CDD/Gubman presented staff's report explaining that the Development
Code has been updated and refined as needed to reflect any new adopted
ordinances or to reflect any requirements of state law. From time to time
issues come up as a result of the routine use of the Development Code
where language may be unclear or where there may be internal conflicts
within various sections of the Code. As those items are encountered, staff
compiles the corrections for periodic code cleanup. At this point staff has
compiled a number of minor changes that are being brought to the
Commission this evening to make the document more user-friendly and in
certain cases, reduce the bureaucratic hurdles that no longer provide a
benefit to the community. He cited examples and discussed each of 14
minor changes of the total 16 changes (2 of which were typographical
errors) that are considered under the general classification within the
California Environmental Act as being exempt, and responded to
Commissioner's questions and concerns.
The Commission requested. that Code 22.22.100(a) be tabled for a future
meeting, and directed staff to provide more information.
Chair/Lin reopened the public hearing.
With no one present who wished to speak on this item, Chair/Lin closed
the public hearing.
C/Shah moved, C/Torng seconded, to approve Development Code
Amendment No. PL2011-454, based on the Findings of Fact and subject

SP/Laufenburger presented staff's report and recommended Planning
Commission approval of Development Review PL2010-191, based on the
Findings of Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed within
the resolution.
Christine Lee stated that this lot is 1 '/� acres and the house is 21 percent
of the total lot coverage so there is still a lot of landscape area allowed,
most of which will be retained as natural landscape along the street edge.
Some of the improvements will be on the existing pad for the enjoyment of
the client in the area of the pool and cabana located toward the rear of the
lot so there would be no adverse public impact. She asked that the
Planning Commission approve the project.
C/Shah asked if the demolished materials would be hauled away from the
site or reused for filling the area. Ms. Lee said she believed the impact to
the ground would be minimal except for the excavation of the pool and the
soil excavated from the pool will be used for the landscape area. C/Shah
said he was concerned about the demolished material and in particular,
the concrete as to whether it would be reused or removed from the site.
Mr. Ennabe said he felt the project would be a very good improvement for
"The Country Estates" which was approved by the architectural
committee.
Chair/Lin opened the public hearing.
With no one present who wished to speak on the matter, Chair/Lin closed
the public hearing.
C/Farago asked if the City had a construction and demolition waste
requirement for recycling and CDD/Gubman responded yes, and the
demolition permit will be processed with the City's Solid Waste

Coordinator. In addition to the SCAQMD permits, the City is required to
divert as much demolition material from the landfills as possible.

VC/Nelson stated that the reason for recusal on the next item is that he works for
a company that has a contract with Lewis Companies. VC/Nelson recused
himself from participation in Item 10.2 and left the meeting room..
10.2 Development Agreement Amendment No. PL2011-57- Under the
authority of Diamond Bar Municipal Code Section 22.62, the applicant and
property owner, JCCL South Pointe West, LLC requested approval to
extend the expiration date of the existing development agreement
between the City of Diamond Bar and JCCL-South Pointe West, LLC.
South Pointe West is a 99 unit single family residential condominium
project comprised of approximately 34.52 acres generally located south of
Larkstone Drive, east of Morning Sun Avenue, and West of Brea Canyon
Road. The original development agreement was approved by the City
Council on March 20, 2007, and went into effect on April 19, 2007, and is
set to expire on April 19, 2012. The proposed amendment extends the
Development Agreement by another five (5) years to April 19, 2017.

recommended Planning Commission approval for the time extension of
Development Agreement Amendment No. PL2011-57, and in addition, the
removal of Section 4.4.1.2 from the Agreement, which requires the
developer place $500,000 into an escrow account after the 49th dwelling is
occupied, which is unlikely to result in any benefit to the City, and based
on the Findings of Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed
within the resolution,.
Omar Dandashi, Vice President, Lewis Operating Corporation, speaking
on behalf of JCCL-South Pointe West, LLC, said he was present to
answer Commissioner's questions and concerns.
C/Torng asked when Mr. Dandashi felt this project could be completed.
Mr. Dandashi said it was somewhat unpredictable. The market is
stabilizing in 2012 and is tough to predict but feels that within the
timeframe requested, there will be definite development.
Chair/Lin opened the public hearing
Kingdon Chew, 20447 Tam Oshanter Drive, Rowland Heights,
representing Walnut and Rowland Heights residents and the Royal Vista
Golf Course community, opposes the project but understands the project
is in Diamond Bar's jurisdiction. In the likelihood that this extension is
approved, the community members ask that this agreement made in 2007
be fully honored between Rowland Heights, Walnut, Diamond Bar and the
developer, and in particular, the agreement involving the emergency
egress onto Morning Star because the immediate area has no sidewalks
with some exception and the area sees much more foot traffic including
joggers, seniors, caregivers, retirees, children and boomerang kids and
their respective families as well as, those walking their dogs. In addition,
the community would like to have another EIR and geological survey
analysis done to reflect current circumstances and to include the impact
variable of the future eastbound SR60 ingress/egress on Lemon Avenue.
Beth Hojnacke, President, Rowland Heights Community Coordinating
Council, asked if the Commission could notify the City of Rowland Heights
when anticipating discussion on projects that abut Rowland Heights.
Chair/Lin closed the public hearing.
C/Shah asked staff to comment on the speaker's concerns regarding a
secondary access for the South Pointe West project that connects to
Morning Sun Avenue. Although this hearing process occurred before he
MARCH 13, 2012
...i i'•"�' �:-nth !j
PAGE 7 PLANNING COMMISSION
came on board, CDD/Gubman said that when this project was first brought
to the City there were concerns about this becoming a full access point
into the project and the potential impacts to the existing neighborhood of
having the traffic coming through that point. To ensure that emergency
access is still provided into the project the agreement was that that access
would be gated and it would be accessible for emergency ingress/egress
only. As a result, the residents of this community would be required to
enter and exit the project at Larkstone Drive and not through the existing
neighborhood of Rowland Heights which is an adopted plan condition.
Chair/Lin said that ordinarily there is a time limit on the EIR.
ACA/Wohlenberg responded that there is no strict time limit on the EIR. It
depends on whether the analysis in the EIR applies to the project as
proposed. Sometimes people talk about the "five year rule" which is
actually the five-year rule of thumb. Staff is not recommending a review of
the environmental document. This is the development agreement. The
project is the same and staff expects that the impacts have not
significantly changed and this time -extension should not make a material
impact in the environmental review. CDD/Gubman stated that staff looked
at the EIR that was certified for this project and looked to see if there was
any change in circumstances or information that would lead to a re-
evaluation of the EIR in further detail. Staff found there were no changes
in circumstances or new information that would lead to such a conclusion.
There is new CEQA legislation that applies to greenhouse gas emissions
and when an EIR is done it must consider global warming impacts. This
project, because it is only 99 units and they are essentially detached
townhomes, the number of units will not reach the threshold for conducting
a greenhouse gas emissions analysis. Therefore, staff concluded that the
EIR remains adequate to allow this project to go forward.
C/Shah asked if the City was required to place a memo to the file to that
effect and CDD/Gubman responded that staff memorialized this in the
resolution and the ordinance that will adopt the extension of the
Development Agreement.
C/Shah moved, C[Torng seconded, to approve Development Agreement
Amendment No. PL2011-57, based on the Findings of Fact, and subject to
the conditions of approval as listed within the resolution. Motion carried by

CDD/Gubman reported that the public hearing on this item was closed on
February 28 with direction to staff to prepare a Resolution for Denial for
consideration this evening. Of the six mandated findings to render a
decision on the development review proposal, the consensus was that all
but the second and fifth findings would hold with the proposed changes.
However, the second and fifth finding would no longer be affirmative, but
be negative findings, and because all six findings must be made in the
affirmative to approve a Development Review request, the project must be
denied. Based on the deliberations and direction of the Commission, staff

prepared the Resolution which is attached to tonight's agenda item and
crafted the second and fifth finding to reflect what staff believes were the
Commission's conclusions about how these findings cannot be made. As
a result, he focused his discussion on Finding B and E and recited the
new findings and support of those findings.
ACANVohlenberg reiterated the reasons there would be no further
opportunity for public testimony on this item. ACA/Wohlenberg further
stated that although Commissioner Farago was not yet officially a member
of the Planning Commission he was present for the entirety of the hearing
on this matter and has read the materials that are on the record. The City
Attorney has stated that based upon this information, Commissioner
Farago can and may participate and vote on this matter. C/Farago
affirmed that he was in attendance at the February 28, 2012, Planning
Commission hearing on this matter and read all materials associated with
the project. In addition, he visited the site on March 11, 2012.

APPLICANT: Same as above
Summary
The applicant is requesting Development Review (DR) approval to construct a 434 square
foot room addition to the front and southwest side of an existing two-story 2,751 square foot
single family residence. A Minor Conditional Use Permit (MCUP) is also requested to
maintain an existing nonconforming distance of thirteen (13) feet between the subject
residence and the neighboring house to the north (15' is required).
The proposed addition will be located on the front of the residence (at the southwest corner)
and will provide for a new living room and office. The new addition to the living room will
have a two-story volume with large windows and cathedral ceilings. .
After evaluating the application, staff finds that the proposed project complies with the City's
development standards, and believes that the required DR and MCUP findings set forth in
the Development Code can be made in the affirmative. Therefore, staff recommends that
the Planning Commission approve Development Review No. PL2012-43, based on the
findings of fact, and subject to the conditions of approval contained in the attached
Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
Site Description:
The project site is a 15,260 square foot (0.36 acre) flag lot located at the end of a cul-de-sac
on Paint Brush Lane. In 1977, the property was developed under Los Angeles County
standards with a 2,751 square -foot, two-story home. The new addition is proposed on the
front of the exiting residence.
The property is legally described as Lot 10 of Tract No. 31151, and the Assessor's Parcel
Number (APN) is 8292-016-049.
Project Description
The applicant requests approval to construct a new 434 square foot room addition to the
front and southwest side of the existing residence. The new addition will result in a new
living room and the addition of an office to the first floor. The living room area will be two
stories in height (open volume) and the office will be one story in height.
In conjunction with the new addition, the applicant plans to remodel the interior of both the
first and second floor, including the remodeling of all three bathrooms and the kitchen, and
reducing the residence from a four (4) to three (3) bedroom house. The remodel will not
result in any exterior changes other that the installation of two new windows at the second
story over the garage.
Single family residential homes in the Low Density Residential (RL) zone are required to
have a side yard minimum between adjacent structures of 15 feet. The existing building is
nonconforming due to an existing adjacent structure that is only 13 feet away. The new
addition is not located on the same side as the non -conforming side yard.

ANALYSIS:
Review Authoritv rDiamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Chapters 22.48 and 22.56
The addition to a residence which results in a change to the front elevation requires
Planning Commission approval of a Development Review (DR) application.
Changes to an existing nonconforming structure require the approval of a'Minor Conditional
Use Permit (MCUP) by the Hearing Officer. Because the DR application requires approval
by the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission is reviewing the MCUP application
concurrently.
The MCUP and a DR review process were established to ensure compliance with the City's
General Plan policies, Development Standards, and Design Guidelines to minimize adverse
effects of the proposed project upon the surrounding properties and the City in general.
Development Review
The following table compares the proposed project with the City's development standards
for residential development in the RL zone:

Site and Grading Configuration: The site is on an existing graded building pad and no
grading is required.
Landscaping: A landscape plan is not required for the project because the addition is in an
area already developed and will not have a negative impact on the yard. However, if
landscaping is damaged during construction, it will be required to be restored upon project
completion as indicated in the conditions of approval.
Elevations: The existing architectural style is a 1970s tract home with Dutch gabled roofs,
asphalt shingles, stucco, and wood and stone siding. The new addition will result in a gable roof
at the front elevation with large glass windows and exposed rafter tails resulting in a more
contemporary look to the existing residence. The existing front porch will be removed to allow
for the new room addition, and the existing wood siding and stone work will be removed and
replaced with stucco to match the existing exterior walls. New windows will be installed and are
required to match all existing windows in color and material.
Development Review No. PL 2012-43 Page 4 of 7
Minor Conditional Use Permit
An MCUP is required because of an existing nonconforming separation between structures
on adjacent parcels. Current development standards require a separation of 15 feet
between structures on adjacent parcels. Currently, the separation between the subject
project and the adjacent structure to the north is 13 feet.
The City recognizes that property owners should be allowed to have an addition or make
improvements to their properties, even with nonconformities. Therefore, the City has
established the MCUP process for such additions, subject to the findings set forth in the
Development Code.
Staff believes that approving the MCUP as described above is appropriate and compatible
with other residences in the neighborhood, based on the following facts and observations:
The existing dwelling was built in 1977, prior to the incorporation of the City of
Diamond Bar;
Development Review No. PL 2012-43 Page 5 of 7
• The proposed addition is located at the southwest corner of the residence and will
maintain and not further encroach into the existing nonconforming side setback of 13
feet on the north side; and
• By maintaining the existing nonconforming setback, the proposed project is
consistent with other homes within the neighborhood.
Compatibility with Neighborhood
The proposed project complies with the goals and objectives as set forth in the adopted
General Plan in terms of land use and density. The project will not negatively affect the
existing surrounding land uses, and the design and appearance of the proposed addition is
compatible with the surrounding community.
The project is designed to be compatible and complementary to the neighborhood, and
incorporates the principles of the City's Residential Design Guidelines as follows:
• The addition accentuates the simplicity of the line and form of the existing residence
and provides a restrained and understated elegance as opposed to the overly
ornate.
• The addition will conform with all setback requirements, which is consistent with
other homes in the neighborhood; and
• The addition will be visually integrated with the existing home by using matching
colors and building materials.
Additional Review
The Public Works Department and Building and Safety Division reviewed this project, and
their comments are included in the attached resolution as conditions of approval.
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING:
On March 30, 2011, public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within a 1,000 -

APPLICANT: The Buddhist Education Center for True
Enlightenment — LA Division represented by Suh
Ling Wang, 1405 Bodega Way #5, Diamond Bar,
CA 91765
Summary
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit CUP to allow a place of religious
assembly within an existing, currently vacant, business park tenant space. The subject
property is zoned Industrial (1).
The proposed establishment is known as the Buddhist Education Center for True
Enlightenment, L.A. Division (BECTE-LA); and is currently based in Industry. The
proposed use includes the following components: office hours Monday through Friday
from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.; three classes on Saturdays; and ceremonies once a
month on Sundays.
The applicant would like to establish a religious education center to provide education
as well as proper guidance for participating members. The center proposes to have
office hours Monday through Friday from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., provide three classes
on Saturday, and hold a ceremony once a month on Sunday.
After evaluating the application, staff finds that the proposed Conditional Use Permit
application complies with the City's development standards, and believes that the
required CUP findings set forth in the Development Code can be made in the
affirmative. Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve
Conditional Use Permit No. PL2011-412, subject to the conditions of approval contained
in the attached Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
Site Description
BECTE-LA proposes to locate within the Walnut Business Park, at the northwest corner
of Lemon Avenue and Walnut Avenue. The business park was developed in 1987
under Los Angeles County standards. The 8.03 -acre site is comprised of three parcels
of land developed with three buildings totaling 165,706 square feet. The business park
includes retail uses, professional offices, wholesalers and manufacturing uses. The
proposed location for the requested use is within a first -floor, 3,867 square -foot lease
space within a 56,872 square -foot two-story building.
Project Description
BECTE-LA is a not for profit organization whose mission is to promote awareness and
practice of true Buddhism to the general public through education, cultivation, charity
activities and community involvement. BECTE-LA provides weekly classes and
meditation practices, monthly religious ceremonies, semiannual Chan practice,
continuous distribution of free books, and public education through media and
publications. BECTE-LA is proposed to be open seven (7) days a week, Monday
through Friday from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. (office hours) and Saturday and Sunday
from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. The schedule for BECTE-LA is as follows:
Classes:
Intermediary Class:
The Intermediary class is restricted to members who have completed the beginner
class, a two and a half year program. The first hour of the class is meditation and the
second hour of the class is lecture provided by the instructor. The class has a total of
16 students, one (1) instructor, one (1) teaching assistant and two (2) student
volunteers.
Sutra Class:
The Sutra class is open to the general public and is estimated to have a total of 50 to 60
people that attend. The class is offered in a DVD format with no direct interaction
between the lecturer and the audience. One (1) teaching assistant leads the class and
two student volunteers assist to ensure there are no interruptions or disturbances.
Conditional Use Permit No. PL 2011-412 Page 2 of 7
a
Beginner Class:
The Beginner class is a two (2) hour long class that has a current class size of 30
students, the class is restricted to only those students that have applied to attend. The
first thirty (30) minutes of the class is meditation and the second hour and a half (1'/�) is
lecture. The class will have one (1) instructor, one (1) teaching assistant and two (2)
student volunteers.

Site and Surrounding General Plan, Zoning and Land Uses
The project site is located in the Walnut Business Park at the northwest corner of
Walnut Avenue and Lemon Avenue.

ANALYSIS:
Review Authority (Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Section 22.58)
Planning Commission approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is required for places
of assembly. A CUP is required for uses whose effect on the surrounding area cannot
be determined before being analyzed for suitability at aparticular location.

ANALYSIS:
Review Authority (Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Section 22.58)
Planning Commission approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is required for places
of assembly. A CUP is required for uses whose effect on the surrounding area cannot
be determined before being analyzed for suitability at aparticular location.
Conditional Use Permit No. PL 2011-412 Page 4 of 7
When reviewing a CUP, consideration is given to the location, design, configuration,
operational characteristics and potential impacts to determine whether or not the
proposed use will pose a detriment to the public health, safety and welfare. If it can be
found that the proposed use is likely to be compatible with its surroundings, the
Commission may approve the proposed use subject to conditions stipulating the
manner in which the use must be conducted. If the Commission finds that the proposed
use is likely to be detrimental to the general peace, health, and general welfare, then it
must deny the request.
When a CUP is approved, it runs with the land and all conditions placed on the CUP are "
binding on all successors in interest. In other words, BECTE-LA were to close the
proposed facility after it has begun operating, a new tenant could locate in the space
and operate :the same type of use. The new tenant would be required to comply with
the same conditions as the previous tenant and would not be permitted to expand the
use without full review and approval by the Planning Commission.
Compatibility With Neighborhood
There are forty-six (46) tenant spaces in the Walnut Business Park with various types of
uses, including wholesalers, professional offices, auto body repair, a travel agent, an art
institute, and other light industrial and office uses. The majority of the businesses
operate Monday through Friday with only 6 current businesses open on Saturdays. As
such the operational characteristics of the proposed use are compatible with the various
uses currently operating in the business park.
Parking and Circulation
Multi -tenant sites that do not qualify as a shopping center are required to provide the
aggregate number of parking spaces for each separate use. The Walnut Business Park
is considered a multi -tenant site and, therefore, is required to provide parking based on
each individual use.
BECTE-LA proposes to occupy a 3,867 square foot tenant space. Churches and other
places of worship such as BECTE-LA are required to provide one (1) space for every 35
square feet of gross assembly area. BECTE-LA will be required to provide 110 parking
spaces, based on the gross floor area of tenant space.
When reviewing parking impacts the various uses and peak business hours for those
uses are taken into consideration. The different uses result in a range of peak business
hours and parking demands. The applicant provided -a list of all businesses located in
the business park that included the business name, use, unit square footage, and hours
of operation. Staff has revised this list to also include parking requirements (Attachment
2). A total of 278 spaces are currently required, the site provides 289 spaces. The
majority of business within the business park operate Monday through Friday from 9:00
a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Since BECTE-LA proposes to operate Monday through Friday from
5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. the additional 110
Conditional Use Permit No. PL 2011-412 Page 5 of 7
spaces required for parking will not impact existing businesses or result in a shortage of
parking, therefore, the existing parking supply is adequate and can accommodate the
proposed use.
Staff reviewed the application and determined that a separate traffic and parking
analysis would not be required because the intensification to the center would not
impact existing businesses. In addition, the existing parking supply is adequate and can
accommodate the proposed use.
Additional Review
The Public Works Department and Building and Safety Division reviewed this project
and included their comments in the attached resolution as conditions of approval.
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING:
Public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within a 500 -foot radius of the
project site on March 30, 2012 and the notice was published in the Inland Valley Daily
Tribune and San Gabriel Valley Tribune newspapers on March 30, 2012. The project
site was posted with a notice display board, and a copy of the public notice was posted
at the City's three designated community posting sites.
PUBLIC COMMENT:
At the time the staff report was published, staff had not received any comments from the
public.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
This project has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA). Based on that assessment, the City has determined the project to be
Categorically Exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to the provisions of
Article 19 Section 15301(a) (Interior alterations involving partitions and electrical
conveyances) of the CEQA Guidelines. No further environmental review is required.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution
(Attachment 1) approving Conditional Use Permit No. PI -2011-412, to allow a place of
religious assembly based on the findings of DBMC Section 22.58, subject to conditions
of approval as listed within the draft resolution.

The Detailed Business Plan for 825 S. Lemon Ave Diamond Bar, CA 91789
THE DETAILED BUSINESS PLAN OF THE BUDDHIST EDUCATION CENTER FOR TRUE
ENLIGHTENMENT, LA DIVISION (BECTE-LA)
BECTE-LA is a not for profit organization. Its mother entity, Taipei Buddhist True Enlightenment
Practitioners' Association, was founded by the highly -respected Venerable Pings Xiao in 1997. Venerable
Pings Xiao started by teaching the followers a practice method that enhances practitioners' concentration.
Accompanied by the well -organized classes on the Buddha's teachings, Venerable Pings Xiao has since
helped and guided a lot of practitioners to get enlightened—to realize the true -self that is ever -lasting, the
origin of life. The teaching of the true Buddhist dharma has since spread, more members applied to attend
classes and learn to practice. Subsequently, more divisions were established. The teaching was introduced
world-wide, and a few interested practitioners in the greater Los Angeles area started to gather together and
studied in someone's residence. In 2007, with the growth of participants, it was decided a corporation should
be formed, and the application to the Secretary of State and IRS were approved under the Corporation name
of The Buddhist Education Center for True Enlightenment -LA Division (BECTE-LA). A non-profit
corporation license was issued by the State of California, and Tax-exempt status has been granted to
BECTE-LA. Since the formation of BECTE-LA, the number of the students has increased to 46, with an
audience of approximately 55 for Sutra class in DVD format given by Ven. Pings Man.
In this plan, the components included are mission, purpose, vision, summary of schedules of the classes
provided, and proposed use of the prospect site.
I . The mission of the BECTE-LA is to promote awareness and practice of true Buddhism of the general
public through education, cultivation, charity activities and community involvement. To achieve this
mission, The BECTE-LA organizes weekly classes and meditation practices, monthly religious
ceremonies, semiannual Chan practice, continuous distribution of free books, and public education
through media or publications. With the above mentioned classes, DVD watching, and meditation
practice, the audience will obtain a better understanding of the true Buddhist sutra and the meaning
of true Buddhism; participating members will eventually elevate their level of knowledge towards
Buddhism, be able to apply the knowledge in their daily activities, and achieve higher spirituality. In
addition, the participating members will be able to distinguish the right teaching from the wrong.

2. The purpose of the establishment of the education center is to provide education as well as proper
guidance for participating members. With diligent practice, the participating members can strive to
seek for real -self, hence; ultimately, the participating members can eventually attain enlightenment.
In addition to providing classes to participating members, BECTE-LA also makes its best effort to
introduce the Buddhist teachings to the general public by distributing books written by Venerable
Pings Xiao and the teachers who have been validated by Ven. Pings.
Inheriting the tradition of the mother entity and the teaching of Venerable Pings Xiao, BECTE-LA
makes spreading of True Buddhist Teachings its primary and upmost goal with the most sincere
intention and hope that no Buddhist will ever be misguided and the Buddhists will always be on the
right path to Buddhahood.
3. The vision of the Education Center is to promote societal peace, extend compassion to all man -kind,
and spread true Buddhist teachings by offering classes of different levels that are carefully designed
for practitioners of different stages. Furthermore, it is the founder -Venerable Pings Xiao's wish to
ensure that all those who are interested in the Buddhism have an opportunity to access the true
teachings of the Buddha and be able to inspect all the works of Buddhist masters and thereby stay
away from the wrong teachings. BECTE-LA inherits the Venerable Pings' vision and does its best to
carry out the vision by promoting the true Buddhist teaching by distributing books, offering classes,
and inviting the general public to the Sutra classes.
4. All the classes, meditation sessions, activities, and ceremonies provided by the Center are purely
educational, religious and are free to participate. The mother entity, Taipei Buddhist True
Enlightenment Practitioners' Association owns the membership of the participants; BECTE-LA
collects annual membership fee for the mother entity annually. BECTE-LA also offers a large
selection of free publications, with a rough estimate of 50 books of different titles. Currently, the
classes offered by BECTE-LA take place on Saturdays and religious ceremonies are held on
Sundays. Business hours for the BECTE-LA will be from 5pm to I Opm on Mondays to Fridays, and
9am to 7pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

The size of the prospect site is approximately 3,850 square foot consisting of one decent size
reception area, one large office, one rest room, one small break area with a kitchen cabinet and a
sink, and a large empty area in the back. The projected site was previously used for commercial
purpose—a shoe store; the business grew and therefore the business owner decided to move to a
larger site. There are 2 public restrooms (1 for woman and I for man) in the buildings owned by the
landlord; the public restrooms are located on the second floor right next to the proposed site, and in
addition, there are 4 restrooms (2 for women 2 for men) in the building behind owned by the same

owner; the participants will not experience any inconvenience. The seating arrangement is such that
students/audience will sit on the mats that are laid on the floor prior to the classes, and the class room
will be located in the large empty area in the back of the site, the class room will also be used for
ceremonies and meditation session (worship room); the front of the class room is on the west side of
the large empty room, as indicated on the plan. Small, low chairs are offered to those who are not
feeling well and cannot sit on the floor. The mats are stored away after the classes. The large office
will be used for question/answer sessions between the instructor and students, and it is called a
"Dharma Room". The reception area will remain as reception area to greet students and the general
public. Some desks and tables will be moved in the site; included are 4 bookcases to display the
entire collection of Buddhist Sutras and a whole set of books written by Ven. Pings, tables will be
used in the "Dharma Room" to provide a consultation area, some will be used as computer desks as
well as conference table for the staffs, and some customized stands for Buddha statues, and some
desks to be located in the reception area. Two projector screens will be moved in to the proposed
class room area for the purpose of projecting the texts for classes.
