MATTERS FROM THE AUDIENCE/PUBLIC COMMENTS: None APPROVAL OF AGENDA: As presented. CONSENT CALENDAR: 1. Minutes of February 9, 1999. C/Ruzicka moved, C/Nelson seconded, to approve the minutes of February 9, 1999 as present. Motion carried 5-0. OLD BUSINESS: 1. Consideration of a Resolution for Approval regarding: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 98.4 AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW NO. 98.3 (pursuant to Code Sections Chapters 22.56 -Part 1, 22.38.340 and 22.72.020), a request to construct a two-story building of approximately 12,596 square feet on a vacant lot. The requested use is a church facility. On February 9, 1999, the Planning Commission concluded its public hearing and directed staff to prepare a Resolution of Approval. PROPERTY ADDRESS: 1200 Brea Canyon Road (Lot 2 of Tract No. 35336) Diamond Bar, CA 91765 PROPERTY OVR TER: Kingson Investment Ltd. 939 S. Atlantic Boulevard #212 Monterey Park, CA 91754 FEBRUARY 23, 1999 PAGE 2 APPLICANT: The Church In Diamond Bar 1820 Derringer Lane Diamond Bar, CA 91765 DCM/DeStefano presented staff's report. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission receive testimony from the applicant with respect to his acceptance of the Resolution and its conclusions, review and adopt the draft Resolution. VC/Tye asked if the content of Diamond Bar Friends Church letter render Condition (n) on Page 9 of the Resolution moot and whether it should be deleted. DCM/DeStefano responded that it is the Planning Commission's decision as to whether a follow-up meeting described in Condition (n). is necessary. The letter from Diamond Bar Friends Church outlines the reasons they believe the access is inappropriate. Deletion of Condition (n). will not delay the approval. C/Ruzicka said he would prefer not to delete Condition (n). James Lee, 23221 Forrest Canyon Drive, thanked the Commission for its February 9 decision to draft a Resolution of Approval. He stated that the applicant generally, supports the conditions of approval. Regarding Condition (g), reduction of pad elevation by three (3) feet, he proposed that the 3 foot reduction be taken from the building height instead of from the pad elevation which would save a significant amount of cost (in excess of $100,000) for earth removal and retaining wall modification, etc. With respect to Condition (p), he asked why the cash deposit has been increased from $135,000 to $180,000. In addition, he wishes to know if the cash deposit can be made with the City in the form of a bond as opposed to a cash deposit. Regarding the applicant's share of $5,000 for the traffic light installation on Glenbrook Drive, he proposed that this requirement be imposed only upon a successful negotiation with the Diamond Bar Friends Church for use of their driveway. Since the February 9, 1999 meeting, the applicant has not had an opportunity to meet with their neighbors and are awaiting additional information regarding the proper procedure. He asked for clarification of Condition (q) regarding making a left turn in and left turn out only which he believes may be a typographical error. Since this application is not involved with the operation of South Pointe Middle School, he asked if Condition (x) can be deleted. DCM/DeStefano stated that the applicant's request regarding Condition (g) on page 8 can be accommodated to lower the height of the building from 35 feet to 32 feet. With respect to Condition (p), the increase in the amount for public improvements is a result of a refinement that is based on estimates from the'City's Public Works Division. The City will usually work with an applicant to consider other forms of security, approved by the City Attorney, designed to achieve the same purpose as a cash deposit. With respect to the applicant's $5,000 fair share amount for installation of the Glenbrook Drive traffic signal, the City's Public Works Official and City Engineer,believe that a $53,000 contribution by this applicant is a minimal amount for a $125,000 installation. This applicant receives a "zone of safety" benefit from FEBRUARY 23, 1999 PAGE 3 the signal. Condition (q) contains a typographical error. The Condition should read as follows: "The applicant shall construct the driveway and driveway approach with a clear delineation of a right -turn out only". The applicant is correct that Condition (x) is no longer necessary because the applicant has confirmed that they will not operate classroom facilities. Phillip Chung, 2636 Barefoot Lane, Rowland Heights, owner of the property at 1200 Brea Canyon Road, thanked the Commission for its approval. He said he is concerned about Condition (o) on Page 9 of the Resolution regarding the underground tank. He said he believes that the tank contains diesel which is used to heat the orange grove which is located at the site. He asked for an explanation and of Conditions (o) (2) through (o) (7). DCM/DeStefano responded to Chair/McManus that the issue of the tank needs to be resolved and it would be more appropriate for the applicant to work with City's staff and technical consultant to resolve these issues. Responding to C/Nelson's inquiry, DCMIDeStefano stated that Condition (p) could be reworded to state that "the applicant shall be required to submit a cash deposit or other security, approved by the City Attorney, in the amount of $180,000.00 prior to the issuance of any City permits for the required off-site improvements. DCM/DeStefano responded to VC/Tye that he assumes that the increase in the applicant's deposit is partially accountable to the fact that construction costs have increased due to the construction industry upswing. Currently, all bids are coming in higher than what was originally estimated. In response to C/Ruzicka, DCM/DeStefano indicated that the Resolution should reflect an actual amount. However, if the applicant is willing to accept the Condition, that would suffice. Applicants are generally interested in capping their responsibilities. C/Kuo stated his concerns regarding the applicant's understanding of the impositions of Conditions (h),. (i) and 0). DCM/DeStefano responded that original Condition (h) was specific to the applicant's request for specific church hours on limited days of the week. Staff drafted a revised Condition to reflect what is believed to be reasonable hours for the beginning and ending of various activities. The Condition requires that the applicant seek permission from the Commission for special events which may exceed the hours imposed by the condition; or the Condition may be revised to add a statement which permits the applicant to address an expansion or modification to the hours of modification for special events. C/Ruzicka pointed out that the applicant made no reference to this condition during his enumeration of objections. James Lee said that overall, there is no problem with this condition. He asked if staff meetings would be prohibited under this condition. FEBRUARY 23, 1999 PAGE 4 Chair/McManus said he believes the condition refers to gatherings. C/Nelson encouraged Mr. Lee to think beyond the condition to consider whether in the future the church may wish to entertain Sunrise or Midnight services. James Lee said that there are currently no plans beyond the hours stated in the condition. However, there may be instances where meetings will continue beyond 10:00 p.m. He asked the Commission to consider flexibility within the condition. DCM)DeStefano suggested that the Commission consider permitting an expansion of the hours of operation for special events subject to the issuance of a Temporary Use Permit. C/Ruzicka moved, VC/Tye seconded, to approve Conditional Use Permit No. -984 and Development Review No. 98-3, amended as follows: Amend Condition (g) on page 8 to read that the building height shall not exceed 32 feet; Condition (h) on page 9 - add a, provision to permit temporary uses subject to the provision of the City's Development Code; Condition (p) on page 10 is modified to incorporate "a cash deposit or other securiiy, as improved l� the City Attorney etc., and change the cash deposit to read: "cash deposit or other security as approved by the City Attorney, not to exceed $180.000.00."; Condition (c) on page 10 and 11 is modified to indicate in the last sentence "...clear delineation of right -turnout only"., - eliminate Condition (x) and re -alphabetize the remaining conditions. In addition, Condition (n) is retained.

PROJECT LOCATION: 21950 E. Copley Drive (Lot 23, Tract No. 39679) Diamond Bar, CA 91765 PROPERTY OWNERS: Diamond Bar Business. Associate c/o AEW Capital Management, LP 601 S. Figueroa, #2150 Los Angeles, CA 90017 APPLICANT: Opus West Corporation, 2030 Main Street Irvine, CA 92614 SUMMARY: The property owner/applicant is requesting to revise a project previously approved by the Planning Commission. The Commission's approval permits the construction of a three-story office building of approximately 73,000 square feet and a two-level parking structure. The requested revision is to add two -additional levels to the parking structure, thereby creating a four -level parking structure. The revision request does not alter the building's location, square footage, or architectural style nor does it alter the location of parking structure from the original approval. 1 The property owner, Diamond Bar Business Associate and applicant, Opus West Corporation are requesting a revision (pursuant to Section 22.48.020) to approved Development Review No. 98-13. The Planning Commission approved Development Review No. 98-13 on November 24, 1998. The approval allows the construction of a three-story, commercial office building of approximately 73,000 square feet to be utilized for Allstate Insurance. Additionally, the approval includes a'two-level parking structure. The requested revision proposes to add two -levels to the parking structure, thereby allowing a four -level parking structure. The project site, a vacant, 9.067 acre lot with a 163,738 square foot (3.79 acre) graded pad, is located at 21950 E. Copley Drive (Lot 23, Tract No. 39679) within a commercial business center identified as Gateway Corporate Center. The Center is approximately 233 acres of which approximately 143 acres are subdivided intolotsto accommodate the development of a mix of office -professional, light manufacturing, restaurant and retail. Gateway Corporate Center was processed by Los Angeles County and approved in the late 1980's. This approval incorporated a unilateral contract imposing land restrictions/development standards, which the City adopted on October 17, 1989. The project site has a General Plan land use designation of Professional Office (OP).. Pursuant to the General Plan, this land use designation provides for the establishment of office• -based working environments for general, professional, and administrative offices, as well as support uses. The zoning -designation for the project site is Commercial - Manufacturing -Billboard Exclusion -Unilateral Contract (C-M-BE-U/C). This zoning designation permits general office uses. Generally, the following zones surround the project site: to the north is the Open Space (OS) Zone; to the south, east and west is the C-M-BE-U/C Zone. The project site is located within the City's Redevelopment Agency's Economic Revitalization Area. The City is currently negotiating with Opus West to bring a second division of Allstate Insurance into Diamond Bar, hence the revision request. ANALYSIS Pursuant to the Development Review Ordinance's Section 22.48.020., an application for Development Review:is required for any and all commercial, industrial and institutional development, which involves the issuance of a. building permit for construction or reconstruction of a structure. The original project met this criteria and therefore was reviewed by the Planning Commission. The requested revision, to -alter the approved parking structure by adding two levels, is considered a substantial change to the 2 original approval. As such, the revision request requires Planning commission review and approval.- In addition to complying with the city's Development Review process and standards, the proposed revision must comply with the land use restrictions imposed upon Gateway Corporate Center by the adoption of the Unilateral Contract. The proposed parking structure revision has received the Gateway Corporate center's architectural committee's approval. , The parking structure will be in the s I ame location approved.by the Planning commission (behind the office building, against the toe of slope). it will have a minimum 33 -foot ' separation from the office building and approximately a.five-foot separation from the -toe of slope. However, the applicant proposes to add two levels. As such, the parking structure will contain a ground level, second and third level, and a roof level. The proposed parking structure's ,height will be 34 feet instead of the ' approved 13 feet. it will be constructed from poured in place concrete columns with precast concrete panels between the columns. The construction materials and color will match the approved office building. However, it is required that the parking structure utilize the same reveal pattern delineated on the approved building.. Pursuant to Gateway Corporate Center's development standards,.and the city's Development Code (adopted November 3, 1998 and effective December 3, 1998), general office requires one parking space for every 250 square feet of gross floor area. As a result the project is required to provide 292 parking spaces on site. The project's original approval with the parking lot area I and two-level parking structure provided.371 parking spaces on site. With the proposed two additional levels to the parking structure for a total of four levels and the parking lot area, 563 parking spaces. will be provided on site. Therefore, the provided on-site parking.will be adequate. It is required that a second access with a minimum 26 footwide driveway be provided at the parking structure's ground level. The second access and driveway is to be located at the north end of the parking structure. The second access will result in the elimination of approximately six parking spaces. With the elimination of the six parking spaces,. the parking provided will still be adequate. Al . lstate Insurance will occupy . Lots 22 (approved by'the Planning commission on January 26, 1999) and 23 (subject site). Lot 23 will house approximately 400 employees at onetime with two main shifts from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 P -m- However, employees will be on-site 24 hours. The facility will handle after hour emergencies related to policyholders. Development Review No. 98-13 was approved with conditions as listed within Planning commission Resolution No. 98-22.. All conditions (i.e. the installation of sidewalk.from the northerly boundary of Lot 23 to the northerly boundary of Lot 22) will remain in effect. 3 The City's Public Works and Building and Safety Divisions reviewed the proposed parking structure. Their recommendations'are within the attached draft resolution. ENVIRONMENTALASSESSMENT: The Environmental Impact Report (SCH 80121218) that reviewed the entire development of Gateway Corporate Center and which contemplated the type of use proposed by this project, required that the following traffic mitigation measures be installed. The traffic mitigation measures requiredby the EIR have been installed. Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City has determined that an addendum to the previously approved Negative Declaration 'is re ired or this project. Negative Declaration No. 98-4 was adopted on November 24, 1998. Pursuant to CEQA Section 15164, an addendum to adopted Negative Declaration No. 98-4 was prepared' for the parking structure expansion. No further public review is required. NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING: Notice for this project was published in the Inland valley R„ll„}in and the San Gabriel Val 1 ew Tribune on February 24, 1999.

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 on :the findings and conclusions set forth herein, this Planning Commission hereby finds as follows: (a) The project relates to a vacant, 9.067 acre lot with a 163,738 square foot (3.79 acre) graded pad, within a commercial business center identified as Gateway Corporate Center. (b) The project site has a General Plan land use designation of Professional Office (op). Pursuant to the General Plan, this land use designation provides for the establishment of office -based working environments for general, professional, and administrative offices, as well as support uses. Additionally, development within the OP designation will maintain a floor area ratio (FAR) between 0.25 and 1.00. The proposed project maintain an' -FAR of 0.184. (e) The project site is within the Commercial - Manufacturing -Billboard Exclusion -Unilateral. Contract (C-M-BE-U/C) Zone. This zoning designation permits general office uses as proposed (d) Generally, the following zones surround the project site: to the north is the Open Space (OS) Zone; to the south, east and west is the C-M-BE-U/C Zone. (e) The proposed Development Review is a request to construct a three-story, commercial office building f approximately 73,000 square feet to be utilized for Allstate Insurance. Additionally, the request included a two-level parking structure. (f) The design and layout of the proposed development is consistent with the applicable elements of the City®s general plan, design guidelines of the appropriate district, and any adopted architectural criteria for specialized area, such as designated historic districts, theme areas, specific plans, 2 community plans, boulevards, or planned developments. The proposed project provides for the establishment of office -based working environment for general offices within the General Plan's OP land use designation. Pursuant to the General Plan, the proposed project will yield a pleasant environment for those working and visiting the office facility through its exemplary design, use of materials and colors, and landscaping which will offer a variety of plant species. The building setbacks from Golden Springs Drive is 80.66,feet and from Copley Drive is 45 feet. These setbacks are appropriate in relation to the scale of the proposed building with its height of three-stories/45 .feet and the street right-of-ways which are 84 feet for Copley Drive and 95 feet for Golden Springs Drive. The General Plan suggests that walls be minimized and utilized only for screening. Walls are not part of the proposed project. Screening for mechanical equipment is designed as part of the building parapet. The proposed project's -architectural style, construction materials and colors are consistent and compatible with the existing structures within Gateway Corporate'Center and has received the Center's architectural committee's approval. Therefore,the design and layout of the proposed project is consistent with the applicable elements of the City's General Plan, design guidelines of the appropriate district, and the adopted architectural criteria of the Unilateral Contract of Gateway Corporate Center. (g) The design and layout of the proposed development • will not unreasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future. - development and will not create -traffic or. pedestrian hazards. The proposed general office building is within the Commercial -Manufacturing -Billboard Exclusion - Unilateral Contract (C-M-BE-U/C) Zone which permits the purposed general office use.. The proposed project's site is within the established Gateway Corporate Center which permits general office uses. General office uses were originally reviewed and approved for the Center. Additionally, the Center's certified Environmental Impact Report reviewed impacts related to traffic and pedestrians. As a result, the following traffic mitigation measures were required and were installed. i. Improve that portion of the proposed bikeway along Golden Springs Drive fronting on Gateway Corporate Center; 3 2. Golden Springs Drive shall be widened to provide left -turn pockets at both entrance streets to the Center; -and 3. Traffic signals.shall be installed on Golden Springs Drive, at the two entrance drives to the Center. Due to the above referenced and installed mitigation measures and the traffic analysis and site plan evaluation prepared by Linscott Law and Greenspan, dated November 13, 1998, the design and layout of the proposed general office building'will not unreasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future development and will not create traffic or pedestrian hazards. (hj The architectural design of the proposed development is compatible with the character of the surrounding neighborhood and will maintain the harmonious, orderly and attractive development contemplated by Chapter 22.72 of Development Review Ordinance No. 5 (1990), City Design Guidelines and the City's General Plan. Gateway Corporate Center and its Unilateral Contract were originally reviewed and approved by Los Angeles County, The Unilateral Contract sets forth land restrictions/development standards. The development .standards require an architectural style that is Modern/Contemporary with materials, textures and colors that complement this style. As a result, the City, upon incorporation adopted the Unilateral Contact, thereby adopting the specified development standards. However, the proposed project's architectural style, Contemporary, construction materials and colors are consistent and compatible with the Unilateral Contract and with the existing structures within Gateway Corporate Center. Furthermore the proposed project has received the Center's architectural committee's approval. The proposed architectural design is consistent with the City's Development Review Ordinance in that the project: minimizes grading effect by utilizing the existing pad and preserving the slopes which surround the project site ; maintains public health, safety and general welfare by the installed traffic mitigation measures and the issuance of City permits and inspections; and has and orderly and harmonious design and appearance of the proposed structure, the parking area and landscaping. As alsoreferenced in Item 4 (f), the proposed project®s design is consistent with the applicable elements of the General Plan. Therefore, the 13 proposed project is compatible with the character of the surrounding neighborhood and will maintain the harmonious, orderly and attractive development contemplated by the City's Development Review ordinance and General Plan. (i) 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 and will retain a reasonably adequate level of maintenance. As referenced in the above findings, the proposed project's design is consistent with the applicable elements of the General Plan through its exemplary design, use of materials, colors and landscaping. The proposed materials of glass, aluminum and steel are low maintenance and long lasting.. The varieties of texture and color add to the design's good aesthetics.- Therefore, 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 and will retain a reasonably adequate level of maintenance. (j) The proposed development will not be detrimental to public health, safety or welfare or materially injurious 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, Public Works Division, Health Department and Fire Department requirements.

TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION d. The proposed office building is approximately 73,000 square feet. Pursuant to the City's Development Code and Gateway Corporate Center's development standards, one parking space is required for each 250 square feet of gross floor area of a general office use. Therefore, this project requires 292 parking spaces be provided. However, the project site will provide 563 parking spaces of which 411 will be within the parking structure. It is expected that the office building will house approximately 400 employees at one time with two main shifts from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. However, the facility will handle after hours emergencies related to policyholders. Therefore, the provided 563 parking spaces will be adequate. Additionally, the City's Ordinance for Trip Reduction and Travel Demand Measures applies to this project. Therefore, the proposed project will comply with said ordinance. a. -c. The proposed revision to the parking structure will be developed in compliance with the Design Guidelines of Gateway Corporate Center and the City's Development Review Ordinance and Design Guideline standards. The Gateway Corporate Center Design Guidelines allow for a maximum height of five stories or 75 feet, for structures on the project site. The proposed parking structure is four levels and will not -exceed 34 feet in height. The approved office building is three -stories and 43 feet in height. The parking structure will be located behind the building within the rear portion of the project site. Due to the building's height and width, most of the parking structure will be obscured from view. Additionally, the parking structure will match the office building. with regards to materials and colors. 9 n uA� DB=WR axt)am ADDO u► -DOC v25JW Vt::� .3:��13scRt,,CrrY OF DIAMOND BAR STATE OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES CITY OF DIAMOND BAR The Diamond Bar Planning Commission will hold a regular meeting at the South Coast Quality Management District Auditorium, 21865 East Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, at 7:00 P.M. on March 9, 1999.
