B. RESOLUTION
NOW, THEREFORE, it is found, determined and resolved by the Hearing Officer
of the City of Diamond Bar as follows:
The Hearing Officer 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 Hearing Officer 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 City Code (DBCC) Sections 22.56 and 22.68, the Hearing Officer
hereby finds as follows:
Minor Conditional Use Permit Findings (DBCC 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 a two-story
2 Administrative Review Resolution No. 2025-15
addition to an existing nonconforming structure with a rear setback of 12'-
8" (where 20 feet is required).
The substandard rear setback distance to the edge of the buildable pad
parallel to the east property line renders the project nonconforming. The
addition of a nonconforming structure requires approval of a Minor
Conditional Use Permit because the addition is not limited to the ground
floor. The proposed two-story addition consisting of 994 square feet of floor
area to an existing one-story home complies with the development
standards of the RLM zone, and will maintain the existing nonconforming
rear setback.
2. The proposed use is consistent with the general plan and any applicable
specific plan.
The proposed addition to a 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
994 square feet of floor area complies with the development standards of
the RLM zone, and will maintain the existing nonconforming east rear
setback. The two-story addition is located directly above the existing
dwelling. The design of the proposed addition is compatible with the
character of the existing homes in the neighborhood as neighboring
properties also have nonconforming rear setbacks, and the addition would
not result in a significant impact to privacy for neighboring properties
because of the proposed revisions and conditions of approval as discussed
in the following section.
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 proposed addition to the single-
family residential dwelling. The existing and proposed use of land is
consistent with the surrounding land uses. The proposed addition of floor
area is consistent with the development standards for the RLM zone and
will maintain the existing nonconforming rear setback.
In addition, the proposed addition will not be intrusive to neighboring homes
and respects privacy. Based on public testimony and site visits, four key
areas of concerns associated with the proposed project were identified:
privacy, obstructed view of mountains, potential use of boarding house, and
construction -related impacts to the shared driveway.
3 Administrative Review Resolution No. 2025-15
There were concerns about the proposed addition, in conjunction with the
placement of the second -story windows, creating a privacy concern. The
following measures are incorporated into the proposed project to alleviate
concerns regarding privacy.
• Install a non -transparent window film on both sides of the window pane
and add planter boxes to create a vegetative screen that covers the
bottom half of the two second -story windows on the proposed south
facing elevation;
Reduce the size of the second -story window on the proposed west
facing elevation that could potentially have direct view into the rear yard
of 2006 Chestnut Creek Road into a rectangular, transom style window
that is only used for natural light; and
• Retain the existing 36-inch box Tropical Ash tree. A condition was added
to ensure that the subject tree remains (Condition #3).
Given these proposed revisions and conditions of approval, staff concludes
that the proposed addition would not result in a significant impact to privacy.
There were concems that the proposed addition would obstruct existing
views of the mountains. Staff determined that while the proposed addition
will obstruct views, the existing view is minimal and largely obstructed by
rooflines, fencing, and mature landscaping.
There were objections to the proposed bedroom count as neighboring
property owners stated that the subject property had previously been used
as a boarding house. The applicant will be required to record a Covenant
and Agreement prohibiting rental of rooms under separate agreements and
prohibiting use as a boarding or rooming house. The property owner also
informed staff that they will be residing in the home after the remodel and
addition is complete.
There were concerns that construction activities could block or damage the
private driveway serving the subject property and 2002 Chestnut Creek
Road. A condition has been added that requires the driveway to remain
unobstructed and fully accessible at all times, with any damage repaired or
replaced upon project completion (Condition #4).
Staff believes all issues and concerns have been addressed in the redesign
and conditions of approval. In addition, the applicant will replace the
proposed Indian Laurel Figs with 26 Skyrocket Junipers, at 15-gallon
container size each, as Indian Laurel Figs are considered invasive in
Southern California. The Skyrocket Junipers will be planted along the
northern and southern edges of the buildable pad to provide screening
between the addition and adjacent properties.
4 Administrative Review Resolution No. 2025-15
Furthermore, the addition will match the residence's proposed exterior
remodel in color and building materials and will incorporate similar
architectural features. Therefore, the addition will be visually integrated into
the existing home's exterior remodel and not negatively impact the look and
character of the neighborhood.
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. In fact, the proposed project will
restore the residence to a habitable condition and enhance its overall
appearance as the residence suffered significant fire damage in 2023 which
resulted in the destruction of majority of the existing first floor.
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(e) (additions to existing structures) of the CEQA Guidelines.
Non -conforming Structures Findings (DBCC Section 22.68.030)
The addition, enlargement, extension, reconstruction, relocation or structural
alteration of the nonconforming structure would not result in the structure
becoming:
1. Incompatible with other structures in the neighborhood.
The proposed two-story addition of floor area is consistent with the
development standards of the RLM zone, and will maintain the existing
nonconforming east rear setback of 12'-8". The existing and proposed use
of land is consistent with the surrounding land uses and structures in the
neighborhood. Neighboring properties also have nonconforming rear
setbacks, therefore, 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 a 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.
5 Administrative Review Resolution No. 2025-15
3. A restriction to the eventual/future compliance with the applicable
regulations of this Development Code.
The existing and proposed use of land is consistent with the surrounding
land uses with similar rear setbacks. The proposed two-story addition is
consistent with the development standards for the RLM zone and will
maintain the existing nonconforming east rear setback.
4. 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 the Building
and Safety Division and Public Works/Engineering Department
requirements.
5. Detrimental and/or injurious to property and improvements in the
neighborhood.
The addition to the existing single-family dwelling unit will be constructed in
a manner similar with the existing dwelling units located in the surrounding
neighborhood and will not be detrimental and/or injurious to property and
improvement in the neighborhood.
Based upon the findings and conclusion set forth above, the Hearing Officer hereby
approves this Application, subject to the following conditions:
Development shall substantially comply with the plans and documents
presented to the Hearing Officer at the public hearing.
2. Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant shall record, and provide
the City with a conformed recorded copy of, a Covenant and Agreement or
similar document in a form approved by the City Attorney, which restricts
the rental of rooms or other portions of the property under two or more
separate agreements and prohibits use of the property as a boarding or
rooming house, except to the extent otherwise permitted by the Diamond
Bar City Code or applicable state or federal law.
3. The property owner/applicant shall retain the existing 36-inch box Tropical
Ash tree, as shown on the proposed site/landscape plan, in order to provide
screening between the proposed second floor addition and the property
located at 2012 Chestnut Creek Road. The tree shall be maintained in good
health and condition.
4. The private driveway that serves both 2000 and 2002 Chestnut Creek Road
shall remain unobstructed and fully accessible at all times during
construction. Construction tools, equipment, vehicles, and related materials
shall not block access to or restrict use of the shared driveway. Additionally,
6 Administrative Review Resolution No. 2025-15
any damage to the private driveway resulting from construction activities
shall be repaired or replaced upon project completion.
5. Standard Conditions. The applicant shall comply with the standard
development conditions attached hereto.
The Hearing Officer shall:
