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, 22.56, and 22.68 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 1,490
square feet of floor 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, with the exception to an existing
nonconforming west side setback of six feet, where 10 feet is required, and
2 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2016-12
nonconforming distance to the structure on the adjacent lot to the east of 13'-9",
where 15 feet is required. The addition is located at the rear 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. The addition is proposed at the rear of the house and does not
further encroach into the nonconforming west side setback of six feet and
nonconforming distance to the structure on the adjacent lot to the east of 13'-9".
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 1960s ranch style tract design with stucco, stone
veneer along the front elevation and the entire height of the chimney, and asphalt
roof shingles on a Dutch -gabled roof. The addition is located at the rear of the
house. The applicant is also proposing to enhance the front elevation by creating
a gabled entry feature and adding corbels to the eaveline. The building exterior
will be further enhanced through the introduction of concrete shake the roofing
with a variegated color blend in lieu of the current asphalt shingle roofing.
Furthermore, the addition will match the existing home in color and building
materials, such as stucco and stone veneer. 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.
The existing architecture is a 1960s ranch style tract design with stucco, stone
veneer along the front elevation and the entire height of the chimney, and asphalt
roof shingles on a Dutch -gabled roof. The applicant is retaining the existing
building form, but is proposing changes to the front fagade, including relocating
the chimney, adding a porcom ttheight of the existing house f16 feet to 19 feet, and changing the roof material
3 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2016-12
from asphalt shingle to concrete tile. 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 RL zone. A Minor
Conditional Use Permit (MCUP) is requested to allow an addition over 50 percent
of the existing square -footage to a nonconforming structure with a preexisting six-
foot west side setback (where 10 feet is required) and nonconforming distance of
I3'-9" to the structure on the adjacent lot to the east (where 15 feet is required).
The preexisting substandard west side setback and distance to the structure on
the adjacent property to the east 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. The
proposed addition consisting of 1, 490 square feet of floor area to an existing one-
story home complies with the development standards of the RL zone and will not
further encroach into the nonconforming west side setback and distance to the
structure on the adjacent lot to the east
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.
4 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2016-12
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
1,490 square feet of floor area will not further encroach into the existing
nonconforming six-foot west side setback and distance of I3'-9" to the structure
on the adjacent lot to the east. The proposed one-story addition is located at rear
of the house. 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 the applicant is proposing to retain the existing building
form. Therefore, the addition will ' be visually integrated into the existing home
and not negatively impact the look and character of 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.
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 RL zone and will not further
encroach into the existing nonconforming side setback to the west or
nonconforming distance to the structure on the adjacent lot to the east.
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.
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.
5 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2016-12
The proposed one-story addition of floor area is consistent with the development
standards for the RL zone. The existing single-family dwelling and the proposed
addition consisting of 1,490 square feet of floor area will comply with current
development standards and not further encroach into the existing nonconforming
side setback of six feet to the west side property line and distance of I3'-9" to the
structure on the adjacent lot to the east. The proposed project is located at the
rear of the existing home. The existing and proposed land use is consistent with
the surrounding land uses and structures in the neighborhood. Additionally, the
neighboring properties also have nonconforming setbacks, so the proposed
project will remain consistent with other homes within the neighborhood.
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 land use is consistent with the surrounding land uses
with similar side 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 west side setback or distance to the structure on the adjacent lot
to the east.
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.
The addition to the existing single-family dwelling unit will be constructed in a
manner similar with existing dwelling units located in the surrounding community
and will not be detrimental and/or injurious to property and improvements in the
neighborhood.
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.
