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.

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

medians to Brea Canyon Road
7. Noise attenuation

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

this project.

City Manager stated that the Environmental Impact Reports
on the Community Plan had been received from the County.

copies will be sent to all 30 residents on the General
Plan Citizens' Committee.

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.

Richard Pierce, Phillips Ranch Road, stated that

Mart, as well as the right -turn -only lane to the

Dear Mayor Papen:
On Sept. 7, 1989 our son, Todd J. Mac Gillvray, will receive
Scouting's highest rank, the rank of Eagle Scout. That award
will be presented at the cultural hall of his sponsoring
institution, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
at approximately 7:30 p.m. here in Diamond Bar.
Todd completed his Eagle project by designing and directing
the planting of Cypress trees for the Diamond Bar Little
League field to serve as a natural buffer between fields when
fully grown. Additionally, Todd has earned a total of 33
Merit Badges - a dozen more than required for the Eagle award.
Knowing of your support for Scouting and community, would you
please send a letter of congratulations to him, and take such
other action as you may deem appropriate? May we also extend
to you an invitation to attend Todd's Eagle Court of Honor.
Thank you for your kind consideration.
Sincerely yours,
Timothy). Mac Gillvray, P D.

MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Phyllis Papen, Mayor Pro Tem Paul
Horcher, Council Members John Forbing,
Gary Miller and Gary Werner
FROM: Andrew V. 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. The proposed CC&R amendment would allow the
City 60 days to respond to a written request for approval of
modifications to CC&Rs. Again, as noted above we recommend the
Council approve the language set forth below:
Section 7.8. Notwithstanding any provision
of this Agreement to the contrary, Declarant
shall not have any right to substantially modify
the obligations of the Association or any Owner
to maintain the Common Area and the exterior of
the Improvements as required by this Article VII,
without obtaining the prior written consent of the
Diamond Bar City Council, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld. In addition, neither
the Association nor any Owner shall cause the
exterior of any of the Improvements to substantially
deviate from the depictions submitted to and
approved by the Diamond Bar City Council on the
Memorandum to: Mayor and City Council
August 30, 1989
Page Two
11th day of July, 1989, a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit By approving this Agreement,
the Diamond Bar City Council hereby authorizes its
City Manager to exercise the rights granted by
this provision. The City of Diamond Bar, acting
through its City Manager, shall promptly respond to
any request by the Association or an Owner, and the
City of Diamond Bar's failure to respond to such
matters within sixty (60) days after receiving a
written request therefor shall be conclusively
deemed to constitute its approval of such request.
In addition, the City of Diamond, acting through
its City Manager, shall execute such estoppel
certificates as the Association or any Owner shall
reasonably request from time to time.

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.

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.

-- 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.

Project Description
Water is a precious resource In Los Angeles' arid climate. 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.

CITY OF DIAMOND BAR August 31, 1989
Attention Mr. Robert L. 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.

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

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.

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.

Project Description
" Water is a precious resource in Los Angeles' aril climate. 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.

RESOLUTION NO.
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

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,

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

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.

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.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NATURAL GAS SEEN AS A VIABLE VEHICLE FUEL
SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA

gas
COMPANY
Most people think of natural gas only as a fuel to meet their
home heating and cooking needs. But this same fuel that boils
water for your coffee may soon power your car.
"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.

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.

Natural Gas Vehicles
The Future is Here Now
Day after day, millions of southern
California motorists take to the
streets and freeways, spewing nearly
7,000 tons of pollutants into the air
we breathe.
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. There
are more than 500,000 natural gas

Emissions From Natural Gas
Vehicles*
The California Air Resources Board
(ARB) recently issued a report con
paring emission test results from
vehicles run on a number of differ-
ent fuels. 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.

°Electric vehicle exhaust emission rates were
calculated based on the 1985 ARB EV report.
Of note, those emission rates reflect an assump-
tion made in the report that only 28% of the
energy required for EV charging is generated
within the South Coast Air Basin.

ABSTRACT
`- This report presents the results of a traffic and engineering study
for establishment of speed limits on city streets as required by
Sections 22357 and 22358 of the California Vehicle Code. 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.

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

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.

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".

This traffic and engineering study was conducted for the City of
Diamond Bar to determine the validity of speed limits established on
city streets and to identify those areas where existing speed limits
should be adjusted upward or downward to permit enforcement by radar.
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.

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

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.

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

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.

SUBJECT: Sign Study

BACKGROUND
The proliferation of illegal signs and its complicity in compounding the
enforcement of all signs has created havoc with County and the limited City
staff. 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.

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,

BACKGROUND
The City of Diamond Bar is required by State statutes to complete
a General Plan within 30 months of incorporation. 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.

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

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

of the Diamond Bar City Council
and City Manager

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.
Hopefully, this memorandum will provide the Council
with the information necessary regarding the above -referenced
topic. Should you desire to provide a copy of this memorandum
to the public, you should feel free to so do.
If any member
