(d) of Title 14 of the California Code of
conclusions set -forth herein, the Planning
Mows:
(a) The project site is located at 2869 Oak Knoll Drive (Lot 2, Parcel Map
No. 26235), Diamond Bar, California adjacent to a gated community
identified as "The Country Estates". It is a vacant, irregular
rectangular shaped lot with a graded flat pad and sloping up from the
pad's rear edge towar the rear property line. According to the parcel
map, the project site i approximately 1.9 gross acres (82,764 gross
square feet) with a gra led pad area of 0.7 acres (30,492 square feet).
The parcel map indi ates an easement for slope and drainage
maintenance purpos s within the rear portion of the project site
outside the pad area. Additionally, there are easements for street,
utilities and storm drain purposes within the front portion of the project
site adjacent to Oak Knoll Drive. Outside the pad and on the rear
slope, the project site contains natural vegetation as required by the
revegetation landscape mitigation plan approved for Tract Map
No. 48487, the parent Tract. No grading and/or construction activity
will occur outside the pad area. Therefore, the landscaping on the
slope will not be affected.
(b) The project site hasGeneral Plan Land Use designation of Rural
Residential Maximum
1 DU/AC (RR) and is zoned Single Family
Residential -Minimum
Lot Size 20,000 Square Feet (R-1-20,000).
(c) Generally, the followi
ig zones surround the project site: to the north
and east is the R-1,
0,000 zone; and to the south and east is the
A-2-2 zone.
(d) The application is a request
for approval to construct a two-story
single-family residence
of approximately 12,300 gross square feet
including balconies, porch
and attached four -car garage.

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
(e) The design and layout of the proposed development are consistent
with the General Plan, development standards of the applicable
district, design guidelines, and architectural criteria for specialized
area (e.g., theme areas, specific plans, community plans, boulevards,
or planned developments.
The General Plan wE s adopted on July 25, 9995, and Parcel Map
No. 26235 was appro ied by City Council on August 21, 2001, and the
Final Map was appro led on June 18, 2002. Tract Map No. 48487s
(the parent tract) conditions of approval and development standards
also apply to Parcel ap No. 26235. However, the proposed project
complies with the C ity's General Plan objectives and strategies
related to maintai 7ing density, the integrity of residential
neighborhoods and c pen space, and the City's Design Guidelines.
The project is consistent with the Tract Map No. 48487s (the parent
tract) conditions of approval and development standards which also
apply to Parcel Map No. 26235 and the City's development standards
for the RR zoning district. Furthermore, the proposed project is
compatible with the eclectic architectural style and design, materials,
and colors of existing homes within the surrounding area. 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 will not create traffic or pedestrian hazards.
Tract Map No. 4848 /Parcel Map No. 26235's Master Environmental
Impact Report No. 97-1, certified by the City, addresses the design
and layout of the neighborhood and the flow of pedestrian and
vehicular traffic. The project site is an undeveloped lot within an
approved tract designed for single-family homes.
Oak Knoll Drive and access roads in the vicinity, Wagon. Train Lane
and Steeplechase Lane, adequately serve the project site. These
private streets are designed to handle minimum traffic created by
residential development. Therefore, the use of a single-family
residence will not interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring
existing or future d velopment will not create traffic or pedestrian
hazards.
(g) The architectural design of the proposed development is compatible
with the characters tics of the surrounding neighborhood and will
maintain and enhance the harmonious, orderly and attractive
3
development contemplated by Chapter 22.48, the General Plan, City
Design Guidelines, or any applicable specific plan.
The architectural style of the proposed residence, as described by the
applicant, is Meditermnean. Architectural features include columns
that flank the front entry, window arrangement and style and roof
articulation, which assist in reducing the massing of the residential
structure and create interest with varying planes. However, the rear
elevation of the proposed residence is very horizontal in appearance.
The staff has asked the applicant to reduce the horizontality of the
rear elevation through design and/or architectural features. A
condition of approval will require the applicant to explore and modify
the rear elevation of the proposed residence.
The proposed materi IWcolors board was compared with previously
approved boards in tf a vicinity. The combinations of off-white, beige
and terracotta palette and the building's architecture blend into the
overall streetscape r icely. The selected materials and colors are
consistent and the st de is compatible with the eclectic architectural
style of other homes n neighboring Tract 48487, 47850 and 50314,
and the Country Esta es, yet allow variation in the overall palette and
textures. Therefore, t be proposed project is consistent with and will
maintain and enha ce the harmonious, orderly and attractive
development contem fated by Chapter 22.48, the General Plan, City
Design Guidelines. ere is no applicable specific plan.
(h) The design of the proposed development will provide a desirable
environment for its ccupants and visiting public, as well as its
neighbors, through good aesthetic use of materials, texture, and color
that will remain aest etically appealing.
As referenced in the above findings, colors, materials, and textures
proposed are complimentary to the existing homes within the area
while offering variety and low levels of maintenance. Therefore, the
proposed project will provide a desirable environment for its
occupants and visiti g public, as well as its neighbors, through good
aesthetic use of n aterials, texture, and color that will remain
aesthetically appeaG g. Additionally, a Covenant and Agreement is
required and runs wi h the land to maintain a single-family residence.
(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.
Structural plan chec , City permits, and inspections; soils report and
Fire Department a rovals, are required for construction. These
4
processes 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 proje t has been reviewed in compliance with the
provisions of the Cali ornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The environmental evaluation shows that the proposed project is
consistent with the previously certified Master Environmental Impact
Report No. 97-1 for Tract Map Nos. 50314 according to the California
Environmental Qua ity Act of 1970 (CEQA) and guidelines
promulgated thereunder, pursuant to Section 151 fi2(a) of Article 11 of
the California Code f Regulation. No further environmental review is
necessary.
