Present: Commissioners Frank Farago, Jack Shah, Tony Torng, Vice Chairman Steve Nelson, and Chairman Jimmy Lin. Also present: Greg Gubman, Community Development Director; Grace Lee, Senior Planner; Natalie Tobon, Assistant Planner; and Stella Marquez, Administrative Coordinator. 3. APPROVAL OF AGENDA: As presented. 4. CONSENT CALENDAR: 4.1 Minutes of the Regular Meeting of February 12, 2013. C/Shah moved, VC/Nelson seconded, to approve the Minutes of the Regular Meeting of February 12, 2013, as presented. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: 5. OLD BUSINESS: 6. NEW BUSINESS: COMMISSIONERS: COMMISSIONERS: COMMISSIONERS: None. None. 7. PUBLIC HEARING(S): Farago, Shah, Torng, VC/Nelson, Chair/Lin None None 7.1 One Year Time Extension for Conditional Use Permit No. 2007-10 and Development Review No. 2006-11 — Under the authority of Diamond Bar Municipal Code Section 22.66.050, applicant Joe Kwok submitted a request for a one-year extension of time to begin construction on a nine - unit residential condominium project on a 0.62 acre lot. The project was FEBRUARY 26, 2013 PAGE 2 PLANNING COMMISSION approved on November 20, 2007, with a three (3) year timeframe to obtain building permits and begin construction. On February 4, 2011, the project was approved for a one-year time extension and on April 3, 2012, the project was approved for an additional one-year time extension. 23671 Golden Springs Drive Diamond Bar, CA 91765 GSDB Investment, LLC 625 Fair Oaks Avenue #115 South Pasadena, CA 91030 APPLICANT: Joseph Kwok 625 Fair Oaks Avenue #115 South Pasadena, CA 91030 CDD/Gubman stated that since this matter has been advertised in the local paper and a public hearing noticed has been placed, it would be appropriate to open the public hearing in case there are any respondents to those notices and continue the public hearing to March 12, 2013. As stated in the agenda, this is an extension of time request for a nine -unit condominium project that would be a reuse of land currently occupied and used by Diamond Jim's Dairy. The reason for the continuance is that the City did not receive from the applicant in a timely manner, the mailing list for the property owners within a 500 foot radius of the property which must be mailed at least 10 days prior to the public hearing date. Because staff did not have the opportunity to get the notices out in that 10 -day period it is compelled to continue the hearing to March 12, 2013. Chair/Lin opened the public hearing. There was no one present who wished to speak on this matter. C/Torng moved, VC/Nelson seconded to continue the matter to March 12, 2013. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: NOES: COMMISSIONERS ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS Farago, Shah, Torng, VC/Nelson, Chair/Lin None None 7.2 Development Review, Conditional Use Permit and Comprehensive Sign Program No. PL2012-444 — Under the authority of Diamond Bar Municipal Code Sections 22.48, 22.58 and 22.36.060, applicant Glen Ross, representing Architekton and property owner Richard Yeh, FEBRUARY 26, 2013 PAGE 3 PLANNING COMMISSIOQ1 representing Country Hills Holding, LLC, requested that the Commission grant the following entitlements: Development Review approval to construct a 3,431 square foot building for occupancy and use as a bank; Conditional Use Permit approval to incorporate a 517 square foot canopy and stacking lanes to accommodate drive-through banking services; and, Comprehensive Sign Program approval for all signage associated with the bank use. The project site is located within the Diamond Hills Plaza Shopping Center located on the westerly side of Diamond Bar Boulevard between Fountain Springs Road and Cold Springs Lane. Development of the project will require the demolition of an existing 4,070 square foot Burger King drive- through restaurant. The subject property is zoned Community Commercial (C-2) with an underlying General Plan land use designation of General Commercial. PROJECT ADDRESS: 2717 S. Diamond Bar Boulevard Diamond Bar, CA 91765 PROJECT OWNERS; Richard Yeh Country Hills Holding, LLC 8115 Preston Road, Suite 400 Dallas, TX 75225 APPLICANT: Glen I. Ross, Architekton 464 S. Farmer Avenue Tempe, AZ 85281 AP/Tobon presented staff's report and recommended Planning Commission approval of Development Review, Conditional Use Permit and Comprehensive Sign Program No. PL2012-444, based on the Findings of Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed within the resolution. C/Shah commented that the turning radius of the drive-through lane did not appear to be sufficient. CDD/Gubman responded that the grading plan shows a turning radius of what appears to be 20 feet 7 inches to the outside curb. The inside radius is 14 feet which would appear to provide an adequate turning radius for an SUV. C/Shah was not satisfied that there was sufficient turning radius. CDD/Gubman said that the applicant can respond or staff can require that as part of the plan check submittal, the applicant provide diagrams showing turning templates for various FEBRUARY 26, 2013 PAGE 4 PLANNING COMMISSIOV sizes and wheel bases of vehicles that would be using the drive -though. If necessary, staff will make adjustments to the inside and outside curbs to provide the adequate turning radius. C/Shah concurred. C/Shah further commented that the allocation of parking spaces does not appear to be adequate. He asked how many parking spaces are required for the bank use and considering that the entire shopping center is filled to capacity will the last use have sufficient parking? AP/Tobon responded that the parking ratio for the bank is one space for every 300 square feet. The bank will be 3,431 square feet which would require 12 parking spaces and the site is already providing more parking spaces than required. Staff used the same parking study table that was submitted in the past but continues to update the study with all of the new businesses that come in to the shopping center and the updated version is provided to the Commission and the updated study shows that adequate parking is provided for new businesses. VC/Nelson asked if the proposed through -lane was the same size as the current drive-through lane and AP/Tobon responded that the applicant can comment on VC/Nelson's question. VC/Nelson asked if the turn radius is the same as the Starbuck's turn radius in the same shopping center. Although it is a fairly tight turn radius, VC/Nelson comfortably maneuvers his SUV through that drive-through. VC/Nelson asked if there was a walkup for the ATM. AP/Tobon confirmed that there is a walkup at the front of the bank. VC/Nelson commented that if the Commission could compare the proposed drive-through turning radius for the proposed bank to the current drive-throughs for Burger King and Starbucks it would be helpful. C/Farago asked the hours of operation for the bank and AP/Tobon responded 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. with the drive-through providing 24-hour service. C/Torng asked if the Chase signage would be visible to Diamond Bar Boulevard traffic. AP/Tobon explained that after cutting four feet the project will import dirt to fill the pad back up to its current level and the signage should be visible from Diamond Bar Boulevard. Jose Gandara, 1713 Harbor Way, Sea[ Beach, on behalf of Architekton and Chase, said his firm laid out the plans and are pleased to present this project to Diamond Bar. He stated that he read the Conditions of Approval and asked for a correction on the Draft Resolution which states that the signage is to exist on the south and east elevations. Staffs report is correct that the signage is to exist on the south and west elevations. With respect to the radius of the drive-through, he used the site plan with the FEBRUARY 26, 2013 PAGE 5 PLANNING COMMISSION queue showing the inside radius of 14 feet which is acceptable to most vehicles. He would love to see the drive-through filled with 15 cars as shown, but it is very unlikely and this exaggerated example proposes to show the worst-case scenario. The inside radius is 14 feet and the outside radius is 20 feet and any one of the vehicles can enter any one of the three lanes. In the event that they cannot make the turn, the third lane is an "escape" lane which does not provide ATM access. There will be a "headache" bar installed which will provide oversized vehicles from entering the drive-through lane. The drive-through is intended for SUV's and large passenger cars which would typically be seen in that type of environment. With respect to parking, the bank proposed to provide 15 parking spaces, which is two spaces less than what is currently existing for the Burger King. However, the drive-through will accommodate two vehicles at a time so most customers will use the drive-through rather than park. The bank has improved on the existing Burger King drive-through because the existing Burger King has only one drive-through lane. The bank hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The bank does not get any deliveries so there will be no standing trucks to provide motor noise for the residents. The drive-through hours are 24/7. The area will be well -lighted and protected with cameras. The signage is intended to address Diamond Bar Boulevard at the south and west elevations. A sign study was done and the applicant looked at the signage along Diamond Bar Boulevard to locate the signage in ideally visible locations where it would be visible from that roadway. C/Farago asked what kind of pedestrian safeguards will be in place at the three -lane exit site. Mr. Ross responded by showing the Commission the location of a striped path using the plan map. Graphics will be placed at the bottom and in addition to vertical stop signs there is a visible stop sign printed on the pavement visible to the motorists driving out of the lanes. Drivers will be required to stop before driving out. C/Farago said that potentially, there could be three vehicles stopped at that crossing at the same time which did not feel right to him. CDD/Gubman said he would use the example of a gas station at a Costco which is an example of side-by-side jockeying for exiting position. Chair/Lin asked staff to have Public Works look at the safety issue of the exiting. VC/Nelson suggested that below the stop signs the bank install "Watch for Pedestrian" signs. Chair/Lin opened the public hearing. With no one present who wished to speak on this matter, Chair/Lin closed the public hearing. FEBRUARY 26, 2013 PAGE 6 PLANNING COMMISSION C/Shah moved, VC/Nelson seconded, to approve Development Review, Conditional Use Permit and Comprehensive Sign Program No. PL2012-444. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Farago, Shah, Torng, VC/Nelson, Chair/Lin NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: None 7.3 Development Code Amendment and Conditional Use Permit No. PL2013-022 '— Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Section 22.10.030 requires gas stations to be located at least 150 feet from "any" school in order to be eligible to sell packaged alcoholic beverages. The DBMC broadly defines "school" to include not only K-12 education but also a wide array of commercial uses including art, dance and martial arts studios, fitness training, commercial tutoring centers, and establishments that provide courses via Internet. Under the authority of DBMC Section 22.70, applicant Ryan Farsai is requesting approval to amend Table 2-6 of DBMC Section 22.10.030 to limit the above described 150 -foot distance requirement to elementary, middle, and high schools only. Concurrently, under the authority of DBMC Section 22.58, the applicant requested approval of a Conditional Use Permit to upgrade an existing Alcoholic Beverage Control License from Type 20 (Beer and Wine) to Type 21 (General) for offsite consumption in conjunction with the sale of motor fuel at an existing AMPM Mini -Mart and Arco Service Station. The subject property is zoned Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) with a consistent underlying General Plan land use designation of General Commercial (C). PROJECT ADDRESS: 3302 S. Diamond Bar Boulevard Diamond Bar, CA 91765 PROPERTY OWNERS: Farsai and Farsai, Inc. 23276 S. Pointe Drive #100 Laguna Hills, CA 92653 APPLICANT: Ryan Farsai 23276 S. Pointe Drive #100 Laguna Hills, CA 92653 CDD/Gubman stated that the Commission was being asked to take recommendation action on two distinct but related requests somewhat unlike a normal land use decision that the Commission would be making FEBRUARY 26, 2013 PAGE 7 PLANNING COMMISSION on an agenda item. The first request for a Development Code amendment has citywide applicability. This Code amendment has to do with narrowing or refining what constitutes a "school" for the purposes of determining appropriate locations for the sale of alcohol. This Code amendment would need to be in effect in order to enable the applicant to apply for a permit to upgrade the current beer and wine license to sell alcohol. Although they are different in scope, one is citywide and one is project -specific, yet both are being requested by the applicant because ultimately, the applicant would need the legislative action of amending the Code to enable the issuance of a land use permit. The Commission could potentially recommend approval for both resolutions or recommend approval for the Code amendment but say in this particular case, it does not think it appropriate to sell alcohol at the requested location. That is not staff's recommendation; however, that scenario is one of the alternatives in the recommendations that the Commission will be making as it deliberates on this two -fold matter. Chair/Lin asked why the two related issues were presented together. If this is a Code amendment how does the City advertise this matter? CDD/Gubman responded that this is addressed in state law. When a potential land use decision such as a code amendment and the scope of a planning decision is so broad it does not make sense to individually notice or expect that everyone who would be affected by something would receive a personal notice, state law allows for the publication of a larger advertisement in the local newspaper which was done in this case, and that is how staff deals with citywide applicable planning matters. SP/Lee pointed out that this is stated on Page 10 of staff's report. SP/Lee presented staff's report and recommended that the Planning Commission Adopt Attachment No. 1, a resolution recommending City Council approval of Development Code Amendment, and Attachment No. 2, a resolution recommending City Council approval of Conditional Use Permit No. PL2013-0222, based on the Findings of Fact, and subject to conditions of approval as listed within the resolution. VC/Nelson asked if staff was including both public and private schools when speaking of middle and high schools and SP/Lee responded "yes." She further stated that this includes any and all schools "with a campus setting." VC/Nelson said he believed this item should be handled as two separate motions because there is a chance it could be misconstrued as favoritism FEBRUARY 26, 2013 PAGE 8 PLANNING COMMISSIO-K with respect to this particular project. VC/Nelson recommended that the Commission consider the Code amendment first and the project second. Chair/Lin concurred. C/Torng asked if the ampm mini mart location violated the current code because there is no school within 150 feet. SP/Lee responded that there are no grade schools, per se, but there are private learning facilities such as tutoring centers. C/Torng said he thought the rule was 600 feet and SP/Lee responded "no." SP/Lee explained that the existing Beer and Wine License at 3302 S. Diamond Bar Blvd. is "grandfathered" in. C/Torng asked if there was any school within 150 feet of the ampm mini mart and SP/Lee explained that there are no public schools but there are private learning facilities. C/Torng said he believed the Montessori School is more than 150 from the project. C/Torng asked if the shopping center across the street from the project was within 150 feet and SP/Lee responded "yes, it is approximately 100-110 feet." To answer C/Torng's question about the liquor store at the corner of Pathfinder Road and Brea Canyon Road, CDD/Gubman explained that existing locations are grandfathered, and the liquor store in question was in existence prior to the 2000 ordinance that set forth the 150 foot distance limitation. In fact, the ordinance that was passed applied only to alcohol sales from gas stations. Although a liquor store still requires a Conditional Use Permit, the real intent of the year 2000 ordinance was to ensure that the Chevron Station across the street from Diamond Bar High School could not apply for a Conditional Use Permit. It is reasonable to surmise that without the year 2000 ordinance and that station having applied for a license, because of parent and school district objections, that permit would probably be denied by the Planning Commission or upon appeal, by the City Council. With or without this ordinance being in place, there is still the controlling factor of the Conditional Use Permit in looking at specific sites and for the Commission to determine, through that permit process, whether it is appropriate or whether there are land use conflicts that would say that this is not the right place to allow alcohol sales to occur. C/Torng said he felt that in this instance it was okay because it was across the street and he did not believe students would walk across the street. He said he believed the 150 feet should be reconsidered at different locations because if it is in the same plaza, 150 feet is not that far away. The private schools are for young students and the adults can go out anytime they wish. He said that was his major concern. Chair/Lin said he believed that 150 feet was from property line to property line and not building to building. He said he believed that Diamond Bar FEBRUARY 26, 2013 PAGE 9 PLANNING re m. Boulevard was about 100 feet of right-of-way and that is why even the properties across the street are within 150 feet. SP/Lee stated that Chair/Lin was correct. Ryan Farsai, applicant, representing Arco ampm of Diamond Bar. He thanked the Commission for its support of the small business owners and for considering this evening's request. His family bought into this business in 1992 and has owned the property since 2003. In 2004, he and his brothers became operators of the station and their mother is their landlord. 'The reason the Code Amendment change is being made is because of the neighborhood center across the street from the project which consists of five big buildings and is 110 feet from the subject property line. The property across the street includes the Montessori School which has students from age 0 to 5 and after school programs. The reason for the request is that it is not possible to sell alcohol to children aged 0 to 5 and he believes that a definition of this school is one in which parents drop off their children in the morning and pick them up in the afternoon. The children have recess and lunch periods on their campus. His business has a perfect 20 -year track record with ABC. With respect to the 110 foot property line, there is a secured fence protecting that property because it adjacent to the SR57 northbound. The students would have to leave the building, go all of the way around to the driveways and those driveways are 275 feet and 325 feet respectively from his building. In addition, he was concerned about the Montessori School and if the school included elementary, junior high and high school and students were arriving and departing without adult supervision, it would be a concern. However, that is not the case for his location. Mr. Farsai stated that with respect to the CUP, the site has been operating since 1992. In the years 1993 to 1997 this business paid for his college education. The station was pumping 500,000 gallons per month and is now doing 250,000, a 50 percent reduction. The site is currently generating in about $12 million taxable dollars for the City but since the oil spill in 2010 there has been an eventual downfall of BP and eventual mass US divestiture of assets including the ARCO brand, the refinery and distribution rights to over 700 sites in southern California. There is currently a pending sale by BP/PLC to Tesoro which is a refiner based out of El Paso Texas and as a result, he will get less profit on the gas. As a result of these impending events, his business is taking a proactive stance to create revenue to improve the business. Profits are down and he is competing with big supermarkets that are now offering gasoline and other products at lower prices. He feels his site offers a good atmosphere for sale of alcohol which will provide a convenience for his customers on a 24/7 basis. His business has been awarded a priority application for an upgrade by ABC. He hopes the NFL Stadium will come to fruition and in FEBRUARY 26, 2013 PAGE 10 PLANNING COMMISSIOA anticipation of future growth he is doing his best to prepare for this eventuality. He estimates a 25 percent growth in revenue from the sale of alcohol and a 30-40 percent growth in alcohol and another 15-20 percent growth in the store with an NFL Stadium. He thanked staff for helping him through this process. VC/Nelson said that intuitively, to sell any kind of liquor at a gas station makes no sense ever. The reality is that people who want to drink will get it whether it is sold at a gas station or not. When talking about people or children potentially coming to buy alcohol, and Mr. Farsai is talking about pre-school age, it is ridiculous turning down his application. No five year- old will walk into Mr. Farsai's store and say he wants to purchase alcohol, for example. As far as the stadium possibly being developed nearby, most people he knows that tailgate bring their alcohol with them and do not stop off and buy alcohol at an ARCO station or liquor store so he does not see that as a problem. In terms of a code for the City VC/Nelson believes there needs to be a Code for the City, but when you break it down, a person can run 150 feet in five seconds and can walk it in less than a minute to purchase alcohol. Therefore, he believes that 150 feet is a silly number and a more appropriate number would be a quarter of a mile which he is by no means suggesting. But the honest answer is that if some kid wants to hop the fence of a high school and go and get liquor, under the current restrictions, he can do it in less than one minute if he has a fake ID. He believes the City needs a Code but does not personally believe it is meaningful and to apply it in this situation makes no sense to him whatsoever. VC/Nelson said he had no problem with Mr. Farsai's project. C/Shah congratulated Mr. Farsai on a very detailed and well-prepared presentation. He said he agreed with VC/Nelson that 150 feet did not make sense. Alcohol is alcohol as far as he is concerned. Chair/Lin opened the public hearing. With no one present who wished to speak on this matter, Chair/Lin closed the public hearing. C/Farago asked CDD/Gubman about the definition of the school because the Code currently reads from any school, elementary, middle and high school which would include private schools and asked if there was any way to clarify that in this instance. CDD/Gubman said the City did not want to say it was applicable to only private schools or only to public schools. There are potentially private schools and one example in the City is the Institute of Knowledge, the Islamic School at the end of Via Sorella which is a private school that has grades K through 12. Staff did not want FEBRUARY 26, 2013 PAGE 11 PLANNING COMMISSION to distinguish between a public and private school because their operating characteristics can be somewhat similar and staff believes that the intent when this regulation was originally written was to reduce the opportunity for students that have the mobility to move on and off campus without parental or adult supervision to be exposed to a retail establishment that is advertising and/or selling alcohol. C/Farago said he understood the point of the regulation, his question was if CDD/Gubman believed that the way it was written now included both private and public without it so stating that fact because that will be a deciding factor when he votes. CDD/Gubman said the language could be amended to say public and private to take away any ambiguity and C/Farago felt that would be beneficial. C/Torng asked if this amendment was passed if it would apply to gasoline stations, liquor stores and grocery stores. CDD/Gubman responded that was not correct. For alcoholic sales in conjunction with motor fuel, this is the only type of off-site alcohol retail establishment that this existing Code applies to and staff did not attempt to debate or re-evaluate whether 150 feet makes sense or whether this footnote that applies only to gas stations makes sense. It is what is in the Code, and in light of the fact that the City has this regulation and the way it is written that says it applies to a gas station 100 feet from any school, and any school includes a Pilates studio so that is what is constraining this business enterprise from being competitive, staff can understand the proximity concern with schools and children that have independent mobility but what staff does not understand is the issue with applying that distance restriction in light of the very, very broad definition of "school" in the Code which would include a Curves Fitness Center, for example. Staff is attempting to get away from the issue of whether it makes sense for this restriction to apply only to gas stations and not to liquor stores and grocery stores because that could be a debatable issue for another time. The same holds true with the 150 foot rule. Staff is attempting only to be very surgical in its recommendation which does not want to get into the 150 feet debate or the "why does it apply to gas stations and not liquor stores or grocery stores" debate, staff is merely saying why does it apply to any school when in Diamond Bar there is an exponential growth of tutoring centers that is going to zone out every other type of use unless the language becomes more precise about what the existing restriction was meant to apply for. C/Torng said that if for example, the Chase Bank location at Diamond Hills Plaza were to become a liquor store and at the same plaza there existed a number of tutorial schools, in his mind he would try to minimize the situation under that condition. However, that same condition is very difficult to apply to this project. CDD/Gubman said that one thing to remember is that even if the Chase Bank converted to a liquor store it would require a Conditional Use Permit and while they are not excluded FEBRUARY 26, 2013 PAGE 12 PLANNING COMMISSION from applying for a Conditional Use Permit there, the Commission could deny that use permit because it may find that a liquor store is not a compatible use in the middle of the center near an Orchepia School of Music or just the exposure of the advertising or whatever other land use conflicts one might find to exist if the liquor store were located in that setting. Chair/Lin said that the amendment under consideration would include a Costco with gasoline sales, for example and CDD/Gubman responded that Chair/Lin was correct. VC/Nelson moved to recommend City Council approval of Development Code Amendment to revise Tables 2-5 and 2-6 of the DBIVIC Section 22.10.030 to limit the above described 150 -foot distance requirement to elementary, middle and high schools only, based on the Findings of Fact, and subject to conditions of approval as listed within the resolution, with the addition of the language amended to include public and private schools.

M UUMMIZA CDD/Gubman reminded the Commission that its reorganization meeting will take place at the regularly scheduled March 12 meeting. Two items are scheduled for Planning Commission action — one is the continued public hearing for the nine unit condo project and the second is a Conditional Use Permit for an Arts School at the two-story commercial building at Banning Way and Golden Springs Drive just up the street from the Lemon Avenue intersection. The City has received six proposals in response to the RFP for City Attorney services. The firm of Jenkins and Hogan has given the City notice that it will be terminating their contract with Diamond Bar in April. City Council will go into Closed Session next Thursday morning to interview the candidates and as early as March 19 the selection could be confirmed at the City Council meeting. Chair/Lin said he would not be present for the March 12 reorganization meeting and voiced his support of VC/Nelson to serve as Chair of the Planning Commission. 10.
