SUBJECT : Request for Extension of Tentative Tract Map No . 45678 and Conditional
Use Permit / Oak Tree Permit No . 87 - 373
BACRGROUND :
The applicant , Dr . Akbar Omar for A . R . Leasing Investment , Inc . has requested
an extension of time in order to comply with the conditions of #TM 45678 and
CUP / OT 87 - 373 . Dr . Omar ' s letter requesting an extension is dated February 26 ,
1990 , ( Exhibit " A " ) .
The property is located along the north side of Clear Creek Canyon Drive gener -
ally between Cleghorn Drive and Monument Canyon Drive .
The project consists of approximately two ( 2 ) acres which is proposed to be sub-
divided into ten ( 10 ) lots . Nine ( 9 ) lots are proposed for single family resi -
dential development . The remaining lot # 10 is proposed as open space . Lot Nos .
1 - 9 range in size from 5 , 815 square feet to 9 , 050 square feet .
The project received a conditional approval from Los Angeles County on March 22 , '
1988 . The tentative tract map , conditional use permit and oak tree permits ex-
pired on March 22 , 1990 .
The applicant responded to a variety of project conditions and presented the
" Final " tract map for approval by the City Council on February 20 , 1990 . The
Council denied final acceptance of the map due to the failure to meet all the
conditions of approval . i '
Again , the applicant ' s letter request for an extension of time is dated February
26 , 1990 .
DISCUSSION :
Section 66452 . 6 ( e ) of the California Government Code grants an automatic sixty
( 60 ) day extension of time on tract maps upon request . Therefore , the new expi -
ration date became May 21 , 1990 .
The City Engineer has prepared a memorandum , ( Exhibit " B " ) , dated August 22 ,
1990 , which outlines the city involvement with the project . The memorandum in-
dicates that there has been limited activity by the applicant to resolve the
outstanding issues since June , 1990 .
As of this date , the applicant has yet to comply with all conditions of the ori -
ginal approval .
Planning Commission
Agenda Item
October 22 , 1990
The City Attorney has recommended that this matter be scheduled before the Plan-
ning Commission . The developer will be available to discuss the matter and pre-
sent his reasons for the extension request . The Commission has the following
options :
1 . Approve the one ( 1 ) year extension request ; or
2 . Approve a six ( 6 ) month extension ; or
3 . Deny the request .
The applicant has the right to appeal a denial to the City Council .
It is staff ' s opinion that the extension request should not be granted . The
applicant has had sufficient time to meet the conditions of approval and has not
done so .
The applicant ' s final map was denied for failure to meet conditions . The appli -
cant then filed for an extension . A proceeding on the extension request did not
take place .
The map is now over 2 1 / 2 years old , and the applicant has not provided evidence
to staff to support an extension .
RECOMMENDATION •
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission deny the request for an extension
of TTM 45678 and CUP / OT No . 87 - 373 .

October 8 , 1990 Page 2
Dan Buffington , 2605 Indian Creek , asked if the item
under New Business ( Interim Development Control Ozdinance
Draft ) included the Hillside Development . The Commission
informed him it was included .
PBBLIC AEARING ITEMS :
Tentative Tract Chair / Schey asked for the staff report .
47722 and CUP / OT
89 - 338 : James DeStefano stated the project before the Commission
is an application by Piermarini Enterprises , Inc . to
subdivide a 19 acre site into 16 residential lots . He
e� lained a Conditional Use Permit is required for the
Hillside Management Review because the bulk of the site
exceeds a 25 % slope ratio , and an Oak Tree Permit is
required , because of the removal of approximately ten Oak
trees . He included the Environmental Impact Report £ or
the Commissions review . He stated , at the request of the
Planning Commission , new notices of the public hearing '
was mailed , to approximately 130 property owners of
record surrounding the proposed development site , on
October 4 , 1990 .
James DeStefano summarized the staff report to the
Commission :
1 . Lot 5ize - The zoning for the project is R- 1 - 10 , 000
and the Community Plan desiqnation is for non -urban
residential ( one unit or less per acre ) . There are
16 lots on 19 acres which translates to 1 . 18 acres
per lot , and the lots range in actual size from . 42
acres to 2 . 51 acres . All lots comply with the
Community Plan when lot averages are calculated
but , in the opinion of the staff , this practice is
not a favorable methocl of achieving the intent of
the non -urban designation .
2 . Density / Grading - The density of the hillside
development has a direct impact on the quantity of
grading required . This particular project has a
remedi� l gradinq of 80 , 000 cubic yards necessary
regardless of the number of units proposed on the
site . The project is proposing 16 units , which
will require a grading of 204 , 000 cubic yards of
dirt . The current ordinance requires a low density
threshold calculation £ or the development in non
urban hillside management areas and the Community
Plan establishes the maximum permitted density .
When using the low density threshold calculation ,
the low density threshold equates to 2 . 35 units on
19 acres .
3 . Roadways - There is a cul -de - sac proposed ,
extending 1620 feet fram the intersection with
Derringer Lane to the terminus of Lane " B "
( excluding the primary access service road serving
lots 5 and 6 ) . The site plan indicates slopes of
Octo�er 8 , 1990 Page 3
up to 15 % . Driveways have pavement widths which '
varies from 16 feet to 20 feet . The parcels with
driveway access have the required frontage on the
main road , but not the driveway access needed
because of grade differences between the road and
the building pad .
4 . Oak Trees - The existing ordinance requires 2 oak
trees be replaced for every one oak tree removed . ',
The Planning Commission has established an oak tree
replacement policy that exceeds the minimum
requirements . The 10 oak trees identified for
removal would be replaced with 30 oak trees with
24 " minimum box size .
5 . EIR - DG King Associates has been retained by the
applicant as its environmental consultant and the
DEIR was prepared by them . The EIR assesses the
potential physical environmental impacts associated
with the proposed project . To initiate the
environmental review process , the City staff
prepared an initial study , which is a checklist
establishing the technical focus of the DEIR . A
notice of preparation was prepared to inform
selected agencies of the project and to solicit
their comments or concerns . Those comments have
been incorporated and responded to within the EIR .
A draft EIR has been prepared and submitted to the
City for review and then a Notice of Completion , to
indicate the availability of the DEIR , will be
given to all the organizations and individuals who
had previously requested it . The effect upon the
environment must be taken into account when
considering a specific development project . The
California Environmental Quality Act , CEQA , states
public agencies should not approve projects
proposed if there are feasible alternatives or
feasible mitigation measures that would lessen the
significant effects upon the environment . If the
City finds changes or alterations in the project
are not feasible , or that the unavoidable
significant environmental effects are acceptable ,
there must be adequate evidence on the record to
support such a finding . The Government Code
Section 66474 requires the denial of a tentative
map by the Planning Commission when the design of
the sub-division or its improvements are likely to
cause substantial environmental damage .
6 . Video - Helicopter ride around the City to view the
development in the immediate area as heading toward
the site . The helicopter flew over the site , then
swung around and returned in another direction ,
enabling a front on view , matching the model .
7 . Background - The site consists of hilly terrain . A
slope analysis indicates 6 . 17 acres are located on
slopes of 0 - 25 % , 10 . 54 acres are found on
October 8 , 1990 Page 4
slopes of 25 - 50 % , and 2 . 38 acres exceed a 50 %
slope . A 30 " Southern California Gas Company high
pressure gas line traverses the southern portion of
the site . The applicant is proposing a subdivision
of 16 lots which will range in size from 18 , 400 sq .
ft . to 109 , 400 sq . ft . of lot area . Pad areas
range in size from 8 , 300 to 20 , 900 sq . ft . The
dwelling units planned for the pads would range
from 5 , 000 to 10 , 000 sq . ft . in size .
8 . Discussion - Grading plans indicate a balanced cut
and fill of the site . No import of material will
be required . Export of some material is expected
to grub the site of natural grasses and various
trees . It is expected that grading utilizing
earthmovers will require 11 to 45 days to conclude
grading activities and the noise and dust
associated with such activity may be affected by
conditions such as weather and hours of operation .
Grading plans indicate the maximum height for cut
slopes is 80 feet and the maximum depth of the fill
is 95 feet . Slopes throughout the project site
will have a variable slope ratios of from 1 to 4
for crib walls proposed to 2 to 1 ( 2 feet of
horizontal space is required for each 1 foot in
vertical height ) . Adjacent to these slopes will
be the flat building pads which will be developed
for the construction of the residents . Access to
this site will be via Derringer Lane and
construction workers will commute daily . The
applicant has not identified where the construction
vehicles will park and remain during non -working
hours .
The staff has reviewed the developer ' s DEIR , including
several dozen revised pages of maps , charts , and the
latest text received October 2 , 1990 . As a result of the
review , staPf maintained a high level oP concern
regarding the adequacy of the DEIR . Staff felt the DEIR
does not appropriately address the inconsistency between
the proposed project and the Community Plan .
Summation of the variety of goals within the Community
Plan :
1 . Maintain the rural setting of the community .
2 . Minimizing the alteration of the natural terrain .
3 . Minimizing the alteration of the natural hillside .
4 . Preserving the major ridgeline .
5 . Minimizing the adverse visual impacts .
6 . Minimizing grading .
� . Protecting the visual quality of highly scenic
areas .
Staffs review of the DEIR :
Octobex 8 , 1990 Page 5
l . A complete review , of a " reasonable " alternative to
the project , is lacking . It was requested , from
the consultant , to have an analysis of alternative
densities on the site to protect the ridgeline ,
reduce grading and come up with a development . The
applicant was asked three different alternatives be
examined : a 6 unit alternative ; an 8 unit
alternative ; and two unit alternative .
2 . The DEIR identifies several significant impacts and '
indicates the environmental effects can be reduced
to a level of insignificance , but alternative
project designs have not adequately been explored
in terms of further reducing impacts associated
with the project .
3 . The grading techniques , and the extent of the
earth movement proposed , if approved , would
establish a new precedent and policy for hillside
development within the City . An examination , of
such a policy and its impacts , should be explored
in a cumulative environmental setting . The DEIR
does not adequately explore the cumulative impacts
of the proposed project .
4 . The DEIR indicates the project will be a visual
boon both to the occupants and the viewers from
afar , with the proposed landscaping . The staff has
found no evidence in the DEIR which supports this
conclusion .
5 . The determination of whether or not impacts �re
significant and adverse is an issue for Commission
consideration . If the Commission determines there
will be significant adverse impacts , then it must
determine the benefits of the projects to the
Community , outweigh the adverse impacts , and
recommend to Council a Statement of Overriding
Considerations be made by the City Council before
approving the plan .
James DeSte£ ano concluded , since the application is for
several disqretionary permits , the Commission has several
options :
1 . Approve the project and impose conditions . ,
2 . Deny the project .
3 . Continue the matter until further information
is provided .
Staff emphasized policy , and not feasibility , is needed
to dictate the form which development should take , and
declared the proposed project :
1 . Does not conform with the Community Plan .
2 . Is fundamentally too intense for the site .
3 . Inadequately mitigates the impacts of
' development .
October 8 , 1990 Page 6
4 . Is inappropriate for its surroundings .
5 . Results in an inferior site plan .
James DeStefano recommended the Planning Commission
direct the staff to prepare a resolution of Denial ,
without prejudice , and bring it back for the Commissions
final consideration .
Chair / Schey asked for clarification as to how the
density , in averaging lot size , is determined within the
Plan .
Robert Searcy , Associate Planning Director , stated the
Plan does not dictate an amount of specificity toward
application , but the staff uses a lot by lot
determination .
C / MacBride asked if the County proceeded on an average
concept , and was told , by Robert Searcy , that it did .
Chair / Schey opened the hearing to the public and asked
the applicant to make the presentation .
Frank Piermarini , developer in Diamond Bar for 17 years ,
and resident for 16 years , stated the goal , for the 19
acre parcel , is to build the finest luxury homes that
average 1 . 18 acres , ranging from 5 , 000 to 10 , 000 sq . ft ,
all individually designed , completely irrigated , and
landscaped . Mr . Piermarini perceived the property as a
liability with a potential fire hazard , slide area , and
noise and erosion problems that is to be solved on the
completion of the development . He stated the designs will
fit within the guidelines of the Country and has tried to
present to staff and the neighbors a good project .
Don King , office located at 10722 Arrow Route Ste . 616 ,
Rancho Cucamanga , addressed the topics of concern of the
EIR :
i
1 . Grading
a . Remedial grading of 80 , 000 cubic yards a
safety reason to mitigate existing geological
problems .
b . Grading is to be done at once .
c . The final grading plan is adjustable to any
new City standards using CUP condition .
2 . Road Grades
a . Concerning the 15 % grading , the County had
granted a negative declaration in the original
development and was also approved by the
County Fire Department .
3 . Gas Line
a . The gas line is to be relocated .
b . The Gas Company will approve the final
Octo�er 8 , 1990 Page 7
layout , design , and construction of the new
line .
c . The Gas Company will do the hookup and the '
disconnecting .
d . The safety requirements are stingingly
, en£ orced by the Gas Company and they assume
all liability . '
4 . Question of the Intermittent Blue Line Stream
a . The original review showed there was a
possibility the development encroached on a
Blue Line Stream .
b . The actual scale and the topographic analysis
later showed the two Intermittent Blue Line
Stream were not on the subject site .
c . The applicant is waiting for a response from
the California Fish and Game , and assume no
response is a silent agreement .
5 . Crib walls retaining the creation of new slopes
a . The tallest section of crib wall is 28 feet
and would move horizontally 4 feet , therefore
fitting comfortably in the 50 feet of the
highest section of the crib wall .
b . The walls are not solid and will be covered
with landscaping .
6 . Proposed Landscaping
a . Replacement trees will be provided by City
standards .
b . The site is now barren , and is a fire hazard ,
without visual amenity .
c . The new landscaping is proposed to cover the
entire site and the applicant will assume
responsibility in maintaining the landscaping .
d . There will be a variety of trees and tree
sizes proposed in a conceptual landscape plan .
e . The landscaping must meet the Country
standards .
7 . Buffering and Privacy
a . The applicant met with the adjacent neighbors
at� a neighborhood meeting and offered to plant '
trees where buffering is needed - on neighbors
property if necessary .
b . There will be trees and bushes planted to
screen and assure privacy of neighbors .
8 . Viewshed and Visibility : Aesthetics
a . The applicant has provided a srale model to
fully show what the proposal will look like .
b . There is a complete photographic survey
showing the existing site from both near and
far .
9 . Ridgelines ,
a . The photographic survey shows the current
ridgeline as barren of trees .
b . A new ridgeline would be created by the
October 8 , 1990 Page 8
crowns of new trees , included in the
development . The grading and new slopes would
blend into the background because it would be
green rather than light tan as now
exists in the summer .
10 . Environmental Review
a . Originally the project had been reviewed by
the County and they £ ound no significant
impacts and granted a negative declaration .
The City is not sure of the analysis done by
the County and a Focused EIR was requested .
The Focused EIR ( one of 8 units and one of 6
units ) was prepared following the requirements
of the CEQA . No significant impacts on the
environment were found to occur should the
project be built as proposed .
b . The FEIR is by law only an informational
document which identifies what would likely
occur if the project were built as proposed .
By law , an FEIR cannot assume an advocacy
position .
c . The suggestion that the Commission cannot
certify the FEIR , or approve the proposed
project without making findings or overriding
concern , is leading since the Commission has
not yet determined whether a significant
impact would occur . Significant impact is
properly defined by the CEQA .
d . Certification of the EIR , merely acknowledges
the City followed the rules of CEQA in
preparation of the FEIR . It does not
acknowledge anything else . The proposed
project may still be approved or denied
whether there are environmental impacts or
not .
Don King , finished with his prepared response , continued
with answers to some of the questions raised by the staff
report . �
1 . Density and Grading
a . There is an exception on the site because the
remedial grading is not a safe set of ground ,
and should be done regardless .
b . The relocation of the gas line involves
grading .
c . The statement , " With a density approving the
low-density threshold , the quantity of
required grading can be projected to decrease
accordingly . " , is not supported by the data in
the EIR .
2 . Roadways
a . The roads and the gradient proposed are
consistent with the County codes .
Octo�er S , 1990 Paqe 9
3 . Oak Trees
a . The applicant has proposed to meet the City
standards and , as stated , there would be
additional landscaping .
b . Long term maintenance is negotiable with the
City and the applicant or as authorized by the
City .
4 . Landscaping '
a . The landscaping plan was submitted and had
been changed to meet the Country standards .
Don King discussed the report of the EIR :
1 . In regards to the statement , " Disagreement among
experts does not make an EIR adequate . " , he added ,
" nor inadequate " . The question of adequacy deals
with the amount of information available to make an ',
adequate decision .
2 . The applicant had replaced supplemental and revised
pages of the EIR , instead of placing them in the '
appendix of the EIR , in hopes of creating less
confusement .
3 . The lots are larger then the minimum required in
the Community Plan .
4 . The General Plan Policy to maintain the original
landscaping is inconsistent to the proposal because
the applicant will put in landscaping where there
is none now .
5 . The remedial grading requires extensive cuts
altering the terrain and the ridgeline . The
question to be determined is : is it consistent to
the General Plan to put the soil back to its
original state , or put the soil back in a manner
allowing development .
6 . The site is not a visual amenity .
7 . As an alternative , 2 units are not reasonable to '
build because of the amount of grading required .
Remedial grading is necessary regardless of what is
develo�ed .
8 . The DEIR would set precedent on this site and any
site that has the problems to the extent of this
site . The land is without much use other than
housing .
9 . The consultant does not have the technology to do
computer graphics on houses not designed and add
them to the site for identification .
Frank Piermarini summarized his development will stop the
hazards existing on the land and will develop the land
into a beautiful site . He asked the Commission to
approve the project .
Chair / Schey adjourned the meeting for a recess at 8 : 45
p . m . and called the meeting to order at 8 : 53 p . m .
October 8 , 1990 Page 10
Chair / Schey declared the Public Hearing open to the
audience in favor of the project .
John Pringle , attorney for the Diamond Bar Country
Estates Association , stated the board of directors
basically supported the development and has reached a
tentative agreement , with Mr . Piermarini , concerning the
access issues through the Country .
Dan Buffington , 2605 Indian Creek , stated as a point of
clarification referring to the General Plan , density is
to be an average .
Alan Kinder , 1800 Derringer , commended Mr . Piermarini
and approves of the development of 16 homes .
Al LaPeter , 23955 Ridgeline , felt the property is a
tremendous fire hazard and very unsightly .
Lorraine Repucci , resident of Diamond Bar , commended Mr .
Piermarini on his developments and attentiveness to his
projects .
Those in opposition to the project .
Pat Brashere , 13 year resident at 23497 Coyote Springs
Drive , felt the project will obstruct view of homes , and
will be an eyesore from the freeway . He believed the
Country was to be open and rolling , not condensed .
Tom Kraver , 1678 Bronsnell Rd . , is totally opposed to the
development of the 16 units in the area and would like to
preserve the land for the existing wildlife .
Steve Campbell , 23485 E . Coyote Springs Dr . , commended
Mr . Piermarinis developments but is concerned with the
nature of setting a precedent . He questioned if future
builders would do similar quality work .
I
Suzanne Paine , 23494 Coyote Springs , was against the crib
wall and was concerned with the environment and the
wildlife .
Claudia Huff , 1640 Fire Hallow , noted the applicant never
mentioned the alternative of leaving the land as it is .
She felt the 16 unit development is obscene and would
like the area left alone for the wildlife .
Debbie 0 ' Donnell , 23550 Coyote Springs , stated her home
will get the run off during the rainy season and is
concerned about the safety of relocating the gas line .
Bob Hu£ f , 1640 Fire Hallow , felt Mr . Piermarini would do
a good job of development but felt the City should
Oct �ber S , 1990 Page 11
avoid overdevelopment .
Toni Lewis , 1504 Hallow Bluff , stated if prior decisions
could be overturned within the General Plan , then it
would make guidelines difficult .
Chair / Schey asked for the Commissioners comments .
VC / Harmony was concerned with the safety of the 15 %
grade .
Ron Kranzer , City Engineer , stated 15 % is an acceptable
standard on hillside developments but would try to keep
it less if achievable .
VC / Harmony was concerned with the 3 Iots serviced by a
driveway with substandard roads , includinq the road
traversing down the hill . Ae doubted the ability of the '
Fire Department to have sufficient access to the
properties .
Don King responded the drive below the hill was intended
to reduce the grading . He stated the engineer couid
eliminate the drive because those lots do have access on
the cul -de - sacs that meet the City standards .
A1 Dayton , representative of Piermarini Ent . , stated the
drive is necessary for access to the gas line , regardless
of the accessibility of the homes .
VC / Harmony was uncomfortable with the mass of development
occurring on very steep roads , small lots and the safety
regarding fire protection .
A1 Dayton stated the plan was approved by the Fire
Department and a negative declaration was obtained from
the County . He explained the cul - de - sac street is
acceptable for accessibility because it has a turn around
for the Fire Trucks . '
VC / Harmony �nquired as to how tall the crib wall , on the
west edge , will be above the existing grade .
A1 Dayton stated the wall is 18 feet high , however 22
feet of the crib wall will be below the grade adjacent to
the existing houses , and will not be visible . '
VC / Harmony ascertained the development will create a
negative visual impact to the hillside and may not meet
SEQA requirements .
VC / Harmony asked the applicant if a plan was submitted
during the grading phase , that would mitigate any storm
runoff .
A1 Dayton stated an erosion control plan would be

developed at the same time as the final grading plan .
Ron Kranzer explained the City has strict guidelines on
erosion maintenance and the developer is responsible to
maintain any erosion control devices .
C / MacBride asked the location of the reconstitution of
the major line of unstable land .
Don King responded it would be exactly where it is now in
horizontal alignment and it would merely be a change in
vertical alignment consistent with the grading .
C / MacBride requested James DeStefanos viewpoint of the
video .
James DeStefano noted the hills are steeper than
visualized on the map , and he saw much more trees on the
site that may be affected by the grading .
Chair / Schey is concerned about the excessive grading
necessary to develop the proposed site , and felt the
overall density is too great , given the restraints on it .
He is not convinced the grading required would not be
lessen , if less homes are built on the site . He stated
the impacts , of this development , are almost entirely
going to be felt by residents outside the Country ,
therefore what they allow is irrelevant to the case . He
concluded , there is too much development , in this site in
this particular circumstance .
VC / Aarmony summarized the project is out of character
with the Community plan .
C / MacBride perceived Diamond Bar to want to limit
development to reflect the feeling o£ country living .
Chair / Schey declared the Public Hearing closed .
C / Lin suggested developing guidelines for a compromise
between thei applicant and the neighbors . She had no
objections to developing the land but had reservations to
the number of lots planned .
Motion made by VC / Harmony , seconded by C / MacBride and
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to direct staff to prepare , for the
next available meeting , resolutions denying , without
prejudice , the Oak Tree , CUP , the Tentative Tract , and
making an appropriate finding of the EIR .
Draft Sign Chair / Schey asked for the staff report .
Ordinance :
Larry Weissman , Contract Planner , stated the purpose of
the discussion is to describe the qoals , the structure
and the rationale of the draft sign program .
October 8 , 1990 Page 13 ,
1 . The Goals of the Ordinance : '
a . To encourage use of modest signs with due ,
regards for the needs of the business '
community .
b . To ensure sign permit applications receive an '
appropriate level of review . '
c . To bring existing signs , as much as is
practical , into compliance with any
regulations which is ultimately adopted . ,
He stated the draft ordinance seeks to achieve these
goals through the application of design and locational
standards , in the system sign categories , which
determines the level of review required for various
signs .
The draft ordinance includes :
1 . Provisions for the maximum size area and heights ,
which re£ lect the minimum height necessary , for
effective communication of inessages , including
provisions for special circumstances , which may
justify exceeding the proposed maximum .
2 . Locational standards to minimize impacts in
commercial and residential areas .
3 . The creation of four ( 4 ) sign groups :
a . Planned Signs - for Planning Commission Review
b . Basic Signs - for staff review
c . Exempt Signs - no permit required
d . Prohibited Signs - not permitted in any zone
4 . The prohibited signs will probably be given high
priority in any sign abatement program . '
Examples of changes if the draft is adopted :
1 . The 12 foot pole , and pylon sign located on Colima
and Brea Canyon , and on Diamond Bar Blvd . by the '
freeway , would be prohibited .
2 . Wall signs would be limited to a maximum area of
100 sq . ft . for business use .
3 . Temporary signs , such as Commercial Real Estate
signs , and Subdivision sale signs , would be reduced
in size .
The staff has reviewed the comments made by the
Commission , on the hearing of September 24 , 1990 , and the
comments on the survey . Some additions have been made to
the ordinance reflecting those comments . The draft , in
its current form , has also been mailed to approximately
60 groups for their statement . It is recommended , the
Commission direct staff to make revisions , and prepare
the draft sign ordinance for clarification , by the City
Attorney , for future recommendations to City Council .
October 8 , 1990 Page 14
Chair / Schey asked the Commission for any questions to the
staff .
VC / Harmony indicated the 4 feet restriction on the
monument signs to be small and would like a compromise to
increase it . He realized the pole signs have been
prohibited but would like to know if there is a
mechanism , through the CUP , to allow for special
circumstances .
James DeStefano informed the Commission there are two
ways to permit special circumstances :
1 . Put in a revision stating any sign above " x " feet
requires a Conditional Use Permit .
2 . Leave the Ordinance as drafted , and a sign above
" x " feet , needs approval of a variance .
He stated either case would have to be substantiated .
Bill Curley , City Attorney , elaborated the CUP gives more
flexibility in the applicants rationale for a special
circumstance , whereas , a variance gives the applicant a
higher standard to overcome and must have certain
discreet characteristics justifying the change . He
explained the State General Planning Law provides four
( 4 ) discreet criteria for a variance , without exceptions ,
and are reflected in the County Code .
VC / Harmony stated if the Commission does not mention the
CUP , then the variance automatically becomes adopted .
Chair / Schey summarized , if the Commission left pole signs
as a prohibited sign , then by statute , the applicant
would have the ability to ask for a variance .
VC / Harmony would like staff to elaborate on the
Commercial and Real Estate signs .
Larry Weissman explained the Construction and
Commercial Real Estate sign have been increased to an
area of 24 sq . ft . £ eet and the height to 6 feet , a change
from 16 sq . ft . and 4 feet in height .
i
C / MacBride asked if the Commercial and Real Estate signs
were one of the concerns of the Chamber of Commerce .
Staff felt the Chamber of Commerce would find the present
requirements adequate .
C / MacBride inquired as to their concerns on banners ,
flags , and pennants .
Larry Weissman stated the present code prohibits banners ,
flags , and pennants , including portable signs
October 8 , 1990 Page 15
and balloons , whereas the survey from the Chambers '
indicated the respondents would like to use them on a
temporary basis for special events .
Chair / Schey open the Public Hearing to the audience .
Jeff Nickle , with the Trammell Crow Company , at 18500 E .
Gale , City of Industry , which acquired the building at
1370 Valley Vista , in Gateway Corporate Center , from the '
original developer . Ae would like to bring to the
Commissions attention some of the elements of the signage
program he felt can be architecturally compatible with
the Community and also serve a legitimate commercial
purpose . He urged the Commission to allow nonconforming
signs to exist at a minimum until the current tenant
leaves the City . In regards to Real Estate sign , he felt
the signs should vary in size in accordance to the size
of the project . In his opinion , a permanently mounted
sign , with lanscaping at its base , is very attractive . '
In conclusion , he urged the Commission to retain the
flexibility , in the consideration of the ordinance , in
allowing non- conforming signs with special
circumstances .
Don Nardella , 22344 Coyote Springs , representing the
Chamber of Commerce , questioned if it is appropriate for
the Planning Commission to review window signs . He
questioned what a special flag is . He stated there is a
lot of desire among the business Community to see the
draft , and pointed out merchants are very concerned with ,
the phasing in of the plan . He would like to see
provisions for temporary lighting for holidays and other
special events . He noted , for Commercial space , the
Commission should make some consideration for the size of
the development in relationship to the size of the sign .
James DeStefano concluded the purpose of the hearing is
to acquire the various ideas and develop them into a real
ordinance . '
Chair / Scheyideclared the Public xearing closed and asked
for the Commissioners comments .
VC / Harmony , in response to Mr . Nardella comments ,
indicated there needs to be some provision directing
window signs . However , he believed the 25 % allowed
presently does not give adequate consideration for
special events , or well executed window signs . He asked
staff for the definition of special flags .
Larry Weissman stated special flags indicate the
difference between the permits obtained by the Planned
Sign program and those obtained through the Exempt Signs .
Flags up to 6 feet in height , within the given
October 8 , 1990 Page 16
size area , are Exempt Signs , and those above that go to
the Planned Sign category . The ordinance does allow for
any governmental flags , national flags and governmental
agency type flags within the height restrictions of the
zone area .
Chair / Schey asked staff if they need to put the draft in
a more conventional ordinance form before taking it to a
formalized Public Hearing .
James DeStefano recommended staf £ send a £ollow up letter
stating the Planning Commission has given direction to
develop the ordinance and staff is available for any
discussion about tonights meeting . Staff will then
redistribute the draft ordinance , leading up to a Public
Hearing , to further discuss its merits . He stated staff
could put the draft in a more conventional form by the
first meeting in November .
VC / Harmony preferred the Commission state the changes to
the ordinance , before staff is directed to put the
ordinance in a formal format .
The Commission directed staff to amend :
1 . Monument Signs - allowed to go to a maximum height
of 6 feet , with no more than 4 feet being a sign
copy .
2 . Window Signs - an additional o put on top of the
present 25o for holidays .
Chair / Schey directed staff to place the structure in an
ordinance format and bring it back to the Commission for
hearing the second meeting in November . He requested
staff , in the mean time , send the follow up letter and
subsequently distributing the draft ordinance .
NEW BUSINESS :
Interim Staff stated the Council , during the Study Workshop
Development Session , ha� agreed the Commission go forth and develop
Control Ordinance an ordinance . Staff has put together a variety o£
Draft : excerpts from 9 different ordinances . The draft , before
the Commission , has many flaws , but it represents the
direction to declare policy , establish the specifics to
be given developers , and the direction as to the
occurrence of development on the hillside , at least for
the interim . Once the document is polished , it will
represent greatly , the direction of hillside development .
The draft has not been reviewed by Mr . Kranzer , nor by
other departments or operations that may be effected by
it . It is staffs intent to get this to City Council by
next Tuesdays meeting .
�etober 8 , 1990 Page 17 ',
Bill Curley informed the Commission the Interim '
Ordinance is a two ( 2 ) step process :
1 . It takes effect immediately after adoption , and
will run for 45 days . During that period , staff
commences or finishes the final product and thirty ,
five days into it , a report must be prepared
publicly discussing where they are at in the
process . Generally the report is short . If the
final product is completed , it is adopted through
the normal process , if not , the second step is
adopted . '
2 . It takes it on for another 10 1 / 2 months . At the '
end of that time , another analysis is given and is
extended it for another year .
Bill Curley stated , if in the first 45 days , the report
finds what was adopted in the Interim is unmanageable , it
can be dropped and the process begins again .
Motion made by C / MacBride and seconded by VC / Harmony and
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY for support from the City Council to
adopt the Emergency Interim Ordinance , in its polished
state , and the Commissions expression for the need of
such an ordinance .
Ron Kranzer wondered how the draft applied , to the
ridgetop development , in the Country . For those asking
for a permit or a site plan now prohibited , but not
contrary to the way the Country has already been
developed , would have a Catch 22 situation .
James Destefano stated there is a provision allowing for '
existing single unit lots to proceed .
ANNOUNCEMENTS : James DeStefano stated November 12 , 1990 is a holiday and
November 13 , 1990 is a special meeting , thereby
restricting � the Planninq Commissions meeting for the
Public Hearing .
C / MacBride suggested meeting November 9 , 1990 at City
Hall .
James DeStefano suggested having the scheduled meeting of
November 26 , 1990 , and sta £ f will have the Commissioners
packets ready by November 16 , 1990 in order to
concentrate the efforts in one meeting .
Chair / Schey stated the only issue that would carry over
from the missed meetinq is the cellular phone sell and
the development code will be a discussion item .
October 8 , 1990 Page 18
James DeStefano concurred and included the development
code should be subdivided into discussions , whereas , one
evening would be of residential zones , and another
evening about commercial zones .
Chair / Schey stated to forgo the meeting of November 12 ,
1990 and meet November 26 , 1990 and staff will have the
packets available by November 16 , 1990 .
VC / Harmony commends the Planning Director on the well
written , inPormative , and intelligent memorandum of the
Hillside Development .
ADJOURNMENT : Motion was made by C / MacBride and seconded by VC / Harmony
and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to adjourn the meeting at 12 : 05

DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION
MINUTES OF JULY 23 , 1990 -
1 . Santa Fe Industrial Park project located in the City of
Industry on a 83 acre parcel on the northeast corner of erea
Canyon . Road and Spanish Lane .
Staff is concerned with the impacts that the development along '
Brea Canyon Road in the City of Industry might have on the
City of Diamond 8ar ' s maintenance of Brea Canyon and Colima .
They are proposing that some means of mitigation measures be
discussed with the City of Industry .
Secretary Kaplan stated that he has met with representatives
of the Santa Fe Industrial Park oecause they want the City or'
Uiamond Bar ' s concerns to be reflected in the Environmental
Assessment . He asked that tne representatives of tnis project
be aliowed the opportunity to present this preject to the
Commission .
Philip Swortz , Planning Consultant for Santa Fe Land Company ,
stated that the Commission has been given a copy of the
Initial Study which discusses the environmental issues that
will be addressed in the EIR . There was also a traffic study
submitted to the Commission .
The first phase of the project will be the construction or a
Circuit City warehouse and distribution center lecated along
Lot 18 of the business park . The rest of the pro ,jecr will be
nermal industrial faci 'lities through a master� plan
methodology . Mr . Swortz estimated that the project will take
10 years before it is fully developed . The proposed Circuit
City units will be an addition to the existing Circuit City
facility . The new bui �lding will be 447 , 500 square feet . The
Environmental Impact Report will take the worst case of
development when reviewing the traffic impacts , etc of the
development of the site . One of the major issues that will
be addressed is the peak hour traffic .

DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION
MINUTES OF JULY 23 , 1990 -
Committee Member Chavers stated that although the applicants
are expecting a lower trip generation rate , the Traffic and
Transportation Committee anticipates a heavier truck traffic
than what an office park would generate . Une of the
Committee ' s concerns is what the impacts upon the interchange
will be . The BDI report indicates that roughly 55 percent of
the traffic will be utilizing the State Route 60 Brea Canyon
Interchange , which is already substandard . Most of tnis
traffic will be large trucks . They are concerned wiLh botn
maintaining the streets within Diamond Bar and what the
effects will � e on that intersection .
Mr . Swortz stated that they will add the maintenance issue to
the EIR . He feels that the traf' fic has cnanged substantially
in botn direciion and houriy rate from the traffic repor- t that
was submitted a c, ouoie of years ago .
Committee Memoer Chavers stated that many peopie think that
the opening of Grand Avenue witl solve many of the traffic
problems . He wanted to encourage the applicant ' s consultant
not to expect another arterial to resolve the trafric problem ,
it needs to be considered in an overail concept .
Cornmittee Me �mber Rebeiro stated that due to the other
deveiopments that are expected to ocr. ur , he wo'uld iike to see
the backgrounq traffic addressed when the EIR is preoared .
In addition i. o this , he would like to see a deiailed
justification for the distribution pattern that has been used
in the past .
I
Mr . Swqrtz stated that they are going to suggest to the City
of Industry that they coordinate with the consultants that are
working with the City of Diamond Bar to prepare the City Plan
in order to insure cohesiveness . He stated that the EIR will
be started next month . It will take approximately 22 weeks
before the EIR will be presented at a public hearing . The
Planning Center is the consultant that will be preparing the
EIR .
Commissioner Grothe asked if the City of Industry had any
pians for alternate routes between Brea Canyon and Grand
Avenue . Mr . Swortz was not able to answer this question .

DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION
MINUTES OF JULY 23 , 1990 �
Commissioner MacBride stated that Vice Chairman Harmony
prepared a memorandum for the Commission regarding the traffic
issues . He had four ( 4 } points which are as fol ' ows : 1 ) short
term traffic generation , 2 } long term trafiic generation , 3 )
suggested that they require this projecb and future
surrounding projects � o be developed for Light Industrial ,
Offices , Commercial uses and Residential ; 4 ) Special
Restrictions on the storage and / or usage of dangerous and
hazardous chemicals should be implemented due to the close

Committee Member Chavers asked Mr . Swoi� tz if he knew of how
the project fits into the City of Industry ' s Ger� erai Plnn and
how they are treating the congestion element in term = of .
regional impacts . Mr . Swortz stated tnat he kneui they were
trying to respond to all the raquirements placed upon them by
Staie Law , AOMD and the various other issues that have been
raised .
Commissioner Grothe was concerned with the traffic turning
left from Brea Canyon onto Coiima and the traffic backing up
at the off - ramp of the freeway .
Committee Member Chavers stated that the Commitiee is going
to look further into truck traffic . The reauest that they
have fior the City of Industry and Santa Fe is that they
consider approving a regulation not allo �iing truck deliveries
during the peak traffic hours .
Commissioner Grothe st� ated that the ingress and egress of the
site needs to be looked at carefully .
2 . Soquel Canyon / Tonner Canyon Feasibility Study .
This study is proposed for the County of San eernardino and
the County of Orange although it will affect Diamond Bar ,
specifically the Sphere of Influence . Soquel Canyon and
Tonner Canyon are two roads that have been proposed to relieve
the traffic congestion of cars trave 'ling north on the 57
Freeway and easterly on the 60 Freeway . This will relieve
the cut - through traffic on Diamond Bar Boulevard .

Committee Member Chavers stated that the study is net a
financial feasibility . It strictly looks at the demand , the
road way configuration and what the alternatives in concept
would be . This report has determined tnat the construction
of only one of these roadways will not relieve the congestion
on Diamond Bar Boulevard and Grand Avenue . The report
requires all three facilities to be built , Soquel Canyon ,
Tonner Canyon and Carbon Canyon . Ne also stated that these
are poLential toll corridors and as such they are oeing
consider2d under SLate Legislature AB680 which encourages onfy
a handful of toll corridors throughout the state . � or these
to be one or the four named by thg Legislature , ihe ccurt will
take political consensus as well as some of the standarq
engirieering and financial f � asibilities .
Secretary Isti4< stated that there are meetings once a month
aY, the City ofi Brea City Hall and all interested parties are

Secretary Kaplan stated that some of the Public Nearing Items
were of interest to the Traffiic and Transportation Ccmmittee
and so they wer � placed on the agenda in both sections , He
suggested that they comoine the two by hearing each item first
as a Giscussion Item and then have the Traffic Committee
recess and open the Public Hearing .

3 . Cond_iti. onal__ Use Permit ._ 8�_- 551_ , this project pertains to a 54
unit apartment compleM located on a 4 . 5 acre parcel at 800
South Grand Avenue .
Secretary Istik stated that some of the Commission concerns
were the horizontal and vertical design speeds of Grand Avenue
to see whether or not a safe left turn could be made into the
complex from the . 60 Freeway and to look into the need for a
traffic signal . There was also concern about the internal
circulation of the project . The Traffic and Transportation
Committee has discussed some of these items .

MINUTES OF JULY 23 , 1990
Committee Member Chavers stated that the significant concern
was the single access point onto Grand Avenue and how that
access point would operate . It is the Committee ' s
understanding that this access might be coordinated with the
access of the project across the street and they wanted to
know more about this possibility . He felt that if they do cut
the median to provide left turns in and out of both sites and '
provide a signal at this point , they will be signalizing
almost every curb cut along Urand Avenue which will not have
a positive effect .
Secretary Istik stated that the Commiztea feeis that when the
hospital site is developed there will be a need for a traffic
signal at this location to provide a lert turn out of tn2 site
to enable cars to gain access onto the 60 Fi- eeway . The
applicant has proposed to orovide a left turn into the complex .
with no provisions for a. left turn out . The ver- tical curb '
along Grand Avenue will support a 50 MPH soeed limit . The
horizontal curb on Grand Avenue when going north towards the ,
proposed entrance to the complex is about 45 MPH . If the
trees are kept trim this might be increased io 50 MPH .
Chairman Schey stated that he did not see hou� tnis site ' s
entrance will line up with the hospital ` s entrarice �� nlass they '
tear away the bottom part of the slope on the south end ofi the
aparLment complex site .
Secretary Istik stated that the Commi 'ttee has asked th :�
applicant to move the drive so that it wili line up with the
hospital site . This cPuld be a condition of approv � '1 ir tnis
site is approved .
Commissioner MacBride asked if potential parking on Grand
Avenue was a concern . Secretary Istik stated Chat any parking
on Grand Avenue would not be permitted . The applicant has
provided 2 parking spaces per unit and 11 guest parking
spaces . The units are 2 and 3 bedroom apartments .
Commissioner MacBride did not feel that this will be
sufficient . There is roughly 2 parking spaces per unit .
Traffic and Transportation Committee recessed .

This project was continued from the last Planning Commission
meeting . The applicant has provided colored renderings to
give the Commission a better understanding of the
architectural concept for the site . The renderings reflect
the appropriate ingress and egress locations ofi the site ,
parking structures , landscaping and some of the recreation
facilities which will be located in the northwestern corner
ofi the property . Additionaily , staff has provided the
conditions to reflect the concerns of the Planning Commission
and have added some supplemental conditions . Staff feels that
the application has met the minimum requirements of the Zoning
Code . Staff feels tha 't the project is consistent with the
character of the neighborhood and is one of the least traffic
generating projects that could be developed on this site .
Staff recommends approval of the project .
The supplemenT, al cond : tion.s are as follows :
1 . Landseaping will be a year- round nature . Irrigation on
the project should be approved as part of the landscape
plan .
2 . Per the landscape plan , there should be 24 inch 6ox trees
pianted along Grand Avenue .
3 . The applicant will supply wai; er conser� ving toi lets iri the
complex .
4 . No construction shall appear in the Edison Easement .
5 . Construction of t�ne site shall be in conformance with the
approved site plan and landscape plan .
6 . The City Engineer has requested that the project
contribute $ 10 , 000 in mitigation fees toward controlling
the mitigation of Grand and Golden Springs intersection .
7 . The Traffic and Transportation Commi 'ttee suggests
requiring a fee of $ 50 , 000 for the installation of a
signal at the entrance of their project .
8 . Appiicant must provide for sidewalks along Grand Avenue :
9 . All air conditioning units will be roaf mounted and
concealed from street level view ,

11 . The lighting plan wi11 b � required to be apart of the
landscaping and irrigation plan and to be approved by the
Planning Commission .
12 . Parking garages will have to be shown as approved .
13 . Each dwelling unit shall pr � vide at least one garage
par � ing spaces to be used only by that use .
Commissioner Grothe stated that he felt that 2 parking soaces
per unit plus gues 't par4cing is not adequaze . In cailing
different. cities , one city suggested 1 parking space per
bedroom plus adequate guest parking .
The Public Nearing was opened to comments from the apolicant .
Reoert Fumo , Architect rrom Wayne Sue Architects , stated Lhat
when they designed this project two ( 2 ) years ago , they
designed the parking in conformance with the current code .
He a. lso stated that the air conditioning units that they have
designed are the fan coil uni 'ts tnat are set on the patios and
screened from the Grand Avenue line ef site . Installing them
on the roof will be very expensive .
Scott Jenkins , Attorney , suggesLed that instead of changinc�
the grading of the ent� ire project to add 20 to 30 additionai
parking spaces , they could condition that the lease elearly
states that tenants are limited to 2 cars which must be parked
in the appropriate spaces and that the guest spaces are to be
used by guests only .

Dan Buffington , 22605 Ind �ian Creek , Diamond 8ar , stated his
biggesL concern was the parking issue . He felt that they
should cut dowri the number of uriits for the comqlex in order
to provide sufr' icient parking . The reason that garages
instead of parking stalls have been indicated is . fior a safety
reason . Tne Sheriff ' s Department has recommended this in the
past . He was concerned with the stability of the land above
this site . 7he possibility of putting off the installation
of a signal until the apartment building is finished concerned
him .
Ken Lay , 2390 Colorado Avenue , Santa rionica , represen � s int � r -
Community Medical Center and the purchases of land acress Trom
this site for the medical center . He stat. ed tt� at. he is not
in favor nor opposition of the project . His ccmpary is in
sup � ort oF the traffiic signal at the site . There is a
significant grade difference between what appears to be Lhe
site of the signai and the buildable parcei that t 'rie hosoi � al
has purchased . The hospital has expressed a desire to ootain
ingress and egress from Urand Avenue . The preperty line is
beiow the siope that the Planning Commission h � s referred to .
He estimates that it is approximately a 20 foot dra � ofif to
the property line . The proposed iocation of the shared rnedian
cut and traffic light location appears LO be at the lower edge
of that propc, rty line . This would demand some significant
grading which would require patients and employees to enter
the site at a point below tne gr� ade of the Uuildin � s and then
travel up a ramp to the site . This might be confusing for
elderly patients .
�
Mr . Searcy asked Mr . Lay if it would be possible for them to
grade down the level of the existing pad while building up the
level of the property line to give them less of a steep
incline . Mr . Lay inpicated tnat they will study this r" urther
when the survey is done for their site . This is not the
preferred soiution due to the fact that they have to service
the site with mater 'ials and supp1ies . This incline might be
dangerous to trucKs servicing the site with supplies .

Mr . Jenkins stated that he does not feel that they need to
redesign the entire project to provide 20 to 30 additional
parking spaces . There are less obtrusive ways of handling
this, probiem . He stated that the stabiiity or the slope
behind this project was a point that was raised with the
County . TVie applicant conducted several geologic studies and
remediation measure were taken and installed . Engineers that '
have inspected the site nave been satisfied with the stability
of the slope . They support siaff ' s comments on waiting to see
what traffic impacts result and if they relate to the project
the applicant is agreeable to paying their portion of the
costs of mitigating any prooiems . He feels that if there is
a hospital site across tne street , that tne majority of th �
traffic wiii be for that site . If this is tne case , they do
not feel that the costs shou1d be shared 5U / 50 but rather
prorated on expecied usage between the two sites .
Jenm.� Gaw , applicant , 805 West Duarte Road , Arcadia , stated
that they have thought about ways to solve the parking
situation instead of changing the project . One of her
suggestions is to incorporate into the lease a statement
informing tenants of the number of guest parking spaces
available and to specify that if they pian a party they need
to contact the manager to make arrangements .
1" he Public Hearing was alosed .
Mr , Kaplan stated that he has not received a copy of the
geological report and if the commission approves this project ,
staff suggests that th�e approval be sub ,ject to th � geoiogical
report .
Commissioner Grothe proposed that instead of leaving it up to
the manager to enforce the lease , the parking issue be made
one of the mitigating measures . He was also concerned with
the proposed access from the play area onLo Grand Avenue . He
proposed that they add a condition that a fee be paid to the
Parks and Recreation Department . He felt that they needed io
address � andscape and Lighting Maintenance District throughout
the entire city for the hillside landscap9ng .

Mr . Curley stated that normally the parking standard is a
minimum requir� ment that they have to meet . [ This project has
the requirements of the Conditional Use Permit to' meet this
allows the Commission to tailor circumstances to provide for
a project that meets what the Commission perceives the needs
of the community to be . ] this ability to condition a project
is the inherent reason for a Conditionai Use Permit . The
minimum standards are sub,ject to the peculiarities or
particularities of the site .
Chairman Schey asked Mr . Curley about Commissioner G ; othe ' s
suggestion of a Parl< s � nd Recreation fee . Mr . Curley szated
that he was not famiiiar with the fiee structure , Mr . Searcy
stated that there was a formula adopted by tne � it �� Co �u� cil
that conrerned tt� e c;! uinby Act and wouici investigate any
similar formula that. may be in plac � for deveiopment projects
other than subdivisions . Mr . Curiey stated tha �. if there is
not one in place , he would be reluctarit to maKe it a mandatory
requirement .

instead of requiring garage > ; that they should require the

Commissioner MacBride questioned the aopropriateness of
public access from Grand Avenue to the play area .
Genny Gaw stated that this access was provided in order to
conform with the Fire � � epartment ' s requiremenis .
Chairman Schey stated that he did not see anything in the
conditions of approval nor the supplemental conditions of
approval that addressed the issues that the City Engineer
raised at the last meeting re9arding the entrance of the site .
Jack Istik stated that without making it a specific condition ,
when the applicant submits for a scr� eet construction permit ,
they would require the radius to be constructed so that it
will be consistent with a future signa7ized intersection in
the conditions of approval .
Chairman Schey as4< ed if the City had a reimbursement program

Mr . Istik felt that the City would have to enter into a
Reimbursement Agreement with the applicant at the time the
development is commenced on the west side of Grand Avenue .
He said that they could add as a condition of approval that
the center line of the driveway shall be realigned , as
required by the City Engineer , to line up with the property
line extension on the west side of Grand Avenue .
Chairman Schey expressed his concern witn tne parking for this
site given the site ' s location . He was in favor of requiring
one parking space per bedroom pius appropriate guest parking .
He asked what would determine appropriate guest parking and
whether' the existing code was adequate .
Mr . Curley stated that the Commission could refer this to the '
appr� ova1 of the City Planner to ana 'lyze all the dynamirs of
the site conditions given the constraints of the si 'te and the
isolation of design to work witn the applicant to deveiop the
least obtrusive parking mitigation measures .
Chairman Schey indicated that he was not in favor of requirin9
parking garages . The Commission has indicated the desire to
include a provision that would make any approvals sub .ject to
an acceptable geological study , provision of adequate fer� ciny
to insure that children are secure , enforcement of any
appropriate Parks and Recreation fees , a parking standard of
one space per bedroom plus appropriate guest par� k. ing t � be
determined by staff , the entrance be qesigned to be signalized

entrance to be locat d on the east side of Grand Avenue .
Chairman Schey sugges �ed that they utilize a condition that
would require the first owner of the adjacent properties to

a commercial or industrial zoned property is further
subdivided and the land uses are not inciicated , the Committee
cannot tell the Commission what the traffic impact will be .
Committee Member Chavers asked the Pianning Commission to
consider that , as the land is subdivided into smaller parcels ,
smaller parcels tend to have a hic, her generation rate and
hence more traffic . He asked how the pro ,ject , if at all ,

up to Rol ( ing Knoii alnd Ro77ing Kno17 across to Grand Avenue
( southe � st quadrant ) . The neighbors have loo4: ed at closing
the street at Winterwood as well as �uail Summit .
Commissioner Grothe stated that one of the recommendations was
median construction which would not entirely c7ose the road ,
but fo � ce turns in other directions . It seems to him that the
problem is caused by the traffic backed - up on Grand Avenue .
If there is not any traffic , the cars will not cut through the
housing tracts . They have recent.ly re - striped Grand Avenue
to provide a third lane which has to turn right at the signal .
He suggested that instead of forcing the cars to turn right
onto the streets which � re in question , to continue the third
lane across Grand Avenue and end it after� another couple
hundred yards .

DIAMOND BAR PLANNSNG COMMISSION _
� INUTES OF JULY 23 , 1990
Secretary Istik stated that the City Council tried to correct
the problem by the street improvements that currently exist
and providing a large sign with states that the right lane
must turn right . One of the solutions proposed is the
reconstruction of the signal at Grand Avenue and Diamond Bar
eoulevard to allow for double Ieft turn lanes .
Chairman Schey asl< ed what was the reason for placing the right
turn only signs on that third lane on Mountain Laurel and
4uai1 Summit . Mr . Istik stated that it was felt that tney
needed to place a sign there so that people will know that it
is for local access and is not for throunh traffic . Chairman
Sci� ey asked if it would rr' eate a trafi 'ric hazard to remove the
right turn only so that through traffic has zhe use of three
lanes through the intersection at Grand . Mr . Ist ? I< statec
that they would then have a situaticn with Lhe speed limit on
Diamond Bar Boulevard being 45 MPH where they would have cars
in the numkier 3 lane which will slowing down to m � ke a right
turn on the side streets .
Committee Member Chavers stated rhat ii they opened the stree �
to 3 'lanes this would probably solve the current traffic
problem . The homeowners are more concerned wiih the traffic
increase and the prohl � ms 'that will exist aft � r� Grand Avenue
is opened . One oi the possibilities is what West Hollywood
is daing and that is to place consrete planters in the middle
of the street where they want tio close the str2 � t .
Secretary Istik stated that their position now is to wait
until the signal is �'pgraded and then see what the traffic
condition is . The improvements for tnis area will be done in
phases and this is the first phase .
Motion was made by Commissioner Grothe and seconded by
Chairman Schey to place this item on the agenda for the next
meeting . MOTION CARRIED unanimousiy .
The Traffic and Transportation Gommittee meeting re - adjourned .
Secretary Kaplan stated that Screencheck EIR ' s are normally
submitted prior to public hearing to make sure that they are
ready to go to hearing . This is a curtesy extended from the
consultant . If the Commission would like to receive the
Screencheck prior to draft copies the consultant will make
these available .

Commissioner Grothe stated that he felt that they should s � e
the first one under a study session for the reason that tney .
have not yet had the opportunity to review an EIR .
Chairman Schey stated that a d � aft EIR wouid be appropriate
for the Commission to review in a study session but that the
Commission only be made aware that the Screencheck EIR is
being reviewed by staff . Tf one of the Commissioners wishes
to review it , they can obtain a copy from stafr" .
Secre, tary Y. aplan requested that staff review tne Screenchec �
as time permits within their normai worhioa � .
Chairm � n Schey directed staff to supply tne Commission with
drafit policy memorandum for tneir review and . approval

residential structure to be constructed whicn will exceed the
maximum of 2 1 / 2 stories , and the maximum building hPight of
35 feet . The pro ,ject is located at 2108 Rusty Spur Road ,
between Flint Rock anq Rocl< y View Road .
(hr . Searcy stat; c: d t1-, at thi5 iterr was continu � d at th � 'i ,� st
Rlanning Commi � sion m2eting . The ap � lication is fer a
Variance and an Oa4< Tree Permit for a house in excess of forty
feet . The concerns trat the Planning Commission had mainly
conc � rned the oak Tree Permit . 1�lhen the application was
originally s.ubmitted , the ini 'tial study excluded any menrion
of oak trees on this site . A site inspection proved that
there were approximately 17 oak trees on the site . As a
result the appiicant submitted an oak tree applicaLion
requesting the removal of' 5 oak trees . The appiicant also
stated that he wauld be willing to r� epiace tnose oak trees at
a 2 : 1 ratio .
22
DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION
MINUTES OF JULY 23 , 1990
The major concerns with this application , as identified by
staff , are the three stories and the 40 fioot height of the
structure . Due to the topography of the site , staff feels
that the three story limitation as stated in the current
ordinance is somewhat of a burden on the applicant and staff
does not object to exceeding that requirement although staff
feels that to approve the 41 foot height at staff level would
be a grant of a exceptional . privilege . Staff does not feel
that the proJ � ct is in cor� formance with the ordinance . Staff
is recommending deniai of tne variance and if this is approved
then there is not a r2asan � o apprcve T. he Qak Tree Permit .
The Public Hearing was opened to the applic � nt ' s presenta � ion .
Don Holt , Architect , 9b4 N1 . Foot. hill Boulevard , Upland ; stater_
that tne height of ihe proposed nome was determired by tne
Architectural design . The applicanti has chosen a English
Tutor design due io the . fact that this design tends to oe a
popular house . This design demands higher roofi lines anq
higher ceilings .
Skip Burton , ,4pplicant , stated that the building permits have
been ready and waiting ror Pianniny Department ' s npprovai for
some time . He stated that tne design of the house was cnosen
to maximize the ior . If the iot was a levei 'iot , then they
could construct the nouse with only two stories . Due to the
extreme drop ofif in the rear of the property , he needs tne
third story in order to gain ihe square footage needaa to make
it sellable in 'the Country area . He asked if the Gommi. ssion
did not approve the V � riance , that they approve the Oak Tree
Permit so that he could work with the City in redesigning the
house and start construction on this site .
Chairman Schey asked the applicant if this application is not
approved , if he would still go with the same footprint .
The applicant indicated that he would use the same footprint .
He stated that he would not have time to change the house and
what would have to happen , in his . opinion , is that he would
have to lessen the standard of the house by lowering tne
ceiling height and roof lines which he feels will be a less
marketable house . This style of home sells the best in the
Country . The buying markei is slow and he feels that
constructing a house of this design will give him the best
chance of selling this house .
23

MINUTES OF JULY 23 , 1990
Commissioner Grothe was not objectionable to approving this
house due to its architectura "I design ir the architectural
design was the reason it exceeded the height limit .
Commissioner Lin also felt that the architectural design was
in conformance with other homes in the Country and was not
objectionable ta this application .
Chairman Schey stated that he understood the aoolicant ' s
circumstance , but that he u� as concerned witn the anilicy to
make a finding or special circumstance based simplv on

Commissioner Crothe. stated that he was having �; ifficulty
finding this application to be out of the ordir, ary .
Secretary Y. aplan stated that a possible finding of a soecial
circumstance could be tha'� on a flat pad the applicant could
build within 35 feec and en ,ioy the same privilpges as ederyone
else . Given the topography of this lot , t � e applicant is
unable to enjoy the same privileges as everyone else and build
the house that he has chosen . Therefiore , this constitutes a
special circumstance . The front elevation does not exceed 35
feet so the intent of the code is intact .

City of Diamond Bar Councilmembers :
We would like to address our councilmembers and ask if our
has established standards for local business signs . '
At the Diamond Bar Village Shopping Center , there are [wo
businesses with store signs in a foreign langauage , as well as in English .
Our concerns are that Diamond Bar will resemble the sensitive communities j
such as San Marino � Monterey Park and Alhambra , as pu6lished in the L . A . Times
in recent months . ( English Only vs . Foreign Language signs )
We would like to see our community grow in the country feeling of its
history . If you have not addressed this issue yet , we encourage you to do so
I promptly . Diamond Bar does and should welcome everyone . However � store signs
in English Only , would invite all to shop locally , rather than focusing business
Ito one ethnic group .
I
Sincerely Yours ,

SUB7ECT : Environmental Assessment and subdivis .ion 90 - 0052 ( Vesting parcel
Map 22178 )
DESCRIPTION : An application to subdivide a 13 . 35 acres parcel info IZ lots
ranging from . 50 to 1 . 76 acres in size , bounded by Copley Drive and
Gateway Center Drive .
At the 7uly 23 meeting , the Commission deferred consideration of this project
pending a review of the master ptan for Ga � eway Corporate Center and its
anticipated impacts , in order to determine if additional on - site or off - site
mitigation measures are needed .
To assist the Commission in its deliberations , representatives of Zelman •
Development Company , Hill Pinckert Architects , and Linseoit , Law and Greenspan ,
Transportation and Traffic Engineers , and C . P . Lange , Engineers wili make a
presentation to the Planning Commission and the Traffic and Transportation
Committee on Monday , August 13 aY 5 : 00 P . M . at the Walnut Valley Unified School
District Board Room
The attaclied letter was sent to the Zelman Development Company to help focus
their presentation .
Among the uses the Commission may wish to consider are :
1 . The total amount of development which can occur in the center .
2 . The types of uses permitted and the design guidelines and development
standards which apply to the project .
3 . The traffic chazacteristics generated by the project ,
1
4 . Identification of known projects which are likely to contribute to the
cumulative traffic impact in the affected area .
5 . The cumulative impact of traffic on adjacent streets and freeway ramps
resulting from anticipated pro � ects in the area .
6 . The types of mitigation measures , both on - site and off - site needed to
minimize adverse traffic impacts .
7 . Gateway ' s pro - rata share of the cost of mitigation .
- 8 . The eztent to which such costs have already been underwritten .by Gateway
Corporate Center .
If the Commission concludes that the information available provides an adequate
basis for the project to proceed , then it may wish to consider action on the
parcel map request . If more information is needed , then the Commission should
request ihe necessary information and continue the hearing .
If the Commission chooses to approve the request ; then it may �} sh to considet
the foliowing : '
1 . Currenily , parcel sizes in the Center vary from apgroximately 2 to 4 . 5
acres . Unless there is a specific development proposal , the Commission
may not wish to approve paxcels ai less then 2 acres . This would mean
that smaller pazcels would be app.roved only if . an acceptable developmen L
p2an were presented for the parcel , .
2 . The Commission may also wish to consider a pedesirian pathway p2an for -
the center , since the mix of uses may invite pedestrian traffic if it
connected such destinat. ions as the hotei , proposed restauzant and offices
in an efficient and attractive manner , so that one does not have to drive
around the ioop to get to a destination which can be reached by foot in
the course of several hundred feet .
( A Resolution and Conditions o £ Approval would be prepared for a subsequent
meeting . )

South : Open Space
East : Commercial

iD . Site Characteristics : The 13 . 35 acre site is zoned for commerciai -
I manufactur ( ng uses , and is part ofi the Gateway Carporate Pl. aza .
� The site is vacant , and has peen rough graded . The site contaJns
, a 20 � landscaped slope from the south , east and west , comprisfng
' _ about 5 acres ot the site . The remainder of the site is relatively
level . Sewer and water - iine structures have been instailed on site .
The site has direct access to Copiey Drive firom the south , Gateway
Center Drive - Trom the north . and . Vailey Vista Driva from the west .
BAC%GROUND '
Gateway Corporate Center was approved by the County of Los
Angeles Board of Supervisors under a " Unilateral
Contract " procedure in 2985 . Under this procedure , ihe zone
changed to Commercial - Manufacturing tCM ) ( which allows for
unlimited height , a floor area. ratio of 13 times the net
buildab2e sife area and a wide range of commercial and
industrial uses ) which were further restricted through CC &
R ' s which were recorded with the zoae change . The CC & R ' s
incorporate design guidelines by reference , which establish
height limits ( from 9 stories7 and narrow the range of uses .
( There have been subsequent changes in the CC & R ' s and the
design guidelines ) .
Additionally built into the unilateral contract , is the
provision that any revision of the CC&R ' s is to be approved
by the governing authority , now the City Council of the City
of Diamond Har . The City Council assumed this role from the
Hoard of Supervisors upon incorporation and in October 1989 ,
. the City Council adopted Resolution No . 89 - 104 ratifying and '
reconfirming design guide2ines 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 [ he center must be in accordance with all
applicable state and local laws such as CEQA , and local
codes .
The subdivision of this parcel is not accompanied by any
development project . This procedure of subdividing without
the ab'ility to review futuze development strategies has in
the past created concern bqfstaff . Planning Commission , and
the City Council . In the case of this appiication , the single
parcei wiil become 12 independent sites which may or may not
be developed in Sandem with adiacent .lots so that it may 6e
dif £ icult to coordinate design , land use and site access . If
the cuzrent developmeni throughout Gateway can be vzewed as
an indication of the future development , the ezterior
architectural features may not be consistenf .
The controls currently in place require the Gateway
Architectural Reviem Committee to perform the review . of all
development projects . For this suhdivision appl .ication , the
design review committee approved the parce2 map as submiiLed .
Presumably , by virtue of resolution 89 - 104 , development
progosals would be reviewed by both the City and Gateway ' s
design review committee in accordance with the Gateway
' Corporate Center design guidelin.es . The guidelines also
state ihat any building which ezceeds 5 stories • or 75 feet in .
height is subject to a Conditional Use Permit . It would also _
appear that the design guidelines would provide the basis for
project evaluations unless the City were to adopt more '
restrictive regulations .
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Although the design guidelines regulate developmeni within
the Gateway Corporate Center , cizcumstances have changed in
the overall area since project impacts were origi. nally
evaluated in the December 1982 E . I . R .
I
Aside from changes in project impacts which may occur wit $ in
the site as a result of approvai of the parcel map the
cumulative impacts of changes in surrounding areas ( e . g .
types and intensity of development , traffic , changes in the
circulaTion system ) may also alter the anticipated _
environmental impacts .
If the Commission feels that circumstances warrant updated
information on the project as a whole , then iY is suggested
that a supplemental E . I . R . be prepared which would address
these issue before action is taken on the parcel map .
i If a supplemental E . I . R . is to be prepared , i [ is also
� suggested that the Commission identify those issues it feels
need to be addressed as par [ of the supplemental E . I . R .
If the Commission determines that the information is adequate
for a decision and wishes to approve the Parcel Map , then it
should direct siaff to prepare conditions to be presented at
the next Commission meeting .

Dear Mr . Keener , i
- The following may be helpful as you prepare material for the in -
formal discussion with the Planning Commission at 5 : 00 pm on Au-
gust 13 , 1990 . Based upon the July 23 , 1990 , Planning Commission
conments , the August 13 discussion should provicle the Conmission
with the infornation they need to fully understand the Gate:aay
Corporate Cen� er Project as it might develop under the existing
Council resolution , as well as , the implications of such develop -
� ment to the City . This is particularly true since the Center , as
originally conceived and the impacts as evaluate3 in 1981 , annear
to be substantially different from the project as currently con -
te*aplated . ,
Although there is no prescribed format for how this might be ac -
complished , you may wish to address the following issues which are
of concern :
1 . Describe the types of uses and quantity of. development which
could occur if Gateway Corporate Center were built to its
ultimate capacity .
2 . How is the current � lan for the Center different from the
project which was described and evaluated in the final EIR
which was certified in 1981?
3 . How will the project imnacts differ from those contemplated
in the final EIR?
4 . Taking into consideration some of the major changes which may
not have been anticipated in the original EIR ( e . g . opening
of Grand Avenue , proposed Chino Hills Development , proposed
Santa Fe Industrial Park , etc . . . . ) , what wi11 the overall
( i . e , cumulative ) impact be on those Diamond Bar streets and
Freeway ramps in the area likely to be af £ ected by Gateway .
Corporate Center Development .

5 . There were comments made at the July 23 meeting to the ef £ ect
that the anticipated development would be substantially less
intense than is pernitted under the CG &R ' s . Since the eity ' s
Resolution add=esses only the CC&R ' s , the assumption is that
the deveZopment rights for the Center extend to the limits of
the CC&� ' s . Accordingly , the evaluation of nroiect imnacts
should assume the fu11 intensitv of develoDment tie*-mitted
under the CC &R � s . If this is not to be the case , alternate
development assumntions should be clearly identiiied . ;
I would like to reiterate that Gatewau Corporate Center is ex -
tremely imnortant to the future of Diamond .Bar , not only sn te �s .
of i�s contribution to the economic well -being oz the Community , '
but ior its contribution to the Qualitg oi Community design and
the image the City wi11 project . .
Ecrually imporant , however , is the City ' s ability to anticipate
and accommodate the imnac�s of develonment of this nagnitude , par -
ticularly a� 'this crucial point in Diamond Bar ' s history , as �he
City tries to gain control over its des�iny .
Than:c you again for offering to provide the Planning Co:nnission
the in � or;�ation they need to nake reasoned and resnonsible deci -
I � sior. s , oarticularly since this is a project of such nagni 'tude and
� imnor�ance . At . your reauest , I have set 3 : 00 pm aside on �ugusc 9
� to review your presentation .
Ple�se call ii you have any cruestions .

CENTERi
The Traffic and Transportation Committee at their meeting of 7 - 12 -
90 reviewed the subject project . The Committee and staff recommend
the following conditions be included if the Planning Commission
approves the proposed subcYivision :
1 . To provide a traffic report prepared by a registered traffic
engineer which examines the new impacts relative to the
original densities and projected capacities to demonstrate
that the new subdivision is in conformance with the potential
impacts of the entire development .
2 . To increase the street widths to 36 feet curb to aurb which
would then mean a 46 feet right of way dedication is required .
In addition , a 5 foot public utility easement on each side of
the street is required . '
3 . The street which intersects Gateway Center Drive poses a
probelem with the sight distance and curvalinear orientation .
Staff ' s recommendation is ' to cul-de- sac the street and provide
an emergency access road of 2o feet in width for the fire and
sheriff ' s departments with restricted access to the public by
means of some barricade moveable by emergency agencies .
4 . A pedestrian plan may be required to provide for pedestrian
access to the south . Also , a meanderinq sidewalk should be
considered to create an enhanced pazkway along the proposed
streets .
5 . A bus turn out Paczlity is also required .

D . S3te Characteristics : The 4 . 39 acre sfte is zoned fior commercial -
manufiacturing uses , and is part ofi the Gateway Corporate Center .
The site currently contains a 2 - story offiice building . The site
has been Iandscaped with some street trees but contains no other
significant flora or fiauna . The site has had extensive grading and
notable surface and subsurfiace construction ( sidewalks , parkways
and sewer structures ) . The site has direct access to Vailey Vista
Drive . .
ANALYSIS
Gatewaq 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
incorporafion 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 musi be in accordance wiYh 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 wi12 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 loi splii is xelatively insignificant individua22y 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
developmeni capaciYies .

Tfeas��e� Dear Mr , Searcy :
LEGAL COUNSEL: �
H. JessSenecal A review of the referenced project presents no unusual �
problem with serving water to the proposed
subdivision . 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 .
If you or the developer have any guestions regardinq
this project please call the undersigned .
Very truly yours ,

Gentlemen:
Variance No. 90•0054: Subdivision No. 90-0041
17te County Sanitation Di�tricts received Notices of Preparation of an Znizfal Study Repon for the
subject projects on May 2 and May 11, 1990. The Sanitation Districts have no objection to the projects as
proposed. The proposed developmenu 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 handte the eapected flow, or will be
espanded in the future to meet the community's needs.
2. The Sanitation Districts are empowered by the Califomia 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 eacpansions of the Sewetage System to accommodate the proposed
projects which will mitigate the impact of these projeczs on the present Sewerage System. Payment
of connection fees wi11 be required before permits to connect to the sewer are issued.
If you have any further questions, piease contact the undetsigned at (213) 699-7411, eartension 2709.
Very truly yours,

SUBIECT :
Environmental Assessment Conditional Use Permit , and Development Review
90 - 0070 : This application is a request for approval to construct a
restaurant approximately 9000 sq . ft . with a capacity not to exceed 285
persons in Gateway Corporate Center .
APPLICANT :
A.R Investments
1135 S . Sunset St .
West Covina . CA 91790
RECOhtA4EI3DAT I ON :
Staff recommends thaY the Planning Commission consider all the data ,
input , and elements of the � nvironmental Assessment , Conditional Use
Permit and Development Review 90 - Q� 070 and issue a Mitigated Negaiive
Declaration and grant the C. onditional Use Permit ( CUP ) and Development
Review as submitted revised .
I . PROIECT AAID SITE DESCRIPTION :
A . Reauested 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 and participated in the First - STop Review prior
to finat design and submission to the Planning Department .
IS . ANALYSIS :
A . Generai
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 sYructures , comprises 44 percent of the total
site while landscapirig and open space consume the remaining
55 percent of tlie site . With this configuration , the site
cannot be subdivided into two lots under the current
landscaping and l. ot coverage ( 50 per unif maximum ) standards
imposed by the Gateway Design Guidelines .
The restaurant would conYain 9065 sq . ft . of interior space
and a maximum occupancy of 2m5 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 Zoni. np. .
Site - Zone C - � - BE - U / C ; Commercial Manufacturing Zone ,
Billboard Exclusion , Unilateral Contract : Vacant . graded 2 . 5
acre lot . Community Plan Designation Commercial .
NORTHc Golden Springs Avenue and Pomona Freeway / Orange
Freeway Interchange .
EAST : Zone C - � - BE - U / C ; Developed with the Days Inn Hotel .
SOUTH : Zone C - M - BE - U / C ; VacanY 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 tYie 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 Yhe
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 witl� the
setback , lot coverage , height ( approximately 8m ' from
bottom of retaining wall to ridgeline ) , parking ,
landscaping . si. gnage , and architectural deaign , features ,
and materials .
2
Traffic and internal circulation : A traffic report was
not required as part of the appiication as this use i. s
allowed as a matter of righY 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 .
Liehtin : Lighting will be provided in the parking area
as shown on the site plan . Additional lighting is [ o be
provided along the access to the hotel and also ax� ound
the perimeter of the rnezzanine acress .
Si � na � e : Staff is not in accord with the project ' s use
of banners and flags ( refer to sheet A - 2 ) as proposed by
t: he applicant . The flags and banners would be located
aUove the roof line and in the rear of the restaurant on
the Wa11 facing Golden Springs Avenue .
Parkin ¢ : The parking provided exceeds the required
numUer 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 .
Comuatibilitv : The final EIR for Gateway Corporate
Center i. denYified 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 .
TII . 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 hi. storic districtss 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 wi11 not
create traffic or pedesfrian 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 ati: ractive
development conYempiated 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 o £
materials , texture and color that will remain aesthetical. ly
appealing and will retain a reasonably adequate level of '
maintenance .
E . The proposed developmenY will not be detrimental to the public
health , safety or welfare or maYerially injurious to the
properties or improvements in the vicinity .
COAICLU� I ON :
l . The application assumes that the mezzaninetpatio 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 tapproximately II
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 i �i a manner
which could allow a lot split at some iime in the future , although
the Gateway Corporate Center guidelines currently in effecY would
severely restrict additional development . Recognizing the
possibility , however , the Commission may wish to condition approval
of tkie restaurant on no further division of the parcel for the life
of the restaurant .

Norman R. Mtyake �
r�eas��e, Our office has reviewed the plans for the two above
LEGALCOUNSEL: CdjJt10122C2 projects , Your attention should be drawn to ��
H. Jess se�ec�i a previous letter we sent regarc3zng 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 pressute 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 propetty .
Under the check list for the Marriott Hotel we would
contend that item # 9A should iae checked " yes " due to
the large increase of water and power usage compared
to the previous use .
Tf you should have any questions please give me a
call .
Very truly yours ,
WALNUT VALLEY WATER DISTRICT

LEGA� COUNSE�: �
H. Jesssenecal A review of the site plan for the above referenced �.
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 .
Very truly yours ,

A . Recitals .
( i ) California Government Code Section 65864 provides ,
in pertinent part , as follows :
" The Legislature finds and declares that :
" ( a ) The lack of certainty in the approval
of development projects can result in a waste of
resources , escalate the cost of housing and other
developments to the consumer , and discourage
investment in and commitment to comprehensive planning
which would make maximum efficient utilization of
resources at the least economic cost to the public .
" ( b ) Assurance to the applicant for a development
project that upon approval of the project , the applicant
may proceed with the project in accordance with existing
policies , rules and regulations , and subject to
conditions of approval , will strengthen the public
planning process , encourage private participation in
comprehensive planning , and reduce the economic costs of
development . . . . "
( ii ) California Government Code Section 65865 provides ,
in pertinent part , as follows :
"Any city . . . , may enter into a development
agreement with any person having a legal or equitable
interest in real property for the development of such
property as provided in this article . . . . "
( iii ) California Government Code Section 65865 . 2
provides as follows :
" A development agreement shall specify the duration
of the agreement , the permitted uses of the property ,
the density or intensity of use , the maximum height and
size of proposed buildings , and provision for
reservation or dedication of land for public purposes .
1
The development agreement may include conditions , terms ,
restrictions and requirements for subsequent
discretionary actions , provided that such conditions ,
terms , restrictions and requirements for subsequent
discretionary actions shall not prevent development of

development set forth in the agreement . . . . "

To the Maxors and Council Members of All Cities �
in the South Coast Air Basin
On June 28, 1990, the South Coast Air Quality Nlanagement District held its second
meeting of the month in A.A. McCandless Auditorium at District Headquarters,
9150 F1air Drive, El Monte, California. Additionally, this Board Summary outlines
the July 6, 1990 meeting that was also heid at District Headquarters. The following
report highiights the most relevant actions of both meetings.
June 28, 1990 Meeting ,
Board Hears Renort on the Eftects of Malathion Soravine
At the April 6 Board meeting, Supervisor Harriett Wieder had requested staff to
examine the air quality issues pertaming to the medfly eradication program and
prepare a report to the Board. "I'his report included a status aeport on the activities
of the Department of Health Services' Malattuon Task Force, as well as
information on the interaction of malathion and criteria pollutanu. The
recommendations and conciusion from this report were that although the pesticide
is mixed with an insect bait and applied in large droplets, monitoring data mdicate
that portions of the material are detected in ambient air after the spray episodes as
a result of volatilizauon. The amount of pesticide in the air ap ars to increase with
increasing ambient temperatures. As the malathion is oxidize�the proportion of
the pesticide mix that is detectable as malaoxon (considered more toxic than
malathion) increases. Preliminary results indicated that ozone levels may increase
tre ar.:�s:: ^: pesiicd� ^ ,�::��? te *^=.���z��. er?�;�ena1 d2ta, m�t �ae *eeiewPd
to determine the dose of this pesticide (includ'ug malaoxon) that could be received
via inhalatioa However, the levbls at which malathion would be acutely toxic
appear to be several orders of magnitude higher than doses that would be received
from spray applications. District staff will continue to work with the Public Health
Effects Advisory Committee to address exposure assessment and other unresolved
issues regarding the potential heaith impacts of aerial malatkuon application. A
compleie copy of this report is available by contacting the District's Public
Inforination Center at 818/572-6283.
Board Appmves Amea�ded Reaulation XIII - New Source Review: and.Rule 212 -
Standards for Approving,permits
The Boazd voted in favor of District staffs recommendation for amendments to
Regulation XIII to comply with current State law, the Disuict's Air Quality
Management Plan and the Califomia Clean Air AcK. The key provisions of the
amended regulation are the establishment of specific air quality goals in Rule 1301 ;
RECEIVED AUG 0 2 1990
��� . -z-
��� � .
�. the establishment of a tracking system to determine compliance with the Rule 1301
� � � .go�,ls; and the inclusion of an automatic mechanism in Proposed Amended • � ',
> Rule 1310 which makes the regulation more stringent if the emission reduction
� goals aze not met. Extensive public testimony centered on requests for ciarification
„� of technical language and on the impact of the proposed amendmenu.
�� ,� `'�Consequently, compromise language pertaining to the automatic mechanism opuons
i�;was presented by staff and approved by the Board.
t
""� Additionally, amendments to Rule 212 - Standazds for Approving Permits were
� approved to maintain the current pubiic nodce procedures and to remove the
conditional pernut to construct provisions for resource recovery projects, which had
� �:�; only been used rivice in the past three years. Therefore, it was further approved that
`"k,�� . ' Rule 213 - Standards for Permits to Construct: Air Quality Im�acts be rescmded. .
�' This rule, and the other rules associated with ii, apply to pernut applications
submitted prior to July 1, 1979. They were, therefore, no longer applicable.
Board Rescinds Rules 203 1 - Spscial Permit Provisions• Rule 203.2 - Eli '�i ili o[
Comnensatory Emissions Reductions• Rule 204 1 - Soecial Permit Conditions• Rule
273 . 4tandard� for Permits to Operate• Rule 213.2 - De£nitions for Rules 213 and
213. 1: and Rule 213.3 - Additionai Standards for Permits to Construci and Operate ,
The above rules sei forth preconstruction review requirements for new, modified or
relocated facilities to ensure that the operation of such facilities did not interfere
with progress in attainment of national ambient air quality standards, and that
future well planned ewnomic growth within the District is not unnecessariiy
I restricted. They were rescinded because the new Regulation XIII superceded them.
Board Apymves Amendments to Rule 1136(bl(31 (cl - Wood Products Coating and '
Rule 1151 (c) f3) - Motor Vehicle and Mobile EQuioment Non-Assembl�Line
I Coatin�Operatians
The approved amendments authorize the Executive Officer to allow the use of
additional types of equipment to clean paint spray guns, if that equipment is equally
effective in uunimizing Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions as those rypes
explicitly allowed in the rule. Additionally, the approved amendments will
encourage the development and use of alternauve devices wluch are equally or
more effective than those aiready allowed: ;
July 6, 1990 Meeting _

Board Approves Legislative Recommendations
The Boazd approved support for the following legislation: SB 907 (Vuich) would,
comm�ncing with the 1992 model year, provide for 10 percent reduction in the �
. vehicie license fee for low-emission motor vehicles. It would require every auto
dealer and lessor-reLailer to certify to the Department of Motor Vehicles whether a
new motor vehicle is a low-emission motor velucle. Violations of these
requirements would be a code infraction and subject to mone penalty.
SB 2330 (Killea) would enact a two-stage Air Resources Boazd�ARB) program to
control diesel emissions in existing heavy-duty velucle fleets of 10 or more vehicles.
� By July 15, 1992, the ARB would be required to adopt regulations that require fleet
operators to perform regulaz inspections for excessive smoke emissions and
implement specific remedies for vehicles exceeding smoke emission standazds.

Reflort on the Clean Air Act • •- � '
Leon Biliings, the District'S federal legislative consultant, annpunced. thaL the
prospecu for a pood Clean Air Act are dimmer because of the numberof Hotise
conferees appotnted to negotiate with the Senate on a compromise bill.
Additionaliy, the differences between House and Senate bills azc so numerous that
like "ships in the rughc" they may well not be able to resolve them Mr, Bi11ings'
pointed out that there is limited time for the Districi to influence the political
process because the Fail elections are coming up and only six working weeks remain
before the Congress recesses for the campaigns. Chairman Dingell wac identified as
being the key player in passing a Clean Air Act. Billings noted that politicai
pressure should be focused on Dingeil to neutralize his considerable clout over the
legisiative process.

DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION
MINUTES OF MAY ' 14 , 1990
MATTERS FROM THE PUBLIC :
Skip Burton , Contractor for homes in The Country Estates area. ,
Steve Faulk , Architect , stated that he has submitted plans to the
building department , wnich have been approved but are now waiting
for P7anning Department ' s approval . He has a cons � ruction loan and
is ready to pull permits . He , stated that he was told that the
PTanning Department could not accept the construction because now
the City of Diamond Bar is using different criteria than the County
of Los Angeles . The home he wishes to construct is similar to
other homes in The Country . To further delay th. is will be putting
a financial strain on himself because the construction period has
already startad and there are limitations on the length of time a
developer has .
Sacretary Tarango stated that there have been 3 - story homes in the
Country aporoved by the County but the current code does not
appcove such a development ,
Mr . 8urton stated that the code identifies the Director of Planning
to have the authority to waive this requirement .
Mr . Curley stated that as a policy procedure , Mr . Tarango has made
a decision and now the proper procedure is for the applicant to
file an appeal to the Planning Directors decision . The Planning
Director has made the finding that the proposed development does
not conform to the currant code , and thereby can not be approved
by the Planning Department and the zpplicant is directed to file
a variance in order to appea7 this decision .
The Commission instructed the applicant that ihey could not make
a decision tonight due to the fact that it was not the scheduled
time for the variance to be heard and as a result they have not yet
received information pertaining to this Aroject .

DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION '
MINUTES OF MAY 14 , 1990
DISCUSSION ITEMS :
1 . Economic and Feasibiiitv / Fiscai Impact Checkiist .
The Planning Department has been asked to provide an Economic
Feasib � 7ity / Fiscal Impact Checklist to be used during the
review of development proposals . Because no economic
development po7ic � es have yet besn devised for the City ' s
General Plan , only a generic set of guidelines based on the
principTe of economic analysis can be provided at this time .
Secretary Tarango stated that at the previous Planning
Commission meeting . there were some concerns regarding some
hotels and big projects in the City . The Commission directed
staff to create a checklist tnat will give the Commission
guideiines to go by .
Chairman Schey asked Larry Weissman , Associate P7anner , if he
had knowledge of at what point a economic feasibility anaiysis
should be required .
Mr . Weissman stated that this is treated as a matter or
dtscussion , basica77y this is set by the Planning Commission .
There are some cases where tne Director of the Department
might reGuire a feasibility study if a use of a particu7ar
piece of property isn ' t justified in the extent that it is not
probable that the project will be used for what the appiicant
is proposing . He does not know of any set or rules pertaining
to this issue of when and when not to require one .
- . Chairman Schey asked if it would be helpful for staff to have - - -
something Tike � his ?
Mr . Weissman stated that it would be a function of staff to
do feasibility analysis for each project as part of the
initial study . He feels that the checklist might be something
that provides the Commtssion with some basic direction in
terms of organizing thoughts .
Mr . Curley stated that his orfice has some concerns about
Section A which looks more towards the consormance of ihe
deve7opment . He handed out Section 15131 , part of the
Environmental CEQA Guidelines . The analysis is clearly
appTicabie from the Gity side , the effect on infrastructure ;
what burden will it put on the City , etc .
3
DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION
MINUTES OF MAY 14 , 1990
However , looking at it from the. likelihood of the success of '
the facility , is rea7ly outside the scope of both CEQA and the
landuse approval . The Commission will be looking at how the
project fits in with the environment not foreteiling whether
it is going to be an economic success .
Commissi. oner Grothe . stated that he did not find anything very
concrete or definitive as �o both when it is triggered or what
the resu7ts are .
Mr . Weissman stated that determining the break even point ,
determihing how much money does the _project have to generate
in order to be feasible , usually is a matter between the
developer and the agency providing the financing for the
project . When there is a project that comes in where the
app7icant is not ab7e to indicate who the project is going io
serve or where will they be coming from , then one might ask
for some kind of indication from the agency financing the
project that this particular project will attract a sufficient
number of people . From the Planning standpoint , the Planners
- wi17 focus in on whether or not the basics are there for the
proposed business . They are more interested in the
demographics rather than the fina� ces . The P7anning
Department would be interested in knowing how many people are
needed to patronize this project in order for it to be
successful , and then Planning would identify whether or not
the population is capabie of providing this number of patrons
and whether the project is accessible by this population , how
many other projects are there in the area , will there be
enough demand to support the project in addition to the other
developments that might be existing . There also might be
cases when projects and the financing notwithstanding , the
Commission might have questions as to whether anyone will
actually use the project and this would be a time when a
feasibility analysis would be re4uired . He was not aware of
any ordinances covering how the feasibility study should be
conducted or how to determine fisca7 impacts . There ara C �QA
guidelines that deal with how the land will be impacted by the
growth .
Vice Chairman Harmony stated that this issue was brought up
by the residents during the review of the hotel . He contacted
the county to find out what their stance was Rertaining to
this issue . The City ' s responses varied from not requiring
them to requiring them on every hotel project . He felt that
this issue should be given attention .
4
DIAMOND BAR PIANNING COMMISSION
MINUTES OF MAY 14 , 1990
Commissioner Grothe felt that they should be able to give
staff some direction or guidelines as to when they - would
require it and when they would not . This would help the
aAPlicants so that they don ' t get involved in the project and
then find out one is required .
Chairman Schey asked Vice Chairman Harmony when he contacted
the different cities did Lhey indicate whether there was an
actual ordinance or policy that directed their decision . Vice
Chairman stated that the County did for any hotel with ? eSs
than 100 units .
Mr . Weissman suggested that through the deve7opment of ihe
General Plan , this might offer some direction as to when a
feasibitity study wouid be required .
Chairman Schey suggested that staffi keep this issue tn mind
when reviewing projects so as to when a project is submitted
where the feasibility is questionable , they might request a
feasibility study .
Z . Heiaht Standards and Limitations .
Staff feels that guidelines from the Commission will make
determining height standards easier . Mr . Searcy stated that
the current standards is an adoption of the unrevised version
of the Los Ang7es County standards . Some of the areas in
Diamond Bar have a topography that make conforming to the
existing code difficult . ror exampie a developer wants to
develop a house a certain size to make it profitabla based on
the cost of the land . If they cannot conform io the code , the
_ _
Diractor does not , because of that situation , have the power
to use his discretion in making a decision . There is also the
problem of usage of basements and cellars , The code states
that a residence may be constructed of 2 floors and a cellar .
A cellar is the bottom livable area with more than 50% undar
grade . A basement is defined as the oottom floor with more
than 50 % over grade . The county has revised their standards
to de7ete any re �Ference to stories . Staff feels that
maintaining the 35 foot height limit is within reason , without
using reference to the f7oors wi17 a17ow for greater
flexibility in architectural styling . The new County Code
deletes any reference to Director ' s approval for c2rtain types
of hardships . It states that if the applicant wants to
supersede the ordinance , the applicant must come before the
Commission and Council with a variance application . Staff
recommends that the City of Diamond Bar amend the existing
ordinanc so that it rerlects both components of the existing
and revised County of Los Angeles Ordinance .

Canyon Road and Lycoming Street .
4 , Preparation for Sian Ordinance .
Secretary Tarango statEd that this is an discussion item and
that staff plans to provide additional information at the June
25th Planning Commission meettng . Commissioner Schey stated
that he prefers to prepare a draft ordinance prior to holding
a public hearing on this item . The Planning Commissien

The parking under the bridge will be e7iminated and expanded '
in order to gain a left turn pocket at this location and doing
the same on the other side in order to turn left onto Colima
going south . This will result in linking all three
intersections together .
Chairman Schey asked Mr . • Kranzer if it would be feasible ,
given the left turn pocket , to create a raised median .
Mr . Kranzer stated that this would be feasible but wou7d
create a physical barrier restricting cars to turn into the
sites along the street . He did ttot feel that this would be
a problem . Requiring double iines migh "t be implemented if
there is a problem with cars entering into the pre- school
parking lot . Mr . Kranzer watched the traffic at this
intersection this morning and only 1 car turned into this
location .
Mr . Tarango stated that an eight ( 8 ' J foot wa77 might invite
graffiti and suggested considering the possibility of
integrating iandscaping into this wali .
Motion was made by Chairman Schey and seconded by Vice
Chairman Harmony to approve Zone Change 90 - 0036 and

Zone C3 - DP ( Uniimited Commercial with a Development Program

Brea Canyon Road .
Mr . Searcy listed some of Lhe items that needed to be
addressed . McDonalds submitted their sign program in addition
to the tota7 project sign program . Page 2 of staff report
contains both the parking calculations in Section E and the
freestanding sign information in Section F . Their provided
parking exceeds the required parking by 20 spaces . Within
this calculation , does not include any of the parking which
may be provided in the 2 1 / 2 story parking structu.re . This
the existing parking on - site now reflective of transferring
some ofi Lhe storage and display of cars to the parking
structure and the addition of the parking within the
additional 4 parcels . Based upon �ne frontage that is allowed
for this type of a center , the applicants are allowed a
maximum signage of i , 620 square feet possible . At tnis time
they are proposing a total of 898 square feet , There has been
an addendum to the traffic report submitted to the Traffic
Engineer for his comments which are included in the agenda
package . There has been 2n addendum to the line of sight
which refiects the distance from which one can see every major
structure on the site and also the signage which is also
included in the agenda package . Addit9onal7y , there was a
concern voiced at the last meeting about noise produced and
how it would impact the structures on - site . _ The noise _ , _ _ .
produced by the car wash is less than the current noise
produced by the Freeway during various time periods throughout
the day . One oT the conditions was tMe � nclusion of certain
sound barriers built into the structures that are proposed on -
site . The car was will not in any way increase the production
of sound existing at that site .

used cars or customers ' cars being serviced . empToyee
vehicles and cars larger than compact size will probably be

Mr . Curley stated that in the body of the ordinance there is
reference to a proposed future office site . He recommended
deletion of the statement . This pad will have to come back
before the Commission for review , to designate it as a future
office site will only confuse issues in the future .
Motion was made by Commissioner Grotne and seconded by
Commissioner Lin to adopt the project as recommended by staff
including the deletion or any reference to Parcel No . 4 and
the regulation that the monument sign be no higher than 25
feet above the closet adjacent curb on Grand Avenue and that
Parcel 4 be landscaped and main 'tained on Parcel No . 4 , and
the recommendations by the Traffic Engineer .
An amendment was made by Vice Chairman Harmony and seconded
by Chairman Schey to eliminate the tower structure attached
to the proposed McDonalds Restaurant .
Commissioner Grothe stated that this will put the top of the
McDonalds Restaurant at about 10 feet above street level and
thus the sign at street level . He felt that this building
gave the project an architectural step down into the buildings
as a whole . -
Chairman Schey stated that his concern was that the tower did
not look proportional io the building .
The applicant brought forth the model of the project again so
that the Commission could look at the tower proposed fior the
McDonalds restaurant . The applicant stated thaL they felt the
tower was necessary due to thz fact that patrons traveling on
Grand can not see the pylon signs . The McDonalds pad
elevation is below the street levei .

reviewing the model .

D . SITE CHak.� GTERISTICS :
The rectan ;' ula. r site is appro �. imately one ( 1 ) acre
in size . The net buildable area is ver � limited due
to the topography of the lot . The lot drops from
the street at a 2 : 1 ratio for . approximately 10 to �
15 feet then taper � somewhat more gently for a
short distance . At appro :iimately 20 to 25 feet from
the front property � ine the lot be � ins to slope
dramatically into a ravine of oak trees and scrub
brush . The lot possesses approsimately 185 ' of
frontage on Rusty Spur Rd and the SFR is designed
to conform to esistin � setback requirements of the
City and also to relevant CC &R ' s .
II . ANALYSIS :
A . General : The application is to construct a � , 500
square foot SFR on a lot that requires considerable
grading in order to create a pad for a residence of
this size . Use of a retainin� wall will be
necessary at each elevation except the front , in
order for the pad to be created . In the grading
phase , to achieve this pad , 5 e � isting oak trees
will have to be removed .
Diaring the initial plot plan review stage , the
� PPlicant was notified tna 't the submitted design
exceeded the City ' s hezgh � and floor reqccirements .
The applicant redesigned the residence but the
redesi � n is three full floors and is also � 1 ' above
average finished � rade . The applicant requested the
Director to administratively approve the
application based on topography , other existing SFR
residences in The Country of similar desi � n , and
the � eveloper ' s need to masimize profit on the
pro ,j ect .
The Director declined to approve the request based
on the standards set forth in the ordinance . The
applicant then exercised the variznce procedure in
order to appeal the denial .
In processin �' the applicant ' s initia. l study� , the
applicant stated no oa4 trees were located on the
site . St .� ff , based on the inf' ormation provided by
the zpplicant , issueci a Notice of Intent to f' ile a
Ne � ative Declaration . Durin � an additional site
review , staff identified oak trees on tne site
locate �l in areas that were likely to be impacted by
subsequent decelopment of tne site . The trees were
cerified as oak trees py the Director oY Part; s and
�laintenance , i: narles Janie � . T :�e applic �a.nt was
notified that an oak tree DermiY wo �il. ci be reciuir � d
for t. he project , at which time an Oak Tree Fermit
application was submitted to the Plannin �' Dept .
ihat applia� tion , submitted Jttne 1 -� , 19a0 , is
currently being processed .
B . Concerns : Compliance caith development standards and
goals of the proposed General Plan , esthetics and
compatibiiity with surroundinb land uses , and
coexistin � with natural habitat with minimal '
environmental impacts .
Compliance to development standards / General Plan :
The current code does not allow for the '
construction of a residence in Zone R - 1 to exceed .
two ( 2 } floors and a cellar or one floor above a
basement . Currently the hei � ht determination is
under reviecv b � the Pl �znning Commission . The
standards which are beinn created would provide for
a three floor residence but the hei5' ht limit of 35 '
above avera � e finished grade will remain
consistent � The residence , caith the current desi � n ,
would e � ceed the 35 ' hei � ht limit .
Com� atibility : The proposed residence is similar to
other residences in The Countr ,y . In the past , man ,�
projects were approved throush Los An �' eles County
Regional P � annin � that would not be approved under
current interpretations of the zoning ordinance .
In the immediate vicinity of the Proposed project ,
there are no residences that exceed the
requirements of the zonin� ordinance . Al1 the
residences in the vicinity , including the residence
current2y tender construction , are two floors and a
cellar .
The pro ,ject is a low intensity use that will
generate heavy equipment trafi' ic durin� the
construction phase of the pro ,ject . The eonstrtiction
equipment is limit � d to hours of operati � n between
hours of '7 : (l0 am to 6 : 00 pm . The proposed pro .ject
will create sound esceedin� the current levels , 6ut
only durin ;' the construction phase of the pro .ject .
Limiti_ na� ue � ative im� acts to the exi5tin � habitat_
There are numerous protected oak trees on the
pro .ject site and are to be protected under the
Cit �r ' s Oak Tree ordinance , any construction th :nt
affects ,an oak tree , ihrou � h encroachment into the
dripline , root system , or actual removal of the
tree , must receive prior revie �v and approval .
The miti � .� Lion me .� sures ir. clLide replacer.ient r1t a
ratia of at least 2 : 1 or relocation of' affEct � d
trees on site . Additionally , the area extendin7
five ( h ) feet besond the dripline must be fenced
during anT �' radind in order to maintain the
integrity of the root system . ��.
ITI . FACTS OF FINDINGS :
l . That because of special circumsta,nces or eYceptional '
characteristics applicable to the property , the strict
applicatzon of the code deprives such property of the
privileges enjoyed by other propert ,y in the vicinity and
under identical zonin � classification ; and
2 . That the adjustment authorized will not constitute a
grant of special privile ' e inconsistent with the
limitations placed upon other properties ir_ the vicinity
and zone in whzch the property is situated ; and
3 . That strict application of zonin� reg' ulations as they
apply to such pro �perty will result in practical �
difficulties or unnecessar ,y hardships inconsistent with
the general purpose of such re � ulations and stand � rds ;
and
� . That such ad ,justment will not be materially
detrimental to the public health , safety or �' ener � I
welTare , or to the use , en ,joyment or vaivation of
property of other persons locatec3 in the vicinity .
IV . CORRESPONDENCE : -
This item has been advertised in the San Gabriel Tribtine
and ProQress Bulletin newspapers as a public hearing .
Votices have been sent to property owners within a 700
foot radius of pro .ject site �
V . RECOMMENDATION :
Staff recommends that the Plannin �' � ommission Consider
all the data , input and elements of Variance 90 - 005 � and
delay final action until such time that the Oak Tree
Permit has been adequately processed . Additi. onail ,y ,
issuance of a Neaative Declaration should oceur fol :Lotair.�'
