(909) 839-7030 ~ FAX (909) 861-3117 7.1 Packet Pg. 9 Development Review and Comprehensive Sign Program No. PL2018-51 Page 2 of 15 BACKGROUND: The subject property consists of a 1.3-acre parcel located on the westerly side of Diamond Bar Boulevard between Grand Avenue and Clear Creek Canyon Drive. The property was developed in 1986 under Los Angeles County standards with a 15,519 square-foot building that was previously occupied by Big Lots. The subject property shares reciprocal parking and access with neighboring commercial parcels and an Edison substation, collectively known as Diamond Bar Town Center. The property is legally described as Lot 3 of Parcel Map No. 16890. The Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) is 8717-031-009. Site and Surrounding General Plan, Zoning and Land Uses The image below highlights the subject property: 7.1 Packet Pg. 10 Development Review and Comprehensive Sign Program No. PL2018-51 Page 3 of 15 The following table summarizes the land use status of the subject property and its surroundings: General Plan Designation Zoning District Land Use Site General Commercial C-3 Vacant Building North High Density Residential RM Religious Place of Worship South General Commercial C-3 Fast Food Restaurant with Drive-Thru East General Commercial C-3 Commercial Shopping Center Consisting of Retail, Bank and Restaurant Uses West General Commercial & High Density Residential C-3 Southern California Edison Electrical Utility Facility & Commercial Shopping Center Consisting of Retail, Service and Restaurant Uses Project Description The applicant is proposing to partition the existing 15,519 square-foot building into six leasable spaces, update the exterior of the building, renovate the existing landsc aping, and establish design criteria for the signage of the renovated building. Site Plan No changes to the existing overall site layout are proposed. The applicant is proposing to reconfigure the parking and landscape planter areas on the south and eas t sides of the building to accommodate ADA accessible parking spaces and patio areas with tables and bicycle parking for patrons. There are 65 parking spaces on the project site, and the proposed site improvements will result in no net loss to the number of parking spaces provided. Since the applicant is proposing to partition the existing building and not add to the building, there is no change to the existing footprint of the building. A condition of approval is included to replace all parking lot lig hting with new LED lighting that conforms to the City’s CALGreen energy efficiency requirements. Per DBMC Section 22.16.050(b), lighting shall provide a minimum one footcandle of illumination at the ground throughout the parking area and walkways. All li ghting will be shielded to prevent light spill and specular glare. 7.1 Packet Pg. 11 Development Review and Comprehensive Sign Program No. PL2018-51 Page 4 of 15 Perspective of the Existing Building Facing South elevation 1139 S.

The applicant is proposing to partition the existing space into six tenant spaces consisting of the following: Unit Number Square-Footage of Unit Unit A 1,638 Unit B 1,603 Unit C 1,618 Unit D 1,618 Unit E 3,050 Unit F 3,735 Non-leasable/Future expansion area 1,606 Proposed Streetscape Plan 7.1 Packet Pg. 14 Development Review and Comprehensive Sign Program No. PL2018-51 Page 7 of 15 Architecture The existing building includes a mansard style roof with mission tiles, large wall expanses with a single material and color, and brick columns throughout the perimeter of the building. Proposed Floor Plan N 7.1 Packet Pg. 15 Development Review and Comprehensive Sign Program No. PL2018-51 Page 8 of 15 Existing East Side Elevation (Elevation Facing Diamond Bar Blvd.) Existing South (Front) Elevation (View from Parking Lot) 7.1 Packet Pg. 16 Development Review and Comprehensive Sign Program No. PL2018-51 Page 9 of 15 The applicant is proposing to update the architecture to a contemporary design that introduces a coordinated palette of finish materials, roof lines, and architectural projections. The reimagined exterior design incorporates the following elements: • Removing the mansard roof to expose the parapet and add cornice moldings at the top of the parapet. The proposed roofline will have varying heights to avoid monotony of the building design and reduce scale and bulk of the building. • Openings will be cut into the wall surfaces to create s torefronts for the new partitioned tenant spaces. • Columns along the south elevation and the corner units will be integrated into the architecture of the building by including the column as part of the building projections and matching the colors and mate rials of the building projection. The remaining columns will have stone veneer along the entire height of the columns. • Arches are proposed over the storefront of the southeast corner unit E. Columns will be smooth stucco in a cream color with a darker stucco band located eight feet above the ground and two-and-a-half feet of stone veneer at the base of the columns. • Rectilinear elements are proposed for the entrances of units C and D and corner unit F. The proposed columns will have stone veneer and the area above the entrances will be smooth stucco. • Shiplap siding is proposed along unit A, between units D and E, and through a portion of the east elevation. • Glass storefront doors and windows with transom windows above the entrances to each unit. Unit E will have larger transom windows underneath the arches. • Metal awnings/canopies above the entrances to units A and B and windows on the north and east elevations. • Metal railings, bicycle racks, and patio furniture are proposed at the front of the building. The applicant is proposing decorative wall sconces along the south and east elevations. Decorative wall-mounted security lighting is proposed along all of the elevations. 7.1 Packet Pg. 17 Development Review and Comprehensive Sign Program No. PL2018-51 Page 10 of 15 Landscape Plans Minimal landscaping currently exists on the site. Landscaping is used to provide buffer from the street and to provide shade for parked cars. The applicant proposes to replace landscaping in the existing planter areas with climate-appropriate trees, shrubs, and groundcover throughout the property. The existing landscaping in the planters along the west property line, adjacent to the Edison substation, will remain. The landscape plan proposes 18 new trees, primarily along the perimeter of the property. All proposed trees are 24-inch boxes and consist of Chilean mesquite and blue haven juniper. There are existing in-ground planters that run along the east side elevation and two proposed in-ground planters at the front (south side) of the building that will soften the bulk and break up the massing of the building. A variety of shrubs and groundcovers are included in the proposed planting plan. The proposed palette is comprised of climate-appropriate varieties, dwarf bottlebrush, Texas ranger, sterile fountain grass, bulbine and gold trailing lantana. All plant types will be drought tolerant and non-invasive species. The project is required to comply with the 7.1 Packet Pg. 18 Development Review and Comprehensive Sign Program No. PL2018-51 Page 11 of 15 City’s Water Efficient Landscaping Ordinance, which will be verified during building plan check and final inspections. There are two patio areas proposed at the front (south side) of the building that include metal railings, bicycle parking, and patio furniture. A condition of approval is included requiring decorative paving in the patio areas to provide more interest and enliven the front of the building, as well as promote pedestrian safety and minimize the negative impact of asphalt paving. Comprehensive Sign Program (DBMC Section 22.36.060) The Development Code requires a Comprehensive Sign Program (CSP) for multitenant developments of three or more separate tenants. The intent of a CSP “is to integrate a project's signs with the design of the structures to achieve a unified architectural statement. A comprehensive sign program provides a means for the flexible application of sign regulations for multitenant projects and other users of multiple signs in order to encourage creativity and provide incentive and latitude in the provision of multiple signs and to achieve, not circumvent, the intent of (the Sign Ordinance).” [DBMC 22.36.060(a)] The proposed CSP is included in Attachment B. Detailed conceptual designs for the wall signs are include in the attached plans and shown below. The criteria are tailored to ensure that the proposed signage is appropriate to the Project, taking into acc ount the square footages of the proposed tenant spaces. The applicant is proposing one wall sign for tenants that have one building frontage and two signs for tenants located at the corner units of the building, having parking lot and street frontages. An existing monument sign is located along Diamond Bar Boulevard, near the driveway approach. The applicant is proposing to keep the existing monument sign but refurbish it to match the architecture of the renovated building. The proposed sign criteria re quire that the proposed wall signs be reviewed as part of the design review of the building as to size, sign area, and their proportion to the building. The following is a detailed description of each proposed sign and the analysis of its placement and sign area: 7.1 Packet Pg. 19 Development Review and Comprehensive Sign Program No. PL2018-51 Page 12 of 15 All proposed wall signs are 30-inch dual lit channel letters with aluminum back panels. Proposed signage is designed to be illuminated using front and back halo LED lighting. Logo signs are proposed to be 42-inches tall and located on the north, south, and east elevations. All signage is proposed to be white acrylic with black trim and returns and metallic silver powder coat finished back panels. Corporate fonts, colors, and logos would be allowed with a nationally registered trademark. Since the existing monument sign is larger than typical sign standards, the applicant proposes to keep the existing sign but refurbish the sign to match the proposed wall signage.

Together, the analysis and findings provide the basis for staff’s recommendation that the Planning Commission approve the Project and all of its components, subject to the conditions set forth in the approval resolution. Development Review (DBMC Section 22.48) Projects involving a substantial change or intensification of land use requires Planning Commission approval of a Development Review application. Development Review approval is required to ensure compliance with the City’s General Plan policies, development standards and design guidelines, and to minimize adverse effects of the proposed project upon the surrounding properties and the City in general. Consistency with Citywide Design Guidelines The applicant has worked closely with staff to ensure that the project is consistent with Diamond Bar’s Citywide Design Guidelines. It is staff’s opinion that the project successfully captures the spirit and intent of the Design Guidelines. In addition to conforming to the minimum development standards prescribed for the C -3 zoning district, the project will significantly upgrade the aesthetics of the subject property by updating the building to a more contemporary and inviting new storefront. Additionally, the updated landscaping will provide shade for parked cars, reduce the visual impact of the parking lot, enhance the architecture, and break up the building mass. Notable elements of the project design which address the Citywide Design Guidelines include, among other things, the following: • The building design reflects community character while suggesting uniqueness and quality; • The architectural treatment of the building extends to all visible sides and parapet walls are treated as an integral part of the building design; • Windows, doors, and other architectural features are highlights and treated in decorative manner to break up flat surfaces that create monotony; • A transition between base and accent colors relate to changes in building materials or changes of building planes. Colors meet and change with a physical change or definition; 7.1 Packet Pg. 21 Development Review and Comprehensive Sign Program No. PL2018-51 Page 14 of 15 • Overhangs, trellises, projections, reveals, and awnings contribute t o the character of the building and create shadow patterns and shelter from the sun; • There is variation of scale, pattern and texture of the building and landscaping elements to encourage a more visually interesting project; and • Small gathering and eating areas create desirable focal points and a pedestrian focus which in turn creates a sense of a community gathering place with the commercial center. The overall composition of building forms, articulation and details is visually pleasing and harmonious. A varied palette of materials and details, including stacked stone, brick, smooth stucco and metal, and a coordinated earthtone color scheme will convey a sense of physical permanence. Staff believes that the architecture has an enduring character that should outlast short-lived design trends. Comprehensive Sign Program (DBMC Section 22.36.060) The proposed Comprehensive Sign Program (CSP) satisfies the purpose and intent of the Development Code by integrating the signage with the design of the build ing and having specific size, location, and design requirements for freestanding and building - mounted signs. The CSP enhances the overall development by providing size criteria for wall signs that are appropriate to the scale and setbacks of the building s, and are placed so that they respect and harmonize with the architectural elements onto which they will be mounted. All text, graphics and logos will be individually fabricated in accordance with the te nants’ branding specifications, and no generic letter styles or sign cabinets with interchangeable sign panels will be allowed. Additionally, the monument sign renovation will match the colors and materials of the wall signs to have consistent signage throughout the site.

RESOLUTION NOW, THEREFORE, it is found, determined and resolved by the Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar as follows: 1. The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct; and 2. The Planning Commission hereby determines the Project to be Categorically Exempt from the provisions of the California Environm ental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the provisions of Article 19, Section 15301(a) (interior and exterior alterations to existing facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines. Therefore, no further environmental review is required. C. FINDINGS OF FACT Based on the findings and conclusions set forth herein and as prescribed under Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Sections 22.48 and 22.36.060, this Planning Commission hereby finds as follows: Development Review Findings (DBMC Section 22.48.040) 1. The design and layout of the proposed development is consistent with the applicable elements of the City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines, and development standards of the applicable district, design guidelines, and architectural criteria for special areas (e.g., theme areas, specific plans, community plans, boulevards or planned developments). The design and layout of the proposed building partition into six units, exterior and landscaping renovation is consistent with the City’s General Plan, City Design Guidelines and Development Code standards. The mass and scale are proportionate to the existing building and surrounding properties. The project site is not part of any theme area, specific plan, community plan, boulevard or planned development. 2. The design and layout of the proposed development will not interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future development s, and will not create traffic or pedestrian hazards. The Proposed Project will not interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future developments because the use of the project site is designed for commercial use and the surrounding uses are also commercial uses. The Proposed Project will not interfere with vehicular or pedestrian movements, such as access or other functional requirements of a commercial building because it complies with the requirements for driveway widths and is a continuation of an existing use. 3. The architectural design of the proposed development is compatible with the character of the surrounding neighborhood and will maintain and enhance the 7.1.a Packet Pg. 25 3 PC Resolution No. 2019-XX harmonious, orderly and attractive development contemplated by Chapter 22.48: Development Review Standards, the City’s Design Guidelines, the City's General Plan, or any applicable specific plan. The Proposed Project is compatible with the character of the surrounding neighborhood in that it will maintain the existing building form and scale since no additional square-footage is proposed to the building. The project will significantly upgrade the aesthetics of the subject property by updating the building to a more contemporary and inviting new storefronts. The updated landscaping will provide shade for parked cars, reduce the visual impact of the parking lot, enhance the architecture, and break up the building mass. Additionally, the contemporary theme of the Proposed Project uses design elements, colors and materials that are consistent with the City’s Design Guidelines. 4. The design of the proposed development will provide a desirable environment for its occupants and visiting public as well as its neighbors through good aesthetic use of materials, texture, color, and will remain aesthetically appealing. The applicant is proposing to update the architecture to a contemporary design that includes a variety of finish materials, roof lines, and building projections throughout the elevations, but also creates continuity and visual consistency throughout the elevations. The overall composition of building form, use of materials and details are visually pleasing and harmonious. A varied palette of materials and details, including shiplap siding in rich espresso, smooth stucco and stone veneer in neutral/brown-toned colors. Two patio areas are proposed at the front of the building that include metal railings, bicycle parking, and patio furniture. Enhancing the landscaping throughout the Project site will further appeal to occupants, customers and passersby. 5. The proposed development will not be detrimental to public health, safety or welfare or materially injurious (e.g., negative effect on property values or resale(s) of property) to the properties or improvements in the vicinity. Before the issuance of any City permits, the proposed project is required to comply with all conditions within the approved resolution, and the Building and Safety Division and Public Works Departments requirements. Through the permit and inspection process, the referenced agencies will ensure that the proposed project is not detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity. 6. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as set forth under Article 19 Section 15301 (e) (additions to existing structures) of the CEQA guidelines. 7.1.a Packet Pg. 26 4 PC Resolution No. 2019-XX Comprehensive Sign Program Findings (DBMC Section 22.36.060) 7. The comprehensive sign program satisfies the purpose of this chapter and the intent of this section: The Comprehensive Sign Program (CSP) satisfies the purpose and intent of the Development Code by integrating the signage with the design of the building to achieve a unified architectural statement. Having a CSP provides a means for the flexible application of sign regulations for multitenant projects by having specific size, location, and design requirements for exterior on-premise signage. 8. The signs enhance the overall development, are in harmony with, and are visually related to other signs included in the comprehensive sign program and to the structure and/or uses they identify, and to surrounding development: The proposed Comprehensive Sign Program enhances the overall development by providing size criteria for wall signs that are appropriate to the scale and setbacks of the buildings, and are placed so that they respect and harmonize with the architectural elements onto which they will be mounted. All text, graphics and logos will be individually fabricated in accordance with the tenants’ branding specifications. No generic letter styles or sign cabinets with interchangeable sign panels shall be allowed. 9. The comprehensive sign program accommodates future revisions which may be required due to changes in uses or tenants: The Comprehensive Sign Program establishes uniform and unifying criteria to accommodate future tenant or branding changes, while maintainin g the standards of design quality. 10. The comprehensive sign program complies with the standards of this chapter, except that flexibility is allowed with regard to sign area, number, location, and/or height to the extent that the comprehensive sign program will enhance the overall development and will more fully accomplish the purposes of this chapter: The Comprehensive Sign Program complies with the standards of Development Code Chapter 22.36 and will enhance the overall Project site through consistency with the City’s Design Guidelines for commercial signage, uniformity and easy identification of the signs, and neighborhood compatibility.
