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 15303(a) (construction of a new
single-family residence) 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 and 22.38, 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 single-family residence consisting of
8,676 square -foot single-family residence with 665 square feet of garage area
and 603 square feet of patio/deck/balcony area is consistent with the City's
General Plan, Design Guidelines and development standards. A gradual
transition between the project and adjacent uses is achieved through
appropriate setbacks, building height, landscaping, and window and door
placement.
The proposed new single-family residence incorporates various details and
architectural elements such as a mansard roof,- composite dark slate roofing
material; arched dormers, stone pilasters; arched entry; tall vertical windows;
sand float textured stucco finish; stone veneer; metal railing; and appropriate
massing and proportion to meet the intent of the City's Design Guidelines.
2 PC RESOLUTION NO. 2017-27
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;
The proposed single-family house 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 proposed single-family house 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
exceeds the minimum number of required off-street parking spaces.
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 proposed house is comparable in mass and scale to existing homes on
similar lots in The Country. The architecture in The Country is eclectic, and
includes a variety of architectural designs. In addition, the house will appear as
a two-story home from the street, but the rear of the building steps down to three
levels. The scale and proportions of the proposed home are well balanced and
appropriate for the site. In sum, the proposed project fits the character of the
neighborhood on which it is proposed.
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 architectural style of the home is described as "French Country" with
elements such as a mansard roof clad with a composite dark slate blend with
arched dormers, stone pilasters that frame the arched entry, tall vertical
windows, light cream colored sand float textured stucco finish, stone veneer,
dark bronze colored window and door frames, and dark brown metal railing with
a "mesh " grillwork. Outdoor decks and covered balconies break up the massing
with dormers framing the horizontal slate roof. The new home will not be
intrusive to neighboring homes and will be aesthetically appealing by integrating
a variety of materials. Earth -tone shades for the exterior finish are used to
soften the building's visual impact and assist in preserving the hillside's
aesthetic value. Also, landscaping is integrated into the site to complement the
massing of the house and blend in with neighboring homes and the natural
environment of the site in order to maintain a desirable environment. The scale
3 PC RESOLUTION N0. 2017-27
and proportions of the proposed home are well balanced and appropriate for
the site.
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; and
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).
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as set forth under Article 19
Section 15303(a) (construction of a new single-family residence) of the CEQA
Guidelines.
Based upon the findings and conclusion set forth above, the Planning Commission hereby
approves this Application, subject to the following conditions:

presented to the Planning Commission at the public hearing.
