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 single -story addition consisting of
1,171 square feet of floor area and 166 square -foot patio cover to the existing
one-story single-family residence is consistent with the City's General Plan, City
Design Guidelines and development standards with the exception to an existing
nonconforming south side setback of 6'4', where 10 feet is required, and
nonconforming distances of 10 feet to the structure on the adjacent property to
2
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2015-10
the north and 13 feet to the structure on the adjacent lot to the south (15 feet
between structures is required). The addition is proposed at the rear of the
residence. The addition will not further encroach into the existing nonconforming
south side setback and distances to the structures on the adjacent lots. 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 the character of the existing homes
in the neighborhood. The addition is located at the rear of the house.
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 architecture of the existing residence is a 1960s ranch style tract with
decorative vertical wood siding, stucco, brick veneer, and a gabled roof with
shingles. 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 wood siding from
the facade of the house with stucco to match the existing building and reduce the
3
Planning commission Resolution No. 2015-10
size of existing window adjacent to the front door. The roof of the proposed
addition will be integrated with the existing roof by matching the existing
6:12 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)
The proposed use is allowed within the subject zoning district with the approval
of a Minor Conditional Use Permit and complies with all other applicable
provisions of this Development Code and the Municipal Code.
The existing single-family dwelling is a permitted use in the RLM zone. A Minor
Conditional Use Permit (MCUP) is requested to allow an addition over 50 percent
of the existing square -footage to an existing nonconforming structure with side
backs of 5 feet to the north and 6'-9" to the south (where 10 feet is required) and
distances to the structures on the adjacent lots of 10 feet to the north and 13 feet
to the structure to the south (15 feet between structures is required).
The substandard distance from the structure to the south side property line and
substandard distances to the structures on the adjacent lots to the north and
south renders the project nonconforming. The addition of a nonconforming
structure requires approval of a Minor Conditional Use Permit because the
addition is over 50 percent of the existing square -footage. The proposed addition
consisting of 1,1 71 square feet of floor area to the existing one-story home and
966 square -foot patio cover does not further encroach into the nonconforming
setbacks and complies with all other development standards of the RLM zone.
4
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2015-10
2. The proposed use is consistent with the general plan and any applicable specific
plan.
The proposed addition to a single-family dwelling unit is consistent with the City's
adopted General Plan. The site is not subject to the provisions of any specific
plan.
3. The design, location, size and operating characteristics of the proposed use are
compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity.
The existing single-family dwelling and the proposed addition consisting of
1,171 square feet of floor area and 166 square -foot patio cover will maintain the
existing nonconforming south side setback of 6'9" and nonconforming distances
to the structures on the adjacent lots of 10 feet to the north and 13 feet to the
structure to the south. 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 densitylintensity 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 RLM zone and will not
encroach into the existing nonconforming south side setback and nonconforming
distances to the structures on the adjacent lots to the north and south.
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.

Planning Commission Resolution No. 2015-10
Non -Conforming Structures Findings (Dl3MC Section 22.68.030)
The addition, enlargement, extension, reconstruction, relocation or structural alteration of the
nonconforming structure would not result in the structure becoming:
Incompatible with other structures in the neighborhood.
The proposed addition of floor area is consistent with the development standards
for the RLM zone. The existing single-family dwelling and the proposed single -
story addition consisting of 1,171 square feet of floor area and 166 square -foot
patio cover will maintain the existing nonconforming south side setback of 6'-9"
and nonconforming distances to the structures on the adjacent lots of 10 feet to
the north and 13 feet to the structure to the south. 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 eventua[Ifuture 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 side setbacks to nonconforming structures and nonconforming
distances to structures on adjacent lots. The proposed addition of floor area is
consistent with the development standards for the RLM zone and will not
encroach into the existing nonconforming south side setback and nonconforming
distances to the structures on the adjacent lots to the north and south..
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.
