Low, Chair/Farago None SP/Lee presented the General Plan Status Report for 2014 and asked that the Planning Commission review and approve the report and forward the report to the City Council to receive and file.- - E Db R tl F T JANUARY 27, 2015 PAGE 2 PLANNING COMMISSION C/Low asked if the report is being presented this evening in a form that is convenient for the City Council's use or is this the form mandated by Government Code §65400(b). SP/Lee responded that the state mandates the City report on the progress of each element. Staff formatted the report to make it easy for the City Council to read the different programs that the City has implemented. C/Low asked if filing the report is a ministerial duty on the City's part to comply with the state's requirement. SP/Lee responded that is correct. C/Low complimented SP/Lee on a very excellent and comprehensive report and asked if it was reflective of only the actions -taken during calendar year 2014 to which SP/Lee reiterated that it was. C/Low asked if it in any way compared with what had happened during previous years to show that if there was something outstanding from 2013 that was approved and had not been completed it would appear on the 2014 report. SP/Lee responded no, that the report primarily contains current calendar year's information only, but there could be follow-ups on ongoing programs that commenced in a prior year. Staff includes updates on programs and projects that have not yet been approved. C/Low asked if it would be helpful to not only report on current year items but bring outstanding items forward as well. SP/Lee stated that under Capital Improvement Projects there are certain projects that were not completed in 2013 that rolled over to 2014, and 2014 Capital Improvement Projects are included. C/Low said that as an example she believed the Ralph's project started in 2013 and if they were approved in 2013 and did not build in 2014 and now the calendar year is 2015, would that item show up in 2014 as well as in 2013 and SP/Lee reiterated that each year would include a report of the progress of ongoing projects. C/Low asked if the report reflects goals and whether those goals have been met or is that not helpful or relevant on this particular report. SP/Lee responded that the goals and objectives are stated and staff lists all programs that have been implemented, accomplished or met or projects that have been approved that fulfill those goals and objectives. C/Low concluded that the goals and objectives are not quantified and SP/Lee responded that C/Low was correct. Chair/Farago asked for public comment. With no one present who wished to speak on this matter, Chair/Farago closed public comments. C/Low moved, C/Pirritano seconded, to approve the General Plan Status Report for 2014 and forward the document to the City Council to receive and file.

German Cortez, Applicant, stated that for this project the owner wanted to relocate the living room to the front of the residence and modernize the front fagade to match the neighborhood and create a front entry.

PROJECT ADDRESS: 22909 Lazy Trail Road Diamond Bar, CA 91765 PROPERTY OWNER/ Dr. Hitendra Shah. APPLICANT: 22909 Lazy Trail Road Diamond Bar, CA 91765 AP/Espino presented staff's report and recommended Planning Commission approval of Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. PL2014-425, based on the Findings of Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed within the resolution. C/Low asked how the landscape plan for the front of the property fits into the City's water allocation for this property. After a general explanation of the City's Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance requirements, A/P Espino responded that this project is less than 5,000 square feet in improved landscape area and does not warrant an irrigation plan or formal landscape plan to be prepared by a landscape architect and this landscape plan, therefore, is exempt from that requirement; however, through plan check it will be verified that it uses water efficiently. C/Low asked if this project was subject to "The Country Estates" Architectural Committee and asked if that approval had been obtained. AP/Espino said he understood the approval was in process and suggested the applicant might be able to respond to that question. JANUARY 27, 2015 ) P-,-- , nR,. _7T PLANNING COMMISSION Dante Aguilas, Architect, stated that most of the landscaping at the front of the property is hardscape and continues with the present theme by merely adding more features to complement the fagade. C/Pirritano moved, C/Low seconded, to approve De ' velopment Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. PL2014-425, based on the Findings of Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed within the resolution.

PLANNING COMMISSIONER COMMENTS/IN FORMATIONAL ITEMS: C/Pirritano wished everyone a Happy New Year and thanked staff for their service to the Commission. C/Low thanked staff and hoped everyone had a good holiday. 10. STAFF COMMENTS/IN FORMATIONAL ITEMS: 10.1 Public Hearing dates for future projects. CDD/Gubman thanked Commissioners for their well -wishes, hoped they had enjoyed the holidays and were looking forward to a busy and eventful year. CDD/Gubman reported that the owner of the property on which the former Kmart building sits finally has been able to buy the lease out from Sears Holdings, the parent company for Kmart, which is a significant milestone leading toward the redevelopment of that blighted center. The City Manager's office has engaged the property owner in discussion and staff is working with its economic development consulting partners to work in partnership to achieve the highest and best use for that property. Staff is very excited about the potential that is finally closer to being realized. CDD/Gubman stated that the Planning Commissioners Academy will be held March 4 through 6 in Newport Beach. The deadline for online registration is February 3 (next Tuesday) and the City has budgeted for any and all Commissioners interested in attending to do so, so any Commissioner wishing to attend should advise staff no later than February 3 so that they can be registered. Every other year the academy alternates from southern to northern California and this year it is in southern California. if Commissioners have any questions he would welcome a call from them. Two seated Commissioners attended Iasi JANUARY 27, 2015 PAGE 6 PLANNING COMMISSION year's academy and two seated Commissioners have not had the opportunity to attend past and he would be pleased to provide an overview of what the conferences provide in assisting practicing Planning Commissioners. CDD/Gubman said that new state legislation came this year that returns to cities the regulatory authority over massage establishments. Planning staff will revise the existing ordinance pertaining to massage to include more land use controls that cities are now able to apply to these types of business establishments. While staff is crafting new regulations a moratorium which was passed by the City Council on January 6 for a period of 45 days will remain in effect. At next Tuesday's City Council meeting staff will be asking for an additional 10 months and 15 days to allow staff to continue work on the new ordinance. CDD/Gubman stated that Mayor Tye will be making his Planning Commission appointment to backfill the vacancy left by new Council Member Jimmy Lin. ` In addition, the new Council Member is required, pursuant to the City statues, to formalize an appointment to the City Council by April. CDD/Gubman updated the Commission on the City's efforts to design a gateway entry feature at the south end of the City on the Willow Heights/Diamond Park site. Two landscape architectural firms are being vetted to take over this project because the City experienced a rough start with the former landscape architect. Staff hopes to bring this project back to the front burner. C/Low is a member of the subcommittee to help guide the design vision into something tangible and staff will update the Commission as the City enters into a new contract with a designer that can fulfill the City's vision. C/Low asked if the Kmart project would be open to the citizens of Diamond Bar for feedback. CDD/Gubman responded that it is privately owned property, and while any proposed project is subject to a public process, the form of public outreach and engagement for the Kmart site is unknown at this time. C/Low asked what the City could do in terms of engaging the landlord in terms of developing the site and CDD/Gubman responded that the City controls the zoning which is currently C-3 (sub -regional commercial designation) and permissible uses for the site. There are certain restrictions within that zoning classification. Given a property of that size compared to the Target property, it is large enough for the potential of a Specific Plan for greater customization of the site which would require zoning text and map amendments. The City can use its authority to rezone the property to work with the applicant to help fulfill the goals and aspirations that the community may have for the site. Through the Specific Plan process it allows the City to write incentive -based standards into any new ordinance that the City might adopt. So, if the City wishes some type of public amenity such as a park or some type of public space, that can be written in and perhaps the parking requirement could be reduced or additional signage could be allowed and additional building height to allow the square footage to be - /59n- AI -T JANUARY 27, 2015 PAGE 7 PLANNING COMMISSION clustered on a smaller footprint. Without a Redevelopment Agency, the City does not have a lot of financial incentives so short of having that type of assistance the City would look to negotiate some amenities and flexibility. C/Low asked if the plan would come to fruition in six to nine months and CDD/Gubman said he could not speculate on a timeline because there are different scenarios that could play out depending on the overall size of the project area. Currently, the Kmart parcel consists of about 12 acres. The property owner also owns the strip center along Golden Springs Drive. What the property does not own is the property between the strip mall and Kmart (Ace Hardware and Dilliwala Indian Kitchen, etc.) so he cannot say anything involving buying and selling offers, but should a developer be able to acquire the middle piece, three contiguous parcels could be assembled for a larger and more comprehensive project. On the other side, Gentle Springs is a private street and should a developer be able to acquire any parcels on the other side of Gentle Springs, the street could be realigned and incorporated into the internal circulation for a Master Planned Development. There are many possibilities and it may be worth pursuing those types of plans rather than seeking a timeline within a year. Staff will continue to work with the property owner and see what can be done to influence efforts toward improvement. C/Low asked what was happening with the property where the East 180 Restaurant was located. CDD/Gubman responded that a new Japanese restaurant will occupy the former East 180 and there is exterior demolition work taking place at this time in preparation for an exterior remodel and tenant improvements for the interior. Plans for this project have been approved. 11. SCHEDULE OF FUTURE EVENTS: As listed in tonight's agenda.

Development Review (DBMC Chapter 22.48) Additions that substantially change the appearance of an existing residence require Planning Commission approval of a Development Review (DR) application. Development Review approval is required to ensure compliance with the City's General Plan policies, development standards, and design guidelines, and to minimize adverse effects of the proposed project upon the surrounding properties and the City in general. As stated in Section 22.48.010 of the Development Code, the Development Review process was established to ensure that new development and additions to existing development are consistent with the General Plan "through the promotion of high functional and aesthetic standards to complement and add to the economic, physical, and social character" of Diamond Bar. Development Standards: The following table compares the proposed project with the City's development standards for residential development in the RLIVI zone: Site and Grading Configuration: The property is a trapezoidal shaped lot. The existing house is situated on a split-level pad at the front of the property with a descending slope at the rear of the property. The grade differential between the pad at the top of the slope and the rear property line is approximately 40 feet. The proposed two-story addition will be added to the north (side)—above the existing first floor—and east (rear) side of the house. Additionally, a linear water feature is proposed on the split-level portion of the rear yard. Grading will be limited to the foundation for the proposed addition and minor excavation for the water feature. Development Review No. PL 2014-618 Page 5 of 7 Architectural Features, Colors, and Materials: The architecture of the existing residence is a refurbished 1960s tract design, with a flat concrete tile roof and a textured stucco exterior wall finish. The proposed Mediterranean design will maintain architectural integrity by incorporating similar fenestration patterns, matching exterior building materials, and incorporating complementary colors prevalent in the neighborhood. The roof of the proposed addition will be modified to have a 4:12 hipped roof pitch and will also incorporate roof turrets in the front and rear elevations. The mass and scale of the addition above the existing first floor and at the rear of the home is proportionate to the existing house. Landscaping: Landscape plans are not required because the site is already developed, and because the project is exempt from the City's Water Conservation Landscaping Ordinance. The ordinance would only apply if 5,000 square feet or more of the existing landscaped area was being altered. All existing trees, including a 20 -inch diameter at breast height ("DBH") Pacific Dogwood tree located on the level pad area at the rear of the house, will remain. However, landscaping that is damaged during construction, and not part of the project, will need to be restored upon project completion. This requirement is included as a condition of approval. Compatibility with Neighborhood The proposed project complies with the goals and objectives as set forth in the adopted General Plan in terms of land use and density. The project is designed to be compatible with and enhance the character of the existing homes in the neighborhood. The two-story addition is proposed to be located to the north and east (rear) sides of the existing residence, setback a minimum of 13'-2" from the adjacent (north) side property line and approximately 45 feet from the top of the slope in the rear. In addition, staff reviewed the elevations to verify proper placement of windows in relation to the adjacent homes to the north and south. The proposed bedroom windows on the north and south elevations are appropriate in size and location and will not adversely impact the neighbors since there will not be a direct line of sight between the second floor area of the proposed addition and living space on the first floor of the neighboring residences. The balcony area at the rear of the home is designed to have views to the rear of the subject property by recessing a majority of the balcony area and having a 2'-4" projection beyond the rear of the proposed addition. Also, the addition complies with the minimum 15 -foot distance requirement from the homes on the adjacent lots to the north and south, therefore, the addition will not negatively affect the adjacent neighbors. Furthermore, the addition will be compatible with other two-story homes in the immediate vicinity and incorporate appealing architectural features to complement the aesthetic appeal visible from the street. Therefore, the addition will be visually integrated into the existing home and is appropriate to the look and character of the neighborhood. The project incorporates the principles of the City's Residential Design Guidelines as follows: The proposed addition will conform to all development standards including building height and setbacks, which is consistent with other homes in the neighborhood; The addition is designed to be sensitive to surrounding homes. A transition between the project and adjacent properties is achieved through appropriate setbacks; Development Review No. PL 2014-618 Page 6 of 7 The proposed building addition is visually integrated with the primary structure by using similar forms, colors, and materials. The proposed roof type, pitch, and materials match those of the neighborhood; e The proposed remodel and addition is appropriate in mass and scale to the site; and Window type and dimensions, and other architectural features, such as a wood front door, ornamental front balcony railing, Tuscan entry columns, and textured stucco wall finish complement the design of the structure.

On February 24, 2015, 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. 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 Municipal Code (DBMC) Section 22.48, this Planning Commission hereby finds as follows: Development Review Findings (DBMC Section 22.48.040) 1. The design and layout of the proposed development is consistent with the applicable elements of the City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines, and development standards of the applicable district, design guidelines, and architectural criteria for special areas (e.g., theme areas, specific plans, community plans, boulevards or planned developments). The design and layout of the proposed remodel and two-story addition consisting of 1,232 square feet to the existing single-family residence is consistent with the City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines and development standards, including setbacks, height, and lot coverage. The two-story addition is proposed to be located to the north and east (rear) sides of the existing residence, setback a minimum of I3'-2" from the adjacent (north) side property line and approximately 45 feet from the top of the slope in the rear. The proposed remodel and addition will maintain architectural consistency with the Mediterranean style of architecture throughout the exterior elevations by matching colors, architectural elements, and exterior finish materials prevalent with this style of architecture and complementary to the neighborhood. The project site is not part of any theme area, specific plan, community plan, boulevard or planned development. 2 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2015 -XX 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 remodel and 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. In addition, no protected trees exist on- site. The proposed addition will not interfere with vehicular or pedestrian movements, such as access or other functional requirements of a single- family y home because it complies with the requirements for driveway widths and is a continuation of an existing use. 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 existing house was constructed as part of a 1960s tract development and subsequently refurbished with exterior improvements. The applicant is proposing a remodel and two-story addition above the north side of the first floor and at the rear of an existing two-story home. The proposed Mediterranean design will maintain architectural integrity by incorporating similar fenestration patterns, matching exterior building materials, and incorporating complementary colors prevalent in the neighborhood. The roof of the proposed addition will be modified to have a 4:12 hipped roof pitch and will also incorporate roof turrets in the front and rear elevations. The mass and scale of the addition above the existing first floor and at the rear of the home is proportionate to the existing house, and is designed to be compatible and complementary to the neighborhood. 4. The design of the proposed development will provide a desirable environment for its occupants and visiting public as well as its neighbors through good aesthetic use of materials, texture, color, and will remain aesthetically appealing. The architecture of the existing residence is a refurbished 1960s tract home. with a contemporary design featuring a flat concrete roof and a textured stucco wall finish. The proposed remodel and addition will maintain architectural integrity of the Mediterranean design style by incorporating fenestration patterns, exterior colors and building materials to match those 3 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2015 -XX of the neighborhood. Therefore, the addition will be visually integrated into the existing home and not negatively impact the look and character of the neighborhood. 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. Based upon the findings and conclusion set forth above, the Planning Commission hereby approves this Application, subject to the following conditions: 1.

Lemon Ave. Diamond Bar, CA 91789 (APN 8763-018-032) GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Low Density Residential (RL) ZONING DISTRICT: Low Density Residential (RL) PROPERTY OWNER: Girish and Pravina Shah 1280 S. Lemon Ave. Diamond Bar, CA 91789 APPLICANT: Gabriel Isaia 11171 Oakwood Dr. G312 Loma Linda, CA 92354 &TEMITTIUM The applicant is requesting approval of a Development Review (DR) application to construct a two-story addition consisting of 1,017 square feet of floor area and 107 square feet of balcony area to an existing two-story, 2,529 square -foot single-family residence with an attached 573 square -foot garage and 233 square feet of balcony and patio area on a 0.38 gross acre (16,700 gross square -foot) lot. A Minor Conditional Use Permit (MCUP) is requested to allow a second -story addition to a structure with an existing nonconforming setback. Adopt the attached Resolution (Attachment 1) approving Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. PL2014-574, based on the findings of Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Sections 22.48 and 22.56, subject to conditions. The project site is located on the west side of Lemon Avenue, where it intersects with Willow Bud Drive. The property was developed in 1987 under Los Angeles County standards with a 2,529 square -foot single family residence, a 573 square -foot garage and 233 square feet of balcony and patio area on a 0.38 gross acre (16,700 square -foot) lot. There are no protected trees on site. The property is a pie shaped lot. The existing house is situated toward the front of the lot, approximately 15 feet from the front property line. A 32 -foot wide Southern California Gas Company easement runs along the northern portion of the property where there are no proposed structures. The property is legally described as Lot 44 of Tract No. 33645, and the Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) is 8763-018-032. Site and Surrounding General Plan, Zoning and Land Uses The following table describes the surrounding land uses located adjacent to the subject property: Site S E ��:][ =1 Low Density ResidentialRL I 1� I I Single Family Residential F-No-r7th[ - Low Density Residential RL Single Family Residential South Low Density Residential RL Single Family Residential East Low Density Residential IF- RL IF—Single Family Residential F-W--e-s—t11 Low Density Residential RL Single Family Residential Site Aerial Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. PL 2014-574 Page 2 of 9 Panoramic Street View of Project Site Rear View of Home from the Street Project Description The proposed two-story addition is primarily located at the front and rear of the existing residence. The addition consists of the following components: Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. PL 2014-574 Page 3 of 9 PROJECT SUMMARY (square footage) Living Area First Floor Existing 1,122 New 469 Total First Floor 1,591 Second Floor Existing 1,346 New 548 Total Second Floor 1,894 Total Living Area 3,486 Garage Existing 573 New 0 Total Garage Area 673 TOTAL FLOOR AREA 4,058 Balcony/Porch/Patio Areas First Floor Existing 168 New 0 Existing patio area to be removed (168) Total First Floor 0 - Second Floor Existing 65 New 107 Total Second Floor 172 Total Balcony/Porch/Patio Area 172 The existing two-story home consists of common areas (living room, dining room, family room, and kitchen) and a half bathroom on the first floor, and four bedrooms and two bathrooms on the second floor. The applicant is proposing to add a bedroom and expand the bathroom on the first floor. There are currently four bedrooms and two bathrooms on the second floor. The applicant is proposing to expand the second floor over the existing garage to add a play room and balcony and add a loft and walk in closet to one of the existing bedrooms. The height of the existing house is 23'-9" and the height of the proposed addition is 23'-9", measured from the finished grade to the highest point of the roofline. The existing residence has a nonconforming front setback of 15 feet (20 feet is required). By definition, the residence is considered a "nonconforming structure" (DBIVIC Section 22.68.030). Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. PL 2014-574 Page 4 of 9 Approval of a Minor Conditional Use Permit is required to allow an expansion of a nonconforming. structure if the expansion is greater than 50 percent of the existing square footage of all structures, or if the expansion is not limited to the ground floor. The architecture of the existing residence is a 1980s tract home. The proposed addition is designed to blend into the existing house by using the same architectural elements and building materials as the existing residence. ANALYSIS Review Authoritv (DBIVIC Sections 22.48 and 22.56 The proposed project requires two separate, but interrelated, land use approvals: Development Review (DR) and a 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 (DIBIVIC Chapter 22.48) Additions that 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, development standards, and design guidelines, and to minimize adverse effects of the proposed project upon the surrounding properties and the City in general. As stated in Section 22.48.010 of the Development Code, the Development Review process was established to ensure that new development and additions to existing development are consistent with the General Plan "through the promotion of high functional and aesthetic standards to complement and add to the economic, physical, and social character" of Diamond Bar. Development Standards: The following table compares the proposed project with the City's development standards for residential development in the RL zone: Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. PL 2014-574 Page 5 of 9 Deve.lopme.nt T.11p, W�-Zv J_ U U_ W: IN111. fonto (ANdki-101,12"M• 15 feet (existing) 20(addition) `Side S�etbacks�10'-0" on one side and 65'-6" — north side 65'-6" — north side 5'-0" on the other side 19'-3" — south side 19'-3" — south side — ---------------- - '0 on 77 feet — n#rth site t — north side 77 fee��Structures 51'-2" — south si 51'-2" — south side 00 l pkg ia gen 3 7F11,0010,011mm HIR, ='e ug Maximum of 40"/o 001 WN-1 1 1- _19�' I 13,0j,dq VERNON i I H$W i g g ffl,'10101, etaini - RetaimngWallson 07 esden k'01f,iRkr,kj: 11 M, 2-car garage 3-car ga ge * Minor Conditional Use Permit is requested to allow the continuation of a nonconforming structure because the addition is greater than 50 percent of the existing home and is not limited to the ground floor. See MCUP discussion on page 7. **On a pie -shaped lot, the rear setback is measured from an imaginary line, five feet long, between side lot lines that is parallel to the front property line See DBMC Section 22.16.090 (2)(d)(2). ***Retaining walls located at the toe of an ascending slope shall have a maximum exposed height of six feet. ****The maximum permissible exposed height for retaining walls located at the edge of the buildable pad on a descending . slope is four feet. Site and Grading Configuration: The property is an irregular, pie shaped lot. On a pie - shaped lot, where the side lot lines converge to a point, a line five feet long within the parcel, parallel to and at a maximum distance from the front lot line, shall be deemed to be the rear lot line for the purpose of determining the depth of the required rear yard. There is a descending slope at north side of the property where the 32 -foot Southern California Gas Company easement is located and an ascending slope at the east side of the property. The applicant is proposing to cut 50 cubic yards of soil towards the east side of the property and fill 50 cubic yards of soil towards the rear of the property; therefore, the site will be balanced and no soil will be imported or exported from the site. The site is located on an existing graded pad that will be modified to create a 20 -foot pad to serve as a backyard. A series of two tiered retaining walls with a maximum height of four feet will be constructed to accommodate the additional pad area in the rear yard. In addition, the applicant is proposing to continue an existing five-foot high wall, along an ascending slope, to widen backyard. Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. PL 2014-574 Page 6 of 9 Architectural Features, Colors, and Materials: The architecture of the existing residence is a 1980s tract design with decorative half-timbering, stucco, brick veneer, and a hipped roof with flat concrete tiles. The proposed design will maintain architectural integrity by incorporating similar fenestration patterns, and matching exterior colors and building materials. The applicant is proposing to replace the half-timbering from the fagade of the house with stucco to match the existing building. The roof of the proposed addition will be integrated with the existing roof by matching the existing 4:12 pitch. Landscaping: Landscape plans are not required because the site is already developed, and because the project is exempt from the City's Water Conservation Landscaping Ordinance. The ordinance would only apply if 5,000 square feet or more of the existing landscaped area was being altered. However, landscaping that is damaged during construction will need to be restored upon project completion. This requirement is included as a condition of approval. Minor Conditional Use Permit (DBMC Chapter 22.56) An IVICUP 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. Current development standards require a minimum setback of 20 feet from the front property line. The existing residence has a nonconforming front setback of 15 feet. The front and rear portion of the addition complies with all development standards and the front portion of proposed addition will not encroach into the nonconforming front setback. The City recognizes that homeowners should be allowed to make appropriate improvements to their properties, even if the existing improvements do not fully conform to current development standards. Therefore, the City has established the IVICUP process for such additions, subject to the findings set forth in the Development Code. IVICUPs 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. Staff believes that approving the IVICUP 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 1987, prior to the incorporation of the City of Diamond Bar; The proposed addition is located 20 feet from the front property line, therefore, will not encroach into the existing nonconforming front setback of 15 feet; and Neighboring properties have nonconforming setbacks, so the proposed project will remain consistent with other homes within the neighborhood. Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. PL 2014-574 Page 7 of 9 Compliance with Hillside Management Ordinance (DBI IC Section 22.22) The proposed project was reviewed for compliance with the City's Hillside Management Design Guidelines and regulations. DBMC Section 22.22.120 (a)(1) establishes a height limit of 35 feet as measured from the finished grade to the highest point of the roofline. The proposed building will be 23'-9" feet at the highest point. 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. The project site was designed with: All proposed retaining walls associated with the building pad are at a maximum exposed height of four feet where there is a descending slope and six feet where there is an ascending slope; ® Split pads are used to step up the natural slope; Earth tone building materials and color schemes are used that blend in with the natural landscape; and e The project is terraced on two pad levels. The project complies with all of the regulations and guidelines to ensure that development will complement the character and topography of hillside areas set forth in the Development Code. Compatibility with Neighborhood The proposed project complies with the goals and objectives as set forth in the adopted General Plan in terms of land use and density. The project is designed to be compatible with and enhance the character of the existing homes in the neighborhood. The massing of the building is softened by creating articulation of the front fagade by providing a balcony at the front of the house and by stepping back the second floor addition approximately a foot and a half from the garage on the first floor. Furthermore, the addition will match the existing home in color and building materials and will incorporate similar architectural features. Therefore, the addition will be visually integrated into the existing home and not negatively impact the look and character of the neighborhood. The project incorporates the principles of the City's Residential Design Guidelines as follows: The proposed addition will conform to all development standards, including, building height and setback, with the exception xception of an existing non -conforming setback, which is consistent with other homes in the neighborhood; A gradual transition between the project and adjacent uses is achieved through appropriate setbacks, building height, landscaping, and window and door placement; Roof lines are representative of the design and scale of the structure through vertical and horizontal articulations; Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. PL 2014-574 Page 8 of 9 The addition is visually integrated with the primary structure, by utilizing similar colors and materials to match the existing building; and ® Large wall expanses without windows or doors are avoided. Additional Review The Public Works Department and Building and Safety Division reviewed this project, and their comments, are included in the attached resolution as conditions of approval. On February 12, 2015, public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within a 1,000 -foot radius of the project site. On February 13, 2015, the notice was published in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune and Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspapers. A notice display board was posted at the site, and a copy of the notice was posted at the City's three designated community posting sites. Public Comments Received No comments have been received as of the publication date of this report. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: This project has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Based on that assessment, the City has determined the project to be Categorically Exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to the provisions of Article 19 Section 15301(e) (additions to existing structures) of the CEQA Guidelines. No further environmental review is required. Prepared by: Nata(ie)T. Einoza Assistant Planner Attachments: Reviewed by: M, 4 W i1w VMS �W' Senior Planner 1.

The following approvals are requested from the Planning Commission: (a) Development Review to construct two-story addition consisting of 1,017 square feet of floor area at the front and rear of the house and 107 square feet of balcony area. (b) Minor Conditional Use Permit to allow a second -story addition to an existing nonconforming structure with a front setback of 15 feet (where 20 feet is required.) Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit shall be referred to as the "Proposed Project." 3. The subject property is made up of one parcel totaling 16,700 gross square feet (0.38 gross acres). It is located in the Low Density Residential (RL) zone with an underlying General Plan land use designation of Low Density Residential. 4. The legal description of the subject property is Lot 44 of Tract 33645. The Assessor's Parcel Number is 8763-018-032. 5. On February 12, 2015, public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within 'a 1,000 -foot radius of the Project site.

On February 24, 2015, 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. NOW, THEREFORE, it is found, determined and resolved by the Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar as follows: The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct; and 2. The Planning Commission hereby determines the Project to be Categorically Exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the provisions of Article 19, Section 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 Municipal Code (DBMC) Sections 22.48, 22.56, and 22.68, this Planning Commission hereby finds as follows: Development Review Findings (DBMC Section 22.48.040) The design and layout of the proposed development is consistent with the applicable elements of the City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines, and development standards of the applicable district, design guidelines, and architectural criteria for special areas (e.g., theme areas, specific plans, community plans, boulevards or planned developments). The design and layout of the proposed two-story addition consisting of 1,017 square feet of floor area and 107 square feet of balcony area to the existing single family residence is consistent with the City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines and development standards by meeting all required setbacks except the front setback due to an existing nonconforming front setback of 2 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2015 -XX 15 feet where 20 feet is required. The addition is proposed at the front and rear of the residence. The proposed addition complies with the front setback requirement and does not encroach into the nonconforming front setback. The project is designed to blend into the existing house by using the same architectural elements and building materials as the existing residence. The project site is not part of any theme area, specific plan, community plan, boulevard or planned development. 2. The design and layout of the proposed development will not interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future developments, and will not create traffic or pedestrian hazards. The proposed 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. In addition, no protected trees exist on site. 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 is a continuation of an existing use. 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 project is designed to be compatible with and enhance the character of the existing homes in the neighborhood. The massing of the building is softened by creating articulation of the front fagade by providing a balcony at the front of the house and by stepping back the second floor addition approximately a foot and a half from the garage on the first floor. Furthermore, the addition will match the existing home in color and building materials and will incorporate similar architectural features. Therefore, the addition will be visually integrated into the existing home and not negatively impact the look and character of the neighborhood. 4. The design of the proposed development will provide a desirable environment for its occupants and visiting public as well as its neighbors through good aesthetic use of materials, texture, color, and will remain aesthetically appealing. The design of the existing single-family home is 1980s tract home. The architecture of the existing residence is a 1980s tract design with decorative half-timbering, stucco, brick veneer, and a hipped roof with flat concrete tiles. 3 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2015 -XX The proposed design will maintain architectural integrity by incorporating similar fenestration patterns, and matching exterior colors and building materials. The applicant is proposing to replace the half-timbering from the fagade of the house with stucco to match the existing building. The roof of the proposed addition will be integrated with the existing roof by matching the existing 4:12 pitch. Consistent building elements have been achieved through the utilization of similar architectural features and building materials. 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 (DBMC Section 22.56.040) 1. The proposed use is allowed within the subject zoning district with the approval of a Minor Conditional Use Permit and complies with all other applicable provisions of this Development Code and the Municipal Code. The existing single-family dwelling is a permitted use in the RL zone. A Minor Conditional Use Permit (MCUP) is requested to allow a second -story addition to an existing nonconforming structure with a front setback of 15 feet (where 20 feet is required). The substandard distance from the structure to the front property line renders the project nonconforming. The addition of a nonconforming structure requires approval of a Minor Conditional Use Permit because the addition is greater than 50 percent of the existing home and is not limited to the ground floor. The proposed addition consisting of 1, 017 square feet of floor area and 107 square feet of balcony area to an existing two-story home complies with the development standards of the RL zone and will not encroach into the nonconforming front setback. 4 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2016 -XX 2 3. The proposed use is consistent with the general plan and any applicable specific plan. The proposed addition to a single-family dwelling unit is consistent with the City's adopted General Plan. The site is not subject to the provisions of any specific plan. The design, location, size and operating characteristics of the proposed use are compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity. The existing single-family dwelling and the proposed addition consisting of 1,017 square feet of floor area and 107 square feet of balcony area will not encroach into the existing nonconforming front setback of 15 feet to the front property line. The proposed project is located at the front and rear of the home. The design of the existing single-family dwelling and the proposed addition are compatible with the character of the existing homes in the neighborhood because neighboring properties have nonconforming setbacks. 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 of floor area is consistent with the development standards for the RL zone and will not 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 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2015 -XX Non -Conforming Structures Findings (D13MC 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 two-story addition of floor area is consistent with the development standards for the RL zone and will not encroach into the existing nonconforming front setback by locating the addition 20 feet from the front property line. The existing and proposed use of land is consistent with the surrounding land uses and structures in the neighborhood. Neighboring properties also have nonconforming 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 use of land is consistent with the surrounding land uses with similar front setbacks to non -conforming structures. The proposed two-story addition of floor area is consistent with the development standards for the RL zone and will not further encroach into the existing nonconforming front setback by locating the addition 20 feet from the front property line. 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. 6 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2015 -XX 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.
