8.1 Development Review No. 99-6/Conditional Use Permit No. 99-3 (pursuant to Code Section

with a research laboratory facility for automobile emissions testing.

APPLICANT: Dale Malcolm

DSA/Joe presented staff's report. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve
Development Review No. 99-6, and. Conditional Use Permit No. 99-3, Findings of Fact, and
conditions of approval, as listed within the Resolution.
C/Ruzicka asked for assurance that the proposed type of operations is compatible with the area.
Dale Malcolm, project architect and agent, stated that SEMA owns the building. They have
completed negotiations for a long-term (10 year) lease to the Automobile Club of Southern
California. He indicated that the flagpole is a design element and he will lower the height of the
pole in accordance with staff's request. He explained the clean testing facility operation. The
gases that are vented will be as clean or cleaner than the air that surrounds the building. He
further stated that in his opinion, this is an appropriate location for this type of operation in that it
is a research and development operation. There are ancillary functions the Automobile Club
offers to people who have special problems with their cars. Individuals must have a pre -
scheduled appointment to enlist the services of the facility. No repairs are allowed on-site.
VC/Nelson said he is concerned about specialized facilities that sit empty and what the market
statistics reveal about the demand for this type of facility.
Dale Malcolm responded that SEMA has been planning this facility for about a year. One of
SEMA's concerns was that if economic conditions did not sustain this type of operation, could
the building be converted to an office building. SEMA's plan is that if anything happens in the
future to render the facility useless, they will convert the bottom floor to offices. The ceiling is
NOVEMBER 23,1999 PAGE 3 PLANNING COMMISSION
taller than it needs to be for an office facility, but the columns are in the right place to
accommodate the conversion.
Steve Mazer, Operations Manager for AAA, clarified that the proposed operation is not a
government facility, but a State of California and Federal Environmental Protection Agency
approved facility. There are 22 test labs recognized by the State to perform the Federal Test
Procedure which is a far more sophisticated emissions test than what is offered at local gas
stations. This is a white lab coat and white glove type of testing environment. The tests take a
minimum of 24 hours to perform that requires careful preparation. Some clients are charged as
much as $1,000 for a single test. The reason for the relationship with SEMA is that a number of
their members need to perform this kind of testing in order to legally sell their after -market
products in the United States and in California. He explained the testing process. He stated that
they also hope to do contract testing for SCAQMD.
Linda Czarkowski, Vice President of SEMA, responded to VC/Nelson that SEMA has not
conducted a market study.
Steve Mazer responded to Chair/Tye that of the remaining 21 test labs in California, one facility
is operated by AAA.
Chair/Tye opened the public hearing.
There being no one who wished to speak on this matter, Chair/Tye closed the public hearing.
AssocP/Lungu stated that staff reviewed this project, considered the operation through the
Negative Declaration process, through the filtration systems that have been developed for the
emissions, and considered the use in relationship to Gateway Corporate Center. With its
recommendation for approval, staff believes that this is an appropriate use for the location. This
is a Conditional Use Permit. However, if the use was to stop for a particular period of time,
SEMA may petition to turn the building into office space that is allowed in that zone.
Following discussion, C/McManus moved, C/Ruzicka seconded, to approve Development
Review No. 99-6 and Conditional Use Permit No. 99-3, Findings of Fact, and conditions of
approval as listed within the Resolution. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote:

LIGHTING INN FUNDA IAL
U GHT POLLUTION
There are three major causes of ambient fight pollution that could be generated by exterior
lighting fixtures. These ares spill lig ht,IA are and sky glow.
SPILL LIGHT
Spill Light is caused by misdirected light. The classic example is the bright light shirting on
the shade in our bedroom while trying to go to sleep. We can tell by looking at the light on
our shade if the lights are on or off.
GLARE
Glare is the uncomfortable brightness of a light source when viewed against a dark
background, Our eyes seeing a bright object against a dark background causes glare, or
more properly in this case, discomfort glare. We all have had the experience of squinting at
oncoming headlights while driving. The bright light from the oncoming headlights causes us
to squint and results in discomfort we call glare. As we age discomfort will be more
pronounced.
Sky Glow
Sky Glow is another form of light pollution. Sky glow is the glow that appears above a lit area
when luminaires are emitting, light up into to the sky. The Sky Glow can be seen for many
miles and tends to dominate a dark sky.
Foot -candies are the unit of illuminance. if we were to go out to a lit sports field with a light
meter we would be measuring foot-candles. '
1. -71-1 =A
Lumens are the quantity of light that a particular watt lamp can put out. Without getting too
technical, the relationship between foot -candies and lumens, is that lumens per square foot
are proportional to foot -candies. For a fixed area, the more lumens the more foot-candles.

Dark Sky Ordinances
"Dark Sky Ordinance" is a term used to describe local ordinances whose purpose is to limit the
amount of man made light in the night skies. Observatories initiated the original dark sky
ordinances. The glow from city lights were emitting light up thousands of feet in the air and
interfering with the observatories viewing the heavens. Since that time some local lighting
ordinances are referred to as dark sky ordinances. This is somewhat of a misnomer as lighting
that might disturb local residences might not even be seen by an observatory which is usually
at an elevation of several thousand feet
additional Topics.
Additional lighting fundamentals include efficiency of different lighting sources such as
incandescent, quartz, fluorescent, high pressure sodium, metal halide and low pressure
sodium. Some exterior lighting fixtures are also specified as cut off and full cut off

Development Code Amendment
No. 99-1 and Subdivision
Ordinance Amendment No.
99-1.
To amend Articles II, III,
IV, V, and VI of the
City's Development Code
and Articles I and II of
the City's Subdivision
Ordinance.
Citywide
APPLICANT: City of Diamond Bar
21660 E. Copley Drive, #190
Diamond Bar, CA 91765
BACKGROUND:
After many workshops and public hearings by Planning Commission
and City Council, the City's Development Code was adopted on
November 3, 1998 and.became effective on December 3, 1998; and
the Subdivision Ordinance was adopted on February 2, 1999 and
became effective on March 3, 1999.
The purpose of the Development Code is to implement the policies
of the City's General Plan by classifying and regulating the uses
of land and structures within the City. In addition, the
Development Code protects and promotes the public health, safety,
and general welfare of the residents, and preserves and enhances
the aesthetic quality of the City. The Development Code provides
standards for orderly growth and development and promotes a
1
stable pattern of land uses. It is a tool utilized to implement
the land uses designated by the General Plan, thereby avoiding
conflict between land uses. The Development Code assists in
protecting and maintaining property values, and conserving and
protecting the City's natural resources. Furthermore, the
Development Code facilitates in protecting the City's character,
and social and economic stability, as well as assisting in
maintaining a high quality of life without unduly high public or
private costs for development or unduly restricting private
enterprise, initiative, or innovative design.
The purpose of the Subdivision Ordinance is to supplement,
implement and work with the Subdivision Map Act of the California
Government Code. The Subdivision Ordinance is not intended to
replace the Map Act. It is utilized in conjunction with the Map
Act in the preparation of applications, the review and approval,
and construction of proposed subdivisions.
The City staff has been utilizing the Development Code for one
year and the Subdivision Ordinance for nine months. The
implementation of both codes during this time period indicates
that several amendments are needed in order to continue to
implement the purpose of both Codes, better serve the residents
and development community while safeguarding the best interest of
the City. As a result, the City of Diamond Bar (pursuant to Code
Sections 22.44 and 21.02) is requesting approval to amend the
following Articles and Sections of City's Development Code and
Subdivision Ordinance.

ANALYSIS:
Development Code Section 22.44.020 and Subdivision Ordinance
Section 21.02.030 identifies the City official or body
responsible for reviewing and making decisions on each type of
application, land use permit and other entitlements. Pursuant to
the referenced sections, the Planning Commission is the advisory
body to the City Council for Development Code and Subdivision
Ordinance amendments.
The following analysis will delineate each section with current
standards, the recommended amendment in Wa and the
issue/reason for the amendment.

Issue/Reason:
The current Zoning Consistency Matrix, Table 2-2 is not
consistent with the General Plan. According to the General Plan
Land Use Map, the RPD 20,000 Zone is within Low Density
Residential (RL) land use designation. PA-2/SP will be developed
with approximately 130 single-family residences (Tract No. 52267/
SunCal project). The average lot size is approximately 10,900
square feet. -As such, it is consistent with the General Plan Low
Density Residential land use designation. Hence the recommended
amendments.

Originally, the City's intent was to increase the rear yard
setback within the RR, RL and RLM Zones by five feet. The
increased setback will provide better livability area and will be
more reflective of the existing setbacks in the referenced zones.
Lot Coverage
Staff has contacted several cities (La Verne, Malibu, Rancho
Palos Verdes, Claremont, Covina, Fullerton, Rancho Cucamonga,
Glendora, La Habra Heights) regarding the maximum allowable lot
coverage. Lot coverage varies from city to city. Maximum lot
coverage ranges from 25 to percent. For example, the City of
Rancho Cucamonga has a maximum lot coverage of 25 percent for
half -acre lots or larger, 40 percent for 8,000 square foot lots
and 60 percent for 5,000 square foot or smaller lots. In the
City of Glendora lot coverage is based on the average slope for
hillside areas as follows: 10 to 25 percent average slope -25
percent maximum lot coverage; 25 to 35 percent average slope -20
percent maximum lot coverage; 35 to 40 percent average slope -15
percent maximum lot coverage; 40 to 45 percent average slope- 10
percent maximum lot coverage; and 45 percent or greater average
slope -5 percent maximum lot coverage; in non -hillside areas
maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 35 percent is utilized. La
Habra Heights does not utilize lot coverage. In this city, lot
coverage is determined by the required setbacks. For the City
of Fullerton varies, lot coverage varies depending on lot size;
lots from 6,000 to 40,000 square, the lot coverage ranges from 60
to 45 percent.

Swimming pools and spas are allowed in side and rear setbacks
provided they are not closer than five feet to any property

0
Issues/Reasons: .
B.6. For the City of Diamond Bar, the issue relates to requests
for guest houses that are almost as large as the main dwelling.
As a result, it is possible to conclude that a second dwelling
unit is the actual request. With a maximum guest house square
footage, two dwelling units on a single-family residential lot
will not occur, thereby protecting the integrity of single-family
residential areas. However, if an applicant has a need for a
guest house larger than 1,200 square feet or 25 percent of the
main dwelling, the Conditional Use Permit reviewed by the
Planning Commission can be utilized. Also, when considering the
appropriate square footage for a guest house, bear in mind that
State law allows a second unit or "Granny Flat" of 1,200 square
feet.
The staff has contacted several cities (La Verne, Malibu,
Fullerton, Rancho Palos Verdes, Claremont, Covina, Glendora,
Rancho Cucamonga, Chino Hills, La Habra Heights) regarding the
maximum allowed square footage for guest houses. The maximum
square footage varies from 300 to 900 with larger guest houses
requiring a discretionary permit. In the City of Glendora, all
guest houses require a Conditional Use Permit; maximum size 900
square feet. Some cities utilized 35 to 65 percent of the main
dwelling unit's square footage with the higher percentages
requiring a discretionary permit. The City of Covina allows
guest houses when the square footage of all accessory structures
is less than 50 percent of the main dwelling unit and lot
coverage doesFnot exceed 35 percent. The City of Chino Hills
does not have a maximum allowed square footage for guest house.
This city believes that the lack of kitchen facilities tends to
limit the request in general for guest houses; additionally a
guest house does not require a discretionary permit. The City of
Rancho Cucamonga permits guest houses with a maximum 640 square
feet, approved administratively. The City of Fullerton will
permit guest houses of any size as long as setback and lot
coverage requirements are met; however, it is required that a
deed restriction be recorded specifying the intended use and the
fact that the guest house can not be rented. The City of La
Habra Heights does not allow guest houses. Cities that permit
guest houses require adequate parking be provided.
B.10. The overall parcel coverage amendment of 30 percent is
needed for consistency with Section 22.08.240, Residential Zoning
District General Development Standards, Table 2-4.
Current Standard:
A code section does not exist which discusses development within
Diamond Bar's Significant Ecological Area.

improvements conform to applicable provisions of this Development
Code and the exterior limits of new construction do not exceed
the applicable height limit or encroach further into the setbacks
we
than the comparable portion of the existing structure. The
Hearing Officer may approve a Minor Conditional Use Permit only
if the following findings can be made, in addition to those
contained in Section 22.56.040 (Finding and Decisions).

Officer may approve a Minor Conditional Use Permit only if the
following findings can be made, in addition to those contained in
Section 22.56.040 (Finding and Decisions).
5E
Issues/Reasons:
The staff receives many requests for additions of less than 50
percent of the existing residential structure. These types of
additions are usually done administratively. However, the issue
relates to such requests when the existing setbacks are not
consistent with the new Development Code. In the past, the City
has allowed additions (less than 50 percent of the existing
square footage, with the appropriate permits) to single-family
residential structures as long as the additions followed the
development line of the existing residential structure. Such
projects were approved administratively. This practice is also
typical in other cities. Pursuant to the above referenced
Development Code, additions of less than 50 percent and
improvements as minimal as a patio cover (that following the
M
development line of the existing residential structure) to a
legal non -conforming structure can only be approved through the
Minor Conditional Use Permit (MCUP) process. The MCUP process
requires a public,hearing by the Hearing Officer (Deputy City
Manager). It is a costly, burdensome and time consuming process
for the resident. In most cases, this process is not necessary
for a high quality evaluation for compliance with -the Development
Code and City Design Guideline that are now in place.
Furthermore, the Development Code grants the Director the ability
to elevate a development project to the next level of processing
if necessary.
Current Standard:
A code section does not exist which discusses administrative
responsibilities of the Significant Ecological Area Technical

PART 3 - DETERMINATION Project Number: DCA No. 99-1/SOA No. 99-1
To be completed by Lead Agency
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and
a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
X
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there
will not be a significant effect in this case because the MITIGATION MEASURES described on
an attached sheet have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be
prepared.
I find that the proposed project MAY have significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but at least
one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal
standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as
described on attached sheets, if the effect is a "potentially significant impact" OR "potentially
significant unless mitigated." An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it
must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there
WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects (a) have
been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been
avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures that
are imposed upon the proposed project.

PART 4 - EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are
adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses
following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced
information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one
involved (e.g. the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should
be explained where it is based on project -specific factors as well as general standards (e.g.
the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project -specific
screening analysis.)
2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as
on-site, cumulative as well as project -level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as
well as operational impacts.
3. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect
is significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the
determination is made, an EIR is required.
4. "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation
of mitigation measures has reduced an affect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a
"Less than Significant Impact." The lead agency must described the mitigation measures
and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation
measures from Section XVII, "Earlier Analyses," may be cross-referenced).
5. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA
process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration.
Section 15063 (c)(3)(D). Earlier analyses are discussed in Section SVII at the end of the
checklist.
6. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information
sources for potential impact (e.g. general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a
previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference
to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. A source list should be attached,
and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion.
