LEMON AVENUE, DIAMOND BAR. THE MEETING WAS CALLED TO ORDER BY MAYOR PAPEN AT 6:10 P.M. PRESENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: Papen, Horcher, Werner, Miller, Forbing ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: None 1. PROPOSED PARCEL MAP IN RESIDENTIAL UNITS LOCATED AT APPROXIMATELY DIAMOND BAR BLVD. AND BREA CANYON ROAD - SITE D: The City Manager explained that the applicant, walnut Valley Unified School District, would make a presentation for development guidelines but that binding approval for the development would be made by the County of Los Angeles. Harvey Grimshaw, Assistant Superintendent of Schools, Walnut Valley Unified School District, stated that the property consists of 28+ acres at the southern end of the District and was originally scheduled to be developed as a middle school. This site was later found to be out of the flow of the development of the School District. Brad Hilgren, Lowe Development Co., described the project as consisting of 94 single family homes with lot sizes averaging over 10,000 sq. ft. Ken Neimeier, McLaren, Vasques & Partners, stated that the proposal for construction and landscaping would result in a project well -buffered from other developments in the area. Brad Hilgren explained that a second access to the development could be provided at Pasado Drive but because the development is proposed to contain less than 150 units, a second access is not required by law. Mayor Pro Tem Horcher requested information regarding the proposed distances between the homes roof -to -roof. Mr. Hilgren stated that the minimum distance between roofs on the sideyards would be 15 feet. DIAMOND BAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 25, 1989 Page 2 During discussion, the City Council expressed concerns regarding the following: 1. Property setbacks 2. Access to the development from Diamond Bar Blvd. and possible "stacking" of cars on the street attempting to gain access 3. Sizes of the homes built on pads that are less than 6,000 sq. ft. 4. Maintenance of the slopes to be included in the landscape maintenance district 5. Inclusion of a landmark or monument for Diamond Bar to replace the Transamerica landmark that blew down 6. Maintenance of landscaping on Diamond Bar Blvd. medians to Brea Canyon Road 7. Noise attenuation 8. Exterior walls to the public right-of-way to be decorative 9. Proposed gating of the community suggests an "estate" concept when this development is not meant to be estates 10. Wrought -iron fencing around the development enhanced by full landscaping rather than a block wall type treatment closing off the community It was agreed that Lowe Development Co. would work with the City Attorney in preparing a development agreement and with Los Angeles County Regional Planning regarding this project. 2. DEVELOPER City Manager stated that the Environmental Impact Reports on the Community Plan had been received from the County. All three documents are now in staff's possession and copies will be sent to all 30 residents on the General Plan Citizens' Committee. City Manager then reminded Council that the Planning Committee (Councilmen Miller and Werner) had requested copies of supporting documents. These have also been received and will be mailed out within the next week. City Manager expressed the need for Council direction through the Planning Committee for development of a Request for Proposals for a Planning Consultant to develop the General Plan. It was agreed that the Planning Committee would provide input on this matter. DIAMOND BAR CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 25, 1989 MINUTES Page 3 3. CITY COUNCIL PLANNING COMMITTEE: Mayor Pro Tem Horcher stated that following Council approval of the Koll Development on July 18th, it became apparent to him that the Planning Committee should be expanded into a Committee of the Whole. Councilman Werner explained that even though meetings were held between the Koll Company and the Planning Committee, nothing was negotiated at the Committee level. He felt that the City Council, as a Planning Commission, considered and negotiated the development as an entire body on July 18th. Councilman Forbing suggested that perhaps a more in-depth background report be prepared by the Committee for all members of the Council to review prior to discussion of the projects at Council meetings. 4. ZONING ORDINANCE SECTIONS 22.28.340 AND 22.60.360: John Gutwein stated that the Planning Department's perspective on sidewalk sales or outside storage is based on parking which is calculated on floor area of the building. When stores bring their merchandise out into the parking lot, it is considered that they are expanding the floor area of their store which has an impact on the parking. The County issues Temporary Use Permits which allow events of this type to occur once a year. Monitoring, enforcing and regulating outside sales becomes very difficult in terms of manpower. The County does not permit this type of use but has difficulty enforcing it. Standards and regulations do not currently exist in the Zoning Ordinance regarding outside storage of shopping carts which block the public right-of-way into the stores. Councilman Miller suggested that the Fire Department be alerted to the storage of shopping carts in the public right-of-way which could pose safety hazards. Having no further business, at 6:45 p.m., the Mayor declared the meeting adjourned to Tuesday, August 1, 1989 at 6:00 p.m. City Clerk Mayor MINUTES OF THE CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR AUGUST 1r 1989 CALL TO ORDER: Mayor Papen called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers, W.V.U.S.D., 880 S.

Clear Springs Court, stated that she is the President of the South Point Community Association and indicated that she would provide maps of the area showing where street markings should be located. AUGUST 1, 1989 PAGE 2 Richard Pierce, Phillips Ranch Road, stated that bike lanes on Diamond Bar Blvd. in front of K - Mart, as well as the right -turn -only lane to the 60 freeway, are as wide as regular traffic lanes which creates a dangerous problem in that drivers think these lanes are for vehicular use. Don Schad, 1824 Shaded Wood Road, Walnut, recommended that consideration be given to requiring developers to build single family homes with 10' setbacks between them.

Arczynski, City Attorney DATED: August 30, 1989 RE: Koll-Diamond Bar CC&Rs As the Council will recall, sometime ago the parcel map for the Koll Company project was approved with a condition requiring certain provisions to be contained within the CC&Rs for the subject property concerning maintenance of the premises and adherence to the elevations and color schemes depicted in the presentation. As a result, the attorneys for the Koll Company have submitted the language set forth below which we recommend the City Council approve for inclusion in the CC&Rs for the Koll Company. The language set forth below would prohibit the owners of the property from modifying the CC&Rs with respect to maintenance requirements and with respect to the elevations and related color schemes without the consent of the City Council.

Van Nort City Manager 21660 East Copley Drive, Suite 330 — Diamond Bar, California 91765 Proposal for Engineering Services Water Reuse Feasibifty Study Boyle Engineering Corporation is pleased to offer our services to prepare a water reuse feasibility study for the newly -formed City of Diamond Bar. We commend the City for taking initiative to effectively manage it's water resources and develop solutions for the water deficiency in Southern California. This proposal supplements our previously submitted qualifications package, and includes the following: o Scope of Work o Fee Estimate and Project Schedule o Project Team Resumes o Related Experience The Scope of Work consists of 11 tasks which are necessary to effectively evaluate the feasibility of water reuse in the City. Attached to the Scope is an exhibit delineating potential reuse sites in the City together with the existing reclaimed water system serving the City. A Task Cost Report is also included which provides a breakdown of estimated fees for each task, totalling $49,788. We recommend that a study budget amount be set at $55,000, which includes a 10 percent contingency for supplemental work that may become necessary during the conduct of the study. This level of effort is required to precisely define project construction costs and support the financing strategy, especially for participation in state and regional financial assistance programs. The attached Project Schedule shows that a draft report can be completed in the late December 1989, with a final report incorporating City review comments completed by late January 1990. This schedule is based on City Council authorization on September 5, 1990. The Project Team consists of the following key members: Thomas S. Maddock, Chairman of the Board, who will actively be involved in critical project tasks; William R. Everest, Principal Engineer, who has prepared several water reuse investigations and will direct the work on this project; and Phil Miller, Senior Engineer, who has recently completed a similar study in the Newhall -Saugus area. The team will be assisted by other Boyle specialists including Fritz Redlin and Glenn McPherson, Principal Engineers with extensive background in water reuse. Resumes on these team members are included for your review. City of Diamond Bar Attn: Mr. Robert L. Van Nort -2- August 29, 1989 Boyle's related experience for this project was previously summarized in our Qualifications submittal. Because this project will involve interface with the County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County, we wish to delineate our specific experience with that agency, as follows: o Design of water reclamation facilities (tertiary filtration) at the Long Beach Water Renovation Plant (WRP). o Design of improvements to the Lancaster WRP and Palmdale WRP. o Water Reuse Feasibility Study for Newhall Land and Farming Company (including interface with CSDLAC regarding Saugus WRP and Valencia WRP). Abstracts on the above projects are included in this package, including details on our major ongoing water reuse program for the City of Los Angeles in the Sepulveda Basin. We look forward to initiating work on this exciting program for the City. BOYLE ENGINEERING CORPORATION AR2:�r4�- William R. Everest, PE Principal Engineer WRE:Iah cc Tom Maddock, Chairman S13-1399-197-00 P50-1163.006 CITY OF DIAMOND BAR Water Reuse Feasibility Study SCOPE -OF -WORK TASK 1 CURRENT WATER REUSE PRACTICE The current water reclamation and reuse practice for the City of Diamond Bar (City) will be summarized by Boyle Engineering Corporation (Boyle), including discussion of: a) reclaimed water supply from the County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County (LACSD) Pomona Water Renovation Plant (PWRP), b) reclaimed water transmission facilities of the City of Pomona (Pomona), c) reclaimed water distribution and storage facilities of the Walnut Valley Water District (WVWD), d) current use of reclaimed water in Diamond Bar (Diamond Bar Golf Course, Gateway Corporation Center, and Caltrans freeway landscape irrigation). TASK 2 REUSE SITES DELINEATION In addition to existing sites using reclaimed water in the City, other existing and future sites for water reuse will be delineated by Boyle. Potential reuse categories include: a. Recreational Irrigation - golf courses (existing and future), parks (existing and future), greenbelts. b. School Sites Irrigation - Pomona Unified and Walnut Unified School Districts sites. C. Other Irrigation - freeway landscaping, highway medians, nurseries. d. Dual Distribution Systems - proposed or future residential developments. e. Overview of Other Potential Reuse - recreational lakes, high-rise toilet flushing, potential university/college campus. TASK 3 MARKETSURVEY Boyle will conduct a phone survey of potential entities to be involved in City water reuse, with a goal of obtaining positive response regarding such a program, together with conceptual intent to participate; entities to include school districts, Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation (facilities outside the City), Caltrans, and University of California. City of Industry, WVWD, Boy Scouts of America, major developers and the California Postsecondary Education Commission (future campus planning). Scope -of -Work Boyle Englneerina Corporation TASK 4 RECLAIMED WATER DEMANDS Based on work in Tasks 2 and 3, average, seasonal, and peak demand rates for reclaimed water use in and adjacent to the City will be estimated by Boyle. Historical records of potable and reclaimed water use by WVWD and other projects will be used as the basis for the estimates, which will be modified to reflect specific project use. TASK 5 SUPPLY ANALYSIS Alternatives for supply of reclaimed water to the City will be outlined and analyzed by Boyle, followed by a determination of the optimum source. The potential for obtaining additional supply from the existing LACSD/Pomona/WVWD system will be documented, together with any physical or institutional constraints. Based on discussions with LACSD personnel, the potential for obtaining firm City supply from an expanded PWRP will be estimated, together with possible future constraints. If the firm reclaimed water supply from PWRP is less than the viable City market demand, additional supply sources will be investigated, including: a) LACSD supply from San Jose WRP, in cooperation with the City of Industry, b) a new water reclamation plant that could be constructed in the City, c) other potential sources, e.g. North Orange County. Discussions will be held with the City of Industry to determine the status and timing of its proposed reclaimed water system extension (present system from San Jose WRP to Industry Hills Conference Center), and the possibility of joint City participation. Evaluation of a new City water reclamation plant will include estimates of capacity to meet present and future reclaimed water demands; and a conceptual siting analysis based on topography, wastewater diversion requirements, proximity to potential reuse areas, site availability, and aesthetics. The supply, analysis will culminate in the determination of the optimum source of reclaimed water for the City, and issues related to institutional implementation. TASK 6 STORAGE ANALYSIS Because reclaimed water supply for the City may be constrained, a storage analysis will be conducted by Boyle for the following purposes: a. Increase supply by capturing daily wastewater peak flows. b. Provide daily storage to meet peak irrigation demands. C. Provide emergency storage to offset WRP flow variations and occasional process upsets. Siting of potential reservoirs will consider the City of Industry's reclaimed water element of the proposed Tres Hermanos Water Project, in addition to other sites for covered surface reservoirs or enclosed concrete or steel tanks. Boole engineerino Corporatlon TASK 7 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS AND COSTS The facilities required -for the optimum C' water reuse system (including supply, pumping, distribution and storage works will be delineated by Boyle based on capacity, location, capital and operating costs. Cost estimates will include on site improvements, backup potable water connections, and potential project staging. TASK 8 FINANCING STRATEGY A strategy will be outlined by Boyle for the funding necessary to construct and operate the optimum water reuse system. Consideration will - be. given to connection charges, monthly use fees, revenue bond issues, participation in the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWDSC) Local Projects Program, and low-interest loans from the State Water Reclamation Bond law of 1988. TASK 9 PROJECT FEASIBILITY The overall feasibility of a City water reuse project will be determined by Boyle based on technical, economic, and institutional factors. An implementation program will also be outlined for the optimum project. The contractual relationships between the'City, agencies and users will be defined. TASK 10 DOCUMENTATION REPORT A documentation report will be prepared by Boyle summarizing the findings and highlights of the water reuse feasibility study. Ten copies of the draft report will be subbmitted, to be followed by 25 copies of the final documents reflecting City review comments, by the City and WVWD. TASK 11 PROJECT MANAGEMENT Monthly project status reports will be prepared by Boyle for City review of progress, financial status, and project problems/resolutions if any. In addition, Boyle will attend up to six meetings with and make up to three presentations to City representatives regarding study findings.

Bowe Englneerinq Corporation Long Beach Water Renovation Plant Expansion Location Los Angeles County, California Services Provided Project Cost Completion Date Owner Project Description Engineering design, plans and specifications $3.5 million 1977 County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County 1955 Workman Mill Road Whittier, California 90067 -- Twelve wastewater treatment and reclamation plants, with a total capacity of over 440 mgd, serve a population of approximately four million outside the incorporated limits of the city of Los Angeles. While secondary treated effluent from the largest of these facilities is discharged by ocean outfall into the Pacific Ocean, effluent from the other eleven plants throughout the county is either discharged into surface streams or used for various purposes. These include recharge of the underground basin in the vicinity of the respective plant, agricultural irrigation and replenish- ment of recreational lakes. The 8 mgd Long Beach Water Renovation Plant provided secondary treatment prior to discharging effluent into a dry riverbed. Because the riverbed is open to the public, the California Department of Public Health required upgrading of the treatment process to protect the public health. Boyle Engineering Corporation was retained to design tertiary facilities at the existing secondary plant to meet the state discharge requirments. After analyzing alternative treatment processes, Boyle prepared plans and specifications for a facility to provide pretreatment with alum followed by sedimentation, injection of polymers as a filter aid, filtration through multimedia gravity filters, and final sterilization with chlorine prior to discharge. The new 8 mgd facilities were integrated operationally with the existing treatment plant, which now discharges a highly oxidized, stabilized and disinfected effluent.

Demand is high, supples are limited and must be efficiently used and carefully preserved. Using reclaimed water for irrigation accomplishes this. Boyle Engineering Corporation is developing a distribution system to supply reclaimed water for irrigation in the 1400 -acre Sepulveda Basin using effluent from the City of Los Angeles' Tillman Water Reclamation Plant. The project also includes reclaimed water supply for a new recreation lake developed by the U.S. Corps of Engineers. In order to determine the various demands for reclaimed water in the project area., Boyle engineers analyzed the present irrigation rates and practices in the basin. They studied area already being irrigated and projections for future irrigation, and determined changes necessary to facilitate use of reclaimed water. Boyle also analyzed existing and projected effluent flow rates and diumal patterns from the Tillman Plant to determine if the plant's product water matches reclaimed water demands or if construction of a storage reservoir was necessary. Boyle determined that the irrigation systems should be supplied by a high-pressure transmission and distribution pipeline system separate from the low-pressure system for lake supply. Facilities include a combined 100 cis pumping station and over seven miles of 12- to 42 -inch pipelines. The project is being jointly implemented by the city departments of Parks and Recreation, Public Works, and Water and Power. CTLOSANG.006 24 T7 V.- . ............. . 17�7 . ...... ..

Van Nort City Manager 21660 East Copley Drive, Suite 330 Diamond Bar, California 91765 Proposal for Engineering Services Water Reuse Feasibility Study Boyle Engineering Corporation is pleased to offer our services to prepare a water reuse feasibility study for the newly -formed City of Diamond Bar. We commend the City for taking initiative to effectively manage it's water resources and develop solutions for the water deficiency in Southern California. This proposal supplements our previously submitted qualifications package, and includes the foNowing: o Scope of Work o Fee Estimate and Project Schedule o Project Team Resumes o Related Experience The Scope of Work consists of 11 tasks which are necessary to effectively evaluate the feasibility of water reuse in the City. Attached to the Scope is an exhibit delineating potential reuse sites in the City together with the existing reclaimed water system serving the City. A Task Cost Report is also included which provides a breakdown of estimated fees for each task, totalling $49,788. We recommend that a study budget amount be set at $55,000, which includes a 10 percent contingency for supplemental work that may become necessary during the conduct of the study. This level of effort is required to precisely define project construction costs and support the financing strategy, especially for participation in state and regional financial assistance programs. The attached Project Schedule shows that a draft report can be completed in the late December 1989, with a final report incorporating City review comments completed by late January 1990. This schedule is based on City Council authorization on September 5, 1990. The Project Team consists of the following key members: Thomas S. Maddock, Chairman of the Board, who will actively be involved in critical project tasks; William R. Everest, Principal Engineer, who has prepared several water reuseinvestigations and will direct the work on this project; and Phil Miller, Senior Engineer, who has recently completed a similar study in the Newhall -Saugus area. The team will be assisted by other Boyle specialists including Fritz Redlin and Glenn McPherson, Principal -- Engineers with extensive background in water reuse. Resumes on these team members are included for your review. City of Diamond Bar August 29, 1989 Attn: Mr. Robert L. Van Nort -2- g Boyle's related experience for this project was previously summarized in our Qualifications submittal. Because this project will involve interface with the County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County, we wish to delineate our specific experience with that agency, as follows: o Design of water reclamation facilities (tertiary filtration) at the Long Beach Water Renovation Plant (WRP). o Design of improvements to the Lancaster WRP and Palmdale WRP. o Water Reuse Feasibility Study for Newhall Land and Farming Company (including interface with CSDLAC regarding Saugus WRP and Valencia WRP). Abstracts on the above projects are included in this package, including details on our major ongoing water reuse program for the City of Los Angeles in the Sepulveda Basin. We look forward to initiating work on this exciting program for the City. BOYLE ENGINEERING CORPORATION William R. Everest, PE Principal Engineer WRE:Iah cc Tom Maddock, Chairman SB -1399-197-00 P50-1163.006 The McGraw-HiH Construction Weekly CITY OF DIAMOND BAR Water Reuse Feasibility Study SCOPE -OF -WORK TASK 1 CURRENT WATER REUSE PRACTICE The current water reclamation and reuse practice for the City of Diamond Bar (City) will be summarized by Boyle Engineering Corporation (Boyle), including discussion of: a) reclaimed water supply from the County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County (LACSD) Pomona Water Renovation Plant (PWRP), b) reclaimed water transmission facilities of the City of Pomona (Pomona), c) reclaimed water distribution and storage facilities of the Walnut Valley Water District (WVWD), d) current use of reclaimed water in Diamond Bar (Diamond Bar Golf Course, Gateway Corporation Center, and Caltrans freeway landscape irrigation). TASK 2 REUSE SITES DELINEATION In addition to existing sites using reclaimed water in the City, other existing and future sites for water reuse will be delineated by Boyle. Potential reuse categories include: a. Recreational Irrigation - golf courses (existing and future), parks (existing and future), greenbelts. b. School Sites Irrigation - Pomona Unified and Walnut Unified School Districts sites. C. Other Irrigation - freeway landscaping, highway medians, nurseries. d. Dual Distribution Systems - proposed or future residential developments. e. Overview of Other Potential Reuse - recreational lakes, high-rise toilet flushing, potential university/college campus. TASK 3 MARKET SURVEY' Boyle will conduct a phone survey of potential entities to be involved in City, water reuse, with a goal of obtaining positive response regarding such a program, together with conceptual intent to participate; entities to include school districts, Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation (facilities outside the City), Caltrans, and University of California. City of Industry, WVWD, Boy Scouts of America, major developers and the California Postsecondary Education Commission (future campus planning). ScoWof-Work Boyle Enolneerino Coroorauon TASK 4 RECLAIMED WATER DEMANDS Based on work in Tasks 2 and 3, average, seasonal, and peak demand rates for reclaimed water use in and adjacent to the City will be estimated by Boyle. Historical records of potable and reclaimed water use by WVWD and other projects will be used as the basis for the estimates, which will be modified to reflect specific project use. TASK 5 SUPPLY ANALYSIS Alternatives for supply of reclaimed water to the City will be outlined and analysed by Boyle, followed by a determination of the optimum source. The potential for obtaining additional supply from the existing LACSD/Pomona/WVWD system will be documented, together with any physical or institutional constraints. Based on discussions with LACSD personnel, the potential for obtaining firm City supply from an expanded PWRP will be estimated, together with possible future constraints. If the firm reclaimed water supply from PWRP is less than the viable City market demand, additional supply sources will be investigated, including: a) LACSD supply from San Jose WRP, in cooperation with the City of Industry, b) a new water reclamation plant that could be constructed in the City, c) other potential sources, e.g. North Orange County. Discussions will be held with the City of Industry to determine the status and timing of its proposed reclaimed water system extension (present system from San Jose WRP to Industry Hills Conference Center), and the possibility of joint City participation. Evaluation of a new City water reclamation plant will include estimates of capacity to meet present and future reclaimed water demands; and a conceptual siting analysis based on topography, wastewater diversion requirements, proximity to potential reuse areas, site availability, and aesthetics. The supply, analysis will culminate in the determination of the optimum source of reclaimed water for the City, and issues related to institutional implementation. TASK 6 STORAGE ANALYSIS Because reclaimed water supply for the City may be constrained, a storage analysis will be conducted by Boyle for the following purposes: a. Increase supply by capturing daily wastewater peak flows. b. Provide daily storage to meet peak irrigation demands. C. Provide emergency storage to offset WRP flow variations and occasional process upsets. Siting of potential reservoirs will consider the City of Industry's reclaimed water element of the proposed Tres Hermanos Water Project, in addition to other sites for covered surface reservoirs or enclosed concrete or steel tanks. Boyle Enolneerino Corporation TASK 7 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS AND COSTS The facilities required for the optimum C' water reuse system (including supply, pumping, distribution and storage works will be delineated by Boyle based on capacity, location, capital and operating costs. Cost estimates will include on site improvements, backup potable water connections, and potential project staging. TASK 8 FINANCING STRATEGY A strategy will be outlined by Boyle for the funding necessary to construct and operate the optimum water reuse system. Consideration will -be given to connection charges, monthly use fees, revenue bond issues, participation in the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWDSC) Local Projects Program, and low-interest loans from the State Water Reclamation Bond law of 1988. TASK 9 PROJECT FEASIBILITY The overall feasibility of a City water reuse project will be determined by Boyle based on technical, economic, and institutional factors. An implementation program will also be outlined for the optimum project. The contractual relationships between the City, agencies and users will be defined. TASK 10 DOCUMENTATION REPORT A documentation report will be prepared by Boyle summarizing the findings and highlights of the water reuse feasibility study. Ten copies of the draft report will be submitted, to be followed by 25 copies of the final documents reflecting City review comments, by the City and WVWD. TASK 11 PROJECT MANAGEMENT Monthly project status reports will be prepared by Boyle for City review of progress, financial status, and project problems/resolutions if any. In addition, Boyle will attend up to six meetings with and make up to three presentations to City representatives regarding study findings.

Boc.pe Engineerinq Corporation _ Long Beach Water Renovation Plant Expansion Location Los Angeles County, California Services Provided Engineering design, plans and specifications Project Cost $3.5 million Completion Date 1977 Owner County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County 1955 Workman Mill Road - Whittier, California 90067 Project Description -- Twelve wastewater treatment and reclamation plants, with a total capacity of over 440 mgd, serve a population of approximately four million outside the incorporated limits of the city of Los Angeles. While secondary treated effluent from the largest of these facilities is discharged by ocean outfall into the Pacific Ocean, effluent from the other eleven plants throughout the county is either discharged into surface streams or used for various purposes. These include recharge of the underground basin in the vicinity of the respective plant, agricultural irrigation and replenish- ment of recreational lakes. The 8 mgd Long Beach Water Renovation Plant provided secondary treatment prior to discharging effluent into a dry riverbed. Because the riverbed is open to the public, the California Department of Public Health required upgrading of the treatment process to protect the public health. Boyle Engineering Corporation was retained to design tertiary facilities at the existing secondary plant to meet the state discharge requirments. After analyzing alternative treatment processes, Boyle prepared plans and specifications for a facility to provide pretreatment with alum followed by sedimentation, injection of polymers as a filter aid, filtration through multimedia gravity filters, and final sterilization with chlorine prior to discharge. The new 8 mgd facilities were integrated operationally with the existing treatment plant, which now discharges a highly oxidized, stabilized and disinfected effluent. /30c*-- EccPnOc ratimn 025.0585 Lancaster and Palmdale - Reclamation Plant Expansion Location Services Provided Project Cost Completion Date Client Project Description Lancaster and Palmdale, California Engineering design, plans and specifications $10 million September 1989 County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles 1955 Workman Mill Road Whittier, California 90601 The County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles retained Boyle Engineering Corporation to solve the problem of sewage beyond capacity of plants treated at the Lancaster and Palmdale Reclamation Plants.

Demand is high, supples are limited and must be efficiently used and carefully preserved. Using reclaimed water for irrigation accomplishes this. Boyle Engineering Corporation is developing a distribution system to supply reclaimed water for irrigation in the 1400 -acre Sepulveda Basin using effluent from the City of Los Angeles' Tillman Water Reclamation Plant. The project also includes reclaimed water supply for a new recreation lake developed by the U.S. Corps of Engineers. _- in order to determine the various demands for reclaimed water in the project area,, Boyle engineers analyzed the present irrigation rates and practices in the basin. They studied area already being irrigated and projections for future irrigation, and determined changes necessary to facilitate use of reclaimed water. Boyle also analyzed existing and projected effluent flow rates and diurnal patterns from the Tillman Plant to determine if the plant's product water matches reclaimed water demands or if construction of a storage reservoir was necessary. Boyle determined that the irrigation systems should be supplied by a high-pressure transmission and distribution pipeline system separate from the low-pressure system for lake supply. Facilities include a combined 100 cis pumping station and over seven miles of 12- to 42 -inch pipelines. The project is being jointly implemented by the city departments of Parks and Recreation, Public Works, and Water and Power. CTLOSANG.006 Inv .................a alb.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA IN SUPPORT OF A UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA CAMPUS IN THE SAN GABRIEL-POMONA VALLEYS AREA AND IN SUPPORT OF THE DIAMOND BAR AREA AS AN IDEAL CENTRAL LOCATION WHEREAS, the University of California Board of Regents have announced their intention to construct three new U.C. campuses by the year 2005 and that most likely one of those campuses will be constructed somewhere in Southern California; and, WHEREAS, the City of Diamond Bar would seem to be a logical area for this new Southern California campus in as much as it is physically located at a mid -point between the three existing University of California campuses in the Los Angeles basis (i.e., U.C.L.A., U.C. Riverside and U.C. Irvine) each a minimum of thirty-five miles distant; and, WHEREAS, the U.C. system has further announced that by October of 1989 they will narrow their list of potential new U.C. host cities to sixty; and that by January of 1990 they will narrow that list down to fifteen; and, WHEREAS, on May 12, 1989 the City of Diamond Bar, by letter, expressed their desire to the University of California that Diamond Bar should be considered in the siting of new UC campuses (said letter is attached hereto as Exhibit A); and 1 WHEREAS, the surrounding San Gabriel Valley, Pomona and Walnut Valley areas have become fully grown and mature communities with diverse population as characterized by ethnic, economic, social, and age demographics and also offer strong community support and facilities including medical, educational, environmental, transportation, communication, housing and many more attributes and amenities; and, WHEREAS, a new University of California campus located in the City of Diamond Bar would provide an economic benefit in the form of, but not limited to, numerous new employment opportunities for the city's and the regions residents; and, WHEREAS, a new University of California campus located in the San Gabriel Valley, Pomona and Walnut Valleys would provide educational opportunities which are not now reasonably available for the City's and regions' residents. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council, that the City of Diamond Bar: 1. Supports the potential siting of a University of California campus in the City of Diamond Bar as a concept that must be thoroughly examined by the State of California, the U.C. Board of Regents and the City of Diamond Bar, including the dissemination of public information. 64 2. Supports the conclusion that the siting of a University of California campus within the San Gabriel, Walnut or Pomona Valleys, but not limited to the City of Diamond Bar, is crucial in order to provide local community residents' the maximum educational opportunities and necessary choices to meet the challenges of the twenty first century. 3. Supports the commitment of staff time to research the issues related to the siting of a UC -campus. 4. Supports and endorses current and continued efforts to bring a new University of California campus to the City of Diamond Bar by the year 2005, and also encourages public expressions of support for these efforts by local service districts, civic groups, private citizens and neighboring governmental agencies. PASSED AND APPROVED at a regular meeting of the Diamond Bar City Council at Diamond Bar, California this day of , 1989. yor 3 I, Lynda Burgess, City Clerk of the City of Diamond Bar, do hereby certify that the foregoing.Resolution was introduced at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar held on the day of , 1989, and was finally passed at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar held on the day of , 1989, by the following vote: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: ABSTAINED: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Lynda Burgess City Clerk 4 PHYLLIS PAPEN Mayor PAUL V. HORCHER Mayor Pro Tem GARY MILLER GARY WERNER JOHN FORBING Councilmembers GEORGE CASWELL City Manager CITY OF DIAMOND BAR 21660 E. COPLEY DRIVE, SUITE 330 DIAMOND BAR, CA 91765 714 -860 -CITY 714-860-2489 May 12, 1989 Mr. William B. Baker Vice President, Budget and University Relations University of California Office of the President Berkeley, California 94720 Mr. Baker, It has come to our attention that the University of California system is currently in the initial planning phase of the site selection process for construction of three new campuses by the year 2000. It is further our understanding that one of these new campuses is tentatively planned for Southern California. Without making a firm commitment to this eventuality, the City of Diamond Bar (the newest incorporated city in the state) would like to be added to the long list of possible Southern California host cities. Because of the fact that Diamond Bar is centrally located between U.C.L.A., U.C. Riverside and U.C. Irvine it has been suggested by members of our community that the 800 acres of undeveloped property in the northeast corner of our community known as Tres Hermans Ranch would be a logical site to place the southern campus. However, as you may well imagine, there is also consternation as to the effect such a project would have on the quality of life in the community. Some of the questions that have been raised are as follows: Kiat would the effect of adding almost seven thousand students to the municipality be on projected traffic problems in the year 2000? Would these effects be any worse than if the property were developed with housing under the current zoning densities? What realistic measures should/could be taken in order to mitigwe any additional traffic ;.robre:us caused specifically by this proposed project? 2. Would a U.C. campus increase or decrease the value of the existing developed property in the municipality. How would this compare to developing the undeveloped property under the current zoning densities? 3. What effect would the proposed campus have on the financial viability of an incorporated city. How would this compare to developing the undeveloped property under the current zoning densities? Would the net effect of taking 800 acres off the tax rolls (the property is currently owned by the City of Industry's Redevelopment Agency) and the expected increase in expenditures for municipal services such as law enforcement be compensated for by an increase in revenues to the municipality (either directly or indirectly)? RECEIVED J U L 1 2 1989 University of California Mr. William B. Baker May 12, 1989 Page 2 4. What would be the net effect on the area's business community? Would the present business community, which is nearly 100% built -out in Diamond Bar, need to undergo any drastic changes in order to accommodate the demands of such a project's ancillary services? What effect would this project and it's supplemental demands have on the employment and/or entrepreneurial opportunities for the citizens residing in the municipality? S. There are presently nine existing U.C. campuses and, therefore, nine existing U.C. host cities. What problems, #'any, have been ident wd as being directly related to being a U.C. host city? Considering the location of the project and the existing community ierastructure, would the apparent isolation of the campus from the rest of Diamond Bar serve to effectively mitigate those general problems for this spectjic project? If not, what other steps should/ could be taken in order to avoid these same problems in our community should we decide to pursue this project? 6. Conversely; what advantages, 4f any, have been ideniffled as being directly related to being a U.C. host city? Would the isolation of the campus serve to void any of these advantages and, if so, what realistic steps should/could be taken in order to more fully realize and capitalize on those advantages should we decide to pursue this project? As you can see, these are not easily answered questions. They are even more difficult to answer for a newly incorporated city such as ours that does not as yet have a professional planning staff or contracted engineering firm on board to assist in finding the answers. Additionally, the vast number of tasks involved in starting up a new city tend to loom on the horizon as insurmountable priorities at times. Still, we have requested assistance from U.C.L.A.'s Graduate School of Architecture and Urban Planning in finding the answers to these questions and we are hoping for a positive response. We have not heard an official response at this time but, in hopes we can conquer the obstacles before us, we would like to be kept informed as to the progress being made by the University of California system as they proceed in selecting the three new campus sites. In the words of U.C. President David P. Gardner: "If you want a campus in the year 2000, you have to begin planning in 1989". To that possible end, we shall proceed as best we can. Thank you for your time. Respectfully, A49 —ge�ity Manager cc: Peter F. Schabarum, L.A. County Supervisor Chris Rope, City Manager, City of Industry Gary L. Neely, Diamond Bar Resident AGENDA ITEM CITY COUNCIL ACTION REPORT SEPTEMBER 5, 1989 NEW BUSINESS Meeting Date Agenda Placement TO: Mayor and City Council FRON: Robert Van Nort, City Manager SUBJECT: NATURAL GAS/CITY CONTROLLED VEHICLES BACKGROUND In previous action, the City Council has directed staff to work with the Southern California Gas Company to develop a program to implement natural gas within our City fleet for conservation purposes. The purpose of utilizing natural gas would be achieve conservation of resources as well as taking a giant step forward in battling the clean air problem facing our basin. To that end, staff has requested that Southern California Gas Company make a presentation at the September 5 City Council meeting. Mr. Scott Beals will be presenting a brief overview of Southern California Gas Company's program and a 15 -minute video presentation. FACTS 1. The initial City fleet is presently limited to one vehicle and two proposed park vehicles (trucks). 2. The program, however, need not be limited to City -owned vehicles, but can include those vehicles controlled by franchise, such as solid waste collectors. 3. The City Council has directed staff to prepare an RFP for the collection of trash within the City of Diamond Bar. It is scheduled to go out to bid the early part of October. Contained within the bid proposal could be the requirement that the franchisee provide new vehicles. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended: 1. That the City Council authorize a provision within the RFP mandating a phase-in' period wherein all solid waste collection trucks operate on alternative fuels, which would include natural gas. New Business September 5, 1989 Natural Gas/City Controlled Vehicles Page Two sssssss:ssssss:ssssssss:ssesss:sssasa:sss:sssssssassssssss:sssssssss:sass:sss:: 2. That City staff be directed to work with the Southern California Gas Company and the Air Quality Control Board to work out financial incentives to assist the community and solid waste haulers in implementing this innovative approach to cleaning our air. As this would be the first requirement of its kind known to staff, flexibility should be the key work in its implementation for the solid waste franchise. Robert L. an ort City Manager RLVN/pds I NTEROFF ICE MEMORANDUM TO: Robert L. Van Nort FROM: Peter M. Kaiser SUBJECT: Information requested on Solid Waste Collection - Number of trucks needed to service the City of Diamond Bar DATE: August 30, 1989 I spoke with Al Simonian, Regional Vice President for Western Waste Inc. regarding your request. Based on 15,000 single family dwellings in our City serviced over a five day work week, approximately 3,000 homes would be provided refuse pick-up per day. On the average 650-700 homes are serviced by one trash collection vehicle (TCV) per day. For the City of Diamond Bar it would nominally need 5 (4.6) TCV's for residential service. For commercial areas (inclusive of condominiums, Apt's, etc) the City would need about 2 trucks per day. The above figures are based on an average annual solid waste generation of 85lbs per week per family. I attempted to gather information from Webster's Disposal but as of this memorandum have not received any response. Please contact me if there are any questions. Resp ctfully Submitted, P.M.

"Natural gas is already being used to power 500,000 vehicles around the world and 30,000 of them are in the United States," said Warren Mitchell, vice president for Southern California Gas Co. As a result of increased attention on air quality, more environmentalists and air quality regulators are looking to cleaner -burning alternative vehicle fuels to clean up the nation's dirty air and smoggy skies. SoCalGas and several other gas utilities are testing the use of natural gas as an alternative to gasoline and diesel fuels. The gas company, working with the Southern California Rapid Transit District, is developing 10 buses specifically designed to operate on compressed natural gas. The first five CNG buses are scheduled to be in service later this year. The gas company also recently added three natural gas vehicles, or NGVs, to its fleet for test and demonstration purposes and plans to add others. MORE Natural Gas Vehicles -- Page 2 "Natural gas can play a key role in improving air quality," said Mitchell. "Preliminary testing already shows that natural gas vehicles can reduce the emissions of carbon monoxide and other polluting gases by up to 90 percent. They also emit less carbon dioxide than other fuels, contributing less to the 'greenhouse effect."' Natural gas also costs less than other alternative fuels for an equivalent amount of driving, reduces maintenance on vehicles, and is much safer than other vehicle fuels. Because it is lighter than air, natural gas dissipates into the atmosphere in the unlikely event of a rupture in the fuel system. By contrast, other leaking fuels emit heavy fumes, which can accumulate and burn or explode when ignited. "We have an abundant supply of natural gas for years to come, the pipeline system is already in the ground and converting gasoline- and diesel -fueled cars to natural gas can be done at reasonable costs," Mitchell said. "Natural gas is an ideal fuel for fleet vehicles because they return to a home base for refueling. There are one million fleet vehicles in southern California -- most of which are in delivery service -- and natural gas refueling stations can be installed wherever there is a gas main in the street. "And who knows, maybe in the not too distant future, our cars can be conveniently hooked up to connections at home for refueling." doc:ngv2 VHC:la FACTS ON NATURAL GAS VEHICLES * There are 500,000 natural gas vehicles (NGVs) around the world. Of these, 30,000 are in the United States. * NGVs has the potential to reduce carbon monoxide emissions by 99 percent, nitrogen oxide emissions by 65 percent and reactive hydrocarbon emissions by 85 percent. NGVs also emit less carbon dioxide, contributing less to the greenhouse effect. * At 4 cents per mile, NGVs are up to 50 percent cheaper than gasoline -powered vehicles to operate. Because natural gas is a clean -burning fuel, engine maintenance costs are also reduced. * Natural gas is safer than other vehicle fuels. Natural gas is lighter than air and dissipates into the atmosphere in the event of a rupture in the fuel system. Other fuels emit heavy fumes which can accumulate and burn or explode when ignited. SOCALGAS' NGV ACTIVITIES Southern California Gas Co. is involved in several projects to demonstrate the performance and emission benefits of using natural gas as a transportation fuel. * SoCalGas has added two natural gas vehicles -- a 1990 Buick LeSabre and a Ford Econoline van -- to its fleet. Future plans include leasing 20 natural gas vehicles from General Motors in early 1990. * The gas company, working with the Southern California Rapid Transit District, is developing 10 buses specifically designed to run on compressed natural gas. The first five buses are scheduled to be in service later this year. * SoCalGas has teamed up with Pacific Gas & Electric and San Diego Gas & Electric to form the California NGV Coalition. The coalition's purpose is to educate key legislators and regulators on and increase awareness of natural gas as a vehicle fuel. Each utility will have two vehicles to loan to public officials in Sacramento beginning in August. * Other projects under development include a joint L effort with the city of Santa Barbara to convert four buses to run on natural gas and a delivery van demonstration project with United Parcel Service. n7vtalk:vc 11/89 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY Southern California Gas Co. is the nation's largest natural gas distribution utility. With 4.4 million meters, the company serves one out of every 12 gas customers in the country and delivers about six percent of all the natural gas brought to market in the United States. SoCalGas -- the core business of Pacific Enterprises, a Los Angeles -based holding company whose interests include retailing, and oil and gas exploration and production -- serves most of the southern half of California. The company's service territory, centered in Los Angeles, encompasses 23,000 square miles, from just outside Fresno to the north to the Mexican border on the south. Natural gas has long been the preferred fuel in southern California. Ninety-eight percent of southern Californians use natural gas for space and water heating, 82 percent use gas for cooking and 75 percent use gas clothes dryers. SoCalGas has been committed to delivering gas safely and providing quality service since its early beginnings in 1867. SoCalGas today -- with 4.2 million residential customers, 220,000 small business customers and nearly 1,000 large commercial, industrial and electric utility customers -- hasn't changed its commitment. Among the programs and services the company offers are a 24- hour emergency response, free home service calls and appliance adjustments and a notification system in which a "third party" can remind customers to pay overdue bills to prevent service shut -offs. Residential customers can also enroll in the level pay plan, in which the company reviews customers past bills and determines average monthly payments to even out high winter bills and low summer bills. SoCalGas is also committed to the more than 530 communities it serves through its community outreach programs, charitable contributions and the volunteer activities of its 9,300 employees. To better understand the communities' needs and address their concerns, and generate feedback from them on how to improve service, SoCalGas formed a variety of consumer advisory panels. One of the results of these panels was the formation of SoCalGas' multi-lingual service bureau. By calling a toll-free telephone number, non-English speaking customers may communicate with company service representatives in their native languages.

It has become increasingly obvious that gasoline and diesel -powered vehicles, along with hard -to -break driving habits, are taking a heavy toll on our skies. They aren't getting any bluer. Now more than ever, federal and state air quality regulators are look ing to cleaner -burning alternative fuels to clean up the region's dirty air and smoggy skies—among the worst in the nation. A Key Role in the Solution to Air Pollution Natural gas, the fuel most people associate with home heating and cooking, may prove to be a"fuel of the future" for transportation. As an alter- native, clean -burning vehicle fuel, natural gas will play art important part in the solution to air pollution. Natural gas is already being used in vehicles around the world.

The results showed that Natural Gas Vehicles (NGVs) emit lower levels of reactive hydrocarbons (an ozone precursor), carbon ittonox- ide and nitrogen oxides than meth- anol, ethanol or gasoline -powered vehicles. (See Table 1.) In addition, the photochemical reactivity of the NGV hydrocarbon emissions was less than with any other fuel tested. The reactivity was 36% to 45% of that from a gasoline -powered vehicle. The ARB report demonstrates that NGVs are able to provide significant emission reduction benefits com- pared to gasoline -powered vehicles. Furthermore, it indicates that NGVs will meet the stringent new emission standards proposed for the future. *Summary of the report "Definition of A Low - Emission Motor Vehicle in Compliance with the Mandates of Health and Safety Code, Section 39037.05." This report, released May 19,1989, has been reviewed by the staff of the California Air Resources Board and approved for publication.

The review included radar surveys of prevailing vehicle speeds at various locations along the length of each street, recent traffic counts and an analysis of reported traffic accidents recorded during the two year interval from October 1, 1986 thru September 30, 1988. In order to enforce speed limits by radar or other electronic devices, a study must be conducted every five years. Section 40802 of the California Vehicle Code defines a speed limit enforced by radar and "...which speed limit is not justified by an engineering and traffic survey conducted within five years prior to the date of the alleged violation..." constitutes a speed trap. Since speed traps are illegal, the lack of an adequate study effectively precludes the police from using radar enforcement. Through adoption of this study, the police department will be able to enforce posted speed limits with radar equipment. The results of the study are summarized on the following pages, showing the existing and recommended speed limits. ii EXISTING AND RECOMMENDED SPEED LIMITS EXIST RBCOM S TREET SPD Brea Canyon Rd.

MPH Miles Per Hour MVM Million Vehicle Miles. Accident rates are generally expressed as the number of accidents occurring per million vehicle miles travelled during a given time period. This study presents the accident rates calculated for the two year period October 1, 1986 thru September 30, 1988. Pace The 10 MPH range of observed vehicle speeds containing the largest number of vehicles. A normal distribution will contain approximately 70 percent of the sample within the pace with 15 percent below. Prima Facie Limits "Blanket" speed limits considered reasonable and prudent for certain general conditions unless refuted and proven inadequate for a particular condition. V INTRODUCTION It is a common belief that posting of speed limit traffic signs will influence drivers to drive at that speed. The facts indicate _- otherwise. Driver behavior research conducted in many parts of this country, over a span of several decades, shows that the average driver is influenced by the appearance of the highway itself and the prevailing traffic conditions, in choosing the speed at which he drives. Recognizing this, the California Vehicle Code requires that speed limits be established in accordance with appropriate engineering practice and methods. REGULATIONS GOVERNING SPEED LIMITS Under California law, the maximum speed limit for any passenger vehicle is 55 miles per hour (mph). All other speed limits are called prima facie limits, which "on the face of it", are safe and prudent under normal conditions. Certain prima facie limits are established by law and include the 25 mph limit in business and residential districts; the 15 mph limit in alleys, at blind intersections and blind railroad grade crossings; and a part-time 25 mph in school zones when children are going to and from school. Intermediate speed limits between 25 and 55 mph may be established by local authorities on the basis of traffic engineering surveys. Such surveys include the analysis of roadway conditions, accident records, and the prevailing speed of prudent drivers using the highway under study. If speed limits are established below what the majority of drivers consider reasonable, they are often not obeyed and consequently, are difficult to enforce. Those drivers who do not comply with posted reasonable speed limits are, conversely, subject to equitable enforcement action. The Vehicle Code provides that the use of radar to enforce speed limits which have not been based on a traffic and engineering study within the preceding five years constitutes a "speed trap". Since speed traps are also pi-ohibited by the code, lack of the required study effectively prohwbits local agencies from using radar enforcement. APPLICABLE VEHICLE CODs SECTIONS Business District 235. A "business district" is that portion of a highway and the property contiguous thereto (a) upon one side of which highway, for a distance of 600 feet, 50 percent or more of the contiguous property fronting thereon is occupied by buildings in use for business, or (b) upon both sides of which highway, collectively, for a distance of 300 feet, 50 percent or more of the contiguous property fronting thereon is so occupied. A business district may be longer than the distances specified in this section if the above ratio of buildings in use for business to the length of the highway exists. Business and Residence District: Determination 240. In determining whether a highway is within a business or residence district, the following limitations shall apply and shall qualify the definitions in Section 235 and 515: (a) No building shall be regarded unless its entrance faces the Y highway and the front of the building is within 75 feet of the roadway. (b) Where a highway is physically divided into two or more roadways, only those buildings facing each roadway separately shall be regarded for the purpose of determining whether the roadway is within a district. (c) All churches, apartments, hotels, multiple dwelling houses, clubs and public buildings, other than schools, shall be deemed to be business structures. (d) A highway or portion of a highway shall not be deemed to be within a district regardless of the number of buildings upon the contiguous property if there is no right of access to the highway by vehicles from the contiguous property. Residence District 515. A "residence district" is that portion of a highway and the property contiguous thereto, other than a business district, (a) upon one side of which highway, within a distance of a quarter of a mile, the contiguous property fronting thereon is occupied by 13 or more separate dwelling houses or business structures, or (b) upon both sides of which highway, collectively, within a distance of a quarter of a mile, the contiguous property fronting thereon is occupied by 16 or more separate dwelling houses or business structures. A residence district may be longer than one quarter of a mile if the above ratio of separate dwelling houses or business structures to the length of the highway exists. Basic Speed Law 22350. No person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property. 2 Speed Law Violations 22351. (a) The speed of any vehicle upon a highway not in excess of the limits specified in Section 22352 or established as authorized in this code is lawful unless clearly proved to be in violation of the basic speed law. (b) The speed of any vehicle upon a highway in excess of the prima facie speed limits in Section 22352 or established as authorized in this code is prima facie unlawful unless the defendant establishes by competent evidence that the speed in excess of said limits did not constitute a violation of the basic speed law at the time, place and under the conditions then existing. Prima Facie Speed Limits 22352. The prima facie limits are as follows and the same shall be applicable unless changed as authorized in this code and, if so changed, only when signs have been erected giving notice thereof: (a) Fifteen miles per hour: (1) When traversing a railway grade crossing, if during the last 100 feet of the approach to the crossing the driver does not have a clear and unobstructed view of the crossing and of any traffic on the railway for a distance of 400 feet in both directions along such railway. This subdivision does not apply in the case of any railway grade crossing where a human flagman is on duty or a clearly visible electrical or mechanical railway crossing signal device is installed but does not then indicate the immediate approach of a railway train or car. (2) When traversing any intersection of highways if during the last 100 feet of his approach to the intersection the driver does not have a clear and unobstructed view of the intersection and of any traffic upon all of the highways entering the intersection for a distance of 100 feet along all such highways, except at an intersection protected by stop signs or yield right-of-way signs or controlled by official traffic control signals. (3) On any alley. (b) Twenty-five miles per hour: (1) On any highway other than a state highway, in any business or residence district unless a different speed is determined by local authority under procedures set forth in this code. (2) When passing a school building or the grounds thereof, contiguous to a highway and posted with a standard "SCHOOL" warning sign, while children are going to or leaving the school either during ` school hours or during the noon recess period. Such prima facie limit shall also apply when passing any school grounds which are not separated from the highway by a fence, gate or other physical barrier while the grounds are in use by children and the highway is posted with a standard "SCHOOL" warning sign. W Increase of LocA1 Limits 22357. Whenever a local authority determines upon the basis of an engineering and traffic survey that a speed greater than 25 miles per hour would facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic and would be reasonable and safe upon any street other than a state highway otherwise subject to a prima facie limit of 25 miles per hour, the local authority may by ordinance determine and declare a Prima facie speed limit of 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 miles per hour or a maximum speed limit of 55 miles per hour, whichever is found most appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic and is reasonable and safe. The declared prima facie or maximum speed limit shall be effective when appropriate signs giving notice thereof are erected upon the street and shall not thereafter be revised except upon the basis of an engineering and traffic survey. The provisions of this section shall not apply in respect to any 25 -mile -per -hour prima facie limit which is applicable when passing a school building or the grounds thereof. Decrease of Local Limits 22358. Whenever a local authority determines upon the basis of an engineering and traffic survey that the limit of 55 miles per hour is more than is reasonable or safe upon any portion of any street other. than a state highway where the limit of 55 miles per hour is applicable, the local authority may by ordinance determine and declare a prima facie speed limit of 50, 45, 40, 35, 30, or 25 miles Per hour, whichever is found most appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic and is reasonable and safe, which declared prima facie limit shall be effective when appropriate signs giving notice thereof are erected upon the street. Downward So _Pri in 22358.5 It is the intent of the Legislature that physical conditions such as width, curvature, grade and surface conditions, or any other condition readily apparent to a driver, in the absence of other factors, would not require special downward speed zoning, as the basic rule of Section 22350 is sufficient regulation as to such conditions. Boundary Line Streets 22359. With respect to boundary line streets and highways where Portions thereof are within different jurisdictions, no ordinance adopted under Sections 22357 and 22358 shall be effective as to any such portion until all authorities having jurisdiction of the Portions of the street concerned have approved the same. This section shall not apply in the case of boundary line streets consisting of separate roadways within different jurisdictions. 4 40801. No peace officer or other person shall use a speed trap in arresting, or participating or assisting in the arrest of, any person for any alleged violation of this code nor shall any speed trap be used in securing evidence as to the speed of any vehicle for the purpose of an arrest or prosecution under this code. Speed Trap 40802. A "speed trap" is either of the following: (a) A particular section of a highway measured as to distance and with boundaries marked, designated, or otherwise determined in order that the speed of a vehicle may be calculated by securing the time it takes the vehicle to travel the known distance. (b) A particular section of a highway with a prima facie speed limit provided by this code or by local ordinance pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 22352, or established pursuant to Section 22354, 22357, 22358, or 22358.3, which speed limit is not justified by an engineering and traffic survey conducted within five years prior to the date of the alleged violation, and where enforcement involves the use of radar or other electronic devices which measure the speed of moving objects. The provisions of this subdivision do not apply to local streets and roads. For purposes of this section, local streets and roads shall be defined by the latest functional usage and federal -aid system maps as submitted to the Federal Highway Administration. When these maps have not been submitted, the following definition shall be used: A local street or road primarily provides access to abutting residential property and shall meet the following three conditions: 1. Roadway width of not more than 40 feet. 2. Not more than one-half mile of uninterrupted length. Interruptions shall include official traffic control devices as defined in Section 445. 3. Not more than one traffic lane in each direction. This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 1993, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, which is enacted before January 1, 1993, deletes or extends that date. NOTE: This section remains in effect only until January 1, 1993, at which time it is repealed and following section becomes effective. 5 40802. A "speed trap" is either of the following: (a) A particular section of a highway measured as to distance and with boundaries marked, designated, or otherwise determined in order - that the speed of a vehicle may be calculated by securing the time it takes the vehicle to travel the known distance. (b) A particular section of a highway with a prima facie speed limit provided by this code or by local ordinance pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 22352, or established pursuant to Section 22354, 22357, 22358, or 22358.3, which speed limit is not justified by an engineering and traffic survey conducted within five years prior to the date of the alleged violation, and where enforcement involves the use of radar or other electronic devices which measure the speed of moving objects. This section shall become operative on January 1, 1993. Sneed Trap Evidence 40803. (a) No evidence as to the speed of a vehicle upon a highway shall be admitted in any court upon the trial of any person for an alleged violation of this code when the evidence is based upon or obtained from or by the maintenance or use of a speed trap. (b) In any prosecution under this code of a charge involving the speed of a vehicle, where enforcement involves the use of radar or other electronic devices which measure the speed of moving objects, the prosecution shall establish, as part of its prima facie case, that the evidence or testimony presented is not based upon a speed trap as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 40802. Evidence that a traffic and engineering survey has been conducted within five years - of the date of the alleged violation or evidence that the offense was committed on a local street or road as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 40802 shall constitute a prima facie case that the evidence of testimony is not based upon a speed trap as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 40802. EQUIPMENT USED The radar equipment used to collect speed measurements for this survey is an MPH Model K-15 Hand Held Radar Unit manufactured by MPH Industries Inc. of Chanute, Kansas. The unit was test calibrated before each series of measurements were taken. Test calibrations of the unit were also conducted using a tuning fork in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. A Calibration Certificate for the radar equipment used is included within the Appendix. C. STUDY METHOD A traffic engineering study has been completed at 62 locations on selected streets and highways for the purpose of establishing enforceable speed limit regulations. These studies were made in accordance with the appropriate sections of the California Vehicle Code, the State Traffic Manual (Chapter 8-03), the Federal Manual on "Uniform Traffic Control Devices", Section 2B-10), the State approved "Methods of Conducting Engineering and Traffic Surveys dated December, 1978, and with establishedtraffic engineering practices. Factors considered in the study are as follows: 1. The prevailing speed, as represented by the 85th percentile, or - critical speed, and the 10 mile pace speed. This data was obtained by personnel using radar devices in unmarked vehicles. 2. Road surface characteristics, shoulder conditions, grade, alignment and sight distance. 3. Roadside development, culture and roadside friction. 4. Safe speeds for curves or hazardous locations within the zones. 5. Parking practices, pedestrian activity and related peripheral conflict. 6. Reported accident experience for a recent 24 month period. 7. Unusual traffic conditions or unique traffic conditions not readily apparent to the driver. 8. Continuity between zones of short distance with inordinate differences of prevailing speeds between the separated zones. ACCIDENT DATA This report covers approximately twenty-six (26) miles of roadway. There were 333 non -intersection accidents reported during the two year period 10/1/86 through 9/30/88, used in this report. Only non -intersection accidents are included since intersection accidents -- are considered to be correctable using conventional intersection traffic controls such as stop signs or traffic signals. Seventeen percent of t:ie accidents reported involved motorists driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Twenty-two percent listed speed as a contributing factor. Left road/hit fixed object, rear -end and right angle at driveway were the three - predominant accident types recorded. Of the 333 accidents used in the study, twenty-nine percent were recorded as left road/hit fixed object accidents. Twenty-three percent were recorded as rear -end type accidents with fourteen r] percent being listed as right angle or broadside accident at _ driveway. Driveway associated accidents are confined almost entirely to commercially developed areas where ingress/egress movements are provided at off-street parking facilities. Accident data was obtained from Los Angeles County, Department of Public Works accident records. Accident rates are computed using a formula which takes into account the number of accidents, usually in a one or two year period, the length of roadway being studied, and the average daily traffic volume. The stated formula is: Acc/MVM = ::umber of Accidents x 106 Distance x ADT x No. Years These calculated rates are then compared to predetermined expected rates for streets with similar characteristics. Accident rates developed by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works are used as a comparison to actual accident rates calculated for city streets and highways. These rates were developed using criteria which included factors such as roadway width and number of traffic lanes, vehicle speed, physical or painted median separation of opposing traffic lanes, parking allowed or prohibited, traffic volume, and the nature of abutting development (i.e., residential, commercial, industrial, vacant or mixed development). The accident rates expected for various roadway conditions are listed as follows: 1. 3.79 Acc/MVM - Mountain road - Design speed less than 35 mph. 2. 1.82 Acc/MVM - Mountain road - Design speed greater than 35 mph. 3. 2.14 Acc/MVM - r than Mixedmph devCommercialCexceptl56pfooteed gwideestreet. 4. 1.55 Acc/MVM - Industrial, Residential, Rural/mixed development Critical speed less than 45 mph. 5. 3.55 Acc/MVM - 56 foot wide road - Commercial area. 6. 2.17 Acc/MVM - 2 lane - High speed undeveloped area (Lancaster/Palmdale area only). 7. 1.83 Acc/MVM - Non -mountain road. acci- 8. 2 Ace/year - Local dents per year. Acyear.Nodcalculated ent rate xrates eper nMVM. N As stated earlier, current provisions of the Vehicle Code conditionally stipulate that engineering and traffic surveys are required within five year periods to avoid "speed trap" connotation. If the pertinent sections of the code remain unchanged, the results of this study should be effective until 1994. Only occasional updating may be required as highway or traffic conditions change or warrant. ANALYSIS AND RBCONMRNDATIONS Each of the selected streets was analyzed individually using traffic volumes and accident data provided by Los Angeles County. This data was evaluated using accepted traffic engineering principles and is used as a basis for formulating speed limit recommendations. The data is presented in tabular form in the section entitled "Study Data". 9 The existing and recommended speed limits are: EXISTING AND RECOMMENDED SPEED LIMITS ABBREVIATIONS: W.C.L. = West City Limit N.C.L. = North City Limit NP = No Posted Limit D = Decrease Recommended 10 E.C.L. = East City Limit S.C.L. = South City Limit NC = No Change Recommended I = Increase Recommended EXIST RECOM SPEED SPEED STREET LIMITS LIMIT LIMIT Brea Canyon Rd.

The City of Diamond Bar, only recently incorporated, is in a unique position of having the vast majority of streets and highways fully improved to Los Angeles County Master Plan specifications. Development currently in progress will expand only the city's local street system, having little additional impact on primary and secondary highways. — Two heavily traveled freeways traverse the City of Diamond Bar. The Orange Freeway, State Route 57, extending between Orange County and Interstate 210 in San Dimas, intersects the Pomona Freeway, State Route 60, in the approximate center of the city. high levels of congestion caused by merging and weaving freeway traffic patterns appear to encourage many motorists to bypass the congested freeway area by using city surface streets. As a result, traffic volumes on certain city streets are higher than would normally be expected. Overall results of the study disclose that there are several streets. where speed limits should be altered for certain portions of or the entire length of the street if speed limits are to be enforced by radar. Prevailing vehicle speeds at all of these locations were measured to be well in excess of posted speed limits. With few exceptions, overall midblock accident rates were found to be generally below expected county averages for similar roadway conditions. Exceptions to low accident rates are found at locations of commercial and multi -dwelling development where a high percentage of reported accidents are associated with driveway ingress/egress traffic movements. Particular attention should be given to the length of Diamond Bar Boulevard and to Colima Road/Golden Springs Drive. According to _ county records, existing speed limits on these highways were established in the mid 1970's prior to much of the current development. As far as can be determined, the county has not restudied these or any other street covered in this report to verify - that existing posted speed limits are still appropriate for prevailing conditions. A short section of Pathfinder Road easterly from Canyon Ridge Road is shared with Los Angeles County. It will be necessary to secure an agreement with the county before recommended speed limits can be established and posted. Without mutual agreement, there can be no posting or enforcement by radar. Temple Avenue, between Diamond Bar Boulevard and Golden Springs Drive, is shared with the City of Pomona. This section of Temple Avenue was not surveyed due to roadway construction in progress. Temple Avenue should be studied at a later date when construction has been completed. For proper motorist notification, city limit and appropriate speed limit signs should be installed at all entrances into the city. Radar speed enforcement signs should also be installed at city boundaries and at any other location deemed necessary. All streets included in this survey were found to have street light installations meeting or exceeding minimum standards necessary for good nighttime illumination. Several streets covered in this report, identified as collector streets, are classified as Local -Urban. According to the vehicle _ code, a street shown as a Local Street on Functional Use/Federal Aid System maps submitted to the Federal Highway Administration may be posted with the prima.facie 25 mph speed limit and enforced with radar without the normal traffic and engineering study, provided the street qualifies as a residence district according to vehicle code definitions. If the street is not shown as Local on Functional Use/Federal Aid System maps, the street may be posted and enforced as -- a 25 mph zone without the required traffic and engineering study provided the street qualifies as a residence district according to vehicle code definitions =d meets all of the Local street tests as set forth in CVC 40802. Arterial highways, both primary and secondary, and all collector streets must have speed limits established on the basis of a traffic and engineering survey if enforcement is to be by radar. Streets in the City of Diamond Bar appearing to be designed and used as collector streets are: Cold Spring Lane and Fountain Springs Road between Brea Canyon Road and Diamond Bar Boulevard; Highland Valley Road between Diamond Bar Boulevard and Del Sol Lane; Lycoming Street between Lemon Avenue and Brea Canyon Road; Prospectors Road between Golden Springs Drive and Sunset Crossing Road; and, Sunset Crossing Road between Diamond Bar Boulevard and Golden Springs Drive. Speed limits on questionable streets listed above should be established on the basis of traffic and engineering studies to avoid any confusion and to positively permit enforcement by radar. This should avoid unfavorable action by the courts in the event citations issued on these streets are challenged. 17 The following is a listing, with appropriate comments and recommendations, of all streets covered in this summary. BREA CANYON ROAD - NORTH CITY LIMIT TO SOUTH CITY LIMIT No change in the existing 50 mph speed limit is recommended. No change in the existing 45 mph speed limit is recommended. Diamond Bar Boulevard to South City Limit The recommended safe speed for this section of Brea Canyon Road is 50 mph. Brea Canyon Road is generally a north/south arterial highway extending between Valley Boulevard in the City of Industry and the City of Brea in Orange County. The roadway is classified as a Major Highway north of Colima Road and a Secondary Highway south of Colima Road. Roadway characteristics vary from two to four lanes. Traffic lanes are separated by painted medians on roadway sections where there are four — lanes. Adjacent fronting land uses are primarily of a commercial nature where driveway ingress/egress is provided. Much of the length of Brea Canyon Road, especially south of Colima Road, has non -fronting residential development with limited access or is adjacent to the Orange Freeway and vacant. There is a school and small neighborhood park located between Fountain Springs Road and Cold Spring Lane. The school zone is identified with appropriate school signs, Installation C, per CalTrans guidelines. Brea Canyon Road forms two separate intersections with Pathfinder Road. The intersections bracket the Orange Freeway and are slightly more than one-quarter mile apart. The easterly most intersection, extending south from Pathfinder Road, is signalized. The survey disclosed that critical speeds in the 46 to 53 mph range from the north city limit to Diamond Bar Boulevard are substantially in excess of posted speed limits. Accident rates, however, are generally below rates expected for similar roadway characteristics. Accident rates of one and one-half to three times the expected rates are found at locations just south of Colima Road, south of Pathfinder Road and north of Diamond Bar Boulevard. All locations are commercially developed having driveway access onto Brea Canyon Road. Rear end and left road/hit fixed object are the predominant accident types reported at the three locations. Prime collision factors are inattention and speed in excess of posted limits. 18 s _ Overall results of the survey indicate that existing posted speed limits between the north city limit and Diamond Bar Boulevard are established alncreasedconsidered enforcement isconsistent recommendedprevailing roadway conditions. Critical speeds in the 55-57 mph range and low accident rate from Diamond Bar Boulevard to the south city limit indicate that a slight increase in the posted speed limit is Justified. Existing posted speed limits extend only to several hundred feet south of the south city limit where the prima facie 55 mph speed limit becomes effective. It is recommended that the county be requested to remove the R3 "END 45 SPEED LIMIT" sign for southbound traffic and the R245 speed limit south of the south city sign for northbound traffic located Just limit. Appropriate R3 END 50 SPEED LIMIT" and R250 speed signs should be installed at the city's south city limit. Increased enforradar cement is signs cshouldebe installed d. City iat the enorth id citylimit- enf or BREA CANYON CUT-OFF ROAD - WEST CITY LIMIT TO DIAMOND BAR BOULEVARD No change in the existing 40 mph speed limit is recommended. The survey disclosed that critical speeds in the 43 to 48 mph range are within acceptable limits of posted speed limits. Overall accident rates are slightly below rates expected for similar roadway conditions. Brea outh s a partiallyoimprovedfSecondarytending Highwayssharedrwith LosaAngeles1County. partially ccident roadway ly low conditionstical indicateethatlow theaexistingr40emphnspeedvlimitgis roadway proper for conditions. It is recommended that city limit, speed imitat and .radar west a enforcement signs be installed for eastbound traffic COLD SPRING LANE - BRU, CANYON ROAD TO DIAMOND BAR BOULEVARD The recmmended safe speed for Cold Spring Lane is 30 mph. Cold Spring Lane is classified a Local -Urban street serving as a collector street proviAing access to a large shopping center at Diamond Bar Boulevard. Abutting development north of Castle Rock Road is Castle Rock al Roadith numerous is mixed commercialtandinon-f rontingeresidential.ent of Castle Rock R Los Angeles County records indicate that a 30 mph speed limit was established and posted on Cold Spring Lane during the 1970'x. There are no speed0mp hlimspeedlimit hasnotbeenofficiallyrescinded gns in ctstime and rdicate that theep 19 Critical speeds on Cold Spring Lane, measured to be 39 mph, are considered to be somewhat excessive in view of prevailing roadway conditions and abutting development. Accident rates are, however, low, about one-half the rate expected for similar roadway conditions. Higher critical speeds, low accident rates and prevailing roadway conditions indicate that reestablishment and reposting of the 30 mph speed limit on Cold Spring Lane is appropriate. Additional enforcement is recommended. COLIMA ROAD - WEST CITY LIMIT TO BREA CANYON ROAD West Citv Limit to 900 feet West of Gona Court No change in the existing 50 mph speed limit is recommended. 900 feet West of Gona Court to Brea Canyon Road The recommended safe speed for this section of Colima Road is 40 mph. Colima Road is classified as a Major Highway extending from the City of Whittier to Brea Canyon Road. The roadway is mostly improved to its ultimate width. Abutting development is mixed non -fronting residential and commercial with numerous ingress/egress driveways. The survey disclosed that critical speeds on Colima Road are in the 48 to 53 mph range. Accident rates are generally well below rates _ expected for similar roadway conditions. As noted under "Study Data", the accident rate, although lower than the expected rate, is significantly higher in the commercial area westerly from Brea Canyon Road. The higher rate is attributed mostly to driveway and parking activity with excessive speed being listed as the prime collision factor. High critical speeds, abutting roadway development, ongoing levels of congestion and increasing accident rates indicate that a reduced speed limit is justified on Colima Road approaching and within the. commercially developed area between Gana Court and Brea Canyon Road. Field review disclosed that there is one 50 mph speed limit sign installed for eastbound traffic just east of Brea Canyon Cut -Off Road. Speed limit signs indicating a 50 mph speed limit are installed for westbound traffic just west of the Pomona Freeway off ramps and just west of Arkley Drive. — Appropriate city limit, speed limit and radar enforcement signs should be installed for eastbound traffic at the west city limit. Necessary adjustments should be made in speed limit signing for westbound traffic. 20 COPLEY DRIVE - GOLDEN SPRINGS DRIVE TO BRIDGE GATE DRIVE The recommended safe speed for Copley Drive is 40 mph. Copley Drive serves as one segment of a Local Collector street loop providing access to the Gateway Business Park currently under development. Abutting land is almost entirely vacant at this time. — According to design engineers, the curve formed between Copley Drive and Gateway Center Drive, near Bridge Gate Drive, has a design speed of 35 mph. Critical speeds were measured to be 50 mph on Copley Drive, and there is no recorded accident history. Ball bank tests indicate that the safe and comfortable speed for southbound traffic through the curve formed between Copley Drive and Gateway Center Drive is 30 mph. It is recommended that a W3-90 degree right curve arrow and W6(30) advisory speed sign be installed for southbound traffic about 500 feet north of Bridge Gate Drive. The roadway should be resurveyed at a later date when additional development has been completed. DIAMOND BAR BOULEVARD - BREA CANYON ROAD TO TEMPLE AVENUE The recommended safe speed for this section of Diamond Bar Boulevard — is 45 mph. Goldrush Drive to Sunset Crossina Road — No change in the existing 40 mph speed limit is recommended. Sunset Crossina Road to Hiahland Valley Road The recommended safe speed for this section of Diamond Bar Boulevard is 40 mph. Hiahland Valley Road to Temple Avenue No change in the existing 50 mph speed limit is recommended. Diamond Bar Boulevard, classified as a Major Highway, is fully improved with opposing traffic lanes separated almost entirely by raised medians. Abutting development is mostly non -fronting residential or multi -family apartments and/or condominiums. There are large commercially developed shopping areas at Sugar Pine Place, at Grand Avenue, between Golden Springs Drive and the Pomona Freeway, and — between Sunset Crossing Road and Highland Valley Road. All of the commercial areas have numerous ingress/egress driveways. The commercial area between Sunset Crossing Road and Highland Valley Road has a painted two-way left turn lane permitting left turn ingress/egress at all driveways. 21 Critical speeds on all segments of Diamond Bar Boulevard, except between Golden Springs Drive and the Pomona Freeway ramps, were measured to be in the 47 to 55 mph range. Critical speeds were — measured to be 42 mph between Golden Springs Drive and the freeway ramps. Accident rates, with two exceptions, are substantially lower than — rates expected for similar roadway characteristics. Accident rates in excess of expected rates found in commercially developed areas north of Golden Springs Drive and north of Sunset Crossing Road are almost — entirely associated with driveways. Predominant accident types recorded north of Golden Springs Drive are rear end and right angle/broadside at driveways. Excessive speed is listed as a prime collision factor. Rear end, parking and left turn were the Predominant accident types recorded in the area north of Sunset Crossing Road. Speed and inattention were listed as contributing factors. Critical speeds, accident rates and prevailing roadway conditions indicate that there is suitable justification for adjustments, as recommended, to existing posted speed limits on Diamond Bar Boulevard. Installation of additional speed limit signing and increased enforcement is recommended. It is also recommended that city limit, speed limit and radar enforcement signs be installed for southbound traffic just south of Temple Avenue. _ FOUNTAIN SPRINGS ROAD - BREA CANYON ROAD TO DIAMOND BAR BOULEVARD The recommended safe speed for Fountain Springs Road is 30 mph. Fountain Springs Road, classified a Local -Urban street, serves as a collector street providing access to the easterly side of the large shopping center on Diamond Bar Boulevard between Fountain Springs Road and Cold Spring Lane. Development is mixed residential and commercial. There are numerous back -out type residential driveways along the length of roadway. Critical speeds were measured to be 40 mph on Fountain Springs Road. Accident rates are low, less than one-half of the rate expected for similar roadway characteristics. Higher than reasonable critical speeds, prevailing roadway conditions and a favorable accident rate indicate that there is suitable — justification to establish a posted speed limit on Fountain Springs Road. Increased enforcement is also recommended. GATEWAY CENTER DRIVE - BRIDGE GATE DRIVE TO GOLDEN SPRINGS DRIVE The recommended safe speed on Gateway Center Drive is 40 mph. Gateway Center Drive serves as the second segment of a Local Collector street loop providing access to the Gateway Business Park currently under development. Abutting land is mostly vacant at this time. A WA Days Inn Hotel is under construction which will have an estimated 100-125 rooms when completed. Development engineers indicate that the curve formed between Gateway — Center Drive and Copley Drive has a design speed of 35 mph. Critical speeds were measured to be 41 mph on Gateway Center Drive, — and there is no recorded accident history. Ball bank tests indicate that the safe and comfortable speed for southbound traffic through the curve is 30 mph. It is recommended that a W3-90 degree left curve arrow and W6(30) advisory speed sign be installed for southbound traffic about 900 feet north of Valley Vista Drive. The roadway should be resurveyed at a later date when — additional development has been completed. GOLDEN SPRINGS DRIVE - BREA CANYON ROAD TO TEMPLE AVENUE Brea Canyon Road to 1300 feet East of Adel Avenue The recommended safe speed for this section of Golden Springs Drive is 40 mph. The recommended safe speed for this section of Golden Springs Drive is 45 mph. No change in the existing 45 mph speed limit is recommended. No change in the existing 40 mph speed limit is recommended. The recommended safe speed for this section of Golden Springs Drive is 45 mph. Golden Springs Drive, classified as a Secondary Highway and an extension of Colima Road, creates a through route extending to Temple Avenue, generally parallel to the freeway system. Areas with fronting commercial development are found between Brea Canyon Road and the Orange Freeway Overcrossing and between Sabana Drive and Platina Drive. The commercially developed areas have numerous ingress/egress driveways where unrestricted left turns are permitted from two-way left turn lanes. Driveway activity at the two commercial areas results in near constant conflict and varying degrees of congestion during much of the business day. 23 Large multi -unit residential dwellings (apartments and/or condominiums) are located between Sylvan Glen Road and Temple Avenue. A large segment of this development, especially in the area from Sylvan Glen Road to Just north of Sunset Crossing Road, is accessed by driveways where there are no restrictions to left turns. There also is a high demand for curb parking along most of this section of Golden Springs Drive. An uncontrolled school crossing at Sunset Crossing Road has an assigned crossing guard to assist children enroute to and from the Diamond Point Elementary School. The school crossing and school zone are identified with appropriate signs and markings according to CalTrans guidelines. Remaining development along the length of Golden Springs Drive is mostly non -fronting residential. There is a school at Ballena Drive where traffic signals are installed. This school zone is also Properly identified per CalTrans guidelines. Critical speeds on all segments of Golden Springs Drive, except between Diamond Bar Boulevard and Platina Drive, were measured to be in the 45 to 56 mph range. Critical speeds were measured to be from 41 to 43 mph between Diamond Bar Boulevard and Platina Drive. _-- Overall accident rates are generally lower than rates expected for similar roadways. A higher than expected accident rate was found to exist between Sylvan Glen Road and Sunset Crossing Road. Parking accidents were the predominant accident type reported. Speed in excess of posted limits and driving under the influence are prime collision factors. The survey disclosed that there has been a considerable change in traffic patterns and abutting development since existing posted speed limits were originally established. Survey data indicates that there is now a suitable justification to alter the existing speed limits on certain segments of the roadway. The recommended speed limits will be reasonable for prevailing traffic and roadway conditions and will create continuity between the west city limit on Colima Road and Temple Avenue. Reduced speed transition zones will also be created on the approaches to and through the more congested commercially developed area. Additional speed limit signing and enforcement is recommended. GRAND AVENUE - EAST CITY LIMIT TO WEST CITY LIMIT No change in the existing 45 mph speed limit is recommended. - Grand Avenue, classified as a Major Highway, extends from the east city limit near Long View Drive to just west of the overcrossing of the Orange/Pomona Freeway. Opposing traffic lanes are separated by a raised median except from Diamond Bar Boulevard to Montef ino Avenue where a two-way left turn lane provides ingress/egress to driveways 24 _ serving commercial development, county library, and a fire station. Curb parking is permitted along most of the length of Grand Avenue except for an area on both sides of the highway extending from about Cleghorn Drive to about 400 feet west of Diamond Bar Boulevard. Grand Avenue is on an estimated 7 to 8 percent downgrade for westbound traffic between a point near Summitridge Drive and just east of — Cleghorn Drive. The condition results in downhill vehicle speeds well in excess of posted speed limits. These high speeds are considered as unreasonable and unsafe for roadway conditions. A similar grade, estimated to be about 5 to 6 percent, exists for westbound traffic from just west of Montefino Avenue to Golden Springs Drive. Many westbound motorists were again found to be driving well in excess of posted limits and at speeds considered to be unreasonable and unsafe for conditions. Critical speeds along the length of Grand Avenue were measured to be in the 47 to 56 mph range. Overall accident rates were found to be relatively low, just under rates expected for similar roadway characteristics. Prevailing roadway conditions and survey data indicate that speed limits on Grand Avenue are now properly established and that there is no justification to alter or modify the existing limits. It is recommended that special warning signs, "WATCH DOWNHILL SPEED", be installed for westbound traffic near Summitridge Drive, about 800 feet east of Rolling Knoll Drive and between Montefino Avenue and Cahill Place. Signs should be installed in the median area as well as in normal locations along the north curb of Grand Avenue. Additional speed limit signing and enforcement is also recommended. HIGHLAND VALLEY ROAD - DIAMOND BAR BOULEVARD TO DEL SOL LANE No change in the existing 30 mph speed limit is recommended. Highland Valley Road, classified as a Local -Urban street, serves as a collector street provi&ing access to a large residential area. Abutting development i:, primarily of a residential nature with numerous back -out drive=ways. The roadway, on a fairly steep downgrade from east to west, is c=onstructed on a slightly curving alignment. Traffic signal control is provided at Diamond Bar Boulevard where commercial development exists. The critical speed was measured to be 39 mph on Highland Valley Road. The accident rate was found to be about one-half the rate expected for similar roadway conditions. Survey data indicates that the existing 30 mph speed limit posted on Highland Valley Road is proper for prevailing conditions. Enforcement is recommended. 25 LEMON AVENUE - NORTH CITY LIMIT TO COLIMA ROAD The recommended safe speed for Lemon Avenue is 45 mph. Lemon Avenue, classified as a Major Highway, extends north from Colima Road through the City of Industry to Valley Boulevard. The roadway is fully improved with opposing traffic lanes being separated by a raised median. Abutting development is industrial. The Walnut Valley Unified School District offices are located on the east side of Lemon Avenue opposite Earlgate Street. The Walnut Elementary School, on Glenwick Avenue one block east of Lemon Avenue, backs up to the east side of Lemon Avenue from the north side of the school district offices to Lycoming Street. The school zone is identified with school zone signing installed per CalTrans guidelines. Critical speeds on Lemon Avenue were measured to be in the 48 to 49 mph range, and the accident rate is low, substantially below the rate expected for similar roadway conditions. Critical speeds in excess of posted limits, low accident rates and prevailing roadway conditions indicate that a slight increase to existing posted speed limits is justified. City limit, speed limit, and radar enforcement signs should be installed for southbound traffic at the north city limit north of Lycoming Street. LYCOMING STREET - LEMON AVENUE TO BREA CANYON ROAD No change in the existing 35 mph speed limit is recommended. Lycoming Street, classified a Local -Urban street, serves as a collector street for residential development along the south side of the roadway. The residential area, extending south to the north side of the Pomona Freeway, has no other access route to either Lemon Avenue or Brea Canyon Road. The north side of Lycoming street has mixed commercial development again with access confined to either Lemon Avenue or Brea Canyon Road. There are numerous residential back -out and commercial driveways along the length of roadway. Critical speeds were measured to be 43 mph in each direction on Lycoming Street. The accident rate is also slightly above the rate expected for similar roadway conditions. Parking related accidents were the predominant accident type reported. Driving under the influence and inattention were prime collision factors. Data obtained during this study indicates that existing posted speed limits on Lycoming Street are proper for prevailing conditions. Additional enforcement is recommended. PATHFINDER ROAD - CANYON RIDGE ROAD TO DIAMOND BAR BOULEVARD The recommended safe speed on this section of Pathfinder Road is 45 mph. M Brea Canvon Road - West to Brea Canyon Road - East/Fernholl w Drive The recommended safe speed on this section of Pathfinder Road is 40 mph. Brea Canyon Road - East/Fernhollow Drive to Diamond Bar Boulevard No change in the existing 45 mph speed limit is recommended. Pathfinder Road is classified as a Secondary Highway from Brea Canyon Cut -Off Road to Brea Canyon Road - West and a Major Highway from Brea Canyon Road - West to Diamond Bar Boulevard. The highway is fully improved except for the area over the Orange Freeway between the Brea Canyon Road west and east intersections located a little more than one-quarter mile apart. Traffic signals are installed at the two freeway off ramps, at the intersection with Brea Canyon Road - East/Ferhollow Drive, at Evergreen Springs Drive and at Diamond Bar Boulevard. Opposing traffic lanes are separated by medians painted for the length of the roadway. Parking is prohibited on each side from Canyon Ridge Road to the Orange Freeway northbound on/off ramps and on the north side from the Orange Freeway northbound on ramp to Brea Canyon Road - East/Fernhollow Drive. Abutting development is almost entirely of a non -fronting residential nature. There is some commercial development in the area between the two Brea Canyon Road junctions. The Diamond Bar High School is at the r southeast corner of Pathfinder Road and Brea Canyon Road - East/Fernhollow Drive. The school zone is properly identified with school signing and pavement markings installed per CalTrans guidelines. Narrow roadway conditions, high numbers of turning movements to and from freeway off ramps and commercial driveways create congestion and confusion during much of the day and early evening hours between Brea Canyon Road - West and Brea Canyon Road - East/Fernhollow Drive. Critical speeds on Pathfinder Road, except between Brea Canyon Road - West and Brea Canyon Road - East/Fernhollow Road, were measured to be in the 45 to 51 mph range. Critical speeds were measured to be in the 42 to 44 mph range on the roadway section between the Brea Canyon Road east and west intersections. Accident rates for the entire roadway length were found to be lower than rates expected for similar roadway characteristics. Survey data indicates that speed limits recommended for Pathfinder Road are justified, creating a speed limit which is reasonable and compatible with existing roadway conditions. It is again pointed out that Pathfinder Road from Canyon Ridge Road to about 1200 feet easterly is shared with Los Angeles County. Mutual agreement must be reached with the county before any speed limit can be posted and enforced with radar. 27 Speed limit, city limit and radar enforcement signs should be installed at the city's west city limit at Canyon Ridge Road. Increased enforcement is also recommended. — PROSPECTORS ROAD - GOLDEN SPRINGS DRIPS TO SUNSET CROSSING ROAD The recommended safe speed on this section of Prospectors Road is 30 mph. qTT The recommended safe speed on this section of Prospectors Road is 30 — mph. Prospectors Road, classified as Local -Urban, serves as a collector street for a large residential area surrounded by the City of Industry, City of Pomona, and the Orange/Pomona Freeway. The entire area is served by only two access points, off Sunset Crossing Road and off Golden Springs Drive. Being locked in means that every vehicle i trip originating or terminating in the area must use one of the two access points. As a result, traffic volumes along the length of Prospectors Road are higher than normally would be expected. Prospectors Road is commercially developed along the east side from Golden Springs Drive to the freeway overcrossing. The west side of the street, with a small amount of non -fronting residential development, is mostly adjacent to the Diamond Bar Golf Course. Parking is prohibited along the entire west side and for a short distance through a curve on the east side. There are a number of commercial use driveways along this section of Prospectors Road. Remaining sections of Prospectors Road, from the freeway overcrossing to Sunset Crossing Road, are single family residential with numerous back -out driveways. Four-way stop control is established at Beaverhead Drive, a designated crossing on a route to school. Three-way stop control at Eaglespur Road has been established in an obvious attempt to reduce vehicle speeds. Critical speeds on Prospectors Road were measured to be in the 36-41 mph range. The accident rate between Golden Springs Drive and the freeway overcrossing is about three and one-half times the rate expected for similar roadway conditions. Right angle at driveway and parking accidents were the predominant accident types reported. Excessive speed and inattention were listed as prime collision factors. Accident rates between the freeway overcrossing and Sunset Crossing Road are low, about one-half the expected rate. 28 A uniform speed limit on Prospectors Road will eliminate confusion created by the differing speed limits now posted. A realistically established speed limit and high levels of enforcement should encourage many motorists to reduce speed and traverse Prospectors Road at a rate considered to be more compatible with prevailing area and roadway conditions. Critical speeds and prevailing accident rates indicate that adjustments in existing 25 and 35 mph speed limits on Prospectors Road are justified if radar enforcement is to be used. It is recommended that additional speed limit signs be installed for both directions of traffic, especially from Beaverhead Drive to Sunset Crossing Road. High levels of enforcement are also recommended. SUNSET CROSSING ROAD - WEST CITY LIMIT TO GOLDEN SPRINGS DRIVE West Citv Limit to Diamond Bar Boulevard The recommended safe speed for this section of Sunset Crossing Road is 40 mph. Diamond Bar Boulevard to Golden SDrinas Drive No change in the existing 30 mph speed limit is recommended. Sunset Crossing Road is classified as a Secondary Highway between the west city limit and Diamond Bar Boulevard and Local -Urban between Diamond Bar Boulevard and Golden Springs Drive. Sunset Crossing Road is improved to Secondary Highway standards from the west city limit to Diamond Bar Boulevard having non -fronting residential development along the north side and fronting residential along the south side. Fronting residential property has no driveway access to Sunset Crossing Road. Opposing traffic lanes are separated by a painted median. Three-way _ stop control is established at the Orange Freeway southbound off ramp a short distance west of Diamond Bar Boulevard where traffic signals are installed. -- Sunset Crossing Road, used as a collector street, has mixed commercial and multi -residential development between Diamond Bar Boulevard and Bower Cascade Place. There is residential development from Bower Cascade Place to Del Sol Lane where four-way stop control is established. There are numerous commercial use and residential back -out driveways along the length of Sunset Crossing Road from Diamond Bar Boulevard to Del Sol Lane. The intersection of Sunset Crossing Road and Del Sol Lane is a designated crossing for the Diamond Point Elementary School located between Del Sol Lane and Golden Springs Drive. The school zone is identified with school signs and markings installed according to CalTrans guidelines. 29 Sunset Crossing Road is on a fairly steep downgrade estimated to be at about 6 to 7 percent, from just west of Del Sol Lane to Navajo Spring Road. As expected, westbound downhill speeds are well in excess of posted speed limits and are considered to be excessive for prevailing conditions. Critical speeds were measured to be in the 40 to 43 mph range on Sunset Crossing Road. Overall accident rates are low ranging from lower than expected to slightly higher than expected. Predominant accident types were right angle at driveway, left turn at driveway, and parking. Inattention and right-of-way violations were listed as prime collision factors. It is recommended that a "WATCH DOWNHILL SPEED" sign be installed for westbound traffic at a suitable location west of Del Sol Lane. Increased levels of enforcement is also recommended. 30 SPEED LIMIT SIGNING All California motorists are required to know the basic 15, 25, and 55 mph speed laws and are tested on the subject when applying for a driver's license. Consequently, speed limit signs covering these conditions need not be posted on city streets. However, although not required by law, speed limit signs for these situations may be posted on streets with significant daily vehicular traffic volumes, or with other applicable justification. It is normal policy to recommend the posting of speed limit signs only on streets carrying appreciable volumes of through traffic and where such speed limits may be established in accordance with the provisions of the State Vehicle Code. Speed limit signs should be installed at about one-half mile intervals on through highways. Signs are also normally installed on the exit side of traffic signal controlled intersections and the more important intersections where there is higher side street vehicle entry. It is important that motorists be given adequate information while not oversigning, which tends to confuse the motorist. In addition to proper signing, it is important that traffic striping and markings be well maintained. Signs and markings not installed in plain sight and properly maintained are frequently not seen, and the motorist has unintentionally violated one or more provisions of the Vehicle Code. Sign condition is important, especially the reflective quality. The California Vehicle Code is very specific in its language describing a Residence District, a Business District, a School Zone, and in Section 40802(b), a Local Street. Extreme care must be taken to insure that questionable streets actually meet the stated provisions or the speed limit posted on the street may not be enforceable. Closely related enforcement problems occur when, (a) the highway is posted with inappropriz.te speed limit signs; (b) the highway is improperly or inadequately posted; or, (c) the highway is not posted nor covered by ordinance and therefore falls under the basic speed law. In any of these ,situations, the result is a debatable validity which may be questioned in court cases where citations are contested. The report therefore r:commends that these deficiencies be corrected. To minimize enforcemen problems, it is suggested that (1) traffic signing conform to Cit:,, Ordinance and the CalTrans Traffic Manual, and (2) older signs be updated to conform to the latest State Sign Chart. Otherwise, radar is impractical to use in enforcement of all speed limits. 31 REFERENCES California Vehicle Code, 1987 Definition, paragraph 235 - Business District 240 - Business and Residential District Determination 515 - Residential District 627 - Traffic and Engineering Survey Sections 22348 - Maximum Speed 22350 - Basic Speed Law 22352 - Prima Facie Speed Limits 22357 - Increase of Local Limits 22358 - Decrease of Local Limits 22359 - Boundary Line Streets 40802 - Speed Traps Traffic Engineering Handbook Traffic Manuals (State and Federal) 32 APPENDIX A CERTIFICATE OF CALIBRATION �?

The problem stems from the State requirement that prior to any amendment to the sign ordinance, or within six months of its enactment, the City shall survey all signs and implement a course of action for all illegal or nonconforming signs in place. It is recommended that the City Council authorize the retention of Cal Poly Pomona to undertake a study of each and every sign in the commercial area to: a. Photograph, b. Identify business use, and C. Classify relative to conformance with existing statutes or outright illegality of each sign. A list of all illegal signs identified by the report will be forwarded to Code Enforcement for action as necessary. The remaining signs will be used for the City Council in their determination to modify the existing sign ordinance to meet community and City Council expectations. U Robert L. Van Hort City Manager RLVN/pds ORDINANCE NO. (1989) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR ADOPTING AN INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE 65858(a) AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF. A. Recitals. (i) On April 18, 1989, the City of Diamond Bar was established as a duly organized municipal corporation of the State of California. The City Council heretofore adopted by reference the Los Angeles County Code as the ordinances of the City of Diamond Bar, including Title 22 thereof setting forth the applicable planning and zoning regulations for the City of Diamond Bar. (Hereinafter said Title 22 shall be referred to as the "Zoning Ordinance.") (ii) With the recent incorporation of the City of Diamond Bar, the City Council has examined the existing Los Angeles County General Plan, Zone District Plan and Zoning Ordinance as it pertains to existing and potential development in the City of Diamond Bar. Such examination has revealed that there are areas within the City which do not provide a stable transition of densities and/or uses and are, as such, incompatible with adjacent zones and uses. The City Council has not adopted the existing Los Angeles County General Plan (as the same would apply to the City of Diamond Bar) and action on development applications, as to required consistency to an adopted General Plan, has taken place pursuant to the terms 1 and provisions of California Government Code Section 65360. Additionally, such examination has revealed that the development review scheme encompassed within the Zoning Ordinance does not anticipate any review by City staff or the City Council prior to approval of certain projects. More specifically freestanding signs within the City by the Zoning Ordinance could receive full approval without any such local review. Lacking both an adopted General Plan, and a consistent local review of development, such an approval scheme does not contribute to appropriate community development and would frustrate effective long-range planning efforts within the City of Diamond Bar. (iii) In recognition of the need for effective long- range planning criteria, the City Council has directed staff of the City to study and formulate amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to assure adequate local review of proposed freestanding signs pending the adoption of the ultimate General Plan and development criteria for the City of Diamond Bar. (iv) There are presently pending applications for freestanding signs, the approval of which would not conform to the contemplated General Plan or development approval scheme and would contradict the specific purposes for such Zoning Ordinance amendments and the adoption of a unified General Plan. Moreover, pending the completion of such amendments, it is foreseeable that further proposals for freestanding signs will be submitted for 2 property within the City which would contradict the ultimate goals of the proposed Zoning Code amendments and General Plan. (v) This Council is concerned about the creation of an orderly and balanced development within the City of Diamond Bar. Accordingly, to protect the integrity of the ultimate General Plan and to assure the continued development stability of those properties within the City, this Council finds it is necessary to establish interim zoning policies to allow City staff the time necessary to investigate and formulate the above -referenced Zoning Ordinance amendments. (vi) All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred. B. Ordinance. THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section I. The City Council hereby specifically finds that all the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Ordinance are true and correct. Section 2. The City Council further finds as follows: a. The City of Diamond Bar is presently developing a General Plan for development in the City of Diamond Bar. The ultimate goal of the General Plan is to provide a balanced and unified plan of development within the City of Diamond Bar and will ultimately upgrade the economic, social and cultural welfare of persons and properties within the City of Diamond Bar. The 3 current Zoning Ordinance of the City of Diamond Bar does not provide sufficient opportunities for City staff or City Council review for the approval of freestanding signs in all zones within the City; b. There are presently pending applications for freestanding signs, the approval of which would contradict the ultimate goals and objectives of the General Plan and would not be subject to adequate local review under the current provisions of the Zoning Ordinance; and C. The approval of freestanding signs under the current provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would result in an immediate threat to the public health, safety or welfare of persons and property within the City of Diamond Bar. Section -I. The following interim Zoning Regulations are hereby adopted: a. Pending completion and adoption of the above - referenced amendments to the Zoning Ordinance, no freestanding sign, in excess of six (6) feet in height above the immediately adjacent grade, shall be permitted unless reviewed and processed in accordance with the following interim policies. Any application for such freestanding sign which is inconsistent with the Interim Policies adopted herein is hereby prohibited; b. Application for freestanding signs within the City of Diamond Bar, in excess of six (6) feet in height measured from the immediately adjacent grade, may be approved, and building N permits issued therefor, provided a conditional use permit has first been obtained as provided in Part 1 of Chapter 22.56 of the Zoning Ordinance. The review and approval of such projects pursuant to the terms of said Chapter 22.56 shall pursuant to noticed public hearing before the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar. C. For purposes of this Ordinance, "freestanding sign" shall be deemed to mean new construction or erection of any such sign and shall not apply to the replacement, maintenance of change of copy for existing freestanding signs. d. Other than as expressly provided in this Ordinance, all other applications for signs shall be processed and acted upon pursuant to the normal and customary provisions for the City of Diamond Bar. Section A. This Ordinance is enacted under the authority of California Government Code Section 65858(a) and shall be of no further force and effect forty-five (45) days from the date of adoption of this Ordinance unless the City Council has extended this Ordinance in the manner as provided in said Section 65858(a). Section 5. This Ordinance is hereby declared to be an urgency measure pursuant to the terms of California Government Code Sections 65858(a) and 36937(b), and shall take effect immediately upon its adoption. Section A. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause the same to be posted in three (3) public places within the City of Diamond Bar pursuant to the provisions of Resolution No. 89-6. ADOPTED AND APPROVED this 5th day of September, 1989. Mayor I, LYNDA BURGESS, City Clerk of the City of Diamond Bar, do hereby certify that the foregoing Ordinance was introduced and passed at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar held on the 5th day of September, 1989, by the following vote: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: ABSTAINED: COUNCIL MEMBERS: ATTEST: Lynda Burgess, City Clerk of the City of Diamond Bar 9110111IRTSGWRM 6,6 6 �C*urtV ,,p DE,A"MENT OF WOICNUL PLANNING UD Woo TWTVk Strw Los Angeles hlNomis 00012 974-6411 AICP crr y OF OI A MOND OAK JW" E HaltD oew 4=/o JOHN GUTWEIN; DRP CON SUBJECT: NOTICE OF CONSULTATION ` PROJECT NO.

The City Council has appointed a citizens' committee to review and recommend to the Council a draft Environmental Impact Report and General Plan for consideration. The first meeting of the committee will be held on September 21, 1989. It is necessary that the City Council retain the services of a professional consultant to serve as staff and augment the committee in the development of the required Plan and EIR. ISSUES The Council Planning Committee and the City Manager have reviewed five planning firms for the purpose of consulting on said General Plan and EIR. The review included the Diamond Bar Community Plan adopted in 1982, issues, traffic, quality of life and references. In reviewing the firms, references were asked specific questions concerning previous experience with new cities, responsiveness, quality of work, ability to work with large citizen groups and acceptance by the community of the recommended Plan. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council authorize staff to negotiate a contract with the Planning Network, 2940 Inland Empire Blvd., Suite 105, Ontario, CA 91764, to develop a General Plan and Environmental Impact Report to include a development code for the City of Diamond Bar and that the negotiated contract be brought back to the Cit Council for approval within 30 days.

BOX 1059 BREA, CALIFORNIA 92622-1059 1714) 990-0901 TELEPHONE (2131 691-361 I MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Phyllis Papen, Mayor Pro Tem Paul, Horcher, Council Members John Forbing, Gary Miller and Gary Werner and Robert L. Van Nort, City Manager � FROM: Andrew V. Arczynski, City Attorneyv�i�� DATED: August 24, 1989 RE: Effect of "Abstain" Vote At the last City Council meeting, it was requested that this office supply to the City Council a report concerning the above -referenced topic. The matter was brought before the City Council by a member of the public who discussed a recent Orange County court case in which this office was involved. Accordingly, this memorandum will provide the general parameters of the effect of an "abstain" vote; however, it must be remembered that specific factual situations may modify the legal effect of such a vote. The history of the effect of an "abstain" vote has its genesis in law in a 1760 case entitled Rex v. Foxcroft, an English decision dealing with the topic. The California Courts have held that the Common Law rule announced in Rex v. Foxcroft is incorporated into the "common law" of the State of California pursuant to the provisions of California Civil Code Section 22.2. 4rhe rule announced_-,in-Rex-v:--Foxcroft,---aT)d subsequently-wadopted--by-the Courts--of,�Ca3-ifornia,,-st,.ate&-that ,an ---abstention -iz - an ..acquiescence aim ~ tfie *w ad°'�of�#he ana3c+r�it +-of 4 a quorum. The classic case in California is that of Martin v. Ballinger (1938) 25 Cal. App. 3rd 435 where a general law city with a five member council had one council member resign. The four remaining members convened to discuss an appointment to fill the vacancy. After a motion was made and seconded that the plaintiff be appointed to fill the vacancy, the two council members who moved and seconded the motion voted in favor of the motion while the remaining two members of the council refused to vote, essentially abstaining. Under California law still valid today, three members of the city council constituted a quorum for the transaction of business and, accordingly, the Memorandum to Mayor_ and Members of the Diamond Bar City Council and City Manager August 24, 1989 Page Two motion to appoint the plaintiff received the affirmative vote of a majority of the quorum. After the City Clerk had issued a certificate of appointment, the plaintiff took and filed the oath of office. However, at the next council meeting, the members of the city council ordered the minutes of the previous meeting corrected and refused to permit the plaintiff to participate in council business. The Court of Appeal, in reviewing the judgment of the lower court ordering that the plaintiff be seated as a member of the council, noted that the common law rule set forth in Rex v. Foxcroft was the rule in California, that the plaintiff had received the majority votes of a quorum and that the "abstain" votes should be deemed an acquiescence in the will of the majority. The council members who did not want the plaintiff seated argued that they had made statements during the council meeting to the effect that they did not want to vote in favor of the plaintiff but, rather, desired an election. They urged the Court that the failure to vote, coupled with their rationale, should be counted as negative votes thereby creating a 2-2 tie and no appointment. The Court of Appeal noted: "The previous declaration of the non-voting members and their subsequent protest avail nothing. The test is not what was said before or after, but what was done at the tine of the voting. Admittedly such has been the prevailing rule for years, and since no reason has been suggested to show that it is illogical or unreasonable, it is, in our opinion, controlling. Therefore, in the present case, if the non-voting members desired for any reason to defeat the motion which was then properly before the council to be voted upon, it was incumbent upon them to vote against it; and having failed so to do, and the motion having received the affirmative votes of a quorum, the appointment was legal." (Martin v. Ballinger, at page 439.) The decision of the Court of Appeal in Martin v. Ballinger has been reaffirmed in a more recent decision, Dry Creek Valley Association. Inc. v. Board of supervisors (1977) 67 Cal. App. 3rd 839. Please note that the Court's analysis indicates that the controlling factor is the majority vote of p quorum, not the quorum present. Accordingly, if all five members of a city council are present at a meeting at which two members vote in favor of a motion, one member votes against and two members Memorandum to Mayor and Members of the Diamond Bar City Council and City Manager August 24, 1989 Page Three abstain, the motion will carry. Of course, if two members of the council vote "yes" and two vote "no," an "abstain" vote would not break the deadlock since neither side of the proposition would receive a majority of a quorum. Accordingly, in that context, a motion would die. The above -referenced general 'rule of law must be qualified, however, by the fact that there are various requirements under State law for disqualification of a member of the city council. For example, if a city council member is required to abstain from voting on a topic as a result of the Political Reform Act, that "abstain" vote may not be counted for any purpose. To so count a vote would negate the ability of a member of the council to protect himself or herself from the legal impact of participating in a decision in which they should disqualify themselves. Finally, the Courts have upheld rules set forth by city councils and county boards of supervisors which modify the common law rule. For example, in the recent Superior Court case regarding the City of Cypress, the City had an ordinance which indicated that an "abstain" vote, when a council member was not otherwise disqualified, was to be counted as a vote in favor of the motion. Please note that the Common Law rule simply indicates that the "abstain" vote is an acquiescence in the will of the majority of a quorum which could be a vote against a motion. Alternatively, as was the case in Dry Creek Association, a rule may be promulgated which provides that an abstention counts in favor of a motion only if the vote results in a tie. Accordingly, as can be seen, the Courts have indicated that a city council may adopt reasonable rules for the interpretation of an "abstain" vote in various contexts.
