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 and 22.56, 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 second -story addition consisting of
1,183 square feet and fagade remodel 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, with the
exception of an existing nonconforming side setback of five feet to the north
2
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2014-17
side property line on the first floor, and distance to the structure on the
adjoining lot to the north.
The second -story addition is proposed to be located above the existing first
floor—set back 20 feet from the existing garage at the front of the house
and five feet from the first floor on the north side of the house—which will
reduce the overall mass and scale of the building as seen from the street.
The proposed addition complies with the setback requirement and does not
further encroach into the existing side setback. The proposed
Mediterranean design will be consistent throughout the exterior elevations
and enhance architectural elements and exterior. finish materials of 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 and .facade remodel 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 existing California Ranch style house was constructed as part of a
1970s tract development. The applicant is proposing to add a second -story
and fagade remodel to an existing one-story home with a new
Mediterranean design style of architecture. The proposed design will
maintain architectural integrity by incorporating complementary fenestration
patterns, and the hipped roof will have a 5:12 pitch, compatible with the
mass and scale of the home. The project is designed to be compatible and
complementary to the neighborhood.
3
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2014-17
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 1970s tract home with a
California ranch design featuring composite shingle roof, horizontal wood
siding, and a stone veneer wall on the side of the garage, facing the street.
The applicant is proposing to modify the exterior design of the home to a
Mediterranean style of architecture, featuring a terracotta the roof, textured
stucco walls, a two -foot high cultured stone base along the front and sides
of the house and garage. The proposed improvements will maintain
architectural integrity of the new design style by incorporating fenestration
patterns, exterior colors and building materials prevalent with the
Mediterranean style of architecture. Therefore, the addition will be visually
integrated into the existing home and not negatively impact the look and
character of the neighborhood.
5. The proposed development will not be detrimental to public health, safety
or welfare or materially injurious (e.g., negative effect on property values or
resale(s) of property) to the properties or improvements in the vicinity.
Before the issuance of any City permits, the proposed project is required to
comply with all conditions within the approved resolution, and the Building
and Safety Division and Public Works Departments requirements.
Through the permit and inspection process, the referenced agencies will
ensure that the proposed project is not detrimental to the public health,
safety or welfare or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in
the vicinity.
6. The proposed project has been reuiewed 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.
4
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2014-17
The existing single-family dwelling is a permitted use in the RLM zone. A
Minor. Conditional Use Permit (MCUP) is requested to allow a second story
addition to an existing building with a nonconforming distance of 10 feet to
the structure on the adjacent lot to the north (a building separation of 15 feet
is required), and a side setback of five feet to the north side property line (a
side setback of 10 feet is required).
The substandard distance to structures on the adjacent lot to the north and
the side setback to the north side property line renders the project
nonconforming. The addition to a nonconforming structure requires
approval of a Minor Conditional Use Permit because the addition is greater
than 50 percent of the existing square -footage of alt structures on site and
is not limited to the ground floor. The proposed addition consisting of 1,183
square feet of floor area and 222 square feet of porch/balcony area to an
existing single -story home complies with the development standards of the
RLM zone and will not encroach into the nonconforming distance to
structures on the adjacent lot to the north and side setback to the north side
property line.
2. The proposed use is consistent with the general plan and any applicable
specific plan.
The proposed addition to a single-family dwelling unk is consistent with the
City's adopted General Plan. The site isnot 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
1,183 square feet of floor area and 222 square feet of porch/balcony area
will not further encroach into the existing nonconforming distance of 10' 0"
to the structure on the adjacent lot to the north, and a side setback of 5'-0"
to the north side property line. The second -story addition is proposed to be
located above the existing first floor—set back from the existing garage at
the front of the house and from the first floor on the north side of the house—
which will reduce the overall mass and scale of the building as seen from
the street. The proposed project is consistent with the surrounding
neighborhood. The design of the existing single-family dwelling and the
proposed addition are compatible with the character of the existing homes
in the neighborhood.
4. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and density/intensity of
use being proposed including access, provision of utilities, compatibility with
adjoining land uses, and the absence of physical constraints.
5
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2014-17
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 further encroach into the existing nonconforming
distance to structures on the adjacent lot to the north and side setback to
the north side property line. Because the proposed second floor addition is
set back 20 feet from the front of the garage and approximately 44 feet from
the front property line, the addition will not add bulk to the front of the house
as seen from the street. Further, the addition is located 15 feet from the
neighbor to the north and south, which complies with the code requirement.
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.
Based upon the findings and conclusion set forth above, the Planning Commission hereby
approves this Application, subject to the following conditions: .
Development shall substantially comply with the plans and documents
presented to the Planning Commission at the public hearing.
2. All exposed portions of retaining walls shall be finished with a smooth stucco
application and material or decorative block to match the proposed exterior
wall finish of the house.
3. Standard Conditions. The applicant shall comply with the standard
development conditions attached hereto.
