At a joint City Council, Planning Commission session on May 1, 1990, the proposed sphere was presented for public hearing. The City Council subsequently adopted a proposed Sphere of Influence for the City. (The attached map depicts the general area that the City wards to be included M its sphere.) The proposal will be forwarded to the Los Angeles County Local Agency Formation Commission for consideration and final action. THE PROPOSED SPHERE AREAS The proposed sphere area includes three subareas. The first area, commonly referred to as the Firestone Boy Scout Camp, lies directly to the south of the City. This area Is bounded by State Route 57 to the west, the San Bernardino County line to the east, the Orange County line to the south, and the City of Diamond Bar to the north. This area which is approximately 3,00 0 acres Is largely undeveloped. Other than State Route 57, the only other major road that presently cuts through this area Is Brea Canyon Road. The second area lies to the west of State Route 57 westward to the property lines that run parallel to Nogales Street. To the north is Pathfinder Road, and to the south is the Orange County line. Placing this area in the City Sphere would permit the City to protect the viewshed from State Route 57, and to apply compatible development standards on both sides of the freeway. Except for some oil fields, this area is largely undeveloped. The third area which is largely developed is the area adjacent to Brea Canyon Cut -Off Road which turns into Diamond Bar Boulevard. R is recommended that the Sphere boundary be at least one block west of Brea Canyon Cut -Off Road to include the commercial developments adjacent to Brea Canyon Cutt-Oft-Road and all the residential developments to the south that feed unto the Road. This will ensure compatibility of uses and standards on both sides of the Road. At the time of incorporation, residents In this area expressed a desire to be considered as part of the City of Diamond Bar. The City would like to explore the possibility of annexing the area in the future. OTHER AREAS OF CONCERN Planning determinations, particularly regarding future demands for Infrastructure facilities and public services cannot be predicted without considering the growth of adjacent communities and the immediate region. When developing its General Plan, the City of Diamond Bar should coordinate with the adjacent cities of Pomona, Industry, Brea, and Lo Habra Heights, as well as with Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties regarding the unincorporated communities of Rowland Heights and the Chino Hills.
