BACKGROUND: State Law requires each city to prepare and adopt a comprehensive, long-term General Plan to guide its physical development. The General Plan is a policy document comprised of goals and policies for implementation. In the fall of 2016, the City embarked on a comprehensive update to the General Plan to create a community vision and blueprint for the City through 2040. The City Council adopted Diamond Bar General Plan 2040 on December 17, 2019. In accordance with California Government Code Section 65400(b), the City is required to submit an annual General Plan status report to the local legislative body (City Council), the State Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on the status of the General Plan, its implementation progress, and how the City is meeting the region's housing needs. The attached report lists the City's progress toward the implementation of the General Plan for the period of January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024. The Planning Commission is asked to review the annual report and forward a recommendation to the City Council for its consideration as the legislative body responsible for administering the General Plan. Once accepted by the City Council, the report will be submitted to OPR and HCD. This report is due to HCD by April 1, 2025. Major accomplishments during this period include the following: • Development Code Amendments: Various sections of the Development Code to allow supportive housing, low barrier navigation centers and large residential care facilities along with revisions to the accessory dwelling unit (ADU) standards and Packet Pg. 12 6.1 density bonus provisions were adopted to implement Housing Programs contained in the City's certified 2021-2029 Housing Element, as well to conform to changes in new State housing laws and City policies. In 2024, 42 building permits for ADUs were issued (four of the building permits included both an ADU and JADU on the property). The amendments to the Development Code implement General Plan Goal LU-G-7 and Housing Element Programs H-10, 11 and 12 of the 2021-2029 Housing Element. Additionally, the City drafted a General Plan Amendment to allow a maximum residential density of 30 dwelling units per acre in the Town Center Mixed Use designation; a Development Code Amendment to establish the Housing Element Site Overlay ("H") zoning designation and associated development standards; and Zoning Map Amendment to rezone the sites identified in Program H-8 of the 2021- 2029 Housing Element with the H zoning designation, scheduled for City Council review and adoption on January 27, 2025. • ALPR Camera System: The City has been proactive to community safety needs with the implementation of the Flock Safety Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) camera system, which consists of 50 cameras throughout the City. These cameras serve as a tool that provides local law enforcement investigators with key evidence in a number of cases and provide for a safe and secure environment for residents and property. This project implements General Plan Goal PS-G-5. • Genasys Project: In collaboration with Los Angeles County Office of Emergency Management (OEM), County of Los Angeles Fire Department, and Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the City finalized and implemented the Genasys Project, where the City of Diamond Bar and cities throughout LA County have pre - designated fire evacuation zones that can be used to communicate to residents in the event of a fire emergency requiring evacuation. The system is complete and the zones are available through the Genasys Project and the City's Emergency Alert System. This project implements General Plan Policy PS-P-14. • Keep It Local: Shop Diamond Bar First Campaign: The City launched a new City subsite to promote everything economic development, including the Keep It Local: Shop Diamond Bar First campaign. The subsite has information and resources for existing and prospective business, and a directory of all Diamond Bar businesses. This project implements General Plan Policy LU-P-13. • Area 3 Pavement Rehabilitation Project: This was a large-scale project that rehabilitated more miles of arterial and residential roadway than ever before, but also addressed two major drainage problems and added nearly eight linear miles of new bicycle lanes. This project implements General Plan Goals and Policies LU-P- 5, LU-P-14, LU-P-51, CC-G-5, CC-P-2, CR-P-2, CR-P-20, CR-P-43, RC-G-7, PS-P- 12 and Climate Action Plan Objectives #2 and 6. 2024 General Plan Status Report Page 2 of 3 Packet Pg. 13 6.1 Option E LED Streetlight Conversion Project: The scope of this project included the conversion of all 5,000 streetlight fixtures from high-pressure sodium vapor lamps to light emitting diodes (LED).

Monitor and evaluate potential impacts of proposed adjacent, local, and regional developments to anticipate and require mitigation to the greatest extent feasible to reduce land use, circulation, and economic impacts on Diamond Bar. Ensure that adequate public services, facilities, and infrastructure are available or provided to support new development, including water, wastewater, stormwater, solid waste, transportation, public safety, and parks. Supplemental EIR was made through the end of 2024, and the public review draft is anticipated to be released in the winter of 2025. See Land Use Chapter Goal LU-G-3. In December 2022 and December 2023, the City provided letters in response to the Notice of Preparation (NOP) and Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR), respectively, published by the Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning. These reports pertain to the proposed development of 360 dwelling units on a 75.65-acre portion of the Royal Vista Golf Club. The City requested further analyses and mitigation measures to address concerns related to potential blight, land use, safety, and transportation. Additionally, the City called for an evaluation of potential development impacts on the remaining 80-acre portion of the golf course. In May 2024, the Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning published a Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR). The City reviewed the FEIR and attended two County -held public hearings on the project. At the July 24, 2024 public hearing, the Los Angeles County Regional Planning Commission approved the project, but an appeal was filed with the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. At the October 1, 2024 public hearing, the County Board of Supervisors denied the appeal and upheld the original approval.

The Annual Plan outlined the City's proposed Measure W expenditures for the fiscal year, including CIP projects, routine maintenance, consultant costs, efforts to pursue grant funding, and staff time. As a result, Diamond Bar received its local return of over $850K for FY2023-24.

Where the General Plan designates higher densities, provide adequate transitions to existing development. Incorporate architectural and landscape design features in new development that create more pedestrian -friendly neighborhoods, such as orientation to the street; set -back, or detached garages; tree -lined streets; and landscaped parkways between streets and sidewalks. Provide opportunities for and incentivize the development of housing types that are affordable to all segments of the Diamond Bar community, including senior housing and independent assisted living facilities, residential care facilities, and rental and for -sale housing units affordable to low and moderate -income households. Support existing commercial centers by encouraging ongoing investment and, where appropriate, reuse and redevelopment. Promote the revitalization of existing neighborhood commercial centers by encouraging property owners to maintain and improve the appearance of individual buildings and commercial centers through building fagade improvements, landscaping, and pedestrian improvements. All new residential development requires review and approval by the Planning Commission through a Development Review application process to assess a project's compatibility, architectural design, size, scale and massing with the neighborhood. The Planning Commission reviews the design 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. In compliance with recent legislation, the City has begun the process of formulating objective design standards for residential development, beginning with the drafting of the Town Center Specific Plan regulatory document, and has embarked on the preparation of Citywide objective design standards. Through the development review process, all new development is reviewed to promote high functional and aesthetic architectural and landscape standards to complement and add to the economic, physical, and social character of Diamond Bar. On November 21, 2024, the City received an application for a proposed development of a 44-unit multi -family residential project located at 2235 Morning Canyon Road. The project would provide 36 market -rate units, four very low-income units, and four moderate income units. The City approved Conditional Use Permits for a variety of business enterprises, thereby encouraging ongoing investment in existing commercial centers. In addition, 246 new business licenses and 1,682 renewals of existing business licenses were issued. The City launched a new City subsite to promote everything economic development, including the Keep It Local: Shop Diamond Bar First campaign. The subsite currently has information and resources for existing and prospective business, and a directory of all Diamond Bar businesses. (www.diamondbarca.gov/economicdevelopment).

Branding and marketing for the Keep It Local campaign include a logo, a color palette (purple and blue) pulled from our approved City brand colors, and a slogan, "It's not just a transaction, it's an investment in the community!". Elements created as part of the July campaign launch were custom fabric and vinyl banners for outreach events, and social handles such as #KeepltLocalDB, #Shop Diamond BarFirst, and #ShopDBFirst During project review, staff ensures that all office, commercial, and industrial areas provide improved vehicular accessibility, traffic flow, and parking availability as well as review for opportunities to incorporate pedestrian and bicycle access and amenities. Adaptive Traffic Control System The City's Adaptive Traffic Control System (ATCS) was deployed in 2020 and continues to adapt based on actual traffic demands. The system accommodates construction projects of various durations and other traffic -impacting activities to promote circulation along the City's arterial roadways. Traffic Signal Battery Back -Up Systems All of the City's maintained traffic signals feature a battery backup system (BBS) that helps extend operations amid power disruptions.

In 2024, as part of the annual Capital Public Works Improvement Program, the City replaced the BBS units at several intersections to ensure that the hardware is ready for use with future outage events as planned. SR57/60 Confluence Project The construction of the SR57/60 Confluence Project continued in 2024. The installation of the new trunk sewer mainline along Golden Springs Drive, from Gateway Center Drive to Lavender Drive, was completed in December 2024. This allows for the ongoing construction of the SR57 northbound overpass bridge extension improvements above Golden Springs Drive. In addition, the SR57 northbound ramps at Grand Avenue were modified in preparation for the upcoming Grand Avenue bridge replacement. Throughout all phases of this project, the City is collaborating with the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) and contractors to Page 6 of 50 Packet Pg. 20 6.1.a manage traffic flow affected by the various stages of construction. The project is scheduled for completion in 2028. Grand Avenue and Golden Springs Drive Intersection Improvements Project The improvements at the Grand Avenue and Golden Springs Drive intersection were completed in 2024. This project's scope included roadway widening, traffic striping and signage modifications, and decorative amenities and landscaping enhancements consistent with the City's streetscape theming.

Resource Conservation POLICY # CHAPTER GOALS & POLICIES STATUS DEPARTMENT RESOURCE CONSERVATION A conservation element is required to provide guidance for the conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources, including water quality and hydraulic force, forests, soils, rivers and other waters, harbors, fisheries, wildlife, minerals, and others as applicable to each jurisdiction. An open space element is intended to ensure that cities and counties recognize that open space land is a limited and valuable resource, and that they prepare and carry out open space plans to guide the comprehensive long-range preservation and conservation of open space land. The Resource Conservation Chapter provides policies to guide the City's stewardship of its resources, ensuring the conservation and enhancement of open spaces, biological resources, water and air quality, and cultural resources.

Require, as part of the environmental review process prior to approval of discretionary development projects involving parcels within, adjacent to, or surrounding a significant biological resource area, a biotic resources evaluation of the site by a qualified biologist. Focused plant surveys shall be conducted at the appropriate time of year, and local reference populations checked to ensure detectability of the target species. Wildlife shall also be evaluated by a qualified biologist through appropriate survey or trapping techniques necessary to determine presence. Such evaluation shall analyze the existing and potential natural resources of a given site as well as the potential for significant adverse impacts on biological resources. The report shall identify measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate any impacts to species that have been observed or have the potential of being present on the site. In approving any permit based on the evaluation, the City shall require implementation of mitigation measures supported by the evaluation, or work with the applicant to modify the project if mitigation is determined not to be adequate to reduce the impacts to a non -significant level. Require, to the greatest extent feasible, new development to preserve mature native trees including oak and walnut, and trees of significant cultural or historical value such as sycamore and arroyo willow, etc., as set forth under the Diamond Bar Tree Preservation The Canyon Loop Trail project included many improvements to the existing trail and triggered habitat monitoring to comply with all state and federal requirements for the protection, replacement and restoration of native habitat affected by the project. The City contracted with Michael Baker International and Helix Environmental to implement the five-year Habitat Mitigation Monitoring Program to implement mitigation measures supporting the natural habitat found around the Canyon Loop Trail. Currently, three unique areas on the trail are being restored and enhanced to meet the existing conditions. During project review, the Planning Division ensures that the plant palette is diverse, Southern California native and drought -tolerant vegetation is utilized, and that the planting and irrigation plans comply with the City's Water Efficient Landscaping Ordinance. In compliance with the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the Canyon Loop Trail project, focused plant and nesting bird surveys were conducted prior to any habitat restoration work during the breeding seasons of the California Gnatcatcher and Cactus Wren. The Planning Division reviews each project to evaluate if a protected tree can be preserved or retained on -site. If preservation is not feasible, trees are required to be replanted at a minimum 3:1 ratio pursuant to the City's Tree Preservation and Protection Ordinance.

There is a waiting list of pre-screened applicants, and HIP loans are processed in the order received. On June 20, 2023, the City Council approved the expansion of the HIP to utilize both CDBG and PLHA funds to broaden the scope of homeowners eligible to receive HIP loans. Key changes of the updated HIP Program Policies are highlighted below: • The maximum loan amount for single-family detached homes increased from $20,000 to $30,000. • Owner -occupants of condominiums that meet the household income requirements are now eligible for HIP loans for up to $20,000, provided that PLHA funds are available. The maximum loan amount is lower than the cap for single-family detached homes because costlier improvements, such as roof maintenance and exterior repairs, are the responsibility of the condominium HOAs, not the individual homeowners. • PLHA funds may be used to issue loans to households (both single-family detached and condominium) earning up to 150% of the Area Median Income (AMI) for L.A. County. CDBG funds continue to be restricted to owner - occupied households of single-family detached housing earning no more than 80% of AMI. • A minimum loan amount of $10,000 is now required. Previously, no minimum was specified. Establishing a minimum loan amount encourages homeowners to address more improvements at once, and provides economies of scale with respect to the administrative costs associated with processing loans. The HIP is successful in improving housing conditions and is being continued at available funding levels. This program is beneficial in reducing problems such as overpayment and 3.

In December 2019, the City adopted the Comprehensive General Plan Update that created community visions and blueprint for growth and development in the City through 2040. One of the key features of the new General Plan was the establishment of three new Focus Areas where substantial land use changes are planned as part of a strategy to provide walkable mixed -use activity centers. Goals and policies to promote mixed use developments are as follows: Land Use Goals 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 22, 24, 26, Land Use Policies 15, 16, 21, 23, 27, 28, 29, 35, 45; Community Character and Placemaking Goals 7, 8, 14, 17; and Circulation Goal 4. In June 2022, the City kicked off the preparation of the Town Center Specific Plan (TCSP) for the Town Center Mixed -Use focus area. The TCSP will provide the regulatory and urban design framework to establish a downtown, or "Town Center" in Diamond Bar as a walkable place with entertainment, retail, restaurants community gathering spaces and urban housing opportunities. Staff and the consultant team completed the draft TCSP document. Progress on the Supplemental EIR was made through the end of 2024, and the public review draft is anticipated to be released in the spring of 2025. See Land Use Chapter Goal LU-G-4 and Policy CC-P-21. In 2017, the City approved an amendment to the municipal code pertaining to accessory dwelling units to satisfy all of the requirements of Government Code §§65852.150-65852.2. Per AB 68 (Ting), AB 587 (Friedman), AB 671 (Friedman), AB 881 (Bloom), SB 13 (Wieckowski) that went into effect January 1, 2020. In 2021, the City adopted a subsequent amendment to ADU regulations in accordance with the new State laws. On July 16, 2024, the City adopted another Development Code Amendment for consistency with the most recent passages of AB 2221 (Quirk -Silva) and SB 897 (Wieckowski). The updated ADU Ordinances have been effective in supporting the production of ADUs and provides affordable rents to low- and moderate -income households. An ADU handout has been created which is being distributed at the public counter. The City continues to encourage accessory dwelling units and this program is being continued. 42 building permits for ADUs totaling 33,016 square feet were issued (Four of the building permits includes both an ADU and JADU). On July 16, 2024, the City adopted a Development Code Amendment to allow supportive housing and low barrier navigation centers consistent with State law and to allow large residential care facilities serving seven or more persons in all residential zones.

The Trust provides funding and loans to help bridge funding gaps for affordable housing projects. The City continues to offer efficient permit processing. As a small city, staff is able to work closely with applicants through the review and approval process, thereby helping to expedite the entitlement process to issuance of building and zoning permits. In addition, the City has several procedures in place to minimize project review times, which include concurrent processing, pre -application reviews, and General Plan EIR, which allows for individual projects that fall within the scope of the EIR to utilize this as environmental clearance under CEQA. 13. Efficient Project Processing Continue to offer streamlined development processing, and periodically review Practices to streamline the issuances for residential projects such as room departmental processing procedures to ensure efficient project processing. additions and ADUs have been implemented to eliminate the need to submit a separate application for Planning prior to applying for building permits. The pandemic accelerated implementation of online permit services, and by June 2020, applicants were able to submit applications, plans and payments entirely online. In 2023, the City embarked on the implementation of a new permitting software (Enterprise Land Management system), which will eventually streamline City processes and project processing and expected to go live by July 2025. This program will be further enhanced through revisions to the Development Code. Page 48 of 50 Packet Pg. 62 6.1.a PROGRAM # I OBJECTIVES I STATUS 14. Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing 15.

On December 21, 2021, the City adopted an urgency ordinance to expand the housing supply in single-family zones by allowing for lot splits and duplexes under the parameters of SB 9. The permanent ordinance is anticipated for Planning Commission hearing in the spring of 2025 The City contacted the Los Angeles County Development Authority (CACDA) Housing Rights Center to obtain information regarding fair housing and services available through LACDA, and posted the information as well as conducted a presentation about services available at two events (Wednesday Walkers and Senior Health Day) on November 6 and 13, 2024. The City continues to distribute fair housing information at the public counter through brochures and post information about the programs on the City's website, and refers fair housing related complaints to the Housing Rights Center. The City plans to continue sharing the information through the City's newsletters both in electronic and print, videos, and socials. The City supports the provision of housing for disabled persons through zoning opportunities for transitional housing, reasonable accommodation procedures, and programs to facilitate affordable housing. In 2010, the City adopted an ordinance to facilitate reasonable accommodations. This program is an important component of the City's overall efforts to address the special housing needs of persons with disabilities and is being continued and revised to include additional amendments to City regulations to incorporate recent changes to State law. The City is currently processing a Development Code Amendment to ensure that reasonable housing accommodation procedures do not inadvertently act as a constraint on persons with disabilities. The Code Amendment is anticipated for Planning Commission hearing in spring of 2025 CAP POLICIES AND ACTIONS I IMPLEMENTATION I GENERAL PLAN GOALS & POLICIES CLIMATE ACTION PLAN ("CAP") A Climate Action Plan is a comprehensive inventory of specific activities a public agency should undertake to reduce greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions that originate within its jurisdiction. The City of Diamond Bar adopted a Climate Action Plan concurrently with the General Plan Update to document how it will be able to reduce its GHG emissions in compliance with State mandates and goals to the year 2040, which is the horizon year for the General Plan Update. The table below lists the General Plan Update goals and policies that have been implemented to reduce GHG emissions, quantifies emissions reductions, and explains how these policies and actions will be implemented and organized according to the following categories: 1.

This report was prepared by Planning Intern, Rudy Lopez. SUMMARY: Zhen Wang, the applicant for ASA Yoga Pilates, is requesting approval for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to operate a Pilates fitness studio within a 1,125 square -foot vacant lease space at Diamond Bar Town Center, a 39,965 square -foot multi -tenant shopping center. RECOMMENDATION: Packet Pg. 65 7.1 Adopt the attached Resolution (Attachment A) approving Conditional Use Permit No. PL2024-85, based on the findings of Diamond Bar City Code (DBCC) Section 22.58, subject to conditions. BACKGROUND: The subject property consists of a 1.24-acre parcel located on the northwesterly side of Diamond Bar Boulevard between Grand Avenue and Clear Creek Canyon Drive. The center consists of a variety of tenants, including retail stores, restaurants, personal services, professional and dental offices, banks, a tutoring center, a chess school, and a gym. The property was developed in 1986 under Los Angeles County standards with a 21,759 square -foot, two-story, multi -tenant commercial building divided into 19 tenant suites. The site shares reciprocal parking and access with neighboring commercial parcels and a Southern California Edison (SCE) substation, collectively known as the Diamond Bar Town Center. There are 197 total off-street parking spaces on site, including those serving the 21,759-square-foot commercial building where the proposed Pilates fitness studio will be located. The property is legally described as Lot 1 of Parcel Map No. 186. The Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) is 8717-031-010.

ASA Yoga Pilates operates boutique fitness studios and currently has locations in Arcadia and Temple City. Pilates is a low -impact exercise system designed to strengthen the body's core, including the abdomen, back, thighs, glutes, and pelvic floor, using specialized equipment such as reformers, Pilates balls, and fitness chairs. The proposed facility would include the following areas: • Front desk area for members to check in; • Exercise area with four reformers and four fitness chairs to accommodate up to four clients per class; and • Office/storage room and one restroom. :EI7 DOER :q p41r1 8 �7 a�r.�Jsrcw+r� � �5x95 �j ItUWAY Lj I g3I r F (�] GLA�zAA.1 � I I � e Mir WN)DW Proposed Floor Plan Packet Pg. 68 7.1 ASA Yoga Pilates specializes in small group Reformer Pilates classes, accommodating up to four clients per session with one certified instructor per class. During business hours, there will be no front desk or receptionist staff, with the instructor serving as the sole on -site employee. The business plans to employ a maximum of two instructors. Classes will run for 60 minutes and begin either on the hour or half-hour throughout the week. The proposed operating hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., offering services seven days a week. The following table lists the proposed class schedule, featuring appointment only classes. Class duration is 60 minutes with 30-minute-transitions in between classes.

When evaluating a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), factors such as the location, design, configuration, operational characteristics, and potential impacts of the proposed use are considered to assess whether it may harm public health, safety, or welfare. If the proposed use is found to be compatible with its surroundings, the Commission may approve it, subject to conditions outlining how the use must be conducted. Conversely, if the Commission determines that the proposed use is likely to be detrimental to public peace, health, or welfare, the request must be denied. 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 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 Conditional Use Permit No. PL2024-85 Page 5 of 9 Packet Pg. 69 7.1 previous tenant and would not be permitted to expand the business without full review and approval by the Planning Commission. Required Parking The required number of parking spaces for Pilates fitness studios is one space per 150 square feet of gross floor area and one space for each employee. Shopping centers between 20,000 and 50,000 square feet in size are required to provide one parking space for every 250 square feet of gross floor area. The parking requirements for businesses approved under a CUP (e.g., schools, tutoring, health/fitness studios, etc.,) are calculated separately. As previously mentioned, the project site shares reciprocal parking and access with neighboring commercial parcels and a Southern California Edison (SCE) substation, collectively known as the Diamond Bar Town Center. There are 197 total off-street parking spaces on site, including those serving the 21,759-square-foot commercial building where the proposed Pilates fitness studio will be located. The parking required for the current mix of uses within the Diamond Bar Town Center, minus the proposed Pilates fitness studio, is 171 spaces. The parking requirement for the proposed Pilates fitness studio is 10 spaces. The total off-street parking requirement for the Diamond Bar Town Center would thus be 181 spaces, leaving a surplus of 16 spaces based on current Development Code parking requirements.

Diamond Bar Town Center includes a mix of restaurants, professional and dental offices, a tutoring center, a chess school, a gym, and various retail and personal service establishments. This diverse mix Conditional Use Permit No. PL2024-85 Page 6 of 9 Packet Pg. 70 7.1 results in fluctuating peak business hours and parking demands, with the highest demand typically occurring on weekdays between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. The proposed Pilates fitness studio plans to hold classes throughout the day, both on weekdays and weekends. By staggering class start times in 30-minute intervals, the overlap of members arriving for and leaving from classes will be mitigated, reducing potential parking congestion. Assuming each instructor and member arrives in a separate vehicle, the proposed use could create a demand for up to six parking spaces to accommodate two instructors and the arrival of four clients at the start of each class. In a worst -case scenario, the peak parking demand remains at six spaces, as the 30-minute transition period between outgoing and incoming members mitigates any overlap. Assuming the existing tutoring center could generate a peak demand of 11 parking spaces, the existing non -degree school could generate a peak demand of 11 parking spaces, and the existing gym could generate a peak demand of 32 parking spaces, and all other businesses are experiencing peak operations (a highly unlikely scenario), the shopping center's peak parking demand could reach 197 spaces. Since 197 parking spaces are available, there would be no surplus of spaces under this scenario. Taking into account the proposed 30-minute gaps between classes, staff does not foresee any parking issues resulting from the proposed use. The existing parking supply is adequate and can accommodate the proposed Pilates fitness studio, together with the center's other tenants and patrons. In addition, the proposed Pilates fitness studio will not add square footage to the existing building. Worst -Case Parking Demand ParkingParking Demand.-.

The shopping center has a variety of uses, including retail stores, restaurants, personal services, professional and dental offices, banks, a tutoring center, a chess school, and a gym. Considering the proposed hours of operation, the available parking, and the variety of existing uses, the Pilates fitness studio is anticipated to be a compatible addition to this location. Furthermore, the proposed use aligns with the current zoning designation of Regional Commercial. Noise: The Pilates Circle will maintain low background music during classes, ensuring it is played at a volume that allows the instructor to communicate clearly with clients. The music's maximum sound level will not exceed 50 decibels, in compliance with DBCC Section 22.28. As a result, noise from the proposed Pilates fitness studio is expected to be minimal and would not be a nuisance to the adjacent businesses or immediate surroundings. However, if noise, traffic, or parking issues arise once the Pilates fitness studio is in operation, the Community Development Director, after providing the applicant a reasonable opportunity to address and mitigate these impacts, may refer the matter back to the Planning Commission.

PL2024-85 TO OPERATE A PILATES FITNESS STUDIO WITHIN A 1,125 SQUARE -FOOT VACANT LEASE SPACE LOCATED AT 1155 SOUTH DIAMOND BAR BOULEVARD, UNIT U, DIAMOND BAR, CA (APN 8717-031-010). A. RECITALS Property owner, Diamond Bar Town Center, LLC, and applicant, Zhen Wang for ASA Yoga Pilates, have filed an application for Conditional Use Permit No. PL2024-85 to operate a Pilates fitness studio for ASA Yoga Pilates in a 1,125 square -foot tenant space within an existing shopping center. The project site is more specifically described as 1155 South Diamond Bar Boulevard, Unit U, Diamond Bar, Los Angeles County, California. Hereinafter in this resolution, the subject Conditional Use Permit shall collectively be referred to as the "Project" or "Proposed Use." 2. The subject property is comprised of a 1.24 gross acre parcel. It is located in the Regional Commercial (C-3) zone with a General Plan land use designation of General Commercial. 3. The legal description of the subject property is Lot 1 of Parcel Map No. 186 and the Assessor's Parcel Number is 8717-031-010. 4. On January 31, 2025, public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within a 700-foot radius of the project site. On January 31, 2025, the notice was published in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune newspaper; the project site was posted with a notice display board; and a copy of the public notice was posted at the City's designated community posting sites. 5. Due to a lack of quorum, the regular Planning Commission meeting was adjourned pursuant to Government Code Sections 54955 and 54955.1, and all business items scheduled before the Planning Commission for February 11, 2025, were continued to February 25, 2025. 6. On February 25, 2025, the Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar conducted a duly noticed public hearing, solicited testimony from all interested individuals, and concluded said hearing on that date. B. 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 Packet Pg. 74 7.1.a in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 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 City Code (DBCC) Section 22.58, the Planning Commission hereby finds and approves as follows: Conditional Use Permit Review Findinas (DBCC 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 DBCC Section 22.10.030 Table 2-6, health and fitness facilities, as defined by DBCC Section 22.80.020, are permitted in the C-3 zoning district with approval of a conditional use permit. The proposed fitness studio will be located in a vacant tenant space within Diamond Bar Town Center, an existing shopping center. Through compliance with the conditions of approval stipulating the manner in which the use must be conducted, the proposed fitness studio 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 Goal LU-G-11: ("Support existing commercial centers by encouraging ongoing investment and, where appropriate, reuse and redevelopment') in that the Proposed Use will occupy an existing tenant space. The Proposed Use is consistent with General Plan Goal ED-G-3: ("Support the retention, rehabilitation, and/or expansion of existing businesses, and the attraction of new businesses') in that the Proposed Use is a new business locating within an existing shopping center. 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 will be located within an existing tenant space within a 21,759 square -foot, two-story, multi -tenant commercial building occupied by a variety of tenants, including retail stores, restaurants, personal services, professional and 2 PC Reso No. 2025-XX Packet Pg. 75 7.1.a dental offices, banks, a tutoring center, a chess school, and a gym. The Proposed Use complies with the City's Development Code parking requirements, and the parking demand generated by the Proposed Use is not likely to exceed the number of on -premise parking spaces available to serve the Proposed Use at any given time. The Proposed Use will operate from Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Low background music will be played throughout each class, kept at a volume that allows the instructor to be heard by their clients. The applicant proposes to keep the sound level of the music at a volume not to exceed 50 decibels, a level that is in compliance with the City's Noise Ordinance. Therefore, noise generated by the Proposed Use would likely be negligible, and not be a nuisance to the adjacent businesses or immediate surroundings. Through compliance with the conditions of approval stipulating the manner in which the use must be conducted, the Proposed Use will be compatible with the other uses within the commercial building and surrounding neighborhood. 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 Proposed Use is located within a multi -tenant shopping center occupied by including retail stores, restaurants, personal services, professional and dental offices, banks, a tutoring center, a chess school, and a gym. The project site shares reciprocal parking and access with neighboring commercial parcels and a Southern California Edison substation, collectively forming the Diamond Bar Town Center. The existing gross floor area of the Diamond Bar Town Center requires 137 parking spaces, the existing tutoring center requires 11 parking spaces, the existing non -degree school requires six parking spaces, the existing gym requires 17 parking spaces, and the proposed Pilates fitness studio requires 10 parking spaces based on Development Code requirements. The Diamond Bar Town Center provides a total of 197 off-street parking spaces. The varying uses result in a range of peak business hours and parking demands. Assuming that each instructor and member arrives in a separate vehicle, the proposed use could potentially generate a demand for six parking spaces. In addition, class times are spaced between 30-minute gaps to limit the demand for parking spaces during the Pilates fitness studio's operating hours. Under a worst -case scenario, the existing tutoring center could generate a peak demand of 11 parking spaces, the existing non -degree school could generate a peak demand of 11 parking spaces, the existing gym could generate a peak demand of 32 parking spaces, and the proposed Pilates fitness studio could potentially generate a peak demand of six parking spaces. Assuming all other businesses are experiencing peak operations, the shopping center's peak parking demand could reach 197 spaces. Since 197 parking spaces are available, there would be no surplus of parking spaces under this scenario. Taking into account the proposed 30-minute gaps between classes, staff does not foresee any parking issues resulting from the proposed use. The existing 3 PC Reso No. 2025-XX Packet Pg. 76 7.1.a parking supply is adequate and can accommodate the proposed Pilates fitness studio, together with the center's other tenants and patrons. In addition, the proposed Pilates fitness studio will not add 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 Proposed Use will be compatible with the other uses in the commercial center and neighborhood. The Proposed Use is physically suitable at the subject site because it is operating within an existing commercial shopping 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, property, or improvements in the vicinity and zoning district in which the property is located. 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. D. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL Based upon the findings and conclusion set forth above, the Planning Commission hereby approves Conditional Use Permit No. PL2024-85, subject to the following conditions: 1. This approval is for the operation of a Pilates fitness studio in a 1,125 square -foot tenant space located within an existing shopping center as described in the application on file with the Planning Division, the Planning Commission staff report for Conditional Use Permit No. PL2024-85 dated February 11, 2025, and the Planning Commission minutes pertaining thereto, hereafter referred to as the "Use." 2.

If, at any time, the City finds that the Use is the cause of a parking deficiency, noise nuisance, or other land use impact, within or beyond the subject property boundaries, the Community Development Director, after providing the entitlement holder a reasonable opportunity to mitigate the impact(s) to an acceptable level, may refer the matter back to the Planning Commission to consider amending or revoking this Conditional Use Permit to address such impacts. 5. No changes to the approved scope of services comprising the Use shall be permitted unless the applicant first applies for an amendment to this Conditional Use Permit, pays all application processing fees and receives approval from the Planning Commission, except that the Community Development Director may administratively approve minor modifications to the use if it is determined.

However, due to a lack of quorum, the meeting was adjourned pursuant to Government Code Sections 54955 and 54955.1, and all business items scheduled before the Planning Commission for February 11, 2025, were continued to February 25, 2025. SUMMARY: The property owner, Michael Zavaro, and the applicant, Liliger Damaso of Liquor License Brokers, are requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow the sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits under a Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Type 21 License (Off -sale General) within an existing convenience store at a Mobil fueling station. The convenience store is currently approved to sell beer and wine under an ABC Type 20 License (Off -sale Beer and Wine). Before ABC can issue the Packet Pg. 85 7.2 requested license, the Planning Commission must also determine that issuance of the Conditional Use Permit would serve the "public convenience or necessity." RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the attached Resolution (Attachment A) approving Conditional Use Permit No. PL2024-64, based on the findings of Diamond Bar City Code Section 22.58, subject to conditions; and determine that issuing the requested Conditional Use Permit would serve the "public convenience or necessity." BACKGROUND: The site is a 0.63-acre commercial lot located at the southeast corner of Golden Springs Drive and South Brea Canyon Road, which is a signalized intersection. The property was developed in 1984 under Los Angeles County standards with a 2,900 square -foot Mobil fueling station canopy, an 846 square -foot convenience store, a 648 square -foot carwash building and 296 square -foot storage shed. In September 2024, approval was granted for a 158 square -foot addition to the carwash building for storage purposes. The addition has not been constructed. In August 2019, the convenience store was granted an ABC Type 20 License permitting the sale of beer and wine for off -site consumption. The property is legally described as Lot 1 of Parcel Map No. 51-8. The Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) is 8763-006-021. Site and Surrounding General Plan, Zoning and Land Uses The following table describes the surrounding land uses located adjacent to the subject property - General Plan The image below highlights the subject property: Conditional Use Permit No. PL2024-64 Page 2 of 13 Packet Pg. 86 7.2 Site Aerial of Project Location — Mobil Fueling Station Project Site (View from South Brea Canyon Road) Conditional Use Permit No. PL2024-64 Page 3 of 13 Packet Pg. 87 7.2 --- Mobil Mart Convenience Store Site and Project Description As stated, the subject property is developed with four structures. The site is improved with six off-street parking spaces, landscape areas along the perimeter of the property, onsite exterior lighting, interior and exterior 21-video camera surveillance system, an alarm system and ancillary self -serve air and water stations. The convenience store sells grocery and sundry items, as well as beer and wine for off - site consumption. The property owner submitted a request to also allow the sale of distilled spirits, which is the focus of this request. The alcoholic beverage sales area for beer and wine currently encompasses 30 square feet of the 846 square -foot building. The applicant proposes to allocate an additional 16 square feet of display area for distilled spirits. The fueling station operates daily from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., Monday through Friday, and from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The fueling station is staffed by at least one employee during operating hours. ANALYSIS Review Authority for Conditional Use Permit (CUP) — Diamond Bar City Code Section 22.58 A Conditional Use Permit is required for the sale of alcoholic beverages in conjunction with the sale of motor fuel at an existing fueling station. When reviewing a CUP, consideration is given to the location, design, configuration, operational characteristics and potential impacts to determine whether or not the Conditional Use Permit No. PL2024-64 Page 4 of 13 Packet Pg. 88 7.2 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, the 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. Factors that should be considered when reviewing this request for the additional sale of distilled spirits for off -site consumption at the existing Mobil convenience store include the following: vehicular circulation and parking; neighborhood compatibility; proximity to sensitive uses, such as schools and playgrounds; and the concentration of off -site alcohol sales outlets within the subject census tracts, along with crime statistics within the subject law enforcement reporting district. These considerations help assess and mitigate the potential for unlawful or disruptive behavior associated with alcoholic beverage sales. 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 approved, the proposed CUP would only be valid at this location, and the rights grants and restrictions imposed through the approval of a CUP are passed along to future property owners and operators of the property and use. The addition of distilled spirits sales at the convenience store will have a negligible impact on the site. There will be no exterior changes to the structure. The interior of the store will remain unchanged except for the replacement of approximately 16 square feet of existing general merchandise display area with shelving for distilled spirits, which constitutes a relatively small portion of the total merchandise display area. Landscaping The existing site perimeter consists of barren planter areas lacking vegetation, resulting in unsightly street frontages along South Brea Canyon Road and Golden Springs Drive. In September 2024, the property owner agreed to install new trees, shrubs, and groundcover along the perimeter of the site as part of the approval for a 158 square -foot storage addition to the carwash building. The approved landscape plan is shown below: Conditional Use Permit No. PL2024-64 Page 5 of 13 Packet Pg. 89 7.2 GOLDEN SPRINGS DR. SYMBOL COMMON NAME o Crape Myrtle Dwarf Bottlebrush Texas Privet Raspberry Ice Bougainvillea Mundi Coastal Rosemary OLittle Rev Flax Lily Silver Streak Flax Lily OMoor Grass Emerald Blanket The new landscaping would have addressed a longstanding deferred maintenance issue, and enhance the appearance of a prominent intersection. However, neither the storage addition nor the landscaping has been installed to date. To address this unresolved deferred maintenance issue, the draft Resolution includes a condition of approval requiring all perimeter landscaping to be installed before the issuance of the ABC Type 21 License. Parkina and Circulation Vehicular access to the site is provided by four means of ingress and egress. There are two driveway approaches for entering and exiting the property via northbound traffic along South Brea Canyon Road. The other two driveway approaches for entering and exiting via eastbound traffic are located along Golden Springs Drive. Adequate parking is provided onsite. The Development Code requires fueling stations and convenience stores to provide a minimum of one space per 250 square feet of gross floor area. As such, the 846 square feet convenience store building requires four off-street parking spaces. There are six parking spaces, including one accessible space. The sale of alcoholic beverages does not affect the parking requirement because no square footage is being added to the building. The addition of distilled spirits to the store's alcoholic beverages inventory is also not expected to substantially increase the number of vehicle trips at the fueling station. The Conditional Use Permit No. PL2024-64 Page 6 of 13 Packet Pg. 90 7.2 convenience store is an ancillary use to the fueling station, and according to the applicant, the majority of customers visit the convenience store after purchasing motor fuel. Compatibility with Neighborhood The site is surrounded by commercial uses to the north, east, and west, with single- family residences located to the south of the subject site. The additional sale of distilled spirits will be ancillary to the sale of gasoline and retail items currently provided within the convenience store. Proximity to Similar Commercial Uses Two commercial establishments located near the intersection of Golden Springs Drive and South Brea Canyon Road are approved for the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits. These include the general retailer Market World located at 21080 Golden Springs Drive and the specialty retailer YYDS Wine & Spirits, Inc. located at 21180 Golden Springs Drive. Given the presence of nearby establishments already permitted to sell similar alcoholic beverages, it is reasonable to conclude that granting a permit for the subject property would not create incompatibility with other neighborhood uses. Proximitv to Sensitive Uses DBCC Section 22.10.030 requires off-site/off-sale alcoholic beverage retailers' to be at least 150 feet away from any elementary, middle, or high school. The 150-foot distance requirement does not apply to art, dance, and martial arts studios; fitness training centers; commercial tutoring centers; or establishments that provide courses via the Internet. The site is approximately 0.52 miles from Walnut Elementary School, located at 841 Glenwick Avenue. There are also no public playgrounds, parks, nonprofit youth facilities, or other locations where children may congregate. The nearest park—Larkstone Park, located at 20668 Larkstone Drive —is approximately 0.70 miles away, measured from the nearest boundary lines. The nearest religious use —The Church in Diamond Bar, located at 1200 South Brea Canyon Road —is approximately 700 feet away, also measured from the nearest boundary lines. As a result, potentially undesirable situations such as juvenile loitering or other inappropriate activities are considered highly unlikely. A condition of approval is also included, requiring employees on -site to take necessary actions to discourage loitering and littering on the premises. "Off -site" or "off -sale" means alcohol that is sold in sealed containers for consumption off -site. "On -site" or "on -sale" means alcohol that is served for consumption within the premises from which it is sold, such as a restaurant or bar. Conditional Use Permit No. PL2024-64 Page 7 of 13 Packet Pg. 91 7.2 Concentration of Off -Sale Alcohol Licenses In addition to the Conditional Use Permit application, the property owner submitted an application to ABC for a "Type 21 (Off -Sale General)" license to replace the existing "Type 20 (Off -sale Beer and Wine)" license. A Type 21 license authorizes the sale of distilled spirits (e.g., whiskey, vodka, etc.) in addition to beer and wine for consumption off the premises where sold. ABC regulates the distribution of liquor by setting limits on the different types of licenses. Section 23958.4 of the California Business and Professions Code allows ABC to consider "undue concentration" when reviewing an application for an alcohol license. Section 23958.4 defines undue concentration to exist in any of the following locations: 1. A crime reporting district with a 20 percent greater number of reported crimes than the City's average. ("Reported crimes" means the most recent yearly compilation by the local law enforcement agency of reported offenses of criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny, theft, and motor vehicle theft, combined with all arrests for other crimes, both felonies and misdemeanors, except traffic citations). 2. A census tract where the ratio of on -sale licenses to population exceeds the ratio of on -sale retail licenses to population in the county in which the license is being issued. 3. A census tract where the off -sale licenses to population exceeds the county's ratio of off -sale to population. The project site is located within Census Tract 4033.28 and Los Angeles County Law Enforcement Reporting District 2928. ABC reviewed the proposed application and determined that a "public convenience or necessity" (PCN) determination is required based on the project location and reported crime statistics for calendar year 2020, which was the most recent data available to the agency at the time of review. ABC reported that for Census Tract 4033.28, three Type 21 licenses are allowed and four currently exists. ABC also reported that in Law Enforcement Reporting District 2928, the average number of reported crimes is greater than 20 percent of the City's average as illustrated below: Reporting Year 2020 Citywide average number of reported crimes 107.5 Total number of reported crimes (Reporting District 2928 248 Number of reported crimes above Citywide average 140.5 Percent increase in reported crimes compared to Citywide average 131% Conditional Use Permit No. PL2024-64 Page 8 of 13 Packet Pg. 92 7.2 According to ABC, an additional finding of PCN is required before ABC would issue an off -premise license in a "high crime" area. If the requested CUP is approved by the Planning Commission, the CUP findings would provide the facts to support the separate PCN finding. Census Tract 4033.28 Conditional Use Permit No. PL2024-64 Page 9 of 13 Packet Pg. 93 7.2 Los Angeles County Reporting District 2928 Review Authority for Public Convenience or Necessity (PCN) Determination: On January 17, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2006-04, delegating the authority to the Planning Commission to determine whether a PCN finding can be made to warrant the issuance of an alcohol license. Facts to Support a Public Convenience or Necessitv (PCN) Findi The following are facts that support the requested PCN determination: • Diamond Bar is nationally recognized for being one of the safest cities in the country. While ABC recognizes Law Enforcement Reporting District 2928 as a "high crime" area, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) Diamond Bar/Walnut Station has confirmed that Law Enforcement Reporting District 2928 is not a "high crime" area by any metric used by the LASD. • LASD has provided the City of Diamond Bar with updated crime statistics for Law Enforcement Reporting District 2928 for calendar years 2023 and 2024, as shown in the table below: Conditional Use Permit No. PL2024-64 Page 10 of 13 Packet Pg. 94 7.2 Reporting Year 2023 Citywide average number of reported crimes 118 Total number of reported crimes(Reporting District 2928 242 Number of reported crimes above Citywide average 124 Percent increase in reported crimes compared to Citywide average 105% Reporting Year 2024 Citywide average number of reported crimes 110 Total number of reported crimes (Reporting District 2928 220 Number of reported crimes above Citywide average 110 Percent increase in reported crimes compared to Citywide average 100% As shown in the tables above, the total number of reported crimes fluctuates over time. LASD data indicates a decrease in reported crimes in Law Enforcement Reporting District 2928 for calendar years 2023 and 2024. The updated statistics also show a decline in the percentage of crimes in District 2928 relative to the Citywide average. Additionally, the census tract/reporting district spans over 950 acres and includes some of the City's busiest commercial areas, including the intersections at Golden Springs Drive/South Brea Canyon Road, Golden Springs Drive/Lemon Avenue, and South Brea Canyon Road/Pathfinder Road. The 57/60 Freeways also extend through the census tract, contributing to high traffic volumes. Given the district's geographic characteristics, the number of "reported crimes" (a broad category) is relatively low. Therefore, a 105 percent increase above the Citywide average is, in reality, a small number. • LASD reviewed the project and determined that based on the negligible amount of floor area added to accommodate distilled spirits; and relatively low crime attributed to the subject property, there was no objection to the request for the sale of distilled spirits for off -site consumption. • The property owner maintains a 21-video camera surveillance system to monitor the store's activity and has an alarm system. Video recordings are maintained for a minimum of seven days. LASD staff conducted a site visit and deemed the security surveillance system sufficient. Conditions of approval are included in the attached resolution, requiring the long-term operation and maintenance of the surveillance system. • ABC will impose and monitor compliance with conditions of licensure, as it does with any other ABC license type. Adherence to ABC's conditions of licensure will mitigate impacts on public safety and welfare and safeguard the community from the Conditional Use Permit No. PL2024-64 Page 11 of 13 Packet Pg. 95 7.2 potential negative effects of on -premises consumption of alcoholic beverages, such as sales to minors. • There are 15 ABC Type 21 licenses in commercial areas throughout Diamond Bar. As indicated above, three of the Type 21 alcoholic beverage retail establishment are located nearby to the intersection of Golden Springs Drive and South Brea Canyon Road. Denial of the requested ABC Type 21 license would: 1. Place the convenience store at an unfair competitive disadvantage with nearby alcoholic beverage retailers with ABC Type 21 licenses in proximity to the Golden Springs Drive/South Brea Canyon Road intersection; and 2. Limit pricing and selection comparison opportunities for Diamond Bar residents. Based on the above analysis, staff finds permitting beer, wine and distilled spirits negative impact to the surrounding uses. Additional Review that issuance of an ABC Type 21 license for off -site consumption, will not have a The Building and Safety Division and Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department reviewed this project, and their comments are included in the attached resolution as conditions of approval. NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING: On January 31, 2025, public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within a 500-foot radius of the project site. The notice was submitted to the San Gabriel Valley Tribune newspaper for publication on January 31, 2025. A notice display board was posted at the site, and a copy of the notice was posted at the City's designated community posting sites. PUBLIC COMMENTS: No comments have been received as of the publication date of this report. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: The request has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Based on that assessment, the City has determined that the requested CUP finding, along with the subsequent issuance of an ABC Type 21 license, is exempt from the provisions of CEQA, as set forth under Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. This exemption applies because it can be determined with reasonable certainty that a CUP finding will not have a significant effect on the Conditional Use Permit No. PL2024-64 Page 12 of 13 Packet Pg. 96 7.2 environment. Alcohol sales would have a negligible additive effect on impacts normally associated with retail or fuel sales, such as traffic trip generation. As such, no further environmental review is required.

PL2024- 64 TO ALLOW THE SALE OF BEER, WINE AND DISTILLED SPIRITS UNDER ABC TYPE 21 LICENSE (OFF -SALE GENERAL) FOR OFF -SITE CONSUMPTION, REPLACING THE EXISTING ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL (ABC) TYPE 20 LICENSE (OFF -SALE BEER AND WINE); AND DETERMINE THAT THE REQUESTED CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT WOULD SERVE THE "PUBLIC CONVENIENCE OR NECESSITY" LOCATED AT 1024 SOUTH BREA CANYON ROAD, DIAMOND BAR, CA (APN 8763-006-021). A. RECITALS 1. The property owner, Michael Zavaro, and the applicant, Liliger Damaso for Liquor License Brokers, are requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow the sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits under a Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Type 21 License (Off -sale General) within an existing convenience store at a Mobil fueling station; and to determine that issuing the requested CUP would serve the "public convenience or necessity". 2. The subject property is located in the Regional Commercial (C-3) zone with a General Plan land use designation of Commercial (C). 3. The legal description of the subject property is Lot 1 of Parcel Map No. 51-8 and the Assessor's Parcel Number is 8763-006-021. 4. On January 31, 2025, a notification of the public hearing for this project was published in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune newspaper. On the same date, public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within a 500-foot radius of the project site and posted at the City's designated community posting sites. 5. Due to a lack of quorum, the regular Planning Commission meeting was adjourned pursuant to Government Code Sections 54955 and 54955.1, and all business items scheduled before the Planning Commission for February 11, 2025, were continued to February 25, 2025. 6. On February 25, 2025, the Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar conducted a duly noticed public hearing, solicited testimony from all interested individuals, and concluded the hearing on that date. 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. Packet Pg. 98 7.2.a 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 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. It can be determined with reasonable certainty that a CUP finding will not have a significant effect on the environment. Alcohol sales would have a negligible additive effect on impacts normally associated with retail or fuel sales, such as traffic trip generation. As such, no further environmental review is required. C. FINDINGS OF FACT Based on the findings and conclusions set forth herein and as prescribed under DBCC Section 22.58, the Planning Commission hereby finds and approves as follows: Conditional Use Permit (DBCC 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 City Code. Pursuant to DBCC Section 22.10.030, Table 2-6, off -site alcoholic beverage sales in conjunction with the sale of motor fuel are permitted in the C-3 zoning district with the approval of a conditional use permit. The fueling station and convenience store comply with all Development Code and City Code standards, including a requirement that off -site alcoholic beverage retailers be at least 150 feet away from any elementary, middle, or high school. 2. The Proposed Use is consistent with the general plan and any applicable specific plan. The Proposed Use is consistent with General Plan Goal ED-G-3: ("Support the retention, rehabilitation, and/or expansion of existing businesses, and the attraction of new businesses'). The sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits under ABC Type 21 License (Off -sale General) for off -site consumption expands the capacity of an existing business to serve local needs. 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 site is surrounded by commercial uses to the north, east, and west, with single-family residences located to the south of the subject site. The proposed sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits under ABC Type 21 License (Off -sale General) will be compatible with the existing uses. The sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits already exists within other establishments. Furthermore, the additional sale of distilled spirits will be ancillary to the sale of gasoline and retail items currently provided within the convenience store. The addition of distilled spirits at the store will not alter the physical appearance 2 PC Reso No. 2024-XX Packet Pg. 99 7.2.a of the existing structure, and the interior of the convenience store will not be significantly modified. The alcoholic beverage sales area for beer and wine currently encompasses 30 square feet of the 846 square -foot building. The applicant is proposing to dedicate an additional 16 square feet of display area to distilled spirits, which is a relatively small percentage of total merchandise display area. In summary, the operational characteristics of the Proposed Use are compatible with the existing retail environment of the site. Additionally, through compliance with the conditions of approval stipulating the manner in which the use must be conducted, the activities associated with the Proposed Use will be compatible with the other uses within the convenience store, fueling station and surrounding neighborhood. 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 Proposed Use is physically suitable with the subject site because it will be located in an existing building. No changes are proposed to the exterior of the building or physical layout of the site, including access, parking, circulation or utilities. The interior of the store will remain unchanged except for the replacement of approximately 16 square feet of existing general merchandise display area with shelving for distilled spirits, which constitutes a relatively small portion of the total merchandise display area. The addition of distilled spirits to the store's inventory is also not expected to substantially increase the amount of traffic at the fueling station. The convenience store is an ancillary use to the fueling station. There are also no public schools, public playgrounds, parks, nonprofit youth facilities, or other location where children may congregate. The site is approximately 0.52 miles away from Walnut Elementary School, located at 841 Glenwick Avenue. The nearest park—Larkstone Park, located at 20668 Larkstone Drive —is approximately 0.70 miles away, measured from the nearest boundary lines. The nearest religious use —The Church in Diamond Bar, located at 1200 South Brea Canyon Road —is approximately 700 feet away, also measured from the nearest boundary lines. As a result, potentially undesirable situations such as juvenile loitering or other inappropriate activities are considered highly unlikely. A condition of approval is also included requiring employees on -site to take necessary actions to discourage loitering and littering on the premises. The site is surrounded by existing commercial establishments permitted to sell alcoholic beverage. Two commercial establishments located near the intersection of Golden Springs Drive and South Brea Canyon Road are approved for the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits. These include the general retailer Market World located at 21080 Golden Springs Drive and the specialty retailer YYDS Wine & Spirits, Inc. located at 21180 Golden Springs Drive. Given the presence of nearby establishments already permitted to sell similar alcoholic beverages, it is reasonable to conclude that granting a permit for the subject property would not create incompatibility with other neighborhood uses. 3 PC Reso No. 2024-XX Packet Pg. 100 7.2.a The subject property is located within the Los Angeles County Law Enforcement Reporting District 2928. ABC classifies the subject reporting district as "high crime". ABC guidelines state that undue concentration exists if a crime reporting district has a 20 percent greater number of reported crimes than the city's average. "Reported crimes" refers to the most recently available compilation by the local law enforcement agency of reported offenses, including criminal homicide, forcible rape, aggravated assault, robbery, burglary, theft, arson and motor vehicle theft, combined with all arrests for other crimes, both felonies and misdemeanors, except traffic citations. ABC reviewed the proposed application and determined that a "public convenience or necessity" (PCN) determination is required based on the project location and reported crime statistics. The findings made herein provide the facts that support the separate PCN finding. While ABC recognizes Law Enforcement Reporting District 2928 as a "high crime" area, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) Diamond Bar/Walnut Station has confirmed that Law Enforcement Reporting District 2928 is not a "high crime" area by any metric used by the LASD. LASD has provided the City of Diamond Bar with updated crime statistics for Law Enforcement Reporting District 2928 for calendar years 2023 and 2024. LASD data indicates a decrease in reported crimes in Law Enforcement Reporting District 2928 for calendar years 2023 and 2024. The updated statistics also show a decline in the percentage of crimes in District 2928 relative to the Citywide average. LASD also reviewed the project and determined that based on the negligible amount of floor area added to accommodate distilled spirits and relatively low crime attributed to the subject property, there was no objection to the request for the additional sale of distilled spirits for off -site consumption. 5. Granting the conditional use permit will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity and zoning district in which the property is located. The sale of distilled spirits for off -site consumption in conjunction with the sale of motor fuel at an existing convenience store and fueling station will be subject to the licensing requirements and resolutions of the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, in addition to the conditions set forth in this resolution. In light of these facts, the approval of the application will not be 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 use is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as set forth under Article 19 Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. It can be determined with reasonable certainty that a CUP finding will not have a significant effect on the environment. 4 PC Reso No. 2024-XX Packet Pg. 101 7.2.a Alcohol sales would have a negligible additive effect on impacts normally associated with retail or fuel sales, such as traffic trip generation. As such, no further environmental review is required. D. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL Based upon the findings and conclusion set forth above, the Planning Commission hereby approves Conditional Use Permit No. PL2024-64, subject to the following conditions: 1. This approval is for the sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits in conjunction with the sale of motor fuel in an existing convenience store at a Mobil fueling station as described in the application on file with the Planning Division, the Planning Commission staff report for Conditional Use Permit No. PL2024-64 dated February 25, 2025, and the Planning Commission minutes pertaining thereto, hereafter referred to as the "Use." 2.

A Minor Conditional Use Permit is requested to allow the continuation of an existing nonconforming structure with a 20'-6" front setback (where 30 feet is required). RECOMMENDATION: Packet Pg. 111 7.3 Adopt the attached Resolution (Attachment 1) approving Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. PL2024-43, based on the findings of Diamond Bar City Code (DBCC) Sections 22.48, 22.56 and 22.68, subject to conditions. BACKGROUND: The project site is located in the Diamond Bar Country Estates (The Country), on the west side of Rocky Trail Road. The property was developed in 1980 under Los Angeles County standards with a 2,586 square -foot single family residence and a 545 square - foot garage on a 0.65 gross -acre (28,208 gross -square foot) lot. It is a hillside property and the addition is proposed on the existing building pad. There are eight California black walnut protected trees on the property. A previous property owner constructed unpermitted modifications to the residence and site, which includes adding approximately 555 square feet of living area. The addition increased the total living area to 3,141 square feet. Additionally, the owner constructed a circular driveway in the front yard and retaining walls in the rear yard to support an expanded building pad and deck area. On November 9t", 2021, the Planning Commission approved Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. PL2021-22 permitting a 2,141 square -foot addition, exterior and interior remodel and rear yard improvements to the existing residence. The property owner did not obtain grading or building permits for the project, and the Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit approval subsequently expired. The proposed project has been approved by the Diamond Bar Country Estates Architectural Committee on July 29, 2024. The property is legally described as Lot 89 of Tract No. 30578, and the Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) is 8713-025-020. Site and Surrounding General Plan, Zoning and Land Uses The image below highlights the subject property: Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit Planning Case No. PL2024-43 Page 2 of 14 Packet Pg. 112 7.3 Site Plan View (Aerial) Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit Planning Case No. PL2024-43 Page 3 of 14 Packet Pg. 113 7.3 Project Site (Existing Residence) Adjacent Property to the North (2629 Rocky Trail Road) Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit Planning Case No. PL2024-43 Page 4 of 14 1 Packet Pg. 114 7.3 Adjacent Property to the South (2639 Rocky Trail Road) The following table summarizes the land use status of the subject property and its surroundings: DesignationGeneral Plan District Site Rural Residential RR Single -Family Residential North Rural Residential RR Single -Family Residential South Rural Residential RR Single -Family Residential East Rural Residential RR Single -Family Residential West Rural Residential RR Single -Family Residential Project Description Oita Plan As stated, the property's gross lot area is 0.65 gross -acres (28,208 gross -square foot), which includes a 30-foot wide private street easement along the frontage of Rocky Trail Road. The property is an irregular -shaped lot with a net buildable area (i.e., minus the private street easement) of 0.57 net acres (24,758 square feet). The property is a Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit Planning Case No. PL2024-43 Page 5 of 14 Packet Pg. 115 7.3 hillside property with a descending average slope at 25 percent that starts from the private street easement to the rear property line. The existing house is situated toward the front of the lot, approximately 20 feet, six inches from the edge of the private street easement line along Rocky Trail Road. The entrance to the residence faces Rocky Trail Road and an unpermitted circular driveway provides access to a two -car garage. Grading Plan The applicant is proposing to cut approximately 160 cubic yards of soil and fill approximately 110 cubic yards of soil. Therefore, approximately 50 cubic yards would have to be exported from the site. The proposed grading activities are limited to areas in proximity to the residence, preserving the majority of the site's unimproved natural slope. The applicant is proposing to legalize a number of unpermitted retaining walls in the rear yard. Existing retaining walls are limited a maximum of four feet in height and provide support for the building pad to create a flat, usable rear yard area for the residence. Additional four -foot high retaining walls are proposed at key locations along the rear to support additional deck areas, stairways and planter areas. All exposed portions of existing and proposed retaining walls will have a decorative finish, with the use of painted stucco to match the residence. ArrhitPr ti irp The applicant is proposing to remodel the entire house and add to the side and rear of the existing house. The architectural style of the existing home is Neo-Mansard with an oversized mansard roof, a recessed entry, small window openings, and a rectangular building form. The applicant is proposing to redesign in a contemporary architectural style, featuring a minimalist exterior defined by clean lines, geometric wall planes, and incorporates the following design elements: • A flat roof with varying heights to break up the roof massing; • Exterior fapade consisting of painted stucco, imitation -wood fiber cement siding and metallic trims, with the use of projections and articulation; • Vinyl windows of various sizes and configurations; • Black aluminum deck/balcony railings and exterior wooden gates; and • Simple color scheme, which includes white and gray stucco walls in combination with earthen brown accent siding. Windows, doors and decorative trims include variations of brown, bronze and black, which complements the neutral color tones of the walls. Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit Planning Case No. PL2024-43 Page 6 of 14 Packet Pg. 116 7.3 The residence maintains a degree of architectural quality and visual interest without the need for excessive ornamentation, which is consistent with the proposed architectural style. r East (Front) Elevation West (Rear) Elevation The proposed remodel and addition to the sides and rear of the existing residence and consists of the following components: • First floor level: common areas (gym, storage), two bedrooms with walk-in closets and bathrooms; • Second level: common areas (living room, kitchen, dining room, laundry), master suite with walk-in closet and bathroom, powder room, office, two -car garage, carport and balcony; • Staircase providing access to both levels; and • Additional 82 square feet of outdoor, ground -level deck areas. Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit Planning Case No. PL2024-43 Page 7 of 14 Packet Pg. 117 7.3 The floor area distribution is summarized below: PROJECT SUMMARY (sauare footaae) Living Area* 3,141 o Upper Floor 2,127 o Lower Floor 1,014 Garage 545 EXISTING FLOOR AREA 3,686 Addition: • Upper Floor Living Area 56 • Lower Floor Living Area 329 Addition: Balcony 281 PROPOSED FLOOR AREA 4,352 Ground -Level Deck Areas 2,642 o Existing 2,560 o Proposed 82 *Approximately 555 square feet of the existing 3,141-square-foot living area is unpermitted. This project scope includes legalizing the unpermitted addition. The rear yard consists of a flat, concrete deck area supported by a single retaining wall adjacent to the rear of the residence. Two additional tiers of retaining walls —with a maximum height of four feet per wall —support a flat, dirt pad located beyond the deck area towards the rear of the property. The concrete deck is proposed to be expanded and include new stairways, planter areas and wood deck. The height of the building is 28 feet, measured from the finished grade to the highest point of the roofline. The existing residence has a nonconforming front setback of 20 feet, 6 inches (30 feet is required). Because the front setback does not fully conform to current development standards, the residence is classified as a "nonconforming structure" pursuant to DBCC Section 22.68.030. Landscape Plan A total of 21 unprotected trees and eight protected trees (California black walnut) exists onsite. All protected trees are located outside of the proposed grading and construction area. Of the remaining 21 unprotected trees, 13 will be removed and replaced at a 1:1 ratio. The applicant is proposing to plant twenty 24-inch box Brisbane box trees, three Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit Planning Case No. PL2024-43 Page 8 of 14 Packet Pg. 118 7.3 24-inch box fruit trees and one 60-inch box swan hill fruitless olive tree. A total of 24 trees will be planted to replace the 13 trees proposed for removal. At project completion, there will be a total of 40 trees onsite (24 replacement trees and 16 existing trees). As a precautionary measure, the protected trees will be protected in place with protective, chain -link fencing to be installed prior to construction activities. For work close to the protected zone, protective measures shall include, but are 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. Protected Trees ^ \ ` _, i \ r� OOP ;"(0 00 ro+�m Location of Protected Trees Additionally, various 15-gallon, 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 Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit Planning Case No. PL2024-43 Page 9 of 14 Packet Pg. 119 7.3 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 "Very 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 (Diamond Bar City Code (DBCC) Sections 22.48 and 22.56) The proposed project requires Planning Commission review and approval of two entitlement applications: Development Review (DR) and Minor Conditional Use Permit (MCUP). The analysis that follows provides the basis for staff's recommendation to approve the DR and MCUP applications. Development Review (DBCC Chapter 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 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. Development Standards: The following table compares the proposed project with the City's development standards for residential development in the RR zone: Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit Planning Case No. PL2024-43 Page 10 of 14 Packet Pg. 120 7.3 evelopment Feature Residential Development Proposed Meets Requirements at, Standards Front Setback - • ide Setbacks P1 10 feet on one side and 10' — south side 15 feet on the other 15-6" — north side rSide Yard Minimum 25— north _ Between Adjoining hk Structures — south _ Wear Setback WLot CovFNION Maximum of ' .

Minor Conditional Use Permit (DBCC Chapter 22.56) An MCUP is required if a change or expansion of a nonconforming structure is greater than 50 percent of the existing square footage of all structures on site, or if the addition is not limited to the ground floor. As stated, the existing residence has the following nonconforming setback: • 20'-6" front setback (where 30 feet is required) The proposed addition is located at the rear and side of the house and does not further encroach into the front setback. The City supports homeowners' efforts to make appropriate improvements to their properties, and recognizes that reasonable accommodations should be made to permit additions and alterations to nonconforming structures. The MCUP process is the tool used to consider such accommodations, subject to the findings set forth in the Development Code. MCUPs are normally subject to approval of the City's Hearing Officer (typically the Community Development Director). However, because this MCUP is being reviewed as part of a DR application, both land use entitlements are subject to review and approval of the Planning Commission. Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit Planning Case No. PL2024-43 Page 11 of 14 Packet Pg. 121 7.3 Staff believes that approving the MCUP as described above is appropriate and compatible with other residences in the neighborhood, based on the following facts and observations: • The existing dwelling was built in 1980, prior to the incorporation of the City of Diamond Bar; • The proposed addition complies with the required side and rear setbacks and distances to the adjacent properties, and does not further encroach into the existing nonconforming 20-foot, six-inch front setback; • The proposed second floor addition is located above the existing residence; and • Neighboring properties have similar nonconforming front setbacks, so the proposed project will remain consistent with other homes within the neighborhood. Compliance with Hillside Management Ordinance (DBCC 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 28 feet, where 35 feet is allowed; • Architectural treatment is provided on all sides of the building with varying setbacks and projections; and • All proposed retaining walls associated with the building pads are at a maximum exposed height of four feet. 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 existing house is located on an existing flat pad but will be extended for larger building footprint and rear yard improvements. The project is located between two, multi -level homes. The proposed addition will not be intrusive to neighboring homes since the proposed addition will not block existing views from adjacent properties. The adjacent property to the north has views to the west and the adjacent property to the south also have views to the west. Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit Planning Case No. PL2024-43 Page 12 of 14 Packet Pg. 122 7.3 Although the applicant is proposing to legalize 555 square feet of living area and construct a 385 square -foot two-story addition (a total of 940 square feet of additional living space), the house is comparable in mass and scale to existing homes on similar lots in The Country. The existing Neo-Mansard architectural style was primarily used in the 1960s to the 1970s as a means to "dress up" inexpensive flat -roofed residential construction in an effort to compensate for the lack of redeeming architectural qualities. Today, the Neo-Mansard style is considered dated, and the home in question is a particularly dismal example of a design trend that has largely fallen out of favor. The proposed contemporary design, with a variety of architectural elements, will significantly enhance the home and is far more compatible with the architectural character of the existing homes in The Country. The scale and proportions of the addition 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 proposed addition will conform to all development standards, including building height, lot coverage and setbacks (with the exception of the existing nonconforming front setback of 20'-6"), 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 addition 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.

Packet Pg. 125 7.3.a 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 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 22.48, 22.56 and 22.68, this Planning Commission hereby finds as follows: Development Review Findinas (DBCC 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. To minimize grading, the addition is proposed on an existing buildable pad which will be expanded to comply with the minimum rear yard setback. All exposed portions of retaining walls will have a decorative finish, with the use of stucco to match the house as to not detract from the hillside. 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 deck and balcony areas along the side and rear of the home, which further contributes to articulation. All elevations are architecturally treated and strongly articulated through projections along the visible fagade [City's Design Guidelines B. Architecture (3)]. The Project complies with all development standards of the Rural Residential zoning district by complying with all development standards such as required setbacks (with the exception of the existing nonconforming front setback of 20'- 6'), building height, and lot coverage. The project site is not part of any theme 2 PC RESOLUTIO Packet Pg. 126 7.3.a 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 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 proposed addition will not be intrusive to neighboring homes since the proposed addition will not block existing views from adjacent properties. The adjacent property to the north has views to the west and the adjacent property to the south also have views to the west. 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 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 addition are well balanced and appropriate for the 0.65 gross -acre site. The contemporary 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 to remodel the entire house and add to the side and rear of the existing house. The architectural style of the existing home is Neo- Mansard with an oversized mansard roof, a recessed entry, small window openings, and a rectangular building form. The applicant is proposing to redesign in a contemporary architectural style, featuring a minimalist exterior defined by clean lines, geometric wall planes and incorporates the following design 3 PC RESOLUTIO Packet Pg. 127 7.3.a elements: • A flat roof with varying heights to break up the roof massing; • Exterior fagade consisting of painted stucco, imitation -wood fiber cement siding and metallic trims, with the use of projections and articulation; • Vinyl windows of various sizes and configurations; • Black aluminum deck/balcony railings and exterior wooden gates; and • Simple color scheme, which includes white and gray stucco walls in combination with earthen brown accent siding. Windows, doors and decorative trims include variations of brown, bronze and black, which complements the neutral color tones of the walls. Through the use of quality materials with texture and color, the proposed residence will not be intrusive to neighboring homes. Additionally, landscaping is integrated into the site to complement the streetscape and maintain a desirable environment. The scale and proportions of the proposed addition 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. 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 15301(e) (additions to existing structures) of the CEQA Guidelines. 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 City Code. The existing single-family dwelling is a permitted use in the RR zone. A Minor Conditional Use Permit (MCUP) is requested to allow the continuation of an existing nonconforming structure with a preexisting nonconforming 20'-6" front setback (where 30 feet is required). The pre-existing substandard front setback renders the project nonconforming. The addition to a nonconforming structure requires approval of a Minor 4 PC RESOLUTIO Packet Pg. 128 7.3.a Conditional Use Permit because the addition is not limited to the ground floor. The 555-square-foot addition to be legalized and proposed 385-square-foot two- story addition and 281-square-foot balcony complies with the development standards of the RR zone and will not further encroach into the nonconforming front setback. 2. The proposed use is consistent with the general plan and any applicable specific plan. The proposed addition to an existing 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 555-square-foot addition to be legalized, the proposed 385 square feet of additional living area and 281-square-foot balcony will not further encroach into the existing nonconforming 20'-6" front setback. The contemporary architectural design of the remodeled home is compatible with other homes in the neighborhood, as the architecture in The Country is eclectic and includes a variety of architectural styles. The Project also minimizes negative impacts on surrounding uses, as the house will not block existing views from adjacent properties. Therefore, the Project is compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity. 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 existing single-family residential dwelling and the proposed addition. The existing and proposed use of land is consistent with the surrounding land uses. The proposed addition is consistent with the development standards for the RR zone and will not further encroach into the existing nonconforming front setback. 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. 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 structure) of the CEQA Guidelines. 5 PC RESOLUTIO Packet Pg. 129 7.3.a 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: Incompatible with other structures in the neighborhood. The proposed addition of floor area is consistent with the development standards for the RR zone. The Project will comply with current development standards and not further encroach into the existing nonconforming 20'-6" front setback. The existing and proposed land use is consistent with the surrounding land uses and structures in the neighborhood. Additionally, the neighboring properties also have nonconforming front setbacks, so 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. 3. A restriction to the eventual/future compliance with the applicable regulations of this Development Code. The existing and proposed land use is consistent with the surrounding land uses with similar front setbacks. The proposed addition of floor area is consistent with the development standards for the RR zone and will not encroach into the existing nonconforming front 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 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. 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 existing dwelling units located in the surrounding community and will not be detrimental and/or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood. Based upon the findings and conclusion set forth above, the Planning Commission hereby approves this Application, subject to the following conditions: Development shall substantially comply with the plans and documents presented to the Planning Commission at the public hearing. 2.
