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, 22.58, and 22.36.060 this Planning Commission hereby finds and recommends as follows: Development Review Findings (,DBMC Section 22.48) 1. The design and layout of the proposed development are consistent with the general plan, 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 proposed building for Chase Bank is consistent with the applicable elements of the City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines and development standards by meeting all of the required setbacks. The proposed building has been designed to be complementary to the existing renovated buildings within the shopping center and its massing has been skillfully designed to fit the site and its surroundings. The project site is not a part of any theme areas, specific plans, community plans, boulevards or planned developments. 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 building for Chase Bank will not interfere with the use or enjoyment of neighboring existing or future developments because the use of the project site is designated for commercial uses and is within an existing shopping center. The proposed building for a bank will not interfere with vehicular or pedestrian movements, such as access or other functional requirements. A supplemental 2 DR/CUP/CSP PL2012-444 circulation study concluded that the proposed project design has adequate queuing spaces available for the proposed drive-thru facilities and will be more than adequate to accommodate the expected vehicle demand. In addition, striped concrete pedestrian walkways are proposed between the proposed bank building and the parking lot in the center, which will provide for safe pedestrian activity in the center. 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 this chapter, the general plan, or any applicable specific plan; The architectural style is the same contemporary style as the existing buildings in the shopping center. The proposed project is designed to be compatible with the shopping center, and incorporated architectural details and colors to match the existing renovated buildings within the shopping center. 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 and color, and will remain aesthetically appealing; The design of the new bank building is a contemporary style of architecture to match the existing renovated buildings within the shopping center. Variation in the building elements has been achieved through the utilization of varying architectural features such as towers and parapet walls, building colors and materials, and landscaping. The project has a sense of balance, involving well- proportioned masses and roof design. 5. The proposed development will not be detrimental to the 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, and Los Angeles County Fire Department requirements, The referenced agencies, through the permit and inspection process 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 15302 (b) (replacement of a commercial structure with a new structure of substantially the same size, purpose, and capacity) of the CEQA guidelines. 3 DR/CUP/CSP PL2012-444 Conditional Use Permit Review Findings (DBMC Section 22.58) 7. 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 22.10.030, Table 2-6, drive-thru facilities are permitted in the C-2 zoning district with approval of a conditional use permit. Through compliance with the conditions of approval stipulating the manner in which the use must be conducted, the Proposed Use will be compatible with existing uses in the shopping center. 8. 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 bank with drive-thru lanes meets Strategy 1.3.3 because the proposed drive- thru bank facility provides services to Diamond Bar residents. The Project Site is not subject to the provisions of any specific plan. 9. 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 a multi -tenant shopping center occupied by various restaurants, child daycare center, specialized education centers, professional offices, and service uses. In addition, the shopping center has a Starbucks with an existing drive-thru lane. As such, the operational characteristics are compatible with the existing uses within the shopping center. Through compliance with the conditions of approval stipulating the manner in which the use must be conducted, the Proposed Use will be compatible with the other uses within the shopping center. 10. The subject property 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 shopping center that currently has numerous retail, service, and office uses. The shopping center also has a Starbucks that has an existing drive-thru lane. In addition, the existing restaurant building has a drive-thru facility. A circulation study was submitted by the applicant verifying that the proposed project has appropriate vehicle queuing capacity for the facility, design, and location. The study states that the proposed design will be more than adequate to accommodate the expected vehicle demand. The Proposed Use is physically suitable on the subject site because the proposed project is a replacement of an existing commercial building with drive- thru services with a new structure of substantially the same size. In addition, 4 DR/CUP/CSP PL2012-444 the Proposed Use is intended to operate within an existing shopping center and will be using existing access and parking in the shopping center. 11. 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; and 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 and Public Works Department. 12. The Proposed Use 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 15302 (b) (replacement of a commercial structure with a new structure of substantially the same size, purpose, and capacity) of the CEQA Guidelines. Comprehensive Siqn Program Findings (DBMC Section 22.36.06 1 The comprehensive sign program satisfies the purpose of this chapter and the intent of this section; The comprehensive sign program satisfies the purpose and intent of the development code by integrating the signage with the design of the building and having specific requirements for signs proposed on the building. 2. The signs enhance the overall development, are in harmony with, and are visually related to other signs included in the comprehensive sign program and to the structure and/or uses they identify, and to surrounding development; The proposed comprehensive sign program enhances the overall development by limiting the wall signage to the south and east elevations of the building. All signage is limited to a single line of text, with a maximum of 24 -inches in height. The proposed signs are individual channel letters, illuminated using neon lighting. All sign lighting power sources shall be located at the building interior. Corporate fonts, colors, and logos will be used for all proposed signage. The proposed signage is appropriate with the building and is complementary to the signage in the shopping center. All other proposed signage is for ATM machines, drive-thru lanes, and also includes refacing the existing monument signs. 3. The comprehensive sign program accommodates future revisions which may be required due to changes in uses or tenants; and The comprehensive sign program accommodates future revisions by having minor changes reviewed by staff and the Community Development Director, and any major changes to be reviewed by the Planning Commission. 5 DR/CUP/CSP PL2012-444 Q 4. The comprehensive sign program complies with the standards of this chapter, except that flexibility is allowed with regard to sign area, number, location, and/or height to the extent that the comprehensive sign program will enhance the overall development and will more fully accomplish the purposes of this chapter. The comprehensive sign program complies with the standards of Chapter 22.36 and will enhance the overall development through consistency with the City's Design Guidelines for commercial signage, uniformity and easy identification of the signs, and neighborhood compatibility.
