SP/Laufenburger presented staff's report and recommended Planning
Commission approval of Development Review No. PL2012-43, based on the
Findings of Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed within the
Resolution as revised.
Chen Tang, owner/applicant, explained the request and asked for Planning
Commission approval for his project.
Chair/Lin opened the public hearing.
Richard Abad, 21917 Paint Brush Lane, said he was glad the owner was
improving his home. He asked how long the construction would take and how
much equipment would be parked in the street.
CDD/Gubman responded to Mr. Abad that the City's Municipal Code has
limitations on construction hours so construction may not occur prior to
7:00 a.rn, and construction must conclude by 8:00 p.m., although typically, it
concludes much earlier. Equipment must be limited to the property (be placed
on the premises) and any proposal to stage equipment in the street would
require an encroachment permit from the City's Public Works Department.
Mr. Tang said his contractor told him the addition would take about two and
one-half months so he is planning on three months or more for the construction
period. He further stated that he would make certain the contractors would not
block anyone's driveway. He understands that parking spaces are very limited
on the street.
Chair/Lin closed the public hearing.
VC/Nelson cornmented that Diamond Bar has a long history of making sure that
families that come to. Diamond Bar have the ability to stay in Diamond Bar as
they grow. The Planning Commission has granted approval to many projects
similar to this project where variances were continued because they were
approved under the County of Los Angeles, and he sees no reason not to
approve this request.

CDD/Gubman explained that under the U.S. Constitution when places of
assembly are considered, religious institutions must be treated the way that any
other place of assembly would be treated. Therefore, this project is reviewed
strictly on the basis of the land use compatibility, appropriateness of the use,
and capacity to accommodate the use at the intensity proposed.

application. She believes the center will bring positive impacts to the society.

8. PLANNING COMMISSIONER COMMENTS/INFORMATIONAL ITEMS:
Chair/Lin said he understood the City Council had filed an application without taking
any action on the matter of Foothill Transit's proposal to build a parking structure at the
Park and Ride Facility. CDD/Gubman explained that Foothill Transit is looking at the
existing surface Park and Ride Facility on Diamond Bar Boulevard just south of Sunset
Crossing. There is a very narrow strip on the west side and a larger area on the east
side that abuts the SR60, which is one of the potential lots being considered for a
multi-level Park and Ride Parking structure. There are a number of questions and
issues, one of which is that as part of the SR57/60 "Big Fix" project there would be a
connector that would pass diagonally through that site which would present an
interesting design challenge for placement. Staff is looking at potential opportunities to
create a rnulti-use parking structure elsewhere in the City, particularly at the Kmart site
if there is any opportunity to do a more ambitious redevelopment project because the
City would like to see something at that location which would provide a certain number
of Park and Ride dedicated spaces but also be a multi-purpose parking structure to
accommodate redevelopment of that site.
VC/Nelson asked if there is any additional information staff can release on the Ralph's
site and CDD/Gubrnan responded that the last he heard things were moving forward
but staff has been asked to continue to honor the request of the potential tenant to
keep the details confidential. There may be a larger scale rollout of several stores
opening in the region and the potential tenant asks for the City's assistance with
logistics, permitting requirements, etc. and has provided limited information
accordingly. Other than that, the City is under a gag order.

PLANNING COMMISSION
CDD/Gubman reported that due to lack of quorum/agenda items, the April 24, 2012,
meeting will be canceled. Therefore, tonight's meeting will be adjourned to May 8,
2012, and Commissioners will be advised as the agenda for that meeting takes shape.
CDD/Gubman reminded Commissioners that the Ethics Training is next Thursday,
April 19 at the Diamond Bar Center. The City Clerk will provide information on the
training as well as the opportunity to take the ethics training through an alternative
venue including online training.
CDD/Gubman updated the Commission on the Shell Station project. The City is
moving forward with filing civil action against the property owners for failing to perform
the work and will be seeking an injunction in civil court and as a follow up to that
request, is asking the Court to order the project to be completed. Staff will also be
requesting that the judge turn the property over to a receiver to ensure completion of
the project. Once the project has gone through the legal channels and if the City
prevails, construction should be taken over by the Court ordered receiver and the
project should be completed within about three months. Once completed, the property
will likely be sold to an individual or company that has the ability to provide the cash
down payment and have the necessary license work in place to begin resuming
business.

Summary
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow a tutoring center in an
existing 1,322 square -foot unit located towards the south end of Diamond Hills Plaza. A
Conditional Use Permit is required for specialized education businesses in the C-2
zone. The existing unit is currently vacant.
The applicant proposes to relocate an existing home based tutoring business to a new
retail location to expand their existing. services. Pine Edu is a tutoring center that
specializes in helping students with the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and well as other
standardized testing for high school students. The applicant proposes two different
operation schedules that coincide with the school year. During the school year Pine
Edu will operate Monday through Thursday from 12:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., Friday by
appointment only and Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. During school vacations
Pine Edu will operate Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturdays
from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The proposed tutoring center is compatible with other
businesses in the Diamond Hills Plaza, and shares similarities with uses, such as the
music schools, taekwondo studio, and child daycare center.
After evaluating the application, it is staff's conclusion that the proposed Conditional
Use Permit application complies with the City's development standards and that the
required Conditional Use Permit 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. PL2012-86, subject to the conditions of approval
contained in the attached Resolution.
-• l
The applicant proposes to occupy an existing 1,322 square -foot unit located at the
south end of Diamond Hills Plaza, a 17.2 -acre shopping center located at Diamond Bar
Boulevard between Cold Spring Lane and Fountain Springs Road. The shopping center
consists of retail, restaurants, fast-food take-out, professional offices, an AAA office
building (under separate ownership from the remainder of the center) totaling 166,922
square feet of floor space, and a new 36,142 square -foot, three-story professional office
building at the north end of the center.
The shopping center developed incrementally over time since the early 1970s.
In 2008, the first phase of a major renovation was completed at Diamond Hills Plaza.
The planned build -out of the renovation included an exterior- fagade remodel for the
former theatre building and removal of two buildings at the southerly end of the center
(the currently proposed freestanding daycare building and a multi -tenant shop building)
to facilitate the construction of a three-story medical office building. A two-story
retail/office building was also approved on the vacant pad at the north end of the
shopping center.
In 2009, the three story medical office and two story retail/office building projects were
terminated, and the Planning Commission approved plans to renovate the existing two
buildings instead. In addition, the Planning Commission approved the demolition of the
theatre building and the construction of a new inline shop building in its place. On
February 15, 2011, a new three story professional office building was approved by the
City Council in place of the two story retail/office building and is currently under
construction.
The project site is legally described as Lot 3 of Parcel Map No. 18722, and the
Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) is 8285-020-034.

The maximum number of students that will be attending classes at the tutoring center at
any one time will be limited to 15 students. The applicant states there will be 4-6
classes per session and that each class will consist of one instructor and two (2) to
three (3) students per class, for a total of up to 15 students at a time. In addition to the
15 students, there will be a maximum of 5 employees on site for a total of 20 people on
site at any one time.
The proposed floor plan includes four (4) classrooms, a reception area, lounge area,
study room, office, restroom, lunch room and two (2) storage rooms.
Proposed Floor Plan
Review Authority (Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Section 22.58)
A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is required for uses whose effect on the surrounding
area cannot be determined before being analyzed for suitability at a particular location.
The C-2 zone requires approval of a CUP for specialized education businesses.
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, if the owners of the proposed
tutoring center were to close the business after it has begun operating, a new tenant
could locate in the space and operate the same type of tutoring center. The new tenant
would be required to comply with the same conditions as the previous tenant and would

Parking and Circulation
Shopping centers over 50,000 square feet in size are required to provide one parking
space for every 300 square feet of gross floor area. Diamond Hills Plaza and the AAA
office building (under separate ownership), the new three-story professional office
building, as well as the child daycare center have a shared parking agreement. The
existing gross floor area of the shopping center excluding the AAA office building is
183,056 square feet, therefore, requires 690 parking spaces. The AAA office building is
20,000 square feet, therefore, requires 50 spaces. A recycling facility occupies
3 spaces, and there are specialized education and training uses as well as foot
massage services that generate additional parking demand. The proposed learning
center requires a minimum of 12 parking spaces per the Development Code. There are
926 spaces provided on-site, and will exceed the requirement by providing a surplus of
171 spaces. However, based on the business proposal, there will be a maximum of
20 persons at the location at any one time. Because there is a surplus of parking
spaces, staff does not foresee any parking issues resulting from the proposed use.
Parking Requirement
When reviewing parking impacts on shopping centers, the various uses and peak
business hours for those uses are taken into consideration. The existing shopping
center has uses ranging from restaurants, offices, personal services, retail, and

When reviewing parking impacts on shopping centers, the various uses and peak
business hours for those uses are taken into consideration. The existing shopping
center has uses ranging from restaurants, offices, personal services, retail, and
Conditional Use Permit rage o or
No. PL 2012-86
specialized education and training uses. The different uses result in a range of peak
business hours and parking demands. A supplemental traffic and parking assessment
was prepared by Linscott, Law & Greenspan for the approved child daycare center. This
assessment stated that the peak hours and parking needs do not conflict with existing
uses, allowing for adequate parking for each use within the shopping center. Since the
proposed tutoring center requires 20 additional parking spaces, staff does not foresee
any parking supply or traffic and circulation issues resulting from the proposed use. The
existing parking supply is adequate and can accommodate the proposed learning
center.
In a worst-case — although unlikely — scenario, the business would require a maximum
of 35 parking spaces due to the transition period between lessons (i.e., 15 students
arriving, plus 15 students departing and 5 staff members). Staff does not foresee a
parking issue because there would still be a surplus of 150 parking spaces. Staff
reviewed the application and determined that a separate traffic and parking analysis
would not be required because the intensification to the center- would be negligible. In
addition, the existing parking supply is adequate and can accommodate the proposed
learning center.
Compatibility With Neighborhood
The shopping center has a numerous diversity of uses, including a grocery store,
restaurants, professional offices, an AAA office building, and other retail and service
uses. In addition, there are three specialized education businesses located at Diamond
Hills Plaza: Soma Music School (approved on November 14, 2006), Orchepia School of
Music (approved on May 11, 2010), and Y.I.0 Taekwondo (formally Olympian
Taekwondo approved on September 14, 2004). As such, the operational characteristics
of the proposed learning center are compatible with the existing uses in the shopping
center.

Based on the findings and conclusions set forth herein and as prescribed
under Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Sections 22.58 this Planning
Commission hereby finds and approves as follows:
Conditional Use Permit Review Findings (DBMC Section 22.58)
1. The Proposed Use is allowed within the subject zoning district with the
approval of a conditional use permit and complies with all other
applicable provisions of this Development Code and the Municipal
Code;
Pursuant to DBMC Section 22.10.030, Table 2-6, a specialized
education and training and non -degree school is perrnitted in the C-2
zoning district with approval of a conditional use permit. Through
compliance with the conditions of approval stipulating the manner in
which the use must be conducted, the Proposed Use will be compatible
with neighboring uses in the shopping center.
2. The Proposed Use is consistent with the general plan and any
applicable specific plan;
The Proposed Use is consistent with General Plan Strategy 1.3.3:
("Encourage neighborhood serving retail and service commercial uses')
in that the proposed learning center meets Strategy 1.3.3 because the
proposed tutoring center provides services to Diamond Bar residents.
The Project Site is not subject to the provisions of any specific plan.
3. The design, location, size and operating characteristics of the Proposed
Use are compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity;
2
Planning Commission ResolOon No. 2012 -XX
The Proposed Use is located within a multi -tenant shopping center
occupied by various restaurants, office, and similar uses such as two
music schools, taekwondo studio, and child daycare center. As such,
the operational characteristics are compatible with the existing uses
within the shopping center.
Through compliance with the conditions of approval stipulating the
manner in which the use must be conducted, the Proposed Use will be
compatible with the other uses within the shopping center.
4. The subject property is physically suitable for the type and
density/intensity of use being proposed, including access, provision of
utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and the absence of
physical constraints;
The Project Site is located within an existing commercial shopping
center that currently has similar educational uses such as two music
schools, taekwondo studio and a child daycare center and learning
center.
The Proposed Use is physically suitable with the subject site because it
will be located in an existing building and no additional square -footage
is being proposed. Additionally, the Proposed Use is intended to
operate within an existing shopping center and will be using existing
access and parking in the shopping center.
5. Granting the conditional use permit will not be detrimental to the public
interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or injurious to persons,
property, or improvements in the vicinity and zoning district in which the
property is located; and
Prior to the issuance of any city permits, the Proposed Use is required
to comply with all conditions of approval within the attached resolution,
and the Building and Safety Division,
6. The Proposed Use has been reviewed in compliance with the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as set forth under Article
19 Section 15301(x) (Interior alterations involving partitions and
electrical conveyances) of the CEQA Guidelines.

Summary
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow a fitness studio (doing business
as Happy Dance Fitness) in an existing 2,300 square -foot unit located towards the north end
of Diamond Hills Plaza. A Conditional Use Permit is required for health and fitness facilities
in the C-2 zone. The existing unit is currently vacant.
The applicant proposes to provide instruction in "Zumba," a Latin dance -inspired fitness
program. The applicant is proposing to operate Monday through Saturday. The proposed
studio is compatible with other existing businesses at Diamond Hills Plaza, and shares
similarities with uses such as the music schools and the taekwondo studio.
After evaluating the application, it is staff's conclusion that the proposed Conditional Use
Permit application complies with the City's development standards and that the required
Conditional Use Permit 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. PL2012-44, subject to the conditions of approval contained in the attached
Resolution:
BACKGROUND:
The applicant proposes to occupy an existing 2,300 square -foot unit located at the north end
of Diamond Hills Plaza, a 17.2 -acre shopping center located at Diamond Bar Boulevard
between Cold Spring Lane and Fountain Springs Road. The shopping center consists of
retail, restaurants, fast-food take-out, professional offices, an AAA office building (under
separate ownership from the remainder of the center) totaling 166,922 square feet of floor
space, and a new 36,142 square -foot, three-story professional office building at the north end
of the center.
The shopping center developed incrementally over time since the early 1970s.
In 2008, the first phase of a major renovation was completed at Diamond Hills Plaza. The
planned build -out of the renovation included an exterior facade remodel for the former theatre
building and removal of two buildings at the southerly end of the center (the currently
proposed freestanding daycare building and a multi -tenant shop building) to facilitate the
construction of a three-story medical office building. A two-story retail/office building was also
approved on the vacant pad at the north end of the shopping center.
In 2009, the three story medical office and two story retail/office building projects were
terminated, and the Planning Commission approved plans to renovate the existing two
buildings instead. In addition, the Planning Commission approved the demolition of the
theatre building and the construction of a new inline shop building in its place. On February
15, 2011, a new three story professional office building was approved by the City Council in

Review Authority (Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Section 22.58)
A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is required for uses whose effect on the surrounding area
cannot be determined before being analyzed for suitability at a particular location. The C-2
zone requires approval of a CUP for a health and fitness facility.
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, if the owners of the proposed Zumba
fitness studio were to close the business after it has begun operating, a new tenant could
locate in the space and operate the same type of business. The new tenant would be
required to comply with the same conditions as the previous tenant and would not be
permitted to expand the studio without full review and approval by the Planning Commission.
Parking and Circulation
Shopping centers over 50,000 square feet in size are required to provide one parking space
for every 300 square feet of gross floor area. Diamond Hills Plaza and the AAA office
building (under separate ownership), the new three-story professional office building, as well
as the recently approved child daycare center have a shared parking agreement. The
existing gross floor area of the shopping center excluding the AAA office building is 183,056
square feet, therefore, requires 690 parking spaces. The AAA office building is 20,000
square feet, therefore, requires 50 spaces. A recycling facility occupies 3 spaces, and there
are specialized education and training uses as well as foot massage services that generate
additional parking demand. The proposed Zumba fitness studio requires a minimum of 17
parking spaces per the Development Code. There are 926 spaces provided on-site, and will
exceed the requirement by providing a surplus of 166 spaces. However, based on the
business proposal, there will be a maximum of 42 persons at the location at any one time.
Because there is a surplus of parking spaces, staff does not foresee any parking issues
resulting from the proposed use.

Parking Requirement
When reviewing parking. impacts on shopping centers, the various uses and peak business
hours for those uses are taken into consideration. The existing shopping center has uses
ranging from restaurants, offices, personal services, retail, and specialized education and
training uses. The different uses result in a range of peak business hours and parking
demands. A supplemental traffic and parking assessment was prepared by Linscott, Law &
Greenspan for the recently approved child daycare center. This assessment stated that the
peak hours and parking needs do not conflict with existing uses, allowing for adequate
parking for each use within the shopping center. Since the proposed fitness studio requires
42 additional parking spaces, staff does not foresee any parking supply or traffic and
circulation issues resulting from the proposed use. The existing parking supply is adequate
and can accommodate the proposed fitness studio.
Staff reviewed the application and determined that a separate traffic and parking analysis
would not be required because the intensification to the center would be negligible. In
addition, the existing parking supply is adequate and can accommodate the proposed fitness
studio.
Compatibility With Neighborhood
The shopping center has a numerous diversity of uses, including a grocery store, restaurants,
professional offices, an AAA office building, and other retail and service uses. In addition,
there are three specialized education businesses located at Diamond Hills Plaza: Soma
Music School (approved on November 14, 2006), Orchepia School of Music (approved on

Conditional Use Permit No. PL 2012-44 Page 5 of 6
May 11, 2010), and Y.I.0 Taekwondo (formally Olympian Taekwondo approved on
September 14, 2004). As such, the operational characteristics of the proposed fitness studio
are compatible with the existing uses in the shopping center.
