ADJOURNMENT: 2 CITY OF DIAMOND BAR MINUTES OF SPECIAL STUDY SESSION CITY PLANNING COMMISSION AUGUST 13, 1990 The Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar convened in a special study session at 5:15 p.m, in the Walnut Valley School District Board Meeting Room, 880 South Lemon Street, Walnut, California. f PRESENT: 4 COMMISSIONERS: Grothe, MacBride, Vice Chairman Harmony and Chairman Schey ABSENT: 1 COMMISSIONERS: Commissioner Lin ALSO PRESENT: Bill Curley, City Attorney Ron Kranzer, City Engineer Jack Istik, Assistant City Engineer Irwin Kaplan, Interim Planning Director Robert Searcy, Assistant Planning Director Dawn Anderson, Planning Technician Larry Weissman, Associate Planner DISCUSSION: A public hearing was held on July 23, 1990 to discuss Subdivision 90-0052 (PM 22178) and Subdivision 90-0041 (PM 22102) located in the Gateway Corporate Center. At this time it was determined that additional information was needed to explain the project in detail and give background information on the project. If the Commission acts upon the parcel maps, staff recommends that a supplemental EIR be required. This study session is to give the applicants the opportunity to explain the project thoroughly and to discuss the process that was taken prior to the City being incorporated. Mr. Reiling gave a brief description of the center. On Lot 4 there is a proposed restaurant currently under Planning review. Lot 23 has been sold to Kaiser Permanente to build a two phase medical office complex. Most of this complex will be patient oriented. There will be a major medical facility on the corner of Archibald and the 60 freeway to serve patients with emergency and over -night care. The facility to be located in Diamond Bar will be a day care patient center only. Lot 1 is the location of the 347,000 square foot AQMD building. This building will have two conference rooms. One will accommodate 350 people with all of the latest audio visual equipment and the other will accommodate about 50 people. The smaller room has been offered to the City to be used for City Council meetings, etc. The Days Inn Hotel is on Lot 3 and the proposed restaurant is on Lot 4. There is a building owned by the SEMA Corporation, Specialty Equipment Manufacturer Association, which is the trade association for the after market automobile industry. This building is 90 percent occupied. Another building is 100 percent occupied by Kelly Clark. There is a 2 -story 50,000 square foot office building which is occupied by various tenants. The building next to it is owned by Trammel Crow Company and is also leased to various tenants which occupy about 82 percent of the building. There are 7 buildings which were developed by the Kole Company and 3 of those buildings are currently in escrow. Lot 19 is occupied by the City Hall building which is 98 percent leased. The building next door is under construction. Lot 2 is the subject parcel. Mr. Reiling stated that they have many 1, 2, and 3 acre parcels. There have been several people expressing an interest in constructing a building in this center but needed smaller parcels. Zelman Development has been discussing the idea of subdividing Parcel 2. This will allow a wider spectrum of uses. The character of the project has changed from its original proposal although the zoning, Unilateral Contract and Environmental standards have not changed'. It is developing more towards an office park rather than an industrial park. The Unilateral Contract allows the lower lots to be 5 stories, the upper lots to be 3 stories and everything else to be 2 stories. On some of the lots 7 and 9 stories can be obtained with a Conditional Use Permit. There are a lot of businesses that want to get away from the high- rise buildings and want small buildings for their businesses. 2 The traffic study pointed out the traffic issues that needed to be addressed. Some of these were mitigated when they made improvements on Golden Springs. They installed a higher standard signal, wider roads, deeper turn pockets,. etc. Last year they completed some additional improvements that the County required. These.were to create free right turns, deeper pockets, moving signalization around, and contributing x;325,000 to the County for mitigating the intersections at Golden Springs and Grand, at Diamond Bar and Grand and at Golden Springs and Brea Canyon Drive. Most of the traffic, according to the traffic report, is not site generated traffic. Most of the traffic on Golden Springs is traffic that is trying to avoid the congestion of the freeway. They have started the TMO (Traffic Management Organization). When the rules of AQMD are in place, it will be mandatory that small companies belong to this organization. Employees will be charged if they don't ride share and will be paid if they do. Paul Wilkinson, Traffic and Transportation Engineer, stated that he did not conduct the original traffic study which reflected an industrial park. Starting with the traffic study he conducted for the Days Inn, it became obvious that while the development approvals were not increasing, it seemed that the market courses were driving the project to come closer to the maximums that were indicated in the original report. He conducted a study dated December 1989 which identified existing traffic conditions, the roadway network, traffic volumes, peak hours, change in traffic conditions or Level of Service related to this project. They looked at 7 intersections starting at Brea Canyon and ending at Diamond Bar Boulevard, including the two project entries. He analyzed both the peak a.m. and p.m. hours. The a.m. peak hour was typically better than the p.m. peak hour. Through site observation, he determined that there is a band of cars traveling Golden Springs in order to avoid freeway traffic. .This constitutes 25 percent of the traffic. He estimated what might happen to the roadways in the complete abs1ence of this development. He estimated about 3 percent ahead for the next 7 years, this added 25 percent volume. 3 He identified with the County some improvements that they thought were feasible at the five intersections. They also took into account the 450 cars an hour that travel the street and adding the proposed freeway improvements which consists of adding another lane. It is his expectation that some of the traffic using the side streets will be brought back to the freeway system. what he found when he took into consideration the existing volumes, the improvements to the freeway, completion of the project at about a 50 percent ratio predominately office complex, was that the p.m. peak hour was typically worse but still acceptable. The small lots are proposed to reduce the traffic. with the TMO, there is an estimated 16 percent reduction in project trips. The traffic is going to be in existence whether the development is there or not. If the development takes place within the City then the City is able to enjoy the benefits of the development as well as some of the traffic volumes that go along with it. If the development takes place outside of the City, the City has the privilege of providing the street improvements for everyone else, and the City will still have the traffic but without the benefits of the development. He identified the parcels and their acreage, used a 50 percent coverage for most of the parcels using an office type of configuration. For the entire project including the current uses and the uses which will be added there was about 18,000 trip ends a day. This figure was achieved by assuming that the floor area for the entire site was about 1.4 million square feet and assuming mix uses of retail and office. The medical facility will not have the same peak hour as will general office uses. They tried to establish a trip budget for the project. He identified existing conditions and identified future conditions without the project and with the project to obtain acceptable Levels of Service. As a result of this study, there were some street improvements that were necessary. These improvements were funded for. The trip budge is being monitored to insure that the trips allowed for the site are not used up before the entire project is completed. Commissioner MacBride was concerned trips that have already been used. allotted.trip are not used up and that opportunity to develop their land. 4 with keeping a tally of the This will ensure that the each property owner has the Mr. Wilkinson stated that he estimated the future traffic volumes from identifing the improvements which substantiated the trip budget. He did this in two ways. First, he counted traffic at the two intersections. Second, in reviewing the historical traffic volume data along Golden Springs, Grand and Diamond Bar Boulevard, he identified and estimated an annual percentage growth rate. He determined that the development happening was adding traffic to the streets and this number was about 3 percent. .The County supplied. him with their tabulation, at that time, of development in this immediate area that was on record. The Downey Savings site and the Chino Hills development on Grand Avenue was part of this study. They took the existing development plus 3 percent regardless of where it came from plus the developments that were identified in the area to include the Downey building and a large part of Chino Hills. To this the project was added with the Transportation Management Organi-zation in place. Secretary Kaplan asked Mr. Wilkinson to explain the traffic mitigation measures. - Mr. Wilkinson stated that at Golden Springs and Brea Canyon they added an additional northbound free right turn lane, a dual southbound left turn lane, and a third south lane within the entrance area of the intersection. At Golden Springs and Gateway Center they added a right turn lane. They lengthened one of the pockets so that the through lanes will not be blocked. At Golden Springs and Grand Avenue the County wanted to provide left turn lanes at every approach and through lanes in each direction on Grand Avenue and separate right turn lanes. At Diamond Bar and Golden Springs there is a dual left turn lane on Golden Springs and a west bound right turn lane on Diamond Bar Boulevard. Secretary Kaplan asked as to the status of these improvements. The County has collected the money from the applicants and were supposed to begin the improvements once the money had been collected. The money has been transferred to the City of Diamond Bar. Chairman Schey stated that he thought that there was a traffic study update done for this parcel map and asked if this addressed the status of the trip budget. The applicants stated that there was not, but that they could create one. Secretary Kaplan stated that at a meeting last week one of the applicant's representatives was asked to look into pedestrian travel. The applicants indicated that there are sidewalks provided throughout the park. 5 Commissioner Grothe asked as to the Unilateral Contract and why they do not review some of the projects. Mr. Reiling stated that they inherited the contract which basically sets forth design guidelines in a fairly minimal way and a set of uses that were pre -approved. After they purchased the property in 1985 they took the design guidelines and expanded them into a set of CC&R's that overlaid the design guidelines and the CC&R's that Trans America originally had placed over the property. They have developed the property in accordance with the CC&R's and the design guidelines. When the City incorporated they approved the Gateway Center Guidelines as the controlling document for the development of the property. Vice Chairman Harmony stated that the signage for. the site is governed in the CC&R's and to change these it takes a 50 percent vote of the members of the Property Owners Association. He asked how the membership was broken up with the Association. The applicant indicated that it was by the percentage that one owns. Secretary Kaplan stated that every development in this center will now come before the Planning Commission. Mr. Reiling stated that it was his understanding that the City Council stated that as long as the use and the design meets the design guideline, unless there was a specific ordinance against it, the development would not necessarily come before the Commission for review. The Guidelines indicate the types of uses that are permitted, the type of uses that would be permitted with a Conditional Use Permit and the type of uses that are not allowed at all. Secretary Kaplan stated that if the Commission feels that the rules that an applicant are operating under were inappropriated, the Commission would notify the City Council that they felt that the Resolution passed in October 1989 was in need of additional review. If the CC&R's were to be changed in a way that would be less restrictive then they .were when the Resolution was passed in October 1989, then the Commission would have the opportunity to review the project. 11 ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business to come before the Commission, Motion was made by Commissioner MacBride and seconded by Commissioner Grothe and carried unanimously to adjourn the meeting at 7:10 p.m. to the regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning Commission on August 13, 1990 to be held at the Walnut Valley Unified School District Board Room, 880 N. Lemon Avenue, Walnut, California at 7:00 p.m. ATTEST: Irwin Kaplan Secretary, Planning Commission 7 David Schey Chairman CITY OF DIAMOND BAR MINUTES OF CITY PLANNING COMMISSION AUGUST 13 1990 The Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar convened in a regular session at 7:20 p.m. in the Walnut Valley School District Board Meeting Room, 880 South Lemon Street, Walnut, California. PRESENT: 4 COMMISSIONERS: Grothe, MacBride, Vice Chairman Harmony and Chairman Schey ABSENT: 1 COMMISSIONERS: Chairman Schey ALSO PRESENT: Bill Curley, City Attorney Ron Kranzer, City Engineer Jack Istik, Assistant City Engineer Irwin Kaplan, Interim Planning Director Robert Searcy, Assistant Planning Director Dawn Anderson, Planning Technician Larry Weissman, Associate Planner MINUTES: Chairman Schey asked the Commission to consider the Minutes of July 23, 1990. Motion was made by Commissioner MacBride and seconded by Commissioner Grothe to approve the minutes. MOTION CARRIED unanimously. MATTERS FROM THE PUBLIC: There were none. CONSENT CALENDAR: 1. City Council Minutes - meeting of July 10 and July 17. 2. Resolution PC# 90- for Conditional Use Permit 89-551, 54 unit apartment complex. 3. Resolution PC# 90-_ for Variance application 90-0054, for a three story house exceeding the 35 foot height limitation. Commissioner Grothe stated that he had a question pertaining to Item No. 2. This item was pulled from the consent calendar for discussion. PLANNING,COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 13, 1990 Vice Chairman Harmony asked the City Attorney how he should participate on the consent calendar due to his absence at the last. meeting. Mr. Curlev stated that it would not be appropriate for Vice Chairman Harmony to participate in this section of the meeting. Vice Chairman Harmony stated that he would then like Item No. 3 to be pulled from the consent calendar. Chairman Schey asked the Commission to consider the consent calendar with the omission of Item Nos. 2 and 3. Motion was made by Vice Chairman Harmony and seconded. MOTION CARRIED unanimously. Discussion was opened for Item No. 2 on the Consent Calendar. Commissioner Grothe stated that under Planning Division Conditions Page 2, Item 4 states that the entrance of the site will be designed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. The applicant shall be responsible for his pro rata share of the signalization and other conditions mitigating traffic impacts as may be required as a result of the proposed development. He was of the understanding that the approval stated that the traffic signal had to be installed prior to any development of the parcel of land that would be affected by this signal. Secretary Kaplan stated that the pro rata share was referring to the persons responsibility. If 10 percent of the total cost of the item was their pro rata share that would be their responsibility. They could pay 100 percent of the cost up front and then at such time as other parties begin development they would be reimbursed. He felt that it may be inappropriate to mandate that they pay the entire cost and be reimbursed up to their pro rata share. Commissioner Grothe stated that he felt that it would not be safe to turn into the site without a signal at that location and that is was mandatory that the signal be installed. If the applicant only paid 10 percent it may be a long time before the City had the funds to finish the job. Mr. Curley stated that it was within the Commission's jurisdiction to dictate in the resolution that the applicant must pre -pay the entire cost of the signal with eventual reimbursement. 2 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 13, 1990 Motion was made by Commissioner Grothe and seconded by Chairman Schey to amend the Resolution for Conditional Use Permit 89-551 to read that the applicant is responsible for the installation of the signalization and other conditions which mitigate traffic impacts as may be required as the result of the proposed development. At the time the adjacent property is developed, the property owners will be subject to contribution towards the signal and there will be a determination of pro rata shares at this point. MOTION CARRIED unanimously. Discussion was opened for Item No. 3 on the Consent Calendar. This item was removed from the consent calendar in order to conduct an independent vote on the Resolution for 90-0054. Motion was made by Commissioner Grothe and seconded by Chairman Schey to approve the Resolution for Variance 90-0054. Ayes: Commissioner Grothe, Commissioner MacBride and Chairman Harmony Nayes: 0 Abstentions: Vice Chairman Harmony PUBLIC HEARING: 1. Draft Sign Ordinance: Secretary Kaplan stated that staff set aside the previous draft and developed a new draft ordinance for the Commission to review. Mr. Weissman summarized the memo sent to the Commission explaining the Sign Ord nance. The Ordinance consists of the grouping of four sign types as follows: A. Basic Sign Program. The Basic Sign Program offers a limited choice of signs which may be permitted within certain specified limits. As long as the signs remain with the specified limits they can be approved at a staff level. B. Planned Sign Program. The Planned Sign Program allows two types of variations from the Basic Sign Program. 1. The Planned Sign Program offers additional types of signs. The sum total which will still have to remain within the limits of the Basic Sign Program square footage limits. 3 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 13, 1990 2. The Planned Sign Program offers additional signage to compensate for some special circumstances. For example, commercial centers may require higher freestanding monument signs along the property line in order to compensate for buildings with larger setbacks. All signage under the Planned Sign Program will require Planning Commission review. Within an approved Planned Sign Program, the Planning Director will be able to make modifications as long as they are consistent with the basic intent of the original sign program. C. Exempt Signs. These are signs are exempt from any permit requirements such as traffic control, traffic direction, etc. D. Prohibited Signs. These are signs which have been created which include off-site, billboard, pole, pylon, rotating signs; etc. Also included is a suggested procedure for variance requests and regulations on canopy signs and flags. In addition to the memo, the Commission received a listing of the signs and the permitted square footages for the Basic Sign Program and the Planned Program. Mr. Weissman reviewed this with the Commission. I. THE BASIC SIGN PROGRAM. Permit is required for all signs in both programs except those signs which are exempt. A. Wall signs. These signs are allowed with. a limitation of l square foot per 1 lineal foot of building frontage up to a maximum of 100 square feet per use.

All signs approved within the Basic Sign Program, except for temporary signs, may not exceed 100 square feet. II. PLANNED SIGN PROGRAM. The signs permitted in this program are only permitted after a Planned Sign Program has been approved by the Planning Commission. A. Business Identification Signs. This includes six (6) categories. 1. Freestanding Monument. These signs are allowed a maximum of 24 square feet, six feet in width, 4 feet height, one per frontage in excess of 99 feet, except for a building of 4 or more stories may have a .monument sign on any frontage regardless of the length.

Rear Building Signs. These signs are allowed when in excess of aggregate site limits of 100 square feet are allowed only where necessary to maintain consistency with other signs on the building or in the vicinity. 5. Awning and Canopy Lettering. These signs are allowed a maximum of 7 inch letters limited to the business name and type only. For these signs, the Planned Sign Program will not be able to exceed 100 square feet. A special circumstance under which 100 square feet of signage can be exceeded would be for a commercial center where a freestanding monument sign will be allowed for a maximum of 72 square feet, 12 feet in length and 6 feet in height, one sign per entrance with consideration given to smaller freestanding monument signs at other entrances. The sign content will be limited to the center's name, logo, two major tenants and the address. A commercial sign may be in excess of the overall sign limits of 100 square feet per site. In addition to those business identification signs, that are allowed under a Planned Sign Program. The draft ordinance also proposes the following non- commercial signs allowed as part of the Planned Sign Program: A. Service Sign and Bulletin Board. Allowed for 24 square feet maximum, 6 feet in length and 4 feet in height for freestanding signs. B. Community Service Club Sign. Allowed for 6.feet in width and 4 feet in height. C. Freestanding Non -Commercial Sign. Allowed for 2 feet in height, to be placed on residential property. D. Flags. Allowed for 6 - 20 square feet on a pole which may be allowed to extend up to 35 feet in height. 7 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 13, 1990 The ordinance includes freestanding non-commercial signs in the Planned Sign Program. This allows several types of non-commercial signage to be erected under a Basic Sign Program with Director Approval which includes wall signs. Commercial Freestanding signs will require Planned Sign Program approval. One of the purposes of the Planned Sign Program would be that no permit be issued for a sign in a multi -use building or commercial center in which more than one sign is proposed unless a Planned Sign Program has been approved for the building or center. Alterations or addition to a Planned Sign Program, once it has been approved by the Planning Commission, can be done at the Director's level if the sign types, square footages, locations, heights and materials aren't changed. If it is just a change of content, this is allowed under the Director's review. III. EXEMPT SIGNS. No permit will be required for this category. These signs may be placed on a piece of property without a permit and would not be added to sign square footage when the City determines whether the applicant has met their square footage limit. These signs include official government traffic or directional signs, official City entrance monument signs which are located at the City limits, and monument entrance signs on City park grounds or at City facilities. Staff is proposing that the ordinance contain language which will require architectural review to be completed by the Planning Commission prior to the installation of any monument signs. On -premise real estate signs are allowed up to 6 square feet, 8 feet in height if freestanding. measured from the highest point of grade. One window sign will be allowed per lease space in multiple use buildings. One ground -sign is permitted per lot or building site and has to be removed upon sale, lease or rent of the property. Included in this will be the for sale signs and open house signs on residential properties. Also permitted are building identification signs of 4 square feet and hours of operation signs of 1 square foot, incidental signs which might be used to state which credit cards are accepted, etc. of 1 square foot, security protection signs are allowed up to one square foot without permits. Flags are not to exceed 2 W PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 13, 1990 in number, each representing a governmental body each street level business or residence. No flag 12 square feet. Flag poles may not exceed 6 feet level. or unit for may exceed from grade Chairman Schey stated that under Sign Programs, flags are allowed from 6 square feet to 20 square feet and under Exempt signs flags are permitted not to exceed 12 square feet. He asked if the Sign Program should be 12 square feet to 20 square feet. Mr. Weissman stated that they could adjust this under the Sign Program which allows a higher flag pole. IV. PROHIBITED SIGNS: The following signs are prohibited: Off -premise outdoor advertising billboard signs, flashing, moving and pulsating signs, signs which in anyway conflict with traffic control devices or impede the flow of foot or vehicular traffic, the use of animals or human beings as attention attracting devices, loud speakers, signs with mechanical movements, roof signs projecting signs, pole signs unless approved by a Planned Sign Program, changeable copy signs, banners, flags not of a governmental agencies, kites, pennants, signs which constitute a nuisance or hazard because of their intensity of light, sign which no longer identify an existing business, vehicular or trailer signs, sign projecting into the public right of way, price signs except those that the Commission deems to approve, pylon signs and signs on marquee or awning other than 7 inches of lettering which will state the business name and address. , Chairman Schey stated that gasoline price signs are mandated by the State. Mr. Weissman stated that they are working on creating a standard for gasoline price signs. Commissioner Grothe asked how this proposed sign ordinance conforms with those ordinances of the surrounding cities. Secretary Kaplan stated that staff has not reviewed the ordinances of surrounding cities. Commissioner Grothe stated that many of the buildings in town do not meet the proposed ordinance. He felt that the City shouldn't draft an ordinance that makes the entire city in violation of this ordinance. 0 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 13, 1990 The Public Hearing was opened. Ben Reiling, 7_elman Development, stated that 100 square feet of signage as the maximum is not enough for a large building with a long street frontage. From a far distance, a sign of this size would be hard to read. Carey Treff, Representing the Owner of Country Hills Shopping Center, asked if only one (1) leasing sign would be permitted on a parcel regardless of the size of the parcel. Mr. Weissman stated that the ordinance does make provision for signage going into windows on the ground level. This is under the Exempt Signs section of the ordinance. This would permit one (1) exempt on premise real estate sign for each lease space, one in every window on the ground level. Mr. Treff asked the Commission to consider allowing more signage for a site of their size. He was also concerned with the d foot height limit on these signs. The ordinance states that monument signs are permitted to display 2 major tenants only. Mr. Treff asked that they consider allowing more or if he could file a variance to allow a third major tenant on the monument sign. He asked for clarification on how many sides of the building would wall signs be permitted. Mr. Weissman stated that the ordinance would permit signs on all sides of the building. The only time that the applicant would have to submit for a Planned Sign Program for signs on the rear of the building would be in a case where there was a need to keep the sign larger to allow fqr consistency with the lettering in the surrounding area. Mr. Weissman also stated that in a commercial center one center sign is permitted per entrance with special consideration given to smaller centers. Mr. Kaplan stated ,that he received a call from a citizen who was not present. He was concerned with banners and felt that consideration should be given to restaurants on a short term basis. Chairman Schey stated for the record that the Commission has received a letter from Brian and Cindy Quan regarding foreign language signs for local businesses. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 13, 1990 Vice Chairman Harmony_ asked if staff has forwarded a copy of the draft ordinance to the Chamber of Commerce and other interested organizations. Mr. Kaplan stated that it has not. Vice Chairman Harmony asked that the ordinance be forwarded to these organization's. Motion was made by Chairman Schey and seconded by Vice Chairman Harmony to continue the draft sign ordinance to the first meeting in September to allow staff time to distribute this ordinance to interested organizations for their input and to research the questions raised as to the surrounding cities sign ordinances. MOTION CARRIED unanimously. 2. Conditional Use Permit 90-0087, Chevron Company U.S.A. proposal to install underground piping, equipment pad, and equipment to remediate contaminated soil on site. Located at 2707 Diamond Bar Boulevard. Mr. Weissman stated that staff is recommending that the Commission consider all the data presented, the elements of the Environmental Assessment, Conditional Use Permit, negative declaration and grant the Conditional Use Permit and Variance. The project site is zoned C1 (Restricted Business). The site is graded and currently occupied by a two story building which has only been partially constructed. Construction ceased due to the need for the soil remediation project. To the north of the property the zoning is R1-7500 (Single Family Residential -7500 square foot minimum lot size); to the east is C1 (Restricted Business), retail shopping has occurred; to the south is C2 -DP (Neighborhood Commercial -Development Plan), developed for retail commercial; and to the west is Cl, (Restricted Business) developed for retail use. The site contained a gas station form 1967 to 1976. Commercial offices were constructed in 1976 and the gas station was demolished in the same year. Commercial offices which were constructed in place of the gas station were demolished in 1988. The property is currently being developed for commercial office. In 1989 the owner of the Chevron Station determined that certain soils on site had been contaminated by gasoline vapors which had escaped from an underground storage tank and gasoline dispensers which had already been removed from the site. They were removed at the time of demolition of the gas station. 11 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 13, 1990 Chevron has since applied for a Conditional Use Permit to install soil remediation equipment in order to remove those contaminated vapors. The equipment consists of underground piping and a'carbon collection unit. The unit will be placed on a 15 foot by 20 foot concrete slab. The slab will be located on the north 'end of the site facing a parking lot which is part of the commercial development surrounding the site. The carbon collection unit is approximately 5 feet by 5 feet, 5 feet high with a 10 foot smoke stack. The remediation process operates by collecting the hydro carbon vapors from the contaminated soil through the pipes into the carbon collection unit. The vapors are heated within this unit to about 450 degrees. The contaminates are collected inside the carbon and then the carbon is removed to a location suitable to receive this type of material. The contaminated areas lie under the future parking lot of the building. The parking lot will front onto Diamond Bar Boulevard. One area of contamination lies on the western edge of the site fronting the parking lot of the surrounding commercial development. This area is approximately 20 feet wide and lies approximately 17 feet below the ground surface. The second area of contamination lies on the. south of site fronting Diamond Bar Boulevard. This area has a 35 foot radius and lies within the upper 6.5 feet of soil. The level of contamination far exceeds the State acceptable levels for Hydro Carbons. A variance is required to allow the proposed carbon collection unit on the rear yard at the parking lot. Staff's concerns in reviewing this site were environmental and safety of the unit itself with the remediation process. Their environmental concerns have to do with making sure that all the contamination is identified and removed from the soil and that the project, itself, will not result in any further contamination of the soil and the ground water, which does not appear at this time to be contaminated. They were concerned with the fire safety of the carbon collection unit. This will be monitored by the Los Angeles County Fire Department who will also be issuing the permit for the operation. Permits will be obtained from the South Coast Air Quality Management and the Regional Water Quality Control Board, which is the lead agency on this project for environmental purposes. 12 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 13, 1990 Staff feels that the project will remain compatible with the surrounding commercial and residential uses provided that, all the necessary permits are complied with throughout the operation of the project and provided that the project also applies to the conditions of approval that staff recommends for the project. The proposed carbon collection unit will be enclosed by a solid fence. and noise mitigation equipment as deemed necessary subject to approval by the Director prior to plan -check approval. Staff also feels that all the necessary findings can be made for the project and therefore, are recommending approval. Condition No. 1 states that this approval is granted for the location of the remediation pipes, equipment and carbon collection device only. The Lead Agency and Environmental Review will be done by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. They will monitor the process. The project will not cease until all contaminants have been removed. The Public Hearing was opened. Tracey Muranik, Chevron USA, Environmental Engineer overseeing the project, stated that the first contamination area runs from about 8 feet to 16 feet in depth and the second area runs from about 2 feet to 7 feet in depth. They have proposed to dig trenches to place the extraction line for the remediation process. The contamination was created when the underground tanks leaked gasoline into the soil and the gasoline adhered to the soil. Some of this contamination is in a vapor phase and some of it is in a liquid phase. Chevron is proposing to take air into the soil, volatilize the hydro carbons and take them up through the piping and treat them in the compound. They are required by Air Qualitv Management District to monitor and take samples at the effluent, intermediate phase between the canisters and the affluent to see how effective the system is running and to insure that they are omitting only clean air. They will obtain a permit through the Los Angeles County Fire Department after approval on the Conditional Use Permit. This operation is the preferred method for cleaning .up this type of contamination. This process is estimated to take approximately anywhere from 2 to 5 years although they have taken approximately 1 1/2 years for clean up on similar sites. Once the project is deemed complete, the incineration equipment will be removed. All the equipment will be placed upon a 15 foot by 20 foot cement pad. 13 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 13, 1990 Vice Chairman Harmony stated that in other situations he has noticed that they extract the soil from the site. He asked the applicant what other options were available. The applicant stated that they feel that this method is the safest method. Vapors are at a minimum when this method is used. Excavation of the soil will volatilize the hydro carbons into the air. Vice Chairman Harmony asked what the noise mitigation equipment will look like and what will the noise level be after it is mitigated. The applicant stated that the carbon units are not an incineration unit as stated in the staff report. The carbon canisters will be well below the fence. The noise generated from this equipment will be about 70 decibels which is the normal residential noise level. The applicant indicated that they had not yet done studies to determine whether the water table has been affected by this contamination. They will be conducting these studies the following week. If the Regional Water Board mandates the applicants will install a pumping system to clean the water. In the trenches, they will provide water clean-up pipes. Also present was Jane Gruin, McDonald, Harding Lawson Consultant; Don Krigly, Harding Wright, West State Carbon. Those in favor of the project. There were none Chevron USA, Supervisor; Jim Associates, Environmental Lawson & Associates, and Terry Those in opposition of the project. There were none. The Public Hearing was closed. Chairman Schey asked if several months after the beginning of operation the Commission deems that the noise mitigation is unappropriated can the Commission require the applicants to upgrade the mitigation measures. Mr. Kaplan suggested that the Commission make this part of the conditions of approval. 14 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 13, 1990 Motion was made by Chairman Schey to approve the Conditional Use Permit/Variance 90-0087 with the conditions and findings as recommended by staff subject to expansion on Condition No. 4 requiring that noise mitigation be upgraded as necessary to maintain an appropriate noise level for the neighborhood and to approve negative declaration. It was suggested by Secretary Kaplan that the action be taken first on the negative declaration and then on the Conditional Use Permit/Variance. He also suggested that on Condition No. 2 the addition of the wording any other appropriate jurisdiction. Chairman Schey withdrew his motion. Motion was made by Chairman Schey and seconded by Commissioner MacBride to approve the negative declaration as recommended by staff. MOTION CARRIED unanimously. Motion was made by Chairman Schey and seconded to approve Conditional Use Permit/Variance 90-0087 subject to an amendment to Condition No. 2 as indicated by staff with expansion of Condition No. 4 requiring that noise mitigation be upgraded as necessary to maintain an appropriate noise level for the neighborhood. MOTION CARRIED unanimously. 3: Subdivision 90-0052 (Vesting Parcel Map 22178), a subdivision to create 12 lots on 13.35 acres in the CM -BE -UC (Commercial Manufacturing -Billboard Exclusion -Unilateral Contract) zone located at 21600 East Pateway Center Drive.. Subdivision 90-0041 (Vesting Parcel Map 22102), a minor subdivision to create 2 parcels on 4.39 acres in the CM -BE - UC (Commercial Manufacturing -Billboard Exclusion -Unilateral Contract) zone located at 1.575 South Valley Vista. Chairman Schey proposed to open both hearings at the same time and take testimony on them simultaneously, but take separate motions. 15 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 13, 1990 Mr. Searcy gave a brief description of both projects. Both of these subdivision cases are continued from the August 13, 1990 Commission meeting. The recommendation for both projects is for the Commission to direct staff based upon the concerns that the Commission may wish to consider. These concerns address the total amount of development that center will at one point mature to, the types of uses permitted in the Design Guidelines of the Development Standards which apply to the projects, the traffic characteristics generated by the project, identification of the known projects which are likely to contribute to the cumulative traffic impact in the affected areas, the cumulative impact of traffic on adjacent streets and freeway ramps resulting from anticipated projects in the area, the types of mitigation measures both on-site and off- site needed to minimize the adverse traffic impacts, Gateway Center's pro rata share of the cost of this mitigation based upon what the threshold currently is and what it may evolve to in the future, and the extent to which costs have already been underwritten and contributed by the Gateway Corporate Center. If the Commission feels that they have the available information that is adequate for them to make a decision on these projects, staff directs the Commission to approve these parcel maps and direct staff to create the conditions which will guide the implementation.of these parcels. N -o development is proposed at this time and it is expected that any forthcoming development will be submitted to the City for review. Vice Chairman Harmony asked the. City Attorney what kind of review the Commission would have over these parcels if they approved the subdivision before the development is proposed. Mr. Curley stated that he has not yet had an opportunity to review the resolution that was passed by the City Council for the Gateway Center. It is his understanding that the requirements for site development will come back before the Commission for review and approval. Vice Chairman Harmony asked if a restrictive sign ordinance would preclude any CC&R they might pass. Mr. Curley stated that a City Ordinance would take precedent over any CC&R's. 16 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 13, 1990 Mr. Kaplan read the section of the resolution which states that the City Council ratified and reaffirmed the Design Guidelines for Gateway Corporate Center. The resolution also states that business associates of the organization shall provide to the City of Diamond Bar any proposed amendments, modifications or changes to the Design Guidelines or Master Declaration. Mr. Kranzer stated that all public improvements are existing other than what might be needed in the way of expanding the driveway in common with the adjoining developed parcel or whatever might be deemed for future development on the property. Also excluded are the improvements for the 2 streets proposed for the 12 lot subdivision. Chairman Schey asked if the street improvements for both of the proposed streets could be required to be implemented as a condition of approval of the map. Mr. Kranzer indicated that this was correct. Chairman Schey asked Mr. Kranzer if his recommendation was that the street section be modified to be wider. Mr. Kranzer stated that this was the Traffic and Transportation Committee's concern. He finds the street section more than adequate For the particular use. The Traffic and Transportation Committee was concerned with the secondary point of ingress and egress at the westerly end of the project. They were concerned with the possible restrictive sight distance and stopping distance problems. Mr. Kranzer feels that these can be mitigated. He feels that the secondary access will provide for better circulation. He felt that the traffic report was too general. He feels that with the 12 lot subdivision, the greater number of parcels will spread out the peak hour problem and help alleviate the traffic congestion. He feels that the truck lane which will be added to the freeway will help alleviate some of the traffic congestion also. The Public Hearing was opened. The applicant for Subdivision 90-0041 was not present. 17 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 13, 1990 Mr. Refiling stated that they added up the square footage of those projects which have been built or committed to in the planning stage. They calculated that they have use 65 percent of the land and have used 46 percent of the trip budget. The proposed streets will subtract an acre from the site which will reduces the traffic generation for the site. Van Keener stated that the curve radius is 350 which will allow for about 35 MPH. The CC&R's require a 25 foot landscape setback. Those in favor of the projects. Darrel Snyder, resident of tl'a1nut , stated that he has been looking for a site to build an office building near his residence. He has looked in the surrounding cities and did not find an available 1/2 acre parcel in a suitable location. The proposed subdivision will provide lots in the location and the size that he was looking for. Those in opposition of the projects. There were none. The Public Hearing was closed. Mr. Kaplan stated he was concerned with implementing a pedestrian program which would cross the site to enable tenants to use the surrounding facilities. He was also concerned with reevalupting the traffic study. He would like to see an update on the traffic study that recognizes that there are specific cumulative impacts, projects that were not proposed at the time the study was done but are now being proposed, and to recognize that staging is important so that the improvements are in place when they are needed and a procedure that monitors the trip budget. Mr. Reiling stated that he felt that he had contributed the necessary funds and had met these requirements. on PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 13, 1990 Commissioner Grothe stated that the amount that the Zelman Company has contributed is not the entire amount of the cost of all the mitigation measures that need to be implemented. At some point the City will have to find funds to complete these additional improvements if other development has not come along to contribute their share of the cost. If the City does not have the funds the improvements will not be done, and if the improvements are not completed then the Commission may not be able to approve this project. Vice Chairman Harmony asked Mr. Kaplan as to whether this project was good planning. This piece of property was intended for a major tenant. He was concerned with what might happen to the marketability of the center. Is the applicant only subdividing because it is less expensive for them and will those smaller buildings be viable for the community and would they generate the kind of revenue that will pav for the share of .the mitigation measures and their share of being part of the community. Mr. Kaplan stated that some of these lots will be recombined into larger parcels. With the smaller parcel size, the applicants have the ability to play the market whichever way it leads. The Commission was concerned with whether they will have the opportunity to review the development at the time it is proposed if they approve the subdivisions now. Mr. Kaplan felt that this should be held over to the next meeting to allow the City Attorney time, to review the ordinance thoroughly. He felt that the Commission's questions should be addressed prior to approval to the subdivisions. Commissioner MacBride stated that he was in favor of the smaller parcels. He was also in favor of the provision for pedestrian traffic. He felt that the Commission should take action tonight and let the Design Guidelines govern the project. Mr. Kaplan stated that if the Commission acts tonight on the subdivisions, the resolution for both projects will be brought before the Commission at the nest meeting. Thev will then have the opportunity to refine the resolution. 19 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 13, 1990 Mr. Curley stated that after reading the City Council resolution, it is clear to him that the City Council intended the Design Guidelines to be applied. The process by which this will happen is not entirely clear. In his copy of the Design Guidelines, the site diagram for the proposed lots are -not included in the document. The applicant stated that this should be included. Mr. Curley stated that the resolution as it controls this project will have to go before the City Council because the Commission does not know what the Design Guidelines specify for this Lot. The Council resolution states to apply the Design.Guidelines. The Design Guidelines does not regulate this lot. Therefore, the Commission cannot implement the Council's resolution. To implement the Council's resolution it would have to be taken back before the Council for the approval. This lot was planned for a large density. If this is the Commission's guidance, the map should be denied because it does not meet the density that was planned for this area. Motion was made by Chairman Schey to continue to the August 27, 1990 meeting and ask the City Attorney to come back at that time with a procedure that is appropriate .give the CC&R's, Design Guidelines, City Council Resolution and any other pertinent documents that may pertain. to these projects if the Commission is inclined to approve the projects. Mr. Curley asked the Commission if they were still considering the Environmental Impacts of these projects. The Map Act states that subdivisions must be acted upon within 50 days after the environmental issues have been resolved or the application is deemed approved. The Commission stated that they were still considering the environmental issues. Motion was made by Chairman Schey and seconded by Vice Chairman Harmony to amend the motion to continue Subdivision 90-0052 to August 27, 1990.pending ongoing concerns about environmental issues 'that have been raised and development of a set of procedures by the City Attorney. MOTION CARRIED unanimously. Motion was made. by Chairman Schey and seconded by Vice Chairman Harmony to continue Subdivision 90-0041 to August 27, 1990 pending ongoing concerns about environmental issues that have been raised and development of a set of procedures by the City Attorney. MOTION CARRIED unanimously. 20 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 13, 1990 The applicant asked that they be scheduled first on the next agenda. The Commission agreed to this request. 4. Conditional Use Permit 90-0070, AR Investments, Inc. -- Family Dining Restaurant designed with maximum occupancy of 285 persons on a 104,700 square foot lot located in Gateway Corporate Center at 21671 East Gateway Center Drive. Mr. Searcy gave a brief description on the project. The restaurant does not currently propose live entertainment. The interior of the project is approximately 9,650 square feet. It is a single story structure with a bar and lounge area of approximately 1,425 square feet, a dinning area of approximately 2,340 square feet, large enough to accommodate approximately 156 guests. There is a mezzanine level of approximately 430 square feet which will not have any facilities which will allow for seated guests. Access for this area is taken from the eastern end of the project by an exterior staircase which will lead to the top and overlook the 57 Freeway. The site is approximately 2.5 acres in size. The pad is graded and slopes down to Golden Springs. This area is currently landscaped. Along the boarder of Gateway Center Drive. Pine trees are currently located along this area. Concerns pertaining to this project, as discussed at the One Stop meeting, are compliance with the Development Standards for the Gateway Center Design Guidelines, setbacks, lot coverage, height (approximately 80 feet from the bottom of the retaining wall to the crest line of the structure), parking, landscaping, signage, architectural design, materials and features. Traffic and Circulation have been addressed. The concerns of the Fire Department were pertaining to the 26 foot driveway at the opening of the subject site unobstructed from ground to sky. This has been taken care of. Lighting for the site has been focused which will now allow complete lighting of all sides that have access to parking and pedestrian access. A sidewalk will provide access to the Days Inn. The project includes a monument sign at the entrance and flags and banners which will be located along the northern entrance. The Final EIR, completed in 1980, identified one restaurant as an allowable use within the complex. This is the only restaurant proposed for this complex other than the eating facility at the Days Inn. 21 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 13, 1990 One of the concerns of staff was that the mezzanine area was not taken into account as far as parking. It seems logical to staff that at some point this mezzanine area may evolve into a seating area based upon its aesthetic view and the way it will be used. If such a conversion were to take place, one of the conditions would be that approximately 8 additional parking spaces be provided to absorb the additional capacity that this area would create. Additionally, there is a concern based upon the configuration of the site, it seems to allow itself to an eventual lot split. Staff feels at this time, if the Commission desires, that they condition the project so that the lot will always.maintain its current configuration. Further concerns are that under the current design it conforms to the landscaping or to the portion of the site to the west which is now proposing no development with the Design Guidelines that portion brings it up to the allowable 50 percent lot coverage with a 50 percent landscaping. Any lot split will then bring either or both parcels into noncompliance with the design guidelines. There is a condition in the CC&R's that this site will always be used a restaurant facility and for no other use. Chairman Schey asked the City Attorney if the Commission could condition the site to restrict the property from further subdividing. Mr. Curley stated that they could not. The subdivision process is set forth in the State Law. They could, however, place a note in the staff report so that if they come back proposing a subdivision they will know that there was a concern about doing so. I The Public Hearing was opened to the applicant. Mr. Valasquez, Representing Dr. Omar, presented the architectural design to the Commission. He stated that the roof will be constructed of fire retardant material. The windows will be tinted. The entry will be paved with natural brown tile, the exterior will be paved from the access of the hotel to the main entry of the restaurant. The interior will be of natural browns and maroon. The theme of the restaurant is pseudo Moroccan and the banners represent this particular type of architecture. The application is for a 98,000 square foot restaurant with 285 occupancy. 22 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 13, 1990 Commissioner MacBride asked how many banners are proposed for the project. The applicant stated that there will be 18 banners. Six of the banners will be facing the freeway. The banners will be approximately 2 feet by 3 feet and will be made of nylon. The roof materials will be highly visible but will not be glaring for traffic traveling the freeway. The restaurant will not have a dancing area provided, but they will have a room which can be used for weddings, parties, etc. Chairman Schey asked if the process is different for restaurants proposing live entertainment as opposed to those which are not. Mr. Searcy stated that he would have to research the Design Guidelines to see if they would have to apply for a Conditional Use Permit. He would also have to determine if this use would be in excess of 99 persons. If, so they will have to submit a special request proposing a night club. If the Commission approves this project tonight, it would have to be with the condition that there will not be any live entertainment. Those in favor of the project. There were none. Those in opposition of the project. There were none. I The public hearing was closed. Commissioner Grothe felt that he would like to see colored elevations before making his decision. He was concerned with the mezzanine area being enclosed in the future and that the roof materials might create too much glare onto the freeway traffic. Secretary Kaplan stated that the Commission does not have the authority to approve banners under the existing code. Vice Chairman Harmony asked if the City Engineer has had the opportunity to review the project. Mr. Kranzer stated that he had reviewed the project. 23 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 13, 1990 Commissioner MacBride stated that he would like to see the colored elevations and he was also concerned with the banners. Chairman Schey stated he was concerned with the legality of the banners. He would like to see more information on the sign program and the parking plan. He feels that they have to include in the parking configuration the probability that the mezzanine area will be converted into dinning. Mr. Searcy stated that, according to Section 22.52.9.90 of the code, banners are prohibited. Motion was made by Chairman Schey and seconded by Vice Chairman Harmony to continue Conditional Use Permit 90-0070 and the Mitigated Negative Declaration to August 27th, pending the receipt of colored elevations, a detailed sign plan and a revision of the parking plan to accommodate parking for the mezzanine deck. MOTION CARRIED unanimously. 6. Zone Change and Conditional Use Permit 89-440, A request for a Zone Change from Ml (Light Manufacturing) to C1 (Restricted Commercial) and a Development Agreement to allow a 135 room hotel with a conference room, a 5,000 square foot restaurant, three retail structures totalling approximately 25,000 square feet and five (5) freestanding signs with a height in excess of six (6') feet. Commissioner Grothe excused himself from the hearing due to a possible conflict of interest. I Mr. Curley stated that the Commission approved the.change of zone to accommodate the project but the zone selected did not permit the project as planned and approved. The zone only permitted 2 story hotels and this project proposed 3 stories. The project is back before the Commission with the same development proposal but with a development agreement accompanying the Zone Change request. The project will be controlled by the Development Agreement which will give the City more control over the project. 24 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 13, 1990 Mr. Searcy stated that this project is back before the Commission based upon an appeal by the City Council directing the project back to the Planning Commission to address concerns based upon intensity of use, internal circulation and an appropriate zone to allow the hotel to be constructed. This project is accompanied with a Development Agreement. This Development Agreement will govern the configuration of the project, architectural stvling, materials, and specific uses that the project will be.able to attract to the center as tenants. There is also specific timing and term of the Development Agreement which is very restrictive. When the project was initially approved by the Planning Commission, the project included a fast food restaurant, sit- down family restaurant, two commercial retail buildings and a 3 -story, 135 room hotel. As the project comes back to the Commission, it is in its previous form except it has slightly been rotated in its configuration to allow for better circulation and to address the concerns regarding parking and pedestrian circulation to the eastern portion of the project. The family restaurant and pad B have not been revised. Pad C has been changed from a fast food restaurant to a 4,500 square foot commercial retail building and the shop building has been decreased in size to a current 14,535 square foot structure. Signage for the project is the same as approved by the Commission at the previous meeting. Included in the sign program are 3 monument signs for Pads A through C. The total square footage for these signs is 131.25 square feet. They will be 6 feet in height and will have a 3 foot by 7 foot configuration. The Fairfield Inn will have 3 wall signs which total 172 square feet. There are two directional signs for the Fairfield Inn. One at the entrance of the project site taking access from Brea Canvon the other at the northern elevation of the Fairfield Inn. There is also a freestanding 39 foot high freeway oriented sign which will be 182.25 square feet. 25 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 13, 1990 The zone change request is for a Cl zone. The Development Agreement allows for the three story hotel which is riot presently allowed in the C1 zone. A variance request is not applicable because there is not the findings of a topographical difficulty and such which would allow a variance to be approved The uses, as stated in the Development Agreement, are primarily Cl zone uses other than the allowance of the development of the 3 -story hotel. There is a reduction in the parking spaces which is a result of the provision of an access to the parcel to the north which was a concern of the City Council. There has been an access to the rear of the shop building that serves the 15 foot easement along the flood channel. Provision of these two access points has resulted in a reduction of the parking. Per the requirements, the applicant is still in excess of the required number of parking spaces. Shared parking will evolve out of the use of the hotel and the shopping areas due to the difference in the peak hours of the facilities. The Sign Program, as submitted by the applicant, will require that each owner to obtain permits through the Planning and Building Departments at the time that they occupy the buildings. Landscaping and open space for the project is approximately 22 liercent of the gross square footage of the project. Landscaping along the flood channel will be implemented with 24 inch box trees and an eight foot block wall which will provide adequate privacy and blockage of any type of negative aesthetics that the neighbors to the north of the project might experience. I The traffic mitigation is basically the same. There is a reduction probably in the intensity of traffic generated based upon the reduction in the type of uses that have implemented into the project. The mitigation conditions are the same and the Architectural composition is the same. They will be using the same colors and materials. Staff recommends review and will take direction from the Commission as to the conditions that may be additionally addressed. The Commission has received a copy of a letter from Commissioner Lin. She stated in a conversation with Mr. Searcy that her main concern, in addition to the letter, is the internal circulation of the project. The main entrance to center off of Brea Canyon is approximately 28 foot driveway aisle that will have to be crossed in order to get to the main commercial building. There may be some safety concerns pertaining to the pedestrian traffic crossing this area. 26 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 13, 1990 The hearing was opened to the applicant. Ken Spear, Cahan Crises Properties, the applicant, stated that they have undergone several changes and he feels that they now have addressed all of the concerns of the City Council and the Planning Commission. In converting Pad C from a fast food restaurant, they were able to lengthen the entry before there is any cross traffic. All of the circulation patterns are contained in one area without conflicting with the main entry. Most of the tenants will be front loading uses. There was still a concern pertaining to loading areas. As a result, they have created a back loading area which will enable trucks to make a 3 point turn and exit the area. They wanted to create an entry which would not create conflicts with the traffic circulation. They will install a continuous curb so that the traffic that enters will not have many opportunities to make turns in the entry area. The reason that they shifted the hotel was because they wanted to push it back on the site to allow for more parking. They have another scenario which will create additional parking, but will elements the continuous landscape barrier. They took pictures of the surrounding residences at a height which one would be at if standing on the third level of the hotel to show what the line of sight would be. They have traffic study which addresses all of the off-site mitigation measures which they are in agreement with. They have also enhanced the elevations to introduce additional architectural treatment. The building used to have a longer elevation which is now broken up with some accent towers. 27 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 13, 1990 The existing sign for the RV lot is in a similar location as to the sign that is being proposed. The Fairfield Inn will occupy the top portion of the sign and the area below that will be used for the other users. This is important due to the fact that the site sits considerably below elevation. Theyareproposing 3—monument signsnotto exceed the 6 foot height limit for the three pad users. There will also be some signage on the hotel itself. The signs proposed for the retail building will be 2 feet high with individual channel letters and will be one of four colors. These colors are red, white, blue and yellow. All of the buildings will be of white stucco with blue and grey accent. Theyare proposing a metal roof on both the retail and hotel buildings. There were some concerns with a metal roof so they are proposing a tile roof as an alternative. As long as the tenants conform to the regulations of the Sign Program which requires signs to be no greater than 24 inches tall, individual channel letters, and one of the four approved colors, they will not have to have special approval. If they deviated from this criteria, they would be required to come before the Planning Commission. For the pylon sign, they would have to establish who would be the major tenant for the retail building and this would be the tenant whose name will be placed on the sign. Vice Chairman Harmony asked if the easement would have to be fenced off. The applicant stated that they own the property and the Flood Control District have an easement over 15 feet of it. , Mr Searcy asked the applicant if there was a reason for the 32 foot height of the commercial buildings. The Architect indicated that the 32 height limit was only at the towers and is not throughout the entire building. The average will be 26 feet and it will step down to about 22 feet. This is proposed to attract attention at the entry to the center. W PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 13, 1990 Rock Miller, Traffic Engineering Consultant, discussed the traffic study. He stated that they are down approximately 500 trips from the last presentation they gave the Planning Commission due to the deletion of the fast food pad. He is not concerned with pedestrian circulation. Over 50 percent of the demand for the retail buildings will be met by the parking on front of the buildings. These buildings require 4 parking spaces per 1000 square feet. Two of these spaces are provided in front of the building. The third space is employee parking which normally is not in front of the buildings. The fourth space is for overflow parking. This typically only happens for an hour or two per day whenever any individual generator peaks. Due to this, he does not see the need for the outer tier of parking or the need to cross the aisle occurring when the hotel is generating a lot of traffic. Moving the first entrance further back from Brea Canyon helps traffic entering the site. The off-site mitigation measures are identical to those previously submitted. Vice Chairman Harmony asked, since the whole project is centered around the hotel, what kind of traffic problems will this create and have they recommended any mitigation measures. Mr. Miller stated that this helps by allowing all of the parking to be used. It may somewhat decrease interaction between buildings. If the easement was not created to be open at each end, it would provide enough area for a two -axle vehicle to turn around in an extreme manner. It also will not be a problem for a vehicle to back out of this area. Each pad will have provision for its own trash enclosure. Vice Chairman asked the applicant if he would object to adding sidewalks under the freeway. Mr. Spear stated that he would because he does not see how this will impact the project. They would have to traverse Cal -Trans property and would have to obtain their approval to do this. Because they are providing an exclusive right turn .lane into the project traveling north on Brea Canyon, they would have to come on the interior of the site and into the landscape area in order to provide a sidewalk. They could provide a sidewalk to the end of the project. He felt that the Commission would be burdening them to put a sidewalk when there are no houses in that area. 29 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 13, 1990 Vice Chairman Harmony felt that these improvements will need to be done sometime and the Commission is taking action on the last developable site in the area. Mr. Spear stated that they are in agreement with the -Development Agreement and the Condit -ions of Approval. The time table in the Development Agreement requires that the applicants complete construction work within two years. The rough grading of the site, in accordance with the approved plans, must be completed within 45 days of the effective date. The effective date will be the date of the adoption of the resolution. The resolution will go into effect 30 days after the second reading. Those in favor of the project. There were none. Those in opposition of the project. There were none. The Public Hearing was closed. Vice Chairman Harmony stated that he was pleased with the project and the traffic study. He felt that the sign was reasonable for the site. He would like to see sidewalks provided but would not hold the project up for this if the Commission was not in agreement with him. Commissioner MacBride liked the original entrance proposed for the project. He was very please with the entire project. Chairman Schey was concerned with the signage relative to what they have been working on with the sign ordinance. He feels that there are too many wall signs on the Fairfield Inn and that there may also be too many monument signs. He was in favor of not approving the sign program, subject to it coming back to the Commission for further review. He felt that requiring the sidewalks to be installed would be over burdening the applicant. 30 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 13, 1990 Commissioner MacBride' felt that the height of the freeway oriented sign was not excessive. The existing sign for the RV lot shows that there is a need for a sign of this height. Chairman Schey felt that maybe they did not need the freeway sign when the wall signs on the Fairfield Inn will be 35 feet to 40 feet high. Wayne Sant, Marriott Corporation, stated that they will have 2 signs that will be facing the north and west and one sign which will be on the east end of the building facing the freeway. Motion was made by Chairman Schey and seconded by Commissioner MacBride to approve the Environmental Determination and findings as recommended by staff. MOTION CARRIED unanimously. Motion was made by Chairman Schey and seconded by Commissioner MacBride to recommend approval of Zone Change 89-440 subject to the omission of the freeway sign and its reconsideration at a later date and approval of the Development Agreement. MOTION CARRIED unanimously. VI. INFORMATION ITEMS: 1. South Coast Air Quality Control District Report, a report highlighting the actions of their June 28 and July 6 meetings. VII. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Commissioner Grothe stated that he would like to make a motion to direct staff to draft a resolution eliminating compact parking spaces and making the standard parking.stalls 9 feet x 20 feet. Secretary Kaplan stated that 9 feet by 20 feet would make it difficult to provide aisles. The Commission was in agreement to eliminate compact parking spaces and to further the discussion on the dimensions of standard size stalls. 31 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AUGUST 13, 1990 Secretary Kaplan stated that the City Council has proposed to pay the Commission members $60.00 a meeting and has asked. Mr. Kaplan to find out what the Commission's feeling is toward this. Vice Chairman Harmony asked if a memo has been -sent to the City Council regarding the televising of the Planning Commission meetings. Chairman Schey stated that he had not but he will. Vice Chairman Harmony asked staff if they notify Jones Intercable of the Commission's agendas. Staff stated that they have not. Vice Chairman Harmony asked that this be done in the future. Vice Chairman Harmony stated that City Councilman Kim recommended that policies created by the Commission be numbered and recorded. For example, requesting that Jones Intercable be notified of the Planning Commission agendas. ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business to come before the Commission, Motion was made by Chairman Schey and seconded by Commissioner MacBride and carried unanimously to adjourn the meeting at 12:20 p.m. to the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning Commission on August 27, 1990 to be held at the Walnut Valley Unified School District Bo9rd Room, 880 N. Lemon Avenue, Walnut, California at.7:00 p.m. ATTEST: Dennis A. Tarango Secretary, Planning Commission 32 David Schey Chairman MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission FROM: Irwin Kaplan, Interim City Planner SUBJECT: CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARINGS: Parcel Map 22178 and 22102 DATE: The attached reports respond to the issues raised at the August 13 Planning Commission hearings on Parcel Map 22178 for the creation of 12 lots and 22102 for the creation of 2 lots at Gateway Corporate Center. The report from the Interim Planning Director recommends conditions to assure that the project will adequately mitigate on-site and off-site circulation impacts attributable to the development of Gateway Center. The letter from the Deputy City Attorney responds to the Commission's question as to its scope of authority in the Gateway Center Review process. It also responds to a request from staff for procedure whereby the Commission might act upon the current proposal, conditioned upon mitigation measures not fully identified or in place. 1. The letter from the Deputy City Attorney recommends against applying prospective conditions to mitigate unknown impacts. It concludes that the vagueness will create enforcement problems later 1.»r 2. The letter also concludes that the subdivision map submittal is a departure from the design guidelines which require approval by the City. In its review, therefore, the Planning Commission may recommend the imposition of whatever conditions it deems appropriate. 3. The letter does not address the question of the Commission's scope of authority over Gateway Center development if the subdivision request were to be withdrawn. The Commission may wish to pose this question to the City Attorney on Monday. Based on the new information, therefore, it appears that the Planning Commission may: 1. Deny the request. 2. Grant the applicant time to prepare the information needed for a "mitigated" negative declaration, provided that it allows enough time for the Commission to take action within 120 days from the time the application was deemed complete. The Commission action may be combined with number 113" below. 3. Recommend approval of the request, together with whatever appropriate recommendations the Commission deems appropriate regarding site development and procedures. 4. Alternatively, the applicant may wish to withdraw the request if there is not enough time to complete the necessary studies and resubmit the information when it is compiled. MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission FROM: Irwin M. Kaplan SUBJECT: Staff Review of Project with Applicant Several important issues were raised at the August 13 Planning Commission meeting with respect to the Parcel map applications for Gateway Center. The issues fall into two major categories. 1. The scope of the Commission's authority over development proposals in the Gateway Center in light of the October 17, 1989 resolution adopted by Council. 2. The adequacy of the traffic mitigation measures previously approved for the Gateway Corporate Center Project. A. with respect to the Commission's Review Authority, the City Attorney requested an opportunity to study the matter and report back. A memo from the City Attorney is submitted separately. B. with respect to the adequacy of traffic mitigation measures staff, has met with the applicant and indicated that it would recommend to the Planning Commission that the following information be provided to the City so that an informed decision could be made and additional conditions imposed, if deemed appropriate. The applicant has indicated a willingness to prepare the updated information and to abide by a requirement for amended mitigation measure which reflect the applicant's pro -rata share of additional mitigation costs, but has also indicated that such information would provide a month to prepare. Since the applicant is concerned bout further delaying a decision on the project, the applicant has requested Commission approval at this time, with a commitment by the applicant to abide by conditions which would be established at a later date, after the appropriate mitigation measures have been identified. The City Attorney has been asked to suggest a procedure whereby this might be achieved and will respond separately. 1) Recognizing the changing nature of the project, it is recommended that an overall pedestrian plan be prepared. which connects likely destinations within the Center by way of the shortest feasible routes. The plan should be designed to overcome the reluctance of people to walk unprotected from direct sunlight during the heat of the day. The plan should also be supported with a program which assigns responsibility for development .of the Pedestrian Network. 2) It is recommended that the traffic mitigation measures be systematically reviewed and updated, using a procedure along the following lines. a) Estimates of ultimate buildout should be prepared, using known development information when available and making explicit assumptions as to the size and type of development for the remaining parcels. (The purpose is to have a basis for a revised Trip Budget. obviously, actual development will be different.) b) The assumptions used for the ambient growth rate should be reviewed and modified, if appropriate. C) The cumulative impacts of specific projects in the area (inside and outside Diamond Bar) which would affect transportation to and from the project area should be reviewed and updated to include known projects of significance. d) Using explicit trip. generation assumptions for the various uses, an update of trip generation characteristics should be prepared. e) A revised Trip Budget should be prepared for the project. f) The program of traffic improvements proposed for the roads affected by project area traffic should be reviewed and revised as may be dictated by the revised information. This should identify Gateway's pro -rata share of the cost of these improvements. g) The Trip Budget should then be allocated among the various traffic improvements, so that there is a way to determine that the rate of development will keep pace with the provision of the improvements which are intended to mitigate the impacts of development. i) Although funds have been paid by the developer toward certain traffic imprpvements, some of the improvements have not been constructed, for reasons outside the developer's control. The Planning Commission may wish to credit these improvements against the Trip Budget, even though they have not been constructed. ii) Conversely, improvements not yet in place and operational, should not be credited against the Trip Budget. These would include any Transportation Demand Management (TDM) related programs, as well as physical traffic improvements. JAMES L. MARKMAN ANDREW V. ARCZYNSKI RALPH D.

Curley, IIICO/ Deputy City Attorney �e 9113 FOOTHILL BOULEVARD SUITE 200 RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA 91730 r (7I4) 980-2742 TELEPHONE+` (714) 381-0218 Brea RE: Opinion Regarding Applicability of City Council Resolution No. 89-104 to Subsequent Subdivision of Parcels in "Gateway Center" Project I have thoroughly reviewed Resolution 89-104 of the City Council (October 17, 1989). This Resolution provides the following relevant information: 1. Recital v (Page 2) establishes that "Diamond Bar Business Associates" recorded a Master Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (hereinafter CC&R's). The CC&R's adopted and approved a document intended to guide and direct development within the project; the document is identified as the "Gateway Corporate Center - Diamond Bar Design Guidelines." This(document appears to provide both general and site-specific standards to which development projects must adhere. The "adherence" requirement ostensibly arises from a review and concurrence by the City that the implementation of such standards will result in improvements which advance and benefit the City. 2. Recital vii (Page 3) establishes that the express purpose of Resolution 89-104 is to "reconfirm and ratify the Design Guidelines as heretofore amended, "[amended July 1988, Recital vi]" in order to insure that the same are utilized and implemented with respect to property developed in 'Gateway.' (Emphasis added). Memorandum to: Irwin Kaplan August 23, 1990 Page Two 3. The Resolution (Section B) establishes in Section B-3 that "the Design Guidelines, . shall be . ., applicable to all projects in Gateway and City staff, consultants and developers of projects within Gateway hereby are directed to implement the same." (Emphasis added). 4. The City is provided an opportunity to reconsider the Resolution pursuant to Section B-5 wherein the City is to be provided any "proposed amendments, modifications or changes to the Design Guidelines and/or the Master Declaration." It is likely that this opportunity for review is intended to allow the City to determine if the proposed change satisfies the City's standards. The above -referenced excerpts from Resolution 89-104 lead to specific conclusions: 1. All involved parties, with the possible exception of the Planning Commission, are required to follow the 1988 version of the Design Guidelines. Adhering to the Design Guidelines would expressly require denial of the tentative subdivision map on the basis that the "small lot" development scheme is not set forth in the Design Guidelines which the Resolution requires to be implemented. Further, it has not been demonstrated that the previous environmental reviews which considered the impacts related to "large lot" projects are accurate and applicable to small lot subdivisions. 2. If the subdivision map submittal is to be considered the provision to the City of the proposed changes pursuant to Section B-5 of the Resolution, then the Planning Commission should feel free to make what it considers to be the appropriate recommendations regarding the site development, including Conditional UseiPermits, etc. Such proposals by the Commission should consider both amendments to the Design Guidelines and factors associated with the subdivision map. The City Council must then consider the proposed revisions to the Design Guidelines and determine what modifications to Resolution 89-104 are appropriate. Concerns regarding traffic -related impacts are most appropriately responded to via the environmental review process as set forth in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The CEQA process allows environmental issues to be resolved prior to action on a subdivision request. The determination achieved as a result of the environmental investigation serves as a basis for the approval or denial of the subdivision map pursuant to Government Code § 66474 (Map Act). I don't recommend applying prospective conditions to mitigate unknown impacts. By this I mean that a condition applied to the map approval that generally requires the Memorandum to: Irwin Kaplan August 23, 1990 Page Three applicant to review traffic issues, then, if necessary, develop and implement some mitigation measures is inherently vague and may pose enforcement problems. There is the possibility that sufficient time may exist for the applicant to prepare the necessary traffic . analysis so as to support a "mitigated" negative declaration. Such would depend on when the application was deemed complete; the time left with the 120 -day period from the date the submittal was deemed complete would define the "working time" left for the applicant to develop and gain Commission concurrence for a "mitigated" negative declaration. Alternatively, the applicant could consider withdrawing the map at present, prepare the necessary traffic analysis, and resubmit a complete set of documents. I believe this responds to the inquiries raised regarding the present submittals. Please feel free to contact me at your convenience regarding this matter.

These guidelines document design decisions and development requirements that affect general and specific areas of the project. Development requirements are further governed by the Agreement of Protective Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions recorded December 17, 1987, Instrument Nos.: 81-1240181 and 81-1240182 and any amendments thereto, Gateway Corporate Center Master Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions recorded April 13, 1987, Instrument No.: 87-567650 and any amendments thereto, and all local, county and state governing agencies. These guidelines serve as a control on the individual parcel development to provide consistency and a cohesive distinguishable character. They supplement previous planning documents done on this site and are the evaluation tool of county and local agencies. L= 1.1 HOW TO USE THESE GUIDELINES First, become oriented to Gateway Corporate Center Diamond Bar by locating the individual site within the Center and familiarize yourself with its relationship to the major entries, the freeway, and the hillside. Next, become familiar with the group of information which describes the site planning of the individual site. It is supported by guidelines for building development and landscape development. Also included are sections of information on signs, lighting and site furnishings. These sections provide all the design criteria and requirements for building and landscaping within Gateway Corporate Center Diamond Bar.

It is located at the intersection of the Orange (57) and Pomona(60)Freeways, arteries which tie it to Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside Counties. It is comprised of approximately 225 acres of land. Approximately (80) eighty acres are de- velopable sites and (175) one hundred seventy-five acres are maintained as hillside/open space. The location of recommended type and size of developments is as shown on the Gateway Corporate Center Diamond Bar Master Plan. L 1.3 DESIGN CONCEPT Access, to Gateway Corporate Center is provided by 2 entries from Golden Springs Drive. A major statement is made at each entry featuring a series of walls parallel to the entry within a developed open space. The entries are the 2 ends of the internal loop road, Copley Drive and Gateway Center Drive, from which access is gained to the multi -tenant campus, the commercial sites, and the urban core. Also taking acgess from this road is the corporate loop road, Bridge Gate:Drive and Valley Vista Drive, from which access is gained to all parcels offered for sale. Access to the corporate loop road features an entry statement of reduced scale similar to the main entries. Individual parcel entries occur at designated locations near side property lines. Their design reinforces the consistency of the entry statements. GATEWAY CORPORATE CENTER DIAMOND BAR 5 ,v 2.0 SITE PLANNING GUIDELINES ^0 L 2.1 .

GATEWAY CORPORATE CENTER DIAMOND BAR 65 LANDSCAPE MASTER PLAN G GATEWAY CORPORATE CENTER DIAMOND BAR � r EXHIBIT X111 L 4.0 LANDSCAPE MASTER PLAN � r The landscape master plan for Gateway Corporate Center Diamond Bar consists of planting zones that identify and give character to the site. A zone of formal street trees lines both loop roads and occurs on the side of the street where the buildings and entries are located. The concept is to create a planting of columnar evergreen trees along Gateway Center Drive, Copley Drive, Valley Vista Drive and Bridge Gate Drive to give a character of order, unity and formality. On the opposite side of the road is a less -formal planting zone of deciduous trees. They line the road in an irregular pattern at the top of the slope and then continue down the slope in a, mass with groundcover below. Along the hillside near the east entry is an oak tree zone, planted in a grid pattern. This area will meet the county's requirement for oak trees to be planted on the site. There are three (3) types of -slope planting in the master plan. The most prominent and dramatic is the large, long slope displayed along the freeway frontage. The planting for this slope will be a colorful, evergreen planting with a "fabric" of shrubs overlaid in a grid system. The slopes separating the individual parcels will be a uniformly evergreen groundcover with trees and shrubs. At the end of the project, at the .base of .the foothills, is a slope planting of naturalized native shrubs and wildflower seeds. This is an attempt to transition the plant material as it meets the indigenous hillside plants. GATEWAY CORPORATE CENTER DIAMOND BAR 67 ENTRY PERSPECTIVE GATEWAY CORPORATE CENTER DIAMOND BAR EXHIBIT XIV 1 F L 4.1 PROJECT ENTRY There is an east and a west project entry to Gateway Corporate Center Diamond Bar. The east entry, at Copley Drive, serves as the major collector of traffic entering and exiting the site. Since the slopes at this entry aren't as prominent as the west entry at Gateway Center Drive, the buildings in this case will come closer to the entry and re-create the Gateway image. The entry at Gateway Center Drive can be seen from the freeway and so its image needs to be established from a further vantage point. Large, colorful slopes flank the vehicular entry which has a series of receding walls. This entry also has a welcoming feel and scale through the use of formal and textural plant material, dramatic up -lighting of the trees and walls, and identification graphics.

LOOP ROAD PLANTING L• GATEWAY CORPORATE CENTER DIAMOND BAR r EXHIBIT XVII t L 4.2 PLANTING FOR LOOP DRIVES The loop drive planting will be one of the elements which gives Gateway Corporate Center Diamond Bar its cohesive, distinguishable character. On the building side of each drive will be a formal planting of trees at 30 feet on center in a 6 foot wide turf parkway at curbside. Then a 4 foot wide sidewalk completes the 10 foot wide right of way. On the slope side of the road an informal, random spacing of deciduous flowering trees will be set in a 10 foot wide turf parkway. The planting down the slope to the lower road will consist of a mix of deciduous native trees, shrubs and flowering groundcover. The planting slope area between the street right of way and the parcel's 25 foot landscaped setback line shall be planted and maintained by the parcel developer, to the standards set by Gateway Corporate Center Diamond Bar, using materials specified as loop drive planting in these guidelines. 4.2.1 The following trees and plants will be used at the loop drive front yard landscaped setback: EVERGREEN TREES: Cedrus Deodara Deodar Cedar 24" Box @ 60' c.c.

In the front of a parcel, this planting zone will be adjacent to the formal loop road planting. For each developed parcel there is specific design criteria which addresses the parking lot arrangement, parcel lighting, signage and planting setbacks. See Section 2.10 for site diagrams. 4.3.1 Fifteen percent (15%) of the gross usable lot area (which shall include front setback areas but exclude all natural and graded side and rear yard slopes) of each lot in the property.developed for com- mercial, retail, or office/professional uses shall be required as a landscape area. As previously noted, landscaping for rear and side slopes may not be counted toward lot landscaping requirements with the following exception: Where over twenty percent (20%) of any lot consists of side and rear yard slopes, that lot shall be allowed to use that slope landscaping for one-third of their land- scaping requirements. 4.3.2 Concrete curbs will be provided as borders between landscape areas along toe of backslope and along top and toe of parcel slopes. 4.3.3 All buildings must have a minimum width of 6 feet of landscaping at face of building except at entrances and service areas. Service areas have specific landscape screening requirements (Refer to Section 4.5).

L 6.3 SERVICE AREA LIGHTING Service area lighting shall be contained within the service yard boundaries and enclosure walls., No light spillover shall occur outside the service area. The light source shall not be visible from outside the service area. _. GATEWAY CORPORATE CENTER DIAMOND BAR 83 L6.4 BUILDING AND ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING Building illumination and architectural lighting shall be indirect in character. (No light source visible.) Indirect wall lighting, "wall washing" overhead down lighting, or interior illumination which spills outside is encouraged. Architectural lighting should articulate and animate the particular building design as well as provide the required functional lighting for safety of pedestrian movement. L 6.5. PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING Pedestrian walk and area lighting is segmented into two zones: 6.5.1. The first zone is pedestrian area lighting. This is for outdoor pedestrian use areas such as courtyards, entry ways, etc. Pedestrian area lighting should achieve a uniformity minimum ratio of 3.5 -to -1, with an average illumination of .60 foot-candles and a minimum of .is foot-candles and shall be metal hallide or incandescent. 6.5.2. The second zone is for pedestrian walk lighting, where point-to-point lighting is acceptable with no specific illumination levels required.

Van Nort, City Manager t rw� n k 1 aye Gateway Corporate Center - Road Improvement Funds August 10, 1990 The City recently received a check in the amount of Three Hundred Twenty-five Thousand, Nine Hundred and Seventy-eight Dollars ($325,978) for traffic improvements from the Gateway Corporate Center. The attached report, prepared by the County, describes their methodology and projects for the collection.of the monies. In the event you have any question, please contact the County for any further information. City Manager RLVN:pjs Enclosure cc: Finance Fii:IuIMG7ehf:� For the intersection of Brea Canyon Road and Colima we recommend striping modification within existing 84' road. For southbound traffic a dual left -turn lane, two through lanes, and mandatory right -turn lane. Northbound traffic should be handled with one left -turn lane two through lane and one right -turn only lane. Eastbound and Westbound direction - three through lanes with left -turn lane_ At the intersection of Golden Springs Drive/Grand Avenue. Based on a recent analysis by this Department, we believe feasible improve- ments to this intersection would involve localized widening to provide three through lanes in each direction on Grand Avenue, two through lanes in each direction on Golden Springs Drive, dual left -turn lanes, and exclusive right -turn lane on each approach, and bike lanes on Golden Springs Drive. At the intersection of Golden Springs Drive/Diamond Bar Boulevard, we generally agree that the cumulative traffic impacts could be mitigated by constructing dual left -turn lanes on both the north and south approaches from Golden Springs Drive to Diamond Bar Boulevard and an exclusive right -turn lane from westbound Diamond Bar Boulevard to northbound Golden Springs Drive. We recommend that the developer contribute a pro rata share of the cost for localized widening to construct the above recommended mitigation measures at the intersections of Brea Canyon Road/ Colima Road, Golden Springs Drive/Grand Avenue, and Golden Springs Drive/Diamond Bar Boulevard. rely\ui•7�7 TO FROM /ate, IK' Clii' eZ;s5-'6'' 1 c'0710 27O -S pp p Y ' Dol. 8 - No. ZFZ5. 123, 49 ?

Tarango, Planning Commission Secretary FROM: Irwin Kaplan, Interim Planning Director By: Rob Searcy, Assistant Director of Planning SUBJECT: Environmental Assessment and subdivision 90-0041 (Vesting parcel Map 22102): An application to divide the existing parcel into two lots of 3.62 and .77 acres in size. APPLICANT: Specialty Equipment Marketing Assoc. 1. PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION A. Action requested: issuance of a Negative Declaration and approval of a Vesting Parcel Map. B. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning. North - (Valley Vista Dr.) Vacant, zoned for commercial - manufacturing use. No projects on file. South - Vacant, zoned for commercial -manufacturing use. No projects on file. East - Vacant, zoned for commercial -manufacturing use. No projects on file. west - Vacant, zoned for commercial -manufacturing use. No projects on file. C. Community Plan Deslgnaltion Project Site: Commercial North: Commercial South: Open Space East: Commercial West: Commercial D. Site Characteristics: The 4.39 acre site is zoned for commercial - manufacturing uses, and is part of the Gateway Corporate Center. The site currently contains a 2 -story office building. The site has been landscaped with some street trees but contains no other significant flora or fauna. The site has had extensive grading and notable surface and subsurface construction (sidewalks, parkways and sewer structures). The site has direct access to Valley Vista Drive. ANALYSIS Gateway Corporate Center was approved by the County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors under a "Unilateral Contract" procedure in 1985. Under this procedure, the zone changed to Commercial - Manufacturing (CM) (which allows for unlimited height, a floor area ratio of 13 times the net buildable site area and a wide range of commercial and industrial uses) which were further restricted through CC & Rs which were recorded with the zone change. The CC & Rs incorporate design guidelines by reference, which establish height limits (from 9 stories) and narrow the range of uses. (There have been subsequent changes in the CC & Rs and the design guidelines). Additionally built into the unilateral contract, is the provision that any revision of the CC & Rs is to be approved by the governing authority, now the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar. The City Council assumed this role from the Board of Supervisors upon incorporation and in October 1989, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 89 -104 -ratifying and reconfirming design guidelines for Gateway Center. The guidelines are more restrictive than the Commercial - Manufacturing Zone standards, therefore these guidelines regulate development within the center. In addition, all development in the center must be in accordance with all applicable state and local laws such as CEQA, and local codes. The subdivision of this project is not accompanied by a development project. The lot split will create two lots. Lot No. 1 will be 3.77 acres and lot No. 2 will be .77 acres. Currently lot No. 1 is developed with an office building and is served by one driveway. Lot No. 2 will also likely be served by one driveway. Due to the location at the western porltion of Gateway Center and the current development and traffic generated by these sites, and additional driveway at this location may not negatively impact traffic flow. This lot split is relatively insignificant individually but in light of current applications for Gateway Center, any project must be considered for cumulative impacts. Development,densities have been based on a ten year old EIR and therefore the external conditions of Gateway should be reassessed to determine the current development capacities.

The Sanitation Districts have no objection to the projects as proposed. The proposed developments are located within the jurisdictional boundaries of District No. 21. However, we offer the following comments: 1• All facilities in question either have adequate capacity to handle the expected flow, or will be expanded in the future to meet the community's needs. 2• The Sanitation Districts are empowered by the California Health and Safety Code to charge a fee for the privilege of connecting to the Sanitation Districts, Sewerage System. These connection fees are required to construct incremental expansions of the Sewerage System to accommodate the proposed projects which will mitigate the impact of these projects on the present Sewerage System. Payment of connection fees will be required before permits to connect to the sewer are issued. If you have any further questions, please contact the undersigned at (213) 699-7411, extension 2709.

APPLICANT: AR Investments 1135 S. Sunset St. West Covina, CA 91790 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission consider all the data, input, and elements of the Environmental Assessment, Conditional Use Permit and Development Review 90-0070 and issue a Mitigated Negative Declaration and grant the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and Development Review as submitted revised. I. PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: A. Requested Action This application has been designed to conform with the design guidelines and criteria established within the Gateway Corporate Center Design Guidelines. The.project has received the approval of the Gateway Corporate Center's Architectural Review Board and1participated in the First -Stop Review prior to final design and submission to the Planning Department. II. ANALYSIS: A. General The restaurant is to be located on a parcel approximately 2.5 acres in size. The restaurant is to be located on the eastern portion of the site with landscaping and open space primarily integrated on the western elevation. The lot coverage with pavement and structures, comprises 44 percent of the total site while landscaping and open space consume the remaining 55 percent of the site. With this configuration, the site cannot be subdivided into two lots under the current landscaping and lot coverage (50 per unit maximum) standards imposed by the Gateway Design Guidelines. The restaurant would contain 9065 sq. ft. of interior space and a maximum occupancy of 205 persons. The single story structure will offer a bar and lounge area of 1425 sq. ft. and a dining area (2340 sq. ft.) large enough to accommodate 156 guests. A mezzanine level (437 sq. ft.) is provided for guests to utilize in addition to the dining and lounge facilities. Access to this area is from the eastern portion of the restaurant by an exterior stair case. This mezzanine area is not proposed to provide seating and would be covered by a flame retardant tarp. B. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning Site - Zone C-M-BE-U/C; Commercial Manufacturing Zone, Billboard Exclusion, Unilateral Contract: Vacant, graded 2.5 acre lot. Community Plan Designation Commercial. NORTH: Golden Springs Avenue and Pomona Freeway/Orange Freeway Interchange. EAST: Zone C-M-BE-U/C; Developed with the Days Inn Hotel. SOUTH: Zone C-M-BE-U/C; Vacant 13 acre parcel currently applying for 12 lots subdivision under application NO. 90-0052. WEST: Zone C-M-BE-U/C; Vacant" parcel Community Plan Designation -Commercial Area. C. Site Characteristic: The site is approximately 2.5 acres in size. The pad has been graded to a size suitable for the construction of the restaurant on the southeasterly portion of the parcel. The northern portion of the parcel drops at a 2:1 ratio to Golden Springs Ave. and will be landscaped. The only trees currently on the site are pine trees that line the sidewalk along the Gateway Drive boundary. The project site contains one 10' wide sanitary sewer easement that dissects the parcel along its northeast to southwest course. Additionally, there is an Edison easement on the southern" property line and there are existing drainage aqueducts on the western portion of the parcel. D. Concerns Staff has reviewed the application via the First Stop review and subsequent revised design as currently presented. Issues and concerns identified are as follows: Compliance with development standards: Under the Gateway Design Guidelines, this project complies with the setback, lot coverage, height (approximately 80' from bottom of retaining wall to ri"dgeline), parking, landscaping, signage, and architectural design, features, and materials. III Traffic and internal circulation: A traffic report was not required as part of the application as this use is allowed as ,a matter of right per the Gateway Design Guidelines. Internal circulation was reviewed by the City Engineer and the sheriff and fire departments. The concerns identified addressed the 26 ft. wide unobstructed driveway access from Gateway Center Drive and the ability to have access to the structure at a distance no further than 28 ft. away. These concerns have been adequately met. Lighting: Lighting will be provided in the parking area as shown on the site plan. Additional lighting is to be provided along the access to the hotel and also around the perimeter of the mezzanine access. Signage: Staff is not in accord with the project's use of banners and flags (refer to sheet A-2) as proposed by the applicant. The flags and banners would be located above the roof line and in the rear of the restaurant on the wall facing Golden Springs Avenue. Parking: The parking provided exceeds the required number of spaces by one. If needed by the applicant in the future, spaces can be added on the western portion of the parcel which is currently landscaped and open space. Compatibilitv: The final EIR for Gateway Corporate Center identified one restaurant as a planned use within the development. With the exception of the dining facilities at Days Hotel, no other restaurants are located within the complex nor are any projects of this type currently under review by the Planning Department. FINDINGS OF FACT: In approving or conditionally approving a Development Review Application or Administrative Development Review Application, the City Council, the Planning Commission or Planning Director, as the case may be, shall make the following findings: A. The design and layout of the proposed development is consistent with the applicable elements of the City's general plan, design guidelines of the appropriate district, and any adopted architectural criteria for specialized area, such as designated historic districts, theme areas, specific plans, community plans, boulevards, or planned developments; B. The design and layout of the proposed development will not unreasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment. of neighboring existing or future developments, and will not create traffic or pedestrian hazards; 3 C. The architectural design of the proposed development is compatible with the character of the surrounding neighborhood and will maintain the harmonious, orderly and attractive development contemplated by this Chapter and the general plan of the City; D. The design of the proposed development would provide a desirable environment for its occupants and visiting public as well as its neighbors through good aesthetic use of materials, texture and color that will remain aesthetically appealing and will retain a reasonably adequate level of maintenance. E. The proposed development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity. CONCLUSION: 1. The application assumes that the mezzanine/patio area will not be used by the public for dining or bar service. Although, it is physically separated from other public areas, it is reasonable to expect that this area would be available for public use at some time in the future. Accordingly, the Commission may wish either to require the provision of additional parking (approximately 8 spaces) at the present time or specify that the mezzanine area shall not be open to the public unless the additional parking is provided. 2. The proposed improvements are located on the parcel in a manner which could allow a lot split at some time in the future, although the Gateway Corporate Center guidelines currently in effect would severely restrict additional development. Recognizing the possibility, however, the Commission may wish to condition approval of the restaurant on no further division of the parcel for the life of the restaurant. c:\WP50\atffplao\900070 CITY OF DIAMOND RAR DZPARTMENT OF PLANNING GvP APPLICATION The fallowing infarmaban is necessary for the rem" of ALL aooliexians.

Your attention should be drawn to a previous letter we sent regarding the Marriott Hotel Project. The plans for the restaurant in the Gateway Corporate Project show no unusual problem in serving both domestic and fire flow requirements. The developers in both cases will need only to contact the District at the time of their need for water service in order to begin any design or invoicing according to our fee schedules. Walnut Valley Water District requires the installation or reduced pressure principle backflow prevention devices downstream of any domestic water service, and the installation of above ground, epoxy lined, double detector check valve downstream of a fire line stub - out to a property. Under the check lislt for the Marriott Hotel we would contend that item #9A should be checked "yes" due to the large increase of water and power usage compared to the previous use.

Jess Senecal project has revealed no unusual problems in providing the project with water for either domestic or fire protection purposes. However, the developer should be made aware of the possible need to relocate a fire hydrant and metered service due to the proposed location of the driveway. Field measurements and a survey of the driveway location will be necessary to determine the actual costs involved in relocating these facilities.

VaYf6J�1 City Manager RLVN:pjs Enclosure cc: Finance For the intersection of Brea Canyon Road and Colima we recommend striping modification within existing 84' road. For southbound traffic a dual left -turn lane, two through lanes, and mandatory right -turn lane. Northbound traffic should be handled with one left -turn lane two through lane and one right -turn only lane. Eastbound and Westbound direction - three through lanes with left -turn lane_ At the intersection of Golden Springs Drive/Grand Avenue. Based on a recent analysis by this Department, we believe feasible improve- ments to this intersection would involve localized widening to provide three through lanes in each direction on Grand Avenue, two through lanes in each direction on Golden Springs Drive, dual left -turn lanes, and exclusive right -turn lane on each approach, and bike lanes on Golden Springs Drive. At the intersection of Golden Springs Drive/Diamond Bar Boulevard, we generally agree that the cumulative traffic impacts could be mitigated by constructing dual left -turn lanes on both the north and south approaches from Golden Springs Drive to Diamond Bar Boulevard and an exclusive right -turn lane from westbound Diamond Bar Boulevard to northbound Golden Springs Drive. We recommend that the developer contribute a pro rata share of the cost for localized widening to construct the above recommended mitigation measures at the intersections of Brea Canyon Road/ Colima Road, Golden Springs Drive/Grand Avenue, and Golden Springs Drive/Diamond Bar Boulevard.

The site - has been landscaped with some street trees but contains no other significant flora or fauna. The site has had extensive grading and notable surface and subsurface construction (sidewalks, parkways and sewer structures). The site has direct access to Valley Vista Drive. ANALYSIS Gateway Corporate Center was approved by the County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors under a "Unilateral Contract" procedure in 1985. Under this procedure, the zone changed to Commercial - Manufacturing (CM) (which allows for unlimited height, a floor area ratio of 13 times the net buildable site area and a wide range of commercial and industrial uses) which were further restricted through CC & Rs which were recorded with the zone change. The CC & Rs incorporate design guidelines by reference, which establish height limits (from 9 stories) and narrow the range of uses. (There have been subsequent changes in the CC & Rs and the design guidelines). Additionally built into the unilateral contract, is the provision that any revision of the CC & Rs is to be approved by the governing authority, now the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar. The City Council assumed this role from the Board of Supervisors upon incorporation and in October 1989, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 89 -104 -ratifying and reconfirming design guidelines for Gateway Center. The guidelines are more restrictive than the Commercial - Manufacturing Zone standards, therefore these guidelines regulate development within the center. In addition, all development in the center must be in accordance with all applicable state and local laws such as CEQA, and local codes. The subdivision of this project is not accompanied by a development project. The lot split will create two lots. Lot No. 1 will be 3.77 acres and lot No. 2 will be .77 acres. Currently lot No. 1 is developed with an office building and is served by one driveway. Lot No. 2 will also likely be served by one driveway. Due to the location at the western portion of Gateway Center and the current development and traffic generated by these sites, and additional driveway at this location may not negatively impact traffic flow. This lot split is relatively insignificant individually but in light of current applications for Gateway Center, any project must be considered for cumulative impacts. Development,densities have been based on a ten year old EIR and therefore the external conditions of Gateway should be reassessed to determine the current development capacities.

Water service has already been provided for the overall lot and.separate service will have to be applied for when development occurs. Water service from one lot to another is specifically forbidden in our Rules and Regulations. Available water pressure at this lot is relatively low (compared to District average pressures) at 56 P.S.I.

APPLICANT: AR Investments 1135 S. Sunset St. West Covina, CA 91790 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission consider all the data, input, and elements of the Environmental Assessment, Conditional Use Permit and Development Review 90-0070 and issue a Mitigated Negative Declaration and grant the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and Development Review as submitted revised. I. PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: A. Requested Action This application has been designed to conform with the design guidelines and criteria established within the Gateway Corporate Center Design Guidelines. The.project has received the approval of the Gateway Corporate Center's Architectural Review Board and1participated in the First -Stop Review prior to final design and submission to the Planning Department. II. ANALYSIS: A. General The restaurant is to be located on a parcel approximately 2.5 acres in size. The restaurant is to be located on the eastern portion of the site with landscaping and open space primarily integrated on the western elevation. The lot coverage with pavement and structures, comprises 44 percent of the total site while landscaping and open space consume the remaining 55 percent of the site. with this configuration, the site cannot be subdivided into two lots under the current landscaping and lot coverage (50 per unit maximum) standards imposed by the Gateway Design Guidelines. The restaurant would contain 9065 sq. ft. of interior space and a maximum occupancy of 205 persons. The single story structure will offer a bar and lounge area of 1425 sq. ft. and a dining area (2340 sq. ft.) large enough to accommodate 156 guests. A mezzanine level (437 sq, ft.) is provided for guests to utilize in addition to the dining and lounge facilities. Access to this area is from the eastern portion of the restaurant by an exterior stair case. This mezzanine area is not proposed to provide seating and would be covered by a flame retardant tarp. B. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning Site - Zone C-M-BE-U/C; Commercial Manufacturing Zone, Billboard Exclusion, Unilateral Contract: Vacant, graded 2.5 acre lot. Community Plan Designation_ Commercial. NORTH: Golden Springs Avenue and Pomona Freeway/Orange Freeway Interchange. EAST: Zone C-M-BE-U/C; Developed with the Days Inn Hotel. SOUTH: Zone C-M-BE-U/C; Vacant 13 acre parcel currently applying for 12 lots subdivision under application NO. 90-0052. WEST: Zone C-M-BE-U/C; Vacant parcel Community Plan Designation -Commercial Area. C. Site Characteristic: The site is approximately 2.5 acres in size. The pad has been graded to a size suitable for the construction of the restaurant on the southeasterly portion of the parcel. The northern portion of the parcel drops at a 2:1 ratio to Golden Springs Ave. and will be landscaped. The only trees currently on the site are pine trees that line the sidewalk along the Gateway Drive boundary. The project site contains one 10' wide sanitary sewer easement that dissects the parcel along its northeast to southwest course. Additionally, there is an Edison easement on the southern property line and there are existing drainage aqueducts on the western portion of the parcel. D. Concerns Staff has reviewed the application via the First Stop review and subsequent revised design as currently presented. Issues and concerns identified are as follows: Compliance with development standards: Under the Gat ewav Design Guidelines, this project complies with the setback, lot coverage, height (approximately 80' from bottom of retaining wall to ridgeline), parking, landscaping, signage, and architectural design, features, and materials. Traffic and internal circulation: A traffic report was not required as part of the application as this use is allowed as ,a matter of right per the Gateway Design Guidelines. Internal circulation was reviewed by the City Engineer and the sheriff and fire departments. The concerns identified addressed the 26 ft. wide unobstructed driveway access from Gateway Center Drive and the ability to have access to the structure at a distance no further than 28 ft. away. These concerns have been adequately met. Lighting: Lighting will be provided in the parking area as shown on the site plan. Additional lighting is to be provided along the access to the hotel and also around the perimeter of the mezzanine access. Signage: Staff is not in accord with the project's use of banners and flags (refer to sheet A-2) as proposed by the applicant. The flags and banners would be located above the roof line and in the rear of the restaurant on the wall facing Golden Springs Avenue. Parking: The parking provided exceeds the required number of spaces by one. If needed by the applicant in the future, spaces can be added on the western portion of the parcel which is currently landscaped and open space. Compatibility: The final EIR for Gateway Corporate Center identified one restaurant as a planned use within the development. With the exception of the dining facilities at Days Hotel, no other restaurants are located within the complex nor are any projects of this type currently under review by the Planning Department. III. FINDINGS OF FACT: In approving or conditionally approving a Development Review Application or Administrative Development Review Application, the City Council, the Planning Commission or Planning Director, as the case may be, shall make the following findings: A. The design and layout of the proposed development is consistent with the applicable elements of the City's general plan, design guidelines of the appropriate district, and any adopted architectural criteria for specialized area, such as designated historic districts, theme areas, specific plans, community plans, boulevards, or planned developments; B. The design and layout of the proposed development will not unreasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment. of neighboring existing or future developments, and will not create traffic or pedestrian hazards; 3 C. The architectural design of the proposed development is compatible with the character of the surrounding neighborhood and will maintain the harmonious, orderly and attractive development contemplated by this Chapter and the general plan of the City; D. The design of the proposed development would provide a desirable environment for its occupants and visiting public as well as its neighbors through good aesthetic use of materials, texture and color that will remain aesthetically appealing and will retain a reasonably adequate level of maintenance. E. The proposed development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity. CONCLUSION: 1. The application assumes that the mezzanine/patio area will not be used by the public for dining or bar service. Although, it is phvsically separated from other public areas, it is reasonable to expect that this area would be available for public use at some time in the future. Accordingly, the Commission may wish either to require the provision of additional parking (approximately 8 spaces) at the present time or specify that the mezzanine area shall not be open to the public unless the additional parking is provided. 2. The proposed improvements are located on the parcel in a manner which could allow a lot split at some time in the future, although the Gateway Corporate Center guidelines currently in effect would severely restrict additional development. Recognizing the possibility, however, the Commission may wish to condition approval of the restaurant on no further division of the parcel for the life of the restaurant. c:\VP50\:tffplaa\9 007@ CITY OF DIA`SOND zcA,2 DEPAaTX.ENT OF PLANNING G �P APPLICATION The (allawinq infarmanon is necessary for the review of ALL aoahcaLo^s.

LEGAL COUNSEL: a previous letter we sent regarding the Marriott Hotel R. Jess Project. The plans for the restaurant in the Gateway Corporate Project show no unusual problem in serving both domestic and fire flow requirements. The developers in both cases will need only to contact the District at the time of their need for water service in order to begin any design or invoicing according to our fee schedules. Walnut Valley Water District requires the installation or reduced pressure principle backflow prevention devices downstream of any domestic water service, and the installation of above ground, epoxy lined, double detector check valve downstream of a fire line stub - out to a property. Under the check lislt for the Marriott Hotel we would contend that item #9A should be checked "yes" due to the large increase of water and power usage compared to the previous use.

Jess Sanecal project has revealed no unusual problems in providing the project with water for either domestic or fire protection purposes. However, the developer should be made aware of the possible need to relocate a fire hydrant and metered service due to the proposed location of the driveway. Field measurements and a survey of the driveway location will be necessary to determine the actual costs involved in relocating these facilities. The developer should also contact the District to get information on the backflow prevention devices required for the site. If you have any questions please give me a call.

This application is for the conversion of an atrium into seating area large enough to accommodate 22 additional seats. APPLICANT: Jojo's Restaurants, Inc. 2701 Alton Avenue Irvine, California RECOMMENDATION• Staff recommends that the Planning Commission consider all the data, input, and elements of the Environmental Assessment and Conditional Use Permit 90-0071 and issue the Negative Declaration and grant the Conditional Use Permit. ANALYSIS• Commercial construction and additions are subject to review and approval of the Planning Commission, thereby providing the City the opportunity to impose special conditions to assure that the project will be integrated with the uses in the surrounding area. The subject site is located in a commercial zone and is currently developed as an approximately 5000 square feet restaurant. The proposed addition will allow for a 17 percent increase in the seating provided while adding 226 interior square feet to the existing structure. As a part of the existing Conditional Use Permit for the site, parking provided exceeded the required number of spaces. The additional seating requested will not however exceed the current supply of parking. The subject site will continue to exceed current parking requirements by two spaces (57 parking spaces provided). I. SITE The. restaurant is located on a right triangular shaped lot. The restaurant site itself is 38,455 square feet in size with a pad footprint of 5,176 square feet. The remaining 33,279 square feet is comprised of landscaping and parking area. Adjacent land uses include a fast food restaurant (Jack in the Box) and retail commercial enterprises located to the east and west, respectively. A major highway, Colima Road, separates the restaurant from a condominium complex to the south and the SR 60 freeway borders the site to the north. Two points of ingress and egress serve the site from Colima Road along a 343 feet of frontage. II. General The application is a request to amend an existing permit issued by Los Angeles County. That permit was approved the current land uses presently operating on site. All provisions of the current CUP have been met and the current application is not seen by staff as a departure from the intent of the current permit. This requested alteration is the conversion of an existing portion of the structure from non -occupant to occupant accessible area. Because of the current excess of parking, this small addition will not create a parking demand that would exceed parking availability. Traffic generated by this addition is not thought by staff to be significant. Current conditions appear to be acceptable at the present time and the 226 square foot addition will not generate enough additional traffic to deteriorate present levels of service. This addition will not adversely affect the compatibility of this use with existing land uses. The addition does not alter the character of the site nor does it significantly increase the intensity of site utilization. Also, the addition will be architecturally consistent with existing materials and will not detract in any manner from the existing continuity between this site and surrounding sites. III. FACTS OF FINDINGS' 1. That the requested use at the location proposed will not: a. Adversely affect the health, peace, comfort or welfare of persons residing or working in the surrounding area, or b. Be materially detrimental to the use, enjoyment or valuation of property of other persons located in the vicinity of the site, or C. Jeopardize, endanger or otherwise constitute a menace to public health, safety or general welfare; and 2. That the proposed site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards, walls fences parking and loading facilities, landscaping and other development features prescribed in this title, or as is otherwise required in order to integrate said use with the uses in the surrounding area; and 3. That the proposed site is adequately served: a. By highways or streets of sufficient width and improved as necessary to carry the kind and quantity of traffic such use would generate, and b. By other public or private service facilities as are required. IV. CORRESPONDENCE This item has been advertised in the San Gabriel Tribune and Progress Bulletin newspapers as a public hearing. Notices have been sent to property owners within a 500 foot radius of project site. File No. 90-0071 NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING The City Planning Commission will conduct A request for a Conditional Use Permit to install additional seating and enclos an open patio adjacent to thened CPD s Restaurant, prp Y is (Commercial Planned'Development), located at 20955 Colima Road.

Ownership Map RE -ISSUED TO SEPTEMBER 10, 1990 MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission FROM: Irwin Kaplan, Interim City Planner SUBJECT: TENTATIVE TRACT 47722 DATE: August 27, 1990 ISSUE The proposed project consists of a 16 unit, 19.08 acre single family hillside subdivision, located within "The Country", westerly of Derringer Lane and northerly of Ridge Line Road. The project is designated as "non -urban" in the county -adopted Community. Plan, which requires a site of one acre or more per unit. Zoning for the site is R-1-10,000 requiring a minimum of 10,000 square feet per dwelling unit, it should be pointed out that the applicant repeatedly refers to the site as being zoned as R-1-8000. The project will be served with water and sewers. The irregularly shaped property contains slopes in excess of 25% and is therefore subject td a conditional use permit for Hillside Management. The project was initiated with Los Angeles County, prior to Diamond Bar incorporation. An EIR was provided and a draft is being submitted for review together with the project application, although the Commission will be hearing the draft EIR and the CUP concurrently, action on the EIR must precede action on the project itself. A. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS 1. Total grading on the site is estimated at 204,000 cubic yards of material which is to be balanced on site in fills up to 95 feet in height and 80 feet in depth. 80,000 cubic yards included in this total is identified as remedial work to stabilize slopes. Although the EIR and the preliminary soils and geologic investigation indicated that grading plans have been prepared, no plans have been submitted and we were advised in a phone call to the engineer that none had been prepared. (A preliminary grading plan is not provided by code, but may be provided by the Planning Director.) 2. The proposed road for the project would enter from Derringer Lane (which is a private road) , in the vicinity of an existing Edison Gas Company line and easement which traverse the property. The site plan indicates slopes of 15% on the road, although no road profiles are available. Also, it is not possible to determine horizontal and vertical sight distances along the roadway relative to individual driveways. The main stem of the road is a cul-de-sac approximately 16,20 feet in length. 3. Although it is not clear from the plan, nor is it explained in the project description, it appears that up to six parcels will. have access from a driveway with a pavement width which varies from 16' to 201. The parcels with driveway access have the required frontage on the main road, but the driveway access appears necessary because of grade differences between the road and the E building pad. It is assumed that non of the roadways, are to be dedicated to the City. 4. Crib walls are proposed in various locations to retain the slopes. Since no grading' plan or sections are available, the height of these walls can only be estimated. They appear to be at their highest behind the properties along Coyote Springs, with a height in excess of 35 feet behind Lot 65 and in excess of 20 feet behind Lots 82 and 83 on Fire Hollow Road. 5. It is proposed to relocate an existing 30" gas line which traverses the property. (One of the apparent functions of the driveways described above is to maintain an access easement for the Gas Company.) In order to maintain a constant depth below grade, it appears that it will be necessary to build up certain areas where the gas line leaves the proposed street. Although it is difficult to determine exactly where this occurs without the grading plan, it appears that it may be as high as 40 feet above a building pad within 120 feet of the relocated gas lines. (It should also be pointed out that the preliminary soils report states that "a 30 inch highipressure gas line will remain in place during the grading operation and will be relocated after grading". The.EIR indicates that the existing gas line will be backfilled and remain in place. Presumably, this is because the gas line is to remain active during grading to minimize disruptions. Since the existing line will be below the new line in many locations, removal may be impractical. It isnot clear, however, if the soils report and the EIR concur on this issue.) 6. The property contains an intermittent blueline stream. Blueline streams are state identified and registered stream beds with intermittent and year round water flow. The streams have been identified as significant because of their contribution to the ecosystem which they traverse. These contributions can range from providing a habitat for fresh water fish, to providing a seasonal water supply for animals, to handling surface run-off during the rainy season. To disrupt a blueline stream, permits must be obtained from the Army Corp of Engineers and/or from the Department of Fish and Game. The impacts of stream disruption can include upstream and downstream disturbances. These impacts may include, but are not limited to, depletion of water resources for plant and animal life, as well as creating runoff problems because of alterations to the natural water courses. The EIR Document does not identify what impacts, if any, will result from the alteration of the bluel'ine stream on site. The benefits the stream provides to the immediate and surrounding environment is not addressed either. Because this project is located within a mile and a half from an SEA location, these, omissions impede an assessment of the potential impacts that may be associated with the alteration. 7. The code requires that property with slopes in excess of 25% fall under the Hillside Management Regulations (which, of course, this property does)., The EIR states (p.35) that approximately 2.58 acres exceed 50% slope, with the remaining 16.5 acres between 0-50% slope, without identifying the extent of property between 25-50% slope, it. is difficult to understand the magnitude of the Hillside issue (as'required under Sec 22.56.215). Such a map has not been filed with the Planning Department. 8. Although .the EIR indicates that the 204,000 cubic yards of grading is to be balanced on site, it is not clear if earth moving activities will have any effect off-site, and if any vehicles will be used to haul dirt to and from the site. 9. Although the EIR states (p.69) that "the finished project area will be a prominent feature when viewed from afar" and refers to the contour model, there is no visual analysis which identifies the impacts as might be seen from afar, or the adjoining properties. On p. 105, the EIR concludes that: "...more expanses of well landscaped hillside area which will be a visual boom both to the occupants and those viewing the area from afar." There is no evidence in the EIR which supports this conclusion. 10. The EIR states in several places that "landscaping will be water -efficient plants, wherever possible." (p. 14, 17 and others) This does not adequately define the mitigation measure, particularly with the concluding phrase, "wherever possible". A landscape program should be defined. 11. The mitigation measure which limits the use of heavy grading equipment between the hours of 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. does not indicate whether such activity can take place on the weekends. 12. Although the Fire Department is shown on the list of those contacted in the preparation of the EIR, there appears to be no response. This is particularly important since the project is located in Fire Zone 4 and is characterized by a cul-de-sac with steep road grades and narrow driveways serving individual building pads. 13. The EIR indicates that no prehistoric resources are in evidence as a result of ground surface examination of the area. It is not clear if the project site itself was examined. (p. 67) As a corroborating piece of information, a map of known prehistoric sites in the Diamond Bar area would help determine if additional survey were necessary. 14. The EIR concludes (p. 48) that "No active or potentially' active faults pass through the site." It may be more appropriate to state that, "No known' faults pass through the site. 15. The EIR uses as its yardstick for cumulative impacts, the SCAG definition (p. 96) of "potentially significant on a regional basis", which uses a threshold of 500 units. This would not appear to be an appropriate threshold for a city the size of Diamond Bar. The EIR also does not address other parcel maps which are currently in process withinithe City of Diamond Bar which should be considered in an assessment of cumulative impacts. 16. In the "No Project" alternative, the EIR states (p. 102) that "existing soil instabilities would remain, posing various degrees of landslide potential..." This appears to be at variance with the preliminary soils report, which states (p. 5) that "The slides are all considered to be ancient with no apparent movement in historic time." 17. In the "No Project" alternative, the EIR states (p. 102) that "recreational use of the site in the form of improved hiking and equestrian trails would not occur and the site would remain largely inaccessible for public enjoyment." The site plan indicates the existence of a recorded easement for "recreational trails, ingress, egress, access, roadway purposes... As such, the existence of such facilities is assured and, if improvements are needed, they would not seem to be dependent upon the existence of the project as proposed. 18. Under the "No Project" alternative, the EIR states (p. 102) that the City would suffer an economic loss which "could easily be significant." The estimates deal only with revenues attributable to the project, but not expenses associated with it. As such, the assessment is not evenhanded. 19. The EIR includes a category entitled, "Special Designation - Los Angeles County" which appears to be distinct and separate from Hillside Management and oak Tree removal. It is not evident what code sections or issues are being assessed. 20. In its conclusion as Ito unavoidable impacts (p.10) the EIR lists impacts considered unavoidable, but not necessarily significant or adverse. The determination of whether or not impacts are significant and adverse is an issue for Commission consideration. If the Commission determines that there will be significant adverse impacts, then it must determine that the benefits of the project to the community outweigh the adverse impacts and recommend to Council that a Statement of Overriding Considerations be made by the City Council before approving the plan. In listing unavoidable impacts, the EIR makes no mention of a variety of impacts, among which are: A. Alteration of the blueline stream B. The grading, cut and fill C. The steepness of the road D. The access to properties via driveways E. The impact of the crib walls on adjacent properties F. The effect of the diversion of natural drainage areas upon water recharge G. The effect of the proposed design on the provision on fire services H. Impacts during construction 21. Finally, the EIR does not address the mitigation monitoring requirements mandated by law under AB 3180, which became effective in 1989. A mitigation monitoring program should accomplish the following: 1) Identify mitigation measures in enough detail so that progress can be monitored. 2) Identify whose responsibility it will be to monitor each mitigation measure. 3) Indicate when (or how often) the mitigation measure should be monitored. 4) Identify the form of the monitoring report and the individual or agency to whom it should be submitted. B. CONFORMANCE TO COMMUNITY PLAN The following are excerpts from the Community Plan,.which was adopted by the County in 1983. 1. Maintain the rural setting of the community through the retention and maintenance of extensive amounts of natural open space and hillside vegetation. 2. Minimize alteration of the natural terrain. 7a. Minimize alteration of natural hillsides, drainage courses, and vegetation. In particular, preserve significant tree clusters, especially sycamore, alder, eucalyptus, pepper, pine, walnut, and oak trees. 7b. Preserve major r'idgeline form in the existing state. 7c. Minimize adverse visual impacts. on neighboring residential uses. 7d. Maintain the existing or natural topographic transition between developments. High banks shall not be created adjacent to existing developments. 7f. Minimize grading of site and maximize retention of natural topography as follows: 7g. Protect the visual quality of highly scenic areas. CONCLUSION since the application is for a conditional use permit, the Commission.may impose appropriate conditions, or the.Commission may deny the project if it feels that the proposal is not in conformance with the Community Plan, or fundamentally too intense for the site, or inadequately mitigates the impacts of development, or is inappropriate for its surroundings, or results in an inferior site plan, etc. As presented, the project application and EIR lack important information which would.be needed to determine the adequacy of the EIR and to provide a basis for conditions of approval. The Commission may continue the matter until the lacking information is provided. By requesting additional information, however, the Commission is implying that the project will be acceptable if certain issues are clarified. This is a reasonable course of action if, in fact, the Commission believes that the project falls within the overall framework of the community's development objectives. Once the additional information has been gathered, the Commission will still be confronted with a policy decision as to whether or not the project will help carry out the developmental and environmental objectives Diamond Bar envisions for itself. Unless past trends aro also to become Diamond Bar's destiny, the question of what Diamond Bar envisions for itself has not yet been fully answered, although certain policies are contained in the adopted Community Plan. Presumably, that is the function of the General Plan process which is underway. The policies of the General Plan would be implemented through the development code which is also currently in preparation. (A preliminary draft of the General Plan should be available for discussion within a month: the draft of the development code, which would contain the City's zoning and subdivision regulations, should be ready shortly thereafter.) The significance of the issues raised by this project is underscored by the fact that there are a series of similar projects that will be before the City in the near future and unless the development policies of the past (which are still rooted in the County's development philosophy) are either challenged or reaffirmed, there seems to be little basis to do very much more than impose a few conditions and approve future projects in one form or another. Again, this is a perfectly acceptable policy, if it is the City's conscious choice. What is particularly significant about this project, is that it may be viewed as a turning point in Diamond Bar's. history. Under Economic Consideration, the EIR states, very accurately, that "Limiting the density of this project to that proposed requires the construction of what will necessarily be very expensive and luxurious custom homes which are far better suited to a hillside development than are more modest residences. Only with the development of this calibre is it feasible to make a low density investment in the design work, extensive grading and other improvements required for such challenging terrain." Further, in Section 4.5 Project Impacts, the EIR states that "...the sales prices are estimated to begin at about 1.8 million dollars per house, and go up from there." What the EIR has correctly observed is that the success of Diamond Bar as a, desirable place to live is.creating.a market with the financial capacity to overcome costly site preparation problems. In other words, if the trend continues, there will be no such thing as an undevelopable site, since engineering solutions are available at a price for virtually any problem. This is precisely why it is policy and not feasibility, which is needed to dictate the form development should take.

Are trees to be relocated? NO If yes, identify who will move them and his qualifications for doing this. BURDEN OF PROOF Submit additional sheets describing how the following findings will be satisfied. A. That the proposed construction or proposed use will be accomplished without endangering the heait' of the remaining trees subject to this Part 16, if any, on the subject property, and B. That the removal or relocation of the oak tree(s) proposed will not result in soil erosion through the diversion or increased flow of surface waters which cannot be satisfactorily mitigated, and C. That in addition to the above facts at least one of the following findings apply: That the removal or relocation of the oak tree(s) proposed is necessary as continued exis- tence at present location(s) frustrates the planned improvement or proposed use of the subject property to such an extent that: a. Alternative development plans cannot achieve the same permitted density or that the cost of such alternative would be prohibitive, or b. Placement of such tree(s) precludes the reasonable and efficient use of such property for a use otherwise authorized, or 2.• That the oak tree(s) proposed for removal or relocation interfere with utility services or streets and highways either within or outside of the subject property and no reasonable alternative to such interference exists other than removal of the tree(s), or 3. ' That the condition of the oak tree(s) proposed for removal with reference to seriously debilitating disease or danger of foiling In tush that it cannot be remedied through reason- able preservation procedures and practices. fire, flood, mud flow or erosion hazard; Tentative Tract 47722 incorporates features which are intended to eliminate geologic hazards found on the site. Grading will be done in accordance with current County Standards and Codes. Potential slide areas and adverse bedding planes have been located by the geologist and examined by the soils engineer. It is planned to remove the unstable material in these areas and to then replace and compact the material to the ultimate grade shown on the Tentative Map. Deposits of alluvium and colluvium will be removed and recompacted as directed by the soils engineer. Major fill slopes around the periphery of the site are to be installed at slope ratios of 2:1 and some interior fill slopes will be at 1 1/2:1 slope. All slopes are to be constructed in accordance with adequate stability requirements of both the Soils Consultant and the County Soils Department. Gunite swales will control onsite drainage and deliver it to existing drainage sys- tems already constructed in the existing subdivisions abutting this site. A water supply system with fire hydrants will provide the main fire protection system. 2. That the proposed project is compatible with the natural, biotic, cultural, scenic, and open space resources of the area; The proposed project as described above will undergo corrective remedial geologic grading along with the grading required to shape the streets and lots. Most of the grassy, wild oat and weed growth areas will be graded. However, the proposed new slope areas will be landscaped with a variety of plantings, from ground cover plants to bushes, shrubs and trees. These slopes will have irrigation systems which will be maintained by a Homeowner's Association and thus insure future scenic green areas. These open space areas will be about 12 acres after the site is graded. The lots themselves will be developed with custom homes of about 4,000 s.f. or more in size and each home will add additional landscaping which will enhance biotic compatibility and the visual aesthetics of the area. Ten oak trees will be removed from the southwest portion of the site and we propose to replace these trees with two 15 -gallon trees for each tree removed. They will be planted in the approximate locations they occupied prior to grading. Also, buffer trees will be planted at the base of the slope at the northeast corner of the site to protect and screen existing homeowners adjacent to the site from visual scrutiny by the new owners of Lot 13. 3. That the proposed project is conveniently served by (or provides) neighborhood .shopping and commercial facilities, can be provided with essential public services without imposing undue costs on the total community, and is consistent with the objectives and policies of the General Plan; Commercial Business is within 1.5 miles of the site and is adequate for providing essential public services. The project is consistent with the Diamond Bar Community General Plan which shows the property in the nonurban area which specifies 1.0 units per acre or less. The underlying zoning for the site is R-1-8,000. The proposed plan yields 16 lots which will have an overall average lot area of 1.188 acres or 0.84 DU/Acre. The lots will vary in size, and the smallest will be lot 6 with 0.55 acres. 4. That the proposed development demonstrates creative and imaginative design resulting in a visual quality that will complement community character and benefit current and future community residents. Curvilinear street design, terraced lot pads, landscaping and large custom homes, will make the project compatible with the surrounding community and county developments. The developer's reputation regarding the construction of large beautiful homes in the area of Diamond Bar is well known by residents of The Country. lUIIU1iXUNHL ush PERMIT CASE -BURDEN OF PROOF SEC. 22.56.040 In addition to the information required in the application, the applicant shall substantiate to the satisfaction of the Zoning Board and/or Commission, the following facts: A. That the requested use at the location proposed will not: 1. Adversely affect the health, peace, comfort or welfare of persons residing or working in the surrounding area, or 2. Be materially detrimental to the use, enjoyment or valuation of property of other persons located in the vicinity of the site, or 3. Jeopardize, endanger or otherwise constitute a menace to the public health, safety or general welfare. Because: The proposed development will, after its construction,remove existing potential fire hazards which, every summer, threaten adjacent homeowners, and replace this wild weed growth with maintained green aesthetically pleasing fire -safe slopes and beautiful homes. Because of the housing proposed, the project will enhance valuations of adjacent properties. The low density proposed will not endanger or constitute a menace to public health. It should be noted that buffer areas of natural slopes and slopes manufactured by older tracts now are heavily vegetated and in some areas even contain stands of pine trees and large shrubs. After development,these buffers will continue to exist around all sides of the subdivision, and also elevation differential of up to 120 feet will separate homes in this subdivision from existing homes below. B. That the proposed site is adequate in size and shape to accomodate the yards, wall, fences, parking and loading facilities, landscaping and other development features prescribed in this Title 22, or as is otherwise required in order to integrate said use with the uses in the surrounding area. The lots in the proposed subdivision will range in size from 0'.42 acres to 2.51 acres, and pad areas will vary from 8,200 square feet to 15,200 square feet in size. The concept of large pads will accomodate the yards, walls, fences, parking landscaping features prescribed in this Title 22. C. That the proposed site is adequately served: 1. By highways or streets of sufficient width and improved as necessary to carry the kind and quantity of traffic such use would generate, and 2. By other public or private service facilities as are required The proposed subdivision is served by Derringer Lane which is a private road and a collector type road. The site itself can only be accessed through the two Diamond Bar Country gates located on Grand Avenue and on Diamond Bar Boulevard. STAFF USE ONLY Map/Case Date: WINLEDNff !

Therefore, those trees given a rating of excellent were the largest, oldest, and best shaped -healthy trees. The rating ---system continues through a good state where the trees would be on the average - smaller, younger, less shapely, and exhibit more deadwood than the excellent trees. Finally a rating of poor would be given to a tree that was dying, diseased, or whose shape was destroyed by fire or other disaster. ( Note: none of the trees on this site received a rating of poor.) I PAGE 2 CRAIG WEBER & ASSOCIATES LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS OAK TREE SURA HEALTH In general, the oak trees existing on this site are in good health. There are, however, a few cases of oak galls, leaf scorch, crown whitefly, and -oak moth. The oak gall that has been noted on some oaks does not constitute a serious problem, and is considered a relatively harmless activity of the gallwas_. The leaf scorch that the trees have exhibited is a common occurrence and is expected during successive and frequent drought periods. The quantity and frequency of the whitefly, and oak moth infestations indicate that they are in a symbiotic relationship with the host tree. Therefore, it is our opinion that none of these pests are endangering the lives of these trees. However, the leaf scorch, crown whitefly, and oak moth can become a more pronounced problem and possibl} endanger the lives of the trees if certain precautions are riot taken. If soil compaction, soil erosion, or major grading operations are carried out within or immediately around the drip - lines of these trees, they may become weakened and eventually die. It is our proposal to suggest fencing around the drip - lines of all trees that are to be retained within the site. This will protect the trees from certain construction practices. we also suggest that to ensure the future existence of these trees and their surrounding plant community vegetation, that i.hey be protected as indicated units of an ecosystem - above and beyond property line boundaries.

The Sanitation Districts have no objection to the project as proposed. The proposed development is located within the jurisdictional boundaries of District No. 21. All facilities in question either have adequate capacity to handle the expected flow, or will be expanded in the future to meet the community's needs. However, we offer the following comments: . 1. The expected average wastewater flow from the project site is 4,160 gallons per day. 2. Because of the project's location, the flow originating from the proposed project would have to be transported to the Districts' sewer by local sewer(s) which are not maintained by the Sanitation Districts. 3. Any wastewater generated by the proposed project would eventually discharge into the Fifth Avenue Trunk Sewer, which is an 18 -inch diameter sewer line located in Golden Springs Drive at Brea Canyon Road. This trunk sewer has a peak capacity of 2.5 million gallons per day (mgd) and conveye4 a peak flow of 1.0 mgd when last measured in 1988. 4. The wastewater will be treated at the San Jose Creek Water Reclamation Plan (WRP) and/or the Joint Water Pollution Control Plant (JWPCP). These facilities have been incorporated to form a regional treatment system. The San Jose Creek WRP is currently operating at capacity and processes an average flow of 65.3 mgd. The Districts are planning to expand the San Jose Creek WRP to a capacity of 100 mgd in 1992. The JWPCP has a design capacity of 385 mgd and currently processes an average flow of 382 mgd. 5. The Sanitation Districts are empowered by the California Health and Safety Code to charge a fee for the privilege of connecting to the Sanitation Districts' Sewerage System. This connection fee is required to construct an incremental expansion of the Sewerage System to accommodate the proposed project which will mitigate the impact of this project on the present Sewerage System. Payment of a connection fee will be required before a permit to connect to the sewer is issued.
