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 22.58, 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 Proposed Project is consistent with the applicable elements of the City's
General Plan, City Design Guidelines and development standards by meeting all
of the required setbacks of the Commercial Office zone. The proposed car wash
and equipment room addition have been designed to be complementary to the
existing convenience store building and is designed to fit the site and its
surroundings.
The architectural style of the addition is contemporary and will be compatible with
the architectural style of the convenience store. The proposed car wash and
equipment room incorporate similar exterior colors and material finishes to match
the existing store and includes design features such as an asymmetrical design,
textured stucco finish exterior walls with Limestone the base veneer, and
horizontal stucco moldings.
2
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2014-30
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 of the car wash and equipment room will not interfere with
the use of enjoyment of neighboring existing or future developments because the
use of the project site is designated for commercial uses and a fully automated
car wash is an accessory use to the existing service station.
The proposed building will not interfere with vehicular or pedestrian movements,
such as access or other functional requirements. The proposed car wash has
adequate queuing spaces for entering and exiting the car wash tunnel and will be
more than adequate to accommodate the expected vehicle demand.
Additionally, there is sufficient turning radii in the exiting drive aisle for vehicles
to turn in the lane.
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 architectural style is the same contemporary style as the existing
convenience store building used in conjunction with the service station. The
Proposed Project is designed to be compatible with the store and incorporates
architectural details and colors to match the existing building.
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:
Articulation and variation in the building elements has been achieved vertically
and horizontally through the utilization of varying architectural features such as
Limestone tile base veneer, horizontal stucco moldings, building colors and
materials, and landscaping. The asymmetrical design of the car wash addition
has a sense of balance, involving well-proportioned masses and roof design.
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/Engineering Department 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. 2014-30
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.
Conditional Use Permit Review Findings_(DBMC Section 22.58)
I. The Proposed Use is allowed within the subject zoning district with the approval
of a conditional use permit and complies with all other applicable provisions of
this Development Code and the Municipal Code:
A fully automated drive-thru car wash that is accessory to a service station is
permitted in the Commercial Office zoning district with approval of a conditional
use permit. Through compliance with the conditions of approval stipulating the
manner in which the use must be conducted, the Proposed Use will be compatible
with existing uses available at the service station.
2. The Proposed Use is consistent with the general plan and any applicable specific
plan:
The Proposed Use is consistent with General Plan Strategy 1.3.3: ("Encourage
neighborhood serving retail and service commercial uses') in that the proposed
car wash addition meets Strategy 9.3.3 because the proposed use provides
services to Diamond Bar residents. The proposed car wash use will provide
additional services customarily provided at service stations and will be an added
benefit to Diamond Bar residents.
The Proposed Project is also consistent with the Commercial Office zoning
standards and provides a well-designed building that will blend with the
surrounding area and will complement the convenience store building used in
conjunction with the service station.
The Proposed Project is not in a designated specific plan area.
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 Proposed Use is located at the west side of the convenience store building,
at the rear of the property. As such, the operational characteristics are
compatible with the existing uses available at the service station. The design of
the proposed car wash will allow the operation of the use to be conducted without
interfering with on-site vehicular or pedestrian circulation. The location of the
exiting drive aisle behind the convenience store will lead to the drive approach
fronting Brea Canyon Road and will not disrupt vehicular mobility on-site. Due to
the elevated building pad raised approximately 10 feet above the adjoining
4
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2014-30
property to the west and south, the adjacent landscaped buffer, and existing two -
foot high block wall at the rear of the property, vehicles in the queuing space and
exiting drive aisle lane will be screened from view and not readily visible from
nearby buildings in the surrounding area.
Through compliance with the conditions of approval stipulating the manner in
which the use must be conducted, the Proposed Use will be compatible with the
other uses within the service station.
4. The subject property 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:
The Project Site is located within an existing service station and the Proposed
Project has appropriate vehicle queuing capacity for the building, design, and
location. The proposed layout will be more than adequate to accommodate the
expected vehicle demand. Vehicular access to the car wash will enter from the
north side of the building and exit on the south side, behind the existing
convenience store. The orientation of the car wash addition to the building is
consistent with the Commercial Office zone.
5. Granting the conditional.. use permit will not be detrimental to the public interest,
health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or injurious to persons, property, or
improvements in the vicinity and zoning district in which the property is located:
Prior to the issuance of any city permits, the Proposed Use is required to comply
with all conditions of approval within the attached resolution, and the Building and
Safety Division and. Public Works/Engineering Department. Noise emanating
from forced air blowers within the car wash tunnel will be mitigated by adding a
condition of approval to ensure details and specification of all mechanical
equipment associated with the car wash be provided and show that such
equipment will not exceed a Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) of
60 dbA.
6. The Proposed Use 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 underArticle 19 Section 15301 (e)
(additions to existing structures) of the CEQA Guidelines.
