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

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)
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 one-story addition consisting of
1,121 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 of an existing nonconforming north side setback of T-4", where
10 feet is required, and nonconforming distance to the structure on the adjacent
2 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2016-18
lot of 12'4" to the north, 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 continues
the same building setback line as the existing house. The addition does not
further encroach into the nonconforming north side setback of 7'-4" and
nonconforming distance to the structure on the adjacent lot of 12'-4" to the
north.
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 and
composition shingles on a gabled roof. The applicant is proposing to retain the
existing building form and will match the existing roof style, pitch and materials.
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 home with stucco and
composition shingles on a gabled roof. The applicant is proposing to retain the
existing building form and will match the existing roof style, pitch and materials.
The single -story addition is located at the rear 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.
3 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2016-18
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 an addition over
50 percent of the existing square footage to a nonconforming structure with a
preexisting side setback of 7'4" to the north (where 10 feet is required) and
nonconforming distance of I2'-4" to the structure on the adjacent lot to the north
(where 15 feet is required).
The preexisting substandard north side setback and distance between
structures on the adjacent lot 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 1,121 square feet of floor area to an
existing one-story home complies with the development standards of the RLM
zone. The proposed addition maintains the same building setback line of the
existing house.
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. 2016-18
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
1,121 square feet of floor area will not further encroach into the existing
nonconforming P-4" north side setback or nonconforming I2'-4" distance to the
adjacent structure to the north. The design of the proposed addition is
compatible with the existing house and will not have an impact on privacy as it
maintains the same building setback line of the existing house.
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 RLM zone with the
exception of an existing nonconforming north side setback of 7'4". where
10 feet is required, and nonconforming distance to structures on the adjacent lot
of 12'4' to the north, where 15 feet is required.
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.
5 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2016-18
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 one-story addition of floor area is consistent with the
development standards for the RLM zone. The existing single-family dwelling
and the proposed addition consisting of 1,121 square feet of floor area will
comply with current development standards and not further encroach into the
existing nonconforming side setback of 7'4" to the north side property line or
nonconforming I2'-4" distance to the adjacent structure to the north. The
design of the proposed addition is compatible with the existing house, continues
the same building setback line of the existing house, and will not have an
impact on privacy.
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 and distances to adjacent structures, 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 RLM zone with the exception
of an existing nonconforming north side setback of 7' 4", where 10 feet is
required, and nonconforming distance to structures on adjacent lots of 12'4' to
the north, where 15 feet is required. The structures on the adjacent lot to the
north and the subject property are legal nonconforming.
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.
6 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2016-18
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:
1 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.
