RESOLUTION
NOW, THEREFORE, it is found, determined and resolved by the Planning
Commission of the City of Diamond Bar as follows:
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 15303 (a)
(Construction of a New Single Family Residence) of the CEQA Guidelines.
Therefore, no further environmental review is required.
FINDINGS OF FACT
Based on the findings and conclusions set forth herein and as prescribed under
Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Sections 22.48, this Planning Commission
hereby finds as follows:
Development Review Findings (DBMC Section 22.48.040)
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 10,018 square -foot single family
residence, 1,300 square -foot garage, and 452 square -foot detached tatarni
room 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 breaks in plane, low
pitched roof lines and appropriate massing to meet the intent of the City's
Design Guidelines. Additionally, 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;
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 existing or proposed single-family homes.
2
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2013-12
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. It is designed with
influence from the Prairie style of architecture with a low pitched hipped roofs,
wide overhanging eaves, horizontal lines, and integration with the natural
landscape. Additionally, complementary wall materials are used to distinguish
breaks in plane and add articulation to maintain and enhance the harmonious
development in the neighborhood.
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 a contemporary Prairie style of
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.
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.
& The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
3
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2013-12
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as set forth under Article 19
Section 15303 (a) (Construction of a New Single Family Residence) of the
CEQA guidelines.
Based upon the findings and conclusion set forth above, the Planning Commission hereby
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.
2. Prior to building permit issuance, the required landscape plan shall be
designed to meet the requirements of the Los Angeles County Fire
Department's Fuel Modification Plan Guidelines in terms of plant selection,
placement and maintenance. The final landscape and fuel modification plans
shall be submitted to the Los Angeles Fire Department for review and
approval.
3. Prior to building permit issuance, landscape and irrigation plans shall be
reviewed and approved by the City's Consulting Landscape Architect and shall
comply with the Water Conservation Landscaping Ordinance.
4. Prior to Certificate of Occupancy issuance, the sloped areas within the project
site shall be landscaped as per the revegetation and landscape
plan/schematic tree plan.
5. Prior to the close of escrow for the sale of the subject property (Lot 4), the
owner/applicant shall pay Quimby Park Fees in the amount of six thousand
one hundred dollars ($6,100) to the City of Diamond Bar, as required in the
covenant for payment of fees recorded on March 1, 2011.
6. Prior to the close of escrow for the sale of the subject property (Lot 4), the
owner/applicant shall pay the In Lieu Tree Fees in the amount of twelve
thousand two hundred dollars ($12,200) to the City of Diamond Bar, as
required in the covenant for payment of fees recorded on March 1, 2011.
7. All conditions and mitigation measures associated with Tentative Tract Map
53670, Conditional Use Permit No. 2002-17, Tree Permit No. 2002-12,
Environmental Impact Report No. 2004-01, and associated modifications or
exceptions approved herein, shall be complied with.
8. The project shall be subject to the mitigation measures identified in the EIR
Mitigation Monitoring Report for the Vesting Tentative Tract Map including, but
not limited to:
Air Quality
® Water exposed surfaces twice a day.
4
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2013-12
On the last day of active operations prior to a weekend or holiday, apply
water or a chemical stabilizer to maintain a stabilized surface.
® Cease grading during periods when winds exceed 25 miles per hour.
Apply non-toxic soil stabilizers according to manufacturer's specification
to all inactive construction areas (inactive for 10 days or more).
® Turn off equipment when not in use for longer than 5 minutes.
Biological Resources
Seven days prior to the onset of construction activities, a qualified
biologist will survey within the limits of project disturbance for the
presence of any active raptor nests (common or special status). Any
nest found during survey efforts will be mapped on the construction
plans. If no active nests are found, no further mitigation would be
required. Results of the surveys will be provided to the CDFG.
If nesting activity is present at any raptor nest site, the active site will be
protected until nesting activity has ended to ensure compliance with
Section 3503.5 of the California Fish and Game Code. Nesting activity
for raptors in the region of the project site normally occurs from
February 1 to June 30. To protect any nest site, the following
restrictions on construction are required between February 1 to June 30
(or until nests are no longer active as determined by a qualified
biologist): 1) clearing limits will be established a minimum of 300 feet in
any direction from any occupied nest and 2) access and surveying will
be restricted within 200 feet of any occupied nest. Any encroachment
into the 300/200 foot buffer area around the known nest will only be
allowed if it is determined by a qualified biologist that the proposed
activity will not disturb the nest occupants. Construction during the non -
nesting season can occur only at the sites if a qualified biologist has
determined that fledglings have left the nest.
If an active nest is observed during the non -nesting season, the nest
site will be monitored by a qualified biologist, and when the raptor is
away from the nest, the biologist will flush any raptor to open space
areas. The biologist will then remove the nest site so raptors cannot
return to a nest.
A lighting plan will be submitted to the City for review to demonstrate
that lighting from the proposed project will be directed away from
natural open space areas on and adjacent to the study area (i.e., Toner
Canyon).
5
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2013-12
Geology/Soils
The recommendations contained in the Geotechnical and Engineering
Geotechnical investigation, prepared by Environmental Geotechnology
Laboratory, Inc. on June 11, 2003 shall be implemented during
grading/construction activities on the project site, including the
following:
o Removal of alluvial soils and re -compaction as engineered fill
shall be required during grading prior to fill replacement.
o Manufactured slopes would include compacted earth berms
and/or concrete interceptor drains and all slopes shall be
landscaped with suitable plants requiring minimal cultivation and
irrigation water in order to thrive, thereby fostering slope stability
and minimizing the potential for erosion.
o Manufactured slopes would be designed at a slope ratio of no
steeper than 2:1 and keyed into approved natural ground.
o Any underground steel utilities should be blasted and given
protective coatings to reduce corrosion potential.
o All cut slopes shall be inspected to verify whether any
unsupported bedding is exposed. If any is encountered, the
slope face should be over -excavated to 5 feet below the finish
grade and recompacted.
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
Irrigation systems will be installed into manufactured slopes within the
project site to further reduce the risk of wildland fires.
HydrologyMater Quality
The partial roadway extension shall include BMPs, such as sandbags
and a temporary desilting basin, to ensure that sediment -laden runoff
does not exit the project site. The BMPs would be maintained by the
project applicant throughout the construction phase and would then be
maintained by The Country Estates HOA until the project applicant for
VTTM 53430 fully constructs and paves the roadway extension of
Alamo Heights Drive.
Manufactured slopes shall be seeded with drought -tolerant native
vegetation and irrigated as soon as practicable after completion of the
pad construction to reduce potential erosion and sediment discharges.
