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.
Based on the findings and conclusions set forth herein and as prescribed under
Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Sections -22.48, 22.56, and 22.68, 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 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 and Residential Design Guidelines. The existing
neighborhood was developed between 1968 and 1979 and complies with Los -
Angeles County development standards that governed the area prior to
incorporation.
K
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2016-07
Although the home is approximately 1, 854 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 the proposed second floor area is significantly set
back from the first floor side elevations. The massing of the building is soft6ned
by creating articulationof the front fagade by recessing the second -story
addition approximately X -O" from the garage on the first floor with an
architectural projection above the entrance recessed 2'-0" from the front of the
house. In addition, the placement of windows breaks up the massing of the
'house through articulation of exterior wall surfaces, which results in a less
massive building form. I
Therefore, due to the manner in which the square footage of the second floor
addition is distributed, the home will not overwhelm the streetscape and the
surroundings from a human scale. The new Mediterranean design and
associated design elements and details will be .a significant enhancement to
the existing home's architectural presence. In sum, the addition will be visually
integrated into the existing home and not negatively impact the look and
character of the neighborhood.
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 ex ' isting 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. A portion of
the proposed second floor addition over a portion of the existing attached patio
cover will have views towards the rear of the property and will not readily
impose a line of sight that does not already exist from the ground level of the
rear yard of the subject property to the abutting property along the rear
property line due to the distance and location of the proposed addition.
Existing tall shrubs located along the northwest property line are capable of
growing to a maintainable height to minimize the views to/from the adjacent
property to the northwest. A condition of approval has been added herein to
maintain these shrubs and plant additional shrubs of the same. species along
a portion of the rear property line to act as a hedge and maintain privacy views
looking to/from adjacent 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.

Planning Commission Resolution No. 201647
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 �y.
Chapter 22.48: Development Review Standards, the City's Design G.widelin6s,
the City's General Plan, or any applicable specific plan.
The proposed design will be modified to a Mediterranean style of architecture.
The project is designed to be compatible with and enhance the characterof
the existing homes in the neighborhood. The massing of the building is
softened by creating articulation of the front fagade by recessing the second -
story addition approximately X-0" from the garage on the first floor with an
architectural projection above the entrance recessed 2'-0" from the front of the,
house. Furthermore, the addition will incorporate characteristics of the existing
home by using similar color I and building materials and will I enhance
architectural features of the new Mediterranean design.
As mentioned, a portion of the proposed second floor addition over a portion
of the existing attached patiocover will have views towards the rear of the
property and will not readily.impose a line of sight that does not already exist
from the ground level of the rear yard of the subject property to the abutting
property along the rear property line due to the distance and. location of the
proposed addition. Existing tall shrubs located along the northwest property
line are capable of growing to a maintainable height to minimize the views
to/from the adjacent property to the northwest The project, as conditioned
herein, 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 devp_lopment 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 design with textured
stucco on exterior walls, and 6 gable roof with composite shingles. The
proposed design will be modiiied to a Mediterranean style of architecture,
incorporating consistent fenestration patterns and matching exterior colors and
building materials. The roof of the proposed addition will be modified to a hip
and valley roof with a 3.75:12gjtch. Consistent building elements have been
achieved through the utilization of similar architectural features and building
materials of the Mediterranean design style.
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.
4
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2016-07
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 (Dl3MC Section 22.56.040)
1. 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 RL zone. A Minor
Conditional Use Permit (MCUP) is requested to allow a two-story addition to
an existing nonconfon-ning structure with a rear setback of 16 feet, 11 inches
(where 20 feet is required).
The substandard distance from the structure to the rear property line renders
the project nonconforming. The addition of a nonconforming structure requires
approval of a Minor Conditional Use Permit because the addition is not limited
to the ground floor' The proposed two second -story addition consisting of
2,091 square feet of floor area to an existing one-story home complies with -all
other development standards of the RL zone.
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 cons ' istent 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 two-story addition
consisting of 2,091 square feet of floor area will not encroach into the existing
nonconforming rear setback of 16 feet, 11 inches to the rear property line and
will be recessed X -O" from the front fagade of the house with an architectural
projection above the entrance recessed 2'-0" from the front of the house. The
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2016-07
proposed addition will maintain a minimum 20 -foot rear setback. The
proposed design will be modified to a Mediterranean style of architecture,
incorporating- consistent fenestration patterns and matching exterior colors and
building materials. The roof of the proposed addition will be modified to a hip
and valley roof with a 3.75:12 pitch.
Although the home is approximately. 1, 854 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 the proposed second floor area is significantly set
back from the first floor side elevations. The massing of the building is softened
by creating articulation of the front'! fagaide by recessing the second -story
addition approximately X -O" from the garage on the first floor with an
architectural projection above the entrance recessed 2'-0" from the front of the
house. In addition, the placement.of windows breaks up the massing of the
house through articulation of exterior wall surfaces, which results in a less
massive building form. The project is designed to be compatible with and
enhance the character of the existing homes in the neighborhood.
Therefore, due to the manner in which the square footage of the second floor
addition is distributed, the home will not overwhelm the streetscape and the
surroundings from a human scale.
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.
The property is an irregular shaped lot The existing house is situated on a
level pad at the front of the property. 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.
As previously mentioned herein, a portion of the proposed second floor
addition over a portion of the existing attached patio cover at the rear of the
home will not readily impose a line of sight to adjacent properties and
appropriate screening/buffering views to/from adjacent properties is provided.
The proposed addition of floor area is consistent with the development
standards for the RL zone and will not encroach into the existing
nonconforming rear setback.
Additionally, although the home is approximately 1, 854 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 the proposed second floor area is
significantly set back from the first floor side elevations. The massing of the
building is softened by creating articulation of the front fagade by recessing the
second -story addition. The home will maintain a three -car garage with
sufficient off-street parking. There are no physical constraints that prohibit the
use and enjoyment of the property and existing utilities are sufficient to provide
for the proposed addition.

Planning Commission Resolution No. 2016-07
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). s -
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.
Non -Conforming Structures Findings (DBMC Section 22.68.030)
The addition, enlargement, extension, reconstruction, relocation or structural alteration of
the nonconforming structure would not result in the structure becoming:
1. Incompatible with other structures in the neighborhood.
The proposed two-story addition of floor area is consistent with the
development standards for the RL zone, The existing single-family dwelling
and the proposed two-story addition c ' onsisting of 2,091 square feet of floor
area will not encroach into the existing nonconforming rear setback of 16'-11
to the rear property line. The proposed project is located predominantly above
the existing and proposed first floor area of the home. The existing and
proposed use of land is consistent with the surrounding land uses and
structures in the neighborhood. The existing neighborhood was developed
between 1968 and 1979 and complies with Los Angeles County development
standards that governed the area prior to incorporation. Neighboring
properties also have nonconforming setbacks, so the proposed project will
remain consistent with other homes within the neighborhood.
Although the home is approximately 1, 854 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 the proposed second floor area is significantly set
back from the first floor side elevations. The massing of the building is softened
by creating- articulation of the front fagade by recessing the second -story
addition approximately X -O" from the garage on the first floor with an
architectural projection above the entrance recessed 2'-0" from the front of the
house. In addition, the placement of windows breaks up the massing of the
house through articulation of exterior wall surfaces, which results in a less
massive building form.
7
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2016-07
Therefore, due to the manner in which the square footage of the second floor
addition is distributed, the home will not overwhelm the streetscape and the
surroundings from a human scale.
2. Inconsistent with the general plan or 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. A restriction to the eventual/future compliance with the applicable regulations
of this Development Code.
The existing and proposed use of land is consistent with the surrounding land
uses with similar rear setbacks. The proposed addition of floor area is
consistent with the development standards for the RL zone and will not
encroach into the existing nonconforming rear setback.
4. Detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of persons residing in the
neighborhood.
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 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.
5. Detrimental and/or injurious to property and improvements in the
neighborhood.
