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 15301(e) (additions to existing
structures) 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, 22.56, and 22.68, 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 of the Project is consistent with the applicable elements of the City's
General Plan, City Design Guidelines and development standards. The City's
General Plan Policy CC-G-4 requires the preservation of the scale and character
of existing residential neighborhoods and ensure sensitive transitions between
densities and uses. The Project is designed to be compatible with the existing
homes in the neighborhood by maintaining the mass, scale and rhythm of the
streetscape. The massing of the building is softened by creating articulation of
the front fagade through projections of the second story addition with balcony and
the addition is setback approximately 24 feet from the garage on the first floor.
Also, the location of the lot along the bulb of the cul-de-sac, together with diagonal
orientation of the house on the lot has the effect of reducing the perceived scale
of the proposed improvements. The applicant is proposing to upgrade the
materials and details of the house to give it a modern appearance, but will keep
the same building form and architectural style.
A gradual transition between the Project and adjacent uses is achieved through
appropriate setbacks, building height, and window and door placement. The
addition and fagade remodel complies with the City's Design Guidelines where
architectural design should focus on the development of a high -quality residential
environment that considers compatibility with surrounding character, including
harmonious building style, form, size, color, material, and roofline [City's Design
Guidelines B. Architecture (1)]. This is achieved through appropriate building
2 PC Reso 2022-16
scale, proportions and simple building materials such as board and batten siding,
white fascia and trim, and black rustic shingle roofing.
The Project complies with all development standards of the Low Medium
Residential zoning district such as building height, lot coverage and setbacks
(with the exception of the existing nonconforming setbacks and distances to
adjacent structures). 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 addition 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 addition will not 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 complies with the
required off-street parking spaces.
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 Chapter 22.48:
Development Review Standards, the City's Design Guidelines, the City's General
Plan, or any applicable specific plan.
The City's General Plan Policy LU-P-56 requires that residential development be
compatible with the prevailing character of the surrounding neighborhood in
terms of building scale, density, massing, and design. The City's General Plan
Goal CC-G-4 also requires the preservation of the scale and character of existing
residential neighborhoods and ensure sensitive transitions between densities
and uses. The City's Design Guidelines Architecture (1) requires compatibility
with the surrounding character including harmonious building style, form, size,
color, material and roofline.
The Project will not be intrusive to neighboring homes since the property owner
has obtained authorization from the adjacent neighbor to the west regarding any
potential privacy concerns that may be caused by the proposed second -story
addition. The adjacent neighbor to the east had privacy concerns of views into
their rear yard. The east elevation currently shows two windows in the proposed
master bedroom with a sill height of 5'-3". A rectangular, transom -style window
was suggested to the applicant to bring the sill height even higher. The purpose
of these types of windows is to bring light into the room. The applicant has agreed
to the change which also alleviated the neighbor's concern. A condition of
approval has been added to the draft resolution to revise the two windows in the
second -floor master bedroom on the east elevation to a rectangular, transom -
style during building plan check.
3 PC Reso 2022-16
The height of the proposed addition will not block any views to adjacent
properties. The Project will not negatively impact the look and character of the
neighborhood because the architectural design is compatible with existing homes
in building mass, scale, color, material, and roofline while providing an
enhancement to the overall neighborhood appearance.
The Project is designed to be compatible with the existing homes in the
neighborhood in terms of mass and scale. Although the home will be the largest
on Moonlake Street with a total size of 3,118 square feet, the addition is set back
and located above the footprint of the existing home, reducing its visual impact.
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 home is a 1960s-era Ranch style home with stucco finish, large eave
overhangs and Dutch gable roof with flat asphalt shingles. The applicant is
proposing to retain the design and preserve the architectural form of the other
homes in the neighborhood, while enhancing the exterior with board and batten
siding, white fascia and trim, and black rustic shingle roofing. Dark oak wooden
balcony and bronze framed windows will enhance the rustic style. The Dutch
gable roofing style will remain on the garage and will be utilized on the second -
story addition.
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.
Before the issuance of any City permits, the proposed project is required to
comply with all conditions within the approved resolution and Building and Safety
Division 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(e)
(additions to existing structures) of the CEQA Guidelines.
Minor
Conditional Use Permit Findings (DBMC Section 22.56.040)
1.
The proposed use is allowed within the subject zoning district with the approval
of a Minor Conditional Use Permit and complies with all other applicable
provisions of this Development Code and the Municipal Code.
The existing single-family dwelling is a permitted use in the RLM zone. A Minor
Conditional Use Permit (MCUP) is requested to allow the continuation of an
existing nonconforming structure with a 3'-6" and 7' side setbacks (where 5 feet
4 PC Reso 2022-16
on one side and 10 feet on the other side is required), 8'-6" and 8'-11" distances
between adjoining structures (where 15 feet is required), and a 10'-6" rear
setback (where 20 feet is required).
The preexisting substandard side setbacks and distances between adjoining
structures renders the project nonconforming. The addition of a nonconforming
structure requires approval of a Minor Conditional Use Permit because the
addition is located above the first floor and is greater than 50 percent of the
existing square footage of all structures on site. The proposed addition consisting
of 970 square feet of living area complies with the development standards of the
RLM zone and will not further encroach into the nonconforming setbacks and
distances to adjoining structures.
2. The proposed use is consistent with the general plan and any applicable specific
plan.
The proposed addition to an existing single-family dwelling unit is consistent with
the City's adopted General Plan. The site is not subject to the provisions of any
specific plan.
3. The design, location, size and operating characteristics of the proposed use are
compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity.
The existing single-family dwelling and the proposed addition consisting of
970 square feet of living area will not further encroach into the existing
nonconforming setbacks and distances to adjoining structures since it is located
above the footprint of the existing home. The design of the proposed addition and
remodel is compatible with the character of the neighborhood because the design
is similar in building mass, scale, color, material, and roofline with the existing
homes. Therefore, the Project is compatible with the existing and future land
uses in the vicinity.
4. The subject site 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 subject site is physically suitable for the existing single-family residential
dwelling and the proposed addition. The existing and proposed use of land is
consistent with the surrounding land uses. The proposed addition is consistent
with the development standards for the RLM zone and will not further encroach
into the existing nonconforming setbacks and distances to adjacent structures.
5. Granting the Minor Conditional Use Permit will not be detrimental to the public
interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare, or materially injurious to persons,
property or improvements in the vicinity and zoning district in which the property
is located.
The granting of the Minor Conditional Use Permit will allow the addition of the
existing single-family dwelling unit in a manner similar with existing dwelling units
located in the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed expansion of the
dwelling unit will not negatively impact the public interest, health, safety,
convenience or welfare.
CJ PC Reso 2022-16
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 15301
(9) (additions to existing structure) of the CEQA Guidelines.
Non -Conforming Structures Findings (DBMC Section 22 68 030)
The addition, enlargement, extension, reconstruction, relocation or structural alteration
of the nonconforming structure would not result in the structure becoming:
Incompatible with other structures in the neighborhood.
The proposed addition of floor area is consistent with the development standards
for the RLM zone. The Project will comply with current development standards
and not further encroach into the existing nonconforming setbacks and distances
to adjoining structures since it is located above the footprint of the existing home.
The existing and proposed land use is consistent with the surrounding land uses
and structures in the neighborhood. Additionally, the neighboring properties also
have nonconforming side and rear setbacks as well as distances to adjoining
structures, so the proposed project will remain consistent with other homes within
the neighborhood.
2. Inconsistent with the general plan or any applicable specific plan.
The proposed addition to asingle-family dwelling unit is consistent with the City's
adopted General Plan. The site is not subject to the provisions of any specific
plan.
A restriction to the eventual/future compliance with the applicable regulations of
this Development Code.
The existing and proposed land use is consistent with the surrounding land uses
with similar side and rear setbacks, and distances to adjacent structures. The
proposed addition of floor area is consistent with the development standards for
the RLM zone and will not encroach into the existing nonconforming setbacks
and distances to adjacent structures
Detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of persons residing in the
neighborhood.
Before the issuance of any City permits, the proposed project is required to
comply with all conditions within the approved resolution and Building and Safety
Division 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.
5. Detrimental and/or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood.
6 PC Reso 2022-16
The addition to the existing single-family dwelling unit will be constructed in a
manner similar with existing dwelling units located in the surrounding community
and will not be detrimental and/or injurious to property and improvements in the
neighborhood.

approves this Application, subject to the following conditions:
1. Development shall substantially comply with the plans and documents presented
to the Planning Commission at the public hearing.
