B. RESOLUTION.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is found, determined and resolved by the City
Council of the City of Diamond Bar as follows:
1. The City Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth
in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.
2. The City Council finds that the initial study prepared for the project
identified above in this Resolution concluded that an Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) No. 2005-01, (SCH No. 2005111118) be
prepared. An EIR has been prepared according tothe requirements of
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and guidelines
promulgated thereunder. On December 19, 2006, the City Council
2
CC -CUP
2007--19
reviewed the EIR and adopted Resolution No. 2006-78 certifying the
EIR as complete and adequate after conducting and concluding a
duly noticed public hearing. On December 20, 2006, the City filed a
Notice of Determination with the Los Angeles County Clerk's office
pursuant to Section 15094 of the CEQA Guidelines.
3. Following the certification of the EIR, in response to comments
received during the public hearings of January 16, February 6 and
February 20, 2007, the Council caused the Applicant to prepare a
Traffic Impact Analysis Addendum (Traffic Addendum). The Traffic
Addendum included additional traffic counts on selected street
segments and intersections with South Pointe Middle School in
session, studied the results of different limitations on vehicular use
(exit only, entry only and emergency only) of the secondary gate at
Morning Sun Avenue and Shepherd Hills Road, and considered the
pedestrian safety issues with respect to the residential streets in the
unincorporated area of Los Angeles County located near to the
project's secondary Morning Sun Avenue gate.
4. At the continued public hearing March 6, 2007, the Council reviewed
the Traffic Addendum report dated February 22, 2007. The Council
finds that the traffic volume expected to be generated bythe Project is
within the City adopted Traffic Impact Analysis Guidelines and that
after construction of the Project the streets will continue to operate at
an acceptable Level of Service. Furthermore, the Council finds that
the Traffic Addendum concludes that there is no impact to pedestrian
safety as a result of the traffic generated by the proposed project. The
City's independent consultant has reviewed the Traffic Addendum and
determined that it is complete and accurate.
5. The Council finds that certified EIR (which includes the previous
Traffic Impact Analysis dated June 23, 2006) together with the Traffic
Addendum dated February 22, 2007 are a complete and accurate
assessment of traffic impacts from the Project. Further, the Council
finds that the additional data analyzed in the Traffic Addendum did not
result in the introduction of any new significant impact that has not
been previously disclosed in the FEIR. The Council determines that
according to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 none of the criteria
exists requiring a supplemental or subsequent EIR.
6. The Council has reviewed the Addendum to the Certified EIR and
determined that the Addendum complies with Section 15164 of the
CEQA Guidelines.
7. The City Council hereby specifically finds and determines that, having
considered the record as a whole including the findings set forth
Q
CC -CUP
2007--i9
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 City Council 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 City Council hereby rebuts the
presumption of adverse effects contained in Section 753.5 (d) of Title
14 of the California Code of Regulations.
8. Based on the findings and conclusions set forth herein, this City
Council hereby finds as follows:
(a) The project is to develop vacant land comprised of
approximately 34.52 acres generally located south of
Larkstone Drive, east of Morning Sun Avenue, and west of
Brea Canyon Road (Assessors Parcel Numbers 8765-005-01,
8765-005-02, 8765-005-03, 8765-005-07, and portions of
8765-005-905, 8763-026-907, and 8763-026-901) with 99
single-family condominiums and a public park.
(b) The current General Plan land use designations for the site
include PA-4/SP (Planning Area-4/Specific Plan), School and
RL (Low -Density Residential). General Plan Amendment No.
2005-01 being consider concurrently with this applicant
proposes to revise the General Plan Land Use Element text to
remove a deed restriction limiting the numbers of residences
on the site and to change the land use designation for the
entire Specific Plan area to PA-4/SP and the neighborhood
park site to Park. With approval of the General Plan
Amendment, the Application will be consistent with the General
Plan land use designation.
(c) The project site is within the R-1-15000 (Single Family
Residence -Minimum Lot Size 15,000 Square Feet) and RPD -
10000 (Residential Planned Development with 10,000 -square -
foot lot size) Zones. Zone Change No.2006-03 is being
reviewed concurrently with the Application that requests that
the City Council approve the zone change from the current
zoning to Specific Plan for General Plan compliance.
(d) Generally the project site is surrounded by existing single-
family homes on the north, south and west. The South Pointe
Middle School is located just to the northeast of the project
site. Vacant land is borders the site on the east. -

Conditional Use Permit/Hillside Management
The City Council shall evaluate a Conditional Use Permit for hillside
development based on the following objectives and required findings:
(e) The preservation of natural topographic features and
appearances by means of landform grading so as to blend
man-made or manufactured slopes into the natural
topography.
The proposed project involves the development of the site with
99 detached residential condominiums, 15.93 acres of open
space, and a 4.68 -acre neighborhood park. The project site
has received extensive remedial grading due to a landslide
that occurred on the site in 1995. Therefore, much of the
natural topographic features have been changed with the
terraced slopes and concrete ditches to channel water.
However, the project includes extensive grading of the site to
create 99 residential building pads and a system of private
streets on the site. The grading plan shows some areas where
the site will be graded to blend with the existing topography.
However, much of the site does not receive landform grading
due to the proposed clustering of the buildings in certain areas
of the site. Buildings pads are located within the portions of the
site where the existing topography is the flattest and more
steeply sloped areas will be preserved as natural open space.
Clustering of the residential units is within the flatter areas of
the site to preserve additional open space. Proposed grading
activities seek to apply contour grading to create more
naturalized engineered slope areas to the extent possible.
Therefore, the project is substantially consistent with this
finding.
(f) The preservation of natural features and appearances through
restrictions on successive padding and terracing of building
sites.
The proposed project clusters development within the flatter
areas of the site to preserve additional open space. This
requires smaller pads to accommodate 99 residential units
and, therefore results in preservation of additional open space
areas that would not be achieved with a conventional single-
family development. In addition, the 1995 landslide and
subsequent remedial grading of the site resulted in disturbance
of a large portion of the natural topography of the site.
5
CC -CUP
2007-19
Therefore, the project is consistent with this objective.
(g) The retention of major natural topographic features, drainage
courses, steep slopes, watershed areas, vernal pools, view
corridors, and scenic vistas.
The EIR has been prepared for the proposed project and has
analyzed visual impacts, scenic resources, drainage courses,
watershed areas, steep slopes and vernal pools. Although the
project site is currently undeveloped vacant land, it does not
contain any unique aesthetic features or scenic resources.
Topographic features and slopes have been addressed above
in Finding (t) and with mitigation measures from the Mitigation
Monitoring Program that will be incorporated into the proposed
project, it is anticipated that the environmental impacts related
to topographic features and slopes will be mitigated to a level
of less than significant.
Because the site has been substantially disturbed and
regarded as a result of the 1995 landslide. Based on the extent
of the disturbance and grading, the scenic views will not be
affected by the project. There are no exceptional or unique
aesthetic features or scenic vistas present within the project
boundaries. With the incorporation of conditions of approval
such as: using landform grading techniques in order to
minimize the visual impacts to the natural topography and
maintain the look of natural slopes to the maximum extent;
revegetation of manufacture slopes on the project site with
natural and drought tolerant plant material, and the planting of
vegetation associated with the future new homes will
contribute to the visual continuity of the project site with the
surrounding environment. As a result, aesthetic and visual
impacts associated with the proposed project will be less than
significant.
(h) The preservation and enhancement of prominent landmark
features, significant ridgeline, natural rock outcropping,
protected trees and woodlands (Chapter 22.28, Tree
Preservation and Protection), and other areas of special
natural beauty;
The preservation and enhancement of prominent landmark
features and significant ridgeline is addressed in the above
referenced Findings (0 and (h). Natural rock outcroppings do
not exist at the project site.

According to the EIR, focused surveys were prepared for
native trees and special status plants/vegetation. The potential
significance of environmental impacts on biological resources
has been assessed. The proposed project will impact 39 oaks
and one willow tree. The EIR concluded that with the
implementation of mitigation measures as prescribed in the
Mitigation Monitoring Program summarized as follows, it is
anticipated that the proposed project and cumulative biological
resources impacts would be reduced to a level less than
significant. The applicant will implement the mitigation plan, as
approved by the City and according to the guidelines and
performance standards of the plan.
The mitigation measures are as follows:
■ A combination of on-site or off-site preservation,
enhancement, and/or restoration at no less than a 1:1
acreage ratio;
■ Native tree protection at a 3:1 ratio to replace 39 coast
live oak trees and one willow tree;;
■ Biological monitoring;
■ Obtain appropriate permits from California Department
of Fish and Game, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers and State Water Resources
Control Board,
■ Lighting plan reviewed and approved by the City
demonstrating that lighting from the project will be
directed away from natural open space areas_
■ Develop a planting schedule which requires planting to
occur in late fall early winter between October 30, to
January 30, and
(i} The utilization of varying setbacks, building heights, foundation
design and compatible building forms, materials, and colors
which serve to blend buildings into the terrain.
The proposed project will result in the development of 99
residential units and a public park. The homes will be situated
along the private streets that will be located in areas of the site
that are the flattest. The private streets will have a curvilinear
pattern that avoids the steepest areas of the site. Several of
the home design will be stepped back to follow the natural
topography of the site. As a condition of approval, colors and
material will be required to be compatible with other homes in
the surrounding area. Foundation design will be required to
comply with the California Uniform Building Code.

2007--19
(j) The utilization of clustered sites and buildings on more gently
sloping terrain so as to reduce grading alterations on steeper
slopes.
The proposed development of the site will result in clustering of
the residences in the flattest areas of the site. In order to
preserve as much of the site as possible as open space,
building pads are designed to be smaller than conventional
single-family lots.
(k) The utilization of building designs, locations, and
arrangements, which serve to avoid a continuous intrusive
skyline effect and which afford view privacy and protection;
The proposed design of the residences includes stepping back
of the third story and the use of curvilinear street patterns
which serve to mitigate the skyline effect.
(I) The preservation and introduction of plant materials so as to
protect slopes from soil erosion and slippage and minimize the
visual effect of grading and construction and hillside area.
As a condition of approval of this project, revegetation of the
manufactured slopes will be applied in patterns which occur in
nature to the extent possible, thereby minimizing the visual
effect of grading. The revegetation will be required to be
accomplished with suitable plant material requiring minimal
cultivation and irrigation in order to thrive, thereby fostering
slope stability and minimizing the potential for erosion.
(m) The utilization of street designs and improvements, which
serve to minimize grading alterations and harmonize with the
natural contours and character of the hillside.
There are four private streets that will be constructed to
accommodate on-site vehicular circulation. Those streets,
identified on the plan as Streets Private Drives A through D,
will be located within areas of the site with relatively flat
topography and generally curve along the bases of the sloped
areas. Streets will have rounded off cut slope to conform to the
existing contour of the site. All improvements will be
constructed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
Consequently, the project is consistent with the finding.

Development Review
(n) 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 special areas (e.g. theme areas, specific plans, community
plans, boulevards or planned developments).
The project is designed as a cluster development with the
residential units situated in the flattest areas of the site. The
General Plan strategies for this site include the conservation of
open space resources and to preserve significant
environmental resources through clustering to a portion of the
site. The project is consistent with these General Plan
strategies in that the buildings will be clustered along the
flattest areas of the site in small lots so that the areas with the
steepest slopes can be preserved as open space.
The South Pointe West Specific Plan has been developed that
includes a conceptual site plan and development standards
that promote clustering of the homes in certain areas of the
site. The project is substantial compliance with the specific
plan conceptual site plan and development standards.
The City's Design Guidelines promote compatibility with
adjacent development. The project will not have a negative
effect on adjacent existing residential areas in that the project
will be gated to discourage through traffic, will contain single-
family detached condominiums with private rear yards and that
are setback from the street that resemble adjacent traditional
single-family development, and the location of the open space
areas along the project boundaries will serve as buffer areas.
(o) 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 conceptual site plan proposed under the South Pointe
West Specific Plans shows a clustered residential
development that includes open space areas along the site
peripheries that act as a buffer. In addition, the project is
proposed as a gated community that will discourage through
traffic. Private streets within the project site will have a
sidewalk on each side to provide pedestrian circulation through
E
CC -CUP
2007--19
the site. The design and layout of the proposed residential
project will compliment the neighboring uses and will provide
an integrated development that reduces traffic conflict and
encourages pedestrian to walk.
(p) 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 this chapter, the
general plan, or applicable specific plan.
The proposed architectural styles for the single-family
condominiums together with the conditions of approval meet
the intent of the design guidelines of the Specific Plan.
(q) 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,
textures and color and will remain aesthetically appealing.
The proposed project as conditioned will provide a desirable
environment for its occupants and visitors.
(r) The proposed development will not be detrimental to the 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.
The proposed project will improve the property and add value
and positive impact to the City. In addition, as part of the
proposed development of the site, the applicant will further
remediate any remaining landslide hazards on the site and the
adjacent area of Morning Sun Avenue.
(s) The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with
the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA).
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15063, the City has
prepared an Environmental impact Report (EIR) forthe project
finding that the project will have significant impacts on the
environment. in compliance with the CEQA, the City of
Diamond Bar, as the lead agency, prepared an Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) for the purpose of analyzing the direct,
indirect, and cumulative impacts from the development of the
South Pointe West Specific Plan (SPWSP) project site. The
10 cc-cuP
2007--19
EIR addresses the impacts from the SPWSP and the Vesting
Tentative Map and covers future development of the site with
the proposed project. The SPIN project reviewed under the
EIR includes the 31.43 -acre site, the public park and a 7.4 -
acre stockpile site situated east of the future park site.
Per CEQA Guidelines Section 15090, the EIR is being
reviewed concurrently with the approval of the Application and
must be certified by the City Council before project approval.
Tree Permit
(t) The impacted trees interfere with utility services, or streets and
highways, either within or outside of the subject property, and
there is no reasonable alternative exist other than removal of
the trees.
(u) Preservation of the trees are not feasible and would
compromise the property owner's reasonable use and
enjoyment of property or surrounding land and appropriate
mitigation measures will be implemented in compliance with
section 22.38.130 (Tree replacement/relocation standards).
The developer is proposing to remove approximately 39
protected trees. The developer would be required to replace
the removed trees at the ratio of three trees to one removed
tree. A condition of project approval requires the applicant to
provide a mitigation plan prepared by a certified arborist that
will include mitigation measures consistent with Sections
22.38.130 and 22.38.140.
(v) Preservation of the tree is not feasible and would compromise
the property owner's reasonable use and enjoyment of
property or surrounding land and appropriate mitigation
measures will be implemented in compliance with Section
22.38.130 (Tree Re place me nt/Re location Standards
According to the EIR prepared for the project site, a tree
survey was prepared for native trees and special status
plants/vegetation. The proposed project will impact 39 oak
trees and one willow tree will be required to be removed for
development of the site with the project. The EIR concluded
that with the implementation of mitigation measures as
prescribed in the Mitigation Monitoring Program summarized
as follows, it is anticipated that the impacts to protected trees
would be reduced to a level less than significant.
