CDD/Fong stated that the owner was out of the country and requested the
public hearing be continued to April 11, 2006.
Chair/McManus opened the public hearing.
Henry Lee, 364 Prospectors Road, presented the Commission with a letter
signed by residents who are concerned about the restaurant and would like
for the commission to revoke their permit. Mr. Lee said he was not sure that
he would be available to return on April 11, 2006, for the public hearing.
Mr. Lee stated that he believed Scribbles was violating their Conditional Use
Permit by allowing loud rap groups that drew unsavory elements to the
community. Vehicles have been vandalized and open containers of alcohol
are being strewn about the cul-de-sac area at the end of Gentle Springs
Lane. Patrons of the restaurant have been observed vandalizing the entry
gate, parking illegally in the complex, urinating on the premises and female
patrons have been observed changing their clothes. He and his neighbors
are very upset because Diamond Bar is a family community and children are
present.
Ming Wen Su said she lives close to the gate and every weekend (Thursday,
Friday and Saturday) the music is so loud that it vibrates herwindows. She is
a speech and hearing scientist and used her sound meter to measure the
decibels. In front of her door she measured the sound at 84 decibels and
closer to the restaurant it was at about 120 decibels. People who live on the
same side of the complex as she complain that they are unable to sleep at
night and even when she sleeps on the opposite side of her unit she can
hear the loud music vibration. She says she frequently calls the, police to
complain and the police tell her that the business was not just a restaurant
but a disco pub as well. When the department sends officers the business

turns off the music and when the officers leave the music starts up again.
She said the Sheriffs Office encouraged her to call each time there is a
problem but after several months of nothing being done they feel, helpless.
Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday the complex has to shut down their
gate to keep.the patrons out. One weekend a group was hanging out in the
parking lot and walked toward the car so she felt like she had to drive away.
She has seen groups try to force the gate open and she and her neighbors
can detect the odor of burning marijuana. Her father asked them to stop and
they retaliated by shaking cars in the parking lot until the alarms went off.
She said it happens on a frequent basis and she and her family are very
concerned for their safety. Some of her 'neighbors feel they must move out
because they cannot live under these conditions.
Chair/McManus asked the speakers to come back to the meeting on April 11
and bring as many of their neighbors as possible so that the City would be
able to get their concerns on the record.
VC/Nelson asked Ms. Su to give an example that was equivalent to 84
decibels. Ms. Su said that 84 decibels was equal to honking traffic in a large
city and 120 decibels would be equivalent to standing next to a moving train.
Mrs. Su responded to C/Everett that the bass sound records at 84 decibels
at her door.
Mr. Lee stated that some of the residents told him last night that they had
been verbally accosted by patrons of the bar demanding that the resident
open the complex gate and allow them into the parking lot.
C/Torng asked staff if there were similar Conditional Use Permits in the City.
He recommended that at least one Sheriffs Deputy be asked to join the
April 11, 2006, meeting. CDD/Fong responded that as indicated in staffs
report, the approved entertainment for this facility is limited to a DJ and
dancing only within the banquet room and not within the main bar and
restaurant areas. She believed that according to the police report the
restaurant has gone beyond the City's approval. Most certainly the Sheriffs
Department will be available on April 11 to provide testimony as well. The
Sheriffs Department personnel were not present tonight because the
applicant requested continuance to April 11, 2006, and the applicant must be
given due process to respond to the issue of public safety. On April 11, 2006,
staff will provide the Commission with a presentation that includes evidence
of possible non-compliance, response to public safety, police reports, etc.
MARCH 14, 2006

The speakers are invited to bring all of their information to the April 11, 2006,
meeting so that it can be included, in the report.
C/Lee asked if noise levels exceeding levels allowed under the Municipal
Code could be considered a public safety hazard and CDD/Fong responded
that thecode indicates a maximum decibel level that a business is allowed to
generate.
e. If the decibels are exceeded the business must provide noise
attenuation inside of the building to meet the minimum noise standards.
C/Lee asked if noise could be considered a violation of the Conditional Use
Permit. CDD/Fong responded that this forum gives the Planning Commission
the opportunity to determine whether the applicant meets the noise
ordinance standards under the Conditional Use Permit that was granted by
the Planning Commission and if the Commission determined that the
applicant did not meet the standard the Commission could impose additional
conditions or revoke the Conditional Use Permit.
C/Everett asked staff to include the detail of reported incidents in their
April 11,. 2006, report and indicate whether crimes occurred as a result of
those incidents. He felt it would be also helpful to have feedback provided by
the Los Angeles County Fire Department because of the reference to the
department handling a possible safety hazard/code violation on July 22,
2005. CDD/Fong stated that due to the confidential nature of incident reports
staff is allowed to provide only a certain amount of information with respect to
incidents.
C/Torng asked why the Planning Commission should not suspend the
Conditional Use Permit at this time based on the applicant's non-compliance
and ACA/Wohlenberg explained that Conditional Use Permits are considered
"land use entitlements" and the City must observe due process before
permits can be reduced or revoked. The public hearing process allows all
sides to present their evidence and because the reports are not complete
and the applicant is unavailable the City could not take any action to reduce
or revoke the permit at this time.
Chair/McManus asked if the Sheriffs Department had records back to 1995
and CDD/Fong said she believed so although only one year's worth of
service calls would be considered. Chair/McManus felt that the evidence
should reflect the history of complaints over the past number of years.
Without objection, Chair/McManus declared the public hearing continued to
April 11, 2006.

Site Description:
The project site is located on the corner of Bower Cascade Place and El Encino Drive.
The lot is approximately 8,890 square feet, rectangular, shaped and has a descending
slope on the Bower Cascade Place side. The project site is developed with a two-story
residence of approximately 2,730 square feet with a two -car garage and deck above the
garage that extends to the residence creating a breeze -way below. According to the tract
map, there are no easements within the project site.

ANALYSIS:
A. Development Applications/Review Authority (Code Sections 22.44)
The application request is to add approximately 780 habitable square feet plus
deck with patio below, lattice covered patio and one -car garage to an existing
residence of 2,730 square. The addition is less than 50 percent of the habitable
area and could be approved by staff with a Plot Plan review. However, the
proposed project requires Development Review because of the extensive interior
remodel and architectural change.
B. Development Review (Code Sections 22.48)
The purpose of Development Review is to establish consistency with the General
Plan through the promotion of high aesthetic and functional standards to
compliment and add to the economic, physical, and social character of the City.
The process also ensures that new development and intensification of existing
development yields a pleasant living, working, or shopping environment and
attracts the interests of residents, workers, shoppers, and visitors as the result of
consistent exemplary design.

side.
2. Architecture
The City's Design Guidelines have been established to encourage a better
compatible building and site design that improves the visual quality of the
surrounding area through aesthetically pleasing site planning, building
design, and landscape architecture. Additionally, a primary objective is to
promote compatibility with adjacent uses in order to minimize any potential
negative impacts.
The existing architectural style is English Colonial. The proposed
architectural style is Country French. Architectural features include bay
windows, arched front entry flanked with two columns and wainscoting of
ledge stone in variegated earth tones with molding. Proposed colors are
earth tones (i.e. sandstone for stucco, terra cotta roof tile, and white for
trim). The proposed architectural elements, colors and materials will add
DR 2006-08 Pa6e 3
interest to the streetscape and decrease the massiveness and monotony of
blank stucco walls. The proposed design is consistent with other homes in
the neighborhood and improves the visual character through the use of
quality design.
3. Floor Plan Layout
The existing two-story residence has five bedrooms, three bathrooms,
family room, kitchen with breakfast area, living room, dinning room, two -car
garage and deck. The proposed remodel and addition will reconfigure the
floor plan to include five bedrooms, four bathrooms, entertainment room,
entry, kitchen, dining room, family room, additional one -car garage, deck
with patio below and lattice covered patio.
4. Grading/Drainage
The project - site contains a- -buildable pad. Therefore;- grading is not
required. Drainage patterns and techniques shall be reviewed and
approved by the Public Works. Department prior to any permit issuance.
Drainage shall not be conveyed to adjacent parcels.
5. Driveway (Code Sections 12.04 and 22.30)
The applicant is requesting to widen the existing driveway to accommodate
the proposed one -car garage. The allowed driveway width for a garage
setback less than 24 feet is 20 feet. The existing garage is setback 20 feet
and the driveway is already 20 feet wide. Therefore, it is required that the
driveway remains 20 feet wide and curve to a wider width meeting the
opening of the proposed one -car garage.
6. Landscaping
A landscape plan was not submitted with this project's application. The
applicant is required to submit a final landscape/irrigation plan prior to the
issuance of any City permits. The final landscape plan is for yards, adjacent
to the streets, which will be affected by construction. The landscape plan
shall include plant species, location, size and quantity and hardscape. All
landscaping and irrigation shall be installed prior the final inspection and
Certificate of Occupancy issuance.
C. Additional Review
The City's Public Works Department and Building and Safety Division reviewed
this project. Their recommendations are within the attached draft resolution.

D. The Proposed Addition to the Existing Single Family Residence
1. Architectural Features and Colors: The proposed improvements will
encompass the entire structure (existing and new). The architectural style
can be described as "Ranch" style with lightweight grey concrete roof tiles,
horizontal light blue wood sidings and stucco to match existing.
The project architectural design and color palette are compatible with the
eclectic architectural styles within the neighborhood and consistent with
the City's General Plan, Municipal Code, and Design Guidelines.
2. Floor Plans: As previously noted, the existing one-story dwelling contains
1,280 square feet of habitable space, and the applicant proposes to
construct an 829 square foot addition. The proposed first floor addition will
contain a bedroom expansion, closet, and stair case. The existing
residence's first floor includes a kitchen, family room, living room, 2 -
bathroom, 3 -bedroom and an existing 2 -car garage. The proposed second
floor addition will contain a master bedroom/bathroom/ sifting area, and
stair case, which will connect the first and second floor.
3. Landscaping: Replacement and/or restoration of landscape is required
prior to the Planning Division's final inspection.

Recommend approval of the Tentative
Parcel Map to the City Council.
In June 2004, the City Council approved a General Plan Amendment, Zone Change,
Development Agreement, and Specific Plan with the purpose of guiding and facilitating
a 70 -acre mixed-use development located at the southwest corner of Grand Avenue
and Golden, Springs Drive.
The Diamond Bar Village Specific Plan includes a maximum of 170,000 square feet of
commercial development, a maximum of 200 residential units, and a master plan of
50,000 square feet of institutional use for the Calvary Chapel and 25.5 acres of open
space.
On April 26, 2006, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit
No. 2005-03 and Development Review No. 2005-16 for the development of the 13.69 -
acre Target site, a sub area of the Specific Plan designated for commercial uses.
Approval of the project was conditioned on the submittal of a parcel map and separate
development review applications for the smaller restaurant pads. The applicant was
allowed to submit the Tentative Parcel Map application after approval of the Conditional
Use Permit and Development Review to allow work on the Target project to begin
earlier.
The Tentative Parcel Map involves a request to subdivide Lot 1 of Parcel Map 14819,
which encompasses the northern portion of Sub -Planning Area 1. The purpose of the
request to subdivide the property is to allow Target to sell proposed Lot nos. 2 and 3 to
facilitate future restaurant development on those parcels.
ANALYSIS:
A. Site and Proiect Description: The Tentative Parcel Map proposes to subdivide
Parcel 1 of Parcel Map 14819 into three smaller parcels. Parcel 1 will be an
11.98 -acre site for the 130,660 -square -foot Target store currently under
construction. Parcel 3, a 1.02 -acre site, will be located on southwest corner of the
larger site and is designated for a 5,000 -square -foot retail pad. Parcel 2, a 1.02 -
acre site located on the northeast corner of the larger site, will be for the 6000 -
square -foot retail/restaurant pad. Both Parcel 2 and Parcel 3 will have frontage
on Golden Springs Drive and will be accessed from the common on-site driveway
that circles the original Lot 1 on the southwest and southeast sides providing
ingress and egress points on Grand Avenue and Golden Springs Drive. A second
driveway will be located on Grand Avenue adjacent to the easterly property line
of Parcel 2.
B. Site Uses: In the Diamond Bar Village Specific Plan, the entire project site is
designated as "Commercial-Retail/Institutional' which permits the same variety of
OA
permitted and conditionally permitted retail and service uses as those permitted
in the C-3 zone. The Specific Plan, development standards permit up to 170,000
square feet of commercial -retail and. 50,000 square feet of institutional
development in Sub -Planning Area 1. The proposed subdivision is consistent
with the Specific Plan uses and permitted building square footage.
C. Parking and Access: On April 26, 2005, the Planning Commission approved
Development Review No. 2005-16 and Conditional Use Permit No. 2005-03 for
the Target project, which included development of the project site with the Target
store and the two retail/restaurant pads. The project was found to be consistent
with the parking requirements in the Development Code for retail and restaurant
uses. Target is currently constructing all of the parking lot improvements for the
original 13.69 -acre site. As part of the Tentative Parcel Map approval, the
applicant will be required to form a property owner association for maintenance
of the parking lot landscaping and other common improvements. Approval is also
conditioned on provision of reciprocal parking and access agreements for the
three newly created lots.
D. Environmental Review: On June 29, 2004, the City Council approved an
Addendum to the previously certified Final Environmental Impact Reports for the
related General Plan, Zone Change, Development Agreement, and Diamond Bar
Village Specific Plan for the site. The Specific Plan document includes a
conceptual site plan that shows the subject site with a major tenant at the
western portion and secondary tenants on small pads on the northwest and
southwest corners of the original Parcel 1. The proposed Tentative Parcel Map is
consistent with the conceptual site plan layout. Per the Development Agreement,
the project must comply with the Mitigation Monitoring Program approved under
the Final EIR and the developer must pay their fair share of impact fees and
address the traffic mitigation. No new environmental issues have been identified
and none of the elements set forth in Public Resources Code Section. 21166 or
Section 15162 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines (CEQA)
exist. Therefore, no further environmental review is required.

On March 17, 2006, notice of public hearing for this project was published in the Inland
Valley Daily Bulletin and the San Gabriel Valley Tribune. In addition public hearing
notices were mailed to approximately 332 property owners within a 700 -foot radius of
the project site. Further, the project site was posted with a display board and the public
hearing was posted in three public places.

2
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2006 -XX
aoRaFr
Tentative Parcel Map Findings
(a) The proposed subdivision including design and improvements is
consistent with the General Plan and the Diamond Bar Village
Specific Plan.
The General Plan land use designation for the project site is Specific
Plan. The adopted Specific Plan for the project area is the Diamond
Bar Village Specific Plan which designates the site for commercial
and retail uses and includes a conceptual site plan fordevelopmentof
the site. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the distribution,
type, and intensity of uses displayed on the conceptual site plan. The
proposed subdivision is also consistent with the minimum lot sizes
established by the Specific Plan.
(b) The proje6t site is physically suitable for the type and proposed
density of the development.
The project site is approximately 13.69 acres. TPM 061702 proposes
to subdivide the site into three parcels for the purpose of facilitating
the development of Parcels 2 and 3. On April 26, 2005, the Planning
Commission approved Conditional Use Permit 2005-03 and
Development Review No. 2005-16 for an approximately 130,000 -
square -foot retail store, parking lot and two retail/restaurant pads on
for the site. Parcel I will be an approximately 11.98 -acre site and will
encompass the retail store currently under construction. Parcels 2 and
3 will be 1.02 and .69 -acres respectively. The subdivision is
consistent with the Specific Plan conceptual site plan in the
distribution, intensity, and type of uses proposed for the site.
(c) The design of the subdivision or the propose improvements is not
likely to cause substantial environmental damage or injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat.
On June 29, 2005, the City Council approved an addendum to the
previously certified final environmental impacts reports (EIRs) for the
related General Plan, Zone Change, Development Agreement, and
Diamond Bar Specific Plan. The addendum and related Final EIRs
analyzed whether the proposed map would cause substantial
environmental damage or injure fish or wildlife or their habitat The
Specific Plan included a conceptual site plan that shows the
development of the site. The proposed subdivision is consistent with
the conceptual site plan contained in the Diamond Bar Village Specific
Plan. Consequently, the proposed subdivision is consistent with the
project analyzed under the previously approved addendum and Final
EIRs. No new environmental issues have been identified relating to
3
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2006 -XX
fish and wildlife and their habitat that would require additional review
for the proposed subdivision.
(d . The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to
cause serious public health or safety problems.
The previously approved addendum and Final EiRs related to the
project analyzed potential public health and safety impacts from the
design of the subdivision and improve ' ments associated with the
project. No new environmental issues have been identified relating to
public health or safety problems. Therefore, the proposed subdivision
is not likely to cause serious health or safety problems.
(e) The design of the subdivision or types of improvements will not
conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access
through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. This
finding may not be made if the review authority finds that alternate
easements for access or use will be provided, and that they will be
substantially equivalent to ones previously required by the public.
The proposed map is located on private property and, therefore, access
easements within the project site are private property. Access to the
site will be through entry driveways on Grand Avenue and Golden
Springs Drive. The site does not have any easement acquired by the
public for access or use within the project site.
(f) The discharge sewerage from the proposed subdivision into the
community source system would not result in violation of existing
requirements prescribed by the California Regional Water Quality
Control Board.
The proposed map is required to be compliant with Regional Water
Quality Control Board requirements, the Federal Clean Water Act,
and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
program implementing construction —related Best Management
Practices (BMPs) and Standard Urban Stormwater Mitigation Plan
(SUSMP) criteria. With project design features related to the storm
drain system, energy dissipaters, standard conditions of approval,
mitigation measures, any potential significant water quality impacts
would be reduced to levels less than significant
(g) A preliminary soils report or geological hazards report does not
indicate adverse soils or geological conditions and the subdivision has
provided sufficient information to the satisfaction of the City Engineer
or Council that the conditions can be corrected in the plan for the
development.
4
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2006 -XX
The previously approved addendum and Final EIRs related to the
project analyzed potential adverse soils and geologic conditions
impacts from the design of the subdivision and improvements
associated with the project. The map is consistent with the project
analyzed under the addendum and Final EIRs and no new
environmental issues have been identified relating to public health or
safety problems. Therefore, the proposed subdivision is not likely to
cause significant impacts related to adverse soils or geologic
conditions.
(h) The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable provisions
of this Title, the Development Code, any other applicable provisions of
the Municipal Code, and the Subdivision Map Act.
The proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan and
Diamond Bar Village Specific Plan land use designation. It will be
graded in compliance with the City's applicable hillside management
standards. The physical size and design of the proposed subdivision
will allow for compliance with all applicable standards in the
Development Code. The proposed map is consistent with Title 21, the
City's subdivision ordinance, and the Subdivision Map Act
requirements as conditioned in this resolution.

Recommend for approval to the City
Council
BACKGROUND:
At the November 8, 2005, public hearing, the Planning Commission recommended
approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2004-:01, Development Review No. 2004-19,
and Variance No. 2004-02 to the City Council for renovation of an existing shopping
center and construction of two new buildings on a site located at the intersection of
Cold Springs Road and Diamond Bar Boulevard. At the December 6, 2005, public
hearing, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2005-60 approving the project.
The Conditional Use Permit approved the renovation of a 45,031 -square -foot
supermarket building, 21,400 -square -foot Rite Aide, and 65,154 square feet of in-
line buildings for retail and restaurant uses with outdoor dining. The Conditional Use
Permit also approved the conversion of an existing building to allow for a new drive-
through caf6, demolition of an existing child care center and a retail building at the
south side of the site to allow for the construction of a new 49,100 -square -foot three-
story medical office building in the same location. Lastly, the Conditional Use Permit
approved construction of a 12,408 -square -foot two-story building for office an
restaurant uses on the vacant pad at the north side of the site.
Variance No. 2004-02 allowed an increase of the height of the proposed towers of
the main building from the maximum 35 feet up to 49 feet. Development Review was
approved for the project layout, landscaping, design of the fagade renovation on the
existing main building, the architectural design of the two-story office restaurant
building, and the architectural design of the three-story medical/office building. For
more information, see the attached Planning Commission and City Council staff
reports.
ANALYSIS:
A. Proposed Amendment: The applicant is proposing to amend Condition
No. 5.A (3) of City Council Resolution No. 2005-60. The condition was placed
in the resolution to ensure that the anchor market space was occupied before
start of construction of the new buildings. The applicant proposes to modify
the condition to remove the timing constraints for construction of the two-story
office/restaurant building and allow issuance of building permits for
construction of the three-story building once the market tenant submits plans
for interior remodel. He stated that removing the timing constraints would
allow him to relocate existing tenants into the two-story building during
renovation of the main in-line building and to speed up the development
process to allow completion of the project in 2007.
Staff believes that the request to allow construction of the two-story office
building before completion of the fagade renovation is reasonable. This would
allow for less disruption of the operation of businesses of the existing tenants
during the construction process. However, staff recommends. that the
renovation of the existing buildings from the market tenant through the retail
2
building to the building with the new drive-through caf6 should be
substantially complete before issuance of the final Certificate of Occupancy
for the market. Staff recommends that Condit -ion No.. 5.A (3) be revised as
follows:

building.
Staff believes that the revised condition will allow the existing tenants to
occupy the two-story building during construction and allow the construction
of the three-story building to begin sooner. At the same time, the revised
condition of approval will ensure that the proposed fagade and site
improvements will be completed and market occupied before the occupancy
of the three-story building.
B. Environmental Review: The City Council approved a Mitigated Negative
Declaration for this project on December 6, 2005. The proposed Modification
to the conditions of approval will not create additional environmental impacts
over those reviewed in the Mitigated Negative Declaration and will not change
the project description from that in the approved Mitigated Negative
Declaration.

On March 17, 2006, notice of public hearing for this project was published in the
Inland Valley Daily Bulletin and the San Gabriel Valley Tribune. In addition public
hearing notices were mailed to approximately 332 property owners within a 700 -foot
radius of the project site. Further, the project site was posted with a display board
and the public hearing was posted in three public places.
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission ission conduct a public hearing to review
the project and upon conclusion of the public hearing, forward a recommendation of
approval to the City Council through the adoption of the attached resolution.

regulation which makes it obviously impractical to require compliance
with the development standards.
5
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2006 -XX
SORAFT
The proposed modification will result in a change in the timing of
construction of the approved project and will not change the
circumstances applicable to the site or the project description.

property owner for which the Variance was granted.
(o) Granting the Variance is consistent with the General Plan and any
applicable specific plan.
The proposed modification will result in a change in the timing of
construction of the approved project and will not change the project

Approval of the Modification affects only the timing of the 'construction
and not the circumstances which warranted the variance. Therefore,
the proposed modification would not be detrimental to the public
interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City because
the proposed project is required to comply with all conditions within
the approved resolution and the assurance is through the plan check,
permit and inspection process.
(q) The proposed entitlement has been reviewed in compliance with the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 15070.
A Mitigated Negative Declaration was approved for the project on
December 6, 2005, finding that the project, with the implementation of

(f) The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the
provisions of the Californian Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
15070.
The proposed project would result in potentially significant impacts to
the air quality, cultural resources, hazardous materials, noise and
traffic/transportation. However, after implementation of the Mitigation
Program, all potential impacts would be mitigated to a less than
significant level. A copy of the mitigation program is attached hereto
and incorporated herein.
Development Review
(g) The design and layout of the proposed development are consistent
with the general plan, development standards of the applicable
district, design guidelines, and architectural criteria for special areas
(e.g. theme areas, specific plans, community plans, boulevards or
planned developments).
The design and layout of the proposed p r6jed, th 6'h e w design of the
facade for the existing buildings are consistent with the General Plan,
Development Code and Design Guidelines.
(h) The design and layout of the proposed development will not interfere
with the use and enjoyment' of neighboring existing or future
developments, and will not create traffic or pedestrian hazards.
The proposed project is to renovate an existing shopping center and
the construction of two new office buildings. The design and layout of
the existing buildings and the two new office buildings will not interfere
with the use and enjoyment of existing surrounding uses. However,
the two new office buildings will have an increase in traffic. Based on
the mitigation program, the applicant is .required to improve the
southbound approach on Diamond Bar Boulevard at the intersection
of Cold Springs Lane with a re -striping of a third through lane and a
contribution of $79,593 for the projects share of the cost in funding
future road improvements needed to alleviate cumulate impacts to
traffic. The existing access for the shopping center will be improved
further to provide for safe pedestrian walkway and address handicap
accessibility.
(i) The architectural design of the proposed development is compatible
with the character of the surrounding neighborhood and will maintain
and enhance the harmonious, orderly and attractive development
contemplated by this chapter, the general plan, or applicable specific
plan.
The proposed renovation together with the new buildings will create
an aesthetically pleasing environment.

improvements in the vicinity.
Variance
The proposed- development will not -be detrimental to the public
health, safety or welfare or materially injurious to the properties or
improvements in the vicinity. The proposed project will improve the
value of the properties and provide positive impact to the City.
The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 15070.
The proposed project would result in potentially significant impacts to
the air quality, cultural resources, hazardous materials, noise and
traffic/transportation. However, after implementation of the Mitigation
Program, all potential impacts would be mitigated to a less than
significant level. A copy of the mitigation program is attached hereto
and incorporated herein.
There are special circumstances applicable to the property
(e.g., location, shape, size, surroundings, 'topography, or other
conditions), so that the strict application of the City's Development
Code denies the property owner privileges enjoyed by other -property
owners in the vicinity and under identical zoning districts or creates an
unnecessary and non -self created, hardship or unreasonable
regulation which makes it obviously impractical to require compliance
with the development standards.
L•.
The site is unique because it is constrained by a grade difference of
more than 20 feet from the street grade of Diamond Bar Boulevard
which deters visibility of the center from the street The existing car
wash at the comerof Cold Springs Lane and Diamond BarBoulevard
and the two story office building at the comer of Fountain Springs,
Road and Diamond Bar Boulevard also contribute to poor visibility of
the center. No other existing centers in the City have this visibility
problem. The various towers at the main building are more than 200
feet away from the westerly residential area. The two story building at
Fountain Springs Road sits 5 feet below street grade. Therefore, the
view from the northerly residential area would see only 30 feet in
height of the building. The three story medical off7ce building behind
the car wash site is 28 feet below Diamond Bar Boulevard street
grade and only the third story of the building would be seen from
Diamond Bar Boulevard.
(n) Granting the Variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of substantial property rights possessed by other property
owners in the same vicinity and zoning districts and denied to the
properlyownerf6f -Mkh the Variance is
As referenced above in Item (m), granting the Variance is necessary -
for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property 'rights
possessed by other property owners in the same vicinity and zoning
districts.
(o) Granting the Variance is consistent with the General Plan and any
applicable specific plan.
Due to the constraints of the project site being more than 20 feet
below Diamond Bar Boulevard street grade, approving this Variance
will be consistent with the General Plan. The project area does not
have a specific plan.
(p) The proposed entitlement would not be detrimental to the public
interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.
Approval of the Variance would not be detrimental to the public
interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City because
the proposed project is required to comply with all conditions within
the approved resolution and the assurance is through the plan check,
permit and inspection process.
(q) The proposed entitlement has been reviewed in compliance with the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 15070.

A. October 25, 2005 Study Session and Public Hearing: At the study session,
the Planning Commission questioned the more than 24 percent of floor
area designated for food users and restaurants. The also questioned
whether there are sufficient traffic mitigations, the type of tenants that
would go into the center and who is the market tenant and pedestrian
connections The applicant, Mike McCarthy, responded that he is working to
get a grocery store for the major tenant space. He stated that he has
strong interests from Asian markets and restaurants. Approximately more
than a dozen residents or tenants attended the study session.
Following the study session, the Commission held a public hearing and
received public testimony. There were eleven speakers who are either
surrounding residents or tenants of the c ' enter. Their concerns ranged
from the deteriorated _Q_Qn it! -n -s..- f-th-e— e.nter,_th_e__neede_d._ buffering- for__th_e______,_.
residential areas a-- nid - thi&height of - the three 'story medical - al building- The
Commission continued the public hearing to November 8th meeting, which
was requested by the applicant to -allow him time to work with staff in
refining the conditions of approval.
B. Proiect Background Information: Country Hills Towne Center was constructed
under Los Angeles County* standards under one or more conditional use permits
prior to City's incorporation. In April 1988, a Conditional Use Permit (CUP No.
87-002) including development plans were issued by the County, which
confirmed the existence of the center. However, with the vacation of the Alpha -
Beta supermarket caused by the merging of two supermarkets, the center has
been on a downward spiral in its vitality since early 1990's.
In October 2003, applicant, Mike McCarthy of Country Hills DB, LLC, purchased
Country Hills Towne Center with the intent of renovating and revitalizing the
shopping center. He initially submitted the application for the renovation
proposal in May of 2004 and staff found it to be incomplete for processing. While
the applicant was revising the development proposal, he continued to actively
market the site for a supermarket tenant and other tenants. In October 2004, the
applicant responded in a letter assuring the City that he is working diligently to
sign a supermarket tenant and obtain the necessary City approvals for the
renovation and revitalization of the Country Hills Towne Center. In March 2005,
the applicant submitted a revised proposal for review. Staff has been working
with the applicant and his professional team to prepare the application and the
development plans ready for Planning Commission and City Council review. To
date, the applicant is not ready to announce the supermarket tenant or other new
tenants for the center.

ANALYSIS:
A. Existing Site_., Conditions: The project site is 18.36 acres in size and fully
developed, with the exception of a small vacant graded lot on the northern side of
the site. The existing gross floor area of the center is 169,777 square feet. The
car wash at the corner of Fountain Springs Road and Diamond Bar Boulevard
and the two story office at the corner of Cold Springs Lane *and Diamond Bar
Boulevard as well as the existing AAA office building are not part of the project
site and have separate property owners. Vacancies in the center are high.
Complaints have been received about the site's property conditions, which could
use improvements and upgrades. Also, the site is constrained by a grade
difference of more than 20 feet below the street grade, which negatively affects
the visibility of the shopping center.
B. Proiect Descriptions: The proposed project includes the renovations of the
facade of a 45,031 square feet supermarket building; the existing 21,400 square
feet Ride Aide store; and the 65,154 square feet of existing in-line buildings for
retail and restaurant users with outdoor dinning area. The proposed project also
includes the demolition of the existing child care center and a retail building at the
south side of the site in order to allow for the construction of a new 49,100
square feet three story office/medical office building. The vacant graded pad at
the north side of the site will allow the construction of a 12,408 square feet two
story building for office and restaurant. Upon project completion, Country Hills
Towne Center will have a total of 221,083 square feet of gross floor area. The
following table compares the existing with the proposed square feet:

C. Site and Surrounding Uses: The General Plan and Zoning for the site is
Commercial and Neighborhood Commercial District (C-1), respectively. The
north, south and west sides of the site are predominately single family homes.
The shopping center is physically separated from the westerly residential area by
the existing Brea Canyon Channel. The east side of the site is existing
condominiums.

ZC 2004-01/CUP 2005-01/DR 2004-19NAR 2004-01
October 25, 2005
D. Application and Review Authority: The proposed project requires four
applications, namely Zone Change, Conditional Use Permit, Development
Review and Variance. A Zone Change requires City Council approval, and the
Conditional Use Permit, Development Review and Variance require Planning
Commission approval. According to Section 22.48.030 of the Development
Code, all applications shall be processed- simultaneously by the highest review
authority. For this project, the Planning Commission is a recommending body
and will forward a recommendation to the City Council. The City Council is the
final highest review authority.
E. Zone Change No. 2004-01: The current General Plan land use designation for
the site is Commercial and the zoning is Neighborhood Commercial District (C-
1). The applicant requests to change the zoning from Neighborhood Commercial
(C-1) to Community Commercial (C-2). Under the General Plan Land use
desimation of Commercial, it allows a range of commercial zoning from
Neighborhood;- Community ---to- Rbgi-dffbl. --'- Iff-this 6a"80, the - M-8hge- from'
Neighborhood to Community Commercial is acceptable and appropriate because
of the location of the site, which fronts on to a major boulevard and the size (over
18 acres) of the shopping center. A Community Commercial zone will allow a
wider range of use that may include computer stores, banquet facility, health
club, indoor entertainment, auto parts sales, grocery stores, furniture and
appliance stores, and garden supply stores. Typically, these stores and services
would attract a broader range of population.
F. Conditional Use Permit No. 2004-01: The renovation of and the addition to the
shopping center requires a Conditional Use Permit per Section 22.10.30 of the
Development Code. Further the conversion of a portion of the existing building to
a new drive-thru caf6 requires a Conditional Use Permit.
G. Development Review No. 2004-19: The purpose of Development Review is to
implement the objectives of the General Plan which states, "Ensure that new
development and intensification of existing development yields a pleasant living,
working, or shopping environment and attracts the interest of residents, workers,
shoppers, and visitors as the result of consistent exemplary design."
1 Site Design and Access: The main entry of the center is off Diamond Bar
Boulevard and the proposal includes renovation with new entry monument
signs, a wider landscape median and a water feature. At the
recommendation of the City's traffic consultant, the entry will include two
lanes for egress and ingress which provides a safer condition for
pedestrian and vehicular traffic. The existing secondary access off
Fountain Springs Road will remain with no changes. The secondary
access off Cold Springs will be relocated further west and provide a
smoother entrance to the shopping center and the medical office building.
The loading/service driveway will remain toward the back of the shopping
center.

October 25, 2005
In response to the Commission concerns regarding pedestrian
connection, the applicant is willing to add pedestrian walkway from
the public sidewalk to onsite. The applicant will be providing
pedestrian connection from the three story medial office to the
building that backs up to Diamond Bar Boulevard.
2. Landscaping: The main entry off Diamond Bar Boulevard with its wide
landscape island and a water feature will provide an attractive aesthetic
entry statement. No changes are proposed for the parking lot. The entire
length of the frontage of the stores from the market building to the day
spa/retail building does not include. landscaping. The applicant fears that
adding trees within the parking lot and along the store frontage will further
negatively impact the visibility of the center because of the grade
difference from the street. Staff believes that landscape treatment should
be included to provide shade within the parking lot; improve the pedestrian
environment; and, enhance the aesthetic appearance of the center. Staff
recommends the following changes, which can be conditioned. Staff is
agreeable to work with the applicant to address the proposed conditions:
a. Provide tree wells within the parking lot to include small and slow
growing trees.
b. Find locations along the storefronts for landscape areas where a
cluster of trees could be planted.
C. Provide vine pockets in front of building columns.
d. Provide pedestrian amenities such as but not limited to seating
benches, street furniture, free standing planter pots and landscape
areas for the patio area that connects to the breezeway.
3. Building Design: The existing architectural style for the shopping center is
contemporary with red tile roof, tower elements, a colonnade of square
columns and stucco material. The applicant proposes to re -skin or
renovate the existing buildings with the following elements:
a. The main building from market to spa: Modify and add new towers
for the east elevation (front). The towers are raised in height, and
they vary from 40 feet to the highest at 49 feet. The towers are
treated with decorative metal accents and stacked stone materials.
Beside the traditional pitch roof towers, flat roof towers are added at
various locations to provide a variety and interest. No upgrades or
architectural treatment are proposed for the west (rear) elevation
except for the addition of a pop -out element at the breezeway area.
Staff believes architectural elements should be applied to all sides
of the building to have a total design and that at a minimum the
5
ZC 2004-01/CUP 2005-01/DR 2004-19NAR 2004-01
October 25, 2005
entire length of the west elevation (rear) should have cornice
treatment at the top of the parapet. A condition of approval is
placed in the attached resolution.
In response to the concern from the resident, the applicant is
willing to add landscaping along the rear of the center and will
provide new roof screen wall to screen existing roof
equipment.
b. The existing building that backs up to Diamond Bar Boulevard: The
renovations include adding a drive—thru lane for a caf6, which
necessitates a retaining wall. Again, traditional towers are added to
the building. Staff recommends that a flat roof tower element be
added over the pick up window. The added tower with fascia area
will allow for the placement of a sign and provide more visibility
from Diamond Bar Boulevard for a future caf6 tenant. A condition
of approval is placed in ;the
staff the attached resolution and sta"Is-
agreeable to work with the applicant in the final design.
C. The two story office/retail/restaurant building and three story
medical office building: The architectural style of the two new
buildings is similar. They consist of flat roof treated with cornice
elements, stucco walls with stacked stones as a wainscot. Staff
believes that the design is compatible and adds aesthetic value to
the entire center.
4. Parking Analysis: According to Section 22.30.050 of the Development
Code, a Shared Parking analysis, is required if the total number of required
parking spaces is more than the number of parking spaces provided. A
Shared Parking Analysis was submitted to City's consultant for review and
the results were summarized in the following table:

October 25, 2005
According to the results of the shared parking analysis, the total number of
parking spaces needed at peak time, which is defined as a weekday at
1:00 pm or weekend at 8 pm, is 1,003 spaces (Exhibit "E"). According to
our consultant, the practice under Urban Land Institute for shared parking
is to have a minimum of 5 percent above the peak demand with a total of
1,053 spaces. The site has 1,012 parking spaces. The applicant has
submitted a letter (Exhibit "D") stating that the 1,012 parking spaces
provided on site are more than adequate to support the center. The
applicant stated that the traditional shopping experiences have evolved to
be more of life style centers where shoppers patronize as opposed to one
retailer per trip.
Staff agrees that 1,012 parking spaces are adequate to support the
center. To ensure that the center would not have a parking problem, the
Planning Commission could place a cap on the total square footage for
restaurant use. Also, a condition could be in place where the applicant
would submit a plan to address the issue subject to staff review should
there be a parking problem.
5. ajags: A condition of approval in the attached draft resolution requires a
new Planned Sign Program for the shopping center. The Planned Sign
Program will include monument signs, tenant signs and directory signs.
There is an existing pylon sign at the entry off Diamond Bar Boulevard
which is legal conforming. It is recommended that the existing pylon sign
at the entry off Diamond Bar Boulevard be removed, or a variance
application process is required to leave it in place, which can be
addressed at a later date.
6. Lot Line Adjustment: The property consists of 20 parcels. The property
lines for the market building and the three story office building must be
adjusted so that they do not traverse the buildings.
H. Variance No. 2004-02: The proposed towers for the main building range from
40 feet to 49 feet. The two story office and restaurant building adjacent to
Fountain Springs Road is 36 feet high at the setback line and 40 feet at the
parking lot. The three story medical building is 54 feet high at the top of the
equipment screen wall. The maximum building height allowed is 35 feet, hence
the variance application.
The site is unique because it is constrained by a grade difference of more than
20 feet from the street grade of Diamond Bar Boulevard which deters visibility of
the center from the street. The existing car wash at the corner of Cold Springs
Lane and Diamond Bar Boulevard and the two story office building at the corner
of Fountain Springs Road and Diamond Bar Boulevard also contribute to poor
7
ZC 2004-01/CUP 2005-01/DR 2004-19NAR 2004-01
October 25, 2005
visibility of the center. No other existing centers in the City have this visibility
problem. The various towers at the main building are more than 200 feet away
from the westerly residential area. The two story building at Fountain Springs
Road sits 5 feet below street grade. Therefore, the view from the northerly
residential area would see only 30 feet in height of the building. The three story
medical office building behind the car wash site is 28 feet below Diamond Bar
Boulevard street grade and only the third story of the building would be seen
from Diamond Bar Boulevard.
Staff believes the site is unique because of the grade constraints that no other
shopping centers in the city experiences. The strict application of the code would
deny the property owner of the same privileges enjoyed by other property owners
of shopping centers. Staff recommends the Planning Commission grant the
building height variance.
I. Environment Review and Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration: The
- -- -, -- - - - - - 1-1-, provisions _f the _. ifo project
has been reviewed - pursuant to the provisions o the Cal rnia I nvironme'n-tal
Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15070. The Mitigated Negative Declaration's review
period began September 23, 2005, and ends October 25, 2005. The proposed
project would result in potentially significant impacts to the air quality, cultural
resources, hazardous materials, noise and traffic/transportation. However, after
implementation of the Mitigation Program, all potential impacts would be
mitigated to a less than significant level. Therefore, staff recommends the
issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration.
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING:
On September 23, 2005, notice of public hearing for this project was published in the
Inland Valley Daily Bulletin and the San Gabriel Valley Tribune. In addition, public
hearing notices were mailed to approximately 332 property owners within a 700 -foot
radius of the project site. Further, the project site was posted with a display board and
the public hearing was posted in three public places.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission conduct a public hearing to review the
project; upon conclusion of the public hearing, forward a recommendation of approval to
the City Council through the adoption of the attached resolutions.

RE: Conditional Use Permit No.
Dear Ms. Fong,
MCC Realty Management ("MCC") would like to suggest that the City Diamond Bar consider modifying
the Conditional Use Permit to allow the applicant to pull a building permit for the 2 story mixed-use
building ("Mixed -Use") and the 3 story professional office building ("Professional Office Building"), so
long as Hmart (anchor tenant) submits its interior plans to the City of Diamond Bar for plan check
purposes. Once Hmart submits its interior plans, then the City of Diamond Bar can be assured that the
anchor tenant is effectuating its business plan.
By enabling MCC to pull a building permit early, MCC can then complete the Country Hills Town Center
within the next 12 to 24 months. Otherwise the construction activity could spread over a 3 to 4 year period.
Additionally, a handful of existing tenants have expressed interest in relocating to the new buildings. In
some cases, we have committed the existing tenant's space to another retailer and would need to complete
the new building in a timely manner in order effectuate the existing tenant's relocation.
