B. RESOLUTION
NOW, THEREFORE, it is found, determined and resolved by the Planning

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 determines that the project identified
above in this Resolution is categorically exempt from the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as amended, and the
guidelines promulgated thereunder, pursuant Section 15301(e) of Article 19
of Chapter 3 of Title 14 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 an existing shopping center identified as
Country Hills Town Center located at the 2800 block of South
Diamond Bar Boulevard. The Taekwondo Studio will occupy units
addressed as 21335 and 21337 Cold Spring Lane. The shopping
center is approximately 18 acres divided into several parcels that
contain a total of approximately 172,498 square feet of structure used
for retail/commercial/office/restaurant.
(b) The General Plan land use designation for the project site is General
Commercial (C).
(c) The zoning designation for the project site is Restricted Business
(C-2) zone in which the development standards for Community
Commercial apply.
(d) Generally, the following zones surround the project site:
North: R-1-7,500;
South: RPD -15U;
East: R-1-20,000 and R-1-7, 500 zones; and
West: R-1-7,500 zone.
(e) Pursuant to Development Code Sections 22.58 and 22.10.030 -
Table 2-6, this application is a request to obtain the appropriate
Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of a Taekwondo studio
that teaches the ancient Korean art of self-defense. The proposed
studio is identified as YIC Taekwondo. The Taekwondo Studio was
approved by the Planning Commission on September 14, 2004, via
Conditional Use Permit No. 2004-04 and Planning Commission
Resolution No. 2004-39. The Conditional Use Permit was approved
only for Lot 6 of Parcel Map 18722 within Country Hills Towne Center.
With the shopping center's remodeling, the Taekwondo Studio needs
to be relocated. The Taekwondo Studio has moved from a unit of
approximately 4,800 square feet to a unit of approximately 3,072
2
square feet. The unit will consist of the main gym, secondary gym,
two restrooms, two locker rooms reception area, storage room and
office.
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 Taekwondo Studio is permitted in the C-2 zone with a Conditional
Use Permit approval and as conditioned herein will comply with all
other applicable provisions of the Development Code and the
Municipal Code.
The Y1C Taekwondo studio was approved by the Planning
Commission Planning Commission Resolution No. 2004-39. The
Conditional Use Permit was approved only for Lot 6 of Parcel Map
18722 (2815 Diamond Bar Boulevard) within Country Hill Towne
Center. With the remodeling of the shopping center, the Taekwondo
Studio needs to be relocated.
The application request is to relocate the existing Taekwondo Studio
within Country Hills Towne Center. Due to the remodeling of the
shopping center, the Taekwondo Studio made a quick move to 21335
and 21337 Cold Spring.) Since the original Conditional Use Permit
was site specific within Country Hills Towne Center and the applicant
has relocated, the original Conditional Use Permit must be termination
and a new one approved.
The new location of the Taekwondo Studio will not be a permanent
location. When the remodeling of Country Hills Towne Center is
completed, the Taekwondo Studio will be relocated again. Since the
Condition Use Permit runs with the land, rather than locking the
applicant to one particular parcel within a shopping center, staff will
consider the shopping center as one cohesive site and allow the
applicant to move to a different location within the shopping center
when construction is completed with a Plot Plan approval by staff.
(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 General
Commercial (C) which provides for the establishment of regional,
freeway -oriented, and/or community retail and service commercial
3
uses. The Taekwondo Studio is considered a service use which is
consistent with the General Plan land use designation for the project
site. 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 approximately 18 acres and developed with an
existing shopping center of approximately 172,498 square feet of
structure with landscaping and approximately 1,012 parking stalls.
The Taekwondo Studio will occupy a unit of approximately 3,072
square feet. The use will not cause the addition of square footage to
the shopping center, nor will the relocation of the existing use change
the shopping center physically. However, the reason for the
relocation is that the shopping center is being remodeled. The new
location is temporary until the remodeling is completed and the
Taekwondo Studio has a permanent location within the shopping
center.
When the Country Hills Towne Center remodeling and construction of
additional square footage was approved by the Planning Commission,
a shared parking analysis was part of that review. The shared
parking analysis considered a wide variety of uses (i.e., supermarket,
retail, office, spa, restaurants, fast food, AAA office and medical
offices) in its analysis. The results showed that the number of parking
stalls needed at peak time (weekday at 1:00 p.m./weekend at
8:00 p.m.) is 1,003 parking stalls. It was agreed that the 1,012 parking
stalls provided for the shopping center was adequate with a condition
of approval that placed a cap on the maximum square footage for
restaurants and outdoor dinning of 53,397 square feet.
Pursuant to Development Code, it is required that 20 parking stalls be
provided for the Taekwondo Studio. This is based on one parking stall
for each 150 square feet of the 3,072 square feet unit occupied by the
Taekwondo Studio. Since the Taekwondo Studio is an existing use
and considered in the shared parking analysis, staff anticipates that
the parking stalls provided at the shopping center will be adequate to
continue to support the Taekwondo Studio.
The applicant anticipates special events/exhibitions taking place once
or twice a year. It will be required that the applicant obtain a
Temporary Use Permit approval for special events as require by
Development Code Section 22.50.
4
(i) 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;
The Taekwondo Studio, as referenced above in Items (t), (g) and (h),
meets the required development standards for C-2 zone with a
Conditional Use Permit and as conditioned in this resolution will be
compatible with existing and future land uses. Provisions for utilities
exist at the project site. Access to the shopping center exists and the
proposed use does not require access modification. As a result, the
subject site is physically suitable for the type and density/intensify of
use being proposed including access, provision of utilities,
compatibility with adjoining land uses and the absence of physical
constraints
Q) 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 (t) through (i), the Taekwondo Studio as
conditioned herein will meet the City's development standards.
Furthermore, prior to the issuance of any City permits, the proposed
project is required to comply with all conditions within the approved
resolution and requirements set forth by the City's Building and Safety
Division. 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 QualityAct
(CEQA) of 9970, as amended and the guidelines promulgated
thereunder, this project is categorically exempt pursuant to
Section 15301(e) of Article 99 of Chapter 3 of Title 14 the California

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 an existing shopping center identified as
Country Hills Town Center located at the 2800 block of South
Diamond Bar Boulevard. The Taekwondo Studio will occupy units
addressed as 21335 and 21337 Cold Spring Lane. The shopping
center is approximately 18 acres divided into several parcels that
contain a total of approximately 172,498 square feet of structure used
for retail/commercial/office/restaurant.
(b) The General Plan land use designation for the project site is General
Commercial (C).
(c) The zoning designation for the project site is Restricted Business
(C-2) zone in which the development standards for Community

(d) Generally, the following zones surround the project site:
North: R-1-7,500;
South: RPD -15U;
East: R-1-20,000 and R-1-7, 500 zones; and
West: R-1-7,500 zone.
(e) Pursuant to Development Code Sections 22.58 and 22.10.030 -
Table 2-6, this application is a request to obtain the appropriate
Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of a Taekwondo studio
that teaches the ancient Korean art of self-defense. The proposed

approved by the Planning Commission on September 14, 2004, via
Conditional Use Permit No. 2004-04 and Planning Commission
Resolution No. 2004-39. The Conditional Use Permit was approved
only for Lot 6 of Parcel Map 18722 within Country Hills Towne Center.
With the shopping center's remodeling, the Taekwondo Studio needs
to be relocated. The Taekwondo Studio has moved from a unit of
approximately 4,800 square feet to a unit of approximately 3,072
2
square feet. The unit will consist of the main gym, secondary gym,
two restroorns, two locker rooms reception area, storage room and
office.
Conditional Use Permit
(f)
(9)
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 Taekwondo Studio is permitted in the C-2 zone with a Conditional
Use Permit approval and as conditioned herein will comply with all
other applicable provisions of the Development Code and the
Municipal Code.
The YIC Taekwondo studio was approved by the Planning
Commission Planning Commission Resolution No. 2004-39. The
Conditional Use Permit was approved only for Lot 6 of Parcel Map
18722 (2815 Diamond Bar Boulevard) within Country Hill Towne
Center. With the remodeling of the shopping center, the Taekwondo
Studio needs to be relocated.
The application request is to relocate the existing Taekwondo Studio
within Country Hills Towne Center. Due to the remodeling of the
shopping center, the Taekwondo Studio made a quick move to 21335
and 21337 Cold Spring.) Since the original Conditional Use Permit
was site specific within Country Hills Towne Center and the applicant
has relocated, the original Conditional Use Permit must be termination
and a new one approved.
The new location of the Taekwondo Studio will not be a permanent
location. When the remodeling of Country Hills Towne Center is
completed, the Taekwondo Studio will be relocated again. Since the
Condition Use Permit runs with the land, rather than locking the
applicant to one particular parcel within a shopping center, staff will
consider the shopping center as one cohesive site and allow the
applicant to move to a different location within the shopping center
when construction is completed with a Plot Plan approval by staff.
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 General
Commercial (C) which provides for the establishment of regional,
freeway -oriented, and/or community retail and service commercial
3
uses. The Taekwondo Studio is considered a service use which is
consistent with the General Plan land use designation for the project
site. 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 approximately 18 acres and developed with an
existing shopping center of approximately 172,498 square feet of
structure with landscaping and approximately 1,012 parking stalls.
The Taekwondo Studio will occupy a unit of approximately 3,072
square feet. The use will not cause the addition of square footage to
the shopping center,- nor will the relocation of the existing use change
the shopping center physically. However, the reason for the
relocation is that the shopping center is being remodeled. The new
location is temporary until the remodeling is completed and the
Taekwondo Studio has a permanent location within the shopping
center.
When the Country Hills Towne Center remodeling and construction of
additional square footage was approved by the Planning Commission,
a shared parking analysis was part of that review. The shared
parking analysis considered a wide variety of uses (i.e., supermarket,
retail, office, spa, restaurants, fast food, AAA office and medical
offices) in its analysis. The results showed that the number of parking
stalls needed at peak time (weekday at 1:00 p.m./weekend at
8:00 p.m.) is 1,003 parking stalls. It was agreed that the 1,012 parking
stalls provided for the shopping center was adequate with a condition
of approval that placed a cap on the maximum square footage for
restaurants and outdoor dinning of 53,397 square feet.
Pursuant to Development Code, it is required that 20 parking stalls be
provided for the Taekwondo Studio. This is based on one parking stall
for each 150 square feet of the 3,072 square feet unit occupied by the
Taekwondo Studio. Since the Taekwondo Studio is an existing use
and considered in the shared parking analysis, staff anticipates that
the parking stalls provided at the shopping center will be adequate to
continue to support the Taekwondo Studio.
The applicant anticipates special events/exhibitions taking place once
or twice a year. It will be required that the applicant obtain a
Temporary Use Permit approval for special events as require by
Development Code Section 22.50.

of use being proposed including access, provision of utilities,
compatibility with adjoining land uses and the absence of physical
constraints;
The Taekwondo Studio, as referenced above in Items (t), (g) and (h),
meets the required development standards for C-2 zone with a
Conditional Use Permit and as conditioned in this resolution will be
compatible with existing and future land uses. Provisions for utilities
exist at the project site. Access to the shopping center exists and the
proposed use does not require access modification. As a result, the
subject site is physically suitable for the type and density/intensify of
use being proposed including access, provision of utilities,
compatibility with adjoining land uses and the absence of physical
constraints
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 (0 through (i), the Taekwondo Studio as
conditioned herein will meet the City's development standards.
Furthermore, prior to the issuance of any City permits, the proposed
project is required to comply with all conditions within the approved
resolution and requirements set forth by the City's Building and Safety
Division. Therefore, granting the Conditional Use Permit will not be
