and
2. ThePlanning Commission hereby determines the Project to be
Categorically Exempt from the provisions of the California

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
2 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2016-22
(e.g., theme areas, specific plans, community plans, boulevards or
planned developments).
The design and layout of the proposed two-story addition consisting of
807 square feet of floor area with an attached 87 square -foot balcony to
an existing single-family residence is consistent with the City's General
Plan, City Design Guidelines and development standards by complying
with a// required setbacks, with the exception of existing nonconforming
west side setback of 9'-2" (where 10 feet is required). The addition is
located at the front of the existing house, just above the garage.
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. Although the addition is proposed
at the front of the house, it Continues the same building setback line as
the existing house.
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
conternplated 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 1970s tract design with textured 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. Furthermore, the project is located between two-
story homes on each side. As Such, the addition will be visually
integrated into the existing home and not negatively impact the look and
character of the neighborhood. Although the addition may create views
towards the rear of the east property, the adjacent property has an
existing patio cover and landscaping that obstruct views towards the
3 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2016-22
rear yard. There is also a window on the east elevation that will be
facing an existing second story window on the neighbor's house.
However, the structures are 21'-6" apart which is more than the
required 15 -foot distance separation. Additionally, the applicant has
obtained a letter from the property owners at 1452 Indian Well Drive
(adjacent property to the east). The letter states that the owners do not
object to the proposed addition.
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.
Although the proposed addition is at the front of the existing house, the
front setback will remain the same and the addition is designed to
create articulation with varying wall planes with the placement of
windows and a small balcony. The proposed addition will use the same
Stucco material to match the existing house. The proposed roof will
match the existing roof style, 4:12 pitch, and materials. Therefore, the
proposed addition will preserve the architectural integrity of the existing
construction by matching exterior colors and building materials.
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.
4 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2016-22
Minor Conditional Use Permit Findings. (DBMC 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 RLM zone.
A Minor Conditional Use Permit (MCUP) is requested to allow all
addition that is not limited to the ground floor to a nonconforming
structure with preexisting west side setback of 9'-2" (where 10 feet is
required).
The preexisting substandard side setback 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 addition consisting of
807 square feet of floor area with an attached 87 square -foot balcony 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.
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 807 square feet of floor area with an attached 87 square -foot balcony
will not further encroach into the existing nonconforming west side
setback of 9'-2". The design of the proposed addition is compatible with
the existing house and will not have an impact on privacy as it
maintains the sarne building setback line of the existing house.
Although the addition may create views towards the rear of the east
property, the adjacent property has an existing patio cover and
landscaping that hinder views towards the rear yard. There is also a
window on the east elevation that will be facing an existing second story
window on the neighbor's house. However, the structures are 21'-6"
apart which is more than the required 15 -foot distance separation.
Additionally, the applicant has obtained a letter from the property
5 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2016-22
owners at 1452 Indian Well Drive (adjacent property to the east). The
letter states that the owners do not object to the proposed addition.
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 proposed addition is located just above the
existing garage. There are many homes in the neighborhood with
similar second -story addition above the garage. 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 the existing
nonconforming west side setback of 9'-2".
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:
