Diamond Bar shall be divided into zoning districts which implement the general plan. The zoning districts shown in Table 2-1 are established, and shall be shown on the official zoning map (section 22.06.030).

TABLE 2-1 ZONING DISTRICTS

(Ord. No. 02(1998), § 2, 11-3-98; Ord. No. 06(2013), § 3(Exh. A), 9-3-13; Ord. No. 07(2013), § 3(Exh. A), 9-17-13; Ord. No. 01(2014), § B.4, 2-4-14)

The council hereby adopts the City of Diamond Bar Zoning Map (hereafter referred to as the "zoning map"), which is on file with the department.

(1) Inclusion by reference. The zoning map, together with all legends, symbols, notations, references, zoning district boundaries, and other information on the maps, has been adopted by the council in compliance with Government Code § 65800 et seq., and is hereby incorporated into this Development Code by reference as though it were fully included herein.

(2) Zoning district boundaries. The boundaries of the zoning districts established by section 22.06.020 (Zoning districts established) shall be shown upon the zoning map.

(3) Relationship to general plan. The zoning map shall implement the general plan, specifically including the land use map.

(4) Map amendments. Amendments to the zoning map shall follow the process established in chapter 22.70 (General Plan, Development Code, and Zoning Map Amendments).

(5) Zoning map interpretation. The zoning map shall be interpreted in compliance with section 22.04.020(g) (Rules of interpretation—Zoning map boundaries).

(Ord. No. 02(1998), § 2, 11-3-98)

(a) Purpose. Chapters 22.08 through 22.14 determine which land uses are allowed in each zoning district established by section 22.06.020 (zoning districts established), what land use entitlement is required to establish each use, and the basic development standards that apply to allowed land uses in each zoning district.

(b) Zoning consistency matrix. Subsequent to the adoption of this Development Code, the City of Diamond Bar's zoning map shall be revised to reflect consistency with the general plan land use map. In the interim period, until the revised map is adopted by the council, the Zoning Consistency Matrix (Table 2-2) is adopted applying equivalent Development Code standards to the city's existing zoning districts.

(c) Determination of allowable land uses and permit requirements. The uses of land allowed by this Development Code in each zoning district are identified in Tables 2-3, 2-5, 2-6 and 2-8 of this chapter as being:

(1) Permitted subject to compliance with all applicable provisions of this Development Code, subject to first obtaining a zoning clearance (chapter 22.46), and any building permit or other permit required by the Municipal Code. These are shown as "P" uses in the tables;

(2) Allowed subject to the approval of a minor conditional use permit (chapter 22.56), and shown as "MUP" uses in the tables;

(3) Allowed subject to the approval of a conditional use permit (chapter 22.58), and shown as "CUP" uses in the tables;

Land uses that are not listed in the tables or are not shown in a particular zoning district are not allowed, except as otherwise provided by section 22.04.020(h) (Rules of interpretation—Allowable uses of land), or section 22.02.030 (Exemptions from development and land use approval requirements).

(d) Standards for parcels with multiple zoning districts. The following standards apply to the proposed development or subdivision of parcels that are or may be designated with more than one zoning district:

(1) Existing parcel in multiple zoning districts. Where an existing parcel is zoned in two or more zoning districts, each portion of the parcel in a separate district shall be developed/used in compliance with the requirements of the applicable district.

(2) Parcels proposed for consolidation. Where a lot line adjustment or tentative map application proposes the consolidation of two or more parcels, so that a single parcel would be covered by two or more zoning districts, the application for adjustment or map approval shall be accompanied by an application for rezoning the lot into a single zoning district, in compliance with chapter 22.70 (General Plan, Development Code, and Zoning Map Amendments).

(e) Conflicts between provisions. Rules for resolving conflicts between different Development Code provisions may be found in section 22.04.020(f) (Rules of interpretation—Conflicting requirements).
