NEW BUSINESS: Kuo, Nelson, VC/Ruzicka, Chair/Zirbes None Tye None 6.1 Development Code Amendment No. 2001-02 to amend Articles III, Sections 22.36.080 and 22.36.120.0 of the City's Development Code regarding signage within C-3 zone. (Referral from City Council to Planning Commission pursuant to Development Code Section 22.70.040 and Government Code Section 65857) NOVEMBER 27,2001 PAGE 2 PLANNING COMMISSION PROJECT ADDRESS: Commercial Development Complexes of 4.5 acres or more adjacent to the freeway in the C-3 zone, Diamond Bar, CA 91765 APPLICANT: City of Diamond Bar DCM/DeStefano presented staff's report. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission receives a presentation from staff and provide a report to the City Council. Chair/Zirbes proposed discussion of Amendment Item 7, 8 and 9 in that order. Item 7 Discussion: VC/Ruzicka asked if the contemplated signs conform to state law and CalTrans regulations. DCM/DeStefano stated that in terms of the freeway -oriented signs and in particular, those with an electronic reader board, yes. There are CalTrans standards for such signs and they include items such as the minimum length of time the message may be displayed. CalTrans will be a reviewing agency with respect to the specific sign. Chair/Zirbes asked how many other sites in Diamond Bar would qualify for an electronic reader sign. DCM/DeStefano explained that staff is not aware of any other C-3 zone Diamond Bar location that would be 4 1/2 acres or greater and would be more than 1,000 feet from residential property. Chair/Zirbes moved, VC/Ruzicka seconded, to accept Item 7 with the following changes: First paragraph: change the parcel size from 3 acres to 4.5 acres; insert located immediately adjacent to the freeway; amend 7 c. add "reader board shall not be more than 33 percent of the total sign face area;" and change 7.e. to indicate a minimum of 1300 feet from any residential property (instead of 1250 feet). C/Tye pointed out that with the amendment changes, current maximum sign area is 200 square feet and proposed is 1,000 square feet. As a result, the proposed amendment changes would allow the opportunity for other businesses to request 1,000 square feet of static sign board. C/Tye said he has 13 year old information from the Department of Transportation on safety of reader boards. He spoke at length about the City's General Plan, its vision for Diamond Bar, the original Development Code and subsequent changes and how this proposed Development Code Amendment is structured to accommodate one business. Item K under 22.36.080 under prohibited signs is "outside signs not specifically allowed by NOVEMBER 27, 2001 PAGE 3 PLANNING COMMISSION the provisions of this chapter including billboards and outdoor advertising." Why isn't that changed at the same time? Because that's not what this community wants. It is not what, in November 1998 after great deliberation, was decided as the way Diamond Bar should be developed and the way Diamond Bar should look. Diamond Bar is stuck with what the County passed down. And that is why Diamond Bar became a city — to have decisions over matters such as this. Now we cannot blame the County -if this happens. If that business goes, how will Diamond Bar replace that sales tax revenue? DCM/DeStefano explained that car dealerships produce tax revenue from sales ranging from 15 million to 100 million. This particular dealership is in the low 1/3 range and Diamond Bar receives one percent of the sales tax dollars from the business. This dealership consistently is the #1 or #2 sales tax producer of all businesses in the city and it is a concern that they may leave. C/Tye pointed out that if Diamond Bar lost that revenue it would amount to a $5 or $10 increase in his property taxes and if he had to pay that extra amount not to have an electronic billboard in Diamond Bar he would gladly pay it. He's also sure that there are people who would not want to pay the extra property tax because they were not willing to pay $5 or $10 extra per year for a community swimming pool. He asked the Commission to seriously think about what the community will look like if this amendment is approved. Even though Diamond Bar Honda is on the City of Industry side of the freeway it is still in Diamond Bar. He hopes the business will remain here for another 20 years and be successful without an electronic billboard. There will be enough commercial businesses/billboards when the City of Industry- builds out. He does not believe Diamond Bar Honda needs an electronic billboard to be successful. C/Nelson said that when this matter first came before the Planning Commission he felt as C/Tye has eloquently stated. During the meeting he learned of increased sales statistics as a result of electronic reader boards. On Sunday evening he was driving home on the SR 60 from LAX with long-time friends and residents of Diamond Bar. He pointed out the stark contrast between the electronic signs along the City of Industry freeway area and the darkness of the adjacent freeway in Diamond Bar with its subtle business lighting. This contrast gave him a real sense of appreciation for where he lives. He tried to picture a blinking electronic reader board at Diamond Bar Honda and that vision helped him make his decision. When he asked one of his friends what he thought it would look like and the friend told him it would look like a turd in a punchbowl. He will not be able to support the proposed amendment due to the electronic nature of the proposed reader board. Chair/Zirbes said he has struggled with this matter. Diamond Bar Honda is a unique piece of property and he is concerned about losing the business. He believes Diamond Bar can accomplish what it wants to accomplish even with the electronic reader board. The businesses that Diamond Bar residents like to frequent are not available here and NOVEMBER 27, 2001 PAGE 4 PLANNING COMMISSION' Diamond Bar does not make the community accessible to attract those types of business. And Diamond Bar makes its own traffic by having to drive out of the community to shop for materials and services the residents' desire. This is a unique piece of property that can benefit the entire community. He visited Birdseye Drive and Highcrest Drive and he could see Diamond Bar Honda. Currently, it is well lighted and the reader board will not be any more visible than it is at this time. Motion carried 3-2 by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: CONMSSIONERS: Kuo, VC/Ruzicka, Chair/Zirbes NOES: COMMISSIONERS: Nelson, Tye ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: None Item 8 Discussion: C/Tye moved, Chair/Zirbes seconded to deny Item 8 amendment. C/Tye reiterated that he has a problem amending the Development Code to be a blanket statement to allow business to install 12 foot monument signs. Chair/Zirbes said the same types of parcels are being considered for Item 8 as Item 7. In 1998 he spoke to the Planning Commission about looking at the types and sizes of the monument signs. If a freeway project that has a 60 foot high freeway sign is being considered, he would look at just that particular property for consideration because the only parcel of property that fits this criteria happens to be located on Grand Avenue just to the west of the SR 57. He believes that either a six foot or a 12 foot sign would call his attention to the fact that that particular business is a Honda Dealership. He believes that there is a need to temper what is being done with these sign programs. The question is, how much more sign face does the community want to see and does the dealership benefit from any additional traffic by having a 12 foot monument sign. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Kuo, Nelson, Tye, VC/Ruzicka, Chair/Zirbes NOES: COMIVIISSIONERS: None ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: None Item 9 Discussion: VC/Ruzicka asked if Item 9 meets state law and CalTrans regulations or does it need to meet those standards? NOVEMBER 27, 2001 DRA PAGE 5 PLANNING COMMISSION DCM/DeStefano responded that staff isnot aware of any regulatory authority over wall signs. DCM/DeStefano indicated to C/Tye that properties that might choose to avail themselves of this type of wall sign would be Diamond Bar Honda/Burger King, L.A. Fitness, Via Sorella/Brea Canyon Road property. In the future, staff believes the Kmart-Von's-Savon property will convert to a C-3 zone. In the future, the Walnut Valley Trailer parcel could convert to a C-3 zone. C/Tye moved, Chair/Zirbes seconded, to approve Item 9 with the change to line 2 indicating "consisting of 4.5 acres or more, etc." Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: NOES: COMMISSIONERS: ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: Kuo, Nelson, Tye, VC/Ruzicka, Chair/Zirbes None None C/Tye asked that the November 19 Los Angeles Times article be forwarded to the City Council. VC/Ruzicka said he admires the eloquence with which Commissioner Tye made his case. However, VC/Ruzicka believes that the Commission has control as to how it takes place, which is important to him. DCM/DeStefano explained the process of formulating and approving the Commission's Report to the Council. C/Tye said he wants his feelings to be reflected in the Report to Council. While this was a three-part undertaking, he does not want this to go to the Council 5-0 and have them believe that there was a unanimous decision to approve the amendments to the Development Code. DCM/DeStefano explained that this resolution is simply meant to describe the Commission's activities. The three individual actions can be included within the report and the minutes of this meeting will also be included in the Report to Council. Upon motion by Chair/Zirbes, seconded by VC/Ruzicka to approve Resolution No. 2001 -XX, that based upon the findings and conclusions set forth, the Planning Commission hereby recommends that the Council consider the Planning Commission's Report to Council and recommendations on Development Code Amendment No. 2001-02. The Report to Council will include the following: Changes as approved, incorporation of individual item 7, 8 and 9 votes, minutes from tonight's meeting including discussion on individual items. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: NOVEMBER 27, 2001 PAGE 6 PLANNING COMMISSION AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Kuo, Nelson, Tye, VC/Ruzicka, Chair/Zirbes NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: None 7. CONTINUEID PUBLIC HEARINGS: 7.1 Conditional Use Permit No. 2001-06 and Comprehensive Sign Program No. 2000-01 (pursuant to Code Sections 22.58 and 22.36.060) is a request to install signs for the Diamond Bar Honda dealership and recently approved dealer expansion/car wash/lube facility. Proposed signs are as follows: a 65 foot tall electronic reader board; three monument signs; two canopy signs; and one dealership identification sign. The Conditional Use Permit will be utilized to review the proposed electronic reader board sign with regard to location, design and potential impacts. The Comprehensive Sign Program provides a process for sign integration with the design of structures on site in order to achieve a unified architectural statement. (Continued from October 9, 2001) APPLICANT: 515-525 S. Grand Avenue Diamond Bar, CA 91765 Matthew Tachdjian Col -Am Properties, LLC P.O. Box 4655 Diamond Bar, CA 91765 George Selzer Electra -Vision Advertising 731 W. 11th Street Claremont, CA 91711 AssocP/Lungu presented staff's report. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt a resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2001-06, Comprehensive Sign Program No. 2000-01, and Negative Declaration No. 2001-03, Finding of Fact and conditions as listed within the resolution. AssocP/Lungu indicated to C/Tye that the proposed electronic message center of the reader board sign is close to 33 percent in face area of Electra -Vision Advertising (EVA). George Saelzler, applicant, responded to VC/Ruzicka that there is an average of 15 to 30 percent increase in business due to use of reader board signs under conditions similar to the 57/60 interchange issues. Upon installation of reader boards beginning NOVEMBER 27, 2001 PAGE 7 PLANNING COMMISSION about 12 years go, the accident ratio decreased. In fact, CalTrans uses electronic reader boards for highway information signs. The idea that electronic reader boards cause a safety issue is mute. Chair/Zirbes opened the public hearing. There being no one who wished to speak on this item, Chair/Zirbes closed the publicrhearing. Chair/Zirbes asked if Condition (n), page 7, means that if the dealership does not complete their expansion as conditioned, there will be no installation of signage to which AssocP/Lungu responded "yes." AssocP/Lungu explained to Chair/Zirbes that the intent of Condition (h), page 7, is that the existing 40 foot high sign and all other signs will be removed prior to installation of the reader board. In this case, the Burger King sign would be removed and replaced because the proposed sign program has changed since this resolution was written. C/Tye suggested that Condition (f), page 7, limit the amount of time the reader board can be used, such as 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. George Saelzler said that although he has not discussed use of inflatables in additi$n to the reader board sign with the owner, he believes the owner would agree to limiting or eliminating their use. He suggested that it might be prudent to offer the owner the ability to apply for use of inflatables on a case-by-case basis. As a guess, there may be a special weekend event that might incorporate a character. Forty-five days a year would most likely be a maximum number of days per year to consider for such special events. Balloons may an appropriate form of special advertising whereas, other types of large inflatables should not be necessary once a reader board is placed at the site. In his opinion, use of inflatables would be a poor use of money. VC/Ruzicka moved to approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2001-06 and Comprehensive Sign Program No. 2000-01, findings of Fact, and conditions as listed within the resolution with the following amendments: The first monument sign will be at a 6 foot height; the second sentence of Condition (h) read: "all flags and inflatable devices, etc., except small balloons shall be removed prior to issuarrce of any sign permits: Chair/Zirbes suggested that Condition (h) remain as proposed and that Condition (I) be added to read as follows: "Temporary banners, etc., shall require NOVEMIBER27,2001COMMISSION a temporary sign permit; shall not be placed on roof areas; and shall be limited to a maximum of 45 days per year. No inflatable advertising devices except small balloons will be allowed on site." VC/Ruzicka accepted the amendment. Chair/Zirbes seconded the motion. Chair/Zirbes asked that Condition (f) be changed to read: "The 10 percent time frame shall be evenly distributed between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. each day."; that Condition (h) eliminate "Including the freestanding freeway - oriented electronic reader board sign" from the first sentence; change maximum height from 12 feet to 6 feet in Condition (1); Add Condition to read: "Hours of operation for the reader board sign shall be 5:00 a.m. to midnight each day." VC/Ruzicka accepted Chair/Zirbes modifications. C/Tye again asked that the hours of operation for the reader board be specified as 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. C/Nelson said he didn't like the reader board in the first place but it got approved. Since it has been approved he would like for it to work for the owner. George Saelzler indicated to C/Nelson that the standard hours for reader board signs are 5:00 a.m. to midnight each day because they are significant commute traffic hours. 11:00 p.m. would be an acceptable shut off time. VC/Ruzicka and Chair/Zirbes agreed to amend the motion to add Condition 0) to indicate that the "Hours of operation for the reader board shall be 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. each day." Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Kuo, Nelson, VC/Ruzicka, Chair/Zirbes NOES: COMMISSIONERS: Tye ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: None 8. RECOGNITION TO OUTGOING COMMISSIONER ZIRBES. Chair/Zirbes said that if the election results hold, he is to be sworn in as a City Council Member on December 4, 2001. He tendered his resignation as Chairman of the Planning Commission effective the date he is sworn in as a City Council Member. Serving on the Planning Commission has been an event and an experience that he has enjoyed immensely.. He appreciates the education he has received from staff and his fellow Commissioners. He has learned a great deal from his fellow Commissioners who think NOVEMBER 27, 2001 PAGE 9 PLANNING COMMISSION with their minds and feel with their hearts which is evident in the decisions made and the language crafted.

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 so ' cial 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. Development Review is within the Planning Commission's review authority. For the proposed project, Development Review is utilized as an architectural/design review assessing aesthetics and functional standards. The Conditional Use Permit allows for specified activities and uses as identified in the various zoning districts whose effect on the surrounding area cannot be determined before being proposed for a particular location. Conditional Use Permit applications are reviewed for the location, design, configuration, and potential impacts to insure that the proposed use will protect the public health, safety and welfare. The Planning Commission is the review authority for this particular application. For the proposed project, a Conditional Use Permit is required because the proposed telecommunications facility is located within a residential :zone (R -3-8,000-1U) and is not architecturally integrated with the building or structure on site so as not be recognized as an antenna. 0 The Variance process is utilized to allow for adjustment from the development standards of the Development Code. The adjustment may be granted because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including location, shape, size, surroundings, topography, or other conditions. The adjustment also may be granted when 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 or creates an unnecessary, and non -self created, hardship. Additionally, when unreasonable regulations make it obviously impractical to require compliance with -development standards, an adjustment may be granted. Planning Commission is the review authority for the Variance process. For this project, the Variance process is required because the maximum height of a structure within the R -3-8,000-1U is 35 feet. The pole that houses the antenna is proposed at 49 feet. The proposed telecommunications facility consists of the .following equipment: a pole that will house two cross -polar antennas -and is 49 feet tall; three equipment cabinets; and wall enclosure. The pole with antennas (5.5 feet tall by 8 inches wide by 2 inches thick) inside will replace a light standard which is approximately 32 feet tall and located in a planter area close to the church building. The planter area is located on the first level of the parking lot within the rear portion of the project site. The light fixture will be installed on the antenna pole approximately 17 feet below the top of the pole. The equipment cabinets will be located across the first level of the parking lot in the planter area separating the first level from the second level of the parking lot (see Exhibit "A" and photo simulation). The equipment will consist of three Base Transceiver Station electronic (BTS) cabinets enclosed by a six- foot high block wall with wrought iron gates utilized for access to the area and underground power conduit. The design of the proposed telecommunications facility does not provide for co -location. Co -location requires a separation of approximately 10 feet between antennas from each provider because of the interference issues. The proposed pole with light standard does not provide adequate space and/or structural stability to accommodate another provider for co -location. If another provider were to co -locate on this facility, the height and diameter of the pole would need to be increased due to structural stability, proper separation and appropriate line of sight for their antennas. The installation of the telecommunications facility will cause the removal of approximately five trees and several shrubs. one tree is located adjacent to the existing light standard that will be replaced with the antenna pole. The remaining trees are 3 located where the equipment cabinets will be installed. The trees that will be removed are not a species that is preserved/protected by the Development Code. However, the trees removed will be relocated in other planter areas on the project site. The applicant will be utilizing the shrubs that are removed to camouflage the wall enclosure to the extent feasible. According to the applicant,-Cingular is a wireless -communications -- network that offers affordable services like voice communication, caller identification, paging, facsimile services, e-mail, video communications, and cellular digital data communications. Eventually, customers may have one single phone number for many of those services, regardless of location. The distance between antenna sites will normally range from 1/2 mile nine miles, depending on the population density, consumer usage, existing vertical elements and geographical terrain. While PCS requires more antenna sites, they are generally not as large or obtrusive as conventional cellular sites. The equipment height is usually proportional to a combination of the distance antennas can cover and the demand of the PCS service within their sphere of influence. Wireless facilities are located throughout the service area to provide adequate call coverage capacity with quality. According to the applicant, currently Cingular Wireless is experiencing coverage and capacity problems within the area of Diamond Bar. The development of the proposed site will allow Cingular customers improved service in this area. Unlike other land use locations that can be spatially determined, the location of the wire telecommunications facility is based on technical requirements, which include service area, geographic elevations, alignment with neighboring sites and customer demand components. As a result, wireless telecommunications facilities have been located adjacent to and within all major land use categories including residential, commercial, industrial, and open space. In this case, the proposed telecommunications facility is located approximately 250 feet from a residence to the west and approximately 300 feet from a residence to the east. The proposed facility at the subject location will be unmanned and will require routine maintenance once in every four to six weeks utilizing one vehicle and one or two maintenance personnel. As a result, the proposed facility will have no impact on circulation/traffic. Wireless telecommunications is accomplished by linking a wireless network of radio wave transmitting devices such as portable and car phones to the conventional telephone system through series of short-range, contiguous cells. Similar to a honeycomb pattern, a cellular system is composed of many neighboring and inter- connecting "cell site" or geographical areas. Each cell site within the system contains transmitting and receiving antennas that require an appropriate/clear line of sight. In order to 4 have a clear line of sight, antennas must be mounted high enough to overcome challenges proposed by local topography and development. The required height is usually proportional to a combination of distance the antennas can cover and the demand for the PCS service within their sphere of influence. - The applicant's first submittal for telecommunications facility at the project site was proposed adjacent to Diamond Bar Boulevard at a height of 35 feet. This location was not acceptable to the City due to its visibility. As a result, the applicant submitted an alternative location, which is being presented to the Commission. According to the applicant, due to the hillside topography, existing structures and dense trees surrounding the project site, the height of the proposed antenna pole had to increase in order to obtain an appropriate/clear line of site for transmitting and receiving signals. However, the proposed antenna pole's visibility will have less of an impact at the proposed location then adjacent to Diamond Bar Boulevard due to the hillside terrain and mature plant materials. Furthermore, the church building exceeds the maximum allowable height of 35 feet, which was permitted by Variance No. 87-320 processed by Los Angeles County. The church building's roofline is at a 40 foot height and the tower is 49 feet tall. Although the proposed antenna pole is taller than permitted in the R -3-8,000-1U Zone, staff believes that its location close to the church structure, similar design and color as the existing light, the re -location of the light fixture on the pole and the mature landscaping will assist in camouflaging the antenna pole as well as the equipment enclosure and create minimal impacts at the project site and surrounding area. CONCLUSION Wireless telecommunications systems can be an invaluable communications tool in the event of emergencies and natural disasters where normal land line communications are often disrupted or inaccessible during and after an event has occurred. They are a valuable tool in business communication and everyday personal use. The proposed telecommunications facility as designed addresses the demand of the local network to provide seamless service to the increasing number of subscribers. According to the applicant, there are no structures in the immediate area that meet the technical height requirements necessary to achieve the line of sight configuration essential to the Cingular network. The selection of prospective sites are not determined only by technical aspects, but rather the accumulation of several factors such as interested property owners, applicable so, and decide, aesthetics, and the ability to construct proposed facility. Cingular researched the possibility of locating the proposed 61 telecommunications facility in the existing bell tower. Due to construction issues (i.e., cable route and distance, etc.), it was not feasible for Cingular to locate inside the tower. According to the applicant, Cingular has obtained the necessary permits and authorization from the FCC. The proposed wireless telecommunications facility must operate in full compliance with all State and Federal regulations including the Telecom- munications Act of 1996.

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 Initial Study review anlillwative r Declaration No. 2001-05 have been prepared by the City of Diamond Bar compliance with the requirement of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and guidelines promulgated thereunder, pursuant to Section 15070(e). Negative Declaration No. 2001-05 has been prepared. The Negative Declaration's review began November 19, 2001 and ended December 9, 2001. Furthermore, Negative Declaration No. 2001-05 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 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 rectangular shaped hillside lot, sloping up from Diamond Bar Boulevard and approximately 6.75 acres. It is developed with a church facility identified as St. Denis Roman Catholic Church. Permits indicate that construction for the church facility (hall/temporary church) probably began in early 1970s and was completed in the late 1980s. (b) The General Plan land use designation for the project site is Medium High Density Residential (RMH-max 16 du/acre). (c) The zoning designation for the project site is Multiple Residential -Maximum Lot Size 8,000 Square Feet -1 Unit (R-3-8,000-1 U). (d) Generally, the following zones surround the project site: to the north is the Single Family Residential- Minimum Lot Size 8,000 Square Feet (R-1-8,000) and Single Family Residential -Minimum Lot Size 10,000 Square Feet (R -1- 10,000) R-1-10,000) Zones; to the south is the Multiple Residential -Maximum Lot Size 8,000 Square Feet -30 Unit (R -3-8,000-30U) Zone; to the east is the R-1- 10,000 Zone; and to the west is the R -3-8,000-15U Zone. (e) The application request is to install a telecommunications facility consisting of the following equipment: a pole that will house two cross - polar antennas and is 49 feet tall; three equipment cabinets; and wall enclosure. The pole with antennas (5.5 feet tall by 8 inches wide by 2 inches thick) inside will replace a light standard located in a planter area close to the church building. The planter area is located on the first level of the parking lot within the rear portion of the project site. The light fixture 2 will be installed on the antenna pole approximately 17 feet belovi p of the pole. The equipment will be located across the first level of i% parking lot in the planter area separating the first level from the secoYd level of the parking lot (see Exhibit "A" and photo simulation). The equipment will consist of three Base Transceiver Station electronic (BTS) cabinets enclosed by a six-foot high block wall with wrought iron gates utilized for access to the area and underground power conduit. Conditional Use Permit (f) The proposed use is allowed within the subject zoning district with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit complies with all other applicable provisions of the Development Code and the Municipal Code; The purpose of the Conditional Use Permit is to provide a process for reviewing specified activities and uses identified in a zoning district whose effect on the surrounding area cannot be determined before being proposed for a particular location. The proposed unmanned wireless telecommunications facility is permitted in the R-3-8,000-1 U Zone with a Conditional Use Permit and as amended herein will comply with all other applicable provisions of the Development Code and the Municipal Code. (g) The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan; The project site has a General Plan land use designation of Medium High Density Residential (RMH-max 16 du/acre). Objectives and Strategies of the General Plan encourage the establishment of new technology that are deemed environmentally safe and compatible with development. The proposed project is required to comply with Federal regulations regarding radio frequency emissions, thereby considered environmentally safe. The existing telecommunications facility is compatible with the General Plan in that it will only generate a very minimal amount of additional traffic to the neighborhood by infrequent maintenance visits. It will not create a new source of light and noise. It will not be visible from Diamond Bar Boulevard and minimally visible from Silver Hawk Drive. A specific plan does not exist for the project site or area. (h) The design, location, size and operation characteristics of the proposed use are compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity; The project site is a rectangular shaped hillside lot, sloping up from Diamond Bar Boulevard and approximately 6.75 acres. It is developed with a church facility identified as St. Denis Roman Catholic Church. Permits indicate that construction for the church facility (hall/temporary church) probably began in early 1970s and was completed in the late 1980s. The existing telecommunications facility utilizes approximately 300 square feet of the project site. The antenna pole replaces an existing light standard and the equipment enclosure is located within a planter area of the parking lot. Considering the size of the project site and the a utilized by the proposed telecommunications facility, it is clear th project site can accommodate the facility. The telecommunications will generate a minimal amount of additional traffic to the neighborhood infrequent maintenance visits. It does not create a new source of light and noise. The facility will comply with an FCC regulations. It will not be visible from Diamond Bar Boulevard and minimally visible from Silver Hawk Drive and will not block the view of the hillside to the north or residences to the west and east. The facility will be camouflaged fairly well by the existing mature landscaping. Therefore, it is unlikely that the facility will have a negative impact on the single-family residential neighborhood adjacent to the project site. Therefore, the project's design, location, size and operational characteristics, as conditioned, is compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and density/intensity of use being proposed including access, provision of utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses and the absence of physical constraints; As referenced above in Item (h), the proposed telecommunications facility still meets the required development standards for the R-3-8,000- 1 U zone except for height which a Variance application is being processed.. Provisions for utilities exist at the project site. Granting the Conditional Use Permit will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity and zoning district in which the property is located; As referenced above in Items (f) through (j), the proposed telecommunications facility with the Variance approval and as amended here in will meet the City's minimum development standards. Traffic is minimal. As discussed in Item (h) above, the existing telecommunications facility meets the FCC requirements regarding radio frequency emissions safety and has been installed with the appropriate City permits. Therefore, granting the Conditional Use Permit will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity and zoning district in which the property is located. (k) 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), Section 15070(e) and guidelines promulgated thereunder, Negative Declaration No. 2001-05 has been prepared. 0 Variance (1) There are special circumstances applicable to the property (e.g.,l&Qw. shape, size, surroundings, topography, or other conditions), s that thr, 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; Wireless telecommunications is accomplished by linking a wireless network of radio wave transmitting devices such as portable and car phones to the conventional telephone system through series of short-range, contiguous cells.

Mandatory Findings Resources _ of Significance _ ►j PART 3 - DETERMINATION To be completed by Lead Agency On the basis of this initial evaluation: Project Numbers: CUP 2001-04/VAR 2001-07/ DR 2001-12 I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. X 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 the MITIGATION MEASURES described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that the proposed project MAY have 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, significant unless mitigated. " if the effect is a "potentially significant impact" OR "potentially 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. Ann J. Lungu Printed Name 5 November 14, 2001 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 Impact. " The lead agency must described the mitigation measures and briefly explain 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 SVII 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 a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. G 18. EARLIER ANALYSES Earlier analyses may be used here, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case a discussion should identify the following on attached sheets: a) Earlier analyses used. Identify earlier analyses and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts adequately addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analyses. C) Mitigation measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. " describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.

Existing 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 or 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. It is highly unlikely that the proposed project will result in or expose people to potential impacts involving fault rupture. However, the proposed project will be designed in accordance with current codes related to seismic forces. 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.

The proposed project is an unmanned telecommunications facility that will be installed on a site developed in the late 1980s with a church facility. The church facility includes structures, mature landscaping with irrigation and parking lot areas. The proposed telecommunications facility would cause the removal of existing light pole that is approximately 32 feet in height that is located at the rear portion of the project site within the parking lot. It will also cause the installation of a pole approximately 49 feet tall which contains the antennas within the pole. The antennas are not typical array type, but are fully enclosed within the pole. Below the antenna section approximately at the height of 32 feet the light fixture will be installed. As a result, the pole's use will be two - house the antennas and support the light fixture. Pursuant to the Development Code, the maximum of this structure within the R-3-8,000-1 U zone is 35 feet. Due to the poll's height of 49 feet, a Variance approval is required. It is anticipated that the installation of the proposed project at the proposed height will have a less than significant impact because of its location, the surrounding mature landscaping and trees, and the sloping upward of the hilly terrain within the rear portion of the project site. It is expected that the pole will assume the same visual characteristic as the existing light pole fixtures. Additionally, the proposed project will not create a new source of light or glare that will affect the surrounding area. Furthermore, the project site or the area surrounding the project site is not considered a scenic vista or scenic resource.

December 3, 2001 MEETING DATE: December 11, 2001 CASE/FILE NUMBER: Development Review No. 2001- 20 APPLICATION REQUEST: To construct a two-story single- family residence with a basement, two, two -car garages and balconies /patios totaling to approximately 11,410 square feet. The request also includes retaining walls within rear/side and front yards with a maximum exposed six-foot height. PROJECT LOCATION: 22883 Canyon View Drive (Lot 4, Tract No. 51169) Diamond Bar, CA 91765 PROPERTY OWNER: Great Aim Enterprises 430 S. Garfield, #328 Alhambra, CA 91801 APPLICANT: Jerry Yeh Horizon Pacific 2707 Diamond Bar Blvd., #202 Diamond Bar, CA 91765 BACKGROUND: The property owner, Great Aim Enterprises and applicant, Jerry Yeh are requesting approval of Development Review No. 2001-20 (pursuant to Code Section 22.48.020.A.) in order to construct a two-story single-family residence with a basement, two, two -car garages and balconies /patios totaling to approximately 11,410 square feet. The request also includes retaining walls within the rear/side and front yards with a maximum exposed height of six feet. 0 The project site is part of a 13 lot residential subdivision approved by the City Council in November 1994. The subdivision allowed for the creation of buildable pads for each lot and mitigation monitoring slopes that provided the opportunity to replace natural habitat destroyed by the project's development. The project site, an existing vacant lot located at 22883 Canyon View Drive (Lot 4, Tract No. 51169) within a gated community identified as "The Country Estates". The project site is irregular shaped. It is approximately 69,750 gross square feet with a buildable pad area of approximately 19,603 square feet. According to Tract Map No. 51169, the Project site contains an easement for slope and drainage maintenance purposes in the front, side and rear portions of the project site. The slope drainage easement is currently maintained with minimal native vegetation. Also, within the front portion of the site adjacent to Canyon View Drive are easements for access, sanitary sewer, public utility and public services. 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 Lot Size 20,000 Square Feet (R-1-20,000). Generally, the following zones surround the project site: to the north and west is the R-1-20,000 Zone; and to the south and east is the R-1-20,000 and Heavy Agricultural (A-272) Zones. 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.A., an application for Development Review is required for residential projects, which involve construction on a vacant parcel and new structures, additions to structures, and reconstruction projects which are equal to 50 percent or greater of the floor area of existing structures on site, or have a 10,000 square feet or greater of combined gross floor area. The proposed residential project is on a vacant lot with a gross floor area of approximately 11,410 square feet. As such, this project requires Development Review and the Planning Commission is the review authority. 2 Development Standards The following is a comparison of the City's and the Tract Map's required development standards and the project's proposed development standards. CITY,'S/MAPI'S REQUIRED DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED PROJECT'S STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS Lot 4 Lot 4 Setbacks: Minimum Setbacks:' • Front yard - min. 25 ft. from 0 Front yard - 130 ft. from property property line; line; • Side yard - 10 & 15 ft. from pad's 0 Side yard - 18 ft. from the pad's edge with 40 ft. between dwelling edge & 50-125 ft. to property line & units on adjoining parcels; expanding the pad's edge by 20 ft., thereby encroaching into the slope drainage easement; separation from residence on Lot 3-45 ft. & 29 ft. from residence on Lot 5; • Rear yard - 25 ft. from pad's edge; • Rear yard - 60 ft. property line (in this case, property line is pad's edge); Building Height Building Height: • Maximum 35 ft. measured from natural • Two stories with basement - 35 ft. or finished grade; from finished grade; Parking: Parking: Two car garage - minimum; • Attached two, two car garage (301 (2 -bays - 201x201); x 25.51 & 20.5' x 221)garage; and Accessory Structures: Accessory Structures: Utilize setback distance from pad's • Pool/spa - side setbacks -30 ft. & 60 edge/property line consistent with the ft.; rear setbacks -18 ft. residential zoning district setbacks from property line for the property at the time of permit issuance. The proposed project complies with all the required City and map development standards except for expanding the pad at the north portion of the project site. 9 Architectural Features and Colors The proposed residence's architectural style is Mediterranean. This style is compatible with other residences within Tract No. 51169 and "The Country Estates" due to the eclectic architectural style that is existing in this area. A materials /colors board has been submitted -which I delineates the following: * Exterior stucco walls: * Typical Stucco - Chablis X-12 (Base 100), medium off-white; ♦ Roof tile: + MCA Clay Tile -Blend #8 (terra cotta); * Window Frame: * Trim - White; "The Country Estates" homeowners, association architectural has approved committee the proposed materials /colors board and architectural plans. The proposed roof and stucco colors are a variation of earth tones with white. The proposed materials offer a variety of textures. The materials/colors board has been compared with projects previously approved on adjacent lots within this Tract. The comparison indicates that the materials and colors are varied. As a result, the proposed project will provide a desirable environment with good aesthetic use of materials, textures and colors that will remain aesthetically appealing while offering variety. Prominent architectural features for the proposed residence include the style and arrangement of the windows and varied planes utilized on each elevation. The prominent architectural features extend to all sides of the proposed residential structure. Floor Plan A floor plan is included as part of Exhibit "A". The basement contains maid's room, powder bathroom, wine cellar, wet bar and entertainment room. The first floor contains a foyer, living room, formal dining room, guest bedroom with bathroom, powder room, gallery, kitchen with an adjacent wok kitchen, breakfast nook, bar, pantry, family room, Tatami room, storage area, laundry room, two, two -car garage and exterior patios. The second floor contains a master bedroom suite with bathroom, wardrobe, sitting room, massage room and exterior balcony, library, study, three bedrooms with bathrooms, linen closet/laundry shoot, powder room and hallway. A total of 6 bedrooms are proposed with garages that can park four cars. Also, it will be Possible to park at least two additional cars in the driveway. Therefore, staff believes that the number of bedrooms in relationship to the number of parking spaces that will be provided offer adequate parking for the proposed project. 4 Grading/Retaining Walls According to the application, the proposed project will generate approximately 130 cubicyards of cut and 130 cubic yards of fill in order to install retain . ing walls that support the expansion of the existing pad. The retaining walls are located within the north rear and side yards and front yard. The purpose of the retaining walls is to expand the pad by cutting into the slope in order to accommodate a small portion of the house. This retaining wall will be holding a cut and will basically be viewed by the residence of the subject site. The maximum exposed height will not exceed six feet. The purpose of the retaining wall in the front portion of the project site is to support the fill for the driveway. The maximum height of this retaining wall is approximately 3.5 feet. A large portion of the project site, is considered slope and drainage easement, approximately 49,000 square feet. Additionally in the past within this tract and other tracts, the City has allowed a pad extension as long as the retaining walls supporting the extension do not exceed an exposed height of six feet. Mitigation Monitoring Lot 4 contains mitigation monitoring areas -that are located within the slope drainage easement. The mitigation monitoring areas of Lot 4 are represented in the Mitigation Monitoring Landscape plans prepared by Craig Webber and Associates and approved for Tract No. 51169. According to Mitigation Monitoring Landscape Plan, Lot 4 should contain several oak and walnut trees along with the several 24 -inch box California sycamore trees. The mitigation monitoring landscaping for Tract No. 51169 has evolved to where specified amounts of walnut trees and oak trees are not planted on each particular lot. The mitigation area is considered as a whole. As a result, the totaa numbers of trees should now be provided within the whole mitigation `area and not a specified amount on a particular lot. A site visit revealed that Lot 4's mitigation monitoring area contains very minimal plant material which does not appear to completely mimic the mitigation monitoring planting. This mitigation monitoring area needs to be replanted and/or re-hydroseeded prior to issuance of a building permit with the appropriate plant material, thereby complying with the Mitigation Monitoring Landscape Plan. It is required that the applicant submit a landscape plan reflecting said plant material for the City's review and approval before the issuance of any permits. Landscaping/Irrigation A conceptual landscape plan was submitted with this project's application. The applicant is required to submit a final landscape plan with an irrigation plan for the City's review and approval, prior to the issuance of any City permits. It will be requ-ired that the landscaping and irrigation be install prior to final inspection or Certificate of Occupancy.

The Planning Commission hereby finds that pursuant to the provisi f the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 15162(a) of A I rtic r the California Code of Regulations and guidelines promulgated thereunder, e City has determined that this project is consistent with the previously certified to Environmental Impact Report No. 92-02 for Tract Map No. 51169. Therefore, further environmental review is not required. 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 13 -lot subdivision approved by the City Council in the November 1994. The project site is an irregular shaped vacant lot within a gated community identified as "The Country Estates." It is approximately 69,750 gross square feet with a buildable pad area of approximately 19,603 square feet. According to Tract Map No. 51169, the project site contains an easement for slope and drainage maintenance purposes in the front, side and rear portions of the project site. The slope drainage easement is currently maintained with minimal native vegetation. Also, within the front portion of the site adjacent to Canyon View Drive are easements for access, sanitary sewer, public utility and public services. (b) The project site has a General Plan land use designation of Rural Residential (RR) Maximum One Dwelling Units per Acre. (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 and west is the R-1-20,000 Zone; and to the south and east is the R-1- 20,000 and Heavy Agricultural (A-2-2) Zones. (e) The Application request is to construct a two-story single-family residence with a basement, two, two -car garages and balconies/patios totaling to approximately 11,410 square feet. The request also includes retaining walls within the rear/side and front yards with a maximum exposed height of six feet. 0 4& DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 1P (f) The design and layout of the proposed development is consistent wit the applicable elements of the City's General Plan, City Design �40� 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). The proposed project complies with the elements of the adopted General Plan, dated July 25, 1995 and the land use designation of Rural Residential. The proposed project complies with the City's General Plan objectives and strategies relating to maintaining the integrity of residential neighborhood. The proposed design and layout is compatible with the eclectic architectural style, design, and materials/colors of existing homes within Tract No. 51169, as well as the "The Country Estates". Additionally, the applicant has obtained "The Country Estates" architecture committee approval to ensure compatibility. (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. The project site will include a single-family residence, which is similar in design and layoutof surrounding single-family residence. It is not expected to reasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future development and will not create traffic or pedestrian. hazards. Blaze Trail, Horizon Lane and Canyon View Drive adequately serve the project site and Tract No. 51169, which contains private streets designed to handle minimum traffic created by this type of , development. Furthermore, the Environmental Impact Report (Elft) for Tract Map No. 51169 addressed the issue of this project and Tract's development affect on traffic and circulation. The EIR was certified, thereby, determining that the tract would not create traffic or pedestrian hazards. Staff has reviewed the floor plan specifically noted the number of bedrooms with adjacent bathrooms in relationship to. the number of parking spaces provided in the garages. Staff believes the parking provided in relationship to the number of bedrooms is adequate for the purposed project. (h) 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, or any applicable specific plan. OF Proposed prominent architectural features of the proposed resildly1t* includes the styling and arrangement of the windows and, the varyinV*4 planes utilized on each elevation. Prominent architectural features extend to all sides of the.proposed residential structure. The proposed materials/colors board was compared to boards previously approved for homes on Canyon View Drive. 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 variation in earth tones colors, differences in roof materials/stone accent and variations in architectural styles between the proposed residence and existing residences located on Canyon View Drive, 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.
