PROJECT ADDRESS: PROPERTY OWNER/ APPLICANT: 21324 Pathfinder Road Diamond Bar, CA 91765 Mohamad R. Salimnia 500 Topside Place Diamond Bar, CA 91765 AP/Espino presented staffs report and recommended Planning Commission approval of Conditional Use Permit and Development Review No. PL2014-515, based on the Findings of Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed within the resolution. VC/Lin opened the public hearing. Nasser Moghadam, 44052 Galicia Drive, Hemet, architect for the project, said he was present to respond to questions and concerns. VC/Lin said he visited the site and said it was interesting that the ordinance allows commercial properties to be built at the property line and based on the drawings it appears to him that the 16 foot wide carwash would encroach slightly outside of the property line. VC/Lin asked if commercial development is allowed to abut the property line and AP/Espino responded that it would be allowed where it does not abut the residential land. The south end of the property will contain a drive -aisle that will allow vehicles to exit from the carwash tunnel; the west end of the property is where the carwash is being built along the property line. PAGE 3 PLANNING COMMISSION VC/Lin asked if during construction there would be encroachment to the other side of the project property line and Mr. Moghadam responded no because the footing will be L-shaped under the tunnel. The wall will go straight down on or slightly before (about 3 inches) the property line. VC/Lin closed the public hearing. C/Pirritano moved, C/Mahlke seconded, to approve Conditional Use Permit and Development Review No. PL2014-515, based on the Findings of Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed within the resolution.

The subject property is zoned Low Medium Density Residential (RLM) with an underlying General Plan land use designation of Low Density Residential. PROJECT ADDRESS: 22831 Rio Lobos Road Diamond Bar, CA 91765 Araceli Martinez 22831 Rio Lobos Road Diamond Bar, CA 91765 AP/Espino presented staff's report and recommended Planning Commission approval of Development Review Amendment and Minor DECEMBER 9, 2014 PAGE 4 PLANNING COMMISSION Conditional Use Permit No. PI -2012-380, based on the Findings of Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed within the resolution. C/Mahlke asked why the project required designation of conversion of a bedroom to a study. AP/Espino responded that in this case there are interior walls that are being modified. Under the proposed plan there is an angled wall at the top which is part of the study and part of the walk- in closet for the master bedroom which is being modified during the conversion. So in this instance, movement of the wall changes the function of the room. VC/Lin opened the public hearing. George Martinez said the project was ready to move forward. VC/Lin closed the public hearing.

Several years ago there was an entitlement to develop a Panda Express on this pad and through a series of circumstances that project entitlement expired.

SP/Lee presented staff's report and recommended Planning Commission approval of Development Review, Conditional Use Permit and Amendment to the Comprehensive Sign Program No. PI -2014-343, based on the Findings of Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed within the resolution. VC/Lin asked if the new project would encroach into the fenced area and SP/Lee responded that the drive-thru area would be expanded. VC/Lin asked if the drive-thru would eliminate some of the parking spaces. SP/Lee said that the site was reconfigured to eliminate some of the landscape areas to provide for additional parking spaces. VC/Lin asked if there were other 14 -foot tall monument signs in the City to which SP/Lee responded that there are monument signs that are as tall or taller at the Gateway Corporate Center, HMart Center, Market World and others in the City. VC/Lin questioned staff for providing a site distance analysis since there is a traffic signal and there is no site distance issue and SP/Lee responded that staff understood that but as a matter of precaution the Public Works Department requested the analysis for vehicles turning right. VC/Lin opened the public hearing. Crystal Lee, Gary Wang and Associates, architects for the project, said she was available to respond to questions. El 0 PAGE 6 PLANNING COMMISSION VC/Lin asked Ms. Lee to respond to his question about parking for the project and its relationship to the unimproved lot behind the chain link fencing. Ms. Lee explained that the parking lot is developed to the point of the trash enclosure and all new development is beyond that area and five additional parking spaces have been included. The limit of the development is the heavy line surrounding the project as shown on the map. VC/Lin asked if there was a secure agreement with the three proposed tenants and an unidentified individual stated from the audience that the proposed tenants are ready to sign the negotiated leases. VC/Lin closed the public hearing. C/Pirritano moved, C/Mahlke seconded, to approve Development Review, Conditional Use Permit and Amendment to the Comprehensive Sign Program No. PI -2014-343, based on the Findings of Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed within the resolution.

Attest: Respectfully Submitted, Greg Gubman Community Development Director Jimmy Lin, Vice Chairman CITY OF DIAMOND BAR - 21810 COPLEY DRIVE - DIAMOND BAR, CA 91765 - TEL. (909) 839-7030 - FAX (909) 861-3117 DATE: January 27, 2015 TO: Chairman Farago and Members of the Planning Commission FROM Greg Gubman, AICP, Community Development Director. BY: Grace S. Lee, Senior Planner SUBJECT: General Plan Status Report for 2014 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, objectives, and strategies for implementation. The City of Diamond Bar has periodically amended the General Plan as needed since its adoption on July 25, 1995. 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 regional housing needs for the community. The attached report lists the City's progress toward the implementation of the General Plan for the period of January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2014, by meeting the City's share of regional housing needs pursuant to Government Code Section 65584 and by the City's effort to remove governmental constraints, which may influence the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing pursuant to State Law. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the report and forward it to the City Council to receive and file. Prepared by: Gr Lee Senior Planner Attachment: 2014 General Plan Status Report 2 Reviewed by: Greg Gubman, AICP Community Development Director General Plan Status Report 2014 Period beginning January 1, 2014, and ending December 31, 2014 On July. 25, 1995, the City Council adopted the City of Diamond Bar's General Plan, which is a State mandated document that the City uses to plan the framework for its future physical, social and economic development. The General Plan is considered a long-term document that projects development within a community for approximately 15 to 20 years. By projecting conditions and needs into the future, the General Plan establishes a basis for evaluating current policy and providing insight on future policy. The City of Diamond Bar General Plan consists of the following six elements: 1) Land Use 2) Housing 3) Resource Management 4) Public Health and Safety 5) Circulation 6) Public Service and Facilities The following information summarizes the status of the objectives that the City has implemented for each element of the General Plan in 2014. LAND USE ELEMENT Diamond Bar is for the most part a residential community. Detached single-family dwellings represent the majority of the City's housing stock; however, multi -family housing exists along Diamond Bar Boulevard, south of Grand Avenue and along Golden Springs Drive, west of Diamond Bar Boulevard. Since the adoption of the Land Use Element, development in Diamond Bar has occurred pursuant to the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan. Objective 1.2 — Preserve and maintain the quality of existing residential neighborhoods while offering a variety of housing opportunities, including mixed land uses. The City issued 46 construction permits for new single-family dwellings and 36 construction permits for additional livable square -footage to residential dwellings. This level of construction activity is an indicator of the continued desirability of Diamond Bar as a place to live, and its residents' desire to remain in their homes, neighborhoods and schools by adaptingtheir homes to meet the needs of their families. Moreover, as individual properties are improved and upgraded, the overall quality of the neighborhoods in which they are located also improves. CD: Staff Reports-PC/GP Status Report 2014 0 Lennar Homes is currently in the construction phase for the development of 182 for -sale dwelling units — consisting of 120 detached homes and 62 townhomes — on approximately 30 acres located at the southeast corner of Brea Canyon Road and Diamond Bar Boulevard. - Lennar is marketing the project under the name "Willow Heights." Of the 46 construction permits for new single-family dwellings mentioned above, 43 permits were issued to Lennar Homes for 27 detached homes and 16 townhomes. Objective 1.3 — Designate adequate land for retail and service commercial, professional services, and other revenue generating uses in sufficient quantity to meet the City's needs. ® The City approved a new fitness center (Crunch Fitness) in a 16,800 square -foot lease space located within the Diamond Bar Towne Center at 1132 S. Diamond Bar Blvd. and a certificate of occupancy was issued on October 3, 2014. ® The City approved an addition for an automated drive-thru car wash to an existing Extra Mile convenience store building located at the existing Chevron service station at 21324 Pathfinder Road. ® The City approved a new 4,894 square -foot commercial building to suit a Starbucks, T -Mobile and Waba Grill restaurant as tenants located within the Target shopping center at 22438 Golden Springs Drive. Submitted into plan check on January 2015. ® The City approved a two-story, 33,850 square -foot expansion to an existing 31,050 square -foot Kaiser Permanente medical office building at the corner of Bridgegate and Copley Drive, which is currently under construction. The expansion will accommodate new and expanded facilities for services including OB/GYN, pediatrics, optometry, and behavioral health. The estimated completion date is March 6, 2015. ® The Shell Station located on the northeast corner of Diamond Bar Blvd. and Palomino Dr. reopened after four years, and, construction is currently underway on the convenience store. The tenant improvement and completion of the car wash is planned in early 2015. ® The City adopted the "C-3-PD/Hotel Overlay" zoning district to promote and facilitate the orderly redevelopment of a prominent, freeway offramp-adjacent site, formerly occupied by an automobile dealership and drive-thru restaurant, in a manner consistent with the City Council's adopted Goals and Objectives, most notable the Fiscal Responsibility/Economic Development goal to "ffldentify specific development opportunities and develop Specific Plans to revitalize the K - Mart and Honda property areas in a way that provides the greatest net benefit to the community." Any land use plan formulated within the Overlay is required to include a hotel as the primary use. Secondary uses are limited to those already 2 CD: Staff Reports-PC/GP Status Report 2014 permitted. or conditionally permitted in the underlying C-3 district. Existing buildings within the Overlay may be occupied by uses permitted or conditionally permitted in the C-3 district, without a hotel as the primary use, provided that no existing building is enlarged, and no new buildings are established. The zone change. will provide the foundation for a land use strategy and new zoning regulations to guide the establishment of new uses that would support the goal of yielding the highest municipal returns, while generating sufficient private returns to be of interest to the private development community. The City is working with the property owner of the former Honda site to attract a hotel development. The City hired Kosmont Associates, an economic development consultant to work with the City and the property owner. The City approved plans for the tenant improvements, including ADA upgrades within the parking lot area of Diamond Bar Towne Center for a Walmart Neighborhood Market to occupy the former Ralphs site, which is scheduled to open in Spring of 2015. Diamond Bar Kmart located on the southeast corner of Diamond Bar Blvd. and Gentle Springs Lane closed its operations in December 2014. The landlord purchased the lease and is working on a plan to redevelop the site with a mixed use project. Objective 1.4 – Designate adequate land for educational, cultural, recreational, and public service activities to meet the needs of Diamond Bar residents. The Willow Heights project referenced above will include a 4.3 gross -acre neighborhood public park, called Diamond Canyon Park—which is under construction. The City continues to have a joint use agreement with Pomona Unified School District to use Lorbeer Middle School for their football/soccer and track fields. The City constructed the Grandview and Grandview Link trails adjacent to the Diamond Bar Center. The City is evaluating the entire Heritage Park site to determine how it can best meet the community's needs going forward, including upgrades to accommodate persons 'with disabilities: - Heritage Park is a 3.4 -acre neighborhood park and is one of the City's oldest parks. A neighborhood meeting was conducted to solicit input on the renovation of the park and community center, which also includes exploring the potential for expanding the floor space by adding storage space. Objective 2.1 – Promote land use patterns and intensities which are consistent with the Resource Management Element and Circulation Element. 3 CD: Staff Reports-PC/GP Status Report 2014 Strategy 2.1.2 — Ensure that new development utilizes feasible contemporary technologies to reduce energy and water consumption, generation of solid and hazardous wastes, and air and water pollutant emissions. In accordance with the Site D Specific Plan, Lennar's Willow Heights project is required to incorporate green building strategies and facilitate energy and water conservation. The Willow Heights project and the Kaiser Permanente medical office building expansion adopted and implemented Low Impact Development (LID) measures to reduce and potentially eliminate water pollutants in the storm drain system. Objective 3.1 — Create visual points of interest as a means of highlighting community identity. The Grand Avenue Beautification Project is a streetscape project that will incorporate the community identity through landscape and hardscape elements at the intersections of Grand Avenue/Diamond Bar Boulevard and Grand Avenue/Longview Drive. This project will incorporate a new entry monument at the easterly city limit along Grand Avenue at Longview Drive that will establish the standards for all future entry monuments at the City limits. The City Council is scheduled to approve the plans and specifications on February 3, 2015, and construction to commence in March of 2015. The Willow Heights project referenced above will incorporate community identity through an entry feature at the corner of Brea Canyon Road and Diamond Bar Boulevard to mark the entrance to the City. The development will also be required to incorporate street improvements that are in conformance with the final adopted Grand Avenue streetscape specifications along Diamond Bar Boulevard parkway and future neighborhood park frontage. HOUSING ELEMENT The Housing Element identifies and makes provisions for existing and future housing needs. Several programs continue to be implemented based on the strategies within the Housing Element as follows: The City adopted Diamond Bar's 2013-2021 Housing Element Update of the General Plan. The City of Diamond Bar is required by State law to update its Housing- Element very eight years. It is also the only Element of the General Plan that is subject to State certification through the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The City received certification of the 2013-2021 Housing Element cycle on January 9, 2014, and the City Council adopted the Housing Element on January 21, 2014. 4 CD: Staff Reports-PC/GP Status Report 2014 The City continues to implement a proactive Neighborhood Improvement/Code Enforcement program and direct eligible households to available rehabilitation assistance in order to correct code violations. The City continues to assist in the rehabilitation of existing housing stock through CDBG Home Improvement Program funds for home rehabilitation. The City continues to be a participating city in the first time homebuyer assistance program and Mortgage Credit Certificates available through Los Angeles County. RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ELEMENT Issues related to open space and conservation overlap in Diamond Bar. As a result, the City comb ' ined its Open Space Element and Conservation Element into one Resource Management Element. The Resource Management Element addresses open space, visual resources, biological resources, and parks and recreation. In addition, this element establishes strategies for effectively managing local and natural resources in order, to prevent waste, destruction, or neglect. Progress toward implementing strategies within the Resource Management Element has been made in the following areas: Objective 1.3 — Maintain a system of recreation facilities and open space preservation which meet the active and passive recreational needs of Diamond Bar residents of all ages. The City continues to work with Lewis Corporation to develop Larkstone Park as part of the 99 -unit South Pointe West development. The City is currently reviewing construction documents for park improvements at Diamond Canyon Park, a new 4.3 gross -acre public park at Willow Heights. Lennar Homes will construct the park and dedicate the park to the City. The City constructed the Grandview and Grandview Link trails adjacent to the Diamond Bar Center. Grants were used to fund these trails, which require the City to maintain the parcels containing the trails as open spac6 in perpetuity. Objective 2.1 — Minimize the consumption of water through combination of water conservation and use of reclaimed water. The Willow Heights project referenced above is conditioned to incorporate water conservation landscaping, water saving features within the * units, and use of reclaimed water in public landscaped areas when it,becomesavailable. The City implemented a 20% water reduction across parks and medians to comply with recent mandatory water cutbacks. 5 CD: Staff Reports-PC/GP Status Report 2014 Objective 2.5 — M - inimize the environmental impacts of landfill disposal of solid wastes through an aggressive public education and information campaign designed to promote a comprehensive program of source reduction, recycling, composting, and household hazardous waste reduction activities. The City implemented a revised Construction and Demolition permit process to better reach the 75% solid waste diversion goal mandated under the adoption of the Solid Waste Ordinance in 2011. The new diversion goal applies to all construction and demolition projects over 1,000 square feet, including both residential and commercial sectors. The City has been significantly reducing the tonnage of Green Waste utilized as Alternative Daily Cover (ADC). This year the City's residential and commercial waste . haulers had zero green waste reported as ADC. The Green Waste collected from residents and businesses is processed for composting materials and diverted from the landfills. The City's contracted residential and commercial waste haulers continue to offer comprehensive waste collection and curbside recycling services citywide. Curbside recycling services include collection of green waste, used oil, bulky items, and hypodermic needles. The City, in conjunction with Los Angeles County Public Works, provides a Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) event in the City once a year. The HHW event takes most forms of electronic and hazardous waste including paint, batteries, and other toxic materials that are recycled and do not enter the waste stream. The City conducts an annual birthday party celebration that includes a Going Green section where information on recycling is provided to residents. Representatives from the City's franchise waste haulers, Southern California Edison, Southern California Gas, Walnut Valley Water District are present to provide information on recycling and conservation. ® The City conducts an annual America Recycles Day event that includes e -waste collection for household electronic waste such as televisions and computer equipment, free mulch giveaway, textile recycling and paper shredding. ® The City website and public information outlets are routinely used to promote recycling and information on new laws such as AB 341 that require businesses and multi -family residential communities to meet new diversion requirements. A new component this year included the use of a monthly electronic Enviro-Link newsletter that covers a variety of 'environmental topics. A video production covering the topic of proper sorting techniques was prepared to promote public education in this area. 6 CD: Staff Reports-PC/GP Status Report 2014 The City partners with Ken's Ace Hardware for the collection and recycling of batteries of household batteries, fluorescent tubes and light bulbs. This location continues to serve as a successful and convenient drop-off location for Diamond Bar residents. The City implemented a new recycle bin program for schools and home-based businesses. . Eligible organizations receive up to ten bins to source separate recyclable beverage containers. The program is funded through the CalRecycle Beverage Container Recycling Grant Program. PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY ELEMENT The Public Health and Safety Element contains provisions that relate to the protection of life, health, and property from natural hazards and man-made hazards. It identifies areas where public and private decisions on land use need to be sensitive to hazardous conditions caused by slope instability, seismic activity, flood, fire, and wind. Objectives 1.1 and 1.2 — Minimize the potential for loss of life, physical injury, property damage from seismic ground shaking and other geologic hazards, and the public health hazards and nuisances from the effects of a 100 -year storm and associated flooding. The City continues to require site-specific geotechnical investigations and drainage studies which must be approved by the Director of Public Works/City Engineer prior to issuance of any grading permits in conjunction with the Uniform Building Code and as part of the standard conditions of approval that are applied to all new developments and redevelopment projects. The City continues to expand upon its emergency preparedness and response capabilities with the inclusion of a dedicated Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in City Hall. The dedicated EOC provides the City with added flexibility to coordinate and respond to emergencies, provide redundant communications to public safety agencies, and enable added communications to residents. City Hall also has a backup power generator to ensure critical systems are operational in the event of a prolonged emergency. The City's public safety agencies continue efforts to outreach to residents on safety, including earthquake, fire, and emergency preparedness topics. The City's public safety agencies work in coordination with the City's Public Information Division to communicate time sensitive information to residents through the City website, as well as the Neighborhood Watch Program. The City also initiated an Emergency Preparedness and Neighborhood Watch monthly newsletter that focuses on public safety and emergency preparedness related topics. Oil ill Ill I 7 CD: Staff Reports-PC/GP Status Report 2014 Objective 1.3 — Require that properties in and adjacent to wildland areas are reasonably protected from wildland fire hazards without degrading the viability of natural ecosystems, providing a balance between removal of flammable vegetation, introduction of fire resistant vegetation, and preservation of natural vegetation. The Los Angeles County Fire Department maintains a helicopter landing site (helipad) located adjacent to the Eastgate Drive Reservoir on a hilltop in the vicinity of Pantera Park. This helipad consists of two square concrete helicopter landing pads. It was first built in 2006 and upgraded in 2013, and has since been maintained on an annual basis. The helipad plays an important role in local and regional wild land fire detection and suppression operations by providing a safe landing site for aircraft to refuel and have their water tanks refilled. CIRCULATION ELEMENT The Circulation Element defines the transportation needs of the City and presents a comprehensive transportation plan to accommodate those needs. The focus of this element is the identification and evaluation of local circulation needs, balancing those needs with regional demands and mandates. Objective 1.1 — Participate in local and regional transportation related planning and decision-making. The City continues its collaboration with the City of Industry in the implementation of the 57/60 Confluence Project. This is a $256 million multi -phase improvement project to the existing 57/60 interchange. > Phase One of the project is the construction of a $12 million westbound on-ramp from Grand Avenue. it is fully funded, with a $7.5 million MTA grant and local match funding (expected construction to begin Summer 2015). > Phase Two is the construction of a $20 million westbound SR -60 off -ramp and an auxiliary lane to Grand Avenue. The project has been awarded a $10 million TIGER grant (In September 2014) and a $9.4 million MTA grant with local match funding (expected construction to begin early 2016). > Phase Three is the construction of $14' million street widening improvements in the vicinity of *Grand Ave./Golden Springs Dr. intersection. it is fully funded as well, with a $6.8 million grant from MTA and local match funding (expected construction to begin Mid -2016). > Phase Four is. the freeway mainline improvements and by-pass connectors and is 'estimated at $210 million. Working with Caltrans HQ, the SR 57/60 Confluence Project was include in the Projects of National and Regional Significance (PNRS) Program as required by MAP -21. In July 2014, the Federal Highway Administration confirmed that this project 8 CD: Staff Reports-PC/GP Status Report 2014 is in the PNRS. Furthermore, staff has secured recognition of sections of the SR -57 and SR -60 and the 57/60 Confluence Area as a component of the state and national freight networks in an effort to secure $210 million in future funding for Phase Four of this project. The Draft Environmental Impact Report for Phases Three and Four is currently being circulated for public review. The EIR for Phase One and Two has already been completed. The City continues to annually implement the guidelines of the Los Angeles County Congestion Management Program, which is required to maintain eligibility for regional transportation funding opportunities. The City has been active in monitoring the Multi -County Goods' Movement Action Plan to ensure the City is not negatively impacted by the strategy and implementation plan for the Southern California goods movement transportation system. The City has been very proactive in addressing the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) efforts to incorporate an East/West Truck Corridor between Interstate 710 and Interstate 15 into the Goods Movement Element of the 2012 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The City has collaborated with affected stakeholder agencies to voice concerns regarding the premature nature of declaring the San Jose Creek Flood Control Channel as the preferred solution for goods movement. The current San Jose Creek Flood Control Channel proposal has not been sufficiently studied and lacks critical analysis to ensure adjacent communities will not be negatively impacted. The 2012 RTP was adopted in April 2012, but the City went off record regarding the need to expand the study scope to include *other east -west corridors along the 10, 210, and 91 freeways. The City is advocating for transportation solutions that are equitable in their distribution of goods movement related traffic. The Lemon Avenue interchange project is expected to result in the closure of the SR -60 Brea Canyon Road eastbound access ramps and create on-ramp and off - ramps at Lemon Avenue. The benefit of the Lemon Avenue project will effectively reduce truck traffic on Golden Springs Drive because access to the City of Industry can be provided without traversing arterial roadways in Diamond Bar. The final design is anticipated to be completed by January 2015. The Freeway Agreement was executed in December 2010 and a Right -of -Way Cooperative Agreement was signed in September 2011. The right-of-way phase is currently underway with the State taking the lead on the necessary acquisition of land for the interchange improvements and is expected to be completed by January 2015. The Advertise, Award and Administer (AAA) Agreement was approved by Council in September 2014. Construction is expected to begin in Summer 2015 with a completion by December 2016. Objective 1.2 — Balance the need for optimum traffic flow on City Arterials within economic realities, environmental, and aesthetic considerations. 9 CD: Staff Reports-PC/GP Status Report 2014 Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras have been installed at key arterial intersections (16 locations) to, provide real time feedback for use in managing the signal system. Currently, the City has a total of 19 arterial intersections equipped with battery back-up systems to ensure temporary signal operations continue during power outages. Design for an additional 15 locations will be underway by the end of 2014. The City is developing design plans to enhance the streetscape at the Grand Avenue/Diamond Bar Blvd. intersection and Grand Avenue/Longview Drive intersection using SAFETEA-LU and STPL funds. This Grand Avenue Beautification Project will provide an opportunity to create street design standards for all future development to follow. Construction is expected to begin by March 2015 with completion in June 2015. As part of the 2013 Call for Projects, a Metro's competitive grant program, the City submitted an application and was awarded $1.4 million for the development and implementation of an adaptive traffic control system. Scheduled to start in FY 2015-2016, this system can adjust signal timing to optimize traffic flow based on real-time traffic conditions. Objective 1.3 — Maintain the integrity of residential neighborhoods. Discourage through traffic. In residential neighborhoods, the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP) continues to be an effective tool in providing a procedure to implement traffic calming devices in neighborhoods that experience speeding and cut - through traffic. This year, staff worked closely with a neighborhood in the vicinity of Castle Rock/Crooked Creek/Gold Run to implement traffic calming measures along the residential roadways. Neighborhoods have also benefited from a residential parking district that preserves residential street parking through a permit system in the areas around Diamond Bar High School. Objective 2.1 — Maximize the use of alternative transportation modes within and through the City to decrease reliance on single -passenger automobiles. The City continues to sell monthly Metro bus and rail passes in addition to Foothill Transit Zone passes. These programs are subsidized by Proposition "A" funds and provide a benefit to Diamond Bar residents because of the subsidized rates. The City's Dial -a . -Ride program provides discounted taxi services to residents over 60 years of age and disabled adults 18 years and older. The program is subsidized through the City's allocation of Proposition C funds and provides supplemental transportation options to residents for medical and other related service needs. CD: Staff Reports-PC/GP Status Report 2014 The City website continues to provide alternative transportation information to residents, including website links to Metro, Foothill Transit, Metrolink and Amtrak rail, and Ridernatching information. Objective 3.1 — Improve the safety and efficiency of existing transportation facilities. The Capital Improvement Program for 2014 lists specific projects that were approved, and the General Plan Conformity Report annually identifies projects completed in conformance with the General Plan. The following capital improvement projects including traffic signal modifications and street improvements were accomplished in 2014: 0 The City completed the Arterial Zone 1 and Residential Area 2 Road Maintenance Project. 0 The City completed the Median Modification at the Diamond Bar Blvd. and Kiowa Crest intersection. o The construction of traffic calming measures along residential roadways in the Castle Rock, Crooked Cre'ek/Gold Run neighborhood. 0 The following projects are scheduled to be complete by the end of 2014: ➢ Installation of 15 new Battery Back-up Systems (BBS) in traffic signal cabinets at intersections along major arterials in the City. PUBLIC SERVICE AND FACILITIES ELEMENT The Public Service and Facilities Element deals with the long-term provision of municipal services and facilities, and what types of facilities are needed to support those services. This element focuses on identifying City facilities and services needed to sustain the community's quality of life; long-range planning to fund City services and buildings; and coordinating and cooperating with various local agencies to provide those services not provided by the City. Objective 1.1: Maintain adequate infrastructure facilities and public services to support development and planned growth. The City continues to require new development to pay development fees for infrastructure facilities and/or provide the necessary infrastructure to support the new development. In addition, all new subdivisions are required to connect to the public sewage system. The Willow Heights project referenced above will be required to pay appropriate fair -share contributions toward the improvement of areawide street improvements CD: Staff Reports-PC/GP Status Report 2014 and the following traffic improvements will be implemented, which will be completed prior to the issuance of project certificates of occupancy: o Cherrydale Drive at Diamond Bar Boulevard: Provide an option left/through lane and a separate right -turn lane on the northbound approach; restripe southbound approach to provide an option left/through/right-turn lane on Cherrydale. Widen eastbound approach to provide a separate right -turn lane. Modify median and restripe Diamond Bar Boulevard to provide dual westbound left -turn lanes. Install traffic signal. o Brea Canyon Road at Diamond Bar Boulevard: Widen northbound approach on Brea Canyon Road to provide a second right -turn lane. Restripe eastbound approach and departure on Diamond Bar Blvd. to a third through lane. Restripe westbound approach on Diamond Bar Blvd. to provide a second left turn lane. Modify the existing traffic signal and associated equipment. The Kaiser Pe'rmanente medical office building expansion paid their fair share contributions toward the improvement of area wide street improvements. COMPREHENSIVE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE The City Council adopted a new special revenue fund in the FY 2014-15 budget to fund the comprehensive update of the City's General Plan. In the two decades following its initial adoption of the City's General Plan, nearly all of the General Plan's goals and objectives have been implemented. The City will be revisiting the guiding vision and policies expressed in Diamond Bar's General Plan and embark on a comprehensive General Plan Update program. This program would enable the City to proactively and opportunistically guide the City through another 20 -year cycle of growth and change. This project will take 24-36 months to complete. An initial allocation of $500,000—from the proceeds from the sale of Site D—was transferred into the fund to start the effort. CONCLUSION The General Plan continues to direct all land use decisions and remains an effective guide for future development. The City continues to pursue economic development to increase City revenue, address traffic related issues, and preserve open space and continues to create a community environment that nurtures social, cultural, religious, educational and recreational opportunities for its citizens. 12 CD: Staff Reports-PC/GP Status Report 2014 _W1 CITY OF DIAMOND BAR - 21810 COPLEY DRIVE - DIAMOND BAR, CA 91765 - TEL.

The architecture of the existing residence is a 1980s tract home. The applicant is proposing to retain the existing building form, but add stone veneer along the front elevation. Site and Surrounding General Plan, Zoning and Land Uses The following table describes the surrounding land uses located adjacent to the subject property: Igo Site Low Density Residential RL Single Family Residential North Low Density Residential RL Single -Family Residential South Low Density Residential RL Single -Family Residential East Low Density Residential RL Single -Family Residential West Low Density Residential RL Single -Family Residential Site Aerial Development Review No. PL 2014-553 Page 3 of 7 Panoramic Street View of Project Site (Note: the appearance of street curvature is caused by panoramic distortion; the project site is not on a corner) ANALYSIS Review Authority (DBMC Section 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 Review No. PL 2014-553 Page 4 of 7 Development Standards: The following table compares the proposed project with the City's development standards for residential development in the RL zone: ®- •° a •e• •e e e e - .. 20 feet 15'-3" 15'-3" (existing) No* 20' (addition) Yes • 10'-0" on one side and 12'-1" — west side 12'-1" — west side Yes ° ° ° 5'-0" on the other side 23'-9" — east side 23'-9" — east side • 15 feet 27'-1 "— west side 27'-1 "— west side Yes .. e 35'-10" — east side 35'-10" — east side - .. 20 feet 212'-8" 212'-8" Yes . • Maximum of 40% 11.3% 13.7% Yes ° 35 feet 25'-9" 25'-9" (existing) Yes 16'-5" (addition) • 2 -car garage 3 -car garage 3 -car garage Yes *-Minor Conditional Use Permit is not requested because the addition is less than 50 percent of the existing home and is limited to the ground floor. Site and Grading Configuration: The existing house is situated on a leveled pad. An ascending slope is located at the rear of the property, approximately 50 feet from the existing house. The first story addition will be added on an existing leveled pad at the front of the property. Therefore, there will be no grading on the site. Architectural Features, Colors, and Materials: The architecture of the existing residence is a 1980s tract design with wood siding, stucco, and a gable roof with flat concrete tiles. The proposed design will maintain architectural integrity by incorporating similar fenestration patterns. The applicant is proposing to replace the existing wood siding with stone veneer and stucco to match the existing building. The roof of the proposed addition at the front of the house will be integrated with the existing roof by matching the existing 6:12 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. 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 Development Review No. PL 2014-553 Page 5 of 7 enhance the character of the existing homes in the neighborhood. The massing of the proposed addition is softened because it is single story and set back four feet from the existing garage. Articulation of the front fa(;ade is created through the three-foot projection of the entry porch. 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: A gradual transition between the project and adjacent uses is achieved through appropriate setbacks, building height, landscaping, and window and door placement; ® Elevations are treated with detailed architectural elements; Roof lines are representative of the design and scale of the structure through vertical and horizontal articulations; Placement and relationship of windows, doors, and other window openings are carefully integrated with the building's overall design; The addition, is visually integrated with the primary structure, by utilizing similar colors and materials throughout the remodeled fagade and the proposed addition; and ® Large wall expanses without windows or doors are avoided.

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 developmentstandards 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 first floor addition consisting of 421 square feet of floor area and 30 square -foot porch 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. The addition is proposed at the front of the residence. Although the existing home has a nonconforming front setback, the proposed addition meets the required 20 -foot front setback. The proposed addition 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 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 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 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 architecture of the existing residence is a 1980s tract design with wood siding, stucco, and a gable roof with flat concrete tiles. The applicant is proposing to add to the first floor of an existing two-story home while maintaining consistency with the architectural form. The proposed design. will maintain architectural integrity by incorporating similar fenestration patterns, and matching exterior colors and building materials. In addition, the applicant is proposing to replace the wood siding at the front of the house with stone veneer and stucco to match the existing building. The roof of the proposed addition at the front of the house will be integrated with the existing roof by matching the existing 6:12 pitch. The project 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 design of the existing single-family home is 1980s tract home. Consistent building elements have been achieved through the utilization of similar architectural features and building materials. The applicant is proposing roposing a single story addition at the front of the house, set back four feet from the face of the existing garage and is proposing a porch that project three feet from the addition which creates articulation, and therefore softens the massing of the building. Furthermore, the addition will match the existing home in color and building materials and will incorporate similar 3 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2015 -XX architectural features. 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 al/ 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.

A Minor Conditional Use Permit is requested to allow a multi-level addition to an existing nonconforming structure. Adopt the attached Resolution (Attachment 1) approving Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. PL2014-425, based on the findings of Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Sections 22.48 and 22.56, subject to conditions. �6 1KI The project site is located in the Diamond Bar Country Estates (The Country), on the west side of Lazy Trail Road, at the intersection of Feather Rock Road. The property was developed in 1987 with a 4,035 square -foot, two-story home and an attached 618 square -foot three -car garage. The prope I rty is legally described as Lot 153 of Tract No. 30091, and the Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) is 8713-029-009. Project Description The proposed addition to the single-family house consists. of the following site plan and architectural components: Site Plan The property's gross lot area is 48,787 square feet (1.12 acres), and includes a 29 -foot wide private street easement for Lazy Trail Road along its frontage. The property's net buildable area (i.e., minus the private street easement) is 44,867 square feet (1.03 acres). The house is situated toward the front of the lot, a minimum of 20'-8" from the edge of the street easement line. The existing circular driveway will be eliminated and an enhanced landscape area is proposed at the front yard to create an overall site design that blends in with the neighboring homes and the natural environment to the site. A maximum 3'-6" high retaining wall is proposed at the rear portion of the new landscape area at the front of the house and will be screened with Indian Hawthorn evergreen shrubs. A condition of approval will be added to the resolution for plans to show that all exposed portions of the retaining wall will be finished with a smooth trowel plaster application or decorative stone veneer to match the proposed exterior wall finish of the house. The existing residence has a nonconforming front setback of 20'-8" (where 30 feet is required). By definition, the residence is considered a "nonconforming structure" (DBMC Section 22.68.030). 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. Architecture The proposed remodel and addition to the two-story house consists of the following components: a A new 1,550 square -foot upper level consisting of a game room and home theater area; A 511 square -foot addition to the middle (street) level consisting of an expansion of the existing kitchen and dining areas; A 535 square -foot addition to the lower level consisting of an expansion of the den/exercise room; and ® 1,269 square feet of balcony areas. Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. PL 2014-425 Page 2 of 9 The multi-level home is accessed by an internal staircase at the front of the house and a new internal staircase at the rear of the house. The maximum height of the building is 35', measured from the finished grade to the highest point of the roofline. The architectural style of the home is thematic of Modern French Classism with an asymmetrical design characterized by prominent massing, vertical lines, mansard roof, and French window shutters. The exterior materials consist of a slate the roof, smooth trowel plaster finish exterior walls, and aluminum clad door and window framing throughout the fenestration pattern. The applicant is in the process of obtaining approval from The Diamond Bar Country Estates Association.

The analysis that follows provides the basis for staffs recommendation to approve the DR and MCUP applications. Additions to structures that substantially change the appearance of an existing residence or are equal to or more than 50 percent of the existing habitable floor area of all existing , structures requires 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 Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. PL 2014-425 Page 5 of 9 Development Standards: The following table compares the proposed project with the City's development standards for residential development in the RR zone: greater than 50 percent of the existing home and is not limited to the ground floor. See MCUP discussion on page 8. Site and Grading Configuration: The project site is located on an irregular shaped property with a descending 40 percent average slope to the rear property line. The applicant is proposing to cut 30 cubic yards of soil and fill 30 cubic yards of soil to create a level and enhanced landscape area at the front of the property. The proposed upper level addition is concentrated above the existing footprint of the house and the new balcony areas will require minimal grading for excavation of the footings and foundation system. Therefore, no soil will be imported or exported from the site. Architectural Features, Colors, and Materials: The architectural style is Modern French Classicism. The applicant designed the project to have a variety of architectural elements to reflect the architectural style, including the following design features: ® Mansard style roof with flat slate roof tiles; ® Smooth trowel finish plaster exterior walls; ® Aluminum clad door and window framing throughout the fenestration pattern; ® Recessed panels above windows; and ® Natural colors used to highlight architectural details and integrate with the landscape. Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. PL 2014-425 Page 6 of 9 The applicant is proposing to use a variety of colors and materials to create character and articulation. The scale and proportions of the proposed home are well balanced and appropriate for the site. Landscaping: Landscaping is used to soften the look of the paved surfaces, enhance -the architecture, and create an overall site design that blends in with neighboring homes and the natural environment of the site. The front yard will be modified to remove the existing circular driveway and enhance the landscape and hardscape features visible from the street. The walkway to the front entrance will incorporate brick pavers with concrete ribbons. The front yard will also include water features consisting of a fountain, bird bath, and pond. In addition, the portion of the retained concrete driveway will be treated a sand blast finish. Landscape features include four Queen Palm trees, Indian Hawthorn and Japanese Privet shrubs. The site contains existing vegetation and trees at the rear of the house on the descending slope. Existing tree species consist of Blue Gum Eucalyptus and Aleppo Pine trees. There are no protected trees on the property. The project is required to comply with the City's Water Conservation Landscaping Ordinance and will be verified during building plan check. Z I ZI T [W64 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 30 feet from the front property line and a minimum setback of 25 feet from the rear. The existing residence has a nonconforming front setback of 20 feet, 8 inches and a zero -foot rear setback. The proposed addition will not further encroach into the existing nonconforming front and rear setbacks. 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 IVICUP 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 will not further encroach into the existing nonconforming front setback of 20 feet, 8 inches and will maintain the existing zero -foot rear setback; and Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. PL 2014-425 Page 7 of 9 ® Neighboring properties have nonconforming setbacks, so the proposed project will remain consistent with other homes within the neighborhood. 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. The project site was designed with: The proposed retaining wall associated with the expanded landscape pad at the front yard is at a maximum exposed height of three feet, six inches; and ® Earth tone building materials and color schemes are used that blend in with the natural landscape; The project complies with all of the regulations and guidelines to ensure that development will complement the character and topography of hillside areas set forth in the Development Code. Compatibility with Neighborhood The proposed project complies with the goals and objectives as set forth in the adopted General Flan 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 addition will not be intrusive to neighboring homes and respects existing views since the new floor area will not project beyond existing building lines. The project incorporates the principles of the City's Residential Design Guidelines as follows: The proposed remodel and addition will conform to all development standards, including building height and setbacks, with the exception of existing non -conforming setbacks, which is consistent with other homes in The Country Estates; A gradual transition between the project and adjacent uses is achieved through appropriate setbacks, building height, landscaping, and window and door placement; The proposed remodel and addition is appropriate in mass and scale to the site and elevations are treated with detailed architectural elements; Roof lines are representative of the design and scale of the structure through vertical and horizontal articulations; a The exterior finish materials and colors blend with the natural environment; ® Landscaping is used to emphasize and highlight focal points such as gardens, patios and walkways; and Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. PL 2014-425 Page 8 of 9 Landscaping is used to soften building lines and blend a structure with its environment, creating a transition between the hard vertical edges of the structure and the softer horizontal lines of the site. 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 January 15, 2015, public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within a 1,000 -foot radius of the project site. On January 16, 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. No comments have been received as of the publication date of this report. 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)(2) (additions to existing structures not resulting in an increase of more than 10,000 square feet) of the CEQA Guidelines. No further environmental review is required. Prepared by: Reviewed by: Jdi'u6\Esk`ino AssistIt Planner Senior Planner Attachments: 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)(2) (additions to existing structures not resulting in an ,increase of more than 10,000 square feet) 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) 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 addition to the existing single family residence is consistent with the City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines and development standards by complying with all of the setbacks and requirements of the City's development code, except the front and rear setbacks due to an existing nonconforming front setback of 20 feet, 8 inches (where 30 feet is required) and rear setback of zero feet (where 25 feet is required). The proposed addition does not further encroach into the existing legal 2 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2015 -XX non -conforming front and rear setbacks and is designed to blend into the existing house. 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 remodel and addition to the existing single-family home is designed to be compatible with the character of the eclectic neighborhoods in The Country Estates. The architectural style of the home is thematic of Modem -French Classism with an asymmetrical design characterized by prominent massing, vertical lines, mansard roof, and French window shutters. The project is designed to be compatible and complementary to the neighborhood by keeping similar architectural details prevalent in the community, such as an enhanced entry supported by vertical columns, and slate the roof material. Also, a smooth trowel plaster finish will be applied to the exterior walls, and aluminum clad door and window framing is used throughout the fenestration pattern. There is no specific plan for this area. 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 reminiscent of Modem French Classism influences. Consistent building elements have been achieved through the utilization of similar architectural features and building materials. The addition will not be intrusive to neighboring homes and will not block existing views since 3 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2015 -XX the new floor area will not project beyond existing building lines. The addition will be compatible to the existing development and remain aesthetically appealing. 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)(2) (additions to existing structures not resulting in an increase of more than 10,000 square feet) of the CEQA guidelines. Minor Conditional Use Permit Findings (DBMC Section 22.56.040) 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 RR zone. A Minor Conditional Use Permit (MCUP) is requested to allow a three-story addition to an existing nonconforming structure with a front setback of 20'-8" (where 30 feet is required) and a rear setback of zero feet (where 25 feet is required). The substandard distance from the structure to the front property line and,the rear setback distance 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 2,596 square feet of floor area to an existing two-story home complies with the development standards of the RR zone and will not further encroach into the nonconforming front or rear setbacks. 2. The proposed use is consistent with the general plan and any applicable specific plan. 4 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2015 -XX The proposed addition to a single-family dwelling unit is consistent with the City's adopted General Plan. The site is not subject to the provisions of any specific plan. 3. The design, location, size and operating characteristics of the proposed use are compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity. The existing single-family dwelling and the proposed addition consisting of 2,596 square feet of floor area and 1,269 square feet of balcony area will not further encroach into the existing nonconforming front setback of 20'-8" to the front property line and rear setback of zero feet, measured from the top of a descending slope. The proposed upper level addition is concentrated above the existing footprint of the house and the new balcony areas are located on the south side of the house. The design of the remodel and 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 remodel and proposed addition to the single-family residential dwelling. The existing and proposed use of land is consistent with the surrounding land uses. The proposed addition of floor area is consistent with the development standards for the RR zone and will not further encroach into the existing nonconforming front and rear setback distances. 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)(2) (additions to existing structures not resulting in an increase of more than 10,000 square feet) 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 multi-level addition of floor area is consistent with the development standards for the RR zone and will not further encroach into the existing nonconforming front and rear setbacks by maintaining the 20 -foot, 8 -inch setback distance from the front property line and zero -foot setback at the rear. 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 and rear setbacks to non -conforming structures. The proposed three-story addition of floor area is consistent with the development standards for the RR zone and will not further encroach into the existing nonconforming front or rear setback by maintaining the 20 -foot, 8 -inch setback distance from the front property line and zero -foot setback at the rear. 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 remodel and 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. 6 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2015 -XX Based upon the findings and, conclusion set forth above, the Planning Commission hereby approves this Application, subject to the following conditions: 1 Development shall substantially comply with the plans and documents presented to the Planning Commission at the public hearing. 2. All exposed portions of retaining walls shall be finished with a smooth trowel plaster application or decorative stone veneer to match the proposed exterior wall finish of the house. 3.
