No. 2008-14 — Under the authority of Development Code Sections 22.48 and
22.56, the applicant requested approval to construct a 232.5 square foot first
floor addition and 788 square foot second floor addition to an existing single

SP/Laufenburger presented staff's report and recommended Planning
Commission approval of Development Review No. 2008-17 and Minor
Conditional Use Permit No. 2008-14, based on the Findings of Fact, and
subject to the conditions of approval as listed within the resolution.
There were no ex parte disclosures.
Chair/Nelson opened the public hearing.
Ernie Benavides, E.J.B. Designs, said the design does its best to match the
modern craftsman style character of the older portion of a two part
neighborhood. The project encroaches into the side yard requirement but
the project stays with the original line of the garage and does not encroach
into the neighbor's line -of -sight. He added that there are few windows on the
side of the structure facing the neighboring property to prevent view into the
neighbor's yard.
Chair/Nelson asked the applicant to explain the closeness of the garages
with respect to the variance on the setback. Mr. Benavides explained using
site plan visuals. Mr. Benavides responded to C/Nolan that the footprint
would remain the same.
Norma Leon-Encalade, owner, explained that this project would help her
family remain in the home and the increase in square footage would
accommodate future family growth.
Chris Jenson, 3603 Crooked Creek Road, the northeast property neighbor,
said he had lived in Diamond Bar for 25 -years and have had Don and Norma

as neighbors for 12 -years and would like to keep them as neighbors. He and
his wife are very much in support of the proposed addition.
Chair/Nelson closed the public hearing.
C/Nolan said it was commendable that the property owner's neighbors came
to tonight's meeting to speak in favor of their neighbors and their project.
C/Nolan moved, C/Lee seconded, to approve Development Review
No. 2008-17 and Minor Conditional Use Permit 2008-14, based on the
Findings of Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed within the

2. Architectural Features, Colors, Materials, Floor Plan, Etc.
The architecture of the existing residence is considered a 1970s design. The
proposed exterior remodel introduces Mediterranean design elements, with
features to include: tile roof, stucco walls, stacked stone, vinyl windows, and
balconies with balustrades. The proposed architectural design and colors
are consistent with the surrounding architecture of the neighborhood.
The existing floor plan contains a three -car garage, kitchen, dining room,
living room, family room, three bedrooms, and three bathrooms. The
proposed first floor addition will contain a new entry, bedroom, and bathroom
totaling 770 square feet. The proposed basement level will contain a family
room and bathroom totaling 516 square feet.

Development Review 2008-13 and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. 2008-17
3. Landscaping and Preserved/Protected Trees (DBMC & 22.24)
A landscape plan is not required for the project because the front and rear
yards are currently landscaped, and the resulting development to the rear of
the structure will reduce a small section of slope to accommodate the
proposed addition.
4. Covenant and Agreement
A condition of approval requires the property ownerto complete and record a
"Covenant and Agreement to Maintain a Single -Family Residence." The
covenant must be recorded with the Los Angeles County's Recorder's Office
prior to building permit issuance.
5. Additional Review
The Public Works Department and the Building and Safety Division reviewed
this project. Their comments are included in both the report and the approval
conditions.
D. Minor Conditional Use Permit (DBMC § 22.56)
The required front yard setback for the site is 30 feet, and the required side yard setbacks
are 10 feet on one side; 15 feet on the other side; in addition to a minimum separation of
25 feet between structures. The existing front yard setback from the face of the house to
the property line is 21'-6'; the side yard setback is 12 feet on the south side; and the
building separation dimensions are 23 feet and 24 feet from the neighboring residences.
The City recognizes that property owners should be allowed to have additions or
improvements to their properties, even with nonconformities. Therefore, the City has
established the Minor Conditional Use Permit process for such additions, subject to the
findings set forth in the Development Code.
Staff believes that approving the Minor Conditional Use Permit as described above for the
proposed addition is appropriate and compatible with other residences in the neighborhood
based on the following facts and observations:
• The existing dwelling was built in 1977, prior to the incorporation of the City of
Diamond Bar;
The proposed addition will maintain the existing nonconforming side yard
setback of 12 on the south side;
• The proposed addition will maintain the existing nonconforming front yard
setback of 21'-6";
Page 4
Development Review 2008-13 and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. 2008-17
• The site has a landscaped right-of-way (ROW) of 11 feet behind the public
sidewalk, giving the appearance of a 32'-6" inch front yard setback;
The proposed addition will not further reduce the existing nonconforming
building separations; and
• By maintaining the existing nonconforming setbacks, the proposed project is
consistent with other homes within the neighborhood on Blaze Trail.
Additionally, the proposed project will add value to the existing residence and
neighborhood.
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING:
Public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within a 500 foot radius of the
project site and the notice was published in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune and Inland
Valley Daily Bulletin newspapers. A notice display board was posted at the site, and a
copy of the legal notice was posted at the City's designated community posting sites.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
The City has determined that this project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Section 15301 (e) of the CEQA
Guidelines (addition to an existing single-family residence). Therefore, no, further
environmental review is required.
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Development Review
No. 2008-13 and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. 2008-17, based on the Findings of
Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed.within the attached resolution.

expected to interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring
existing or future development. The proposed project is not expected
to intensify the existing use to an extent that will create traffic or
pedestrian hazards.

ITEM NO.: 9.2
DATE: January 13, 2009
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Greg Gubman, AICP, Acting Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority Homeless Census
BACKGROUND:
According to a Housing and Urban Development (HUD) mandate, the Los Angeles Homeless
Services Authority (LAHSA) is required to conduct a count of the County's homeless
population every two years. The next count is scheduled over a three -night period between
January 27 and January 29, 2009. The San Gabriel Valley area count will be conducted on
January 28, 2009, between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. Diamond Bar has "opted in"
to participate in the upcoming count by agreeing to provide the necessary personnel to
conduct the survey within the census tracts encompassing the City. By conducting the count
ourselves, Diamond Bar will have greater control in ensuring a realistic estimate of the City's
homeless population.
Staff is currently coordinating the recruitment of personnel and law enforcement support in
preparation for this effort. At present, there are 20 staff signed on to participate in the count.
Additionally, staff has contacted various local service organizations and volunteer groups to
reach our goal of approximately 40 volunteers. All participants will be required to attend a
three-hour training session held at the Diamond Bar Center prior to the count.
The actual count will involve staff and volunteers walking or driving through Diamond- Bar to
identify homeless persons staying in the City, if any. The results of the survey will be
provided to LAHSA, who will in turn compile the results and perform a comprehensive
analysis of the findings. The final report will enable LAHSA, the County, and other agencies
to better understand and respond to the regional nature of homelessness.
Once the Diamond Bar count is completed, it is anticipated that the results will enable the
City to have accurate homeless data with which to complete the Housing -,Element revision
and respond appropriately to the Department of Housing and Community Development.

For Immediate Release: Monday, December 22, 2048
LAHSA SEEKS VOLUNTEERS FOR NATION'S LARGEST HOMELESS CENSUS
3,000 Needed to Assist During January Study
Los Angaies, CA: The Los Angeles Homeless Services .Authority (LAHSA) seeks 3,1100 local volunteers to assistwith the
largest homeless census in the nation.
The 2009 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count (HC00) will take place on the nights of January 27-29,2009. Data from
the Count will help preserve federal funding for local homeless programs (which this year amounted to $72 million),
target housing and services to fit the needs of homeless people, and raise awareness about the issue of homelessness.
"Homeless Count data is essential to our work to end homelessness in the City $ Couniy,A said Rebecca Isaacs,
LAHSNs Executive Director. "LAHSA, and our partner agencies and organizations, use Homeless Count data on a daily
basis_ We need to update our 2007 data to knovywhat homelessness looks like in 2000. How many homeless people
are there'd Where are they? Who are they? Hove did they become homeless? What's the best way to help them?"
LAHSA is currently recruiting 3000 volunteers from the City & County to help with the Count. Assembling at deployment
centers across the County, volunteers will break into teams and conduct sight -counts of homeless people in a certain
census tract. Free trainings will be offered to prepare volunteers for their work.
"Homelessness is a complex problem, and the way to solve it by combining compassion Frith solid data," continued
Isaacs. 'Angelenos want to help end homelessness in their communities, but many aren't sure where to begin. This is
it: come and Count with us for one night in January. Volunteering for the Homeless Count is an opportunity to help
homeless people in an enduring vday.°
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires all jurisdictions that receive federal
homelessness funding to conduct a Homeless Count every two years. LAHSA, ,which administers the majority of HUD's
homelessness funding for the Los Angeles region, coordinated similar Counts in 2005 and 2007.
