B. RESOLUTION NOW, THEREFORE, it is found, determined and resolved by the Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar as follows: 1. The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct; and 2. The Planning Commission hereby determines the Project to be Categorically Exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the provisions of Article 19, Section 15301 (e) (additions to existing structures) of the CEQA Guidelines. Therefore, no further environmental review is required. C. FINDINGS OF FACT Based on the findings and conclusions set forth herein and as prescribed under Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Sections 22.48 and 22.56, 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 two-story addition consisting of 9,197 square feet to the existing single-family residence is consistent with the City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines and development standards 2 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2044-19 by meeting all required setbacks, with the exception of an existing nonconforming front setback of 16 feet, 3 inches. The two-story addition is proposed to be located to the south and east (rear) sides of the existing residence—setback 90 feet from the adjacent side property line and 20 feet from the rear property line ---which will reduce the overall mass and scale of the building as seen from the street ' and neighboring properties. The proposed addition is set back behind the existing garage and the second floor addition is further set back from the first floor, which reduces the overall scale and massing of the building from the street. The proposed addition will retain and enhance the Mediterranean design and will be consistent throughout the exterior elevations by matching colors, 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 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 Mediterranean style house was constructed as part of a 1980s tract development. The applicant is proposing a two-story addition to an existing two-story home and enhancing the Mediterranean design style of architecture. The proposed design will maintain architectural integrity by incorporating complementary fenestration patterns, and the hipped roof will 3 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2014-19 have a 4:12 pitch, compatible with the mass and scale of the home. 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 architecture of the existing residence is- a 1980s tract home with a Mediterranean design featuring concrete file roof and exterior textured stucco wall finish. The applicant is proposing to enhance the Mediterranean style of architecture, featuring a pronounced entry with painted aluminum reveals and stone base veneer on the columns at the front of the home. The proposed addition will maintain architectural integrity of the design style by incorporating fenestration patterns, exterior colors and building materials to match the existing home. Therefore, the addition will be visually integrated into the existing home and not negatively impact the look and character of the neighborhood. 5. The proposed development will not be detrimental to public health, safety or welfare or materially injurious (e.g., negative effect on property values or resale(s) of property) to the properties or improvements in the vicinity. Before the issuance of any City permits, the proposed project is required to comply with all conditions within the approved resolution, and the Building and Safety Division and Public Works Departments requirements. Through the permit and inspection process, the referenced agencies will ensure that the proposed project is not detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity. 6. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as set forth under Article 19 Section 15301 (e) (additions to existing structures) of the CEQA guidelines. 4 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2014-19 Minor Conditional Use Permit Findings DBIVIC 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. R Minor Conditional Use Permit (MCUP) is requested to allow a two-story addition to an existing building with a nonconforming front setback of 16 feet, 3 inches, where 20 feet is required. The substandard distance to front 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 all structures on site and is not limited to the ground floor. The proposed addition consisting of 1,197 square feet of floor area and 246 square feet of porch/balcony area to an existing two-story home complies with the development standards of the RLM zone and will not encroach into the nonconforming front setback. 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 1,197 square feet of floor area and 246 square feet of porch/balcony area will not further encroach into the existing nonconforming front setback of 16'-3". The proposed addition is set back behind the existing garage and the second floor addition is further set back from the first floor, which reduces the overall scale and massing of the building 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. 2044-19 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 front setback. The proposed addition is set back behind the existing garage and the second floor addition is further set back from the first floor, which reduces the overall scale and massing of the building from the street. Further, the addition is located over 30 feet from the neighbor to south, which complies with the code requirement minimum 15 -foot distance separation to structures on adjacent lots. 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.
