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 15303 (a) (new construction of a single-family residence) 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, 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 theproposed single-family residence consisting of
10, 724 square feet of floor area; 3,125 square -foot garage area, and
1,128 square feet of porch/balcony/deck4oggia areas is consistent with the
City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines and development standards by
complying with all required setbacks and building height. A gradual
transition between the project and adjacent uses is achieved through
appropriate setbacks, building height, landscaping, and window and door
placement.
The proposed new single-family residence incorporates various details and
architectural elements such as clay roof tiles on predominantly hip and
valley roof pitches; smooth trowel stucco exterior wall finish with aluminum
clad window framing throughout .the fenestration pattern; and appropriate
massing and proportion to meet the intent of the City's Design Guidelines.
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 single-family house 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 single-family house will not interfere with vehicular or
pedestrian movements, such as access or other functional requirements of
2 Planning Commission Resolution No, 2015-19
a single-family home because it complies with the requirements for
driveway widths and exceeds the minimum number of required off-street
parking spaces.
3. The architectural design of the proposed development is compatible with
the character of the surrounding neighborhood and will maintain and
enhance the harmonious, orderly and attractive development contemplated
by Chapter 22.48: Development Review Standards, the City's Design
Guidelines, the City's General Plan, or any applicable specific plan,
The new single-family home is designed to be compatible with the character
of the eclectic neighborhoods in The Country Estates. It is designed in an
ltalianate (Palladian architecture emphasizing symmetry and classical form)
style of architecture with earth -tone shades for the exterior finish to soften
the building's visual impact and assist in preserving the hillside's aesthetic
value.
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 new single-family home is reminiscent of ltalianate
(Palladian architecture emphasizing symmetry and classical form)
influences. Consistent building elements have been achieved through the
utilization of similar architectural features and building materials. The new
home will not be intrusive to neighboring homes and will be aesthetically
appealing by integrating a variety of materials, such as clay roof tile, smooth
trowel stucco exterior wall finish with. aluminum clad window framing
throughout the fenestration pattern. Earth -tone shades for the exterior finish
are used to soften the building's visual impact and assist in preserving the
hillside's aesthetic value. Also, landscaping is integrated into the site to
complement the massing of the house and blend in with neighboring homes
and the natural environment of the site in order to maintain a desirable
environment.
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; and
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.
3 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2015-19
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
Califomia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as set forth under Article 19
Section 15303 (a) (new construction of a single-family residence) of the
CEQA Guidelines.
