The property’s net buildable area (i.e., minus the private street easement) is 64,469 square feet (1.48 acres). The proposed house is situated toward the center of the lot, approximately 89 feet from the edge of the private street easement line. The entrance to the proposed house faces Shadow Canyon Road. A four-car garage is proposed at the side of the residence that is accessed by a driveway. The applicant is proposing rear yard improvements consisting of a pool and spa. There are seven existing trees on the property that are classified as protected trees: four coast live oak and three California black walnut trees. The applicant is proposing to remove all seven trees to accommodate the development. Anal ysis on the removal of these trees is included under the “Tree Permit” section. Grading Plan The applicant is proposing to cut 27,860 cubic yards of soil towards the front of the property and fill 21,916 cubic yards of soil towards the center and rear of the property to create the proposed building pads. Therefore, 5,101 cubic yards would have to be exported from the site. The applicant is proposing six, four-foot high, tiered keystone retaining walls at the rear of the house, to accommodate the building pad. 7.1 Packet Pg. 12 Development Review and Tree Permit No. PL2019-188 Page 5 of 13 Architecture The architectural style of the home is described as a contemporary Mediterranean with elements such as a low-pitched, hipped s-tile concrete roof; tall vertical windows; light cream colored varied textured stucco finish; stone veneer; aluminum clad, wood windows with dark bronze colored window and door frames; and sand finish stuccoed foam trim around the windows. From the street view, the building has the appearance of a two-story structure (due to ceiling heights up to 18 feet, as well as clearstory windows), while the rear of the building steps down to three levels. The lower level provides open covered retreat areas adjacent to the pool and spa. North Side Elevation East Front Elevation 7.1 Packet Pg. 13 Development Review and Tree Permit No. PL2019-188 Page 6 of 13 The proposed three-level house’s floor plan is comprised of the following components: • Basement floor level: four-car garage, storage areas, powder room; • First floor level: common areas (foyer, den, library, grand room, family room, kitchen, wok kitchen, nook, kitchen), master bedroom suite with a walk-in closet and bathroom, four bedrooms with closet and bathroom, laundry room, outdoor bbq and retreat areas (covered patios); • Attic level: storage areas; and • An elevator providing access to all levels.

ANALYSIS: Review Authority (Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Sections 22.48 and 22.38) 7.1 Packet Pg. 14 Development Review and Tree Permit No. PL2019-188 Page 7 of 13 The proposed project requires Planning Commission review and approval of two entitlement applications: Development Review (DR) and a Tree Permit (TP). The analysis that follows provides the basis for staff’s recommendation to approve the DR and TP applications. Development Review (DBMC Chapter 22.48) New construction of a single-family home requires Planning Commission approval of a Development Review application. Development Review approval is required to ensure compliance with the City’s General Plan policies, development standards, and design guidelines, and to minimize adverse effects of the proposed project upon the surrounding properties and the City in general. 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 the promotion of h igh functional and aesthetic standards to complement and add to the economic, physical, and social character” of Diamond Bar. 7.1 Packet Pg. 15 Development Review and Tree Permit No. PL2019-188 Page 8 of 13 Development Standards: The following table compares the proposed project with the City’s development standards for residential development in the RR zone: Development Feature Residential Development Standards Proposed Meets Requirements Front Setback 30 feet 89 feet Yes Side Setbacks 10 feet on one side and 15 feet on the other 36’ – north side 20’-3” – south side Yes Side Yard Minimum Between Adjoining Structures 25 feet 40’ – north side 137’ – south side Yes Rear Setback 25 feet 40’-4” Yes Lot Coverage Maximum of 30% 13.5% Yes Max.

Trees that are so damaged, diseased or in danger of falling (as verified by an arborist) that cannot be effectively preserved, or its presence is a threat to other protected trees 7.1 Packet Pg. 16 Development Review and Tree Permit No. PL2019-188 Page 9 of 13 or existing or proposed structures are exempted from being replaced at a three to one (3:1) ratio. The applicant submitted a tree report, prepared by a licensed arborist on September 17, 2020 (Attachment 2). There are seven trees on site that are considered protected, including three Southern California black walnut trees with trunk diameters at breast height (DBH) ranging from 9 to 16 inches, and four coast live oak trees with DBH ranging between 8 and 15 inches. All seven trees are proposed to be removed: four coast live oak trees that are in fair and poor health and three Southern California black walnut trees that are in poor health. The trees in fair condition are in located in the areas of grading and cannot be preserved. The trees will be replaced at a 3:1 ratio with nine 15-gallon California black walnut and twelve 15-gallon coast live oak trees around the perimeter of the property, which is required amount of mitigation trees to be planted. The planting of 21 new protected species will provide suffici ent replacement of the natural landscape. Location of Existing Protected Trees to be Removed 7.1 Packet Pg. 17 Development Review and Tree Permit No. PL2019-188 Page 10 of 13 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 the character and topography of hillside areas set forth in the Development Code, and incorporates the following features: • The maximum building height is 31 feet, 10 inches, where 35 feet is allowed; • The home is constructed into the hillside with a basement, which gives the appearance of a two-story structure; • Architectural treatment is provided on all sides of the building with varying setbacks; • All proposed retaining walls associated with the building pads are at a maximum exposed height of four feet; and 7.1 Packet Pg. 18 Development Review and Tree Permit No. PL2019-188 Page 11 of 13 • 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 proposed project is designed to be compatible with the character of the exi sting homes in the neighborhood. The new house will not be intrusive to neighboring homes since the proposed house will not block existing views from adjacent properties. The adjacent property to the north has views to the west and has existing trees that provide screening between the neighboring properties. The adjacent property to the south also has views to the west. 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. The project incorporates the principles of the City’s Residential Design Guidelines as follows: • 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 Estates; • 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; • 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; • 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 7.1 Packet Pg. 19 Development Review and Tree Permit No. PL2019-188 Page 12 of 13 architectural design. Staff finds the proposed plant palette to be diverse, and the plant selections are compatible with Southern California native landscapes.

The City’s General Plan Policy LU-P-56 requires that development on privately- owned, residentially designated land in hillside areas shall be compatible with the surrounding natural areas promoting design principles such as minimizing grading, preserving existing vistas, incorporate site and architectural design that is sensitive to the hillsides, and require fuel modification. A contemporary Mediterranean architectural design is being proposed with earth tone shades for the exterior finish as not to detract from the hillsides. The Project will also be required to implement fuel modification. A gradual transition between the project and adjacent uses is achieved through appropriate setbacks, building height, window and door placement, and the proposed exterior finishes of the single-family residence incorporates 7.1.a Packet Pg. 23 3 PC RESOLUTION NO. 2020-XX various details and architectural elements such as low pitched hipped s-tile roof; tall vertical windows; light cream colored varied textured stucco finish; stone veneer; aluminum clad, wood windows with dark bronze colored window and door frames; and sand finish foam trim around the windows. All elevations are architecturally treated and strongly articulated along the visible façade [City’s Design Guidelines B. Architecture (3)]. The Project complies with all development standards of the Rural Residential zoning district by complying with all development standards such as required setbacks, building height, and lot coverage. 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 developments, 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 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 City’s General Plan Policy LU-P-56 requires that residential development be compatible with the prevailing character of the surrounding neighborhood in terms of building scale, density, massing, and design. The City’s General Plan Goal CC-G-4 also requires the preservation of the scale and character of existing residential neighborhoods and ensure sensitive transitions between densities and uses. The City’s Design Guidelines Architecture (1) requires compatibility with the surrounding character including harmonious building style, form, size, color, material and roofline. The scale and proportions of the proposed home are well balanced and appropriate for the 1.62 gross-acre site. The contemporary Mediterranean architectural style with earth tone shades for the exterior finish is compatible with other homes in the neighborhood since the architecture in The Country is eclectic, and includes a variety of architectural designs. The Project minimizes negative impacts on surrounding uses since the house will not block existing 7.1.a Packet Pg. 24 4 PC RESOLUTION NO. 2020-XX views from adjacent properties. In sum, the 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 contemporary Mediterranean with architectural elements such as low pitched hipped s-tile roof; tall vertical windows; light cream colored varied textured stucco finish; stone veneer; aluminum clad, wood windows with dark bronze colored window and door frames; and sand finish foam trim around the 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 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 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. Tree Permit Finding (DBMC Section 22.38.110) 1. The tree is a public nuisance by causing damage to improvements (e.g., building foundations, retaining walls, roadways/driveways, patios, and decks) and appropriate mitigation measures will be implemented in compliance with DBMC Section 22.38.140 (Tree protection requirements) below. 7.1.a Packet Pg. 25 5 PC RESOLUTION NO. 2020-XX The applicant submitted a tree report, prepared by a licensed arborist dated September 17, 2020, which indicates there are seven protected trees on the property. The applicant is proposing to remove all seven trees, which includes three Southern California black walnut trees and four coast live oak trees with a DBH ranging between 8 and 16 inches. Four coast live oak trees are in fair and poor health and three Southern California black walnut trees are in poor health.
