PROJECT LOCATION: Citywide SUBJECT: Continued use of teleconferencing in accordance with Assembly Bill 361 for meetings of the Planning Commission subject to State open meeting laws. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS: The Ralph M. Brown Act (“Brown Act”) requires that all meetings of a legislative body of a local agency be open and public, that a physical location for such meetings be provided, and that the public be permitted to provide public comment during the meetings – with some exceptions as defined under the law. Due to the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the California Legislature passed Assembly Bill 361 (AB 361), which authorizes a local agency to use teleconferencing without complying with certain teleconferencing requirements imposed by the Brown Act when: (1) the legislative body of a local agency holds a meeting during a declared state of emergency; (2) when state or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing; and/o r (3) when a local agency has determined that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees. The Planning Commission first utilized the provisions of AB 361 on February 22, 2022. In order to continue to have the ability to use the modified teleconferencing options, AB 361 requires that the Planning Commission re-affirm its findings every 30 days. Conditions under which AB 361 may be utilized continue to exist as described in the CITY OF DIAMOND BAR ~ 21810 COPLEY DRIVE ~ DIAMOND BAR, CA 91765 ~ TEL. (909) 839-7030 ~ FAX (909) 861-3117 4.2 Packet Pg. 11 CONTINUED USE OF TELECONFERENCING IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASSEMBLY BILL 361 FOR MEETINGS OF THE DIAMOND BAR CITY PLANNING COMMISSION SUBJECT TO STATE OPEN MEETING LAWS. Page 2 of 2 attached Resolution (Attachment A). The provisions of AB 361 allowing the modified teleconferencing will expire January 1, 2024. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the attached Resolution (Attachment A), providing for continued use of teleconferencing and other formats as defined and in compliance with Assembly Bill 361 for meetings of the Planning Commission.

WHEREAS, on March 4, 2020, California Governor Newsom declared a State of Emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic; WHEREAS, on March 12, 2020, to address the impacts of COVID-19, Governor Newsom issued Executive Orders that required, among other things, residents of California to follow orders and guidance of local public health officials, including social distancing and masking requirements; WHEREAS, existing California law, the Ralph M. Brown Act (“Brown Act”) requires, with specified exceptions, that all meetings of a legislative body of a local agency, as those terms are defined, be open and public , that a physical location for such meetings be provided, and that the public be permitted to provide public comment during the meetings; WHEREAS, the Brown Act permits members of legislative bodies to teleconference into public meetings subject to certain conditions, including that the place from which the member teleconferences be open to the public, that an agenda be posted on the site, and that the teleconference location be noticed in the agenda; WHEREAS, in recognition that such public gatherings at such meetings could accelerate the spread of COVID-19, Governor Newsom’s Executive Orders suspended, among others, these Brown Act teleconferencing requirements to provide local agencies with greater flexibility to hold meetings via teleconferencing safely; WHEREAS, pursuant to the Emergency Services Act (Government Code sections 8550 et seq.), and Chapter 8.00 of Title 8 of the Diamond Bar Municipal Code, the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar has proclaimed the continued existence of a local emergency resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic; WHEREAS, as of September 30, 2021, the Governor’s Executive Order suspending the Brown Act’s teleconferencing requirements is set to expire; WHEREAS, on September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill 361 (AB 361), which authorizes a local agency to continue to use teleconferencing without complying with certain teleconferencing requirements imposed by the Brown Act when: (1) the legislative body of a local agency holds a meeting during a declared state of emergency; (2) when state or local health officials have imposed or recommended 4.2.a Packet Pg. 13 2 PC Reso AB361 measures to promote social distancing; and/or (3) when a local agency has determined that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees; WHEREAS, both Los Angeles County and state health officials continue to recommend social distancing due to a recent increase in COVID-19 cases believe to be caused by the so-call Omicron Variant; WHEREAS, the Planning Commission must approve a Resolution reaffirming that the requirements set forth in AB 361 exist every 30 days in order to allow members of its legislative bodies to utilize the provisions of AB 361 when attending public meetings via teleconferencing; and WHEREAS, notwithstanding that the City’s legislative bodies, as defined by the Brown Act, are now holding modified public meetings in person, there may be situations in which a member of one of these legislative bodies decides not to attend in person due to a particular health or safety risk posed by such attendance and as such, it is the Planning Commission’s desire to permit members of the Planning Commission to attend by way of teleconference pursuant to AB 361 due to health and safety concerns associated with COVID-19. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar as follows: 1. That the above recitals are true and correct. and based thereon, that the spread and potential further spread of COVID -19 poses an imminent risk to the public health and safety. 2.

That meeting in person may pose an imminent risk to the health and safety of some attendees, including members of the Planning Commission, who due to age, health conditions, or vaccination status, have a higher risk of contracting COVID-19 and are more likely to get severely ill and in some cases, die from COVID-19. 4. That during the effective period of this Resolution and any reaffirmation thereof, members of the Planning Commission may participate in meetings subject to the Brown Act by way of teleconference in accordance with AB 361. 5. That meetings shall be held in accordance with AB361 by, among other things, providing notice to the public how it can access the meeting and provide public comment, providing an opportunity for the public to attend via a call-in or an internet-based service option, conducing the meeting in a 4.2.a Packet Pg. 14 3 PC Reso AB361 manner which protects the statutory and constitutional rights of the public, and stopping the meeting until public access is restored in the event of a service disruption. IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED that this Resolution is effective for 30 days from its adoption date and must be affirmed/acknowledged every 30 days by the Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar in order for the provisions of Assembly Bill 361 to continue to apply to teleconferencing by members of the Planning Commission.

SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application to operate a veterinary clinic (Phillip An Veterinary Services) in an 1,850 square -foot tenant space at The Ranch Shopping Center. Overnight boarding will not be offered. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the attached Resolution (Attachment 1) approving Conditional Use Permit No. PL2021-97, based on the findings of Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Section 22.58, subject to conditions. CITY OF DIAMOND BAR ~ 21810 COPLEY DRIVE ~ DIAMOND BAR, CA 91765 ~ TEL. (909) 839-7030 ~ FAX (909) 861-3117 7.1 Packet Pg. 16 Conditional Use Permit Planning Case No. PL2021-97 Page 2 of 9 BACKGROUND: Phillip An Veterinary Services is proposing to locate within The Ranch Shopping Center, located on the east side of Diamond Bar Boulevard, south of Highland Valley Road. The shopping center consists of approximately 60,706 square feet of floor area and includes tenants consisting of retail, restaurants, real estate offices, a dance school, an adult day care and personal services. The center is comprised of attached inline tenant spaces and one pad building fronting Diamond Bar Blvd. Phillip An Veterinary Services is proposing to locate in the vacant tenant space at the east end of the center, previously occupied by a security service office, Southwest Patrol, Inc. There are 238 total off-street parking spaces on site. The property is legally described as Lots 14 through 17 of Tract Map 34803. The Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) is 8706-002-056. Site and Surrounding General Plan, Zoning and Land Uses The following table describes the surrounding land uses located adjacent to the subject property: General Plan Designation Zoning District Land Use Site Neighborhood Mixed Use OP Commercial Shopping Center Consisting of Retail, Service and Restaurant Uses North Neighborhood Mixed Use OP Commercial Shopping Center Consisting of a Bowling Alley, Retail, Service and Restaurant Uses South Neighborhood Mixed Use OP Automobile Repair Station East Low Density Residential RL Single-Family Residential West N/A N/A 57 Freeway 7.1 Packet Pg. 17 Conditional Use Permit Planning Case No. PL2021-97 Page 3 of 9 Storefront of Proposed Business Location Site (Plan View) Aerial 7.1 Packet Pg. 18 Conditional Use Permit Planning Case No. PL2021-97 Page 4 of 9 Project Description The applicant will provide veterinary services for dogs, cats and small mammals. Services will include routine care and vaccination, hospitalization and treatment of medical conditions and illnesses, medical grooming procedures, advanced diagnostics (laboratory testing, x-ray and ultrasound imaging), surgical procedures, community outreach programs and public health initiatives. The kennel space will be used for temporary boarding for pets during medical treatments and recuperation after procedures. Business will be conducted within defined business hours on an appointment-only basis but will make exceptions to provide medical care to emergency and urgent needs during business hours. Critically ill patients requiring extended medical care will be transferred to the neighboring overnight animal hospital and no pets will be hospitalized, boarded or kept overnight at the project location. The design includes additional sound-control measures at the demising walls and ceiling to mitigate noise transmission. Staff will consist of one veterinarian, two assistants/technicians, and one receptionist with future plans to hire an additional doctor. The hours of operation will be six days a week, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and closed Sundays. The proposed space consists of a waiting room with reception desk, three exam rooms, X-ray room, procedure room, isolation area, office, storage room, staff lounge, cat ward, two restrooms and a patient treatment area with kennels.

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 of the propo sed veterinary clinic were to close the business, a new tenant could locate in the space and operate the same type of business. The new tenant would be required to comply with the same conditions as the previous tenant and would not be permitted to expand the veterinary clinic without full review and approval by the Planning Commission. Required Parking The required number of parking spaces for veterinary clinics and hospitals is one space for each 250 square feet of gross floor area, plus one space for each 800 square feet of boarding area, and shopping centers between 20,000 and 50,000 square feet in size are required to provide one parking space for every 250 square feet of gross floor area for commercial uses that are not subject to approval of a CUP. The parking requirement for businesses approved under a CUP (e.g., schools, tutoring, health/fitness studios, etc.) are calculated separately. The Ranch Shopping Center provides 238 off-street parking spaces. The parking required for the current palette of uses minus the proposed veterinary clinic is 214 spaces. The proposed veterinary clinic requires seven spaces based on Development Code requirements. The total off-street parking requirement for the center would thus be 221 spaces, leaving a technical surplus of 17 spaces. 7.1 Packet Pg. 21 Conditional Use Permit Planning Case No. PL2021-97 Page 7 of 9 Parking Demand When reviewing parking impacts on commercial centers, the various uses and peak business hours for those uses are taken into consideration. Ranch Center has uses ranging from a dance studio, restaurant, offices, and other retail and service uses. The peak parking demand typically occur on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 6:0 0 p.m. Approximately half of the businesses in the center are uses that are open during peak hours. The proposed veterinary clinic will be open Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and closed Sundays. Based on their business proposal, seven parking spaces are required to accommodate parking. Under a parking demand scenario, one additional space would be required compared to the City’s development code parking requirement. The parking demand anticipates a requirement of five vehicles for the employees and three vehicles for customers at the veterinary clinic based on the number of exam rooms available, which totals to eight required parking spaces. Since 238 parking spaces are available, there would still be a surplus of 32 spaces under this scenario. Parking Demand City’s Development Code Parking Requirement Use Sq. Ft.

If at any time, the City finds that the proposed use is causing a parking deficiency or other land use impact, the Community Development Director may refer the matter back to the Planning Commission to consider amending the CUP to address such impacts. Compatibility with Neighborhood The Ranch Center has a diversity of uses, including a dance studio, restaurant, offices, and other retail and service uses. Given the proposed hours of operation, the availability of parking, and types of adjoining uses, it is reasonable to conclude that the veterinary clinic will be compatible with the other uses in the center. Noise: As mentioned above, there will not be any pet boarding. Animals will be housed within the facility and will not be exercised outside. To alleviate any potential noise concerns, the facility is designed to include additional sound-control measures at the demising walls and ceiling with a sound transmission class (STC) rating of 55 and six-inch-thick sound insulation above the entire ceiling. STC ratings identify the level of noise reduction through a medium in decibels. An STC rating of 20 is considered poor while a rating of 60 is considered excellent. Exterior noise impacts are highly unlikely. Moreover, the residence nearest to the facility is approximately 200 feet away, and is buffered by an 80-foot tall, landscaped slope. As such, animal noise from within the veterinary office would be nearly impossible to detect. Given the proposed hours of operation, the availability of parking, types of adjoining uses, and noise control, it is reasonable to conclude that the veterinary clinic will Rear of Tenant Space 7.1 Packet Pg. 23 Conditional Use Permit Planning Case No. PL2021-97 Page 9 of 9 continue to be compatible with the other uses in the center and the surrounding neighborhood. Additional Review The Building and Safety Division reviewed this project and included their comments in the attached resolution as conditions of approval.

PL2021-97, TO OPERATE A 1,850 SQUARE-FOOT VETERINARY CLINIC LOCATED AT 838 NORTH DIAMOND BAR BOULEVARD, DIAMOND BAR, CA (APN 8706-002-056). A. RECITALS 1. Property owner, Foremost Diamond Ranch, LLC, and applicant, Phillip An, DVM, have filed an application for Conditional Use Permit No. PL 2021-97 to operate an 1,850 square-foot veterinary clinic within an existing 60,706 square-foot multi-tenant commercial center. The project site is more specifically described as 838 N. Diamond Bar Blvd., Diamond Bar, Los Angeles County, California. Hereinafter in this resolution, the subject Conditional Use Permit shall collectively be referred to as the “Proposed Use.” 2. The Project Site is made up of one parcel totaling 5.4 acres. It is located in the Professional Office (OP) zone with a General Plan land use designation of Neighborhood Mixed Use. 3. The legal description of the subject property is Lots 14 through 17 of Tract Map 34803. The Assessor’s Parcel Number is 8706-002-056. 4. On February 11, 2022, notification of the public hearing for this project was published in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune newspaper. On February 11, 2022, public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within a 700- foot radius of the Project site and posted at the City’s designated community posting sites. 5. On February 22, 2022, the Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar conducted a duly noticed public hearing, solicited testimony from all interested individuals, and concluded said hearing on that date. 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. 7.1.a Packet Pg. 25 2 PC Resolution No. 2022-XX 2. The Planning Commission hereby determines the Proposed Use to be Categorically Exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the provisions of Article 19, Section 15301(a) (Interior alterations involving partitions and electrical conveyances) of the CEQA Guidelines. Therefore, no further 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 22.58, this Planning Commission hereby finds and approves as follows: 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. The Ranch Center was constructed in 1982, prior to the City’s incorporation. Although the site is zoned Professional Office (OP), the existing land uses and layout of the center is more indicative of commercial zoning, such as in the Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) and Community Commercial (C-2) districts. A veterinary clinic is permitted in both commercial and office zones with a CUP. 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 commercial center and 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 Strategy 1.3.3: (“Encourage neighborhood serving retail and service commercial uses”) in that the proposed business would provide veterinary services to Diamond Bar residents. 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 commercial center that has a diversity of uses, including a dance studio, restaurant, offices, and other retail and service uses. The Proposed Use is compatible with the other uses within the commercial center. 7.1.a Packet Pg. 26 3 PC Resolution No. 2022-XX Business will be conducted within defined business hours on an appointment-only basis but will make exceptions to provide medical care to emergency and urgent needs during business hours. There will be temporary boarding for pets during medical treatments and recuperation after procedures. Critically ill patients requiring extended medical care will be transferred to the neighboring overnight animal hospital and no pets will be hospitalized, boarded or kept overnight at the project location. To alleviate any potential noise concerns, the facility is designed to include additional sound-control measures at the demising walls and ceiling with an STC rating of 55 and six-inch-thick sound insulation above the entire ceiling. STC stands for sound transmission class and an STC rating of 20 is considered poor while a rating of 60 is con sidered excellent. Furthermore, the closest residence to the facility is approximately 200 feet away, buffered by an 80-foot tall, landscaped slope. As such, the design, location and operational characteristics associated with the Proposed Use are compatible with the existing uses within the center and surrounding 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 Project site is located within an existing commercial center that currently has a diversity of uses, including a dance studio, restaurant, offices, and other retail and service uses. There are 238 parking spaces at the existing shopping center. The number of parking spaces required for the shopping center minus the veterinary clinic is 214 parking spaces. The proposed veterinary clinic requires 7 spaces based on Development Code requirements, for a total parking requirement of 221 off-street parking spaces leaving a technical surplus of 17 spaces. Under a parking demand scenario, one additional space would be required. Five vehicles for the employees and three vehicles for customers at the veterinary clinic based on the number of exam rooms available totals to eight required parking spaces. Since 238 parking spaces are available, there would still be a surplus of 32 spaces under this scenario. Based on these observations, there is likely a sufficient amount of parking for current and future uses to accommodate peak-period demands. Given the proposed hours of operation, the overall parking demands, and the types of adjoining uses, it is reasonable to conclude that the veterinary clinic will be compatible with the other uses in the commercial center. The Proposed Use is physically suitable with the subject site because it will be located in an existing building. In addition, the proposed use is intended to operate within an existing commercial center and will be using existing access and parking in the center. 7.1.a Packet Pg. 27 4 PC Resolution No. 2022-XX 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 Proposed Use is required to comply with all conditions of approval within the attached resolution, and the Building and Safety Division. 6. The Proposed Use has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The proposed use is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as set forth under Article 19 Section 15301(a) (Interior alterations involving partitions and electrical conveyances) of the CEQA Guidelines. D. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL Based upon the findings and conclusion set forth above, the Planning Commission hereby approves Conditional Use Permit No. PL2021-97, subject to the following conditions: 1. This approval is for the operation of an 1,850 square-foot veterinary clinic within an existing shopping center. Services will include routine care and vaccination, hospitalization and treatment of medical conditions and illnesses, medical grooming procedures, advanced diagnostics (laboratory testing, x-ray and ultrasound imaging), surgical procedures, community outreach programs and public health initiatives., hereafter referred to as the “Use.” 2. The Use shall substantially conform to the approved plans as submitted and approved by the Planning Commission and on file with the Community Development Department. 3. This Conditional Use Permit shall be valid only for 838 N. Diamond Bar Blvd., as depicted on the approved plans on file with the Planning Division. If the proposed use moves to a different location or expands into additional tenant spaces, the approved Conditional Use Permit shall terminate and a new Conditional Use Permit, subject to Planning Commission and/or City Council approval shall be required for the new location. If the U se ceases to operate, the approved Conditional Use Permit shall expire without further action by the City. 4. If, at any time, the City finds that the Use is the cause of a parking deficiency or other land use impact, the Community Development Director may r efer 7.1.a Packet Pg. 28 5 PC Resolution No. 2022-XX the matter back to the Planning Commission to consider amending this Conditional Use Permit to address such impacts. 5. No changes to the approved scope of services as described above shall be permitted unless the applicant first applies for an amendment to this Conditional Use Permit, pays all application processing fees and receives approval from the Planning Commission and/or City Council.
