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.
