7. On May 24, 2011, the Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar
conducted a duly noticed public hearing, solicited testimony from all interested
individuals, and concluded said hearing on that date.
B. RESOLUTION
NOW, THEREFORE, it is found, determined and resolved by the Planning
Commission of the City of Diamond Bar as follows:
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 the Project to be Categorically
Exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to the provisions of Article 19, Section 15301 (existing facility) of the
CEQA Guidelines. Therefore, no further environmental review is required.
C. FINDINGS OF FACT
Based on the findings and conclusions set forth herein and as prescribed under
Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Section 22.58, this Planning Commission
hereby finds as follows:
Conditional Use Permit Review Findings (DBMC Section 22.58)
The proposed use is allowed within the subject zoning district with the approval
of a conditional use permit and complies with all other applicable provisions of
this Development Code and the Municipal Code;
Pursuant to DBMC Section 22.10.030, Table 2-6, a specialized education and
training school is permitted in the Industrial zoning district with approval of a
conditional use permit.
2. The proposed use is consistent with the general plan and any applicable
specific plan;
The proposed use is consistent with General Plan Strategy 1.3.3: ("Encourage
neighborhood serving retail and service commercial uses") in that the proposed
tutoring center meets Strategy 1.3.3 because the proposed tutoring center
provides services to Diamond Bar residents.
The site is not subject to the provisions of any specific plan.
3. The design, location, size and operating characteristics of the proposed use are
compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity;
The proposed use is located within a multi -tenant industrial park occupied by
various warehouses and -service uses including a reproduction/copy center.
The proposed tutoring center will be compatible with uses in close proximity
such as the music school and the dance school located within the same
industrial park across the street of the proposed site. Discovery World
Montessori preschool/elementary school is also located in close proximity to the
proposed tutoring center. As such, the operational characteristics of the
proposed tutoring center are compatible with the existing land uses in the
vicinity. Through compliance with the conditions of approval stipulating the
manner in which the, use must be conducted, the proposed use will be
compatible with neighboring uses in the industrial park.
2
Conditional Use Permit No. PL 2011-58
4. 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 project site is located within an existing industrial park that has other
educational uses. The proposed use is compatible with other uses in the
surrounding areas such as a music and dance school to the west and a
preschool and elementary school to the southeast. Based on staffs field study
and parking requirements per the Development Code, it is estimated that at
least 20 spaces would be available during business hours at all times to
accommodate staff parking and student pick-up/drop-offs. A condition is added
to the project requiring the applicant to stagger the starting time of each class in
15 minute intervals, with the total student enrollment capped at 60 students.
Given the expected pattern of trip generation throughout the day, it is highly
unlikely for parking to be deficient during the brief periods of turnover for the
pick-up and drop-off of students. Based on the analysis, it is unlikely that there
will be parking congestion of patrons looking for spaces during pick-up and
drop-off times. Moreover, staff is recommending a condition of approval to
review the application in six months, to assess the operations of the use and
parking impacts.
5. 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;
and
Prior to the issuance of any city permits, the proposed project is required to
comply with all conditions of approval within the attached resolution, and the
Building and Safety Division.
6. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality, Act (CEQA) as set forth under Article 19
Section 15301 (existing facility) of the CEQA Guidelines.
D. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
Based upon the findings and conclusion set forth above, the Planning Commission
hereby approves this application subject to the following conditions:
The establishment is approved as a tutoring center as described in the
application on file with the Planning Division, the Planning Commission staff
report for Conditional Use Permit PL 2011-058 dated April 26 and May 24,
2011, and the Planning Commission minutes pertaining thereto, hereafter
referred to as the "Use". The use shall be limited to a tutoring center.
3
Conditional Use Permit No. PL 2011.58
2. The Use shall substantially conform to the approved plans as submitted and
approved by the Planning Commission and on file with the Community
Development Department.
3. This Conditional Use Permit shall be valid only for 782-784 Pinefalls Avenue, as
depicted on the approved plans on file with the Planning Division. If the
proposed use moves to a different location or expands into additional tenant
spaces, the approved Conditional Use Permit shall terminate and a new
Conditional Use Permit, subject to Planning Commission and/or City Council
approval shall be required for the new location. If the Use ceases to operate,
the approved Conditional Use Permit shall expire without further action by the
City.
4. This approval specifies limitations on class sizes and business hours based on
the presumption that the proposed use will operate in a manner that does not
deviate significantly from the operating characteristics described in the
Conditional Use Permit application, as summarized below:
a. Class hours — Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.;
b. Staggered start times of each class in 15 minute intervals, with a total of
six sessions per day;
C. Thirty or fewer students and three instructors at any one time; and
d. Total student enrollment of 60 students.
If, at any time, the City finds that the proposed use is the cause of a parking
deficiency of other land use impact, the Community Development Director may
refer the matter back to the Planning Commission to consider amending this
Conditional Use Permit to address such impacts.
5. The Conditional Use Permit shall be reviewed six months after approval to allow
the Commission to assess the adequacy of the parking and operations of the
use. The applicant shall submit a notarized letter stating the total student
enrollment. This would give the Commission the ability to further condition the
project if actual operating experience within the six months showed it
necessary, by changing the hours of operation, class times, and/or reducing
enrollment.
6. No changes to the approved scope of services comprising the use shall be
permitted unless the applicant first applies for an amendment to this Conditional
Use Permit, pays all application processing fees and receives approval from the
Planning Commission and/or City Council.
