C. FINDINGS OF FACT
Based on the findings and conclusions set forth herein and as prescribed under
Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Section 22.48, 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 and layout of the proposed 11,360 square -foot single-family
residence and 2,207 square -foot garage is consistent with the City's
General Plan, City Design Guidelines and development standards by
meeting all of the setbacks and requirements of the City's development
code. The house incorporates various facade details such as low pitched
hipped roof lines with clay roof tiles, decorative architectural features such
as corbels around windows, natural colors are used to highlight
architectural features and appropriate massing to fit the site. In addition,
appropriate screening and integration of the home to the natural
environment is accomplished by providing a variety of groundcover,
shrubs, and trees throughout the site.
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;
2
DR NO. PL2013-77
The proposed single-family residence 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 single-family home 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 grades.
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 new single-family home is designed to be compatible with the
character of the eclectic neighborhoods in The Country Estates. The
architectural style is Italian Villa, including features such as low pitched
hipped roof, grouped windows arches over entryways, and integration with
the natural landscape. It is designed in an Italian Villa style of architecture
with compatible neutral colors of exterior finish materials to soften the
building's visual impact and assist in preserving the hillside's aesthetic
value.
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 design of the new single-family home is Italian Villa architecture.
Variation in the building elements has been achieved through the
utilization of attractive architectural features, building materials, and
landscaping. Earth -tone shades for the exterior finish are used to soften
the building's visual impact and assist in preserving the hillside's aesthetic
value. Also, landscaping is integrated into the site to complement the
streetscape in order to maintain a desirable environment.
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;
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 requirements.
3
DR NO, PL2013-77
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
