Regulations.
4. Based on the findings and conclusions set forth herein, this Planning
Commission hereby finds as follows:
2
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2006-15
Tentative Parcel Map Findings
(a) The proposed subdivision including design and improvements is
consistent: with the General Plan and the Diamond Bar Village
Specific Plan.
The General Plan land use designation for the project site is Specific
Plan. The adopted Specific Plan for the project area is the Diamond
Bar Village Specific Plan which designates the site for commercial
and retail uses and includes a conceptual site plan for development of
the site. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the distribution,
type, and intensity of uses displayed on the conceptual site plan. The
proposed subdivision is also consistent with the minimum lot sizes
established by the Specific Plan.
(b) The project site is physically suitable for the type and proposed
density of the development.
The project site is approximately 13.69 acres. TPM 061702 proposes
to subdivide the site into three parcels for the purpose of facilitating
the development of Parcels 2 and 3. On April 26, 2005, the Planning
Commission approved Conditional Use Permit No. 2005-03 and
Development Review No. 2005-16 for an approximately 130,000 -
square -foot retail store, parking lot and two retail/restaurant pads on
the site. Parcel 1 will be an approximately 11.98 -acre site and will
encompass the retail store currently under construction. Parcels 2 and
3 will be 1.02 and .69 -acres, respectively. The subdivision is
consistent with the Specific Plan conceptual site plan in the
distribution, intensity, and type of uses proposed for the site.
(c) The design of the subdivision or the propose improvements is not
likely to cause substantial environmental damage or injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat.
On June 29, 2005, the City Council approved an addendum to the
previously certified final environmental impacts reports (EIRs) forthe
related General Plan, Zone Change, Development Agreement, and
Diamond Bar Specific Plan. The addendum and related Final EIRs
analyzed whether the proposed map would cause substantial
environmental damage or injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The
Specific Plan included a conceptual site plan that shows the
development of the site. The proposed subdivision is consistent with
the conceptual site plan contained in the Diamond Sar Village Specific
Plan. Consequently, the proposed subdivision is consistent with the
project analyzed underthe previously approved addendum and Final
EIRs. No new environmental issues have been identified relating to
3
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2006-15
fish and wildlife and their habitat that would require additional review
for the proposed subdivision.
(d) The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to
cause serious public health or safety problems.
The previously approved addendum and Final EIRs related to the
project analyzed potential public health and safety impacts from the
design of the subdivision and improvements associated with the
project. No new environmental issues have been identified relating to
public health or safety problems. Therefore, the proposed subdivision
is not likely to cause serious health or safety problems.
(e) The design of the subdivision or types of improvements will not
conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access
through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. This
finding may not be made if the review authority finds that alternate
easements for access or use will be provided, and that they will be
substantially equivalent to ones previously required by the public.
The proposed map is located on private property and, therefore, access
easements within the project site are private property. Access to the
site will be through entry driveways on Grand Avenue and Golden
Springs Drive. The site does not have any easement acquired by the
public for access or use within the project site.
(f) The discharge sewerage from the proposed subdivision into the
community source system would not result in violation of existing
requirements prescribed by the California Regional Water Quality
Control Board.
The proposed map is required to be compliant with Regional Water
Quality Control Board requirements, the Federal Clean Water Act,
and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
program implementing construction —related Best Management
Practices (BMPs) and Standard Urban Stormwater Mitigation Plan
(SUSMP) criteria. With project design features related to the storm
drain system, energy dissipaters, standard conditions of approval,
mitigation measures, any potential significant water quality impacts
would be reduced to levels less than significant.
(g) A preliminary soils report or geological hazards report does not
indicate adverse soils or geological conditions and the subdivision has
provided sufficient information to the satisfaction of the City Engineer
or Council that the conditions can be corrected in the plan for the
development.
4
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO- 2006-15
The previously approved addendum and Final E1Rs related to the
project analyzed potential adverse soils and geologic conditions
impacts from the design of the subdivision and improvements
associated with the project. The map is consistent with the project
analyzed under the addendum and Final EIRs and no new
environmental issues have been identified relating to public health or
safety problems. Therefore, the proposed subdivision is not likely to
cause significant impacts related to adverse soils or geologic
conditions.
(h) The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable provisions
of this Title, the Development Code, any other applicable provisions of
the Municipal Code, and the Subdivision Map Act.
The proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan and
Diamond ,Bar Village Specific Plan land use designation. it will be
graded in compliance with the City's applicable hillside management
standards. The physical size and design of the proposed subdivision
will allow for compliance with all applicable standards in the
Development Code. The proposed map is consistent with Title 21, the
City's subdivision ordinance, and the Subdivision Map Act
requirements as conditioned in this resolution.

Specific Plan. The Specific Plan document included a Conceptual
Site Plan that illustrates the development concept. The proposed
project is a Design Review and it is determined that the project design
is in conformance with the Specific Plan Conceptual Site Plan.
Furthermore, it is determined that no new environmental issues have
been identified and that none of the elements set forth in Public
Resources Code Section 21166 or Section 15162 of the California
Environmental Quality Act Guidelines (CEQA) exists, therefore, no
further environmental review is required.
3. The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds and determined 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 proposed project 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:
2
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2006-15
Tentative Parcel Map Findings
(a) The proposed subdivision including design and improvements is
consistent with the General Plan and the Diamond Bar Village
Specific Plan.
The General Plan land use designation for the project site is Specific
Plan. The adopted Specific Plan for the project area is the Diamond
Bar Village Specific Plan which designates the site for commercial
and retail uses and includes a conceptual site plan for development of
the site. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the distribution,
type, and intensity of uses displayed on the conceptual site plan. The
proposed subdivision is also consistent with the minimum lot sizes
established by the Specific Plan.
(b) The project site is physically suitable for the type and proposed
density of the development.
The project site is approximately 13.69 acres. TPM 061702 proposes
to subdivide the site into three parcels for the purpose of facilitating
the development of Parcels 2 and 3. On April 26, 2005, the Planning
Commission approved Conditional Use Permit No. 2005-03 and
Development Review No. 2005-16 for an approximately 130,000 -
square -foot retail store, parking lot and two retail/restaurant pads on
the site. Parcel 1 will be an approximately 11.98 -acre site and will
encompass the retail store currently under construction. Parcels 2 and
3 will be 1.02 and .69 -acres, respectively. The subdivision is
consistent with the Specific Plan conceptual site plan in the
distribution, intensity, and type of uses proposed for the site.
(c) The design of the subdivision or the propose improvements is not
likely to cause substantial environmental damage or injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat.
On June 29, 2005, the City Council approved an addendum to the
previously certified final environmental impacts reports (EIRs) for the
related General Plan, Zone Change, Development Agreement, and
Diamond Bar Specific Plan. The addendum and related Final EIRs
analyzed whether the proposed map would cause substantial
environmental damage or injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The
Specific Plan included a conceptual site plan that shows the
development of the site. The proposed subdivision is consistent with
the conceptual site plan contained in the Diamond Bar Village Specific
Plan. Consequently, the proposed subdivision is consistent with the
project analyzed under the previously approved addendum and Final
EIRs. No new environmental issues have been identified relating to
3
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.2006-15
fish and wildlife and their habitat that would require additional review
for the proposed subdivision.
(d) The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to
cause serious public health or safety problems.
The previously approved addendum and Final EIRs related to the
project analyzed potential public health and safety impacts from the
design of the subdivision and improvements associated with the
project. No new environmental issues have been identified relating to
public health or safety problems. Therefore, the proposed subdivision
is not likely to cause serious health or safety problems.
(e) The design of the subdivision or types of improvements will not
conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access
through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. This
finding may not be made if the review authority finds that alternate
easements for access or use will be provided, and that they will be
substantially equivalent to ones previously required by the public.
(f)
(9)
The proposed map is located on private property and, therefore, access
easements within the project site are private property. Access to the
site will be through entry driveways on Grand Avenue and Golden
Springs Drive. The site does not have any easement acquired by the
public for access or use within the project site.
The discharge sewerage from the proposed subdivision into the
community source system would not result in violation of existing
requirements prescribed by the California Regional Water Quality
Control Board.
The proposed map is required to be compliant with Regional Water
Quality Control Board requirements, the Federal Clean Water Act,
and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
program implementing construction -related Best Management
Practices (BMPs) and Standard Urban Stormwater Mitigation Plan
(SUSMP) criteria. With project design features related to the storm
drain system, energy dissipaters, standard conditions of approval,
mitigation measures, any potential significant water quality impacts
would be reduced to levels less than significant.
A preliminary soils report or geological hazards report does not
indicate adverse soils or geological conditions and the subdivision has
provided sufficient information to the satisfaction of the City Engineer
or Council that the conditions can be corrected in the plan for the
development.
4
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2006-15
The previously approved addendum and Final EIRs related to the
project analyzed potential adverse soils and geologic conditions
impacts from the design of the subdivision and improvements
associated with the project. The map is consistent with the project
analyzed under the addendum and Final EIRs and no new
environmental issues have been identified relating to public health or
safety problems. Therefore, the proposed subdivision is not likely to
cause significant impacts related to adverse soils or geologic
conditions.
(h) The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable provisions
of this Title, the Development Code, any other applicable provisions of
the Municipal Code, and the Subdivision Map Act.
The proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan and
Diamond Bar Village Specific Plan land use designation. It will be
graded in compliance with the City's applicable hillside management
standards. The physical size and design of the proposed subdivision
will allow for compliance with all applicable standards in the
Development Code. The proposed map is consistent with Title 21, the
City's subdivision ordinance, and the Subdivision Map Act
requirements as conditioned in this resolution.
