SP/Lee presented staff's report and recommended that the Planning
Commission forward said report to City Council to Receive and File.
C/Wolfe asked when the traffic control devices on the shoulder of
westbound Grand Avenue approaching Longview would be removed.
SP/Lee responded that her understanding is that all major improvements
have been completed and that Public Works staff is scheduling a final
inspection to verify improvement completion and that all work items have
been satisfied. C/Wolfe asked if residents could expect additional lane
closures and SP/Lee said she did not believe that would happen.
C/Nishimura said he believed that when the project was completed they
removed barriers and then had to put them back to repair a couple of bricks
that had popped out. SP/Lee said she would follow up with Public Works
staff but her understanding is that the inspections will be wrapped up and
barriers will be removed shortly.

AP/Espinoza presented staff's report and recommended Planning
Commission approval of Development Review No. PI -2013-555, based on
the Findings of Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed
within the resolution.
CDD/Gubman further explained that this project stands alone and does not
require Alamo Heights Drive to be extended. The extension of Alamo
Heights Drive is a component of the Millennium Subdivision which has not
yet been recorded. If and when the Millennium Subdivision records and
development moves forward and Alamo Heights Drive is constructed, the
discussion in staffs report is being provided to illustrate that the terraced
retaining walls would be buried by construction of Alamo Heights Drive
which would eliminate the visual impacts of the retaining walls; however,
should the Millennium project not move forward the retaining walls would
support the development pad for this item under consideration this evening.
Amat Tajudin with EGTA Architects in Irvine thanked staff members who
have helped his firm navigate through this process, especially with regard
to the Millennium project. Mr. Tajudian explained the project and explained
that the intent was to keep the massing low on the site by blending it into
the landscape and existing community. Alamo Heights is a small enclave
and the intent is to create a Tuscan/Provence type of "village" in the area.
He and his clients are eager to move forward with the project and are
present to respond to Commission questions.
C/Nishimura asked for further clarification regarding the individuals concern
about the retaining wall as to whether it was the wall that was to be covered
or the future Alamo Heights Drive retaining wall and AP/Espinoza
responded that it is the screened retaining wall proposed for this project.
C/Nishimura asked if the applicant would be responsible for watering the
landscape materials in the retaining wall and AP/Espinoza responded
affirmatively.
JANUARY 12, 2016 PAGE 5 PLANNING COMMISSION
C/Wolfe asked if there was sufficient room for the planting to occur on the
backside of the retaining wall and accommodate road access for
maintenance purposes and AP/Espinoza responded yes and explained that
there is a small planter area inside of the curb to accommodate the plantings
and the width of the roadway is sufficient for which it is intended.
Hofu Wu lives at 22368 Kicking Horse Drive said he is an architect and
professor at Cal Poly Pomona. In general, he supports the development of
beautiful and sustainably designed houses. His concerns include his
removed fence which the developer agreed to reconstruct when the grading
was completed which was two years ago and there is still an orange barrier
temporary fence in place. He felt the fencing should be replaced prior to
new grading for this project to protect the integrity of both properties.
Second, due to the prolonged period of construction and lingering noises,
the dirt must be controlled to limit the loose soil and dust which spill over
onto his building fagade. He wondered whether it was legal to construct on
the easement and what would happen to the retaining wall if the Millennium
project does not move forward. He asked that his concerns be addressed
as conditions to this project.
Theresa Lee who lives off of Kicking Horse asked about the import and
export of soil and where the soil would be exported and how it would be
imported. Because The Country is very unique it does not allow soil to be
exported, only imported. The state has mandated a 25 percent reduction in
water usage and the applicant intends to irrigate and wanted to know if the
mandate would rest with the homeowner or become a liability to the
homeowner's association. She wanted to know where the storm drain
would drain and whether it would drain onto the hillside which would result
in erosion. She wanted the dust issue addressed and wanted to know if the
retaining wall had the approval of the HOA.
Joe Leyva responded to speakers that the soil is stockpiled on the adjacent
site. Lots one and two were left high so that dirt could be moved from those
lots and soil has been stockpiled for lots under construction. The amount
of soil to be imported is yet to be determined. He understands the concern
that this project is going to be importing from other areas within The Country
but that is false. There will be no import of dirt from other sites within The
Country. The landscape plan includes the use of drought -tolerant
landscaping and irrigation methods for this and all lots in this project which
will include watering the retaining walls. The water for this area is the
responsibility of the homeowners until the Millennium project and Alamo
JANUARY 12, 2016 PAGE 6 PLANNING COMMISSION
Heights is built and accepted by the HOA. Until that time, the property line
for this project runs to the outside of the bottom retaining wall. The
easement begins on the other side so Millennium will be building on this
property as well as on their easement property. The County's storm drain
system has been designed and approved for about five years per County
standards and is in operation. This system accepts water from the homes
to the north which flows -through the project site and exits into a natural
drainage course to the south that will be addressed by Millennium through
their development. This project is not allowed to touch the system because
Fish & Game and the US Army Corps of Engineers have disallowed any
activity in that area. The project has taken steps to mitigate the dust and
today is the first that he has heard about the dust issue resulting from
construction of this project. Unfortunately, construction took longer to get
to Lot 5 because it was mandated by the City Council to work with
Millennium to make the projects match. The retaining walls are within the
project site's property and within the development standards which were
approved by the HOA. The reason the white fence has not been replaced
on the other property is because the City's engineering staff said the overall
tract grading could not be finalized until Lot 5 was approved so at this point,
the project will prepare an "as built" and once the grading is completed, the
siting of the fence will be done and it will be replaced.
VC/Mahlke asked for clarification that the storm drain is designed, approved
and operational. Mr. Leyva responded that VC/ ' Mahlke was correct and that
it has been installed for about two years when it was accepted by LA
County.
C/Farago asked about the timeline for restoring the white fence and
Mr. Leyva responded that if the project is approved this evening, plans will
be submitted to Building and Safety which will take three to four months for
approval with grading to commence in two to three months and the hope is
that by August there would be signoff on the rough grading so that the white
fence could be replaced. C/Farago asked what kind of dust measures will
be implemented. Mr. Leyva said he would speak with his graders about
having water trucks to mitigate the dust. Part of the challenge is that the
slopes have been seeded but the landscaping will not be installed until the
houses are completed.
C/Nishimura spoke off mike about the stockpiling of dirt, dust mitigation and
stockpiling of building materials. Mr. Leyva responded that all five lots are
JANUARY 12, 2016
PAGE 7 PLANNING COMMISSION
subject to inspection by the City's Engineering Department to verify dust
and water mitigation measures for the entire site on a monthly basis.
CDD/Gubman stated in response to C/Nishimura's concerns that there are
dust control measures and NPDES requirements for an ongoing
construction project and this entire subdivision is subject to those
requirements. Using watering vehicles to keep the soil under control is
among those requirements and although those practices are inspected it
does not mean that the developer is necessarily complying at all times but
if the City receives complaints, a site visit will be made and enforcement
tools will be initiated to require that the best practices be kept to City
standards. The permit is subject to those requirements so in between
inspections, staff will respond to complaints. Also, this subdivision has been
annexed into The Diamond Bar Country Estates Association so the HOA
has enforcement tools at its disposal to control the nuisance that might be
created by airborne dust as well and there may be additional sanctions the
HOA can impose if the project is creating a hardship on neighboring
properties.
C/Nishimura spoke off mike about building a retaining wall on the easement
and ACA/Eggart responded by reiterating that the applicant indicated the
retaining wall would not be built on an easement but on their property only.
CDD/Gubman explained that the project limits are entirely within the subject
property and there are easements on the subject property favoring other
property owners and entities. The easement is more a property right that
has been conveyed upon the beneficiary of the easement so it is more of a
civil question about what types of improvements may occur within the
easement. The applicant asserts that they are within their rights to perform
these improvements within the easement and the presumption is that they
have consulted with the beneficiary of the easement and they are not doing
anything that would restrict the purpose of that easement. The City is not
per se enforcing the terms of the easement and there is a civil remedy to
the user of that easement if the property owner's end of the bargain is not
being upheld.
C/Nishimura asked if there was liability to the City for approving this project
with a wall in the easement and ACA/Eggart responded "there is not."
VC/Mahlke noted that staff's report indicates that The Diamond Bar Country
Estates Architectural Committee has approved all of these plans which she
JANUARY 12, 2016
PAGE 8 PLANNING COMMISSION
assumed included all of the information including the easements.
C/Nishimura said that The Country Estates is not the beneficiary of the
easement. VC/Mahlke said she understood C/Nishimura's statement and
said she was making a point that speaks to clarification for one of the
speakers.
CDD/Gubman explained that the city's decision to approve or disapprove
this project is not dependent upon any decision by the HOA. Whatever is
within the HOA's purview to approve or disapprove, it is the property
owner's and not the City's obligation to meet those requirements.
C/Nishimura asked if on the cross section of the retaining walls the existing
road is in or outside of the easement for the property owner. Jerry Yeh,
developer, responded that the current service road is on the Horizon Pacific
property. The cross section (orange walls) are on the Horizon Pacific
property and is not subject to interpretation of the easement owner.
Ms. Lee said that if the HOA approved the easement wall and it changed in
the future it would be subject to reconsideration by the HOA. She also
complained that there was debris covering the stream at the bottom of the
storm drain.
Mr. Wu said he believed the fence could be done now without waiting until
the grading was done because the fence is on his property.
VC/Mahlke closed the Public Hearing.
C/Wolfe moved, C/Farago seconded, to approve Development Review

With no one present who wished to speak on this item, VC/Mahlke closed

C/Wolfe asked why staff indicated 24 -gallon (24 -inch box) trees for
replacement when the Arborist recommended replacement with a 15 -gallon
tree. PC/Espino said that although the code provides for 15 -gallon tree
replacement, typically the city wants a slightly larger tree to have more root
growth which provides for a better chance of survival. C/Wolfe said he has
understood from his work environment that smaller trees have a better
chance of being accepted into a new environment. Often larger trees are
root bounded and there may be a reason the Arborist recommends planting
something that is at a smaller scale. PC/Espino explained that these are
the size the City has consistently required of all applicants.
4a A K
PLANNING COMMISSION
CDD/Gubman confirmed that Section 22.38.130 tree replacement and
relocation standards requires the minimum box size for six or fewer
replacement trees to be 24 -inch. If more than six (6) replacement trees are
being provided, the sizes shall be determined by the Director who has the
discretion to allow for smaller sized trees or, the Commission can make that
decision.
C/Wolfe said that generally the Arborist has a reason for recommending a
certain size but perhaps not. CDD/Gubman said that C/Wolfe is correct in
that the smaller trees will actually catch up and surpass the growth of a
larger installed tree and the code gives the Commission the opportunity to
allow the trees to be replaced in accordance with the recommendations of
the Arborist. Therefore, if the Commission wishes to change the condition
to 15 -gallon it has the authority to do so.
C/Wolfe moved, C/Farago seconded, to approve Development Review and
Tree Permit No. PL2015-317 with the following amendment that
replacement of the five (5) protected Black Walnut trees be replaced at a
3:1 ratio with 15 -gallon trees instead of 24 -inch box trees. Motion carried

VC/Mahlke thanked staff and Commissioners for their well -wishes and lovely
flowers while she was in the hospital. She said she appreciated the support of her
colleagues while serving as Acting Chair this evening.
10. STAFF COMMENTS/INFORMATIONAL ITEMS:
10.1 Public Hearing dates for future projects.
CDD/Gubman announced that the agenda for the January 26 includes
additions to single family residences, one on Cold Spring Lane and one on
Bellow Court. He wished everyone a Happy New Year and said that staff
is preparing an RFP to select a consultant for the General Plan
Comprehensive Update which should be going out in early February. The
Commission will be guided through the process. One step in the process is
to set up a General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) which is typically
comprised of members of the City Council, members of the Planning
Commission and at least one representative from other city commissions,
members of which will be guided to provide and incorporate their input,
aspirations and vision for the next 20 years in Diamond Bar.
The City is likely to see movement on the Kmart property. The
Honda/Burger King property was supposed to be fenced today but does not
believe that happened; however, a demolition contractor has been selected
and those buildings and illegal dumping material will be cleared and that
attractive nuisance will finally be removed from the City. The City has been
pushing to attract a hotel developer for the site and staff hopes to see that
happen. However, as discussed during the General Plan Annual Report,
the trailer park property at Brea Canyon Road and Lycoming is a potential
hotel and related use site. There may be a need for two hotels in the area
but should the trailer park property move forward it makes the market
conditions a little less favorable for hotel development on the Honda
property and the City may have to re -strategize on the highest and best use
for that site.
With the new commercial building in the Target/Chili's Shopping Center,
Starbucks at Grand and Diamond Bar Boulevard will relocate to the new
building. He heard an unconfirmed report that a California restaurant chain
is moving forward with a lease to open in the current Starbucks location and
once he has confirmation he will share the information with the Commission.
JANUARY 12, 2016 PAGE 13 PLANNING COMMISSION
C/Nishimura asked if there would be a new business locating at the Just
Tires location and CDD/Gubman responded that he was not aware of any
inquiries about the site. C/Nishimura asked about the vacant Coco's site
and CDD/Gubman responded that a new seafood restaurant is going in and
the tenant improvement plans are with Building and Safety. C/Nishimura
asked if there was a plan to save the electronic sign bordering the Honda
property and CDD/Gubman said no because Phase I of the Confluence
project will take out that sign. However, the City is supportive of having
another sign with a new development which is something that can be
negotiated at that time.
VC/Mahlke said she was surprised and interested to learn that there would
be a Jimmy John's instead of a Waba Grill. CDD/Gubman said that the City
may get a Waba Grill at another location.
11. SCHEDULE OF FUTURE EVENTS:
As listed in tonight's agenda.
ADJOURNMENT: With no further business before the Planning Commission,
VC/Mahlke adjourned the regular meeting at 8:31 p.m.
The foregoing minutes are hereby approved this 26th day of January, 2016.

The applicant is requesting Development Review approval to construct a one-story addition
consisting of 464 square feet of floor area to an existing 1,752 square -foot, one-story
single-family residence with an attached 457 square -foot, two -car garage on a 0.54 gross acre
lot.
Adopt the attached Resolution (Attachment 1) approving Development Review
No. PL2015-464, based on the findings of Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC)
Sections 22.48, subject to conditions.
The project site is located on t ' he west side of Cold Spring Lane, a local residential street, south
of the intersection with Diamond Bar Boulevard. The property was developed in 1977 under
Los Angeles County standards with a 1,752 square -foot, one-story single-family residence and
a 457 square -foot, two -car garage on a 0.54 gross acre (23,590 gross square -foot) lot. There
are no protected trees on site.
The existing house is situated toward the front of the lot, 14 feet from the right-of-way line. The
subject parcel is a deep, descending lot -368 feet in length—that extends to the Diamond Bar
Boulevard right-of-way line. The buildable pad area is approximately 7,950 square feet. The
remainder is undeveloped slope terrain visible from Diamond Bar Boulevard.
The property is legally described as Lot 19 of Tract No. 32974, and the Assessor's Parcel
Number (APN) is 8714-001-012.
The following table describes the surrounding land uses located adjacent to the subject
property:

Panoramic Street View of Project Site
The proposed one-story addition consists of the following components:
The existing one-story home consists of common areas (family room, game room, dining room,
and kitchen), and private areas consisting of three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The new
addition will be added to the front of the home. The floor area will be modified to allow for the
creation of a new office, a foyer, a new bathroom, pantry and a 22 square -foot front porch.
The height of the existing house is approximately 17'-5" and the height of the proposed addition
will increase it to 18'-2", measured from the finished grade to the highest point *of the roofline.
The existing residence has a rear setback of 28-4" (measured from the rear of the house to
the rear of the buildable pad/top of slope) and a front setback of 20 feet'. The side setbacks
are 5'-8" on one side, and 13'-8" on the other. The proposed addition will not change the
distances to adjacent structures to the north of 19'-11" and to the south of 19'-4" (where 15 feet
is required).
Site and Grading Configuration: The one-story addition will be added at the front of the
existing home, entirely within the envelope of the buildable pad. As such, minimal grading is
required to accommodate footings and foundation of the new addition.
Architectural Features, Colors, and Materials: The architecture of the existing residence is
typical of the late 1970s tract vernacular with textured stucco and wood siding on exterior walls,
and a gabled roof with flat asphalt shingle tiles. The existing chimney at the front elevation will
be removed entirely. The proposed design will maintain architectural integrity by incorporating
I Front setback measurement for all parcels within Tract 32974 begin within the public right-of-way, six (6) feet
behind curb face.

SCOPE OF WORK
The proposed project requires a land use approval through the Development Review (DR)
process. The analysis that follows provides the basis for staff's recommendation to approve
the DR application.
,111
11��11 W 1 31
1`111 b 1:70"1•
Additions to structures which involves a.substantial change or intensification of land use
(i.e., changes to structures visible from the street) require Planning Commission approval of a
DR application. Development Review approval is required to ensure compliance with the City's
Development Review No. PL 2015-464 Page 4 of 6
General Plan policies, development standards, and design guidelines, and to minimize adverse
effects of the proposed project upon the surrounding properties and the City in general.
As stated in Section 22.48.010 of the Development Code, the Development Review process
was established to ensure that new development and additions to existing development are
consistent with the General Plan "through the promotion of high functional and aesthetic
standards to complement and add to the economic, physical, and social character" of Diamond
Bar.

Landscaping: Landscape plans are not required because the site is already developed, and
because the project is exempt from the City's Water Efficient Landscaping Ordinance. The
ordinance would only apply if new or rehabilitated landscaping of 2,500 square feet or less was
being installed or altered. A portion of the front lawn will be removed to accommodate for the
addition and complies with the minimum landscape area of 50 percent of the front yard area
requirement. However, landscaping that is damaged during construction will need to be
restored upon project completion. This requirement is included as a condition of approval.
The proposed project complies with the goals and objectives as set forth in the adopted General
Plan in terms of land use and density. The project is designed to be compatible with and
enhance the character of the existing homes in the neighborhood. The addition to the front of
the home will generally be maintained in the same architectural style of the existing house,
while adding a few contemporary elements, such as stacked stone veneer and the addition of
a more prominent front entry. The proposed addition at the front of the home will have windows
on the east elevation, adjacent to an existing single-family residence. However, the addition is
adjacent to the neighbor's windowless garage. As such, the project will maintain privacy views
looking to/from adjacent properties and will be visually integrated into the existing home and
not negatively impact the look and character of the neighborhood.
Development Review No. PL 2015-464 Page 5 of 6
The project incorporates the principles of the City's Residential Design Guidelines as follows:
A gradual transition between the addition and existing residence is achieved through
appropriate setbacks, building height, landscaping, and window and door placement;
Elevations are treated with detailed architectural elements;
Roof lines are representative of the design and scale of the structure through vertical and
horizontal articulations;
® Placement and relationship of windows, doors, and other window openings are carefully
integrated with the building's overall design;
® The addition is visually integrated with the primary structure, by utilizing similar colors and
materials throughout the proposed addition;
® Roof type, pitch and materials of the addition match the primary structure; and
a Large wall expanses without windows or doors are avoided.
The Public Works Department and Building and Safety Division reviewed this project, and their
comments are included in the attached resolution as conditions of approval.
On January 11, 2016, public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within a 1,000 -foot
radius of the project site. On January 15, 2016, the notice was published in the San Gabriel
Valley Tribune and Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspapers. A notice display board was posted
at the site, and a copy of the notice was posted at the City's three designated community
posting sites.
Public Comments Received
No comments have been received as of the publication date of this report.
This project has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). Based on that assessment, the City has determined the project to be Categorically
Exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to the provisions of Article 19 Section 15301(e)
(additions to existing structures) of the CEQA Guidelines. 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, 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 one-story addition consisting of
464 square feet of floor area to the existing one-story single-family
residence is consistent with the City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines
and development standards. -The one-story addition will be added at the
front of the existing home. The proposed design will maintain architectural
integrity by incorporating matching exterior colors and building materials.
The roof of the proposed addition will match the existing 4:12 gabled roof
pitch. The mass and scale of the addition to the front of the home are
proportionate to the existing house.
The project site is not part of any theme area, specific plan, community plan,
boulevard or planned development.
2
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2016 -XX
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 additi6n 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 architecture of the existing residence is a late 1970s tract design with
textured stucco and wood siding on exterior walls, and a gabled roof with
flat asphalt shingle tiles. The existing chimney at the front elevation will be
removed entirely. The proposed design will maintain architectural integrity
by incorporating matching exterior colors and building materials. The
applicant will be adding a few modem elements to the front such as stacked
stone veneer and incorporation of a more prominent front entry. The roof
of the proposed addition will match the existing 4:12 gabled roof pitch. The
mass and scale of the addition at the front of the home are proportionate to
the existing house.
The proposed 464 square -foot addition at the front of the home will have
windows on the east elevation, adjacent to an existing single-family
residence. -However, the addition is adjacent to the neighbor's garage that
is not considered habitable living area. In addition, the garage does not
have any windows. The project will maintain privacy views looking to/from
adjacent properties.
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.

Conditional Use Permit No. PL2015-98, based on the findings of Diamond Bar Municipal Code
(DBMC) Sections 22.48 and 22.56, subject to conditions.
The project site is located on the terminus of the cul-de-sac of Bellows Court, north of Armitos
Place. The site was developed in 1987 under Los Angeles County standards with a 1,555
square -foot single family residence and a 438 square -foot garage on a 0.35 gross acre (15,079
square -foot) lot. There are no protected trees on site.
The property is legally described as Lot 8 of Tract No. 42587, and the Assessor's Parcel
Number (APN) is 8281-035-049.
Project Description
The proposed first floor addition is located at the rear of the existing residence and the second
floor addition is located primarily above the first floor addition. The addition consists of the
following components:

The existing two-story home consists of common areas (living room, family room, and kitchen),
one bedroom and a bathroom on the first floor. The existing second floor consists of four
bedrooms and two bathrooms. The applicant is proposing to remodel the existing first floor to
include a bedroom, one bathroom, utility/laundry room, and a large open area that includes an
expanded kitchen, nook, family room, TV room, and living room. The second floor remodel and
addition include demolishing the three bedrooms to facilitate the construction of two bedrooms
with bathrooms and balconies.
The applicant is. also proposing a pool in the rear yard and landscaping along the north and
south property lines to provide screening and minimize the view to and from the adjacent
properties.
Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. PL 2015-98 Page 2 of 9
The height of the existing house is 23'-10" and the height of the proposed addition is 22'-7",
measured from the finished grade to the highest point of the roofline.
The existing residence has a front setback of 35 feet' and a rear setback of 36-10". The side
setbacks are 18'-11" on the north side, and 5 feet on south side. The existing residence has a
nonconforming distance separation of 11 feet to the residence on the adjacent lot to the south.
By definition, the residence is considered a "nonconforming structure" (DBMC
Section 22.68.030). Approval of a Minor Conditional Use Permit is required to allow an
expansion of a nonconforming structure if the expansion is greater than 50 percent of the
existing square footage of all structures, or if the expansion is not limited to the ground floor.
Site and Grading Configuration: The property is an irregularly shaped lot. The existing house
is situated on a leveled pad with a descending slope at the rear of the property. The proposed
first floor addition is located on an existing leveled pad at the rear and side of the house, and
the second story addition will be added above the proposed first floor of the residence. Minimal
excavation will be required for footings and foundation placement for the new first floor area.
Grading permits are not required for the excavation of the proposed footings and the pool.
Architectural Features, Colors, and Materials: The existing residence is 1980s tract design
with stucco, river rock, and concrete roof tiles on a gable roof. The applicant is proposing to
retain the existing building form, but is introducing contemporary details such as vertical
windows, a frosted glass -paned garage door, and steel balcony railings. In addition, the
proposed concrete roof tiles will match existing, the existing river rock will be removed, and the
entire house will be restuccoed.

Development Review (DBIVIC Chapter 22.48)
Additions that substantially change the appearance of an existing residence require Planning
Commission approval of a DR application. Development Review approval is required to ensure
compliance with the City's General Plan policies, development standards, and design
guidelines, and to minimize adverse effects of the proposed project upon the surrounding
properties and the City in general.
As stated in Section 22.48.010 of the Development Code, the Development Review process
was established to ensure that new development and additions to existing development are
consistent with the General Plan "through the promotion of high functional and aesthetic
standards to complement and add to the economic, physical, and social character" of Diamond
Bar.
Development Standards: The following table compares the proposed project with the City's
development standards for residential development in the RLIVI zone:

Minor Conditional Use Permit is requested to allow the continuation of a nonconforming structure because the addition is
greater than 50 percent of the existing home and is not limited to the ground floor. See MCUP discussion on page 7.
Landscaping: Landscape plans are not required because the site is already developed, and
because the project is exempt from the City's Water Efficient Landscaping Ordinance. A
portion of the lawn at the rear and side yards will be removed to accommodate for the addition
and the pool. The ordinance would only apply if new or rehabilitated landscaping of
2,500 square feet or less was being installed or altered. However, landscaping that is damaged
during construction will need to be restored upon project completion. This requirement is
included as a condition of approval.
In addition, the applicant is proposing 10 to 12 -foot tall king and queen palm trees and 18 -foot
tall giant timber bamboo—a type of "clumping" bamboo which has compact roots and is
minimally invasive—along the north and south side property lines to create a visual buffer and
screening due to any potential privacy concerns that may arise because of the proposed
Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. PL 2015-98 Page 6 of 9
second story balcony. In addition, the applicant is proposing 15 -foot tall Japanese maple trees
and 20 -foot tall Canary Island and cherry trees throughout the property.
Minor Conditional Use Permit (DIBIVIC Chapter 22.56)
An IVICUP is required if a change or expansion of a nonconforming structure is greater than
50 percent of the existing square footage of all structures on site, or if the addition is not limited
to the ground floor or below. Current development standards require a minimum distance of
15 feet between structures on adjacent lots. The existing residence has a nonconforming
distance separation of 11 feet between itself and the residence on the adjacent lot to the south.
The proposed addition is primarily located at the rear of the house and will comply with all
development standards.
The City recognizes that homeowners should be allowed to make appropriate improvements
to their properties, even if the existing improvements do not fully conform to current
development standards. Therefore, the City has established the IVICUP process for such
additions, subject to the findings set forth in the Development Code.
IVICUPs are normally subject to approval of the City's Hearing Officer (typically the Community
Development Director). However, because this IVICUP is being reviewed as part of a
DR application, both land use entitlements are subject to review and approval of the Planning
Commission.
Staff believes that approving the IVICUP as described above is appropriate and compatible with
other residences in the neighborhood, based on the following facts and observations:
The existing dwelling was built in 1987, prior to the incorporation of the City of Diamond
Bar;
a The proposed two-story addition complies with all required setbacks;
Neighboring properties have nonconforming setbacks, so the proposed project will remain
consistent with other homes within the neighborhood.
The proposed project complies with the goals and objectives as set forth in the adopted General
Plan in terms of land use and density. Two balconies are proposed at the rear of the house.
The applicant is proposing trees—such as giant timber bamboo and king and queen palms—
along the north and south property lines to provide screening to minimize privacy issues
between the proposed balconies and the adjacent properties to the north and south. The
applicant will maintain an 18 -foot height for the bamboo and height of 10 to 12 feet for the king
and queen palms. In addition, the applicant is proposing frosted glass for the proposed second
floor bedroom window to provide additional privacy between the subject property and the
property to the south. Based on these observations, staff does not find privacy loss to be a
project impact to the neighboring property with the frosted glass for the second floor bedroom
window and planting of trees to serve as a visual buffer between the two properties.
Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. PL 2015-98 Page 7 of 9
The project is designed to be compatible with of the existing homes in the neighborhood by
maintaining the mass, scale and rhythm of the streetscape. The existing house is a two-story
house and the addition is located at the rear of the house. The applicant. is proposing to add
contemporary features, such as tall vertical windows, a frosted glass -paned garage door, and
steel balcony railings, but will retain the current building form and scale. It is staffs opinion that
the addition/remodel is compatible with the scale and character of the neighborhood.
The project incorporates the principles of the City's Residential Design Guidelines as follows:
e Site Planning:
– The proposed addition will conform to all development standards including building
height and setbacks, which is consistent with other homes in the neighborhood.
– The addition is designed to minimize the negative impacts on surrounding homes. A
transition between the project and adjacent properties is achieved through appropriate
setbacks.
® Fenestration:
– Placement and relationship of windows, doors, and other window openings are carefully
integrated with the building's overall design.
– Large wall expanses without windows or doors are avoided.
– Placement and design of windows were considered to provide privacy between the
properties.
– The addition is visually integrated with the primary structure, by utilizing similar colors
and materials throughout the remodeled fagade and the proposed addition.
® Privacy:
– Second story windows facing close neighboring properties are minimized to provide
privacy.
– Landscaping—such as palm trees and giant timber bamboo—is used to screen areas
most sensitive to privacy.

B. RESOLUTION
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,

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 two-story addition consisting of
1, 249 square feet of floor area and 361 square feet of patio and balcony
2 Planning Commission Resolution No, 2016 -XX
area to an existing single family residence is consistent with the City's
General Plan, City Design Guidelines and development standards by
complying with all required setbacks. The first and second floor addition is
located at the rear and side of the existing house.
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. Two balconies are proposed at the rear of the house.
The applicant is proposing trees—such as giant timber bamboo and king
and queen palms—along the north and South property lines to provide
screening to minimize privacy issues between the proposed balconies and
the adjacent properties to the north and south. The applicant will maintain
an 18 -foot height for the bamboo and height of 10 to 12 feet for the king and
queen palms. In addition, the applicant is proposing frosted glass for the
proposed second floor bedroom window to provide additional privacy
between the subject property and the pr6perty to the South. Based on these
observations, staff does not find privacy loss to be a project impact to the
neighboring property with the frosted glass for the second floor bedroom
window and planting of trees to serve as a visual buffer between the two
properties.
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 architecture is a 1980s tract home with stucco, river rock, and
concrete roof tiles on a gable roof. The applicant is proposing to retain the
existing building form, but is introducing contemporary details such as.
vertical windows, a frosted glass -paned garage door, and steel balcony
railings. In addition, the proposed concrete roof tiles will match existing, the
existing river rock will be removed, and the entire house will be restuccoed.
3 Planning Commission Resolution No, 2016 -XX
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 existing architecture is a 1980s tract home with stucco, river rock, and
concrete roof tiles on a gable roof. The applicant is proposing to retain the
existing building form, but is introducing contemporary details such as
vertical windows, a frosted glass -paned garage door, and steel balcony
railings. In addition, the proposed concrete roof tiles will match existing, the
existing river rock will be removed, and the entire house will be restuccoed.
The two-story addition is located at the rear and side of 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.
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 a second -story
addition to a nonconforming structure with a preexisting 11 -foot building
4 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2016 -XX
separation to the house on the adjacent lot to the south (where 15 feet is
required).
The preexisting substandard distance to the structure on the adjacent lot to
the south renders the project nonconforming. The addition of a
nonconforming structure requires approval of a Minor Conditional Use
Permit because the addition is greater than 50 percent of the existing home
and is not limited to the ground floor. The proposed addition consisting of
1, 249 square feet of floor area and 361 square feet of patio/balcony area to
an existing two-story home complies with the development standards of the
RLM zone and will not further encroach into the nonconforming distance to
the structure on the adjacent lot to the south.
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
1,249 square feet of floor area and 361 square feet of patio/balcony area
will not further encroach into the existing nonconforming distance to the
structure on the adjacent lot to the south of 11 feet. The proposed first floor
addition is located at rear and side of the house and the second floor is
located above the proposed first floor. 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 applicant is proposing
to retain the existing building form, but is introducing contemporary details.
In addition, the applicant is proposing trees—such as giant timber bamboo
and king and queen palms—along the north and south property lines to
provide screening to minimize privacy issues between the balconies and
the adjacent properties to the north and south. In addition, the applicant is
proposing frosted glass for the proposed second floor bedroom window to
provide additional privacy between the subject property and the property to
the south. Based on these observations, staff does not find privacy loss to
be a project impact to the neighboring property with the frosted glass for the
second floor bedroom window and planting of trees to serve as a visual
buffer between the two properties.
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, 2016 -XX
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 the structure on the adjacent lot to the south. The first floor
addition is located at the rear and side of the house and the second floor
addition is primarily located above the.proposed addition.
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. Standard Conditions. The applicant shall comply with the standard
development conditions attached hereto.
The Planning Commission shall:

Forthwith transmit a certified copy of this Resolution, by certified mail to the property
owner/applicant, Justin Lee, 505 Bellows Court, Diamond Bar, CA 91765.
