Copley Drive Diamond Bar, CA 91765 AssocP/Lungu presented staff's report. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt recommending City Council approval of Development Code amendment No. 2001-03 and Negative Declaration No. 2001-04. Chair/Zirbes opened the public hearing. OCTOBER 23, 2001 PAGE 4 til/: ►1�1' ► 1 uIiLLI 1 Ralph James, West Coast Custom Rooms, 786 Pinefalls Avenue, Walnut, said that over the past couple of years his firm has lost a number of opportunities to build patio additions for Diamond Bar residents because of the requirements imposed by the 30 percent lot coverage requirement. Richard Malooly said he sees no negative impact by allowing lot coverage to be increased to 40 percent and hopes the Commission will consider the increase. Harry An said he has no concept of what 30 percent or 40 percent looks like and suggested renderings of the different percentages would be helpful. Chair/Zirbes closed the public hearing. There was general concurrence that 40 percent lot coverage in conjunction with elimination of paving for vehicle use from site coverage criteria is a reasonable solution that will make small additions more affordable for residential homeowners. Chair/Zirbes suggested Item D — Landscape Maintenance read as follows: Front yards and side setback areas visible from the streets shall be landscaped with lawns, trees, shrubs and other plant material, and shall be permanently maintained in a neat and orderly manner. All lot areas shall be substantially free of weeds, debris and dead, diseased or dying vegetation, etc.". Following extensive discussion, VC/Ruzicka moved to adopt a resolution recommending City Council approval of Development Code Amendment No. 2001-03 and Negative Declaration No. 2001-04. C/Tye seconded the motion and asked that the motion be amended to retain Rural Residential lot coverage at 30 percent. VC/Ruzicka agreed to the amendment. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: NOES: COMIVIISSIONERS: ABSENT: COMMISSIONER& Kuo, Nelson, Tye, VC/Ruzicka, Chair/Zirbes None None 9. PLANNING CONE%HSSION CON MIENTS: C/Nelson credited staff for their presentation on Item 8.2. Prior to the presentation, the proposal did not feel right to him. He was able to support the proposed development code amendment when he understood that the proposal addressed small additions such as bump -outs and patios. VC/Ruzicka concurred with C/Nelson. His concern was to differentiate between what Diamond Bar wants and what was dumped on the City by Los Angeles County. He hopes staff will bring back language to take care of the hillside and slope maintenance situation.

The project's situs address is 2828 Crystal Ridge Road, Diamond Bar, California. It is the vacant Lot 33 of Tract 47850, and part of a 50 -lot subdivision, with graded buildable pads adjacent to "The Country Estates". The City Council approved the subdivision June 6, 1995. The irregularly shaped lot has a flat buildable pad with an 18 feet slope on the north side and currently an 11 feet slope (differential in elevation) from Lot 33 to 46 at the rear. There is a sewer easement and 30 feet utility easement at the front of the lot. The lot is approximately .71 gross acres. The property contains no protected/preserved oak trees. The slopes contain some vegetation, however the vegetation is not part of the mitigation monitoring plan. The project site is zoned Single Family Residential -Minimum Lot Size 20,000 Square Feet (R-1-20,000) and the General Plan Land Use designation is Rural Residential (RR), Maximum I DU/AC. Generally, the following zones surround the subject site: to the north and east is R-1-20,000; to the south is Heavy Agricultural -Minimum Lot Size 2 Acres (A-2- 2); and the west is R-1-20,000 and Single Family Residence -Minimum Lot Size 9,000 Square Feet (R-1-9,000). ANALYSIS: REVIEW AUTHORITY The Variance application, pursuant to Development Code Section 22.54, is a request for a decreased rear setback for the tennis court. 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 require compliance with the development standards. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS The following is a comparison of the City's and tract map's approved development standards and the project's proposed development standards: City/Map Development Standards Project's Proposed Development Standards Accessory Structures: Setbacks per 4. Accessory Structures: Development Code at time of permit: Tennis Court Tennis Court ® Front yard -30' from property line ® Located in rear yard -Not applicable ® Side yards -10'& 15' ® Side yards -10' & 18' ® Rear yard -25' Rear yard -1 6'* *Except for the decreased 16 feet rear setback, the above analysis indicates that the proposed residence complies with Tract Map No. 47850's development standards. Tract 47850 is not annexed to "The Country Estates"; therefore, review by their homeowners' association is not necessary. TENNIS COURT SETBACKS Vesting Tract Map No. 47850 was approved with design standards that allowed the following minimum setbacks: Front — 25 feet, Sides —10 feet and 15 feet, Rear — 25 feet. Accessory structures were to be permitted utilizing setbacks consistent with the residential zoning designation for the property at the time of permit issuance. K - When -1 the - City was - utilizing - the Los Angeles County Code - which applied - to o Vesting - Tract Map No. 47851 (approved with VTM 47850) for accessory structures, tennis courts were required to be a minimum five feet from any property line. The City considers a tennis court an accessory structure. The current Development Code requires that a tennis court maintain the same setbacks as the residential structure. In this case the rear setback should be maintained at 25 feet, not 5 feet per the Los Angeles County Code. The current Development Code requires that a decrease in setbacks utilize the Minor Variance or Variance process. For this project a Variance is required with the Commissions review and approval for a 16 feet rear setback. Within Vesting Tract No. 47850, tennis courts were expected to be a frequently requested accessory structure. Many lots within this tract were designed and graded to accommodate tennis courts with a five foot setback (due to the code at the time allowing five foot setbacks for accessory structures) and the ability to install a retaining wall cuffing into the slope and creating a pad to accommodate a tennis court. Retaining walls were planned to cut into the slope, so the impacts of the wall and its height would affect only the subject site. In this case, the majority of the recreational area is located in the rear yard. The elevation of Lot 33 is 1007.5. The elevation of Lot 45 is 1018.5 and the elevation of Lot 32 is 1025.5. A Lot Line Adjustment has been approved for Lot 32 and Lot 47, which created one big lot. A tennis court is on Lot 32 at the rear of the combined lot, therefore Lot 33's tennis court will not impact Lot 32. The impact to Lot 46 would be minimal since the overall height of Lot 33's tennis court and fencing is conditioned to be no higher than Lot 46's rear fence (1024.5). Staff is recommending that the tennis court width be reduced 4 feet from the rear property line. A Minor Variance would still be required for a decreased setback of 20 feet. SITE PLAN 0 Grading/Drainage/Retaining Walls/Setback The buildable pad was created with the tract's original grading. Grading plans for the cut into the slopes for the retaining walls and grading will be reviewed and approved by the Public Works Division. The Applicant proposes to raise the pad of the tennis court by 2 feet in order to eliminate hauling dirt from the site. The proposed elevation differential will be 9 feet at the rear instead of 11 feet. Staff recommends that the tennis court elevation be minimized to allow for drainage only and not be elevated two feet as proposed. Public Works recommends a maximum of one foot from the existing pad elevation, 1007.5. Export will be required with the plan revision, but staff anticipates minimal trucking. 3 Additionally, staff is recommending that the tennis court be moved four feet out of the rear setback for a total setback decrease of five feet or to the Minor Variance standard of 20%. This can be accomplished by decreasing the width of the court by the same amount at the back wall. By doing this, the walls should not exceed the maximum exposed height allowed by the Development Code. A typical tennis court playing surface is 78 feet by 27 feet and the surround concrete area usually totals 120 feet by 60 feet. The proposed --court is- 1.10__ feet by 55 feet. With the proposed reduction, the width it would be 51 feet and the length would remain at 110 feet. Though the proposed tennis court length is less than recommended by the United States Tennis Association, the width can be reduced and still be within the guidelines (see attached United States Tennis Association information). Walls with a maximum exposed height of seven feet may be approved in consideration of varying topography per the Development Code. By minimizing the elevation of the tennis court pad and moving- the rear wall to a setback of 20 feet, a seven foot exposed wall height is obtainable. Should it be required to have walls of eight feet, a Minor Variance is obtainable. The tennis court is not in a Slope Drainage Maintenance Easement, the maximum seven feet height is compatible with development standards, the wall holds a cut, and the wall is visible to the project site's property owner and within the tennis court fencing. These items are reviewed on a case by case basis. Two tennis courts with varying setbacks and retaining wall heights exceeding six -seven feet for Tract 47850 were also reviewed on a case-by-case basis and this proposed tennis court is consistent with those previous Planning Commission approvals, Variance No. 00-03 and Variance No. 01-02. TENNIS COURT FENCING/LIGHTING The tennis court fencing is proposed to be brown vinyl clap chain link at a height of 10 feet. It will surround the court and be placed upon the proposed retaining ining walls. When placed upon the wall, the wall/tennis court fencing height will not exceed 10 feet. Exterior pole light fixtures will be utilized to light the tennis court. The light fixtures will be located within the setback and are proposed at a height of 18 feet. Pursuant to the Code, these fixtures shall not be located closer than 10 feet to the adjacent property line and not be located more than 18 feet from the court surface. The light poles will have a six-foot extension arm; the Code requires a minimum of four feet. The fixtures will be shielded in a manner that completely cuts off the light source when viewed from any point five feet or more beyond the property line. The incident light level at a property line is required to not exceed one -foot-candle measured from grade at a 12 -foot height. The incident light level upon any habitable building on an adjacent property shall not exceed .5 foot-candle. The applicant will be required to demonstrate the incident light levels and the one -foot-candle measurement to the Building and Safety Division. In the event that the illuminated court surface is visible from another parcel, it shall be required that the applicant treats the court surface with a low reflecting, dark -colored coating. Additionally, tennis court lighting shall -19 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. VIEW IMPACT The terrain in the vicinity of Crystal Ridge Road is hilly. The subject site is generally at a lower elevation than its northerly and easterly neighbors and is at a higher elevation than the southerly neighbors. By maintaining the allowed height requirements, the proposed residential structure allows view corridors for the neighboring properties. Therefore, the proposed residence will not be significantly detrimental with respect to view blockage impact. The Public Works Division and the Building and Safety Division reviewed this project. Their recommendations are a component of the draft resolution. NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING: On October 29, 2001, fifty-three property owners within a 500 -foot radius of the project site were notified by mail. On November 2, 2001, notification of the public hearing for this project was made in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune and Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspapers. Additionally, three other sites were posted within the vicinity of the application and a notice of public hearing on a display board was posted at the site and displayed at least 10 days before the public hearing. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: The environmental evaluation shows1hat the proposed project is consistent with the previously certified Master Environmental Impact Report No. 91-2 for Tract Map Nos. 47850, 47851 and 48487 according to the Cali ' fornia Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA) and guidelines promulgated thereunder, pursuant to Section 15162(a) of Article 11 of the California code of Regulation. No further environmental review is necessary. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Variance No. 2001-08, Findings of Fact, and conditions of approval with revisions as discussed by staff and as listed within the attached resolution. REQUIRED VARIANCE FINDINGS 1. There are special circumstances applicable to the property (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; 2. 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__ district and denied to the property owner for which the Variance is sought; 3. Granting the Variance is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan; 4. The proposed entitlement would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City; and 5. The proposed entitlement has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

On November 13, 2001, 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 California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970 and guidelines promulgated thereunder,'pursuant to Section 15162 (a) of Article 11 of the California Code of 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. It is located at 2828 Crystal Ridge Road and is adjacent to a gated community identified as "The Country Estates." The irregularly shaped lot has a flat buildable pad with an 18 feet slope on the north side and currently an 11 feet slope (differential in elevation) from Lot 33 to 46 at the rear. There is a sewer easement and 30 feet utility easement at the front of the lot. The lot is approximately .71 gross acres. The property contains no protected/preserved oak trees. The slopes contain some vegetation, however the vegetation is not part of the mitigation monitoring plan. (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 and east is the R-1-20,000 Zone; to the south is the Agriculture (AG) 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 for approval to construct a tennis court with a decreased rear setback and retaining walls not exceeding an exposed height of seven feet located within the rear and side yards.

In this case the majority of the recreational area is located in the rear yard. As such, this yard area is the most feasible location for the tennis court. Therefore, a retaining wall is needed cutting into the slope, thereby creating a tennis court pad. Furthermore, the retaining wall will be utilized to create a minimal increased amount of recreational area in the rear and north slope. Since the retaining walls are holding a cut, they will be viewed from the proposed residential structure and will not impact the neighboring views.
