Project Description
YDRC is a non-profit, volunteer-based organization that provides various educational
services to young individuals in the form of small groups and clubs. YDRC will p rovide
five group clubs per week: Science, Million Reading, Math, Robotics and Diversity
Culture. Office administration hours are Monday through Friday, 2:30 p.m. through
8:00 p.m. One club activity will operate from 6:00 p.m. through 8:00 p.m. throughout the

ANALYSIS:
Review Authority (DBMC Section 22.58 and 22.30.050)
The proposed project requires Planning Commission review and approval of two
entitlement applications: Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and a Parking Permit. The
analysis that follows provides the basis for staff’s recommendation to approve the CUP
and Parking Permit applications.
Conditional Use Permit (DBMC Section 22.58)
A CUP is required for uses whose effect on the surrounding area cannot be determined
before being analyzed for suitability at a particular location.
When reviewing a CUP, consideration is given to the location, design, configurati on,
operational characteristics and potential impacts to determine whether or not the
proposed use will pose a detriment to the public health, safety and welfare. If it can be
found that the proposed use is likely to be compatible with its surroundings, t he
Commission may approve the proposed use subject to conditions stipulating the
manner in which the use must be conducted. If the Commission finds that the proposed
use is likely to be detrimental to the general peace, health and general welfare, then it
must deny the request.
When a CUP is approved, it runs with the land and all conditions placed on the CUP are
binding on all successors in interest. In other words, if the owner of the proposed
educational center were to close the business, a new tenant could locate in the space
and operate the same type of business. The new tenant would be required to comply
with the same conditions as the previous tenant and would not be permitted to expand
the school without full review and approval by the Planning Commission.
Required Parking
The required number of parking spaces for educational uses is one space per
200 square feet of gross floor area plus one space per employee, and shopping centers
over 50,000 square feet in size are required to provide one park ing space for every
300 square feet of gross floor area for commercial uses that are not subject to approval
of a CUP. The parking requirement for businesses approved under a CUP
(e.g., schools, tutoring, health/fitness studios, etc.) are calculated separa tely.
Plaza Diamond Bar provides 269 off-street parking spaces. The existing gross floor
area of the shopping center—excluding the existing tutoring centers and school, art
studio, post-secondary school, and the proposed educational center—is 52,096 square
feet, and requires 174 parking spaces. The existing tutoring centers and tutoring school
require 74 parking spaces and the existing art studio requires 17 parking spaces based
on the Development Code requirements. The post -secondary school requires
34 parking spaces. YDRC requires seven parking spaces per the Development Code

Parking Permit (DBMC Section 22.30.050)
As provided under Section 22.30.050 of the Development Code, where two commercial
uses are developed as a recognized shopping center and those uses have distinct and
differing peak parking usage periods, a reduction in the required number of parking
spaces may be allowed through the approval of a parking permit, provided that the most
remote space is located within 300 feet of the use it is intended to serve (as measured
along the most direct pedestrian path). The amount of reduction may be up to the
number of spaces required for the least intensive of the two or more uses sharing the
parking. The applicant is requesting a Parking Permit because there is a technical
deficit of 37 parking spaces.
Since there is a deficit in the number of parking spaces when shared parking dynamics
are not factored in, staff analyzed the parking demand based on the existing and
proposed uses on site. The former Chuck E. Cheese’s building located north of the
subject site is among one of the buildings that comprise the commercial center. When
an application was submitted to convert this building to medical offices in 2020, staff
required a parking study that provided parking demand calculations based on parking
survey observations and the ITE Parking Generation Rates (3rd Edition) signed by a
licensed traffic engineer. This study was peer reviewed by the City’s traffic consultant.
Staff analyzed and appended to the results of this study with demand anticipated from
the proposed education center.

The parking study provides parking demand calculations and analysis, based on a
worst-case scenario and parking surveys conducted during hours of operation on typical
weekdays and weekends. A worst-case scenario parking demand was analyzed for the
commercial center if every business in the commercial center reached its highest
capacity at the same time. Due to the variety of different uses at the commercial
centers, with various hours of operation and peak parking demand times, this scenario
is highly unlikely.
It should be noted that the study was performed during the COVID ‐19 pandemic, and
that it is very likely that social distancing and closing measures mandated by the state of
California had a mitigating impact on the parking occupancy when the study was
performed. However, the shared‐use analysis was based on historical data and those
findings presented in the report would not be impacted by COVID‐19.
The study and analysis showed that the peak parking demand is 249 spaces between
2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. on a weekday. Therefore, by adding seven additional spaces
for the proposed educational center (maximum number of people at any given time), the
total peak parking demand is 256 spaces. Based on a parking supply of 269 spaces, it
is reasonable to conclude that the commercial center has sufficient parking with a
surplus of 13 parking spaces. In addition, group sessions would occur during night when
most businesses have closed, and YDRC is not proposing to increase any square
footage to the existing building.
Based on the findings of the parking study and analysis, the parking needs of the
project would be adequately served by the proposed parking supply. If at any time, the
City finds that the proposed use is causing a parking deficiency or other land use
impact, the Community Development Director may refer the matter back to the Planning
Commission to consider amending the CUP to address such impacts.
Compatibility with Neighborhood
YDRC is proposing to relocate within an existing commercial center, surrounded by
commercial uses to the west and south, medical office use to the north, and the
57 freeway to the east.
The existing businesses located in the commercial center include a deli, tutoring and art
schools, post-secondary school, medical and healthcare offices, and retail businesses.
Given the proposed hours of operation, the overall parking demands, and the types of
adjoining uses, it is reasonable to conclude that the educational center will be
compatible with the other uses in the commercial center.

PC Resolution No. 2023-XX
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(a) (Interior alterations
involving partitions and electrical conveyances) 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 22.58 and 22.30.050, this Planning
Commission hereby finds and approves as follows:
Conditional Use Permit Review Findings (DBMC Section 22.58)
1. The Proposed Use is allowed within the subject zoning district with the approval
of a conditional use permit and complies with all other applicable provisions of
this Development Code and the Municipal Code.
Pursuant to DBMC Section 22.10.030, Table 2-6, a non-degree school—
including a tutoring center—is permitted in the C-2 zoning district with approval
of a conditional use permit. Through compliance with the conditions of approval
stipulating the manner in which the use must be conducted, the Proposed Use
will be compatible with neighboring uses in the commercial center and
surrounding neighborhood.
2. The Proposed Use is consistent with the general plan and any applicable specific
plan.
The Proposed Use is consistent with General Plan Strategy 1.3.3: (“Encourage
neighborhood serving retail and service commercial uses”) in that the proposed
educational center will provide services to Diamond Bar residents.
The Project 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 Proposed Use is located in a commercial center that includes a deli, tutoring
and art schools, post-secondary school, medical and healthcare offices, and retail
businesses. Given the proposed hours of operation, the overall parking demands,
and the types of adjoining uses, and through compliance with the conditions of
approval stipulating the manner in which the use must be conducted, the
educational center will be compatible with the other uses within the commercial
center.
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.
8.1.a
Packet Pg. 24

PC Resolution No. 2023-XX
The Project site is located within an existing commercial center that currently has
a diversity of uses, including a deli, tutoring and art schools, post-secondary
school, medical and healthcare offices, and retail businesses . Plaza Diamond
Bar provides 269 parking spaces. The varying uses result in a range of peak
business hours and parking demands. Although there is a deficit of parking
spaces based on Development Code requirements, a parking study was
analyzed that provides a parking demand analysis based on ITE Parking
Generation Rates (3rd Edition). The parking analysis indicates that the forecasted
parking demand of 256 parking spaces is lower than the 306 parking spaces
required by the Development Code. Based on a parking supply of 269 spaces, it
is reasonable to conclude that the commercial center has sufficient parking with
a surplus of 13 parking spaces. In addition, group sessions would occur during
night when most businesses have closed, and the educational center is not
proposing to increase any square footage to the existing building. Given the
proposed hours of operation, the overall parking demands, and the types of
adjoining uses, it is reasonable to conclude that the educational center will be
compatible with the other uses in the commercial center.
The Proposed Use is physically suitable with the subject site because it will be
located in an existing building. In addition, the Proposed Use is intended to
operate within an existing commercial center and will be using existing access
and parking in the center.
5. Granting the conditional use permit will not be detrimental to the public interest,
health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or injurious to persons, propert y, or
improvements in the vicinity and zoning district in which the property is located.
The Proposed Use is located within a commercial center. Students will be
supervised at all times and will not be able to leave until picked up by parents.
Prior to the issuance of any city permits, the Project is required to comply with all
conditions of approval within the attached resolution and the Building and Safety
Division.
6. The proposed Project has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The Proposed Use is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as set forth under Article 19 Section 15301(a)
(Interior alterations involving partitions and electrical conveyances) of the CEQA
Guidelines.
Parking Permit Findings (DBMC Section 22.30.050)
1. The intent of the parking regulations, which is to ensure that sufficient parking will
be provided to serve the use intended and potential future uses of the subject
site, is preserved.

PC Resolution No. 2023-XX
The existing gross floor area of the shopping center is 52,096 square feet,
therefore, requires 174 parking spaces. The various tutoring centers and art
school require 91 parking spaces. The post-secondary school requires 34
parking spaces. The proposed educational center requires seven parking spaces.
A total of 306 parking spaces are required to be provided. There are 269 existing
parking spaces, resulting in a technical deficit of 37 parking spaces. The former
Chuck E. Cheese’s building located north of the subject site is among one of the
buildings that comprise the commercial center. When an application was
submitted to convert this building to medical offices in 2020, staff required a
parking study that provided parking demand calculations based on parking
survey observations and the ITE Parking Generation Rates (3rd Edition) signed
by a licensed traffic engineer. This study was peer reviewed by the City’s traffic
consultant. Staff analyzed and appended to the results of this study with demand
anticipated from the proposed education center. Based on the parking study, the
traffic engineer estimates there would be a demand for 249 parking spaces if all
businesses experienced peak-hour demand simultaneously. By adding seven
additional spaces for the proposed educational center (maximum number of
people at any given time), the total peak parking demand is 256 spaces.
Therefore, there would be a surplus of 13 parking spaces.
2. A parking permit is approved in compliance with Section 22.30.050 (Reduction of
off-street parking requirements for shared uses).
When reviewing parking impacts on shopping centers, the various uses and peak
business hours for those uses are taken into consideration. The existing
shopping center has uses ranging from tutoring centers, post-secondary school,
a deli, offices, medical offices, personal services, and retail uses. The different
uses result in a range of peak business hours and parking demands. As
mentioned above, the former Chuck E. Cheese’s building located north of the
subject site is among one of the buildings that comprise the commercial center.
When an application was submitted to convert this building to medical offices in
2020, staff required a parking study that provided parking demand calculations
based on parking survey observations and the ITE Parking Generation Rates
(3rd Edition) signed by a licensed traffic engineer. This study was peer reviewed
by the City’s traffic consultant. Staff analyzed and appended to the results of this
study with demand anticipated from the proposed education center. Based on the
parking study, the traffic engineer estimates there would be a demand for 249
parking spaces if all businesses experienced peak-hour demand simultaneously.
By adding seven additional spaces for the proposed educational center
(maximum number of people at any given time), the total peak parking demand
is 256 spaces. Therefore, there would be a surplus of 13 parking spaces. In
addition, group sessions would occur during night when most businesses have
closed, and the Proposed Use is not proposing to increase any square-footage
to the existing building.
It is reasonable to anticipate that the existing parking supply is adequate to serve
the overall parking demands of Plaza Diamond Bar.
