approval of Development Review No. PL2022-78, based on the findings of

conditions of approval as listed within the resolution.
Chair/Wolfe opened the public hearing.
Ken Lee, applicant, commended staff and especially, SP/Lee for her tenacity
and assistance in helping the owner work through this project. The applicant
purchased the property in 2010 and has moved forward to this point with a
revised project and to the best of their knowledge, complied with all comments
received from the last City Council meeting in 2020 to render this project
compatible with the neighborhood.
Douglas Barcon said he was concerned about the issue of northbound
Diamond Bar Boulevard traffic attempting to enter the residence.

Felino Bautista (telephonically), 1141 Flintlock, spoke in opposition to the
project and cited speeding traffic on the street.
Robin Smith (telephonically) commended Planning staff for their work and
positive changes toward the redesign of the project. However, this speculative
project is, in her opinion, a glaring problem for the community and she believes
the site would be better suited for a cell tower.
Chair/Wolfe closed the public hearing.
SP/Lee responded to C/Garg that drivers proceeding northbound on
N. Diamond Bar Boulevard are permitted to make a U-Turn on Soltaire Street
from the left turn lane. Chair/Wolfe explained that per the traffic code, U-Turns
are permitted where left turns are allowed unless there is specific signage
disallowing the procedure. C/Garg said he wou ld like to see a new sign
indicating both a left turn and U-Turn to replace the current signage at Soltaire.
SP/Lee reminded the public that with respect to industry standards site
distances are assessed using the posted speed limit to determine the minimum
requirement and in addition, during the previous public hearing, the applicant’s
traffic engineer stated that there is sufficient sight distance for a car traveling
at 75 mph to react to a vehicle leaving the project site driveway.
Chair/Wolfe reopened the public hearing.
VC/Mok asked the applicant to comment on whether construction vehicles
would be able to park on the project site and Mr. Peng responded that when
the site is being developed, it is empty and offers plenty of space for trucks to
come in and park. Ultimately, the building coverage is 23 percent of the land
which leaves 75 percent of the land available for phasing during construction.
VC/Mok commented that the proposed horseshoe driveway dimensions would
sufficiently accommodate sanitation, delivery and service vehicles.
C/Rawlings said he appreciated the amount of work the owners have done in
working with the City. Although he finds the residential zoning to be
inappropriate, and does not believe the proposed structure will benefit the City,
he does acknowledge there has been substantial work to comply with the
City’s development standards and he will not oppose the project.
Chair/Wolfe closed the public hearing.
Following Commissioner’s comments, Chair/Wolfe moved, VC/Mok seconded,
to approve Development Review No. PL2022-78, based on the findings of
Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Section 22.48.040, subject to

Presentation and response to Council Member and Commission comments
and questions by Neal Payton, Jonathan Chambers, and CDD/Gubman.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Paul Deibel (telephonically) believes the City and consultants have done an
excellent job reflecting the input and preferences of the community. From
an economic development and housing affordability standpoint, he believes
the Council should move forward with as much density and commercial
buildout as possible to make it economically feasible and viable as a local
and regional draw that provides a pedestrian oriented downtown district with
a sense of place, and congratulated the City for adoption and certification
of its Housing Element which speaks to a higher density design that
includes Affordable Housing.
Paul Sherwood said he was concerned that because Diamond Bar
Boulevard is a major arterial for freeway access during commute times that
narrowing the street would create traffic safety and congestion issues and
was not clear on how parking at the center would be accommodated.
Eric Chen likes the designs and felt that staff and the design consultants did
a great job, but is concerned about proposed access through his property
and his liability, and hoped to work closely with the City to move the plan
forward.
Saman Mahmood was somewhat perplexed about the slimming of Diamond
Bar Boulevard and costs and aesthetics of a parking structure.
Consultants Payton and Chambers responded to public comments and
concerns.
Council and Commission discussion ensued culminating in the following
direction to staff.
1) Diamond Bar Boulevard Design – Support in concept reduction in lanes
and lane widths subject to further detailed traffic analysis, including
appropriate length of turn-pockets.
2) Buildout Scenarios – Support the higher Buildout Scenario 3 subject to
appropriate environmental review including analysis of traffic and
circulation impacts.
3) Design Alternative Preference – Subject to further consideration with
emphasis on common green, north/south/east/west pedest rian
connectivity and visibility of the mountains and civic/cultural building
(combination of Alternatives 1, 2 and 4).

Project Description
Site Plan
As stated, the property’s gross lot area is 54,450 square feet (1.25 acres), which
includes a 30-foot wide private street easement along the frontages of Wagon Train
Lane and Rocky Trail Road. The property is an irregularly-shaped lot with a net
buildable area (i.e., minus the private street easement) of 45,738 square feet (1.05
acres). The property is a hillside property with a descending slope at 24 percent that
starts from the private street easement to the rear property line.
The proposed house is situated towards the west side of the lot, 24 feet from the edge
of the private street easement line along Rocky Trail Road and 41’-8” from the edge of
the private street easement line along Wagon Train Lane. Although the entrance to the
residence faces Rocky Trail Road, the front lot line on a corner lot is the line with the
shortest frontage, which is Wagon Train Lane. A circular driveway is proposed on the
side fronting Rocky Trail Road, which provides access to a four-car garage. A pool,
spa, tennis court and 115 square-foot trellis structure are also proposed in the rear yard.
There are seven protected trees on the property. One is proposed for removal, as
further discussed under the “Tree Permit” section below.
Grading Plan
The applicant is proposing to cut 1,100 cubic yards of soil and fill 564 cubic yards of soil
throughout the property to expand the existing building pad. Therefore, 536 cubic yards
would have to be exported from the site.
The applicant is proposing one retaining wall, with a maximum height of four feet, at the
rear of the property to support fills below the natural grade to expand the buildable pad
for the house. Another retaining wall, with a maximum height of four feet, is proposed on
7.1
Packet Pg. 22
Development Review and Tree Permit No. PL2022-62
Page 5 of 12
the south side yard to support a cut below the natural grade. All exposed portions of the
proposed retaining walls will have a decorative finish, painted stucco to match the
house.
Architecture
The architectural style is Italianate with eclectic details, and will include elements such
as clay “S”-shaped tiles on a hipped roof, precast concrete surrounds and balusters,
rectangular wood-framed windows, earth-toned smooth stucco and stone veneer.
Additionally, the design includes a front porch and balcony/patio areas. Balconies with
precast stone balusters are proposed throughout the two levels of the house.
Since the proposed color of the exterior stucco accent color, foam eave, exterior trim,
window sills, etc. is similar to that of the exterior wall stucco, a condition has been
added to the draft resolution to propose a color that provides more contrast at building
plan check.
The proposed two-level house’s floor plan is comprised of the following components:
• First Floor – Garage, common areas (foyer, living room, family room, kitchen with
wok, dining room), library, prayer room, two powder rooms, laundry room and
two bedrooms with a bathroom and walk-in closet.
• Second Floor – Master suite with a bathroom and walk-in closet, three bedrooms
also with a bathroom and walk-in closet, exercise room, theatre, vista room, and
a laundry room.
• A front porch and balcony areas totaling 695 square feet are proposed
throughout the two levels of the residence.
• An elevator providing access to both levels.
The floor area distribution is summarized on the following page:

The height of the building is 32’-5”, measured from the finished grade to the highest
point of the roofline.
Landscape Plan
The applicant is proposing a variety of trees to be planted throughout the property,
including five 24-inch box sweet bays, 13 crape myrtles, nine Australian willows, ten
yew pines, and three saucer magnolias in the front, side and rear yards. Additionally,
three coast live oaks will be planted as replacement trees. Three existing unprotected
trees will remain on the property (plumeria and Fraxinus trees), as well as six existing
protected trees: four coast live oaks and two California black walnuts. One protected
coast live oak is proposed for removal due to its location in the area of construction. The
Tree Permit section below provides further analysis on the removal of this tree and
appropriate mitigation. Additionally, various 5-gallon and 1-gallon shrubs that have a
variety of color, texture, and form are proposed throughout the front, side and rear
yards. Overall, landscaping consists of drought tolerant and non-invasive species to
minimize irrigation and reduce the area of turf. The project is required to comply with
the City’s Water Efficient Landscaping Ordinance, and compliance will be verified during
building plan check and final inspections.
The subject property is located within the Los Angeles County Fire Department “High
Fire Hazard Severity Zone.” Therefore, the proposed landscaping must comply with the
Fire Department’s Fuel Modification Plan requirements. The landscape plans will be
submitted for review and approval by the Fire Department during building plan check.
ANALYSIS:
Review Authority
The proposed project requires Planning Commission review and approval of two
entitlement applications: Development Review (DR) and a Tree Permit (TP). The
analysis that follows provides the basis for staff’s recommendation to approve the DR
and TP applications.

Development Review (DBMC Chapter 22.48)
New construction of a single-family home requires Planning Commission approval of a
Development Review application. Development Review approval is required to ensure
compliance with the City’s General Plan policies, development standards, and design
guidelines, and to minimize adverse effects of the proposed project upon the
surrounding properties and the City in general.
As stated in Section 22.48.010 of the Development Code, the Development Review
process was established to ensure that new development and additions to existing
development are consistent with the General Plan “through the promotion of high
functional and aesthetic standards to complement and add to the economic, physical,
and social character” of Diamond Bar.

Tree Permit (DBMC Section 22.38.110)
A Tree Permit is required when the removal or protection of a protected tree is
requested. A protected tree is any of the following:
• Native oak, walnut, sycamore and willow trees with a diameter at breast height
(“DBH” i.e., 4.5 feet above ground level) of eight inches or greater, and located
on parcels larger than one-half acre in area;
7.1
Packet Pg. 25
Development Review and Tree Permit No. PL2022-62
Page 8 of 12
• Trees of significant historical or value as designated by the City Council;
• Any tree required to be preserved or relocated as a condition of approval for a
discretionary permit;
• Any tree required to be planted as a condition of approval for a discretionary
permit; or
• A stand of trees, the nature of which makes each tree dependent upon the others
for survival.
Trees that are so damaged, diseased or in danger of falling (as verified by an arborist)
that cannot be effectively preserved, or its presence is a threat to other protected trees
or existing or proposed structures are exempted from being replaced at a three to one
(3:1) ratio.
The applicant submitted a tree report prepared by a licensed arborist dated August 10,
2022. There are seven trees on site that are considered protected, including five coast
live oaks with DBH that ranges from 12 to 30 inches and two California black walnuts
with a DBH of 12 and 16 inches. All protected trees will remain on the property with the
exception of one coast live oak (Tree #1) with a DBH of 30 inches, which is pr oposed
for removal due to its location in the area of construction and cannot be preserved in
place. Trees to remain will be retained and protected in place with protective, chain -link
fencing to be installed prior to construction activities. The protected tree will be replaced
at a 3:1 ratio with three 24-inch box coast live oak trees at the rear of the property,
which is the required amount of mitigation trees to be planted.
For work close to the protected zone, protective measures shall include, but a re not
limited to the following:
• Tree protection fencing will be a minimum of five feet high and located five feet
from the drip line of the trees.
• Fencing will be of a flexible configuration or chain link, supported by vertical
posts at a maximum of ten-foot intervals to keep the fencing upright and in place.
• A sign posted on the fencing which states “Warning: Tree Protection Zone” and
stating the requirements of all workers in the protection zone.
• Throughout the course of construction, the tree protection fencing shall be
maintained and the site shall be maintained and cleaned at all times. No
construction staging or disposal of construction materials or byproducts, including
but not limited to paint, plaster, or chemical solutions is allowed in the tree
protection zone.
7.1
Packet Pg. 26
Development Review and Tree Permit No. PL2022-62
Page 9 of 12
These protective measures are included as conditions in the attached resolution.
Additionally, the plan calls for a retaining wall to be constructed approximately 11 feet
away from an existing Jacaranda tree located on the adjacent lot to the south.
According to the arborist report addendum dated November 25, 2022, this tree should
not be impacted by construction if root pruning guidelines are followed or if the wall is
constructed without footings within the root protection zone.
Compliance with Hillside Management Ordinance (DBMC Section 22.22)
The proposed project was reviewed for compliance with the City’s Hillside Management
Design Guidelines and regulations. The project complies with all of the regulations and
Location of Trees
7.1
Packet Pg. 27
Development Review and Tree Permit No. PL2022-62
Page 10 of 12
guidelines to ensure that development will complement the character and topography of
hillside areas set forth in the Development Code, and incorporates the following
features:
• The maximum building height is 32’-5”, where 35 feet is allowed;
• Architectural treatment is provided on all sides of the building with varying setbacks;
• All proposed retaining walls associated with the building pads are at a maximum
exposed height of four feet; and
• Earth tone building materials and color schemes are used that blend in with the
natural landscape.
The project complies with all of the regulations and guidelines to ensure that
development will complement the character and topography of hillside areas set forth in
the Development Code.
Compatibility with Neighborhood
The proposed house will be located on an existing flat pad but will be extended for a
larger building footprint and rear yard improvements. The new house will not be
intrusive to neighboring homes since the proposed house will not block existing views
from adjacent properties. The property to the north and south will continue to have
views from the rear yard to the east. The property to the west will continue to have
views to the southwest. The property across the street to the northwest will continue to
have views to the northwest.
Aerial View Looking East
The proposed house is comparable in mass and scale to existing homes on similar lots

in The Country. The architecture in The Country is eclectic, and includes a variety of
architectural designs. The scale and proportions of the proposed home are well
balanced and appropriate for the site. In sum, the proposed project fits the character of
the neighborhood on which it is proposed.
The project incorporates the principles of the City’s Residential Design Guideline s as
follows:
• The new single-family residence will conform to all development standards, including
building height, lot coverage and setbacks, which is consistent with other homes in
The Country;
• A gradual transition between the project and adjacent uses is achieved through
appropriate setbacks, building height, landscaping, and window and door placement;
• The proposed new single-family residence is appropriate in mass and scale to the
site;
• Elevations are treated with detailed architectural elements;
• The exterior finish materials and colors blend with the natural environment; and
• Effective landscape design should serve the dual purpose of intrinsically enhancing
a project setting, as well as integrating the landscaping into the overall architectural
design. Staff finds the proposed plant palette to be diverse, and the plant selections
are compatible with Southern California native landscapes.

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 15303(a) (construction
of a new single-family residence) 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 and 22.38, 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 LU-P-56 requires that development on privately-
owned, residentially designated land in hillside areas shall be compatible with
the surrounding natural areas promoting design principles such as minimizing
grading, preserving existing vistas, incorporate site and architectural design
that is sensitive to the hillsides, and require fuel modification. An Italianate
design with eclectic details is being proposed with clay “S”-shaped tiles on a
hipped roof, precast concrete surrounds and balusters and earth-toned shades
for the exterior finish as not to detract from the hillsides. The Project will also
be required to implement fuel modification.
A gradual transition between the project and adjacent uses is achieved
through appropriate setbacks, building height, and window and door
placement. Additionally, the design includes a front porch and balcony/patio
areas throughout the two levels of the home. All elevations are architecturally
treated and strongly articulated along the visible façade [Ci ty’s Design
Guidelines B. Architecture (3)].
7.1.a
Packet Pg. 32
The Project complies with all development standards of the Rural Residential
zoning district by complying with all development standards such as required
setbacks, building height, and lot coverage. 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 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 residence 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
exceeds the minimum number of 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 scale and proportions of the proposed residence are well balanced and
appropriate for the 1.25 gross-acre site. The Italianate architectural style is
compatible with other homes in the neighborhood since the architecture in The
Country is eclectic, and includes a variety of architectural designs. The Project
minimizes negative impacts on surrounding uses since the house will not block
existing views from adjacent properties. In sum, the Project fits the character
of the neighborhood on which it is proposed.
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 applicant is proposing an Italianate architectural style with eclectic details,
which includes elements such as a hipped roofs, earth -toned smooth stucco,
7.1.a
Packet Pg. 33
precast concrete surrounds and balusters, rectangular wood-framed windows,
earth-toned smooth stucco and stone veneer.
The proposed residence will not be intrusive to neighboring homes. Light
colored 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 massing of the house
and blend in with neighboring homes and the natural environment of the site
in order to maintain a desirable environment. The scale and proportions of the
proposed home are well balanced and appropriate for the site.
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.
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(a) (construction of a new single-family residence) of the CEQA
Guidelines.
Tree Permit Finding (DBMC Section 22.38.110)
1. The tree is a public nuisance by causing damage to improvements
(e.g., building foundations, retaining walls, roadways/driveways, patios, and
decks) and appropriate mitigation measures will be implemented in
compliance with DBMC Section 22.38.140 (Tree protection requirements)
below.
The applicant submitted a tree report, prepared by a license d arborist dated
August 10, 2022. There are seven trees on site that are considered protected,
including five coast live oaks with DBH that ranges from 12 to 30 inches and
two California black walnuts with a DBH of 12 and 16 inches. All protected
trees will remain on the property with the exception of one coast live oak
7.1.a
Packet Pg. 34
(Tree #1) with a DBH of 30 inches, which is proposed for removal due to its
location in the area of construction and cannot be preserved in place. Trees to
remain will be retained and protected in place with protective, chain-link
fencing to be installed prior to construction activities. The protected tree will be
replaced at a 3:1 ratio with three 24-inch box coast live oak trees at the rear of
the property, which is the required amount of mitigation trees to be planted.
The planting of three new protected species will provide sufficient replacement
of the natural landscape.
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

approval.
3. Prior to building permit issuance, a Certification of Design, together with
landscape and irrigation plans prepared by a licensed landscape architect,
shall be submitted to the Planning Division for review and approval by the
City’s Consulting Landscape Architect. Landscape and irrigation plans shall
comply with the updated Water Efficient Landscaping Ordinance.
4. Prior to the issuance of a demolition, grading or building permit, the protected
trees shall be barricaded by chain link fencing with a minimum height of five
feet, or by another protective barrier approved by the Community Development
Director or designee. Chain link fencing shall be supported by vertical posts at
a maximum of ten-foot intervals to keep the fencing upright and in place.
Barriers shall be placed at least five (5) feet from the drip line of the trees. A
sign posted on the fencing which states “Warning: Tree Protection Zone” and
stating the requirements of all workers in the protection zone. Throughout the

Project Description
Site Plan
The subject property is an irregularly-shaped lot located at the terminus of East Cliffside
Lane. No public or private easements are located on the site. There are four non-
protected trees onsite, which will be retained in place.
The property is a hillside property overlooking a descending slope to the rear (north
side) of the property. An existing wrought iron fence separates the property from the
sloped area. Although located in a hillside area, the property is relatively flat, as it was
previously graded to accommodate the existing house. The building pad/buildable area
extends along the entire length of the property, which includes the driveway/front yard,
existing house and rear yard.

Packet Pg. 80
Design Review No. PL2022-115 Page 4 of 10
As stated, the existing residence is a one-story structure. The proposed two-story
addition extends the footprint of the residence towards the rear of the property. A
minimum 20-foot rear yard will be maintained. No grading is required for the proposed
addition beyond minimal excavation for footings and foundation placements.
Floor Plan
The existing residence is comprised of the following interior spaces: common areas
(living room, kitchen and laundry area, den), two bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a
two-car garage.
The proposed addition will add a new family room and kitchen on the first floor, and a
bedroom and bathroom on the second floor. The existing kitchen will be removed and
the space will be converted into a laundry area.
The floor area distribution is summarized below:

Architectural Features, Colors and Materials:
The home is a 1980s tract home with craftsman/bungalow features. The residence
includes elements such as concrete tile roof, wood siding, stone veneer, smooth stucco,
and decorative windows and vents. The applicant is proposing to retain the design with
a 6:12 pitch gable-style roof. Uniform eave sizes, wood fascia, and well-placed
downspouts help enhance a decorative roof design. The existing residence’s footprint is
predominantly rectangular, resulting in a limited vertical articulation in the wall planes.

Design Review No. PL2022-115 Page 5 of 10
The existing front and west side elevations are shown below:
Existing Southwest (Front) Elevation
Existing West (Side) Elevation
The proposed addition is consistent with the craftsman/bungalow architectural style of
the existing residence. The addition incorporates the 6:12 pitch gable-style roof line with
matching roof eaves and fascia. Matching concrete tile roofing, wood siding, stone
veneer, smooth stucco, and decorative windows and vents are also incorporated into
the addition. The height of the second-story addition is approximately 23’-2”, a six-foot
increase from the existing 17’-2” building height.
The proposed porch located along the west elevation extends above the existing front
door. The porch also incorporates the 6:12 pitch gable-style roof with matching roof
eaves and fascia. The porch’s exterior wall consists of stucco and wood siding to match
the existing residence.

Landscaping: Landscape plans are not required because the site is already
developed, and because the project is exempt from the City’s Water Efficient
Landscaping Ordinance. The ordinance would only apply if new or rehabilitated
landscaping of 500 square feet or more was being installed or altered. However,
landscaping that is damaged during construction will need to be restored upon project
completion. No existing trees will be removed.
ANALYSIS:
Review Authority
7.2
Packet Pg. 83
Design Review No. PL2022-115 Page 7 of 10
The proposed project requires a land use approval through the Development Review
process. The analysis that follows provides the basis for staff’s recommendation to
approve the Development Review application.
Development Review (DBMC Section 22.48)
Additions which are equal to or greater than 50 percent of the existing habitable floor
area of all existing structures on site, or substantially change the appearance of an
existing residence require Planning Commission approval of a DR application.
Development Review approval is required to ensure compliance with the City’s General
Plan policies and design guidelines, and to minimize adverse effects of the proposed
project upon the surrounding properties and the City in general.
As stated in Section 22.48.010 of the Development Code, the Development Review
process was established to ensure that new develop ment and additions to existing
development are consistent with the General Plan “through the promotion of high
functional and aesthetic standards to complement and add to the economic, physical,
and social character” of Diamond Bar.

Design Review No. PL2022-115 Page 8 of 10
Compliance with Hillside Management Ordinance (DBMC Section 22.22)
The proposed project was reviewed for compliance with the City’s Hillside Management
Design Guidelines and regulations. The project complies with all of the regulations and
guidelines to ensure that development will complement the character and topography of
hillside areas set forth in the Development Code, and incorporates the following
features:
• The maximum building height is approximately 23 feet, where 35 feet is allowed;
• Architectural treatment is provided on all sides of the proposed addition; and
• All trees onsite are preserved.
The project complies with all regulations and guidelines to ensure that the addit ion will
complement the character and topography of hillside areas set forth in the development
code.
Compatibility with Neighborhood
The project site is located between two-story homes. The proposed addition will not be
intrusive to neighboring homes and will not block existing views from adjacent
properties. The adjacent properties overlook open space areas located at the rear of
both residences. Additionally, second-story windows are only proposed along the rear
side of the addition (overlooking the op en space areas), thereby mitigating any potential
for privacy impacts.
The existing residence with the proposed addition will be similar in mass and scale
compared to other existing homes in the neighborhood. The scale and proportions of
the proposed addition is well-balanced and appropriate for the site. The proposed
addition will incorporate craftsman/bungalow-style architectural elements to match the
existing home and other homes in the neighborhood.
Based on the foregoing, staff finds that the project follows the principles of the City’s
Residential Design Guidelines as follows:
• The addition will conform to all current development standards, including building
height, lot coverage and setbacks which is consistent with other homes in the
neighborhood;
• A gradual transition between the addition and existing residences is achieved
through appropriate setbacks, building height, and window and door placement;
• The addition is appropriate in mass and scale to the site;
• Elevations are treated with detailed architectural elements;
• Large expanses without windows or doors are avoided;
7.2
Packet Pg. 85
Design Review No. PL2022-115 Page 9 of 10
• Roof type and pitch of the addition matches the primary structure. Gable roof
style will be utilized on the second-story addition; and
• The addition is visually integrated with the primary structure.

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:
7.2.a
Packet Pg. 88
2 PC RESOLUTION NO. 2023-XX
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 LU-P-56 requires that development on privately-owned,
residentially designated land in hillside areas shall be compatible with the
surrounding natural areas promoting design principles such as minimizing
grading, preserving existing vistas, incorporate site and architectural design that
is sensitive to the hillsides, and require fuel modification.
The property is a hillside property overlooking a descending slope to the rear
(north side) of the property. Although located in a hillside area, the property is
relatively flat, as it was previously graded to accommodate the existing house.
The building pad/buildable area extends along the entire length of the property,
which includes the driveway/front yard, existing house and rear yard. No grading
is required for the proposed addition beyond minimal excavation for footings and
foundation placement. The proposed two-story addition extends the footprint of
the residence towards the rear of the property. A gradual transition between the
addition and existing residences is achieved through appropriate setbacks,
building height, and window and door placement .
The proposed addition complies with all development standards of the Low
Residential zoning district by complying with all current development standards
such as required setbacks, building height, and lot coverage. 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 development s, 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 addition maintains all required setback and distances from
neighboring residences and is not expected to impact uses or privacy of
neighboring lots.
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 is located in the rear of the property, does not impact driveway or public rights-
of-way, and maintains the required off-street parking space requirement.
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:
7.2.a
Packet Pg. 89
3 PC RESOLUTION NO. 2023-XX
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 existing residence with the proposed addition will be similar in mass and
scale compared to other existing two-story homes on adjacent lots. The scale
and proportions of the proposed addition is well-balanced and appropriate for the
site. 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.
The addition incorporates features of the craftsman/bungalow architectural style
of the existing residence and will be compatible with other neighboring
residences. The project is designed to be compatible with the existing homes in
the neighborhood in terms of mass and scale. The addition is set back and
located at the rear of the property, reducing its visual impact.
In summary, the proposed project fits the scale and architectural character of the
existing 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 home is a 1980s tract home with craftsman/bungalow features. The
residence includes elements such as concrete tile roof, wood siding, stone
veneer, smooth stucco, and decorative windows and vents. The proposed
addition incorporates these elements and is consistent with the
craftsman/bungalow architectural style. The addition also incorporates a
matching 6:12 pitch gable-style roof with matching roof eaves and fascia. Overall,
the addition maintains an aesthetically appealing uniform design and creates a
desirable living 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.
