in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.
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 15301(a) (Interior and Exterior
Alterations to Existing Structure) and (k) (Subdivision of Existing Commercial
Building) of the CEQA Guidelines. Therefore, no further environmental review
is required.
3. The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds and determines that, having
considered the record as a whole including the findings set forth below, there is
no evidence before this Planning Commission that the Proposed Project herein
will have the potential of an adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat
upon which the wildlife depends. Based upon substantial evidence, this
Planning Commission hereby rebuts the presumption of adverse effects
contained in Section 753.5(d) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.
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 21.20.080, 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 exterior fagade remodel 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 and regulations. The
proposed exterior remodel has been designed in a contemporary modern
architectural style and incorporates principles of the modern architecture with its
simple, contemporary materials such as metal louvers, metal screen walls, and
glass. The entrance canopy is a glass barrel vault and the tall glazing openings
at the entry area will incorporate mullions to break up the big glass panels that
provide an inviting entry statement. Metal louvers will be added above the first
floor to break up the verticality between the first and second floors and add
depth and shadow for a more three dimensional and attractive look. The
interior of the building will have skylights on the roof to bring natural light into
the indoor courtyard area. The units facing the indoor courtyard area will have
glazed openings to bring natural light into the office spaces. The indoor
courtyard area will have wood paneling and nylon finish walls, wood floors,
seating and planter areas to create an outdoor atmosphere for the tenants. The
remodel is also consistent with the City's Commercial Design Guidelines
Pages 8-13, which incorporates the following principles:
➢ Monotony of building design as well as busyness is avoided. Variation in
wall place, roof line, detailing materials are used to prevent monotonous
appearance in buildings;
2
Planning Commission Resolution No 2014-06
The exterior building design, including roof style, color, materials,
architectural form and detailing is consistent on all elevations of each
building to achieve design harmony and continuity within itself;
Articulation and accent color for identity and interest is provided for the
building entrances;
Parapet walls are treated as an integral part of the building design;
Contains elements which transition to the human scale, particularly near the
ground; and
> Maximizes natural lighting through interior court areas and skylights.
The project site is part of the Gateway Corporate Center and received approval
on June 13, 2013, from the Architectural Design Committee.
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 improvements 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 surrounded by commercial uses to the
north, east and south. A traffic impact analysis is not warranted because the
Proposed Project improvements do not add square -footage to the existing
building and will reduce the total leasable area by 9,420 square feet.
The proposed improvements will not interfere with vehicular or pedestrian
movements, such as access or other functional requirements,
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 a contemporary modem style and is designed to be
compatible with the character of the area. As referenced in Finding I above,
the Proposed Project is consistent with the development standards of the OB
zoning district, the City's Design Guidelines and Gateway Corporate Center's
Design Guidelines. There is not a specific plan for the project area.
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 exterior fagade remodel and addition is a contemporary
modem style of architecture. Variation in the building elements has been
achieved through the utilization of varying architectural features such as higher
parapet walls and tall glazing openings for the lobby entrance, canopies, and
diffbrent use of building colors and materials. The interior of the building will
3
Planning Commission Resolution No 2014-06
have skylights on the roof to bring natural light into the indoor courtyard area.
The units facing the indoor courtyard area will have glazed openings to bring
natural light into the office spaces. The indoor courtyard area will have wood
paneling and nylon finish walls, wood floors, seating and planter areas to create
an outdoor atmosphere for the tenants.
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:
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 L.A. 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) pursuant to the provisions of
Article 19, Section 15301(x) (Interior and Exterior Alterations to Existing
Structure) and (k) (Subdivision of Existing Commercial Building) of the CEQA
Guidelines. Therefore, no further environmental review is required.
Tentative Map Findings: Pursuant to Subdivision Code Section 21.20.080 of the City's
Subdivision Ordinance, the Planning Commission makes the following findings:
1. The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and
improvement, is consistent with the general plan and any applicable specific
plan:
The Proposed Project involves the condominium subdivision of the site with
21 office units, common open space, parking and driveway areas, and
landscaping. The General Plan land use designation for the site is Professional
Office (OP). The Proposed Project is consistent with the General Plan land use
designation. The project site is apart of a master planned business park.
2. The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of
development:
The proposed condominium subdivision will be consistent with the General Plan
land use designation of Professional Office, which allows for the development of
21 office units in a 51,232 square -foot building. The existing building is setback
37' from Valley Vista Drive and is part of a master planned business park,
located within an urbanized area adequately served by existing roadways and
infrastructure. Therefore, the property is physically able to accommodate the
proposed development.
4
Planning Commission Resolution No 2014-06
3. 'The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements will not cause
substantial environmental damage or injure fish or wildlife or their habitat:
The design of the subdivision will not cause substantial environmental damage
or injure fish or wildlife or their habitat because the existing site is located in an
urbanized area that does not contain habitats or would otherwise injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat.
4. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not cause serious
public health or safety problems:
The proposed subdivision is not likely to cause serious public health or safety
problems because the existing site is located in an urbanized area and is
consistent with other similar improvements in the area.
5. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large for access through or use of,
property within the proposed subdivision:
The site does not have any access easements on-site. The proposed
subdivision will not interfere with vehicular or pedestrian movements, such as
access or other functional requirements of a commercial building,
6. The discharge of sewage from the proposed subdivision into the community
sewer system would not result in violation of existing requirements prescribed
by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board:
The project site shall be served by a separate sewer lateral which shall not
cross any other lot lines. In the event that it is determined that the lot is not
serviced by a separate independent sewer lateral, joint sewer maintenance and
sewer line easements which cross the lot lines shall be identified in the joint
agreements between properties. Therefore, no further environmental review is
required.
7. A preliminary soils report or geologic hazard report does not indicate adverse
soil or geologic conditions:
The property is already improved with an existing building, therefore no soils
report or geologic reports are required.
8. The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable provisions of the
City's subdivision ordinance, the development code, and the subdivision map
act:
The proposed subdivision is consistent with the City's subdivision ordinance,
subdivision map act, and applicable development code. The building complies
with all required setbacks and development code regulations.
Based on the findings and conclusions set forth herein and as prescribed under DBIVIC
Sections 22.48 and 21.20.080, this Planning Commission hereby finds and
