STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve, subject to conditions
A. Site Description: The site is located in the Diamond Bar Country Estates and is
accessed from Indian Creek Road, which is a fully improved private street. A lot line
adjustment (LLA 95-001) was approved in 1996 to adjust the lot line between the
subject site and 2112 Indian Creek Road. The approved lot line adjustment
provided access to the subject property via an ingress/egress easement across
2112 Indian Creek via a shared driveway. While the lot line adjustment was

therefore, a new lot line adjustment application is undergoing review with the Public
Works Department. Pending approval of the Lot Line Adjustment, the site will be
1.16 acres.
The site is legally described as Lot 14, Tract No. 30093, and the Assessor's Parcel
Number is 8713-041-004.
B. Proiect Description: The applicant requests approval to construct a two-story,
2,859 square -foot single family residence with an attached 624 square -foot garage
on an existing 1.16 acre Parcel. The proposed dwelling unit contains three
bedrooms and four bathrooms. The applicant indicated that upon approval of the
proposed project, the plans will then be submitted to the Diamond Bar Country
Estates Homeowners Association for review and consideration.
There are two California Pepper trees located along the east side property line that
will remain in place and be protected during construction.

2. Site and Grading: The site steeply slopes down from the street with two
level building pad areas, separated by a descending slope. The applicant
indicates that the proposed project will require 23 cubic yards of cut, and
23 cubic yards of fill, resulting in no material being exported from the site.
3. Elevations: The architectural style is a Colonial Revival design with imitation
slate roofing material, stucco walls, stone and brick veneer, and multi -paned
windows. The applicant has provided color samples which call for earth -
toned shades for the exterior finish to soften the buildings visual impact and
assist in preserving the hillside's aesthetic value.
4. Landscaping: The subject
bject 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 submitted preliminary landscape plan
Page 3
DR 2008-19
shows the existing landscape currently in place and the future landscaping
that will comply with the Fire Department's regulations and guidelines.
Due to the configuration of the lot, the 30-foot front setback area that is
considered the front yard is currently fully landscaped and will remain that
way, as the new home will sit back over 200 feet from the front property line.
A limited amount of new landscaping is proposed, as the site is currently
landscaped with lawn and trees, with little of this existing landscaping
proposed to be removed. Two existing trees that are not on the protected
species list will be relocated out of the construction area. All new plant types
will be non-invasive plant species. A condition of approval has been added
requiring the avoidance of invasive species as identified by the California
Plant Council. This condition is not applicable to the California Pepper trees
on the site as they are a protected tree in the City of Diamond Bar.
D. Compliance with Hillside Management Ordinance
The proposed project has been reviewed for compliance with the City's Hillside
Management Design Guidelines and regulations. Section 22.22.120(a)(1) of the
Diamond Bar Municipal Code establishes a height limit of 35 feet as measured from
the finished grade to the highest ridge beam.
E. General Plan, Design Guidelines and Compatibility with Neighborhood
The proposed project complies with the goals and objectives as set forth in the
adopted General Plan in terms of land use and density. The proposed project will
not negatively affect the existing surrounding land uses, and the design and
appearance of the proposed additions are compatible with the existing residence
and surrounding community.
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING:
Public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within a 500-foot radius of the
project site, and the notice was published in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune and the Inland
Valley Daily Bulletin newspapers. A notice display board was posted at the site, and a
copy of the legal notice was posted at the City's designated community posting sites.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
This 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 in accordance with the provisions of
Article 19 Section 15303(a) (New Construction of one single-family residence) of the CEQA
Guidelines. No further environmental review is required.
