements.
Through the permit and inspection process, the referenced agencies will ensure
that the proposed project is not detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare
or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity.
5. Detrimental and/or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood.
The addition to the existing single-family dwelling unit will be constructed in a
manner similar with existing dwelling units located in the surrounding community
and will not be detrimental and/or injurious to property and improvements in the
neighborhood.
Based upon the findings and conclusion set forth above, the Planning Commission hereby
approves this Application, subject to the following conditions:
1. Development shall substantially comply with the plans and documents presented to the
Planning Commission at the public hearing.
2. The building colors and materials of the new detached patio cover shall match the
existing home.
3. Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant shall record, and provide the City with
a conformed recorded copy of, a Covenant and Agreement or similar document in a
form approved by the City Attorney, which restricts the rental of rooms or other portions
of the property under two or more separate agreements and prohibits use of the property
as a boarding or rooming house, except to the extent otherwise permitted by the
Diamond Bar Municipal Code or applicable state or federal law.
4. Standard Conditions. The applicant shall comply with the standard development
conditions attached hereto.
