B. RESOLUTION
NOW, THEREFORE, it is found, determined and resolved by the Planning Commission
of the City of Diamond Bar as follows:
1. The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth
in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct; and
2. The Planning Commission hereby determines the Project to be Categorically
Exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to Article 19 under
15301(e) (additions to existing structures) and 15311 (accessory structures) of

C. FINDINGS OF FACT
Based on the findings and conclusions set forth_ herein and as prescribed under
Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Sections 22.48 and 22.58, this Planning
Commission hereby finds as follows:
Development Review Findings (DBMC Section 22.48.040)
1. The design and layout of the proposed development is consistent with the
applicable elements of the City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines, and
development standards of the applicable district, design guidelines, and
architectural criteria for special areas (e.g., theme areas, specific plans,
community plans, boulevards or planned developments).
The design and layout of the proposed building, exterior and landscaping
renovation is consistent with the City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines and
Development Code standards.
The City's General Plan Policy LU-P-1 ensures that the scale and massing of
new development provides sensitive transitions_ or design techniques in building
height, bulk, and landscaping to minimize impacts on adjacent, less intensive
uses, particularly residential uses Although the project will significantly upgrade
the buildings to a more modern theme, the overall building scale and massing
are not changing since all existing buildings will be utilized, The maximum height
of the tallest building remains unchanged. There is existing landscaping
throughout the perimeter of the site, consisting of mature trees, shrubs and
hedges that provides an appropriate buffer to the adjacent residential land uses.
Additionally, adjacent residential land uses are at a higher grade which further
reduces potential impacts.
The buildings will be updated to a modern design that blends the old with the
new, by introducing new roof lines, architectural projections and a coordinated
palette of finish materials such as wood, glass, metal, smooth stucco, large open
windows, and a coordinated vibrant color scheme. As such, there is variation of
scale, pattern and texture of the buildings and landscaping elements to
encourage a more visually interesting project [City's Design Guidelines B.
Architecture (20)].
2 PC Resolution No. 2021-02
With the exception of the existing legal nonconforming parking spaces, the
Project complies with all development standards of the Low Medium 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 Project will not interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring
existing or future developments because the use of the project site is existing and
the main sanctuary area is not increasing. The purpose of the new children's
center building is to serve the existing congregation with the addition of a
reception area and additional room for staff, and is ancillary to the main church
use.
The Proposed Project will not interfere with vehicular or pedestrian movements,
such as access or other functional requirements of a church because it complies
with the requirements fordriveway 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 Proposed Project is compatible with the character of the surrounding
neighborhood in that it will maintain the existing church facility. The main
sanctuary area is not increasing and the purpose of the new children's center
building is to serve the existing congregation with the addition of a reception area
and additional room for staff, and is ancillary to the main church use. "Efree
Church" has been in operation at this location since 1982. It is surrounded by
residential land uses and a commercial center to the west. The project will not
negatively affect the existing surrounding land uses as it is currently being utilized
as a church facility, and the design and appearance of the proposed project is
unique, but compatible with the surrounding community. The operational
characteristics will not change and are compatible with the existing uses within
the neighborhood. Additionally, the modern theme of the Proposed Project uses
design elements, colors and materials that are consistent with the City's Design
Guidelines.
4. The design of the proposed development will provide a desirable environment for
its occupants and visiting public as well as its neighbors through good aesthetic
use of materials, texture, color, and will remain aesthetically appealing.
The applicant is proposing to update the architecture to a modern design that
blends the old with the new, by introducing a coordinated palette of finish
materials, roof lines, and architectural projections. The project will significantly
upgrade the aesthetics of the subject property by updating the buildings to a more
3 PC Resolution No. 2021-02
modern theme and create an inviting main entrance with gathering areas.
Additionally, the updated landscaping will provide shade for parked cars, reduce
the visual impact of the parking lot, enhance the architecture, and break up the
building mass.
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 CEQA
pursuant to Article 19 under 1530 1 (e) (additions to existing structures) and 15311
(accessory structures) of the CEQA Guidelines.
Conditional Use Permit Review Findings (DBMC Section 22.58)
1. The Proposed Use is allowed within the subject zoning district with the approval
of a conditional use permit and complies with all other applicable provisions of
this Development Code and the Municipal Code.
Pursuant to DBMC Section 22.08.030 Table 2-3, religious places of worship —as
defined by DBMC Section 22.80.020—are permitted in the RLM zoning district
with approval of a conditional use permit. The purpose of the new children's
center building is to serve the existing congregation with the addition of a
reception area and additional room for staff. The proposed outdoor
improvements will be located within the existing facility. Through compliance with
the conditions of approval stipulating the manner in which the use must be
conducted, the Proposed Use will be compatible with neighboring uses in the
surrounding neighborhood.
2. The Proposed Use is consistent with the general plan and any applicable specific
plan.
The Proposed Use is consistent with General Plan Goal LU-G-6: ("Preserve
existing residential neighborhoods to retain the qualities Diamond Bar residents
love, such as easy access to preserved natural open spaces, while supporting
and encouraging welt -designed, complete neighborhoods with safe streets,
access to shopping and services, and community parks and gathering places')
in that the Proposed Use will continue to provide religious services to Diamond
Bar residents.
4
PC Resolution No. 2021-02
The Project 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 Proposed Use is located within an existing neighborhood that has a diversity
fuses, including single-family residences and other retail and service uses. The
location, size and operating characteristics are not changing with the existing
church.
Through compliance with the conditions of approval stipulating the manner in
wMich the use must be conducted, the Proposed Use is and will continue to be
compatible with the other uses within the neighborhood.
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 Project site is located within an existing church facility. There are 114 parking
spaces at the existing site. The proposed adjustments to the parking lot will result
in no net loss to the number of parking spaces provided and all existing driveway
widths will remain intact. Since the purpose of the new children's center building
is to serve the existing congregation, additional parking spaces were not required.
Based on these observations, there is likely a sufficient amount of parking for
current and future uses to accommodate peak -period demands. Given the same
operational characteristics, the overall parking demands, and the types of
adjoining uses, it is reasonable to conclude that the Proposed Use is and will
continue to be compatible with the other uses within the neighborhood.
The Proposed Use is physically suitable with the subject site because it will be
located at an existing church facility. In addition, the Proposed Use is intended
to operate within the existing church facility site and will be using existing access
and parking.
5. Granting the conditional use permit will not be detrimental to the public interest,
health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or injurious to persons, property, or
improvements in the vicinity and zoning district in which the property is located.
Prior to the issuance of any city permits, the Project is required to comply with all
conditions of approval within the attached resolution, the Building and Safety
Division and Public Works Department.
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.
rj PC Resolution No. 2021-02
