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 the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to the provisions of Article 19, Section 15303(a)
(Construction of a New Single Family Residence) 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) Sections 22.48 and 22.52, 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 10,414 square -foot single family
residence with two attached three -car garages totaling 1,888 square feet is
consistent with the City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines and
development standards with exception except for the front setback. The
architectural style is a Mediterranean design and also provides earth -tone
shades for the exterior finish to soften the building's visual impact and assist in
preserving the hillside's aesthetic value.
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 residence 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 home will riot 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
grades.
3. The architectural design of the proposed development is compatible with the
character of the surrounding neighborhood and will maintain and enhance the
2
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2012-04
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 new single-family home is designed to be compatible with the character of
the eclectic neighborhoods in The Country Estates. It is designed in the
Mediterranean style of architecture with earth -tone shades for the exterior
finish to soften the building's visual impact and assist in preserving the
hillside's aesthetic value.
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 new single-family home is a Mediterranean style of
architecture. Variation in the building elements has been achieved through
the utilization of varying architectural features, building materials, and
landscaping.
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 a// conditions within the approved resolution, and the Building and
Safety Division and Public Works Departments, and Los Angeles County Fire
Department 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.
Minor Variance Findings 32.040)
1 There are special circumstances applicable to the property (e.g., location,
shape, size, surroundings, topography, or other conditions), so that the strict
application of the City's Development Code denies the property owner
privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity and under identical
zoning districts or creates an unnecessary and non -self created, hardship or
unreasonable regulation which makes it obviously impractical to require
compliance with the development standards;
3
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2012-04
The Minor Variance is a request to reduce the front yard setback from a
required minimum of 30 feet to 24 feet. The project site has a steep natural
average slope of 25%, making it imperative for the project to stay as close to
the street as possible in order to minimize the number of retaining walls and
the amount of fill material that will be imported to create the building pad. To
achieve the required depth of the front yard a substantial amount of additional
grading will be required and additional retaining walls would have to be
constructed, which conflicts with the City's goal to maintain as much of the
environment as possible in a natural state. In light of these facts, the granting
of the requested Minor Variance is an appropriate means to help achieve this
goal.
2. Granting the Variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of
substantial property rights possessed by other property owners in the same
vicinity and zoning districts and denied to the property owner for which the
Variance is sought;
The granting of the requested Minor Variance will allow the subject
property to be developed and used in a manner similar to that which is
enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity which are not similarly
encumbered by the topographical conditions constraining the subject
property.
3. Granting the Variance is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable
specific plan;
The Minor Variance is consistent with the General Plan. A goal of the
General Plan is to preserve the environment in a natural state when
possible. The granting of the Minor Variance will substantially reduce the
amount of grading needed to create a building site.
4. The proposed entitlement would not be detrimental to the public interest,
health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City; and
The requested minor variance affects only the property in question. The
reduction in the front yard setback is consistent with the development
techniques used in similar situations.
5. The proposed entitlement 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) (New Construction of One Single -Family Residence) of the
CEQA Guidelines.
Based upon the findings and conclusion set forth above, the Planning Commission hereby
approves this Application Subject to the following conditions:
4
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2012-04
1 Development shall substantially comply with the plans and documents
presented to the Planning Commission at the public hearing regarding this
proposed project.

designed to meet the requirements of the Los Angeles County Fire
Department's Fuel Modification Plan Guidelines in terms of plant selection,
placement and maintenance. The final landscape and fuel modification plans
shall be submitted to the Los Angeles Fire Department for review and
approval.
3. Prior to building plan check submittal, the applicant shall submit an updated
arborist report to the Planning Division. No tree on the subject property may be
destroyed until the updated arborist report has been approved by the Planning
Division.
4. Tree replacement shall be planted at a minimum 3:1 ratio for the removal of
any protected black walnut trees.
5. Fifty percent of the required replacement trees shall be 24 -inch box
