PROJECT ADDRESS: 23331 Ridgeline Road Diamond Bar, CA 91765 PROPERTY OWNER: Tuan Tran 23331 Ridgeline Road Diamond Bar, CA 91765 APPLICANT: An Ha 3140 Trask Avenue, Suite 202 Garden Grove, CA 92844 AP/Espinoza presented staff’s report and recommended Planning Commission approval of Development Review, Minor Conditional Use Permit and Tree Permit No. PL2017-138, based on the Findings of Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed within the resolution. Chair/Barlas opened the public hearing. Ronald, adjacent neighbor to the property owner, said he was concerned about termites during the renovation process and wanted to know the project timeline. C/Mok asked if the speaker was concerned that if the property had termites that they might fly to his residence and infect his property; and, why was he concerned about the timeline? Ronald responded they were curious about the timeline. Mr. Tran, property owner, said this is the first he has heard of the termite concern and he does not have the knowledge or capability to answer that question. The timeline varies but with all parties involved he believes it might be about one year from commencement of construction. Chair/Barlas closed the public hearing. VC/Farago moved, C/Rawlings seconded, to approve Development Review, Minor Conditional Use Permit and Tree Permit No. Pl2017-138, based on the Findings of Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed within the draft resolution.

This is something that is beyond the scope of this agenda item which has to do with the proposed design. If the speaker wished to provide staff with a telephone number or a way to contact him, planning staff will check with the City’s Building Official and provide an answer as to how the City may be required to deal with that issue. 8. PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS/INFORMATIONAL ITEMS: None 9. STAFF COMMENTS/INFORMATIONAL ITEMS: 9.1 Project Status Report. CDD/Gubman said the next regular meeting is scheduled for May 28; however, that meeting will be canceled due to lack of business items. Tonight’s meeting will be adjourned to June 11, 2019, where one of the items scheduled for that agenda is the Conditional Use Permit application item the Commission was unable to hear this evening along with any other items that may be ready to go on the agenda for that date. CDD/Gubman stated that the Cal Poly College of Urban and Regional Planning included a class on Placemaking and the topic for this past semester was Placemaking in Diamond Bar. He attended the presentation last Wednesday and the students presented very interesting case studies in Diamond Bar with perspectives that those with years of experience may not consider in the way of those of younger minds. The students looked at seven sites including many of the study areas in the General Plan update and also provided ideas and graphic concepts for other areas including the H-Mart Center and how that might be intensified to include a residential component, as well as a second look at the intersection of Grand Avenue/Diamond Bar Boulevard as a possible Town Center. Barring all other constraints (traffic, etc.) they looked at how that area/site could potentially transform should traffic congestion and other transit opportunities could possibly facilitate more active/pedestrian oriented type activities. It was an enjoyable afternoon and there may be a way to reference some of their ideas and/or concepts in the General Plan update when it is finalized. C/Mok asked if CDD/Gubman would be sharing information on the students’ study with the City Council and, were the participant’s residents of Diamond Bar and were they familiar with the entire City. 4.1 Packet Pg. 9 __________________________________________________________________________ MAY 14, 2019 PAGE 5 PLANNING COMMISSION __________________________________________________________________________ CDD/Gubman responded to C/Mok that most were not residents of Diamond Bar but they clearly spent a lot of time doing reconnaissance and site specific studies and knew their project areas very well and provided very insightful responses to CDD/Gubman’s questions. He has not thought of other ways of sharing the information. He will be getting copies of their design studies and will see if there is a good way to share the information with everyone to spark some interest. C/Mok said he would be very interested to learn of their ideas. C/Rawlings wondered if there were programs to help the City address the transportation part and team those people up with the planning students. He appreciated CDD/Gubman’s participation and hoped there would be creative ideas to deal with the traffic/transportation issue. CDD/Gubman said that at the beginning of the semester he spoke to the class to help facilitate direction on approaching their projects. He was vested in seeing the outcome of the study. The issues of traffic were discussed and solutions will likely require technological evolution with micro-transit and other modes of transportation, as well as having City shuttles that would circulate around the seven study areas. There was a great deal of focus on adding residential to those areas which is important as the City approaches the time that it has to update its housing development and find housing sites in the City that do not conflict with the open space and conservation roles in the Comprehensive General Plan. 10. SCHEDULE OF FUTURE EVENTS: As listed in the agenda. ADJOURNMENT: With no further business before the Planning Commission, Chair/Barlas adjourned the regular meeting at 7:05 p.m. to June 11, 2019, at 6:30 p.m. The foregoing minutes are hereby approved this 11th day of June, 2019.

Proposed Class Schedule Time Monday-Friday Saturday & Sunday 10:00 am – 11:30 am No Class Two Classes 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm No Class Two Classes 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm Two Classes Two Classes The applicant proposes to occupy a 1,000 square-foot vacant space. The proposed floor plan consists of a reception area, two classrooms, a meeting room, an office and a storage room. Other uses occupying the buildings comprising the Diamond Creek 7.1 Packet Pg. 14 Conditional Use Permit No. PL2018-242 Page 5 of 9 Village commercial center include a supermarket, banks, restaurants and other retail and service uses. ANALYSIS: Review Authority (DBMC Section 22.58) A CUP is required for uses whose effect on the surrounding area cannot be determined before being analyzed for suitability at a particular location. When reviewing a CUP, consideration is given to the location, design, configuration, operational characteristics and potential impacts to determine whether or not the proposed use will pose a detriment to the public health, safety and welfare. If it can be found that the proposed use is likely to be compatible with its surroundings, the Commission may approve the proposed use subject to conditions stipulating the manner in which the use must be conducted. If the Commission finds that the proposed use is likely to be detrimental to the general peace, health and general welfare, then it must deny the request. When a CUP is approved, it runs with the land and all conditions placed on the CUP are binding on all successors in interest. In other words, if the owner of the proposed tutoring center were to close the business, a new tenant could locate in the space and operate the same type of business. The new tenant would be required to comply with the same conditions as the previous tenant and would not b e permitted to expand the school without full review and approval by the Planning Commission. Required Parking The required number of parking spaces for non-degree schools is one space per 200 square feet of gross floor area plus one space per employee, and shopping centers over 50,000 square feet in size are required to provide one parking space for every Proposed Floor Plan 7.1 Packet Pg. 15 Conditional Use Permit No. PL2018-242 Page 6 of 9 300 square feet of gross floor area for commercial uses that are not subject to approval of a CUP. The parking requirement for businesses approved under a CUP (e.g., schools, tutoring, health/fitness studios, etc.) are calculated separately. Diamond Creek Village provides 438 off-street parking spaces. The parking required for the current palette of uses minus the proposed learning center is 410 spaces. The proposed learning center requires 9 spaces based on Development Code requirements. The total off-street parking requirement for the center would thus be 419 spaces, leaving a surplus of 19 spaces. Since there is a surplus of parking spaces, staf f does not foresee any parking issues resulting from the proposed use. Parking Demand When reviewing parking impacts on shopping centers, the various uses and peak business hours for those uses are taken into consideration. The existing shopping center has uses ranging from a bank, supermarket, restaurants, and other retail and service uses. The varying uses result in a range of peak business hours and parking demands. The applicant submitted a shared parking study signed by a licensed traffic engineer (Attachment 2). The shared parking study provides parking demand calculations and analysis, based on a worst-case scenario and parking surveys conducted during hours of operation on typical weekdays and weekends.

Due to the variety of different uses at the commercial centers, with various hours of operation and peak parking demand times, this scenario is highly unlikely. The traffic engineer conducted a parking survey at the site to observe actual parking counts during the proposed hours of operation. Parked vehicles were counted every 30 minutes on a typical weekday and on a weekend from 10:00 am to 5:30 pm, which are the hours of operation for the proposed learning center. The peak parking demand occurs on Saturdays at 1:00 pm with 396 parking spaces being utilized. The proposed learning center will have classes Monday through Friday from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm, and Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 am to 11:30 am, 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm , and 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm. Therefore, there are no classes proposed during the peak parking demand of the shopping center and the proposed children’s learning center will not require additional parking during the peak parking demand. Based on these observations, there is likely a sufficient amount of parking for current and future uses to accommodate peak-period demands. Additionally, there are mitigating measures that would further lessen the impact on parking demand for the learning center, as follows: • There are no classes proposed during peak parking demand of 1:00 pm on Saturdays. 7.1 Packet Pg. 17 Conditional Use Permit No. PL2018-242 Page 8 of 9 • People Impact is breaking up the start times of each class so that the overlap of students being driven to classes and leaving from classes at the same time is avoided. • Long-term parking is not required for the parents to drop-off or pick-up the students. Parents drop-off and pick-up the students approximately 10 minutes before and after each class. Compatibility with Neighborhood Diamond Creek Village shopping center has a diversity of uses, including a supermarket, bank, restaurants, and other retail and service uses. In addition, the playground will be located indoors with restricted access. Given the proposed hours of operation, the availability of parking, and types of adjoining uses, it is reasonable to conclude that the learning center will be compatible with the other uses in the center. Additional Review The Building and Safety Division reviewed this project and included their comments in the attached resolution as conditions of approval. NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING: On May 29, 2019, public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within a 700-foot radius of the project site. On May 31, 2019, the notice was published in the Inland Valley Daily Tribune and San Gabriel Valley Tribune newspapers; the project site was posted with a notice display board; and a copy of the public notice was posted at the City’s three designated community posting sites. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: This project has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Based on that assessment, the City has determined the project to be Categorically Exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to the provisions of Article 19 Section 15301(a) (Interior alterations involving partitions and electrical conveyances) of the CEQA Guidelines. No further environmental review is required. PREPARED BY: 7.1 Packet Pg. 18 Conditional Use Permit No. PL2018-242 Page 9 of 9 REVIEWED BY: Attachments: A.

On June 11, 2019, 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: 7.1.a Packet Pg. 20 2 PC Resolution No. 2019-XX 1. The 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(a) (Interior alterations involving partitions and electrical conveyances) 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 and approves as follows: Conditional Use Permit Review Findings (DBMC Section 22.58) 1. 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, non-degree schools are permitted in the C-2 zoning district with approval of a conditional use permit. 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 commercial center and surrounding neighborhood. 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 children’s learning center meets Strategy 1.3.3 because the proposed children’s learning center provides services to Diamond Bar residents. The Project 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 an existing commercial center that has a diversity of uses, including a supermarket, bank, restaurants, and other retail and service uses. The Proposed Use is compatible with the other uses within the commercial center. 7.1.a Packet Pg. 21 3 PC Resolution No. 2019-XX Through compliance with the conditions of approval stipulating the manner in which the use must be conducted, the Proposed Use will be compatible with the other uses within the commercial center. 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 commercial center that currently has a diversity of uses, including a bank, supermarket, restaurants, and other retail and service uses. There are 438 parking spaces at the existing shopping center. The number of parking spaces required for the current palette of uses minus the children’s learning center is 410 parking spaces. The proposed children’s learning center requires 9 spaces based on Development Code requirements, for a total parking requirement of 419 off-street parking spaces. A parking study was submitted by a traffic engineer that indicates the overall peak parking demand occurs on Saturdays at 1:00 pm with 396 spaces being utilized, which is less than the 438 parking spaces provided on site. There are no classes proposed during the peak parking demand of the shopping center. Additionally, the applicant is breaking up the start times of each class so that the overlap of students being driven to classes and leaving from classes at the same time is avoided. Based on these observations, there is likely a sufficient amount of parking for current and future uses to accommodate peak-period demands. Given the proposed hours of operation, the overall parking demands, and the types of adjoining uses, it is reasonable to conclude that the child daycare center will be compatible with the other uses in the commercial center. The Proposed Use is physically suitable with the subject site because it will be located in an existing building. In addition, the proposed use is intended to operate within an existing commercial center and will be using existing access and parking in the center. 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 wh ich the property is located. The Proposed Use is located within a commercial center. Children will be supervised at all times. Children will not be able to leave until parents pick them up. Prior to the issuance of any city permits, the Project is required to comply with all conditions of approval within the attached resolution, and the Building and Safety Division. 7.1.a Packet Pg. 22 4 PC Resolution No. 2019-XX 6. The proposed Project has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The proposed use is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as set forth under Article 19 Section 15301(a) (Interior alterations involving partitions and electrical conveyances) of the CEQA Guidelines. D. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL Based upon the findings and conclusion set forth above, the Planning Commission hereby approves Conditional Use Permit No. PL2017-35 subject to the following conditions: 1. The establishment is approved as a children’s learning center as described in the application on file with the Planning Division, the Planning Commission staff report for Conditional Use Permit No. PL2018-242 dated June 11, 2019, and the Planning Commission minutes pertaining thereto, hereafter referred to as the “Use”.

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. 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.

This letter presents our methodology, finding, and recommendation in regards to the sufficiency of parking. PROJECT INFORMATION "PI Academy America" is a proposed children learning center located at 21044 Golden Springs Drive, #D-11, in the City of Diamond Bar. The proposed location of 1,000 square feet will facilitate two classrooms and administrative spaces. Each training sessions are 90 minutes long and the breaks between classes are at least 30 minutes. The class schedule is shown in Table 1: Table 1. Class Schedule Days of Week Class Schedule Weekday 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM Weekend 10:00 AM to 11:30 PM 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM There will be up to four (4) staffs and eight (8) children at the premise at any time, with an average count of four children per classroom. During non-class hours, the facility will be open daily for administrative use from 9:30 am to 7:00 pm. 7.1.b Packet Pg. 30 Shared Parking Study May 23, 2019 (Rev.)

Brea Canyon Road and Golden Spring Drive. The aerial photo is shown in Exhibit 1. Existing tenants at the shopping center include a supermarket, pharmacy, restaurants, banks, salons, dentists, and other general retail stores. A complete list of existing tenants and vacancies of the shopping center can be found in Exhibit 2. CODE REQUIREMENT According to Municipal Code (Section 22.30.040) of the City of Diamond Bar, the parking standard for studios and non-degree schools are one space for each 200 square feet of gross floor area and one space for each employee. The subject children learning center of 1,000 square feet with up to four (4) employees requires 9 parking spaces. Table 2. Parking Requirement Project Municipal Code Parking Requirement 1,000 SF and 4 employees 1 space for each 200 SF and 1 space for each employee 9 spaces There are only three sessions per day during the week and one session per day in the weekend. The training schedule indicates that there is a 30-minutes gap between sessions. Parents picking up and dropping off children at the start and end time of each session do not overlap. The Code requirement of nine (9) spaces appear reasonable and adequate for the class size and schedule. For administrative hours, the parking demand of the project is four (4) spaces based on office use at one space per 250 square foot of gross floor area. 7.1.b Packet Pg. 31 Shared Parking Study May 23, 2019 (Rev.)

Table 3. City's Development Code Parking Requirement WORST-CASE SCENARIO The worst-case scenario, as shown in Table 4, representing an unlikely situation when every single business in the shopping centers reaches its peak parking demand simultaneously. However, the diversity of tenants makes such occurrence nearly impossible. In reality, existing tenants have different hours of operation and peak times due to various characteristics. Use Sq. Ft.
