Development Review No.
97-5
To convert an end unit of
an existing shopping
center into a Taco Bell
restaurant with a drive-
thru isle and exterior
and interior remodeling.

Irvine, CA 92618
The property owners, Diamond Bar Associates and applicant, Peter
Capriotti of Cotti Foods Corporation are requesting approval of
Development Review No. 97-5 (pursuant to Code Section
22.72.020.A.). The request will convert an end unit (without
adding square footage) of an existing shopping center into a Taco
Bell restaurant with a drive-thru isle. Additionally, interior and
exterior remodeling will occur.
The project site is located at 218 Diamond Bar Boulevard within a
commercial development identified as Diamond Bar Shopping Center.
The center is approximately 8.7 acres. Approximately 102,350
square feet is devoted to structure. The uses within the center
include Von's Supermarket, Savon Drug, Coast Federal Bank, a
restaurant, and general retail. The project site has a General
01
Plan Land Use designation of General Commercial (C). It is within
the Neighborhood Business -Billboard Exclusion (C-2-BE) Zone which
permits fast food restaurants with drive-thru isles. Generally,
the following zones and use surround the project site: to the north
is the Pomona (60) Freeway and the C-2-BE Zone; to the south is the
C-2-BE Zone; to the west is the Commercial Planned Development
(CPD) Zone; and to the east is the Single Family Residence -Minimum
Lot Size 8,000 Square Feet (R-1-8,00) Zone.
The shopping center was reviewed and approved by Los Angeles County
Regional Planning in 1970. At that time, the unit which. Taco Bell
desires to occupy was approved for a pizza restaurant. Since the
closing of the pizza restaurant, the unit has housed several retail
uses. Currently, it is vacant.
ANALYSIS:
In 1990, the City established Development Review Ordinance No.5.
Its purpose is to: support the General Plan's implementation;
stress quality community design standards; encourage an orderly and
harmonious appearance of structures and property; assist
development to be more cognizant with public concerns of
aesthetics; reasonably ensure that new development does not have an
adverse aesthetic, health, safety or architecturally related impact
upon adjoining properties or the City in general and preserve
significant topographic features.
Pursuant to the Development Review Ordinance's Section
22.72.020.A., an application for Development Review is required for
any and all commercial, industrial and institutional development
which involves the issuance of a building permit for construction
or reconstruction of a structure. Therefore, the proposed project,
a commercial development involving the issuance of a building
permit requires Development Review by the Planning Commission.
The interior remodeling of the existing 3,000 square foot unit, as
shown in Exhibit "A", includes the installation of a kitchen with
service area, cooler/freezer, pantry, office, employee lounge, two
restrooms, dining room, entry with customer waiting area.
The exterior remodeling, as shown in Exhibit "A", includes the
installation of a tower - 31 feet high, aluminum door/window
system, metal canopy above the front entry and wood trellis on the
front facade and as the drive-thru canopy. All exterior remodeling
materials and colors will match the existing. The exterior
alterations do not change the architectural style of the shopping
center. The alterations are compatible with the existing
structures and will add interest and variety to the center's
architecture.
Pursuant to the Code, structures utilized for dining shall provide
the number of parking spaces based on occupancy, as calculated by
the Building official. Furthermore, the Los Angeles County
Planning and Zoning Code requires that one parking space be
E
provided for every three occupants. The Building official's
maximum occupancy of 111. Therefore, 37
calculations indicate a max
parking spaces are required. The shopping center's parking area
provides 476 spaces. With the current uses and vacancies, 455
parking spaces are required. considering the uses and their peak
times of operation and the deletion and additions of parr ng ded spacis
due to the Taco Bell drive-thru isle, the parking p
adequate. The parking lot area adjacent to the proposed Taco Bell
and areas affect by this project's proposal will be resurfaced and
restriped
The drive-thru isle will be located on the north side of the
proposed restaurant unit (see Exhibit "A"). The isle's entrance
will occur at the first driveway on Palomino Drive coming from
Diamond Bar Boulevard. The drive-thru isle will be delineated by
stamped and colored concrete, some landscaping and directional
and menu boards
i
sgns. The isle will contain an order speaker
The order speaker will be located approximately 80 feewest of the
t
residential uses which are adjacent to the shopping center's rear
property line. The speaker will face west, emitting sound in that
direction. The speaker's sound emittence from 16 feet, at medium
volume, is 61 dBA. This sound level is equivalent to a dishwasher
at 10 feet, an air conditioning unit at 15 feet, or an electric
typewriter at 10 feet. With the speaker sound emitting in a
westerly direction and the. residences, a minimum of 80 feet east of
the speaker, the speaker sound will not have a significant impact
on the residences.
The shopping center was approved with landscaped areas. However,
some landscaped areas need revitalization (i.e. replacement of dead
or missing shrubs and ground cover). Additionally, the planter
area across the parking lot from the proposed restaurant's main
entry and at the rear of the service station consists of several
pinebut lacks shrubs
that theand ground * It will be
emissing/dead shrubs and ground coverover be replacedrequired
An existing wall, approximately six feet tall, divides the single
family residences from the shopping center. This wall needs repair
and paint. It will be required that the wall be repaired and
painted.
It appears that equipment enclosures exist on the east side of the
restaurant unit. These enclosures shall be stuccoed and painted to
match the shopping center structures. Any conduit, wires, pipes,
etc. which exist or may be installed shall be cover with flashing
painted to match the structure. Ladders utilized for roof
shall be painted to match the structure. Additionally, f trash/
recycling bin enclosure, located at the restaurant unit's east
side, shall be construct from materials which match the structure.
Existing exterior building lighting will be utilized. Sconces will
be added at the restaurant's main entry and front trellis. Down
lighting will be added to the drive-thru isle's trellis.
Additional parking lot lighting standards will not be installed.
R3
The proposed days and hours of operation are Sunday through
Thursday from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from
6:00 a.m. to Midnight. There will be approximately eighteen to
twenty-two employees, with six employees per shift and four shifts
per day.
Supply deliveries will take place twice during the week. The City
requires that these deliveries occur during the restaurant's non -
peak hours.
Signage is not a part of this request. At a later date, the
applicant is required to submit a sign request to the City for
review and approval.
The City�s Public Works Department and Building and Safety Division
reviewed this project. Their recommendations are within the
attached draft resolution.

B. Resolution. ��
NOW, THEREFORE,. it is found, determined and resolved by the
Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar as follows:
i. This Planning Commission hereby specifically finds that
all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of
this Resolution are true and correct.
2. The Planning Commission hereby determines that the
project identified above in this Resolution is
categorically exempt from the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as
amended, and the guidelines promulgated thereunder,
pursuant to Section 15301 (a) Article 19 of Division 13
of the California Code of Regulations.
3. The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds and
determines that, having considered the record as a whole
including the findings set forth below, and changes and
alterations which have been incorporated into and
conditioned upon the proposed project set forth in the
application, there is no evidence before this Planning
Commission that the project proposed herein will have the
potential of an adverse effect on wild life 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.
4. Based on the findings and conclusions set forth herein,
this Planning Commission hereby finds as follows:
(a) The project relates to an 8.7 acre site developed
with a retail shopping center with approximately
102,350 square feet devoted to structure. The
center is identified as Diamond Bar Shopping Center
located at 218 Diamond Bar Boulevard.
(b) The project site has a General Plan Land Use
designation of General .Commercial (C). It is zoned
Neighborhood Business -Billboard Exclusion (C-2-BE).
(c) Generally, the following zones and use surround the
project site: to the north is the Pomona (60)
Freeway and the C-2-BE Zone; to the south is the C-
2-BE Zone; to the west is the Commercial Planned
Development (CPD) Zone; and to the east is the
Single Family Residence -Minimum Lot Size 8,000
Square Feet (R-1-8,00) Zone.
(d) The proposed Development Review is a request to
convert an end unit (without adding square footage)
of an existing shopping center into a Taco Bell
restaurant with a drive-thru isle. Additionally,
interior and exterior remodeling will occur.
(e) The design and layout of the proposed devel is
consistent with the applicable elements of th
City's general plan, design guidelines of the
appropriate district, and any adopted architectura
criteria for specialized area, such as designated
historic districts, theme areas, specific plans,
community plans, boulevards, or planned
developments.
The proposed project does not alter the shopping
center's existing architectural styles or expand the
restaurant unit's square footage. The design and
layout of the proposed restaurant is consistent with
the General Plan in that it will enhance the
existing shopping center by the revitalizing the
center due to the remodeling, landscaping and the
use it self. Furthermore, pursuant to the General
Plan, the proposed restaurant is a permitted use
within the General Commercial land use designation
and a revenue generating use that will aid in
minimizing sale tax leakage out of Diamond Bar.
(f) The design and layout of the proposed development
will not unreasonably interfere with the use and
enjoyment of neighboring existing or future
development and will not create traffic or
pedestrian hazards.
The proposed restaurant is within the Neighborhood -
Business -Billboard Exclusion (C-2-BE) Zone which
permits restaurants by right. This is an
established retail shopping center in which the
proposed Taco Bell unit was approved for a pizza
restaurant in 1970 by Los Angeles Regional Planning.
The drive-thru isle will be located on the north
side of the proposed restaurant unit (see Exhibit
"A"). The isle's entrance will occur at the first
driveway on Palomino Drive coming from Diamond Bar
Boulevard. The drive-thru isle will be delineated
by stamped and colored concrete, some landscaping
and directional signs. It is these measures
utilized for the isle's identification that will
eliminate traffic and pedestrian hazards.
The isle will contain an order speaker and menu
board. The order speaker will be located
approximately 80 feet west of the residential uses
which are adjacent to the shopping center's rear
property line. The speaker will face west, emitting
sound in that direction. The speaker's sound
emittence from 16 feet, at medium volume, is 61 dBA.
This sound level is equivalent to a dishwasher at 10
feet, an air conditioning unit at 15 feet, or an
electric typewriter at l0 feet. With the speaker
sound emitting in a westerly direction and the
residences, a minimum of 80 feet east of the
speaker, the speaker sound will not have a
significant impact on the residences.
3
Pursuant to the Code, structures utilized for
shall provide the number of parking spaces base ��
occupancy, as calculated by the Building Official.
Furthermore, the Los Angeles County Planning and 1
Zoning Code requires that one parking space be
provided for every three occupants. The Building
Official's calculations indicate a maximum occupancy
of 111. Therefore, 37 parking spaces are required.
The shopping center's parking area provides 476
spaces. With the current uses and vacancies, 455
parking spaces are required. Considering the uses
and their peak times of operation and the deletion
and addition of parking spaces due to the Taco Bell
drive-thru isle, the parking provided is adequate.
The parking lot area adjacent to the proposed Taco
Bell and areas affect by this project's proposal
will be resurfaced and restriped.
Due to the above referenced measures, the design and
layout of the proposed restaurant will not
unreasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment of
neighboring existing or future development and will
not create traffic or pedestrian hazards.
(g) The architectural design of the proposed development
is compatible with the character of the surrounding
neighborhood and will maintain the harmonious,
orderly and attractive development contemplated by
Chapter 22.72 of Development Review Ordinance No. 5
(1990) and the City's general plan.
The shopping center was originally processed and
approved through Los Angeles County Regional
Planning 1970. The proposed restaurant does not
alter the shopping center's architectural design.
The architectural design of commercial and
residential development in the surrounding area is
eclectic. The center's architectural style is
Mediterranean. The proposed exterior remodeling and
the tower addition will add interest and variety to
the center's existing architecture through height
variation, texture and color. These exterior
alterations are compatible with the existing
structures within the center and adjacent
commercial development. Therefore, the proposed
project is compatible with the character of the
surrounding neighborhood and will maintain the
harmonious, orderly and attractive development
contemplated by the City's Development Review
Ordinance and General Plan.
(h) 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
that will remain aesthetically appealing and will
retain a reasonably adequate level of maintena'
The originally approved design of the shopping 4%
center will not be altered by the proposed
restaurant. However, the above referenced exterior
alterations (see (e) and (g) above) 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 that
will remain aesthetically appealing and will retain
a reasonably adequate level of maintenance.
(i) The proposed development will not be detrimental to
public health, safety or welfare or materially
injurious 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, Public Works Depart-
ment, Health Department, Fire Department and
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) requirements. The referenced agenciesf
involvement will ensure that the proposed restaurant
is not detrimental to the public health, safety or
welfare or materially injurious to the properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
Based on the findings and conclusions set forth above,
the Planning Commission hereby approves the Application
