OLD BUSINESS :
Consideration Staff reported the Resolution for Denial , before the
Resolution of Commission , had been prepared , by staff and the City
Denial for Attorney ' s o £ fice , in compliance with the conclusion of
47722 & CUP / OT the October 8 , 1990 Public Hearing . The Resolution
89 - 338 . had been faxed to the developer , and the developer ' s
environmental consultant , and is presented for adoption
tonight .
Motion made by VC / Aarmony , seconded by C / MacBride to
adopt the Resolution Por Denial . Motion CARRIED with
C / Grothe abstaining .
NEW BUSINESS :
Request for Staff reported the property is located along the north
Extension of side of Cle�r Creek Canyon Drive generally between
Tentative Tract Cleghorn Drive and Monument Drive . The project consists
45678 & CUP / OT of ten ( 10 ) lots located on two ( 2 ) acres , nine ( 9 )
87 - 373 lots proposed for single family residential development ,
and lot ten ( l0 ) proposed as open space . The project
reoeived a conditional approval from Los Angeles County
on March 22 , 1988 . The tentative tract map , conditional .
use permit and oak tree permits expired on March 22 ,
1990 . The final tract map was presented for approval by
the City Council on February 20 , 1990 , in which the ap -
plicant had responded to a variety of project condi -
tions , but failed to clear the CC &Rs with the City At-
torney . As a result , the map was denied by the City
Council . Subsequently , the applicant had requested an
extension of time on February 26 , 1990 , but , as of this
date , the map has not gone before the City Council for a
final review because the CC &Rs remain an issue . Staff
October 22 , 1990 Page 2
recommended the Planning Commission deny the request for
an extension .
Chair / Schey asked staff to clarify if the primary issue
before the Commission is the failure of the applicant to
comply with the CC & Rs over the years .
Bill Curley , City Attorney , stated the CC &Rs have been
received by the office but not reviewed because of the
assumption the map had terminated on its own accord . He
stated if the Commission should decide to extend the
map , then the documents will be given a full review .
Chair / Schey inquired how the subdivision con£ orms with
the present criteria .
James DeStefano , Planning Director , stated a lot averag-
ing process was used to obtain the 8 , 000 sq . ft . minimum
requirement of the County , which the City no longer ad-
vocates . He stated , other than this major issue , the
map would probably meet all current standards within the
zone .
C / MacBride asked if there are unique features to the
CC &Rs in the area .
Bill Curley responded the primary issue is the slope
maintenance of the undevelopable areas of each of the
lots , and the maintenance of the common areas .
VC / Harmony asked if there is access to the open space .
Jack Istik , Assistant City Engineer , responded there is
an easement , showing , across a portion of lot nine ( 9 ) .
Chair / Schey asked the applicant to respond .
Mr . Prescott , clerk to Dr . Omar ' s attorney , stated , in
July of 1990 , staff requested the applicant change three
( 3 ) words on the map and draw one line representing the
slope crest . The applicant complied and received verbal
approval from staff . He stated the CC &Rs were prepared
and submitted mid-March , but the dates for the City
Council review were never honored due to various circum-
stances . The CC & Rs do provide care of the slopes by the
homeowners . He stated the applicant will do modifica -
tions , at the Commissions request , but believed the doc -
uments , as presented , should satisfy the City require -
ments . He asserted the delays were not due to the ap-
plicant ' s failure , but the organizational process of the
City .
Chair / Schey inquired as to why the tentative tract map
had never been recorded since the subdivision had con-
ditions of approval since 1987 .
October 22 , 1990 Page 3
Mr . Prescott noted his inability to speak for that peri -
od of time , but stated it was his understanding the map
was recorded since the grant of title to the homeowners
association was submitted March 15 , 1990 and the tract
reference was accepted .
Biil Curley explained , when the CC& Rs were submitted
March 15 , 1990 , staff made a full inquiry into the sta -
tus of the map because the tentative map had not been
approved nor recorded . Staff researched dates and tim-
ing . There was no indication by the City Clerk � s office
that the Council had granted an extension but showed the
request was denied for final approval because o £ non-
compliance . In referencing back to the records of the
Council , it indicated the map , for all intent and pur -
poses , expired on its own accord . However , staff ' s fol -
low up inquiry identified there had an assertion and a
request for extension submitted by the applicant .
Mrs . Omar stated the project was approved by the County
except for the CC &Rs . They have tried to comply , and
had provided staff with the CC &Rs in March of 1990 . She
stated they have put in a lot of time , money , and effort
and requested an extension .
VC /Harmony asked if the changes in the CC & Rs have met
with Council ' s criteria .
Bill Curley replied staff has not scrutinized the map
because it appeared to have expired . He stated it would
not take long to review the status of the CC & Rs , if the
Commission decides to grant an extension of the map .
James Destefano stated , generally speaking , it meets all
of the requirements because the requirements are prin-
cipally the same as they were with the County . The phi -
losophy is different concerning Oak trees and lot aver -
aging . The Oak tree setback has not been determined
because hom� s are not placed on the site .
Jack Istik stated , even though the map meets the
County � s conditions of approval , he is concerned with
the buildability of lots 7 , 8 , and 9 because of the
small pad area by a large downhill slope .
Chair / Schey asked if grading plans had been submitted by
the applicant .
Staff responded that only the tract map had been submit -
ted .
Chair / Schey asked if the applicant is permitted to modi -
fy the canyon .
October 22 , 1990 Page 4
Mr . Prescott stated , in the CC &Rs , the applicant agreed
it will maintain the slope in the low land , in the orig-
inal condition . He stated contemplation of grading will
be minimal and the applicant will build on the flat
land .
Jack Istik asked the applicant if the developer would be
willing to place a note on the final map indicating a
restrictive use area , not permitting grading .
Mr . Prescott indicated he is reasonably sure the appli -
cant would be agreeable to such an action .
VC / Harmony asked what the CC & Rs requirements are , for
the changing of their own CC &Rs .
Mr . Prescott stated with two thirds ( 2 / 3 ) vote , the
CC &Rs can be modified but the applicant has covenanted
not to and would have to obtain the Commission ' s approv-
al .
C / MacBride stated he would remain uncomfortable until
the CC &Rs are carefully reviewed . The matter of open
space , and covenants , is very important in view of fu-
ture maintenance , proposed transfers and other transfers
that may occur . Ae is uncomfortable with the lot aver -
aging and would prePer further information to be pre -
sented .
Bill Curley reiterated the reason the final map had been
denied was because oP nonconformance . Should an exten-
sion be granted , the map would not come back to the Com-
mission . Ae expressed , if the intent is to receive more
information to assure the map conforms with the current
design standards , an extension would not give the Com-
mission an opportunity to place new conditions upon it ,
but rather allow the applicant more time to gather in -
complete items to present to the Council . He stated the
matter is out of the Commission ' s hands to put any new
conditions or requirements on this issue .
C / Lin inquired if the frontage of the homes would be
narrow because the pads are small .
Staff , without viewing the area , speculated the frontage
would be consistent to the rest of the neighborhood .
Ernie Delray , manager of the property across the street
from the site , stated the neighborhood consists of con -
dominiums with homes above the site .
C / Grothe inquired if the Commission ' s action would go
before the Council .
Bill Curley stated if the Commission does not grant an
extension , the applicant could appeal before the Coun-
cil . If the Commission approves the extension , the ap-
October 22 , 1990 Paqe 5
plicant could make the appropriate changes before qoing
before the Council . The merits of the project are as
described in the resolutions originally issued by the
County . The question before the Commission is whether
or not to grant an extension of time .
Chair / Schey stated the project is a simple subciivision
that should have been recorded before Diamond Bar became
a City . Since it was not recorded , and is now subjected
to expiration , the Commission has the obligation to re -
view the map . He does not believe the map meets the
current City standards , and would make a motion to deny
the request for extension .
VC / Harmony stated he is not convinced the lots are
buildable . He contended there is an element of dual
diligence , on staff and the applicant , to assure the
process is administered appropriately .
Motion was made by Chair / Schey and seconded by Vice - '
C / Harmony and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to deny the request
for extension .
Review and Staff reported the City Council has schefluled a joint
Comment on study session for Tuesday , November 13 , 1990 , at 6 : 00
Draft CIP p . m . to review the initial draft of the Capital Improve -
ment Program ( CIP ) and explain the roles and responsi -
bilities of each Commission . The Planning Commission ' s
comments , relative to specific projects , will be forwar -
ded , to the City Council , for their consideration and
prioritizing of the projects . Staff explained the CIP
is a master plan , for the next five ( 5 ) years , to plan
the allocation of the City ' s financial and land resourc -
es . The CIP would deal with plans for constructing ,
repairing and maintaining the City ' s parks , buildings ,
streets , and other assets , and is funded through a vari -
ety of inechanisms . Staff requested comments from the
Commissioners , relative to the CIP .
I
C / MacBride had concerns with three ( 3 ) items :
1 . Street Improvements
Project : Modification of wes�ern terminus of
Sunset Crossing Road including possible extension
into City of Industry .
I3e was concerned the language , " possible extension
into City of Industry " , extends verbal leverage to
outside bodies , and would like to have the wording
eliminated . He would rather have the language in-
serted , " . . . we make plans to develop a connector
link between the two ( 2 ) recreational parcels so
they can be more advantageously used for the bene-
fit of the community . "
October 22 , 1990 Page 6
2 . Municipal Buildings and Facilities
Project : City Hall / Community Center
He encouraged describing the center to indicate
the possibility of a multi - faaeted Civic Center .
3 . Traffic Control
A new project to be included : Diamond Bar Blvd .
Sunset Crossinq North to Freeway 57 on-ramp ( dis -
tance approximately 75o feet ) , to include medians
for tra£ £ ic control and aesthetics .
He explained this section of Diamond Bar Blvd . is
a part of the state freeway 57 system , and is tem-
porarily signed to connect the 57 and 60 . He
stated the on-ramp has ( 5 ) traffic movements . The
painted median safeguards ( 8 ) commercial drive -
ways , ( 3 ) fast food centers , ( 3 ) street exits and
entrances , ( 3 ) fire plugs and ( 2 ) bus stops . He
requested the project be included in the CIP and
requested research as to the occurrence of the
situation .
C / Grothe was concerned with items :
1 . He advocated separating the project City Hall / Com-
munity Center and recommended expending money to -
wards City improvements first and continue leasing
office space for City Hall .
2 . Landscaping and Irrigation
Project : Correct widespread deficiencies of
sidewalks , curbs , and gutters .
xe recommended adding street lighting to the pro -
ject . He stressed avoiding capital improvements
that would leave " holes '� of unimproved areas with-
in the � City .
3 . He stated additional areas in need of capital im-
provement are on Golden Springs , Diamond Bar Blvd .
at Lorbeer , and Diamond Bar Blvd , in front of the
triplexes . He explained there have been center
median improvements , but the smaller asphalt medi -
ans , separating Diamond Bar Blvd . from frontage
streets , have been neglected .
Chair / Schey referred to the items :
1 . Street Improvements
Project : Ftesurface Golden Springs Road from Grand
Avenue to Brea Canyon Road .
He requested adding the insulation of proper curb ,
gutter , and sidewalk along the north side of Gold-
en Springs .
October 22 , 1990 Page 7
2 . Traffic Control
Project : Construction of bus turnouts along regu-
larly traveled bus routes .
He questioned the necessity of the project . He '
stated the County recently did substantial con-
creting of pa@s at bus stops , and , in most cases ,
there is no room to widen roads , nor a need to .
3 . Traffic Control
Project : Construction of circulation barrier to
deter traffic using Quail Summit Drive and Rolling
Drive as an alternate access between Diamond Bar
Blvd . and Grand Avenue .
He realized the area is of concern to the resi -
dents but questioned the action as an appropriate
method of controlling an undetermined problem .
4 . Electrical Systems
Project : Underground insta2lation of electrical
components along biamond Bar Boulevard , removing
unsightly overhead wires .
He urged the inclusion of underground wires beyond
Sunset Crossing to extend toward the City limits .
5 . Parks and Recreation
Project : Replacement of obsolete and / or damaged
playground equipment at Heritage and Sycamore Can-
yon Parks .
He requested the project be expanded to all City
parks . He noted ( 4 ) small parks he felt should be
recognized , located at Softwind and Stardust ,
Longview east of Brookwood , Longview near Summit
Ridge , and Longview near Cold Springs Court .
6 . He concurred with C / Grothe on the necessity of
including street lighting when correcting side-
walk , curbs , and gutters .
C/ Harmony discussed the items :
1 . He concurred with C / MacBride that extending Sunset
Crossing into the City of Industry would be unde-
sirable . He emphasized the City of Industry is a
light industrial center to be wedged between two
( 2 ) major residential cities , creating undesirable
environmental impacts , too close to Diamond Bar ' s
recreational facilities .
2 . He cautioned the improvement of public facilities ,
as they relate to our boundaries , can facilitate
or complicate development outside the City of Dia -
mond Bar , within our well -defined sphere of influ-
ence . He advised waiting on improvements until
October 22 , 1990 Page 8
future developers offer assurance of annexing with
the City , allowing the capability to regulate the
kind of developments to occur in the area .
3 . He stated , in reference to a Community Center , it
should be enaouraged to obtain centralized land to
house all community needs . Ae stated rent £ or the
Commission and the consultants , at City Hall , to-
tals $ 120 , 000 a year , and he would prefer to up -
grade the old Post Office site , on a temporary
lease basis for five to ten ( 5 - 10 ) years , before
buyinq another parcel of land strictly for City
governmental use .
4 . He requested from staff a report on the sources
available to obtain additional grants and funding ,
other than taxes , and staff ' s opinion as to the
best possibilities of capturing these dollars .
C / Lin was concerned with the item :
1 . Sewer and Storm Drain Systems
Project : Upgrading of existing sewer pump sta-
tions throughout the City .
She inquired as to the amount of stations current -
ly servicing the City , and the urgency of the pro-
ject .
Jack Istik responded there are five ( 5 ) sewer pump
stations the County is in the process of redesign-
ing because of breaking mains . There is a chance ,
due to the Aealth Department requirements , the
City is bound to repair them . However , the Los
Angeles County of Public Works has not yet ap -
proached the City with costs .
PUBLICIHEARING ITEMS :
Variance 90 - 101 . Staff reported the environmental assessment and
variance is an application for the construction of
an approximately 6 , 300 sq . ft . , three story , sin -
gle family residence , in excess of 35 ' above aver -
age finished grade , on a . 9 acre lot , and located
at 1741 Derringer Road , in a zone R- 1 - 40 , 000 , of
the Country Estates .
Robert Searcy , Associate Planning Director , re -
ported the rectangular site is one ( 1 ) acre in
size , but the buildable area is limited due to the
topography of the lot . The design of the resi -
dence is a typical pad type design , being proposed
for a parcel with slopes in excess of 50 percent .
The lot possesses 151 feet of frontage and the
average lot depth is 468 feet . The lot slopes
from south to north and a ravine traverses the
October 22 , 1990 Page 9
rear portion of the property sloping to the east .
The property is covered by natural grasses and a
stand of trees is located to the rear of the site .
A retaining wall and stilts must be constructed in
order for the pad and structure to be completed as
designed . The structure will reach in excess of
40 feet above the average finished grade , and an
additional 15 feet oE the structure will be visi -
ble from the western elevation . From the eastern
elevation , the residence will have the appearance
of a one floor structure . The initial application
was submitted to the Los Angeles County Regional
Planning , at which time it was denied . The appli -
cant waited , until the City took over the planning
functions , to file a plot plan . The application
was denied by staff because the design did not
conform to the height limits . The applicant is
now appealing the denial in the form of this vari -
ance application . StafP recommended denial of the
environmental assessment and variance .
Chair / Schey declared the Public Hearing open .
Pete Volbeda , architect for the project , residing
at 630 Brea Canyon Road , Walnut , stated the lot is
one of few , along Derringer , that has no pad , and
in which the site flrops straight down from the
asphalt pavement . The home cannot be designed
like the adjacent residents . To design the house
more closely to the natural terrain , in which a
road is taken down at 15 % , would be an expensive
alternative to the applicant . The applicant is
asking for a six foot , two inch ( 6 ' 2 " ) variance
above the allowable height , and stated there are
other homes in the Country , meeting the exact
height the applicant is now proposing . He main-
tained the Country is running out of flat lots and
the Commission will be seeing more requests for
varian�es in the future . He urged the Commission
to view the variance as a hardship claim .
VC / Harmony acknowledged the Country is running out
of developable lots , many at the edge of cliffs
requiring inventiveness in development . He does
not perceive this to be enough reason to justify a
hardship claim .
Pete Volbeda stressed , at the time the applicant
submitted the plan , the County standards allowed
measuring from the average finished grade to the
mid point of the highest gable , and now the City
determines the height to the top of the ridqe .
VC / Harmony pointed out the City adopted County
standards after the County had made the modifica -
tions .
October 22 , 1990 Page 10
Chair / Schey noted the applicant � s design had not
conformed to County standards , and was thereby
denied .
Vigal Vaki1 , owner of the house , stated several
homes are being built in the Country the same size
or higher . Ae stated the plan is the only afford-
able design he can build , and asked for relief ,
from the Commission , to allow the height differ -
ence .
Chair / Schey declared the Public xearing closed .
C / Grothe suggested adopting standards , specifical -
ly for the Country , to fit desired ridge home de -
velopments , as opposed to encouraging more grad-
inq , to achieve flat lands , to meet present City
standards . He would like tp allow for some imagi -
nation , and asserted if 900 of homes would not
comply to the standards , then the Commission
should reevaluate those standards .
Chair / Schey commented it was typical of the County
to grant very lenient interpretations of the
codes , as is evident in the Country . He asserted
the standards are not wrong , but rather there has
been a lack oP consistency , giving the idea any
design will be approved . Ae stated there must be
a minimum standard , at some point , and he did not
feel the standards pose any undue restrictions .
VC / Harmony asked what would result , if the appli -
cation was made to comply to City standards .
Staff believed it possible to redesign the house
to utilize more of the slope by changing the ele -
vation of the floors . Another alternative would
be to redesign the roof , to lower the height .
I
C / Grothe concurred there should be a minimum stan -
dard . However , he felt the standard was written
for flat land development , and did not make rea-
sonable provisions for hilltop development . Ae
directed staff to survey the amount of homes not
complying with the current standards .
VC / Harmony believed more than 70 % of homes , in the
Country , comply with the current standard . The
lots remaining are the most difficult to develop ,
and the homes are becoming more massive . To pro -
tect the specialized zoning of the Country , the
standard must be maintained .
Chair / Schey stated surveying homes , would only de -
monstrate the amount of variances permitted . It
would not demonstrate if complying to the stan-
dards was achievable . He asserted , in some cases ,
October 22 , 1990 Page 11 '
a variance would be appropriate , but he was not
convinaed there are extenuating circumstances in
this particular variance . He is not convinced the
current standard is unreasonable .
C / Lin concurred with the necessity of maintaining
a minimum stan@ard , but agreed with C / Grothe to
allow changes to height requirement to accommodate
some of the more difficult to develop lots remain-
ing in the Country . She would consider a variance
in the present case , since the house was designed
years ago , but in the future , she proposed revis -
ing the current standards to allow for the unique
circumstances of the remaining lots .
VC / Aarmony asserted the revised standards the
County effected , were developed with the Country
in mind , to prevent the massive structures being
developed .
Motion was made by C / Grothe , and seconded by C /
MacBride , to deny the application for an environ-
mental assessment and variance . MOTION CARRSED .
4 AYES - C / Grothe , C / MacBride , VC / Harmony , and
Chair / Schey .
1 NAY - C / Lin
Chair / Schey stated surveying homes , to fletermine
the need of creating a new ordinance to accommo -
date the development in the Country , woulfl require
a lot of work for a small remaining portion of
undeveloped lots .
C / MacBride concurred the existing regulation is
reasonable , and regardless of th� requirements
determined , there will always be applications for
variances to the rule .
I
C / Grothe mentioned , besides the issue o � height ,
he is concerned with sideyard setbacks in relation
to the size of homes .
Chair / Schey stated crafting an ordinance to meet
all contingencies and potential issues would be
impossible . The only way to mediate these issues
would be through a design review .
James DeStefano sugqested an alternative , to look-
ing at a large variety of houses , to determine
average height , would be for the Commissioners to
pin point homes appealing in bulk and mass . Staff
can do a comparative research on the homes to help
establish standards .
October 22 , 1990 Page 12
ANNOUNCEMENTS : VC / Harmony announced that on Saturday , he has an
appointment with the Fire Chief of Los Angeles
County to determine if fire trucks can climb a 15 %
grade , after turning around on a cul -de - sac , at
the Gold Rush development . Ae stated if the meet-
ing becomes something of interest , perhaps it
could be arranged for the Commission to ride on
the fire truck .
C / Grothe declared Gold Rush is impossible to exit
since the new home development .
C / MacBride stated he will be unable to attend the
November 13 , 1990 study session .
Staff explained the study session of November 13 ,
1990 will commence at 3 : 00 p . m . to review the In-
terim Ordinance for Hillside Regulations and the
Interim Ordinance for Commercial Manufacturing
Land Uses . The Council has arranged to meet with
the other Commissions , at 6 : 00 p . m . , to discuss ,
specifically , the CIP .
Staff , in response to the inquiry from CjMacBride ,
stated the Sign Ordinance will be presented for
the Commission ' s review on the meeting of November
26 , 1990 and will be delivered in the Commission ' s
packets on November 16 , 1990 .
ADJOURNMENT : Motion was made by VC / Harmony , seconded by C /

square fioot SFR on a lot that requires considerable
grading in order to create a pad fior a residence of
this size . Use of retaining walls wlll be necessary
at each elevation in order for the pad to be
created and stabilized .
The design of the residence is a typical pad type
design that is being proposed for a parcel with
slopes in excess of 5ID percent . A retaining wall
and stilts must be constructed in order for the pad
and structure to be comp { eted as designed . The
structure will reach in excess ofi 40 feet above the
average finished grade and an additional 15 fieet ofi
the structure will be visible firom the western
elevation . From the eastern elevation , the
residence will have the appearance of a one fioor
structure .
The initial plot plan review for this site was
performed by Los Angeles County Regional Planning .
The application was submitted with a letter
acknowledgfng that � the project would be denied
because the deslgned height exceeded code
ailowances . The applicant was notified that the
submitted design was denied and that the variance
was the appropriate appeai mechanism . The
applicant failed to appeal the County ' s denial and
fiiled a plot plan with the City s � bsequent the City
taking over planning services . This new application
was denied by staff because the design once again
did not conform to the height limits . The applicant
is now appealing that denial in the form of this
variance application .
B . Concerns : Compliance with development standards and
goais of the proposed General Plan , estMetics and
compatibiiity with surrounding land uses .
Compliance to development standards / General Plan :
The current code does not allow for the
construction of a residence in Zone R - t to exceed
two ( 2 ) filoors and a cellar or one floor above a
basemeht . The standards which are currently being
drafited in the City ' s new development code would
allow fior a two floor residence evith the height
limited to 3@ feet . The residence , With the current
design , would not conform to this height standard '
either .
CompatibilitV : The proposed residence is similar to
other resldences in The Country . In the past , many
projects �vere approved through Los Angeles County
Regional Pfanning that would not be approved under
current interpretations of the zoning ordinance .
This residence exceeds the 35 feet height and two
story structural limitations . Although the site
averages 50 percent slope , the necessity for the
design of the structure is predicated on the
desire of the applicant . A residence similar to
adjacent residences could be designed for this
site . Additionally , a design that steps the
residence to follow the natural terrain more
closely is another alternative .
The design submitted for review is more massive and
seeks to implement a design that is not consistent
with the existing adjacent residences . In the
immediate vicinity of the proposed project , there
are no residences that e ;< ceed the requirements ot
the zoning ordinance . AII the r � sidences in the
vicinity are two floors oe two filoors and a cellar .
7he project fs a low intensity use that wiil
generate heavy equ � ipment traffiic during the
construction phase of the project . The construction
equipment is limited to hours of operation between
hours of 7 : 00 am to 6 : 00 pm . The proposed project
will create sound exceeding the current Ievels , but
only during the construction phase ofi the project .
tll . PtNDiNGS OF FACT :
1 . That because ofi special circumstances or exceptionai
characteristics appiicable to the property , the strict
application ofi the code does not deprive the property of
the privileges enjoyed By other property in the vicin ) ty
and under identical zoning classifiication ; and
2 . That the adjustment authorized will constitute a grant
of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations
placed upon other properties in the viclnity and zone fh
which the property is situated ; and
3 . That strict application of zoning regulations as they
apply to such property wilt not result in practical
difiPiculties or unnecessary hardships inconsistent with
the generaf purpose o � such regufations and standards ;
and
4 . That such adjustment will be materially detrimental to
the public health , safety or general welfare , or to the
use , en } oyment or valuation of property of othei� persons
located In the vicinity .
IV . PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE :
This item has been advertised in the San Gabriel Tribune
and Propress Buffetin ne �vspapers as a pubiic hearing .
Notices have been sent to property o �vners within a 700
fioot radius of project site .
V . RECOMMENDATION :
The planning staff recommends denial of the
variance application based on noncompliance with
the zoning ordinance , development standards , and
nonconformity to surrounding resfdences .

(
IV. Determfnatfon :
On the basis of this Initial evaluation :
� /
I find that the proposed proJeci COULD NOT have a �significant eifect on the environment, �
and a NEGATNE DECLARAT(ON wiit be prepared . ✓
I find that although the proposed project couid have a signiticant effect on the environment,
there wiil not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described
on the attached sheet have been incorporated into the proposed project.
A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPAflED.
I iind that the proposed project MAY have a signiticant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL tMPACT REPORT is required.
