DCM/DeStefano presented staff's report. Staff recommends Planning Commission
approval of Development Review No. 2002-02, Findings of Fact, and conditions of
approval as listed within the resolution.
Chair/Ruzicka opened the Public Hearing.
Nancy Lyons, neighbor residing immediately downhill from the proposed
construction, wants assurance that the construction adheres to the CC&R's and
building code.
V.C. Dagam, architect, said his project follows all association CC&R's and building
codes.
DCM/DeStefano explained that the city does not enforce association CC&R's.
However, this project received approval from "The Country Estates" Homeowners
Association, the city's guiding principle that determines whether applicant's are in
concert with "The Country Estates."
Nancy Lyons, 22536 Ridgeline Road, said she asked about the CC&R's because

there have been prior incidents where building plans received association approval
and subsequently, plans were changed before they were approved by the city. If
something negatively impacts her property during construction of this project, is there
something that can be done.
DCM/DeStefano said it would depend on the circumstances. Most often these are
private party matters. If the circumstance was related to a condition of approval, it
would then be an issue for the city and Planning Commission to address. The city
requires that applicants provide licenses, insurance, etc. to support the issuance of a
building permit.
Ms. Lyons said she :is concerned because the project would be constructed over a
period of one year .and that debris may float down into her backyard area and
swimming pool. She: hoped that the construction foreman would take proper care to
ensure that debris would not float onto her property. She was also concerned that
grading would unearth rattlesnakes, gophers, ants, etc. that would invade her
property. She was pleased with the aesthetic qualities of the proposed project.

VC/Tye reported that the public hearing sign was not prominently posted at the site.
He would prefer that staff monitor these signs for better placement. He took
exception with the statement in staff's report that the sale of alcoholic beverages for
off-site consumption would serve a "public necessity." He felt this was an
inappropriate venue and was opposed to approving the CUP.
Chair/Ruzicka wanted to know why VC/Tye was concerned. Other dealers in the
area are selling alcoholic beverages for off-site consumption and this is a
convenience to the public.

The property owners, Steven Ung and Helen Lim, and applicant, Hung Chou, are
requesting approval of an Application to remodel and add approximately 1,882 square feet
to an existing 1,965 square feet single family residence including the three car garage.
The project's address is 511 Topside Place, Diamond Bar. The parcel is Lot 66 of
approved Tract Map No. 36813. The project site is approximately .18 gross acres. It is an
irregularly shaped pad at the end of a cul-de-sac with an existing two-story single family
residence.
The General Plan Land Use designation is Low Density Residential (RL), max. 3 du/acre.
The project site is zoned Single -Family Residence, R-1-8,000. Generally, the R-1-8,000
Zone surrounds the subject site.
REVIEW AUTHORITY
• Development Review
This application requires Development Review by the Planning Commission per the City's
Development Code, Section 22.48.020.A(1), which states that Development Review is
required for projects involving a building permit for reconstruction and additions to
structures which are equal to 50 percent or greater of the floor area of the existing
structures on the site. Therefore, the addition of 1,882 square feet to an existing 1,965
square feet structure is subject to the discretionary Development Review process.
The purpose of this review process is to establish consistency with the General Plan
through the promotion of high aesthetic and functional standards to complement and add
to the economic, physical, and social character of the City. The process will also ensure
that new development and intensification of existing development yields a pleasant living,
working, or shopping environment and attracts the interest of residents, workers, shoppers
and visitors as the result of consistent exemplary design. Also, to utilize the City's Design
Guidelines in conjunction with the City's Development Code to promote development that
respects the physical and environmental characteristics of the community and the site.
Minor Variance
This Application also requires a Minor Variance approval pursuant to the City's
Development Code, Section 22.52, to decrease the required side yard setback by 10
percent.
The purpose of a Minor Variance is to allow for adjustment from the development
standards of the Development Code. The adjustment may be granted when special
circumstances are applicable to the property (i.e. location, shape, size, surroundings,
topography, unreasonable regulations, other conditions, or the strict application of the
Development Code) denies the property owner privileges enjoyed by other property owners
in the vicinity and under identical zoning districts. The special circumstance must create
an unnecessary, and non -self created hardship that makes it obviously impractical to
require compliance with the development standards.
• Planning Commission Authority
Pursuant to Development Code Section 22.48.030, the highest level of authority shall
make concurrent processing; therefore, the Planning Commission shall hear both
applications.

ANALYSIS:
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
• Development Standards
The following is a comparison of the City's development standards and the project's
Proposed development standards:
City's Development Standards I Project's Development Standards
1. Setbacks (main structure):
• Front yard -20 feet from property line
• Side yards -5 feet & 10 feet minimum
from property line
• Rear yard -20' from property line
• Site Covera e -overall maximum 40%
2. Building Height:
• Maximum 35 feet
3. Parking:
Minimum two -car garage with each bay

1. Setbacks (main structure):
• Front yard- 20 feet from property line
• Side yards- 5 feet and 9+* feet from
property line
• Rear yard -32 feet from property line
Site Coverage -Approximately 29%
2. Building Height:
New roof scales at 23 feet on west with
existing chimney at 28 feet
3. Parking:
Existing two car garage 20'x21', adding one
Car garage 10.5I x2 1', plus
*The above analysis for the application indicates that the proposed driveway
reconstruction/remodel
meets Development Code Standards except for the decrease of one foot in the required
side yard setback. A request for a Minor Variance accompanies the application and is
discussed below. There are a total' of four bedrooms plus the potential of the den as a
bedroom, as well as the large sitting area. A third car garage has been added to the
remodel plus the large driveway. Staff anticipates adequate parking for this remodel.
• General Plan/Design Guidelines/Compatibility with Neighborhood
The General Plan has two strategies relating to compatibility within the Land Use Element:
I. Strategy 1.2.4, Maintain residential areas which provide ownership for single family
housing and require that new development be compatible with the prevailing character
of the surrounding neighborhood; and
2. Strategy 2.2.1, Requires that new developments be compatible with surrounding land
uses.
The City's Design Guidelines state that compatibility with adjacent uses is a primary
objective. Projects should be designed to minimize negative impacts on surrounding uses.
In this case, the proposed project is a single family residence adjacent to other single
3
family homes. In this case, staff has reviewed the size and scale of this project when
compared to the surrounding neighborhood. Though this product is larger than most of the
homes on Topside Place, its characteristics of three car garage and one to two story
architecture, as shown on the east elevation of the plans are consistent with the
surrounding homes. Staffs review deems that the Application is consistent with the
General Plan, Development Code Standards, and City's Design Guidelines.
Architectural Features and Colors
The proposed single family residence's contemporary architectural style is maintained and
includes new double door entry; stucco; brick accent; wood trim fascia and window trim;
and layering of materials and finishes via multi-levels of roof lines using roof tile to add
texture and contrast. The use of these materials provides variety and interest. The
proposed project's architectural trim and palette are compatible with the architectural style
of other homes within the tract. The Application design is consistent with the City's Design
Guidelines and Development Code.
• Floor Plans
The proposed single-family structure is currently a one to two story structure. The
reconstruction/remodel adds additional two story rooms to the rear and middle of the
structure enlarging some rooms and creating a very large master bedroom suite and open
sitting areas. The first floor has the existing two car garage and added garage for a total
three car garage, laundry and bath area, the enlarged living room, dining room, family
room, kitchen and new bedroom suite with bath and walk in closet. The second story has
the two existing bedrooms and bath, the new master bedroom suite with bath and walk in
closet, the large mezzanine sitting area that has a part open to the living room, and a new
den with access from the master suite and hall.
• Covenant and Agreement
As with many approvals, a condition of approval has been added that the owner is required
to complete and record a "Covenant and Agreement to Maintain a Single Family
Residence" on a form to be provided by the City. The covenant must be completed and
recorded with the Los Angeles County's Recorder's Office prior to the issuance of a
building permit.
SITE WORK
The subject reconstruction/remodel is on the existing pad. No grading or retaining walls are
anticipated. Should it be necessary to work more than 50 cubic yards of earth, the Public
Works Division will require a grading/drainage plan.
4
LANDSCAPING
Front yard landscaping is often destroyed during a remodel of this magnitude. Therefore,
a front yard landscape/irrigation plan is required as a condition of approval. The plan is
required to delineate the type of planting materials, color, size, quantity and location. The
landscaping/irrigation is required to be installed or replaced per the plan prior to the
Planning Division's final inspection or the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy.
Additionally, it is noted for the applicant that any walls, gates, fountains, etc. that may be
proposed within the front setback shall not encroach into the street's dedicated easement;
nor, shall any such structure or dense plant material proposed within the front setback
exceed a maximum height of 42 inches.
PRESERVED/PROTECTED TREES
Per Development Code 22.38.060(H), parcels of %Z acre or less are exempted from
Preserved and Protected Tree regulations. Therefore, the subject parcel at .18 acres is
exempt.
VIEW IMPACT
This is a one to two story home. The neighboring parcels are single-family residences and
by maintaining the height limits of the Development Code, the proposed remodel is not
considered an impact to the view corridor of surrounding properties.
MINOR VARIANCE
The Minor Variance request is to allow a reduction in the side setback of 10 percent. Most
of the homes on Topside Place were built with three car garages that would adequately
serve the proposed remodel. The Application currently has a two car garage. In order to
increase the size of the structure as proposed with the potential for five bedrooms, an
additional garage bay was recommended by staff. The setbacks of the existing structure
are 9+ feet on one side and 15 feet 6 inches on the other. These exceed the current City
Code requirements of 5 feet on one side and 10 feet on the other. However, the Applicant
requests a Minor Variance to decrease the side yard setback by one foot to accommodate
the new garage. The Application continues to have the required 15 feet between structures
on adjoining parcels.
The lack of the three car garage for the original product and the need of a third bay to
support the number of rooms is a special circumstances applicable to the property, so that
the strict application of this Development Code denies the property owner privileges
enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity and under identical zoning districts.

ADDITIONAL REVIEW
The Public Works Division and the Building and Safety Division reviewed this project. Their
comments are included in both the report and the conditions of approval.
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING:

notified by mail. On May 31, 2002, notification of the public hearing for this project was
made in the San Gabriel Vallev Tribune and Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspapers; and
a notice of public hearing on a display board was posted at the site and displayed for at
least 10 days before the public hearing. Three other sites were posted within the vicinity
of the application.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City has
determined that the proposed project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to the guidelines
of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA), Section 15301(e)(2).
RECOMMENDATIONS:

DRAFT
ATTACHMENT "1"
3. The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds and determines that,
having considered the record as a whole including the findings set forth
below, and changes and alterations which have been incorporated into and
conditioned upon the proposed project set forth in the Application, there is
no evidence before this Planning Commission that the project proposed
herein will have the potential of an adverse effect on wild life resources or the
habitat upon which the wildlife depends. Based upon substantial evidence,
this Planning Commission hereby rebuts the presumption of adverse effects
contained in Section 753.5 (d) of Title 14 of the California Code of
Regulations.
4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth herein, this Planning
Commission, hereby finds as follows:
(a) The project relates to a parcel at 511 Topside Place, Diamond Bar,
California. The parcel is Lot 66 of approved Tract Map No. 36813.
The project site is approximately .18 gross acres. It is an irregularly
shaped pad at the end of a cul-de-sac with an existing two-story
single family residence.
(b) The General Plan Land Use designation is Low Density Residential
(RL), max. 3 du/acre. The project site is zoned Single -Family
Residence, R-1-8,000.
(c) Generally, the R-1-8,000 Zone surrounds the subject site.
(d) The Application is a request to remodel and add approximately 1,882
square feet to an existing 1,965 square feet single family residence
including the three car garage.
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
(e) The design and layout of the proposed development are consistent
with the General Plan, development standards of the applicable
district, design guidelines, and architectural criteria for specialized
area (e.g., theme areas, specific plans, community plans, boulevards,
or planned developments.
The project site, currently developed with a one to two story single-
family residence, was established before the adoption of the City's
General Plan and current Development Code. The adopted General
Plan of July 25, 1995 has a land use designation of Low Density
Residential (RL) (max. 3 du/acre). The Application complies with the
City's General Plan objectives and strategies related to maintaining
the integrity of residential neighborhoods and open space, the current
2
DRAFT
ATTACHDiamond Bar Development Code, and with the City's Design
D sign
Guidelines. There is no specific plan.
The proposed project conforms to applicable provisions of the
Development Code, the site coverage is less than 40 percent, is
comparable with the existing neighborhood, and it meets the required
height limitations and does not encroach into the setbacks except with
the approval of attached Minor Variance.
This is a one to two story structure. The neighboring parcels are
single-family residences with a similar architecture. By maintaining the
height limits of the Development Code, the proposed remodel is not
considered an impact to the view corridor of surrounding properties.
(f) The design and layout of the proposed development will not interfere
with the use and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future
development, and will not create traffic or pedestrian hazards.
Armitos Place and Topside Place adequately serve the project site.
These streets are designed to handle minimum traffic created by
residential development.
The project site is currently developed with a one to two story single-
family residence. The proposed reconstruction/remodeling does not
change the existing use of a single-family residence. Although the
proposed addition enlarges the existing residence, it maintains the
one to two story architecture and meets the 35 feet height limitation
per the Development Code. Additionally, the Application has a height
consistent with surrounding properties. The structure is not expected
to unreasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring
existing or future development with regard to view or traffic.
(g) The architectural design of the proposed development is compatible
with the characteristics of the surrounding neighborhood and will
maintain and enhance the harmonious, orderly and attractive
development contemplated by Chapter 22.48, the General Plan, City
Design Guidelines, or any applicable specific plan.
The proposed single family residence's contemporary architectural
style is maintained and includes new double door entry; stucco; brick
accent, wood trim fascia and window trim; and layering of materials
and finishes via multi-levels of roof lines using roof the to add texture
and contrast. The use of these materials provides variety and interest.
The proposed project's architectural trim and palette are compatible
with 'the architectural style of other homes within the tract. The -
3
DRAFT
ATTACHMENT "1"
Application design is consistent with the City's Design Guidelines and
Development Code.
(h) 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, and color
that will remain aesthetically appealing.
The colors, materials, and textures proposed are the same as existing
and are complimentary to the existing homes within the area while
offering variety and low levels of maintenance.
(i) The proposed project will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety, or welfare or materially injurious (e.g., negative affect on
property values or resale(s) of property) to the properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
Structural plan check, City permits, and inspections; soils. report and
Fire Department approvals, are required for construction. These
processes will ensure that the finished project will not be detrimental
to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to the
properties or improvements in the vicinity. Additionally, a Covenant
and Agreement is required and runs with the land to maintain a single
family residence.
(j) The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The environmental evaluation shows that the proposed project is
categorically exempt pursuant to the guidelines of the California
o(2).frnia
Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA), Section 15301 e
MINOR VARIANCE
(k) There are special circumstances applicable to the property (e.g.
location, shape, size, surroundings, topography, or other conditions),
so that the strict application of this Development Code denies the
property owner privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the
vicinity and under identical zoning districts or creates an unnecessary
and non -self-created, hardship or unreasonable regulation which
make it obviously impractical to require compliance with the
development standards.
The Minor Variance request is to allow a reduction in the side setback
of 10 percent. Most of the homes on Topside Place were built with
4
DRAFT
three car garages that would adequately serve the proposedMENT remodel.
The Application currently has a two car garage. In order to increase
the size of the structure as proposed with the potential for five
bedrooms, an additional garage bay was recommended by staff. The
setbacks of the existing structure are 9+ feet on one side and 15 feet
6 inches on the other. These exceed the current City Code
requirements of 5 feet on one side and 10 feet on the other. However,
the Applicant requests a Minor Variance to decrease the side yard
setback by one foot to accommodate the new garage. The Application
continues to, have the required 15 feet between structures on
adjoining parcels.
The lack of the three car garage for the original product and the need
of a third bay to support the number of rooms is a special
circumstances applicable to the property, so that the strict application
of this Development Code denies the property owner privileges
enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity and under identical
zoning districts.
(I) Granting the Minor Variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of substantial property rights possessed by other property
owners in the same vicinity and zoning district and denied to the
Property owner for which the Minor Variance is sought.

zoning district and denied to the property owner for whom the Minor
Variance is sought.
(m) Granting the Minor Variance is consistent with the General Plan'and
any applicable specific plan.

Plan and there is no specific plan. The proposed single-family
residence complies with the applicable standards for the R-1-8,000
(Low Density Residential Development Standards (RL)) zoning district
and the decrease in the side yard setback that requires Minor
Variance approval. The increase of square footage is at the rear and
sides of the structure, and is consistent with the neighboring
properties with respect to design and materials.
(n) The proposed entitlement would not be detrimental to the public
interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the City.
Structural plan check, City permits, and inspections; soils report and
Fire Department approvals, are required for construction. These
processes will ensure that the finished project will not be detrimental
to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to the
properties or improvements in the vicinity. Additionally, a Covenant

ANALYSIS:
• Proposed Zoning to Consider.
➢ Community Commercial Zoning District (C-2) — for the area that includes Diamond
Bar Village Shopping Center along Golden Springs Drive.
0 C-2 zoning district is applied to areas appropriate for a wide range of retail
shopping and service uses, primarily intended to serve the needs of the
Diamond Bar residents.
0 Development Code Table 2-6 (see attachments) lists land uses allowed in this
zone.
0 This zone is less restrictive. It allows the same land uses as designated
within the C-1 zone with the addition of health/fitness facilities, indoor
amusement/entertainment facilities, theaters, clubs, lodges and private
meeting halls, auto parts sales and plant nurseries and garden supply
stores, and maintenance and minor repairs of vehicles, ambulance
services, grocery stores, shopping centers, public and private schools,
and small-scale recycling facilities.
➢ Regional Commercial Zoning District (C-3) — for the area that includes the K -Mart
Shopping Center on Diamond Bar Boulevard to the Pomona Freeway.
0 C-3 zoning district is applied to areas appropriate for large-scale commercial
uses serving residents and businesses within the region.
0 Development Code Table 2-6 (see attachments) lists land uses allowed in this
zone.
0 This zone is less restrictive than the C-2 and allows for a wide range of
land uses due to its large-scale regional description.
0 This zone allows for all uses describe in C-1 and C-2 plus
community/cultural centers, indoor auto sales, building materials stores,
certified farmers markets, mobile home and recreational vehicle sales,
shopping centers, car washes, psychic readers, storage -indoor and
outdoor, and major vehicle repair and bodywork, and a veterinarian
clinics and animal hospitals.
3
• Consider Existing Uses within the Subject Area and Compare with Uses Allowed in the C-2 and
C-3 Zones.
➢ Most existing uses conform to the allowed uses within the C-2 and C-3 zones.
➢ Most existing legal nonconforming uses will become conforming except for
veterinarian hospital and Diamond Bar Washer Repair.
Consider What Zoning Designation Would be Appropriate For the Subject Area.
➢ Staff is recommending:
0 C- 2 Zoning District for the area that includes the Diamond Bar Village
Shopping Center on Golden Springs Drive.
0 C-3 Zoning District for the area that includes the K -Mart Shopping Center on
Diamond Bar Boulevard to the Pomona Freeway and existing commercial area
on Gentle Springs Lane.
• Consider Existing Uses within Commercial Areas Across the Street and Surrounding the Subject
Properties.
➢ C-2 and C-3 zones is compatible with the commercial areas across the street from
the subject properties.
➢ C-2 and C-3 zones will legalize most legal nonconforming uses and permit ePC
(computer network gaming center) with the processing of a Conditional Use Permit.
➢ C-2 and C-3 zones is compatible with the other surrounding uses because the uses
within the C-2 and C-3 zones are intended to serve the needs of the Diamond Bar
residents and surrounding area. Additionally, the C-2 zoning designation is not a
significant enough change from existing uses to disrupt the residential condo use
located behind the subject properties.
C-2 and C-3 zones with its addition of a few more land uses will assist in generating
sales tax dollars to further the City's economic goals. Additionally, C-3 zoning will
allow warehouse retail sales, building materials stores and auto sales with a
Conditional Use Permit which is appropriate located adjacent to the freeway so that
Diamond Bar can capture its fair share of sales tax revenue that is now captured by
other cities.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 15162
and 15168 (c)(2) and guidelines promulgated thereunder, the City has determined that the Zone
Change No. 2002-01 is consistent with the previously certified General Plan Program
Environmental Impact Report and Addendum certified July 25, 1995. Therefore, further
environmental review is not required because pursuant to Section 15162, no new effects will
occur and no new mitigation measures would be required and the proposed zone change is
found to be within the scope of the General Plan Program EIR.
