architectural committee for approval. However, staff’s report indicates this
project has not yet been approved by the committee and she asked if it was

scheduled for review. AP/Nakajima explained that it is often submitted
concurrently and perhaps the applicant can enlighten the Commission on
the status.
Chair/Barlas opened the public hearing.
Pete Volbeda, Architect, spoke about the project and explained that he runs
process plan concurrently through the City and the HOA so that he can
apply any changes to both sets of plans at the same time. He expects to
hear from the HOA within the next two weeks.

AP/Espinoza presented staff’s report and recommended Planning
Commission approval of Development Review No. PL2019-55, based on
the Findings of Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed
within the draft resolution.
C/Rawlings stated that in the spirit of full disclosure, one of the neighbors
met him out front to ask a couple of questions which started him thinking
about whether there were any proposals to remove trees between the
homes. AP/Espinoza stated that there was no proposal to remove any trees,
only a proposal to re-landscape the front of the property.
Chair/Barlas opened the public hearing.
Aiko, 340 N. Platina and neighbor to the property under consideration asked
about the estimated construction timeline because when she asked the
owner she was told two to three months which she did not believe was
achievable. She has a tree in her front yard that may conflict with the
second story on the construction site depending on which plan the
Commission approved and wanted to confirm that she would not be asked
to cut any of her trees. In addition, she feels the second story will be very
close to the large window in her master bedroom and asked if the applicant
might be allowed to change from Plan A to Plan B.
Clark Menace, Decorah Road, said he did not appreciate this project
because he felt it would clutter the neighborhood and result in other similar
projects and the streets would be blocked and it would ruin his view. He is
opposed to this project and felt that if the applicant wanted a bigger house
he should sell his one story house and find a bigger house to buy.
Anthony Quijano lives in the house directly behind the proposed project and
would not approve of this construction because it would block the view from
his house and would depreciate the value of the property.
Chair/Barlas closed the public hearing.
C/Mahlke said that page 7 of 9 of staff’s report states that the property owner
attempted to contact the neighbors to the north, south and east of the
project to review the plans and obtain support. The neighbors to the north
4.1
Packet Pg. 11
______________________________________________________________________
SEPTEMBER 10, 2019 PAGE 6 PLANNING COMMISSION
______________________________________________________________________
and east expressed their support for the project, but what was just stated
by Mr. Quijano (property to the east) did not support the project.
AP/Espinoza said she spoke with the property owner when she was writing
the staff report and was told by the property owners that they went to the
properties to speak to their neighbors, and according to the property owner,
they received verbal support from the neighbors. However, the property
owners are not present to confirm. C/Mahlke noted for the record that the
neighbors in the audience were shaking their heads vehemently indicating
that was not true.
C/Rawlings said he was personally concerned about a couple of things and
since the applicant is not present, he would hesitate to make a decision
based on the information the Commission has at this point. He wondered
about options for continuance of this matter to attempt to have all parties
including the property owner present to respond.
VC/Farago asked if staff could clarify the ordinance with respect to
obstruction of views or a resident’s rights to a view.
AP/Espinoza stated that the property located to the east (rear of the project
site) is located approximately 18 feet above the finished grade of the
existing home on the project site. The existing house is 13 feet tall and with
the proposed edition, the house will be 23 feet tall. When the applicant
originally presented this project, they proposed the addition to be located
on the east side which would have impacted the neighbor’s complete view.
So, staff directed the applicant to relocate the addition toward the north side
to account for a “slot” view for the neighbor located to the east (rear of the
project). While the design guidelines indicate that property owners can
have slot views - they will not always be able to have panoramic views.
C/Mahlke asked if it was true the Commission could not base a decision on
whether or not it would preserve a neighbor’s view because there is no
guarantee of that view as long as there is still some view available.
CDD/Gubman stated that the view protection provisions in the Municipal
Code and Design Guidelines acknowledge that views are an important
attribute to residential properties in Diamond Bar, but it also expressly states
that no resident is perpetually entitled to an unobstructed panoramic view
and that there are going to be projects that will partially obstruct views. As
AP/Espinoza indicated, staff worked with the applicant to redesign the
structure to retain as much of the neighbor’s view as can be done given the
relative positioning of the lots and structures built upon them.

VC/Farrago said that it looks to him like there is a tree in front of the yellow
box to the rear of the subject property that is approximately 23 feet high and
is blocking the view of the neighbor to the east. Based on past projects,
when there has been something of significance interfering with the view, the
applicant has been asked to put a pole fram ing the addition so that
Commissioners could visit the site to see what kind of impact the project
might present. AP/Espinoza responded that story poles could be done.
C/Rawlings stated that at this point he would probably abstain because he
is not comfortable with his knowledge about how th is would impact the
neighbors and having story poles would be very helpful. Chair/Barlas said
it made sense to her as well and has been done for other projects.
CDD/Gubman said that if the Commission needs that information to make
an informed decision and to consider the concerns expressed this evening,
it is within the Commission’s purview to continue the matter and direct the
applicant to install story poles or actual field mockup to provide an
opportunity for the Commission to see what the basic envelope of the
building addition would be.
C/Mok said that theoretically, the Commission could request the property
owner and applicant to put up some story poles to allow the Commission to
see how the outline of the addition would affect the view. Suppose the
applicant and property owner refused to do so because they did not want to
pay the cost and if that were to occur, how long would it delay the project?
CDD/Gubman said it would delay the project at least until October 22, about
six weeks from now. The Commission has a full agenda coming up and it
will take time for the applicant/property owner to make arrangements to
have the story poles installed. The public hearing can be continued to
October 22nd or to a date uncertain and send out new meeting notices
accordingly. Staff’s recommendation would be that if the Commission
wished to continue the matter with the instruction to the applicant that the
Commission would like to see the story poles, that this matter be continued
to October 22nd and with continuance to that date, the item would not need
to be re-advertised because the item will be placed on the October 22 nd
agenda.
Chair/Barlas reopened the public hearing.

AP/Espinoza explained to the Commission that the only window on the
proposed 2nd story at 340 N. Platina facing the project is a bathroom
window.
C/Mahlke affirmed that the only plan under consideration by the
Commission for this item is the addition on the north side which means there
is a lesser view impact for the neighbors behind the project and less
potential window conflict all around. AP/Espinoza stated that C/Mahlke was
correct.

9. STAFF COMMENTS/INFORMATIONAL ITEMS:
9.1 Project Status Report.
CDD/Gubman reported that the Commission will now make up for having
the entire month of August off beginning with the next meeting on
September 24th during which there will be three public hearing items on the
agenda, including two residential projects (a new single family residence in
The Country and an addition in The Country) and a Conditional Use Permit
for an existing office building on North Diamond Bar Boulevard a couple of
doors south of Oak Tree Lanes and the auto center. The applicant is
proposing to enlarge their parking lot by cutting into the back slope to
accommodate more medical office tenants in the building. The September
24th meeting will be adjourned to September 25th for the first of two
scheduled joint City Council/Planning Commission Study Sessions to
introduce the General Plan document the City has been working on for the
past three years. The hope is to get everyone introduced to the documents
and provide as detailed an overview as possible and give the public an
opportunity to weigh in early in the process. There will be a public review
period that lasts for 45 days likely commencing at the end of this week and
staff wants to provide these study sessions so that when the Public
4.1

Project Description
Site Plan
As stated, the property’s gross lot area is 49,891 square feet (1.15 gross acres), which
includes a 30-foot wide private street easement for Derringer Lane along its frontage.
The property is a rectangular shaped lot and the property’s net buildable area
(i.e., minus the private street easement) is 45,633 square feet (1.05 acres).
The existing house is situated toward the front of the lot, approximately 21 feet from the
edge of the private street easement line. An existing three-car garage faces the front of
the property. The applicant is proposing to expand the garage by adding two tandem
parking spaces and a workshop. There is an existing driveway that leads to the existing
garage. The proposed project also includes a circular driveway at the front of the
property.
The proposed project includes rear yard improvements, including a swimming pool, spa,
covered patio and partial basketball court.
Grading Plan
The existing house is located on a steep descending slope that begins at the private
street easement. There is an existing 12-foot high retaining wall located below the
garage, that supports the existing building pad.
The applicant is proposing to cut 17 cubic yards o f soil toward the east side of the
property and fill 6,018 cubic yards of soil toward the rear of the property to expand the
existing building pad. The proposed earthwork requires 6,000 cubic yards of fill to be
imported to the site. Standard dump truck capacities range from 10 to 15 cubic yards,
so the proposed amount of import would require 400 to 600 total truck trips.

The applicant is proposing five 4-foot high retaining walls located at the rear of the
property to support a fill above the natural grade to create the building pads for the rear
yard improvements. All exposed portions of retaining walls will be stuccoed to match
the house.
Architecture
The applicant is proposing to change the architectural style to a contemporary
Mediterranean design, including features such as a low-pitched hipped roof style with
concrete s-tiles, decorative brackets that support wide overhanging eaves, decorative
arched windows on the first floor and rectangular windows on the second floor, wrought
iron railings throughout the house, and balustrade railings at the rear of the house. The
entryway includes an arch above the transom window above the entry door. Earth-tone
shades for the exterior finish are used to soften the building’s visual impact and assist in
preserving the hillside’s aesthetic value.

Landscape Plan
The applicant is proposing a variety of trees to be planted throughout the propert y,
including: 24-inch box olive and golden rain trees at the front of the property, and
various 15-gallon Aleppo pines and 24- and 36-inch box olive trees throughout the sides
and rear of the property. Additionally, various 5-gallon and 1-gallon shrubs that have a
variety of color, texture, and form are proposed throughout the street side and rear yard
slopes. Overall, landscaping consists of drought tolerant and non -invasive species to
minimize irrigation and reduce the area of turf. The project is requi red to comply with
the City’s Water Efficient Landscaping Ordinance, and compliance will be verified during
building plan check and final inspections.
The subject property is located within the Los Angeles County Fire Department “High
Fire Hazard Severity Zone.” Therefore, the proposed landscaping must comply with the
Fire Department’s Fuel Modification Plan requirements. The landscape plans will be
submitted for review and approval by the Fire Department during building plan check.
ANALYSIS
Review Authority
The proposed project requires two separate, but interrelated, land use approvals:
Development Review (DR) and a Minor Conditional Use Permit (MCUP). The analysis
that follows provides the basis for staff’s recommendation to approve the DR and MCUP
applications.
Development Review (DBMC Section 22.48)
Additions which are equal to or greater than 50 percent of the existing habitable floor
area of all existing structures on site, or substantially change the appearance of an
existing residence require Planning Commission approval of a DR application.
Development Review approval is required to ensure compliance with the City’s General
Plan policies and design guidelines, and to minimize adverse effects of the proposed
project upon the surrounding properties and the City in general.
As stated in Section 22.48.010 of the Development Code, the Development Review
process was established to ensure that new development and additions to existing
development are consistent with the General Plan “through th e promotion of high
functional and aesthetic standards to complement and add to the economic, physical,
and social character” of Diamond Bar.
Development Standards: The following table compares the proposed project with the
City’s development standards for residential development in the RR zone:

Minor Conditional Use Permit
An MCUP is required if a change or expansion of a nonconforming structure is greater
than 50 percent of the existing square footage of all structures on site, or if the addition
is not limited to the ground floor. Current development standards require a minimum
front setback of 30 feet from the house to the private street easement. The existi ng
residence has a nonconforming front setback of 21 feet, 2 inches to the private street
easement. The proposed addition is located at the front, rear and side of the house and
does not further encroach into the front setback.
The City recognizes that homeowners should be allowed to make appropriate
improvements to their properties, and reasonable accommodations should be made to
permit additions and alterations to nonconforming structures. The MCUP process is the
tool used to consider such accommodations, subject to the findings set forth in the
Development Code.
MCUPs are normally subject to approval of the City’s Hearing Officer (typically the
Community Development Director). However, because this MCUP is being reviewed as
part of a DR application, both land use entitlements are subject to review and approval
of the Planning Commission.
Staff believes that approving the MCUP as described above is appropriate and
compatible with other residences in the neighborhood, based on the following facts and
observations:
*Minor Conditional Use Permit is requested to allow the continuation of a nonconforming structure because the addition is
greater than 50 percent of the existing home. See MCUP discussion below.
7.1
Packet Pg. 23
Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. PL2018-157
Page 9 of 11
• The existing dwelling was built in 1979, prior to the incorporation of the City of
Diamond Bar;
• The proposed addition complies with the required rear and side setbacks and
distances to the adjacent properties, and does not further encroach into the
existing nonconforming 21-foot, 2-inch front setback; and
• Neighboring properties have nonconforming front setbacks, so the proposed
project will remain consistent with other homes within the neighborhood.
Compliance with Hillside Management Ordinance (DBMC Section 22.22)
The proposed project was reviewed for compliance with the City’s Hillside Management
Design Guidelines and regulations. The project complies with all of the regulations and
guidelines to ensure that development will complement t he character and topography of
hillside areas set forth in the Development Code, and incorporates the following
features:
• All proposed retaining walls associated with the building pads are at a maximum
exposed height of four feet;
• The project is terraced on split-level pads. From the street view, the building is a
two-story structure, but the rear of the building is four levels (including the
basement level); and
• Earth-tone building materials and color schemes are used that blend in with the
natural landscape.
The project complies with all of the regulations and guidelines to ensure that
development will complement the character and topography of hillside areas set forth in
the Development Code.
Compatibility with Neighborhood
The project is located between a two-story home to the north and a three-story home to
the south. The proposed addition will not be intrusive to neighboring homes since the
proposed addition will not block existing views from adjacent properties. The adjacent
homes to the north and south have views to the west and the house across the street to
the east has views to the east.
Although the applicant is adding 4,367 square feet of living space and 349 square -foot
garage addition, the house will be similar in mass and scale compare d to other existing
homes on similar lots in The Country. The architecture in The Country is eclectic and
includes a variety of architectural designs. The scale and proportions of the addition are
well balanced and appropriate for the site. In sum, the proposed project fits the
character of the neighborhood on which it is proposed.

• A gradual transition between the addition and existing residence is achieved
through appropriate setbacks, building height and window and door placement;
• Placement and relationship of windows, doors, and other window openings are
carefully integrated with the building’s overall design;
• Elevations are treated with detailed architectural elements;
• Proper screening for ground and roof-mounted equipment is architecturally
compatible with the dwelling in terms of materials, color, shape, and size and
blends in with the proposed building design; and
• The exterior finish materials and colors blend with the natural environment.

C. FINDINGS OF FACT
Based on the findings and conclusions set forth herein and as prescribed under Diamond
Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Sections 22.48, 22.56, and 22.68, this Planning Commission
hereby finds as follows:
Development Review Findings (DBMC Section 22.48.040)
1. The design and layout of the proposed development is consistent with the applicable
elements of the City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines, and development
standards of the applicable district, design guidelines, and architectural criteria for
special areas (e.g., theme areas, specific plans, community plans, boulevards or
planned developments).
The design and layout of the proposed addition consisting of 4,367 square feet of
living area, 349 square feet of garage area, 4,446 square feet of patio/deck area,
and 817 square feet of storage/mechanical room area to the front, side and rear of
an existing single-family residence is consistent with the City’s General Plan, City
Design Guidelines and Development Code standards. The mass and scale of the
addition are proportionate to the existing house and surrounding properties.
The proposed façade remodel incorporates contemporary Mediterranean
architectural elements such as a low-pitched hipped roof with concrete s-tiles,
decorative brackets that support wide overhanging eaves, decorative arched
windows on the first floor and rectangular windows on the second floor, wrought iron
railings throughout the house, and balustrade railings at the rear of the house, and
appropriate massing and proportion to meet the intent of the City’s Design
Guidelines.
7.1.a
Packet Pg. 28
3 PC Resolution No. 2019-XX
The project site is not part of any theme area, specific plan, community plan,
boulevard or planned development.
2. The design and layout of the proposed development will not interfere with the use
and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future development s, and will not create
traffic or pedestrian hazards.
The proposed addition will not interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring
existing or future developments because the use of the project site is designed for
a single-family home and the surrounding uses are also single -family homes.
The proposed addition will not interfere with vehicular or pedestrian movem ents,
such as access or other functional requirements of a single -family home because it
complies with the requirements for driveway widths and is a continuation of an
existing use.
3. The architectural design of the proposed development is compatible with the
character of the surrounding neighborhood and will maintain and enhance the
harmonious, orderly and attractive development contemplated by Chapter 22.48:
Development Review Standards, the City’s Design Guidelines, the City's General
Plan, or any applicable specific plan.
The project is located between a two-story home to the north and a three-level home
to the south. The proposed addition will not be intrusive to neighboring homes since
the proposed addition will not block existing views from adjacent properties because
the adjacent homes to the north and south have views to the west and the house
across the street to the east has views to the east. The house will be similar in mass
and scale compared to other existing homes on similar lots in The Country. The
proposed design will be modified to a contemporary Mediterranean style of
architecture. The architecture in The Country is eclectic, and includes a variety of
architectural designs. The scale and proportions of the addition are well balanced
and appropriate for the site.
4. The design of the proposed development will provide a desirable environment for
its occupants and visiting public as well as its neighbors through good aesthetic use
of materials, texture, color, and will remain aesthetically appealing.
The applicant is proposing to change the architectural style to a contemporary
Mediterranean design, including features such as a low -pitched hipped roof with
concrete s-tiles, decorative arched windows on the first floor and rectangular
windows on the second floor, wrought iron railings throughout the home, and
balustrade railings at the rear of the home. The entryway includes an arch above
the transom windows and door. Earth-tone shades for the exterior finish are used
to soften the building’s visual impact and assist in preserving the hillside’s aesthetic
value. Also, landscaping is integrated into the site to complement the massing of
the house and blend in with neighboring homes and the natural environment of the
site in order to maintain a desirable environment. The scale and proportions of the
addition are well balanced and appropriate for the site.

5. The proposed development will not be detrimental to public health, safety or welfare
or materially injurious (e.g., negative effect on property values or resale(s) of
property) to the properties or improvements in the vicinity.
Before the issuance of any City permits, the proposed project is required to comply
with all conditions within the approved resolution, and the Building and Safety
Division and Public Works Departments requirements.
Through the permit and inspection process, the referenced agencies will ensure that
the proposed project is not detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare or
materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity.
6. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as set forth under Article 19 Section 15301 (e)
(additions to existing structures) of the CEQA guidelines.
Minor Conditional Use Permit Findings (DBMC Section 22.56.040)
1. The proposed use is allowed within the subject zoning district with the approval of a
Minor Conditional Use Permit and complies with all other applicable provision s of
this Development Code and the Municipal Code.
The existing single-family dwelling is a permitted use in the RR zone. A Minor
Conditional Use Permit (MCUP) is requested to allow an addition over 50 percent
of the existing square-footage to a nonconforming structure with a preexisting
nonconforming front setback of 21 feet, 2 inches (where 30 feet is required).
The preexisting substandard front setback renders the project nonconforming. The
addition of a nonconforming structure requires approval of a Minor Conditional Use
Permit because the addition is greater than 50 percent of the existing home. The
proposed addition consisting of 4,367 square feet of living area, 349 square-foot
garage addition, 4,446 square feet of deck/patio area, and 817 square feet of
storage/mechanical room area complies with the development standards of the RR
zone and will not further encroach into the nonconforming front setback.
2. The proposed use is consistent with the general plan a nd any applicable specific
plan.
The proposed addition to a single-family dwelling unit is consistent with the City’s
adopted General Plan. The site is not subject to the provisions of any specific plan.
3. The design, location, size and operating characteristics of the proposed use are
compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity.
The existing single-family dwelling and the proposed addition consisting of
4,367 square feet of living area, 349 square-foot garage addition, 4,446 square feet
of deck/patio area, and 817 square feet of storage/mechanical room area will not
7.1.a
Packet Pg. 30
5 PC Resolution No. 2019-XX
further encroach into the existing nonconforming 21-foot, 2-inch front setback. The
proposed addition is located at the front, side, and rear of the house. The façade
remodel of the existing single-family dwelling and the proposed addition are
compatible with the character of the existing homes in the n eighborhood because
the architecture in The Country is eclectic and includes a variety of architectural
designs. Therefore, the addition will not negatively impact the look and character of
the neighborhood.
4. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and density/intensity of use being
proposed including access, provision of utilities, compatibility with adjoining land
uses, and the absence of physical constraints.
The subject site is physically suitable for the existing single-family residential
dwelling and the proposed addition. The existing and proposed use of land is
consistent with the surrounding land uses. The proposed addition is consistent with
the development standards for the RR zone and will not further encroach into the
existing nonconforming front setback.
5. Granting the Minor Conditional Use Permit will not be detrimental to the public
interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare, or materially injurious to persons,
property or improvements in the vicinity and zoning district in which the property is
located.
The granting of the Minor Conditional Use Permit will allow the addition of the
existing single-family dwelling unit in a manner similar with existing dwelling units
located in the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed expansion of the dwelling
unit will not negatively impact the public interest, health, safety, convenience or
welfare.
6. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as set forth under Article 19 Section 15301 (e)
(additions to existing structure) of the CEQA Guidelines.
Non-Conforming Structures Findings (DBMC Section 22.68.030)
The addition, enlargement, extension, reconstruction, relocation or structural alteration of
the nonconforming structure would not result in the structure becoming:
1. Incompatible with other structures in the neighborhood.
The proposed four-level addition of floor area is consistent with the development
standards for the RR zone. The proposed addition consisting 4,367 square feet of
living area, 349 square-foot garage addition, 4,446 square feet of deck/patio area,
and 817 square feet of storage/mechanical room area will comply with current
development standards and not further encroach into the existing nonconforming
front setback. The proposed project is located at the front, side, and rear of the
existing home. The existing and proposed land use is consistent with the
7.1.a
Packet Pg. 31
6 PC Resolution No. 2019-XX
surrounding land uses and structures in the neighborhood. Additionally, the
neighboring properties also have nonconforming front setbacks, so the proposed
project will remain consistent with other homes within the neighborhood.
2. Inconsistent with the general plan or any applicable specific plan.
The proposed addition to a single-family dwelling unit is consistent with the City’s
adopted General Plan. The site is not subject to the provisions of any specific plan.
3. A restriction to the eventual/future compliance with the applicable regulations of this
Development Code.
The existing and proposed land use is consistent with the surrounding land uses
with similar front setbacks. The proposed addition of floor area is consistent with
the development standards for the RR zone and will not encroach into the existing
nonconforming front setback.
4. Detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of persons re siding in the
neighborhood.
Before the issuance of any City permits, the proposed project is required to comply
with all conditions within the approved resolution, and the Building and Safety
Division and Public Works/Engineering Departments requirements.
Through the permit and inspection process, the referenced agencies will ensure that
the proposed project is not detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare or
materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity.
5. Detrimental and/or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood.
The addition to the existing single-family dwelling unit will be constructed in a
manner similar with existing dwelling units located in the surrounding community
and will not be detrimental and/or injurious to property and improvements in the
neighborhood.
Based upon the findings and conclusion set forth above, the Planning Commission hereby
approves this Application, subject to the following conditions:
1. Development shall substantially comply with the plans and documents presented to
the Planning Commission at the public hearing.
2. Prior to building permit issuance, the required landscape plan shall be designed to

shared with the adjacent neighbor to the east. The property is a hillside property and is
located on ascending slope that starts from the private street easement to the center of
the property. There is also a descending slope located at the rear of the property .
The proposed house is situated toward the center of the lot, approximately 125 feet
from the edge of the private street easement line. The entrance to the proposed house
faces Derringer Lane. The applicant is proposing a driveway with a switchback design
to reduce the steepness of the slope and provide adequate access for Los Angeles
County Fire Department emergency vehicles. A portion of the existing shared driveway
will remain in order to provide access to the adjacent property to the east. A proposed
seven-car garage is located below grade in the basement level.
The applicant is proposing rear yard improvements consisting of a pool, spa, gazebo,
putting green, tennis court, fire pit, and outdoor kitchen with a barbeque area.
Grading Plan
The applicant is proposing to cut 8,200 cubic yards of soil toward the west side and rear
of the property to construct the basement level and fill 8,200 cubic yards of soil primarily
toward the front and rear of the property to expand the existing building pad. Therefore,
the site will be balanced and no import or export of soil will be required.

The applicant is proposing two four--foot high retaining walls toward the front of the
property to support a fill above the natural grade for the proposed switchback driveway.
The applicant is proposing two pads at the rear of the property. The upper buildable
pad—containing the majority of the rear yard improvements—is created by three-tiered
retaining walls with a maximum height of four feet that support a fill above the natural
grade. The lower pad that contains the tennis court will be supported by two crib walls
with a maximum height of four feet that support a fill above the natural grade. All
exposed portions of retaining walls will be stuccoed to match the house or clad with
decorative block.
Architecture
The design of the proposed home is eclectic with Greek revival elements, including
Doric columns, a full-height entry with a low-pitched pediment for a porte-cochere, a
low-pitched hipped roof with flat roof tiles, and stucco foam window trim moldings
surrounding tall windows. The colors and materials include earth-toned smooth stucco.
The proposed three-level house’s floor plan is comprised of the following components:
• Basement level: seven-car garage, storage rooms, server room, and powder
room;
• First floor level: common areas (entry area, living room, wet bar, great room,
dining room, kitchen, prep kitchen, two pantries, wine cellar, breakfast nook,
family room, and game room); three bedrooms with bathrooms and walk-in
closets; bedroom suite with a sitting room, walk-in closet, and bathroom; study;
library; exercise room with a bathroom and sauna; two powder rooms; laundry
room; and storage room;
Proposed Front Elevation

• Second level: master suite with a sitting area, office, linen closet, master
bathroom, and walk-in closet; four bedrooms with bathrooms and walk-in closets;
loft area; laundry room;
• Elevator to access all three levels; and
• 3,347 square feet of balcony, patio, and porch areas throughout the residence.
The floor area distribution is summarized below:
The height of the building is 35 feet, measured from the finished grade to the highest
point of the roofline.
Landscape Plan
The applicant is proposing a variety of trees to be planted throughout the property,
including: 31 Italian cypress trees along the length of the driveway, consisting of a mix
of 24- and 36-inch box container sizes; two 36-inch box olive trees at the driveway
entrance; 16 (sixteen) 24-inch box Italian cypress trees along the west side property
line; and seven 15-gallon fruit trees located on the slope at the rear of the property.
Additionally, various 5-gallon and 1-gallon shrubs that have a variety of color, texture,
and form are proposed throughout the street side and rear yard slopes. Overall,
landscaping consists of drought tolerant and non -invasive species to minimize irrigation
and reduce the area of turf. The project is required to comply with the City’s Water
Efficient Landscaping Ordinance, and compliance will be verified during building plan
check and final inspections.
There are currently several 30- to 60-foot tall Canary Island pine trees located on the
slope at the front of the property. Staff requested that the applicant redesign the
switchback driveway so the canary pine trees could remain on the property. In an effort

to accommodate staff’s request, the applicant submitted a revised site plan to the Los
Angeles County Fire Department proposing the driveway along the east side property
line. The revised site plan was not approved because it did not comply with the fire
code regulations for access due to the steepness of the driveway. Therefore, the
applicant resubmitted the project with the original switchback driveway to comply with
the LA County Fire Department fire code regulations for access.
As previously stated, the applicant is proposing to remove seven Canary Island Pine
trees located on the existing ascending slope at the front of the property. The applicant
is proposing to install a total of 31 Italian cypress trees at the front of the property, along
the length of the switchback driveway to replace the Canary Island pine trees. There
are also seven existing bottle trees located along the edge of the private street
easement that will remain at the front of the property, in front of the white vinyl fencing.

The subject property is located within the Los Angeles County Fire Department “Very
High Fire Hazard Severity Zone.” Therefore, the proposed landscaping must comply
with the Fire Department’s Fuel Modification Plan requirements. The landscape plans
will be submitted for review and approval by the Fire Department during building plan
check.

Compatibility with Neighborhood
The proposed project is located between two-story homes on both sides. The new
house will not be intrusive to neighboring homes since the proposed house will not
block existing views from adjacent properties. The adjacent house to the eas t is located
on a lower grade and has views to the north and south. The adjacent house to the west
is located on a higher grade and has views to the north, south and west.
The proposed house is comparable in mass and scale to existing homes on similar l ots
in The Country. The architecture in The Country is eclectic, and includes a variety of
architectural designs. In addition, the house is located 40 feet above the street grade
and is located approximately 125 feet from the private street easement. The scale and
proportions of the proposed home are well balanced and appropriate for the site. In
sum, the proposed project fits the character of the neighborhood on which it is
proposed.
• The new single-family residence will conform to all development standards,
including building height and setbacks, which is consistent with other homes in
The Country;
• A gradual transition between the project and adjacent uses is achieved through
appropriate setbacks, building height, landscaping, and window and door
placement;
• The proposed new single-family residence is appropriate in mass and scale to
the site;
• Proper screening for ground and roof-mounted equipment is architecturally
compatible with the dwelling in terms of materials, color, shape, and size and
blends in with the proposed building design;
• The exterior finish materials and colors blend with the natural environment; and
• Effective landscape design should serve the dual purpose of intrinsically
enhancing a project setting, as well as integrating the landscaping into the overall
architectural design. Staff finds the proposed plant palette to be diverse, and the
plant selections are compatible with Southern California native landscapes.

in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct; and
7.2.a
Packet Pg. 78
2 PC Resolution No. PL2019-XX
2. The Planning Commission hereby determines the Project to be Categorically
Exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to the provisions of Article 19, Section 15303(a) (construction of a new

environmental review is required.
C. FINDINGS OF FACT
Based on the findings and conclusions set forth herein and as prescribed under
Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Section 22.48, this Planning Commission hereby
finds as follows:
Development Review Findings (DBMC Section 22.48.040)
1. The design and layout of the proposed development is consistent with the
applicable elements of the City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines, and
development standards of the applicable district, design guidelines, and
architectural criteria for special areas (e.g., theme areas, specific plans,
community plans, boulevards or planned developments):
The design and layout of the proposed single -family residence consisting of
15,011 square-foot single-family residence with 2,915 square feet of garage area,
3,599 square feet of patio/gazebo area, and 3,491 square feet of storage areas
is consistent with the City’s General Plan, Design Guidelines and development
standards. A gradual transition between the project and adjacent uses is
achieved through appropriate setbacks, building height, landscaping, and
window and door placement.
The proposed new single-family residence incorporates architectural elements
such as a low-pitched hipped roof with concrete flat tiles, a porte cochere with a
gable pediment, elongated windows throughout the house, stucco exterior
finishes; and appropriate massing and proportion to meet the intent of the City’s
Design Guidelines.
The project site is not part of any theme area, specific plan, community plan,
boulevard or planned development.
2. The design and layout of the proposed development will not interfere with the use
and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future development s, and will not create
traffic or pedestrian hazards;
The proposed single-family house will not interfere with the use and enjoyment
of neighboring existing or future developments because the use of the project site
is designed for a single-family home and the surrounding uses are also single -
family homes.
The proposed single-family house will not interfere with vehicular or pedestrian
movements, such as access or other functional requirements of a single -family
home because it complies with the requirements for driveway widths and exceeds
the minimum number of required off-street parking spaces.
3. The architectural design of the proposed development is compatible with the
7.2.a
Packet Pg. 79
3 PC Resolution No. PL2019-XX
character of the surrounding neighborhood and will maintain and enhance the
harmonious, orderly and attractive development contemplated by Chapter 22.48:
Development Review Standards, the City’s Design Guidelines, the City's General
Plan, or any applicable specific plan;
The proposed house is comparable in mass and scale to existing homes on
similar lots in The Country. The architecture in The Country is eclectic, and
includes a variety of architectural designs. The scale and proportions of the
proposed home are well balanced and appropriate for the site. In sum, the
proposed project fits the character of the neighborhood on which it is proposed.
4. The design of the proposed development will provide a desirable environment for
its occupants and visiting public as well as its neighbors through good aesthetic
use of materials, texture, color, and will remain aesthetically appealing;
The design of the proposed home is eclectic with Greek revival elements such as
Doric columns, low pitched hipped roof with flat concrete roof tiles, a port-cochere
with a low-pitched pediment, and tall windows. The new home will not be intrusive
to neighboring homes. Earth-tone shades for the exterior finish are used to soften
the building’s visual impact and assist in preserving the hillside’s aesthetic value.
Also, landscaping is integrated into the site to co mplement the massing of the
house and blend in with neighboring homes and the natural environment of the
site in order to maintain a desirable environment. The scale and proportions of
the proposed home are well balanced and appropriate for the site.
5. The proposed development will not be detrimental to public health, safety or
welfare or materially injurious (e.g., negative effect on property values or
resale(s) of property) to the properties or improvements in the vicinity; and
Before the issuance of any City permits, the proposed project is required to
comply with all conditions within the approved resolution, and the Building and
Safety Division and Public Works Departments requirements.
Through the permit and inspection process, the referenced agencies will ensure
that the proposed project is not detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare
or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity.
6. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as set forth under Article 19 Section 15303(a)
(construction of a new single-family residence) of the CEQA Guidelines.
Based upon the findings and conclusion set forth above, the Planning Commission hereby
approves this Application, subject to the following conditions:
1. Development shall substantially comply with the plans and docum ents presented
to the Planning Commission at the public hearing.
2. All exposed portions of all freestanding and retaining walls shall be decorative
block or finished with a stucco application to match the proposed exterior wall
finish of the house.

APPLICANT:
Howard Zelefsky

Fountain Valley, CA 92708
SUMMARY:
The applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to increase the
percentage of floor area allocated to medical office uses at an existing 35,687 square-
foot professional office building. Because medical uses require a higher parking-per-
square-foot parking ratio than general office uses, the applicant is concurrently
proposing to create 19 new on-site parking spaces by cutting into slope at the rear of
the subject property, and supporting the cut with three tiers of six-foot tall retaining
walls.
On September 18, 2019, staff received written comments from the neighboring
commercial property owner to the north, expressing opposition to the request. Among
other things, the neighboring property owner contends that the subject property
currently lacks sufficient on-site parking to meet demand, resulting in patrons parking

off-site and impacting neighboring businesses, and that the proposed intensification of
use will worsen the situation.
RECOMMENDATION:
In light of the new information received, staff recommends that the Planning
Commission open the public hearing, receive public comments, and continue the matter
to October 30, 2019. The purpose of the continuance would be to allow the applicant
and staff to investigate the issues raised by the neighboring property owner.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is located at the east side of Diamond Bar Boulevard, between
Highland Valley Road and Sunset Crossing Road. The office building that currently
occupies the site was developed in 1981, prior to the City’s incorporation.
The building has 35,687 square feet of leasable floor area . The current tenant mix
includes general office, medical office, medical lab and bank uses. There are currently
100 parking spaces on site. North Diamond Bar Boulevard is currently striped with a
Class 2 bike lane, and on-street parking is currently prohibited.
In June 2017, staff approved a Plot Plan application to renovate the exterior of the
building and relandscape the site (Planning Case No. PL2017-52).
The property is legally described as Lots 10 and 11 of Tract No. 34803. The Assessor’s
Parcel Number (APN) is 8706-002-055.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS
Intensification of Use
The applicant is requesting approval to increase medical office uses from 11,634 square
feet to 16,906 square feet. In addition, the applicant intends to lease 1,190 square feet
to a retail pharmacy tenant. To facilitate these uses, general office would concurrently
be reduced from 19,243 square feet to 12,781 square feet. The table below
summarizes the proposed redistribution of floor area and associated parking
requirements.

As the table above shows, there is currently a deficit of nine parking spaces based on
the present tenant mix. The table also illustrates that the proposed addition of 19
Adjacent Property to the South Adjacent Property to the North

Packet Pg. 116
Conditional Use Permit Planning Case No. PL2017-139
Page 5 of 8
Proposed Site Plan
parking spaces would bring the site into compliance with th e City’s parking regulations
by both erasing the current deficit and by providing ten additional spaces to meet the
parking requirement generated by intensification of medical uses and the addition of a
pharmacy.
Parking Lot Expansion
As shown below, the applicant proposes to cut approximately 25 feet horizontally into
the slope at the rear of the property, and supporting the cut with three tiers of six-foot
tall retaining walls to create the additional surface area to accommodate the parking lot
expansion. A decorative finish, such as split-faced block or painted stucco, is proposed
on the exposed sides of these retaining walls. The estimated volume of soil export
associated with the proposed retaining wall construction is 2,454 cubic yards. Also
shown below are two new storage sheds proposed at the opposite ends of the
expanded parking.
Landscaping
Pursuant to DBMC Section 22.24.040 Table 3-6, properties zoned Office Professional
(OP) shall provide for a minimum of 20 percent of the site area for landscaping. The
Code also requires office uses to provide landscaping within the parking area at a ratio
of five percent of the gross area of the parking lot, as well as one tree for every eight
parking spaces [DBMC Section 22.30.070 (8)(g)(1)]. The proposed areas allocated for
landscaping (including the rear slope) is 27,314 square feet, which complies with both N

Packet Pg. 117
Conditional Use Permit Planning Case No. PL2017-139
Page 6 of 8
requirements noted above. Three 24-inch box blue palo verde trees are proposed in
planter areas for every eight parking spaces within the new parking area and 1-gallon
creeping myoporum shrubs are proposed between the retaining walls. The project is
required to comply with the City’s Water Efficient Landscaping Ordinance, and
compliance will be verified during building plan check and final inspections.
As part of the 2017 façade remodel and landscaping improvements , six California
Sycamores were planted on the slope at the rear of the property. The closest tree is
approximately eight to ten feet from the highest proposed retaining wall. The applicant
intends to retain those trees in place.
Conditional Use Permits (DBMC Section 22.58)
A CUP is required for uses whose effect on the surrounding area cannot be determined
before being analyzed for suitability at a particular location.
When reviewing a CUP, consideration is given to the location, design, configuration,
operational characteristics and potential impacts to determine whether or not the
proposed use will pose a detriment to the public health, safety and welfare. If it can be
found that the proposed use is likely to be compatible with its surroundings, the
Commission may approve the proposed use subject to conditions stipulating the
manner in which the use must be conducted. If the Commission finds that the proposed
use is likely to be detrimental to the general peace, health and general welfare, then it
must deny the request.
When a CUP is approved, it runs with the land and all conditions placed on the CUP are
binding on all successors in interest. In other words, if the owner was to sell the
building, the new owner could place approved uses in the same spaces allocated and
operate the same type of use. The new tenant(s) would be required to comply with the
same conditions as the previous tenant and would not be permitted to expand the use
without full review and approval by the Planning Commission.
Neighborhood Compatibility
The building has various uses, including general office, medical office, a medical lab,
bank, and storage. The adjacent property to the north is a legal nonconforming auto
repair shop and the adjacent property to the south is a lso a professional office building.
Given the similar nature of the proposed uses with the uses already existing within the
building, it is reasonable to conclude that the medical office and pharmacy will be
compatible within the building and with the neighborhood.
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING:
On September 12, 2019, public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within a
500-foot radius of the project site. On September 13, the notice was published in the
Inland Valley Daily Tribune and San Gabriel Valley Tribune newspapers; the project site

Among several issues raised, information was provided regarding the current parking
situation. Parking lots of the subject site and adjacent properties have signs informing
visitors that parking is for customers only and violators will be towed. According to the
letter, customers for the office building are parking on adjacent properties due to the
parking shortage and is causing vehicles to be towed.
While there is a verified shortage of nine parking spaces on the subject property, and
the applicant proposes to add 19 new spaces to erase the shortage and accommodate
a retail pharmacy and a higher percentage of medical office square footage, staff
believes that it would be prudent to continue the public hearing to October 30, 2019 so
that the issues raised by the neighboring property owner may be properly investigated.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
The project has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA). Based on that assessment, the City has determined the project to be
Categorically Exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to Article 19 under
Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) and Section 15311 (Accessory Structures) of the
CEQA Guidelines. No further environmental review is required.

Community Development Department/
Planning Division

Diamond Bar, CA 91765
RE: Conditional Use Permit No. PL 2017-139
Dear Ms. Nakajima:
This objection letter is submitted by Stonewood Properties, Inc., as agent of owner, on behalf of the
tenants in common ownership of Seaside Ranchos, Dolley and Sons, LTD and Stonewood Hillcrest, LLC
(collectively “Stonewood”). Stonewood owns the auto center just north of the subject property located
at 780-796 North Diamond Bar, Diamond Bar, CA. Stonewood reviewed the applicant’s file, parking
study and plans in the City of Diamond Bar Offices on September 18, 2019.
Stonewood objects to the issuance of a C.U.P. for increased medical office use and the expansion of the
parking area into the rear slope based on the following:
• The applicant and the 750 N. Diamond Bar Property are part of private reciprocal easement
agreement dated October 31, 1985 (attached). Stonewood contends that the proposed
modifications to the parking or the site require the prior written consent of all the property
owners subject to this agreement since said improvement will affect the adjacent building’s
foundation, drainage and potentially utilities which is addressed in Paragraph 2c of the
agreement. Applicant has not obtained consent from any of the adjacent owners. Any City
approval should require this private party consent prior to issuing a C.U.P. or building permit for
extensive slope work to add 19 new parking stalls.
• Applicant’s file lacks any plans by a licensed Civil Engineer, a professional soils report, a
structural review, safety review or any aesthetic elevations which are subject to public review
and approval. Public Works intends to have these reports produced and reviewed after the
C.U.P. approval and prior the issuance of a building permit. This process would not include any
public review or sign off by adjacent owners. The contemplated plan by the Applicant would
expose the adjacent building’s foundation at 780 N. Diamond Bar which shares a zero-lot line
and may cause underlying structural damage and potentially change the drainage flow below
and around the building. Please see photo attached of area that will be affected. Applicant’s
plans are silent to any of these issues with the adjacent building and a full structural review
including construction methods should be conducted and studied prior to any approvals being
granted.

• Modification to the common slope – The slope in which applicant is looking to modify has issues
with previous slides, excessive hydrology flow onto the properties below and offers an aesthetic
view corridor to properties adjacent. The new retaining wall appears to be listed on plans at 6’,
though it fails to clearly describe that it is in fact a 3 retaining wall system of each section being
6’ for a total of approximately 18’ from top to bottom. This is a massive wall which should
require structural review, an elevation to understand construction finishes and a safety review.
Children, homeless, contractors and others find their way on to the slope from time to time
should not be subject to an 18’ fall from the top of proposed wall to the ground without a safety
rail. There is also a common easement for a drainage swell and catch basin which will need
additional study to ensure proper water flow across the applicant’s site. Modifications to this
slope area seems unwise and again has not been approved by the adjacent property owners.
• Parking – The parking for the 750 building is already at full capacity with its current uses and
overflows onto our adjacent property without our consent. We have invoked our rights to
restrict parking from the 750 building, added “No Parking” signs and now legally tow violators
from time to time. We understand that applicants parking plan may meet current code with all
the parking located on site, if their plan is approved. From a practical standpoint the site is
under parked with tight drive aisles, intensifying the parking uses does not seem prudent and
frankly short sighted by the applicant to subject its unknowing visitors to tow charges and undue
stress when they can’t find spot on site and quickly park on the adjacent properties to make a
medical appointment. It always seems unfair when a car has to be removed. The parking study
dated 8-8-18 by Linscott Law & Greenspan Engineering eludes to open stalls in adjacent
properties, all stalls on the adjacent properties are under “Exclusive Use” and no longer
available to the 750 Building’s tenants or visitors. Our Official Notice to the applicant is enclosed
for your review, you may wish to request copies from other surrounding owners as well.
This property was originally approved under the County before being annexed into the City of Diamond
Bar. The original approval restricted the amount medical in this building and we encourage the
percentage to remain unchanged and the C.U.P. in question to be denied or at least suspended for vote
until a full professional design package can be reviewed by the public.
Please include this objection letter to public file and we reserve the right to attend the meeting on
September 24, 2019 to express our objections in person and expand on our points of contention.
Stonewood reserves all their legal right and remedies.
Sincerely,
Stonewood Properties, Inc.
As agent for owner.
