A Minor Conditional Use Permit was requested to allow a second -story addition to an existing non -conforming structure. The subject property is zoned Low - Medium Density Residential (RLM) with an underlying General Plan land use designation of Low Density Residential (RL). Ee. 1809 Cliffbranch Drive Diamond Bar, CA 91765 Huifei Shang 2641 Shady Ridge Lane Diamond Bar, CA 91765 APPLICANT: Jason Bin 9330 Bistro Place Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730 AP/Espino presented staff's report and recommended Planning Commission approval of Development Review No. PL2014-139 based on the Findings of Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed within the resolution. AP/Espino responded to written questions from neighboring residents: 1) Will the property be owner -occupied or rented? The applicant has indicated that the property will be owner -occupied; 2) Concerns about design and construction of the house. As indicated in the presentation, the design will have Mediterranean influences and meet the current standards, and concerns about ornamental features being placed at the front of the home in the front yard area — there are none; 3) how long will the project take and if not finished in a timely manner, what are the remedies? In consultation with Building and Safety staff, there are periodic inspections for this and all types of developments and the project will take about 8 to 10 months from start of construction to final permit signoff. In addition, if the project is not finished in a timely fashion in accordance with timely inspections, fines and further legal remedies can be imposed, if necessary, 4) Will parking on the street be impacted? In consultation with the JULY 22, 2014 PAGE 3 PLANNING COMMISSIOR applicants, they have not yet selected a contractor; however, it is estimated that there will be about 10 crew members working on this project with 2-4 vehicles visiting the site on a daily basis to transport workers. Construction activities are limited to 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday. With respect to safety, staff has conditioned the project to wit that all equipment staging areas shall be located on the project site and that the project site and staging area including material stockpiling and equipment storage area will be enclosed by a six foot high chain link fence and all access points in the fence shall be locked whenever the construction site is not supervised and the sidewalk will remain unobstructed. 5) Does the existing structure have asbestos? The designer indicated that the existing house does not have asbestos and in addition, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) notification is required 10 days prior to any demolition and the contractor must certify that there is no threat of asbestos contamination. Proof of notification is required at permit issuance. C/Low asked about the letter from a neighbor that addressed a slope that slid and asked if those issues were implicated by this project to which AP/Espino responded that based on the proposed project, the extension of five feet to the building pad will be approximately 66 feet away from the rear property line and staff does not anticipate any issues with the extension and the project will be reviewed by the Building and Safety and Public Works staff to make sure it complies with the Code standards. CDD/Gubman further stated that this issue is also addressed in the Conditions of Approval on Pages 12 and 13 of the Draft Resolution. Condition 9 on Page 13 includes the requirement for a soils report to be prepared by a licensed Soils Engineer. If there are any soil stability issues or recommended remediation provided in the soils report, the City's consultant engineer would review the report for adequacy and ensure that those recommendations are incorporated into the development. In short, there are Code requirement to ensure that this site will be brought into a factor of safety in terms of ground stability before building permits would be issued to build the structure. C/Low asked if there were retaining walls in place or contemplated and AP/Espino responded that there is a proposed retaining wall to extend the pad by five feet. C/Lin asked if the City could impose indemnification from one property to another property and AP/Espino said he was not sure that indemnity was the correct term. The Planning Commission is not able to create an enforceable obligation by a third property against the property owner. If one property owner takes action that causes physical damage to another property there are civil legal remedies available and the owner would be JULY 22, 2014 PAGE 4 PLANNING COMMISSION liable if the damage was negligently caused. Adding such a clause in the project Conditions of Approval would have no affect on the third party's ability to recover or not. However, the applicant could be put on notice that there were potential issues. Chair/Farago asked if property upgrades would proceed through the usual engineering channels to make sure there are no future problems to which AP/Espino responded that Chair/Farago's assumption was correct. C/Low asked for confirmation that the answers to the questions were simply for informational purposes to the individuals who presented the letters and provide no warranties of any sort to which AP/Espino responded that C/Low was correct. C/Low asked if the City had the ability to regulate the status of the occupancy (Question 1) and AP/Espino said that his answer was provided for information purposes only. CDD/Gubman further stated that C/Low was correct and that the issue was addressed in staff's report where it says that the owner states that the property will be owner -occupied. At this point the City cannot forbid them from renting it out in the future. The City has restrictions on converting a single family residence into a boarding house where there are multiple rental agreements but renting out the house as a single family residence is not something the City can forbid the property owner from doing. Chair/Farago opened the public hearing. Marilyn Peters, 1769 Cliffbranch Drive, said she was opposed to this project and doubted that the owner would occupy the residence. Within the 1,000 foot radius there are 10 or 11 houses, four of which are rentals including the project site which is not currently owner -occupied. Three others are rentals, two of which are fraternity rentals. At any given time there are 8, 10 or 20 extra cars between those two houses, depending on the type of gathering which brings noise, traffic, etc., to the neighborhood. Across from her house is a boarding house. Simon Cao, speaking on behalf of his wife who owns the house said that his son lives in the house and Mr. Cao and his wife want to update the home for their son for his future. There is no plan to rent the house. Jennifer Kottke, 21409 Running River .Court, said she was very concerned about the project because she has had many issues with homes in the area. On any given night she counts 17-20 cars and people coming and going to and from the fraternity houses throughout the night. She understands there is an attempt to add square footage to the home but believes the intent of JULY 22, 2014 PAGE 5 PLANNING COMMISSION the addition is something other than what has been stated. Her neighborhood is doing everything possible to advocate for families and their children. She recounted several incidents and said she was baffled about why one individual needs a 2800 square foot house. Her home consists of 2300 square feet and serves five family members. She asked for a definition of "Low -Medium Density." Marjorie EI Solo, 1801 Cliff branch Drive, said she lives, next door to the project site and there is only 10 feet between the two houses. She is concerned about people renting their houses out to fraternities and students in her area which brings a lot of traffic to her neighborhood. She wondered why a single person would want to add 1100 square feet to their house. She was also concerned about the loss of view from her daughter's room. Jason Bin, applicant/designer, explained that the client bought this property last year for the view. His client lives in "The Country Estates" and bought this property for their son as a gift. His client will spend $200,000 to $300,000 for this project and would not want to risk that kind of money on a rental. Sam Barns, 1730 Leading Pine Drive, said he was concerned about people violating the City's ordinances when they rent places to multiple unrelated occupants. He asked if Diamond Bar had an ordinance that states single family homes can only be rented to single families and whether the City could impose a condition that this property could not be rented out to multiple unrelated individuals. Chair/Farago asked staff to readdress the ordinance for the project area. CDD/Gubman responded that the City's Development Code in the single family residential zones in which the project site is located, prohibits boarding houses and the definition of a boarding house is a dwelling unit that is rented out under more than one rental agreement and there could be several unrelated persons renting under a single family rental agreement which would be permitted. However, the distinction is that the makeup of the household has to be dictated by the renter, not by the landlord. In other words, the landlord cannot enter into multiple rental agreements. There is a burden of proof that would have to be met to obtain evidence that there are multiple rental agreements in effect for a particular property. If there are several people renting under one rental agreement, related or not, is something that is permitted. Chair/Farago asked if there was a limit to the number of unrelated occupants in a single property and CDD/Gubman PAGE 6 PLANNING COMMISSION responded no. If it is a regular household and not a daycare or boarding house facility, the City is not allowed to look at it differently than a large family. CA/Eggart stated that to clarify, boarding houses are illegal and the renting of separate rooms to separate individuals under separate rental agreements would constitute a boarding house and would not be allowed; however, what the speaker was describing would not be permitted and would be illegal. What the City cannot do is regulate the occupancy under state law and court cases can only enforce occupancy limits based on building code which would technically allow many more people than would ever live in a house. It is not a real enforcement tool and cities have tried but have been struck down by the courts when attempting to enforce occupancy limits. C/Low asked staff to comment on the speaker's request for the definition of "Low Density Residential" and CDD/Gubman responded that it refers to how many dwelling units are permitted per acre and has no correlation to the number of persons per household. C/Low asked if the City allowed boarding houses and CDD/Gubman responded that boarding Douses are allowed only in multi -family zones and this land use requires Conditional Use Permits and business licenses. AP/Espino responded to Mr. Barns' inquiry about monitoring uses that the City's Code Enforcement department responds to homeowner complaints to the best of their ability and tends to investigate alleged violations of the City's Municipal Code. CDD/Gubman cited examples of alleged fraternity houses on Cliffbranch Drive and to find such evidence he contacted CalPoly officials — specifically the University Police and the Office of Greek Life with information he had on names of tenants who lived at the houses and ran license plates of the cars parked on the street to see if there was any correlation or affiliation with those individuals with any Greek organizations. If he was able to find evidence that they were affiliated with a fraternity and they were operating an unsanctioned fraternity house, the City would then have probable cause to enforce the boarding house restriction. Staff found no connection between the individuals renting those units and any college fraternity or organization that would suggest that this is a group home. For lack of evidence, staff could not say that this was simply a house being rented out to several students and the other indication that the household chores are being shared among all members of the household. Other than the problems with the number of vehicles and complaints of partying (one call to the Sheriff's Department) there was no basis for the City to allege JULY 22, 2014 PAGE 7 PLANNING COMMISSION that they were operating as a boarding house rather than as a single household. Simon Cao said he understood everyone's concerns but said it would not make sense to go through an extensive and costly remodel just to rent out the property and have a bunch of kids damage the house. He believes that by having a better house in the neighborhood it would increase the value of the surrounding homes. He reiterated that he and his wife wanted to give their son a better house and would like to have the home available for retirement and enjoy his home and his neighbors. Again, there is no such plan to rent out this house. Jennifer Kottke commented that it is not uncommon for houses to be flipped and sold. She encouraged the City to think about the quality of living. Her street is very busy and has speed bumps. Her children cannot play in the front yard with their bikes because it is too dangerous. There are numerous sub -renters in her neighborhood and she would like for the City to consider a renter code restrictions. Chair/Farago closed the public hearing. Chair/Farago asked if staff could make any recommendations to residents that might help them solve neighborhood issues unrelated to this particular project site. CDD/Gubman said that with respect to traffic, if cars are parked legally on a public street there is not much that can help that situation. The City requires garages to provide space for two vehicles and there is citywide non-compliance with that requirement. Staff could enforce this issue if there was probable cause to inspect garages. Beyond that, there is no solution to offer. If tenants or residents are creating a nuisance or are menacing, residents/neighbors are encouraged to immediately call the Sheriff's Department and they will respond to calls if there is suspicious activity. If there are loud parties and breaking glass, the Sheriff's Department should be called at the very least to build a record for pursuing other enforcement tools. During the past three years there were three calls to the Sheriff's Department, only one of which was for nuisance reasons. If a particular house becomes a drain on public resources that provides more ammunition to deal with the landlords on how they are managing their properties. C/Low said that it was clear that these property owners and residents care very much about their neighborhoods and want them to be safe and pleasant which is why people move to Diamond Sar and remain in the City. She has not heard any evidence about this particular residence and its owner. All of the complaints were about other residences in the 1 L PAGE 8 PLANNING COMMISSION neighborhood. Frankly, she does not see how the Commission can tie other properties tenants' bad behavior to this property owner/tenant. In fact, she has heard no complaints about this property owner and the resident and it would be unfair to consider placing restrictions when nothing untoward has occurred. The property owner is spending a significant amount of money to improve his property which does nothing except to increase the value of that residence. Moreover, no comparison of this project to fraternity houses has been offered. Rather, it appears to be the opposite. Unfortunately, there is no inherent right to a view so no conditions can be applied to that issue. Despite the problems in the neighborhood, those problems are not connected to this property. C/Lin spoke about the responsibilities of the Planning Commission, view issues, and confirmed with CDD/Gubman and AP/Espino the monitoring of the soils conditions. AP/Espino reiterated that there will be a four foot retaining wall built to support the pad and that there is an existing retaining wall at the rear of the pad which will be demolished and replaced by a retaining wall five feet out toward the rear (Section as on the bottom right of Page Al) C/Lin moved, C/Pirritano seconded, to approve Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. PL2014-139, based on the Findings of Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed within the resolution.

Chair/Farago opened the Public Hearing. Ernestina Fleig, property owner and applicant, said that she is moving her mother and possibly her in-laws in the future into the house and to accommodate that move she is requesting this approval of the addition. Chair/Farago closed the public hearing. C/Low said she felt this was a nice addition and was within the scale of the neighborhood. C/Lin said he was happy about what the applicant was doing for her mother. C/Low moved, C/Lin seconded, to approve Development Review No. PL2014-269, based on the Findings of Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed within the resolution.

A Minor Conditional Use Permit was requested to allow a second -story addition to an existing non -conforming structure. The subject property is zoned Low -Medium Density Residential (RLM) with an underlying General Plan land use designation of Low Density Residential (RL). PROJECT ADDRESS: 504 Jon Court Diamond Bar, CA 91765 JULY 22, 2014 PAGE 10 PLANNING COMMISSION PROPERTY OWNER: David D. Siu 9500 Brockway Street EI Monte, CA 91733 APPLICANT: Myung Chung 9040 Telsar Avenue, Suite 105 EI Monte, CA 91731 AP/Espino presented staff's report and recommended Planning Commission approval of Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. PL2014-137, based on the Findings of Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed within the resolution. C/Low asked if there were any special regulations with respect to size, etc., of the shed and AP/Espino responded that the maximum size for a detached shed is 30 percent of the rear yard area. In this case, the shed area of 120 square feet complies with the code. The maximum height is 15 feet and the shed is proposed to be 12 feet. The setbacks are five feet from the rear and side so the shed complies with all of the development standards. Chair/Farago opened the public hearing. Myung Chung, project architect, said he appreciated staff's report. At the beginning of the project he consulted with SP/Lee and confirmed that there were no major issues. The issues are mainly on the side and rear, and the project will maintain the same number of bedrooms while creating more space to make them more comfortable. In addition, the living and dining area will be extended to make those areas more comfortable. The swimming pool was removed to make the rear yard useable and added the shed for storage. He asked for the Commission's approval to move forward with the project. C/Lin asked if the property owner currently resides in the house and Mr. Chung responded that they were waiting for the renovation to be completed prior to moving in and that they were living off-site in the meantime. Bob Runzell, 510 Jon Court, said he was concerned about the south facing part of the new project. The back of his house is the front of their house and he is concerned about upper level windows overlooking his pool and backyard and interrupting his privacy and if the applicant is allowed to install windows, can the applicant plant mature trees to block the view. In addition, when the applicant starts grading the property it will push the land toward his pool because it is within four feet of the wall. He hoped the shared hedge would not be destroyed. He felt that otherwise, it was a very nice upgrade for the neighborhood. Mr. Chung responded to the speaker that they purposely put the closet and bathroom on that side so that no one would be looking down onto the neighbor's property and he will talk with his client about planting screening trees in strategic locations between the properties. As far as the foundation of the project addition, it is 10 feet from the property line and there will be a two -foot foundation and the 45 degree angle will be way below the level of the neighbors swimming pool surcharge line so there should be no problem with the grading. He said he believed the applicant would work with the neighbor to maintain a beneficial relationship and property. Chair/Farago closed the public hearing. C/Low thanked the applicant and speaker for working together and said she believed that if each neighbor planted a tree it would benefit the properties and the community. C/Pirritano moved, C/Low seconded, to approve Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. PL2014-137, based on the Findings of Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed within the resolution.

Benson Avenue, Suite D Upland, CA 91786 AP/Espinoza presented staff's report and recommended Planning Commission approval of Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. PL2010-90, based on the findings of Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed within the resolution. C/Low asked for clarification of the removal of the balconies in the front because they encroach into the front setback and why the balcony on the other side of the door was not slated for removal. AP/Espinoza explained that the balcony on the left side of the door is further set back than the balconies near the garage. C/Low asked about the effect on the design and AP/Espinoza explained that the remaining balcony was included in the new design because it does not encroach into the setback. She spoke with the architect regarding the condition to which he agreed. C/Lin said he counted nine revisions to the upgrades for the home and asked if those were all from the same owner to which AP/Espinoza responded that they were and further stated that part of the reason this project has taken so long to work through is that there was some delay in submitting the retaining walls and the property owners changed their minds about the design of the project and proceeded with several redesigns since 2010. C/Lin said that actually, this project has been in the works since 2006. AP/Espinoza said she acquired this project in 2010 and speaks only for that period of time. C/Lin asked if the retaining wall was built and AP/Espinoza said that when the inspector visited the site, he notice unpermitted grading on the side which prompted staff to require the applicant to build retaining walls so that there would not be any issues with the unpermitted grading. The retaining walls have been constructed. a *AGE 14 PLANNING Chair/Farago opened the public hearing. Architect Pete Volbeda said that he is glad to be getting this design to the next stage of plan check. Initially, he worked on a one-story house and the property owner decided they wanted a two-story house and he redesigned the project for a two-story home. The kitchen and family room portions have been improved under a separate permit. Chair/Farago closed the public hearing. Chair/Farago and C/Pirritano complimented Mr. Volbeda on the design. C/Pirritano move, C/Low seconded, to approve Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit No. PL2010-90, based on the Findings of Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed within the resolution. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: NOES: COMMISSIONERS: ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: Lin, Low, Pirritano, Chair/Farago None VC/Shah C/Lin asked if the fitness center the Commission approved is still under construction and CDD/Gubman responded that it was. There is a trailer in the parking lot taking membership and staff is attempting to keep the signage under control. C/Low thanked staff for helping the Commission work through a difficult agenda. Chair/Farago, C/Lin and C/Pirritano concurred with C/Low. CDD/Gubman stated that the Commission's next meeting is scheduled for August 12 for which there are two items currently on the agenda including a new single family home at 2626 Wagon Train in "The Country Estates" and an addition to an existing residence at 846 Adamsgrove Avenue. L_ � A JULY 22, 2014 PAGE 15 PLANNING COMMISSION CDD/Gubman further stated that in anticipation of the turnout for the Cliffbranch project he asked Lt. Tony Tachias to come to tonight's meeting and observed that after that item concluded (7.1) he hosted a neighborhood meeting in the lobby to hopefully impart to the residents the importance of reporting their observations. The more the Sheriff's Department is called to the area the more teeth it gives them and staff for increased enforcement activity to keep some of the negative behavior quelled. CDD/Gubman reported that the Willow Heights project is moving forward. The mass grading of the site is nearing conclusion which is expected to conclude about the first of August. Crib walls have been installed and have been designed to accommodate plantings and will disappear over time as the landscaping matures and as homes are developed in the foreground. The City Council approved the final design for the park last month as well as, the name for the park which will be "Diamond Canyon" so the park improvement plans will now move forward. There is a committee that includes Commissioner Low and members of staff who will work together with the landscape architect to come up with the landmark entry monument design that is part of the subdivision requirement. CDD/Gubman said that the Grand Avenue Beautification Project design components were green lighted by the City Council and construction documents have been submitted to CalTrans. Staff is looking at a construction start date immediately following the holidays in the new year for the intersections of Grand Avenue and Diamond Bar Boulevard, and Grand Avenue and Longview Drive moving forward with flat work, landscaping, street furnishings and other aesthetic upgrades including replacing the signal masts with decorative fixtures. In addition, the new streetscape design elements will be introduced at Diamond Bar Boulevard and Brea Canyon Road as part of the Willow Heights project as well as, inclusion of some of the features incorporated into the frontage of the Willow Heights project. As a follow up to the project, staff is working with its consultants to develop a streetscape design manual so that all future developments and key intersections will include these key designs as money and projects become available. Finally, this process may lead to a streetscape master plan as part of the City's General Plan so that the City eventually comes up with a streetscape framework to give Diamond Bar an identity. CDD/Gubman updated the Commission on the status of the Shell Station project which is moving forward with some bureaucratic impediment. The current owner has signed 7 -Eleven and 7 -Eleven has certain criteria for JULY 22, 2014 PAGE 16 PLANNING COMMISSION parking spaces at the front door of the station which was not previously anticipated and requires reconfiguration of the design. The City and Health Department approved all of the plans for the Walmart Neighborhood Market. Demolition permits were issued for the foundation and the work has begun. When building permits are pulled for tenant improvements, the plans are signed and stamped and ready to go and opening is scheduled for March/April 2015. CDD/Gubman said that in addition to the above projects, staff is close to signing an agreement with the center to have the City take control of the windmill through an easement agreement in order to produce the monument in perpetuity, upgrade the interpretive plaque and information as well as, other furnishings around the windmill. It is staff's hope that this will provide an introduction to the modernization and refreshing of the City's streetscapes. C/Low asked if the East 180 property had been released. CDD/Gubman responded that staff issued a business license yesterday for a Japanese Fusion restaurant which should be opening soon. C/Pirritano said that Diamond Bar needs a good Italian restaurant and C/Low agreed. Chair/Farago said it appeared that the new tire store was struggling with their grading. CDD/Gubman responded that unfortunately, they found contamination from the gas station that previously occupied the site and the remediation was not sufficient to close the site for further development and they are working through the process to get the site free of contaminates to a sufficient degree for sign off for the reuse of the property. C/Pirritano asked if there was movement on the Honda site and CDD/Gubman explained that the City has contracted with Kosmont & Associates, an economic development consultant to help market the site and work with the property owner and the City has purchased ad space in trade publications that will be published in August to promote the site for hotel development. As listed in tonight's agenda.

The addition complies with the minimum 15 -foot distance requirement from the home on the adjacent lot to the south and does not further encroach into the existing 11'-10" distance to the structure on the adjacent property to the north.

The following approvals are requested from the Planning Commission: (a) Development Review to construct a fagade remodel and a two-story addition consisting of 1,690 square feet of floor area including a 925 square -foot first floor addition and a 765 square -foot second floor addition at the rear of the home and 394 square feet of patio/deck area. (b) Minor Conditional Use Permit (MCUP) to allow a second -story addition to an existing nonconforming structure with a front setback of 13'-5" (where 20 feet is required), side setbacks of 5'-5" to the north side property line and five feet to the south side property line (where 10 feet is required on one side and five feet on the other), and nonconforming distances to the structures on the adjacent lots of 11'-6" to the structure to the south and 11'-10" to the structure to the north (where 15 feet is required). Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Development Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit shall be referred to as the "Proposed Project." 3. The subject property is made up of one parcel totaling 8,450 gross square feet (0.19 gross acres). It is located in the Low Medium Density Residential (RLM) zone with an underlying General Plan land use designation of Low Medium Density Residential. 4. The legal description of the subject property is Lot 14 of Tract 25856. The Assessor's Parcel Number is 8760-017-014. 5. On August 1, 2014, notification of the public hearing for this project was published in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune and the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspapers. On July 31, 2014, public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within a 500 -foot radius of the Project site. Public notices were posted at the City's designated community posting sites on August 1, 2014. In addition to the published and mailed notices, the project site was posted with a display board and the notice was posted at three other locations within the project vicinity. 6. On August 12, 2014, the Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar conducted a duly noticed public hearing, solicited testimony from all interested individuals, and concluded said hearing on that date. 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, 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 and 22.56, this Planning Commission hereby finds as follows: 2 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2014 -XX 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 fagade remodel and two-story addition consisting of 1, 690 square feet of floor area and 394 square feet of patio/balcony area to the existing single family residence is consistent with the City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines and development standards by meeting all required setbacks except the front setback due to an existing nonconforming front setback of 15 feet where 20 feet is required; side setbacks of five feet on the south side and 5'-5" on the north side, where five feet is required on one side and 10 feet on the other side; and nonconforming distances to the structures on the adjacent lots of 11'-10" to the north and 11'-6" to the south where 15 feet is required. The addition is proposed at the rear of the residence. The proposed addition does not further encroach into the front and side setbacks or the distance to the structures on the adjacent lots. In addition, the applicant is proposing to update the colors and materials of the fagade to match the modern architecture of the proposed addition at the rear of the home, but will be retaining the existing architectural and building form. 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. 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. 3 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2014 -XX The architecture of the existing residence is a 1960s tract design with decorative half-timbering, stucco, and a Dutch gable roof with flat concrete tiles. The applicant is proposing to retain the existing building form and preserve the architectural form of the other houses in the neighborhood, but is introducing a modern and innovative design by transitioning from the original architecture at the front of the house to a modern architectural style at the rear of the house. 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 design of the existing single-family home is 1960s tract home. The applicant is proposing to retain the existing building form and preserve the architectural form of the other houses in the neighborhood, but is introducing a modern and innovative design by transitioning from the original architecture at the front of the house to the modern architectural style of the addition at the rear of the house. The two-story addition is proposed to be located to the east (rear) side of the existing residence, setback 67 feet, 3 inches from the rear property line. The addition complies with the minimum 15 -foot distance requirement from the home on the adjacent lot to the south and does not further encroach into the existing 11'- 10" distance to the structure on the adjacent property to the north, and therefore, the addition will not negatively affect the adjacent neighbors. 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. 4 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2014 -XX 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 an existing nonconforming structure with a front setback of 13'- 5" (where 20 feet is required), side setbacks of 5'-5" to the north side property line and five feet to the south side property line (where 10 feet is required on one side and five feet on the other), and nonconforming distances to the structures on the adjacent lots of 11'-6" to the structure to the south and 11 '-10" to the structure to the north (where 15 feet is required). The substandard distance from the structure to the front and side property lines and the distance to the structures on the adjacent lots 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 1,690 square feet of floor area and 394 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 front and side setbacks or the distance between structures on adjacent lots. 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 1,690 square feet of floor area and 394 square feet of patio/balcony area will not further encroach into the existing nonconforming front setback of 13'-5" feet to the front property line, 5'-5" to the north side property line and five feet to the south property line, and nonconforming distances to the structures on the adjacent lots of 11 '-6" to the structure to the south and 11'-10" to the structure to the north. The proposed project is located at the rear of the home. 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 there will not be any additions or changes to the roof style at the front of the house. 5 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2014 -XX In addition, the applicant is proposing 12 to 18 -foot tall bamboo along both side property lines to create a visual buffer and screening due to any potential privacy concerns that may arise because of the proposed second story balconies. 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 and will not further encroach into the existing nonconforming front and side setbacks or the distance to the structures on the adjacent lots. The addition is located at the rear of the house where it will not be visible from the street and there are no additions or changes to the roof style at the front of the house. 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 properfy 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. 6 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2014 -XX The Planning Commission shall: a.

Zane, have filed an application for Development Review No. PL2014-328 to construct a 1,782 square -foot, two-story addition to an existing one-story home located at 1004 Park Spring Lane, Diamond Bar, County of Los Angeles, California. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Development Review shall be referred to as the "Proposed Project." 2. The subject property is made up of one parcel totaling 12,118 gross square feet (0.28 gross acres). It is located in the Low Medium Density Residential (RLM) zone with an underlying General Plan land use designation of Low Density Residential. 3. The legal description of the subject property is Lot 54 of Tract 33182. The Assessor's Parcel Number is 8701-026-012. 4. On August 1, 2014, notification of the public hearing for this project was published in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune and the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspapers. On July 31, 2014, public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within a 500 -foot radius of the Project site. Public notices were posted at the City's designated community posting sites on July 31, 2014. In addition to the published and mailed notices, the project site was posted with a display board and the notice was posted at three other locations within the project vicinity. 5. On August 12, 2014, the Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar conducted a duly noticed public hearing, solicited testimony from all interested individuals, and concluded said hearing on that date. 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)(2) (additions to existing structures not resulting in an increase of more than 10,000 square feet) 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) Section 22.48, 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 two-story addition consisting of 1, 782 square feet to the existing single-family residence is consistent with the City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines and development standards, including setbacks, height, and lot coverage. The two-story addition is proposed to be located to the north and west (front) sides of the existing residence, setback approximately 38 feet from the north side property line, and maintaining existing setbacks to the front and rear of the house. Also, the addition complies with the minimum 15 -foot distance requirement from the home on the adjacent lots to the north and south. The proposed addition will maintain architectural consistency of the existing design throughout the exterior elevations by matching colors, architectural elements, and exterior finish materials of the existing residence. 2 DR PL2014-328 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. 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 existing house was constructed as part of a 1970s tract development. The applicant is proposing a two-story addition at the north and west (front) sides of an existing one-story home. The proposed design will maintain architectural integrity by incorporating similar fenestration patterns, and matching exterior colors and building materials. The roof of the proposed addition will match the existing 4:12 gabled roof pitch. The two-story addition will be setback 49 feet from the adjacent house to the north, and not further encroach into the existing 22 -foot front setback. Also, the adjacent property to the north is at a higher pad level, approximately 14 feet above the pad level of the subject property. Therefore, given the distance and above height differential to the adjacent property to the north, the addition and balcony on the north side of the house will not impose a privacy concern. The mass and scale of the addition at the north and west (front) sides of the home is proportionate to the existing house, and is designed to be compatible and complementary to 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 3 DR PL2014-328 through good aesthetic use of materials, texture, color, and will remain aesthetically appealing. The architecture of the existing residence is a 1970s tract home with a contemporary design featuring a composite shingle roof and a sand textured stucco wall finish. The proposed addition will maintain architectural integrity of the design style by incorporating fenestration patterns, exterior colors.and building materials to match 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)(2) (additions to existing structures not resulting in an increase of more than 10,000 square feet) 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: 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. 4 DR PL2014-328 The Planning Commission shall: a. Certify to the adoption of this Resolution; and b.

The proposed project requires Planning Commission review and approval of a Developmel Review application. 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 RLM zone: Development Review No. PL 2014-387 Page 5 of 7 Site and Grading Configuration: house is situated on a level pad with a varying one to 20 -foot wide ascending slope at the east side of the property. The grade differential between the pad and top of slope at the east side property line is approximately 10 feet. The proposed two-story addition will be added to the south side of the house, at the rear of the residence. Grading will be limited to the foundation for the proposed addition. Architectural Features, Colors, and Materials: The architecture of the existing residence is a 1970s tract design, with a composite shingle roof and a sand textured stucco exterior wall finish. The proposed design will maintain architectural integrity by incorporating similar fenestration patterns, and m ' atching exterior colors and building materials. The roof of the proposed addition will match the existing 4:12 hipped roof pitch. The mass and scale of the addition at the rear of the home is proportionate to the existing house. Landscaping: Landscape plans are not required because the site is already developed, and because the project is exempt from the City's Water Conservation Landscaping Ordinance. The ordinance would only apply if 5,000 square feet or more of the existing landscaped area was being altered. However, landscaping that is damaged during construction, and not part of the project, 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_becompathle_with and enhance the character of the existing homes in the neighborhood. The two-story addition is proposed to be located to the south (rear) side of the existing residence, setback 25 feet, 6 inches from the rear property line. Also, the addition complies with the minimum 15 -foot distance requirement from the homes on the adjacent lots to the west and east, therefore, the addition will not negatively affect the adjacent neighbors. Furthermore, the addition will be compatible with other two-story homes in the immediate vicinity and. incorporate appealing architectural features to complement the aesthetic appeal visible from the street. Therefore, the addition will be visually integrated into the existing home and not negatively impact the look and character of the neighborhood. - addition is designed to minimize the negative impacts on • • • homes. transition between the project an• adjacent properties is achi- -• through appropriate forms,The proposed building addition is visually integrated with the primary structure by using similar • • andmaterials; Development Review No. PL 2014-387 Page 6 of 7 Window type and dimensions, and other architectural features, such as window trims, wood fascia, sand textured stucco wall finish complement the design of the structure� • PublicThe orks Department and Building and Safety Divisio-n- - r• this project, and their comments are included in the attached resolution as conditions of approval.

Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Development Review shall be referred to as the "Proposed Project." 2. The subject property is made up of one parcel totaling 9,120 gross square feet (0.21 gross acres). It is located in the Cow Medium Density Residentiei (RLM) zone with an underlying General Plan land use designation of Low Density Residential. 3. The legal description of the subject property is Lot 73 of Tract 33182. The Assessor's Parcel Number is 8701-026-032. 4. On August 1, 2014, notification of the public hearing for this project was published in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune and the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspapers. On July 31, 2014, public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within a 500 -foot radius of the Project site. Public notices were posted at the City's designated community posting sites on July 31, 2014. In addition to the published and mailed notices, the project site was posted with a display board and the notice was posted at three other locations within the project vicinity. 5. On August 12, 2014, the Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar conducted a duly noticed public hearing, solicited testimony from all interested individuals, and concluded said hearing on that date. J1 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, Section 15301 (e)(2) (additions to existing structures not resulting in an increase of more than 10,000 square feet) 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) Section 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 two-story addition consisting of 1, 736 square feet to the existing single-family residence is consistent with the City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines and development standards, including setbacks, height, and lot coverage. The two-story addition is proposed to be located to the south (rear) side of the existing residence, setback 25 feet, 6 inches from the rear property line. Also, the addition complies with the minimum 15 -foot distance requirement from the home on the adjacent lot to the west. The proposed addition will maintain architectural consistency of the existing design throughout the exterior elevations by matching colors, architectural elements, and exterior finish materials of the existing residence. The project site is not part of any theme area, specific plan, community plan, boulevard or planned development. 2 DR PL2014-387 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. 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 existing house was constructed as part of a 1970s tract development. The applicant is proposing a two-story addition at the rear of an existing one-stc ry home: The proposed -design will maintain architecturW-integrify by incorporating similar fenestration patterns, and 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 at the rear of the home is proportionate to the existing house, and is designed to be compatible and complementary to 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 4aesthetically appealing. The architecture of the existing residence is a 1970s tract home with a contemporary design featuring a composite shingle roof and a sand textured stucco wall finish. The proposed addition will maintain architectural integrity of the design style by incorporating fenestration patterns, exterior colors and building materials to match 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 DR PL2014-387 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)(2) (additions to existing structures not resulting in an increase of more than 10,000 square feet) of the CEQA guidelines.

A protected tree is any of the following: Native oak, walnut, sycamore and willow trees with a diameter at breast height ("DBH", above ground of eight • inches or greater; a Trees of significant historical or value as designated by the council; ® An tree re uired preserved or relocated as a condition of–app- r-oval–for a discretionary permit; Any tree required to be planted as a condition of approval for a discretionary permit; and ® A stand of trees, the nature of which makes each tree dependent upon the others for survival. The Development Code requires the preservation and maintenance of native oak and walnut trees with a DBH of eight inches or greater. When removal is allowed as a result of new development, replacement trees shall be planted at a 3:1 ratio in residential lots greater than 20,000 square feet. There are approximately 32 native protected trees on site. The applicant is proposing to remove 12 protected trees—six California Live Oaks, one Canyon Oak, and five Black Walnut trees—and replace them with 36 minimum 24 -inch box California Black Walnut, Sycamore, and Coast Live Oak trees at a 3:1 ratio to accommodate the new home and the rear buildable pad (see tree survey on the following page). The rear portion of the site contains 20 protected Coast Live Oak and Slack Walnut trees, but will not be disturbed since construction activity will not occur in close proximity to this area. A total of 71 new trees will be planted on the site. Development Review and Tree Permit No. PL 2014-301 Page 8 of 11 Figure 6: Tree Survey Le end Protected trees to be removed -- Property line The applicant submitted an arboriculture report that indicates 16 protected trees—ranging from poor to good condition—exist within the construction area of the property. The removal of 12 of the protected trees and replanting of 36 protected species complies with the required minimum tree replacement ratio of 3:1. Therefore, it is not anticipated that the removal of the 12 protected trees and replacement of 36 minimum 24 -inch box trees will be detrimental to the overall contribution of natural vegetation of protected or non -protected tree species. To protect the remaining protected trees during construction, a condition of approval has been added to require chain link fencing to be installed to keep construction activity, equipment and materials at least five feet away from the native vegetation area, at the limits of the grading/construction area. A condition of approval requiring site verification prior to grading activity has been added to ensure this. The proposed project was reviewed for compliance with the City's Hillside Management Design Guidelines • regulations.project complies- regulations and guidelines to heightensure that development will complement the character and topography of hillside areas set forth in the Development Code.

In addition to the published and mailed notices, the project site was posted with a display board and the notice was posted at three other locations within the project vicinity. 6. On August 12, 2014, the Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar conducted a duly noticed public hearing, solicited testimony from all interested individuals, and concluded said hearing on that date. 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 (a) (new construction of a single-family residence) of the CEQA Guidelines. Therefore, no further environmental review is required. Based on the findings and conclusions set forth herein and as—presicribied—ander Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Sections 22.48 and 22.38, this Planning Commission hereby finds as follows: Development Review Findings (DBMC Section 22.48.0401 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 single-family residence consisting of 10, 730 square feet of floor area; 1, 261 square -foot garage, 2,254 square feet of balcony/patio areas, and a 576 square -foot gazebo is consistent with the City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines and development standards by meeting all required setbacks and building height. A gradual transition between the project and adjacent uses is achieved through appropriate setbacks, building height, landscaping, and window and door placement. The proposed new single-family residence incorporates various details and architectural elements such as stone veneer, travertine stone tiles, wrought iron, precast concrete moldings, trims, and balustrades, low pitched hipped roof lines, arched entrance with porte cochere, and appropriate massing and proportion to meet the intent of the City's Design Guidelines. 2 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2014 -XX 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 new single-family residence 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 proposed single-family house 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 exceeds the minimum number of required off-street parking spaces. 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 architectural style of the home to contemporary Mediterranean. The single- family—hom,--is design_r to _be_comtibLe�with the character of the eclectic neighborhoods in The Country Estates. The contemporary Mediterranean design includes features such as low pitched hipped roof, stone veneer, travertine stone tiles, precast concrete moldings and trims, and integration with the natural landscape using split pads to step up the natural slope of the property. In addition, complementary wall materials are used to distinguish breaks in plane and add articulation to maintain and enhance the harmonious development in 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 proposed design of the single-family home is contemporary Mediterranean. Variation in the building elements has been achieved through the utilization of attractive architectural features, building materials, and landscaping. Earth -tone shades for the exterior finish are used to soften the building's visual impact and assist in preserving the hillside's aesthetic value. Also, landscaping is integrated into the site to complement the massing of the house and blend in with neighboring homes and the natural environment of the site in order to maintain a desirable environment. 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; and 3 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2014 -XX 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.

Preservation of the trees is not feasible and would compromise the property owner's reasonable use and enjoyment of property or surrounding land and appropriate mitigation measures will be implemented in compliance with DBMC Section 22.38.130 (Tree replacement/relocation standards) below. There are approximately 32 protected trees on the property. Of the 32 protected trees, the applicant is proposing to remove 12 of the trees—six Coast Live Oaks, one CanyonOak, and five Black I-Valnuts—located within the construction/grading area. The preservation of these 12 trees is not feasible because it would compromise the design and construction of the project. The applicant is proposing to replace the 12 trees with 36 minimum 24 -inch box Coast Live Oak, Black Walnut and Sycamore trees meeting the minimum required 3:1 ratio for replacement of protected trees. The planting of 36 new protected species and additional 35 non -protected species with a total of 71 new trees will provide sufficient replacement of the natural landscape. 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. Prior to building permit issuance, the required landscape plan shall be designed to meet the requirements of the Los Angeles County Fire Department's Fuel Modification Plan Guidelines, in terms of plant selection, placement and maintenance.
