APPLICANT: 21008 Lycoming Street (Lot 7, Parcel A of Tract No. 2166) Diamond Bar, CA 91765 Cathleen Miller 721 Brea Canyon Road, Suite #7 Diamond Bar, CA 91789 Farmer Boys Food, Inc. 3435 14`h Street, Suite #102 Riverside, CA 92501 AssocP/Lungu presented staff's report. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2000-01, Minor Conditional Use Permit No. 2000-05, Development Review No. 2000-04, Comprehensive Sign Program No. 2000-0 11 1, Findings of Fact, and conditions of approval, as listed within the resolution. C/Tye questioned the peak hour traffic counts. DCM/DeStefano explained that traffic engineers look at the proposed land use and utilize a standard procedure for determining the number of trips generated by that use which takes into account employees, customers, delivery vehicles, etc. The next step is to determine where the peak or peaks will occur, based upon the land use, and what impacts those peaks will have to the adjacent intersection. With respect to reciprocal parking, he explained that since incorporation, Diamond Bar has attempted to better plan for present and future land uses. Where it can, the . City encourages through conditions or requires, through standards, that projects align parking June 13, 2000 PAGE 3 PLANNING COMMISSION lots, create dual utilization driveways, and have encouraged projects to form shared parking agreements and shared access agreements. Enrique Alvarez, Alvarez Design, said he read staff's report and concurs with the conditions of approval. He asked for reconsideration to provide a 6 -inch curb with a berm and landscaped turf in the driveway area in place of the 42 -inch block wall to .provide. a larger turning radius for larger vehicles. He said he is concerned that vehicles will hit and damage ,the block wall. He further requested that within the agreement, the word "parking" be stricken from "access parking" and indicate that this would be negotiated at the time of the adjacent development. VC/Zirbes asked if Mr. Alvarez would have any objection to conditioning employee parking to occur in spaces 20 through 36 to which Mr. Alvarez responded "not at all." VC/Zirbes asked if the applicant would consider adding one or two handicap parking spaces. Mr. Alvarez explained that it may be possible to allow one or two additional handicap parking spaces. He said he needs to consider the impacts of the driveway widening. He explained that one handicap space is required for every 40 parking spaces. He will attempt to provide additional spaces. DCM/DeStefano responded to VC/Zirbes that deletion of the word "parking" in Condition (o). would not change the intent of the General Plan philosophy because this specific applicant is proposing well above the minimum number of spaces. Staff would encourage and recommend that such a condition be applied to this type of project. In response to questions regarding the site plan and building location, Mr. Alvarez explained to VC/Zirbes that the main building entrance faces east, the dining area faces north and the kitchen area faces south. At the request of C/Ruzicka, Mr. Alvarez again explained his request for reconsideration of the block wall area. AssocP/Lungu stated that the Code requires screening of cars from the street - by berm or by landscaping, or combination thereof. The berm would have to be at least 36 inches with landscaping on top of the berm. Mr. Alvarez responded to C/Ruzicka that this requirement is met in his example. The landscape plan would.provide a section through the drive-through so that the actual height of the berm and hedges can be seen in comparison to a vehicle. June 13, 2000 PAGE 4 PLANNING COMMISSION. DCM/DeStefano indicated the code requires that this type of drive-through lane be blocked from view up to about 36-42 inches in height. The most permanent way of providing this blockage is through the block wall barrier between the drive-through lane and the street. The code does permit, in the alternative, a berm with landscaping. Staff is not completely satisfied with the most recent examples of landscaping being utilized for that purpose and therefore, has recommended the block wall. The block wall does not have to be 10 feet away from the property line. It could be 8 feet away providing a couple of extra feet of maneuvering room for the larger vehicles. If the Commission wishes to consider the landscaping alternative, then at the appropriate time, staff would ask the Commission to direct staff to work with the applicant toward that end and incorporate a doubling of either the species size or quantity currently proposed.. DCM/DeStefano stated that with respect to orientation of the building on the lot, staff is recommending that the project be approved as it has been proposed. Staff has worked with the applicant to create modifications to the overall site plan. The building and noisiest aspects of this use are furthest away from residential properties. Therefore, staff believes that the proposed building orientation is most appropriate. Mr. Alvarez requested that he be allowed to work with staff to provide more detailed landscape plans to show how it will conform to the City's codes. Chair/Nelsoti opened the public hearing. Ignacio Covarrubias, 805 Windwood Drive, asked the Planning Commission to deny this permit request because the project will create further traffic congestion. Mr. Covarrubias presented photographs illustrating Metrolink related parking problems on Washington Street. Linda Jansen, 21151 Lycoming Street, said she would like to have something nice at that corner but not a fast food restaurant. Of the 20 neighbors she spoke with, all were opposed to this project. She complained about the potential 24-hour odor of cooked hamburger and the potential for increase in crime. If this business does not succeed, Diamond Bar will be left with an abandoned drive-through at the end of her street. She asked the Planning Commission to deny the 'project. Makis A. Havadjias, owner of Farmer Boys, Inc., said that his restaurant is not strictly a fast food business and its clientele are mainly professional. He explained that his firm intends to be a good neighbor and he invited the residents to patronize his establishment. DCM/DeStefano reiterated the explanation for the number of proposed trips to the site. June 13, 2000 PAGE 5 PLANNING COMMISSION 6. There being no further testimony offered, Chair/Nelson closed the public hearing. In response to Chair/Nelson, Mr. Havadj,ias explained how the restaurant's exhaust system and how it will prevent odors from entering the atmosphere. He stated that he wants the neighbors to be pleased with the restaurant and to enjoy the facility. Mr. Alvarez indicated to Chair/Nelson that the restaurant will contain more filters than are required by code and only the highest quality micro filers will be used. No filter will eliminate an odor, but it will minimize the odor. Following discussion, C/Ruzicka moved to approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2000-01, Minor Conditional Use Permit No. 2000-05, Development Review No. 2000-04, Comprehensive Sign Program No. 2000-01, Findings of Fact, and conditions of approval as listed within the resolution with the amendment that the block wall height be relocated two feet or to allow a berm with landscaping as directed by staff. VC/Zirbes asked C/Ruzicka to amend his motion to add a condition requiring employee parking to occur in spaces 20 through 36 and to encourage the applicant to increase the number of handicap parking spaces from two to three, if possible. C/Ruzicka amended his motion accordingly. Chair/Nelson seconded the amended motion.

Following discussion, C/Ruzicka moved, VC/Zirbes seconded, to approve a resolution finding that the FY 2000-2001 Capital Improvement Program is in conformance with the General Plan.

DCM/DeStefano responded that staff will forward VC/Zirbes' comment to the City staff and the County of Los Angeles. 10. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS: 10.1 Public Hearing dates for future projects - as listed. 10.2 Industry East Development Project - Response to Draft Environmental Impact Report. DCM/DeStefano reported that on June 5 Diamond Bar presented the City of Industry with a comprehensive 172 page response to the Draft EIR. DCM/DeStefano commented on mitigation measures proposed to the City of Industry to deal with the Metrolink overflow parking on Washington Street. Staff has been directed to take the Washington Street overflow parking matter to the Traffic and Transportation Commission for consideration and recommendation to the City Council. 11. SCHEDULE OF FUTURE EVENTS: As listed in the agenda. DCM/DeStefano stated that staff and the City's consultants are working on amendments to the General Plan's Housing Element. The June 27 Planning Commission is tentatively scheduled for a study session on this item in preparation for a formal public hearing process in the Fall. June 13, 2000 PAGE 7 PLANNING COMMISSION ADJOURNMENT: C/Ruzicka moved, C/Tye seconded, to adjourn the meeting. There being no further business to come before the Planning Commission, Chair/Nelson adjourned the meeting at 9:35 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, James DeStefano Deputy City Manager Attest: Steve Nelson Chairman City of Diamond Bar PLANNING COMMISSION Staff Report AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: 8.1 REPORT DATE: June 13, 2000 MEETING DATE: June 27,2000 CASE/FILE NUMBER: Development Review No. 2000-07 APPLICATION REQUEST: To construct a two-story single family residence with a four car garage, balconies and patio for a total of approximately 12,525 square feet PROJECT LOCATION: 2800 Crystal Ridge Road (Lot 29, Tract No. 47850) Diamond Bar, CA 91765 PROPERTY OWNERS/APPLICANT: Diamond Bar West, LLC 3480 Torrance Boulevard, Suite # 300, Torrance, CA 90503 BACKGROUND: The property owner, Diamond Bar West, LLC is requesting approval of Development Review No. 2000-07 (pursuant to Code Section 22.48.020) in order to construct a two-story single-family with a four car garage, balconies and patio.for a total of approximately 12,525 square feet. The project site is part of a 50 -lot subdivision approved by the City Council on June 6, 1995. It is located at 2800 Crystal Ridge Road (Lot 29 of Tract No. 47850) adjacent to a gated community identified as "The Country Estates".' The project site is a vacant, corner lot (Steeplechase Lane/Crystal Ridge Road) of 1 approximately 33,195 square feet with a pad area of approximately 16,742 square feet. The project site contains easements only for access/public utility and service and sanitary sewer within the front and side portions of the lot adjacent to the street. The slopes at the rear of the lot and adjacent to the street contains minimal landscaping; however this landscaping is not part of the mitigation monitoring vegetation. The project site has a General Plan land use designation of Rural Residential (RR) Maximum 1 DU/AC,and zoning designation of Single Family Residence -Minimum LotSize20,000 Square Feet (R-1- 20,000). Generally, the following zones surround the project site: to the, north is the R-1-20,000 Zone; to the south is the Agriculture (AG) Zone; to the east is the R-1-20,000 Zone; and to the west is the Single Family -Residence -Minimum Lot Size 9,000 Square Feet (R-1-9,000)Zone. ANALYSIS: Development Review The City's Development Code sets forth a Development Review process. The purpose of this process is to establish consistency with the General Plan through the promotion of high aesthetic and functional standards to complement and add to the economic, physical, and social character of the City. The process will also 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. Pursuant to Development Code Section 22.48.020, an application for Development Review is required for residential projects, which involve construction on avacant parcel and new structures, additions to structures, --and reconstruction projects,which are equal to 50 percent or greater of the floor area of existing structure's on site, or have a.minimum, 10,000 square feet of combined gross floor area. The proposed residential project is on a vacant lot with -a gross floor area of approximately 12,522 square feet. As such, this project requires Development Review and the Planning Commission is the review authority. It addition to complying with the City's Development Review process, the proposed project must comply with the conditions of approval for Tract Map No. 47850. A tract map condition of approval requires that residential dwelling units be submitted for the City's review pursuant to the requirements of the Development Review Ordinance. The Development Review Ordinance is incorporated into the City's Development Code. K Development Standards The following is a comparison of the development standards set forth by the City through the map approval process and the project's proposed development standards. CITY/MAP DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS .......... PROPOSED PROJECT'S DEVELOPMENT' STANDARDS Lot 29 Lot 29 Setbacks: Minimum Setbacks: • Front yard - min. 25 ft; from • Front yard 25 ft. from property property line & varying; line (adjacent to Crystal Ridge); • Side yard - 10 & 15 ft. from pad's • Side yard - 10 ft. from pad's edge with 40 ft. between dwelling edge/property line with 42.5 ft. units; between dwelling units & 26 ft. from property line(adjacent to Steeplechase Lane and 20 ft. from pad's edge; • Rear yard 25 ft. from pad's edge; • Rear yard - 60 ft. from pad's edge/property line; Building Height: Building Height: • Two stories -,maximum 35 ft.; • Two stories - 35 ft.; Parking:. Parking: • Two car garage minimum; • Four car garage; (2 -bays - 201x201) (2 -bays 201x20' & 2 -bay 8.51x201) The proposed project complies with all the required City/Map development standards. However, the front setback of the proposed residence is 25 feet, which is the same as the residence on adjacent Lot 30., The Map's devialopment standards require varying front setbacks for adjacent lots. The proposed residence's front setback varies from 25 feet to 39 feet closest to Lot 30.' Additionally, the project site (Lot 29) is a corner lot with the front portion curving in the same direction as Crystal Ridge Road. Therefore, staff believes that the proposed front setback is somewhat varying and certainly gives the appearance of varying for Lot 30's front setback. As such, the proposed setback for Lot 29 is acceptable. 3 Architectural Features and Colors The proposed resid6nce's architectural style is Mediterranean. This style is compatible with previously approved residences within Tract No. 47850 and "The Country Estates" due to the eclectic architectural style that is existing in this area. A materials/colors board has been submitted which delineates the following: # Exterior stucco walls * Roof tile o Facia, bellyband & exterior doors *.Columns, balusters, window trim + Wrought iron rails Merlex P-525, Navajo White (off white) 4 Eagle, Corona 4539, Red (light red) # Dunn Edwards SP 60, Navajo White (beige) Dunn Edwards SP 836, Swiss Coffee (off white) Dunn Edwards SP 511, Oyster (beige) The proposed materials/colors board was compared to boards pre- viously approved for homes on Crystal Ridge Road and Lot 50 located at the corner of Water Course Drive and Steeplechase Lane. The comparison indicates that each lot's color scheme is somewhat similar due to the fact that earth tones are being utilized. However, considering the proposed residence's location, variation in earth tone colors, difference in roof material and variation in architectural styles between the proposed residence and existing residences within the tract, the project will provide a desirable environment with good aesthetic use of materials, textures and colors that will remain aesthetically appealing while offering variety. A proposed prominent architectural feature/focal point of the residence is the front entry with Corinthian type columns supporting,the hip roof. The proposed residence has a side access (facing Steeplechase Lane) adjacent to the morning room. It mimics the front entry, but on -a smaller scale. An interesting aspect of the proposed residence is that the garage entry faces the rear of the project site, thereby not a focal point at the front. Furthermore, architectural treatment extends to all sides of the proposed residential structure. Floor Plan A floor plan is included as part of Exhibit "A". The proposed single-family structure's first floor contains an entry with exterior porch, living room, dining room, kitchen with an M adjacent d ' irty kitchen and butler's pantry, morning room with exterior porch, service area with shoe cabinet and linen closet, family room, with wet bar, theatre, rumpus room, teen room, two bedrooms each with'a bathroom and closet, powder.room, four car garage and exterior patio. The second floor contains two master bedroom suites each with a bathroom and wardrobe, sitting room in one master suite and two balconies. A total of six bedrooms are proposed with a four car garage. The driveway could accommodate three to four additional cars. As a result, staff believes that the number bedrooms in relationship to the number of parking spaces that will be provided are adequate. Grading The buildable pad was created with the tract's original grading. The original pad elevation of 1070 will remain the same for the proposed project. It is expected that grading will be minimal and basically to prepare the project site for the proposed development. If earthwork is 50 cubic yards or more, the applicant will be required to `obtain a grading permit.. Landscaping/Irrigation A landscape/irrigation plan was not submitted with this project's application. The applicant is required to submit a landscape/ irrigation plan within 60 days of the project's final inspection or Certificate of Occupancy issuance for the City's review and approval. This plan is required to reflect the landscape guidelines set forth by Tract No. 47850, plant species, size, quantity and location. Buyers' Awareness Package A condition of approval for Tract No. 47850 requiresthe preparation of a "Buyers' Awareness Package". This includes but is not limited to: • Information pertaining to geologic issues regarding the properties; • Wildlife corridors; • Oak and Walnut tree preservation; • The existence and constraints pertaining to Significant Ecological Area No. 15 and Tonner Canyon; • Explanatory information pertaining to restrictions on use of the properties as necessary; • And, similar related matters. A program was instituted to include delivery of a copy of the "Buyers' Awareness Package" to each prospective buyer. This 5 - program incorporates a signed receipt by the prospective buyer verifying receipt of the package and that the buyer read the information presented within the package. It is also required that a copy of the receipt be forwarded to the City. To ensure the effectiveness of this program, it will be a condition of approval that the applicant submit a copy of the signed receipt to the City prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy or final inspection. In the event the property has not been purchased, the receipt is to be forwarded before approval of future improvements (i.e. hardscape, landscaping, pool/spa, retaining walls, etc..). Additional Review The City's Public Works and Building and Safety Divisions reviewed this project. Their recommendations Are within the attached draft resolution. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: The environmental evaluation shows that the proposed project is consistent with the previously certified Environmental Impact Report No. 91-2 for Tract Map Nos. 47850, 47851 and Act according to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and guidelines promulgated thereunder, pursuant to Section 15162(a) of Article 11 of the California Code of Regulations. NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING: Notice for this project was published in the Inland Valley Bulletin and the San Gabriel Valley Tribune on June 16, 2000.

THE PROJECT SITE IS LOCATED - AT 2800 CRYSTAL RIDGE ROAD (LOT 29, TRACT, NO. 47850),. DIAMOND BAR, CALIFORNIA. A. RECITALS. 1. The property owner/ applicant,' Diamond Bar West, LLC, has filed an application for Development Review No. 2000-07 for a property located at 2800 Crystal Ridge Road, Diamond Bar, Los Angeles County, California. Hbreinafter in this Resolution, the subject Development 'Review shall be referred to as the "Application.". 2. On June 9, 2000, public hearing notices were mailed to approximately 14 property owners of record within a 500 - foot radius of the project and the public hearing notice was posted in three public places within the City of Diamond Bar. On June 16, 2000, notification of the public hearing for this project was provided in the 'San Gabriel Valley Tribune and Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspapers and the project site was posted with a display board. 3. On June 27,'2000, the Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the Application. B. Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, it is found, determined and resolved by the Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar as follows: 1. This Planning Commission hereby specifically finds that all .of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. The Planning Commission hereby finds that the project ,identified above in this Resolution is consistent with the .previously certified Environmental Impact Report No. 91-2 for Tract Nos. 47850, 47851 and 48487 according to the 0 California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) o-fIA-O and guidelines promulgated thereunder,* pursuant tooon Co 15162 (a) of Article 11 of the California CIIAI�.', Regulations. 3. The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds and determines that, having considered the record as a whole including the findings set forth below, and changes and alterations which have been incorporated into .and conditioned upon the proposed project set forth in the application, 'there is no evidence before this Planning Commission that the project proposed herein will have the potential of an adverse effect on wild life resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. Based upon substantial evidence, this Planning Commission hereby rebuts the presumption of adverse effects contained in Section 753.5 (d) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. 4. Based on the findings and conclusions set forth herein, this Planning Commission hereby finds as follows: (a) The project relates to a 50 -lot subdivision approved by the City Council on June 6, 1995. The project site is a vacant, corner lot (Steeplechase Lane/Crystal Ridge Road) of approximately 33,195 square feet with a pad area of approximately 16,742 square feet and pad elevation of 1070. The 'project site contains easements only for access/public utility and service and sanitary sewer within the front and side portions of the lot adjacent to the street. The slopes at the rear of the lot and adjacent to the street contains minimal landscaping; however this landscaping is not part of the mitigation monitoring vegetation. (b)- The project site has a General Plan land use designation of Rural Residential (RR). (c) The project site is within the Single Family Residence -Minimum Lot Size 20,000 Square Feet (R-1- 20,000) Zone. (d) Generally, the following zones surround the project site: to the north is the R-1-20,000 Zone; to the south is the Agriculture (AG) Zone; to the east is the R-1-20,000 Zone; and to the west is the Single Family Residence -Minimum Lot Size 9,000 Square Feet (R-1- 9,000) Zone. (e) The Application request is to construct a two-story single-family with a four car garage, balconies and patio for a total of approximately 12,525 square feet. K DEVELOPMENT REVIEW (f) The design and layout of the proposed development consistent with the applicable elements of the City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines, and 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). Originally, Tract Map No. 47850 was submitted as a vesting tentative tract map. At that time, the City was operating under a draft General Plan. The General Plan was adopted on July 25, 1995. Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 47850 was approved on June 5, 1995. However, this vesting map was designed at 25 percent below the maximum allowable density and has an overall average density of 1.49 dwelling units per acre which complies with the General Plan land use designation of Rural Residential (Maximum 1 DU/AC). Additionally, the proposed project complies with the General Plan objectives and strategies and the City's Design Guidelines related to . maintaining the integrity of residential neighborhoods and open space. Furthermore, the proposed project is compatible with the eclectic architectural style, colors and materials of other homes within Tract No. 47850 and the adjacent "Country Estates." (g) The design and layout of the proposed development will not interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future development and will not create traffic or pedestrian hazards. Tract. Map No: 47850's . Environmental Impact . Report .No. 91-2, certified by the City, addresses the design and layout'of the neighborhood as well as the flow of pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Steeplechase Lane and Crystal Ridge Road and other access roads to the tract adequately serve the project site as presented in the Environmental Impact Report. These private streets are designed to handle minimum traffic created by this gated residential development. Therefore, the use of a contemplated single-family residence will not interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future development and will not create traffic or pedestrian hazards. (h) The architectural design of the proposed development is compatible with the character of the surrounding 3 neighborhood and will maintain the harmoniou&"�.Oerly A. and attractive development contemplca ",% by Chapter 22.48.20. Development Review Standards;v't' Design Guidelines, the City's General Plan, or any applicable specific plan. A proposed prominent architectural feature/focal point of the residence is the front entry with Corinthian type columns supporting the hip roof. The proposed residence has a side access (facing Steeplechase Lane) adjacent to the morning room. It mimics the front entry, but on a smaller scale. An -interesting -,aspect o , f the proposed residence is that the garage entry .faces the rear of the project site, thereby not a focal point at the front. Furthermore, architectural treatment extends to all, sides of the proposed residential structure. Considering the, proposed residence's location, variation in earth tone colors, difference in roof material and variation in architectural styles between the proposed residence and existing residences within'the tract, the project will provide a desirable environment with good aesthetic use of materials, textures and colors that will remain aesthetically appealing while offering variety. Therefore, the architectural design of the proposed development is compatible with the character of the surrounding neighborhood and will maintain the harmonious, orderly and attractive development contemplated by Chapter 22.48.20. Development Review Standards, City Design Guidelines, the City's General Plan. Additionally, as approved the proposed project will be compatible with Vesting Tract Map No. 47850's development standards. The design of the proposed development will provide a desirable environment for its occupants and visiting public as well as its neighbors through good aesthetic use -of materials, --texture, andcolor that will remain aesthetically appealing and will retain a reasonably adequate level of maintenance. As referenced in the above findings and the colors /materials board, the proposed project will provide a desirable environment for its occupants and visiting public as well as its neighbors through good aesthetic use of materials,- texture and color that will remain aesthetically appealing, while offering variety in color, texture and a low level of maintenance. (j) The proposed development will not be detrimental to public health, safety or welfare or materially 0 injurious (e.g. negative affect on propertjr'14ues or resale(s) - of property) to the properLeFS or improvements in the vicinity;. and Before the issuance of any City permits, the proposed project is required to comply with all conditions within the approved resolution and the Building and Safety Division, Public Works Division, and Fire Department requirements. The referenced agencies through the permit and inspection process will ensure that the proposed project is not detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity. (k) The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act .(CEQA); The environmental evaluation shows that the -proposed project is consistent with the previously certified Environmental Impact Report No. 91-2 for Tract Map Nos. 47850, 47851 and 48287 according to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and guidelines promulgated thereunder, pursuant.to Section 15162(a) of Article 11 of the California Code of Regulations.. 5.

Additionally, the request includes accessory structures: tennis court, swimming pool/spa and gazebo. 2515 Crowfoot Lane (Lot 62 of Tract No. 30577) Mark and Tara Kuo P. O. Box 50907 Irvine, CA 92619 Twen Ma Architects 195 Mt. Olive Drive Bradbury, CA 91010 The property owner, Mark and Tara Kuo, and applicant, Twen Ma Architects, are requesting approval to construct a'two-story, single-family residence of approximately 11,427 square feet with basement, balconies, porch; and six -car garage. Additionally, the request includes accessory structures: tennis court, swimming pool/spa and gazebo. The project situs is 2515 Crowfoot Lane near the end of the cul-de-sac (Lot 62 of Tract No. 30577), Diamond Bar, CA, within the gated community identified as "The Country Estates." The parcel is 1.39 gross acres and L24 net acres. It is shaped irregularly, wide at the rear and sloping downward to the street. 1 The project.site is zoned R-1-40,000 for single-family residence. Its General Plan Land Use designation is Rural Residential (RR) 1/du/acre. Generally, the following zones surround the subject site: to the north, south, east and west is the R-1-40,000 Zone. ANALYSIS: REVIEW AUTHORITY/APPLICATIONS Development Review is required per the City's Development Code Section 22.48.020.A(l) for projects involving a Building Permit for new construction on a vacant parcel and greater than 10,000 square feet. The proposed project is residential construction greater than 10,000 square feet; therefore, Development Review is required with the Planning Commission as the review authority. The Variance application, pursuant to Development Code Section 22.54.020, is a request for a rear setback reduction for the tennis court/tennis court lighting. The Planning Commission is the review authority. The purpose of a Variance is to allow for adjustment from the development standards of the Development Code. The adjustment may be granted when special circumstances are applicable to the property (i.e. location, shape, size, surroundings, topography, unreasonable regulations, other conditions, or the strict application of the Development Code) denies the property owner privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity and under identical zoning districts. The special circumstance must create an unnecessary, and non - self created hardship that makes it obviously impractical to reluire compliance with the development standards. The Minor Variance application, pursuant to Development Code Section 22.52.020, is a request to construct chimneys that extend 3.5 feet above the maximum 35 -feet height permitted for a residence. Approval of a Minor Variance allows minimal increases in structure height, projections, and other standards, as well as decreases in building site area, setbacks, distances between structures, and off-street parking. A Tree Permit is required per Section 22.38 to allow the removal and replacement of two existing native California Walnut trees. The review authority for the Minor Variance and the Tree Permit is the Director. Pursuant to Development Code Section 22.48.030, permits shall be acted upon concurrently and the highest authority shall make final determination. In these cases, the Planning Commission is the highest authority.

The description of these standards are listed above in the section titled REVIEW AUTHORITY/APPLICATION. The detailed analysis for the specific development standard adjustments is found further in the report in the sections: VARIANCE and MINOR VARIANCE. • Architectural Features and Colors The proposed project's architectural style as referenced in the application is Mediterranean. The proposed style and palette are compatible with the eclectic architectural style of other homes within Tract.No. 30577 and "The Country Estates," and consistent with the City's Design Guidelines and Development Code. The 3 project's architectural features include the use balconies with precast balustrades; porch and second -story entry with glass and concrete balustrade stair railing; columns; and layering of materials and finishes via the trimmed stucco. The applicant has received the approval of "The Country Estates" Homeowners' Association Architectural Committee. The following materials and colors will be utilized and noted additional colors will be submitted to the Planning Division for review and approval: Painted exterior stucco Exterior trims—: Trim Eaves Pre -cast items Sheet Metal Wood entry/garage ➢ Roof tile ➢ Windows/doors ➢ Driveway concrete Gazebo ® Floor Plans — Lower level, Dunn Edwards, X-56 French Gray — Upper levels, Dunn Edwards, X40 Dove Gray — Dunn Edwards, X-50 Crystal White - Dunn Edwards, X50 Crystal White - Dunn Edwards, 127 Ice Gray - Patina, Antique Bronze - Dunn Edwards, SP836 Swiss Coffee — Auburn, Cape Cod Blend (Gray) - Vinyl White - Color to be submitted - Color to be submitted The proposed single-family structure consists of two -stories and basement. The basement includes the underground six -car garages; laundry; large open area for storage; bath and sauna; elevator and equipment room. The first -story includes the entry/lobby; living room; library; guest bedroom with bath; dining room; kitchen; nook; cook room; powder bath; elevator; family room with wet bar; and 2nd master suite with bath and walk -in -closet. The second -story includes the elevator landing; master bedroom suite with walk -in - wardrobe, bath and sitting room; and four additional bedrooms, two with adjoining baths and walk -in - closets, and two sharing a bath. ACCESSORY USES The accessory structures AND USES include a pool/spa, gazebo, and tennis court. Per the above table the pool/spa and gazebo meet the Development Code standards for setbacks. The tennis court placement is at the 10' line to the rear setback and requires a Variance. VARIANCE • Tennis Court/Fencing and Lighting A residential structure in the R-1-40,000 Zone is required to maintain a 20 foot rear setback per the Development Code. The proposed tennis court is placed with a 10 feet rear setback. The subject site is irregularly shaped, and considering the lot's configuration and the fact the setback reduction is not adjacent to a residence and is indeed abutting the neighbor's tennis court on the east side and dug into the slope on 0 the south side, it is anticipated that the setback reduction impact will be insignificant. Tennis courts are common place in "The Country Estates" and have been approved in the past with similar setbacks. The tennis court with fencing and lighting requires a Variance because, as proposed, it does not comply with development standards specified in the Development Code. A concrete slab (i.e. sports court) does not have specific development standards, nor does it require a construction permit. However, a tennis court is considered an accessory structure due to the needed fencing and lighting, and required construction permit. As an accessory structure, a tennis court is required to maintain the same setbacks as a residential structure (see development standards matrix above). The tennis court does not meet the required setbacks and is requires more than 20 percent reduction. Tennis court fencing is proposed at a height of 10 feet. The fencing is 3/a mesh chain link with green or black vinyl. Since the required setbacks are reduced, a Variance approval is required for the fence height within the required setback. The same setback requirement applies to the tennis court light fixtures.: Since some of the fixtures will be located within the required setback, a Variance approval is also required. The pole light fixtures are proposed at a height of approximately 20 feet. Pursuant to Code, these fixtures are not to be located closer than 10 feet to the adjacent property line and not be located more than 18 feet from the court surface except as approved by a Variance. Staff is recommending the fixtures be required to meet Code at 18 feet, and requests approval for the fencing to be in the reduced setback... Additionally, per the Development Code and incorporated into the attached Resolution are the following lighting requirements: 1. Fixtures shall be of a type that is rectangular on a horizontal plane. The outside of the fixture, arm, and supporting pole shall be coated with a dark, low reflectance material. 2. Light fixtures shall not be located more than 18 feet from the court surface. 3. Not more than one light fixture per 900 square feet of court surface is allowed, with a maximum of eight poles and fixtures per recreational court. 4. Light fixtures shall be supported by an arm extending at least 4 feet from a support pole. 5. Light fixtures shall be designed, constructed, mounted and maintained so that, with appropriate shielding, the light source is completely cut off when viewed from any point five feet or more beyond the property line. The incident light level at a property line shall not exceed one footcandle measured from grade to a height of 12 feet. The incident light level upon any habitable building on an adjacent property shall not exceed .05 footcandle. 6. Recreational court lighting shall not be operated between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. on weekdays and between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. 7. In the event that an illuminated court surface is visible from another parcel, the court surface shall be treated with a low reflectance, dark -colored coating. 5 ITal0few,TARIANCE The Development Code standard for the maximum height for a residential structure is 35 feet as measured from the natural or finished grade adjacent to any point at each exterior wall of the structure to the highest point of the roofline, above and parallel to the natural or finished grade. The proposed project meets this requirement except for the chimneys projecting above the roofline. The Development Code allows for a 10 percent height increase with the Minor Variance application. The chimneys increase the residential structure's height by 3.5 feet or 10 percent. SITE WORK The grading, drainage, and retaining walls necessary for the improvements will be reviewed and permitted by the Public Works Division. The soil's report for this project was submitted concurrently has been approved by the City's Geotechnical Engineer. ® Grading and Drainage The applicant proposes to do site grading, on-site drainage, and retaining walls. Export is necessary with estimated cut of 4,500 cubic yards and fill of approximately 2,200 cubic yards. Per Development Code Section 22.16.030 and 22.28, grading permits are issued with conditions related to air emissions and.noise, thereby minimizing impacts to surrounding properties. The proposed design and use of on-site drains disperse runoff via drainage swales to the front of the lot and rip -rap devices. ® Retaining Walls The retaining walls will be designed to maintain a minimum exposed height. The Development Code allows 6 feet maximum. The plans indicate walls at approximately 3'/z-6 feet. Retaining walls will be required to be ornamental by using stucco or decorative block. ® Septic System There is currently no public sewer system and the City has been notified that the Los Angeles County Health Department for septic system use will impose more restrictive regulations. The Applicant shall show septic tanks location, size and details on the plans. The Los Angeles County Health Department and City Geotechnical Engineer shall approve septic system plans for a new system or reconnection to the existing system prior to the issuance of any City permits. The Owner shall be required to sign and record the City's agreement for use of septic tanks. 9 VIEW R PACT The terrain in the vicinity of Crowfoot Lane and Falcons View Drive is hilly. The subject site slopes to lower elevations than the northerly neighbors do following the southerly -declining slope of Crowfoot Lane. The adjoining properties on the east and west sides are single-family residences. Other properties on Falcons View Drive to the southwest are generally at lowerelevations than the subject house due to the topography of the site. By maintaining the allowed height of 35 feet the proposed residential structure allows view corridors to its neighbors. Therefore, the proposed residence will not have significant detrimental view blockage impact. LANDSCAPING A concept landscape plan, sheet L-1, was submitted for review and approval with this project's application. The applicant is required to submit a final landscape/irrigation plan for the City's review and approval prior to the issuance of any City permits. It will be required that the landscaping/irrigation be installed prior to the Planning Division's final inspection or the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy. Any walls, gates, fountains, etc. that may be proposed within the front setback shall not be in the street's dedicated easement. Any such structure or plant material proposed within this front setback shall not exceed a height of 42 inches. It is recommended and made a part of the Resolution that the trees screening the tennis court at the corner of the house be 36" box trees. The applicant desires to remove the two native walnut trees on-site for the placement of the tennis court. There are many properties on Crowfoot Drive and Falcon's View Drive that have a tennis court. To place the structure at the rear of the property would require excess grading. The current location abuts the neighbor's court and the height of -the fences is consistent with the neighboring property. Therefore, preservation of these trees would compromise the property owner's reasonable use and enjoyment of his property. Pursuant to the Development Code, replacement for these trees is at a 3:1 ratio or a total of six trees. Per the landscape plan, no protected species are listed as replacement trees. It is a condition of approval that the six replacement trees be 36" box and of the native variety from preserved species list: Sycamore, Arroyo Willow, Oak, California Pepper or Walnut. NOTICE OF PUBLIC BEARING: On June 2, 2000, notification of the public hearing for this project was made in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune and Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspapers. Further, forty-seven property owners within a 500 - foot radius of the project site were notified bymail on June 1, 2000. On June 1, 2000, a notice of public hearing on a display board was posted at the site and displayed for at least 20 days before the public hearing. Three other sites were posted within the vicinity of the application.

Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Development Review, Variance, Minor Variance, Tree Permit and Negative Declaration shall be referred to as the "Application". 2. On June 2, 2000, notification of the public hearing for this project was made in the San.Gabriel Valley Tribune and Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspapers. Further, forty-seven property owners within a 500 -foot radius of the project site were notified by mail on June 1, 2000. On June 1, 2000, a notice of public hearing on a display board was posted at the site and displayed for at least 20 days before the public hearing. Three other sites were -posted within the vicinity of the application. 3. On June 27, 2000, the Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the,Application. Resolution NOW, THEREFORE, it is found, determined and resolved by the Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar as follows: 1 DRAF 1. The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. The Planning Commission hereby finds that the Initial Study review and Negative Declaration No. 200Q-03 have been prepared by the City of Diamond Bar in compliance with the requirement of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and guideline promulgated thereunder, pursuant to Section 15070. Furthermore, Negative Declaration No. 2.000-03, reflects the independent judgement of the City of Diamond Bar. 3. The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds and ,determines that, having considered the record as a whole including the findings set forth below, and changes and alterations which have been incorporated, into and conditioned upon the proposed project set forth in the application, there is no evidence before e this Planning commission that the project proposed herein will have the potential of an adverse effect on wild life resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. Based upon substantial evidence, this Planning commission hereby rebuts the presumption of adverse effects contained in Section 753.5 (d) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations'. 4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth herein, this Planning Commission, hereby finds as follows: (a) The project relates to a parcel at 2515 Crowfoot Lane (Lot 62 of Tract No. 30577), Diamond Bar, CA, within the gated community identified as "The Country Estates." The project site is approximately 1.39 gross acres and 1.24 net acres. is - -shaped ---,.irregularly, --- wide-- at- - -the-rear and sloping downward to the street. (b) The General Plan Land Use designation is Rural Residential (RR), 1 du/acre. The project site is zoned Single-Family.Residence, R-1-40,000. (c) Generally, the following zones surround the subject site: to the north, south, east and west is the R- 1-40,000 Zone. (d) The application is a request to construct 'a two- story, single-family residence of 'approximately 11,427 square feet with basement, balconies, porch, and six -car garages. Additionally, the request N WF* r- Ff r includes accessory structures: tennis court, swimming pool/spa and gazebo. (e) The design and layout of the proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, development standards of the applicable district, design guidelines, and architectural criteria for specialized area (e.g., theme areas, specific plans, community plans, boulevards, or planned developments).. The project site was established before the adoption of the City's General Plan. -However, the proposed project complies with the elements of the adopted General Plan of July 25, 1995 which has a land use designation of Rural Residential (I du/acre) . The proposed use is zoned for single-family residence at 1 du/acre. The proposed structure and accessory structures comply with the City's General Plan objectives and strategies related to maintaining the integrity of residential neighborhoods and open space. The structures and placement on the parcel conform to the site coverage criteria of the Diamond Bar, Development Code. Furthermore, the applicant has obtained the approval of "The Country Estates" Homeowners' Association Architectural Committee. There is no specific or additional community planned development for the site. (f) The design and layout of the proposed development will not interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future development, and will not create traffic or pedestrian hazards. The project site is currently an undeveloped lot within an existing tract designed for single-family homes. The proposed new construction and accessory structures are consistent with the use of a single- family residence and other homes within "The Country Estates". As such, the proposed project is not "expected to interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future development. The proposed project is not expected to create .traffic or pedestrian hazards due to the fact that the use is a single-family residence. Crowfoot Drive and Falcons View Drive adequately serve the 3 VON, 3= project site and were established to handle minimum traffic created by this type of development. (g) The architectural design of the proposed development is compatible with the characteristics of the surrounding neighborhood and will maintain the harmonious, orderly and attractive development contemplated by Chapter 22.48, the General Plan, City Design Guidelines, or any applicable specific plan. The proposed project's architectural style as referenced in the application is Mediterranean. The proposed style and palette are compatible with the eclectic architectural style of other homes within Tract No. 30577 and "The Country Estates," and consistent with the City's Design Guidelines and Development Code. The project's architectural features include the use balconies with precast balustrades; porch and second -story entry with concrete balustrade stair railing; columns; and layering of materials and finishes via the trimmed stucco. The applicant has received the approval of "The Country Estates" Homeowners' Association Architectural Committee. Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with and will maintain and enhance the harmonious, orderly and attractive development contemplated by Chapter 22.48020, the General Plan, and City Design Guidelines. Additionally, there is not a specific plan for this area. (h) The design of the proposed development will provide a desirable environment for its occupants and visiting public, as well as its neighbors, through good aesthetic use of materials, texture, and color that --will remain --aesthetically- - appealing. A project colors/materials board has been provided. As referenced in the above findings the colors, materials, and textures proposed are complimentary to the existing homes within the area while offering variety that provides a desirable environment for its occupants and visiting public as well as its neighbors. (i) The proposed project will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious (e.g., negative affect on property values or resale(s) of property) to• the properties or improvements in the vicinity. 2 U L City permits, inspections and soils reports are required for construction. These will ensure that the finished project will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity. (j) The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)., Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City has determined that a Negative Declaration is required for this project. According to CEQA Section 15070, Negative Declaration No. 2000-03 has been prepared. The Negative Declaration's review period begins June 2,-2000 and ends June 21, 2000. VARIANCE/MINOR VARIANCE (k) There are special circumstances . applicable to the property (e.g., e.g., . location, shape, size, surroundings, topography, or other conditions), so that the strict application of this 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 make it obviously impractical to -require compliance with the .development standards. The Variance request is to allow a reduction in the rear setback for the tennis court with fencing and lighting. The.Minor Minor Variance is to allow a minimum deviation in the residence's maximum permitted height by the addition of 3.5 feet for the chimneys height that the City considers a projection. Pursuant to the Development Code, a residential structure in the R-1-40,000 Zone is required to maintain a 20 foot rear setback. The tennis court with fencing and lighting requires a Variance because, as proposed, it does not comply with development standards specified in the Development Code. A concrete slab (i.e. sports court) does not have specific development standards, nor does it require a construction permit. However, a tennis court with fencing and lighting is considered an 5 accessory structure and requires a construction permit and is required to maintain Code specified 20 feet rear setback. The proposed tennis court is placed with a 10 feet rear setback. The subject site is irregularly shaped, and considering the lot's configuration and the fact the setback reduction is not adjacent to a residence and abuts the neighbor's tennis court on the east side and is dug into the slope 'on the south side. It is anticipated that the setback reduction impact will be insignificant. Tennis courts are common place in "The Country Estates" and have been approved in the past with similar setbacks. Tennis court fencing within a required setback requires a Variance because it does not comply with the allowed maximum six foot height. Tennis court fencing is proposed at a height of 10 feet. The fencing is % mesh chain link with green or black vinyl. Since the required setbacks are reduced, a Variance approval is required for the fence height within the required setback. The same setback requirement applies to the tennis court light fixtures. Since some of the fixtures will be located within the required setback, a Variance approval is also.. required. Pursuant to Code, these fixtures are not to be located closer than 10 feet to the adjacent property line except as approved by a Variance. Approval of, the Minor Variance would allow the chimneys to project a maximum of 3.5 feet above the maximum allowed height of 35 feet for a residential structure. The Development Code standard for the maximum- height--for--a -residential"--structure" is 35 feet as measured from the natural.or finished grade adjacent to any point at each exterior wall.of the structure to the highest point of the roofline, above. and parallel to the natural or finished grade. The proposed project meets this requirement except for the chimneys projecting above the roofline. The Development Code allows for a 10 percent height increase with the Minor Variance application. The chimneys increase the residential structure's height by 3.5 feet or 10 percent. (1) -Granting the Variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights possessed by other property owners in the R r- 7 L'T L same vicinity and zoning district and denied to the property owner for which the Variance is sought. The granting of the Variance is based on the facts that the use is consistent with the surrounding homes in the vicinity. The subject site is irregularly shaped, and considering the lot's configuration and the fact the setback reduction is not adjacent to a residence and is indeed abutting the neighbor's tennis court on the east side and dug into the slope on the south side, it is .anticipated that the setback reduction impact will be insignificant. The Development Code allows for a 10 percent height increase with the Minor Variance application and the chimneys s increase the residential structure's height by 3.5 feet or 10 percent. Additionally, other homes within "The Country Estates" are similar and enjoy the same recreational amenities and height projection as proposed'by this Application. As a result 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 property owner for which the Variance and Minor Variance is sought. (m) Granting the Variance is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan. As stated above in Items (e) and (k), granting the Variance and Minor Variance is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan. (n) The proposed entitlement would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City. ( As stated above in Items (f), (g), (h), (i), (k), (1).and (m), the proposed entitlement would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience,or welfare of the City. TREE PERMIT (o) Preservation of the existing 8" DBH oak tree is not feasible and would compromise the property owner's reasonable use and enjoyment of property or surrounding land and appropriate mitigation measures will be implemented in compliance with Section 22.38.130 (Tree Replacement/Relocation Standards). 7 1 17aa The applicant has submitted that development requires the removal of two walnut trees, one 10 DBH and one 18" DBH at the southeast side of the property to utilize a tennis court. The Applicant has designed the project according to Development Code Standards- and City's Design Guidelines with relationship to heights and use of grades by building into the slope. Replacement for these trees is at a 3:1 ratio for a total of six trees. The replacement trees are required to be 361, box and of a native species chosen from: Sycamore, Walnut, Oak, California Pepper or Arroyo Willow. 5. Based upon the findings and conclusion set forth above, the Planning Commission hereby approves this Application subject to the following conditions: (a) The project shall substantially conform to site plan, floor plans, elevations and materials/colors board collectively labeled as Exhibit "A" dated June 27, 2000, as submitted to and approved by the Planning Commission.

General Plan Designation: Rural Residential (RR) Maximum 1 DU/A 0 7. Zoning: R-1-40,000 8. Description of Project: (Describe the whole action involved, including but not limited to later phases of the project, and any secondary, support, or off-site features necessary for its implementation. Attach additional sheets if necessary). The project is the new construction of a single-family residence on a 1.39 gross acre vacant parcel (Lot 62, Tract 30577 recorded in 1970) at 2515 Crowfoot Lane within the private gated community known as "The Country Estates". The total main structure is 11,427 square feet with a basement, balconies, porch, and five -car garage. The project also includes a tennis court, pool/spa, gazebo, and retaining walls. The current site is in a hillside area and roughrg_ ading for the site was approved with the 1971 "As Built Grading Plans." Easements include private street and utilities. The site area not devoted to structures will be landscape with turf, trees and ornamental landscaping with native chaparral landscaping at the rear of the property. The total proposedrg ading_quantity is cut of 4,500 cubic yards and fill of 2,200 cubic yards with approximately 2,300 cubic yards export offsite. Additionally, the current proposal includes removing two native California Walnut trees. Generally speaking, the replacement ratio per the Development Code is at a. 3:1 ratio. A variance application is a request for: a rear setback reduction for the tennis court and tennis court lighting; and the type of tennis court fencing facing the street. A Minor Variance request is to construct chimneys that extend 3.5 feet above the maximum 35 -foot height permitted for a residence. 9. Surrounding Land Uses and Setting: Briefly describe the project's surroundings: The proposed project lies within "The Country Estates,". a gated community of custom homes. The topography of the area iseng erally that of steeplyrolling olling hillsides. Residential development has occurred on all contiguous lots to the north, south, east, and west. 10.

A variance application is a request for: a rear setback reduction for the tennis court and tennis court lighting; and the type of tennis court fencingfacing acing the street. Development Review is required for projects involving a Building Permit for new construction on a vacant parcel greater than 10,000 square feet. A Minor Variance request is to construct chimneys that extend 3.5 feet above the maximum 35 -foot height permitted for a residence. A Tree Permit is required to remove two native California Walnut trees and to allow replacement trees on-site at a 3:1 ratio. The trunks of these walnut trees have 10" and 18" DBH and form a very small grove on the south side of the property. Nine walnut trees will remain and be incorporated into the landscape pallet. The removal is required for placement of the tennis court. 12.

A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. I.find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, if the effect is a "potentially significant impact' OR "potentially significant unless mitigated." An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have .been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project. ` SigAtl�� Linda Kay Smith Printed Name Date PART 4 — EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS . 1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g. the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project specific factors as well as general standards (e.g. the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project -specific screening analysis). 2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on- site, cumulative as. well as project -level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. 3. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If there are one or 'more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4. "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an affect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less than Significant Impadt." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures and briefly explain 0 how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section XVII, "Earlier Analyses," may be cross-referenced). 5. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). Earlier analyses are discussed in Section SVH at the end of the checklist. 6. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impact (e.g. general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include areference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. A source list should be attached, and C� other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion.

The project site is located within the General Plan land use designation area of Rural Residential (maximum 1 dwelling unit per acre), and is zoned R-1-40,000 that allows for a single family residence. The project proposes one dwelling unit on the lot that is 1.24 net acres and 1.39 gross acres. Therefore, it does not conflict with the General Plan. b. The project is consistent with the goals, objectives and implementation strategies of the General Plan, and the City's Development Code Standards including tree replacement/removal. c. Pursuant to the General Plan's land use objective, the strategy includes maintaining residential areas which provide for ownership of single family housing and require that new development be compatible with the prevailing character of the surrounding neighborhood. The surrounding neighborhood consists of single family residential developments and with a discretionary Development Review conditions shall apply to ensure the land use of a single family residence is consistent with the General Plan and the City's Development Code and Design Guidelines. Therefore, the proposed project shall be compatible with the surrounding land uses. 9 Existin Conditions - continued d. There are no agricultural resources or operations within the vicinity of the project. Therefore, agricultural resources or operations will not be affected. e. Existing land uses in the vicinity of the proposed project are residential, or vacant land and zoned for residential. The proposed project is located in a private gated community known as "The Country Estates" that is not a low income or minority community. The project is residential and consistent with the character of the surrounding development; therefore, will not disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an established community including a low-income or minority community. Additionally, pursuant to the General Plan, this area is not designated as a low income or minority community. 10 11 Potentially Potentially Significant Less Than ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES Significant Unless Significant No Impact Impact Mitigation Impact Incorporated 2 POPULATION; AND ';HOUSING:: Would r: Rhe project:" a.

Ex sting Conditions - a. No portion of the City. has been identified as in an Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone. The closest fault is the Diamond Bar fault, which is described as a "small inactive local fault". Historically, there is no record of any earthquake with an epicenter in Diamond Bar of its Sphere of Influence, and no significant movement has ever been recorded for the Diamond Bar fault. The Whittier -Elsinore fault lies approximately four miles from the project site and has been active in historic times. Three faults with the greatest potential for activity are located in excess of 20 miles from the proposed project. Therefore, the likelihood of fault rupture is limited. 13 Existing Conditions - continued b. The proposed project site lies within an area identified as Seismic Zone 4 by the Uniform Building Code. The site does not appear to be located within an Earthquake Fault Zone. Using current building that account for ground shaking, any impacts from seismic ground shaking may be considered less than significant impact. c. The closest reservoir is the Ridgeline Reservoir, approximately 3/4 miles northwest of the project, in a different drainage basin. If seiche occurs, it will not affect the project site. Additionally, the project is not located near any volcanic mountain regions. There are no large bodies of water in close proximity to the project site. d. According to the State of California Seismic Hazard Zone Map, the project does not appear to be in a potential liquefaction zone. The applicant's soils report has been approved by the City'sSoils and Geotechnical Engineer. This approval is required before the issuance of City permits. Soils and geotechnical engineers evaluate areas where historic occurrence o liquefaction, local geological, geotechnical and groundwater conditions indicate a potential for permanent ground displacements and where required mitigation as defined in Public Resources Code Section 2693 (c) would be required as necessary. The report does not indicate any of these areas. Additionally, the nature of the underlying material on the project site, the lack of groundwater and the existing and proposed drainage conveyance devices within the lot further diminish occurrences of liquefaction. e. Pursuant to the project's approved soils report, the subject site and soils condition appear to be conducive to the development of the project. Moreover, the approved soils report includes recommendations for areas to receive fill material and site grading, which will need to be followed to ensure the site will be safe against hazards such as landslide, slippage, or settlement and the proposed construction will have no effect on the geologic stability o property outside the building area. The Public Works Division ensures erosion control through the grading permit process. f. There is no evidence that subsidence producing activities have occurred at or near the site. Oil drilling occurred in lower Tonner Canyon, but any potential subsidence is not expected to affect this project site. The proposed use, including the basement, does not propose any operation that may cause subsidence. The test pit location and borings were checked for presence of groundwater during the excavation operations. Free groundwater was to encountered. This infers subsidence of the land is very unlikely, and thus has no impact on the site. 14 Existing Conditions - continued g. Almost all soils in Diamond Bar have the capacity to be expansive, and should be reviewed on a project specific basis. Pursuant to the project's soils report, siltstone and sandstone conditions were encountered throughout the site. Subsurface soil conditions were explored by excavating one test pit to a depth of 19.5 feet and borings 24 inch auger borings ranging from 4 feet to 16 feet below the existing grade. Overall, field and laboratory tests suggest that the site is underlain by a layer of slopewash and previous placed fill soils which are relatively soft. These soils will be removed to expose competent bedrock within the construction areas and recompaction will be completed. Therefore, it is not anticipated that expansive soils will adversely affect the project. h. It is not anticipated that any unique geologic or physical features exist on the project site. 15 16 Potentially Potentially Significant Less Than ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES Significant Unless Significant No Impact Impact Mitigation Impact Incorporated 4.; WATER Would the ps1in a.

Source #s: General Plan, p. IV-4, Fig. IV-2, MEA; P. II-C-1 et seq. 17 Existing Conditions - a. The project proposes that approximately 26%1 percent of the 1.39 acre site be covered. This may significantly increase the amount of impervious surface, and thus the amount of surface runoff. Runoff will be directed from on-site drainage devices into off-site drainage devices designed to accommodate run-off from the project site. Additionally, the project proposes export of approximately 2,200 cubic yards and the site profile will be changed. The drainage for the project has been routed to on-site drainage devices at the front of the lot. The drainage control devices on-site are designed such that any runoff is expected to be less than significant. b. The project is not located within a flood hazard area and as part of the project's conditions o approval, adequate swale flow devices and rip-rap will be installed per the drainage plan. c.,d.,e. No surface water body exists within the vicinity of the project. The closest surface water is the Carbon Canyon Dam, approximately 2 1/2 miles from the project; this site does not however drain into this basin. Therefore, no impacts related to surface water features, quality, or flow will affect the project site. L The project will add to the amount of groundwater to the extent impermeable surfaces are added and the rate of absorption is affected by the new grading. This amount is unknown, but. it is anticipated this proposed project's amount will be insignificant. g., h. The proposed project will not effect the direction or rate of flow of groundwater due to conditions described above (a through f). i. The development or use of an addition to a single family residence is not considered to cause a substantial reduction in the amount of groundwater for public water supply. Additionally, groundwater is not utilized for domestic supply, but for the reclaimed water supply. j. The project site is not located within a flood hazard area. 18 19 Potentially Potentially Significant Less Than ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES Significant Unless Significant No Impact Impact Mitigation Impact Incorporated 5 AIR QUALITY Would the project a.

Air quality of dust will be expected to be affected during grading operations, given the quantity and method of grading transport, however, it is not expected to be significant procedure that will be implemented to reduce air emissions. Project conditions, including watering of the site, will lessen any impacts. The use of the residence is not expected to significantly contribute to the violation of any air quality standards. Additionally, such emissions are not expected to exceed those listed within the SCAQMD Quality Handbook as calculated on Table 9-1. b. There are no know sensitive receptors within the vicinity of the site. Therefore, any impacts to sensitive receptors will be insignificant. c. The proposed project's affect on air quality will mostly be during grading operations only. The affect will be temporary and will not result in a considerable net increase of any pollutant for which the project region is non -attainment under applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard. d. During the grading phase of the proposed project, diesel fuel odor may be emitted, however, based on the scope of the proposed grading operation, the impact is not expected to be significant. Therefore, there will be no significant air quality impacts from the proposed uses on this site. 19 20 Potentially Potentially Significant Less Than ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES Significant Unless Significant No Impact Impact Mitigation Impact Incorporated TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION' rF i � W.

A permanent increase in vehicle trips will occur from the use of the single family residence, but at an average of 9.55 trips per weekday, is considered insignificant. b. The on-site to off-site circulation has been reviewed and has been found not to result in hazards to safety from design features or incompatible uses. . c. Private roads, Falcons View Drive, Derringer Lane and Shotgun Lane, which deposit into the public street Grand Avenue and an alternativeroute within "The Country Estates" to Diamond Bar Boulevard, provide vehicular access. These access routes are considered adequate ,emergency access. d. The development proposes a five -car garage with additional areas for uncovered parking. As the City of Diamond Bar's Development code requires two covered parking spaces, parking is considered adequate for the project. Therefore, the proposal will not result in insufficient parking. e. The approved parcel, which was approved for single family residences for Tract No. 30577 in 1970, allowed for future levels of service with final map approval. Therefore, levels of service have been established. f. The proposed project must be consistent with the General Plan's Vision Statement and maintain an adequate level of service on area roadways. The development of one single family residence, as such , does not conflict with any of the City's goals and objectives or strategies supporting transportation. g. No rail, waterborne, or air traffic facilities or operations are in the vicinity of the proposed project. Therefore, the project will not impact these facilities or operations. 21 RE Potentially Potentially Significant Less Than ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES Significant Unless Significant No Impact Impact Mitigation Impact Incorporated BIOLOGICAL ItESOUC: ES' Would the 7. project a.

The project proposes to remove two native walnut trees on the south side of the property, one 10" DBHand one 18" DBH. Nine additional walnut trees will remain" on site and be integrated in the landscape pallet. Native walnut trees are protected and preserved per the City's Development Code, and those remaining will be protected during the construction process per standards set forth in the City's Development Code. Preservation of the two walnut trees is not feasible and would compromise the property owner's reasonable use and enjoyment of the property. It is anticipated the Planning Commission will approve appropriate tree replacement from the preserved/protected species list and implementation in compliance with Section 22.38.130 (Tree Replacement/Relocation Standards) at a minimum 3:1 ratio, 24" box trees. This replacement is consistent with the General Plan. The project' landscape plan will also be reviewed by the City to ensure it complies with the Development Code Water Efficiency standards. The site will not result in impact to wetland habitat because no wetland exists on site. Therefore, the proposed project will have a less than significant imp e. The proposal will not result in an impact to wildlife dispersal or migration corridors because none exist. 23 0W Potentially Potentially Significant Less Than ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES Significant Unless Significant No Impact Impact Mitigation Impact Incorporated h ENERGYAND`MINE�AL: r 8 RESOURCES.

The most common materials found are small leaves, fish scales, even partial or whole skeletons at times, in either silty or diatomaceous earth. Indeed, the entire Puente formation should be considered to have the potential to yield significant fossils. The site currently contains a rough graded parcel in an existing tract of single family residence homes with no report of paleontological findings. Therefore, the proposed project will not directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature. b. The Archaeological Information Center with the University of California at Los Angeles has conducted a records search in which five areas have been identified archaeological resources within the Diamond Bar City limits or sphere of influence. However, the proposed project is not located within these five sites. The site currently contains a rough graded parcel and there was not report of archaeological findings at the time of rough grading. Therefore, the proposed project will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance o archaeological resources. 31 Ex ting Conditions - c. No 'historical sites have been identified within the vicinity of the project site and none are expected. According to the Archaeological Information Center, there are at present no recorded historical sites within a one -mile radius around the City or its sphere of influence. Therefore, development of the proposed project will not affect historical resources. d.,e.
