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 15303(a) (new construction of a
single-family residence) of the CEQA Guidelines. Therefore, no further
environmental review is required.
B. 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
ollows:
Develo ment 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 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.
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. In addition, no protected trees exist on the property.
The proposed single-family house 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
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:
2
Planning commission Resolution No. 2014-26
The new single-family home is designed to be compatible with the recently built
homes in the neighborhood. The proposed architectural style is contemporary
with Mediterranean influences, such as hipped roofs, concrete roof tiles, and
stucco. In addition, the proposed home will have similar colors and materials with
earth -tone shades for the exterior finish to soften the building's visual impact and
assist in preserving the hillside's aesthetic value.
The proposed project complies with the goals and objectives as set forth in the
adopted General Plan in terms of land use and density, as well as City's
development standards, Residential Design Guidelines, and Hillside
Management Ordinance. The tract was developed between 1954 and 1987 and
complied with Los Angeles County development standards. When the more
recent homes were built, the City's development standards were implemented. In
addition, a new single-family home was approved on the adjacent vacant lot to
the south on June 24, 2014, for an 8,851 square -foot residence. The proposed
project is compatible with the existing homes—including the recently approved
home on the neighboring parcel—in the surrounding neighborhood due to the
following reasons:
® Scale and Massie : Although the home is approximately 4, 000 square feet.
larger than the average size of homes in the neighborhood, the proposed
home appears to be similar in size from the street since only the upper two
levels are seen at street level. The additional two stories step down along
the slope and towards the rear of the property. The applicant designed
the home to have the .majority of the square footage on the street level—
towards the rear of the property—and lowered the front porch in order to
reduce its overall scale. The massing of the building is softened by only
proposing the living room, front porch, and garage at the front of the house
and locating the other rooms of the entry floor behind the'garage and living
room: toward the rear of the house. The garage, front porch, and living
room—located at the front of the building—include lower roof elements
that help reduce the overall scale of building. in addition, the placement
of windows break up the massing of the house through articulation of
exterior wall surfaces, which results in a less massive building form.
Therefore, the proposed home is less imposing than the recently
constructed homes in the area due to the manner in which the square
footage of the new home is distributed and will not overwhelm. the
streetscape and the surroundings from a human scale; .
Front Setback: The proposed front setback is 20'-3" from the front property
line, which complies with the minimum 20 feet required by the
Development Code. The average front setback for the homes in the
neighborhood is approximately 15 feet. The homes that were approved
with the nonconforming front setbacks were all approved under the
County's jurisdiction; these homes are classified as legal nonconforming,
or "grandfathered" under the defunct Los Angeles County development
standards. The recent homes built in 2004 and 2008 provide a greater
distance than what is required by the City's Development Code. In
addition, although the size of the proposed home is larger than the existing
3
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2014-26
homes in the neighborhood, the distance from the proposed building to the
front property line is farther than the recently built homes built when the
tract was developed;
Architectural Compatibility: The project is designed to be architecturally
compatible with the recently built homes in the neighborhood,
incorporating similar hipped roof, concrete roof tiles, stucco, and metal
railings; and
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 contemporary with Mediterranean
influences. Modest building elements have been achieved through the utilization
of similar architectural features and building materials. 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 streetscape 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:
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 15303(a)
(new construction of a single-family residence) 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:
1 . Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant shall record, and provide the
City with a conformed recorded copy of, a Covenant and Agreement or similar
document in a form approved by the City Attorney, which restricts the rental of
rooms or other portions of the property under two or more separate agreements
and prohibits use of the property as a boarding or rooming house, except to the
extent otherwise permitted by the Diamond Bar Municipal Code or applicable
state or federal law;
4
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2014-26
2. Development shall substantially comply with the plans and documents presented
to the Planning Commission at the public hearing;
3. All exposed portions of retaining walls shall be finished with a stucco application

house;
4. Prior to building permit issuance, landscape and irrigation plans shall be reviewed
and approved by the City's Consulting Landscape Architect and shall comply with
the Water Conservation Landscaping Ordinance; and
5. Standard Conditions. The applicant shall comply with the standard development
conditions attached hereto.
