Because the City had no previous history or a stable payroll they were unable to join the SCJPIA. Since that time the city has had the opportunity to establish a claim history and stabilize the payroll thus allowing premiums to be estimated. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize staff to file the proper applications and deposits with the SCJPIA for considerationof:enrollment into- the SCJPIA.

Van Nort Andrew V. Arczynski Linda Magnuson City Manager City Attorney Sr. Accountant City of Diamond Bar INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor, City Council, and City Manager FROM: Joann M. Saul SUBJECT: Southern California Joint Powers Insurance Agency DATE: November 16, 1989 BACKGROUND: The Southern California Joint Powers Insurance Agency (SCJPIA) was formed in 1977. Its general liability program involving both self- insurance and loss pooling became effective in April 1978. The SCJPIA currently consists of 59 members (58 cities and 1 JPA) . The Agency is involved with the following insurance coverages: * General (and automobile) Liability * Workers Compensation * All Risk Property Insurance * Employee Benefits Coverage Options Member's deposits are treated as their own equity and are reduced only by claims and expenses actually paid. All reserves are kept fully invested and all earnings are annually paid to members in proportion to their equity. Currently, JPIA has invested reserves in excess of $40 million. In addition to active risk management and loss control programs, savings are attributed to sound management control by SCJPIA. This leads to substantial savings of all elements of cost to the member cities. At the time of incorporation, the City of Diamond Bar researched the idea of applying for membership with the SCJPIA. However because of being a new city, Diamond Bar could not present solid payroll f igures or a loss experience record, both of which are needed at the time of application so that the premiums could be calculated. Now, after 7 months of cityhood, the information that is needed for membership application is available. Upon payment of the application fee ($500), SCJPIA will undertake a full risk management audit of the city for submission to the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee may then recommend for the city's admission to the JPIA. Page Two Southern California Joint Powers Insurance Agency Premiums for the insurance are based on the gross payroll of the city and the city's loss experience. Early estimates of annual premium payments are approximately $29,000 ($20,000 based on annual payroll and $9,000 for excess coverage). The actual savings by going with the SCJPIA have not been exactly determined at this time, however, it is believed that they are substantial. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize staff to proceed with the submission of proper application forms to the SCJPIA and allow the agency to begin actuarial proceedings with the prospect that membership could be obtained by February 1990. mj��p oann .

The residents that are directly impacted by the design and construction of the signal are concerned whether or not this will erode their already congested neighborhood. At a recent Quail Summit community meeting, it was mutually agreed by Staff and the residents that the Rolling Knoll signal should be expanded to include a Quail Summit residential traffic study. The purpose of the study is to study the congested traffic in the area, caused by the inability of Grand Avenue and Diamond Bar Boulevard to adequately move traffic. This is the result of numerous motorists shortcutting through the Quail Summit area. Recommended Action: It is recommended that the City Council support the Quail Summit residents' and staff's recommendation that the Traffic Engineer expand the Rolling Knoll/Grand Avenue signal to include a residential traffic study of the entire problem and further that the Traffic Engineer bring to the December 5th meeting, those measures the Council can undertake to immediately address the problem..

This is the seventh precautionary measure of the Earthquake Survival Program for presentation to the residents of Southern California. Since this program began in April, 1989, several cities have joined and continue to join in its expansion. The cities involved in Los Angeles County are Arcadia, Bell Gardens, Beverly Hills, Burbank, Carson, Diamond Bar, Duarte, El Monte, Hawthorne, La Habra Heights, La Verne, Lakewood, Lancaster, Los Angeles, Palos Verdes Estates, Redondo Beach, Rolling Hills Estates, Rosemead, San Dimas, San Fernando, San Gabriel, Santa Clarita, South E1 Monte, South Gate, Torrance, Walnut, and West Covina.

Areas of participation are varied and include such activities as issuing monthly proclamations in support of ESP, disseminating copies of the monthly information sheets which give information about the featured item, and publishing articles in cities, newsletters and other publications. We are all aware of the devastation that a major earthquake can cause and of the extreme importance of advance preparation. I, therefore, urge you to assist us in this endeavor to motivate all employees and residents to take steps now toward earthquake preparedness.

Gntrein, AICD Acting Planning Director SUBJECT: PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR AQND PLOT PLAN #38064 As a follow-up to my October 2, 1989 memo to you on the parking requirements for the South Coast Air Quality Management District headquarters (Plot Plan #38064), the following additional information is being provided. As we discussed in our October 3 meeting and subsequent telephone conversation October 4, the City Attorney will need to direct City Council action in modifying the existing unilateral contract development standards for the Gateway Corporate Center. The unilateral contract contains the development standards and landscape criteria which were originally presented to the County Regional Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors when Zone Change 80-059 and Tentative Tract Map 39679 were approved. The specific unilateral contract provisions which require modification are contained in Section 2 of the develop- ment standards which states: "One parking space shall be provided for every two hundred fifty (250) feet of gross floor area of any commercial, retail, or office - professional building erected on the property." To effectuate my previous recommendation to apply a parking standard of one space for each 250 square feet of net building floor area, the City Council will need to modify the existing unilateral contract development standards which presently apply to the Gateway Corporate Center. To accomplish this modification, the City Council under the direction of the City Attorney may want to consider adopting the Gateway Corporate Center Design Guidelines in place of the existing unilateral contract development standards and related landscape criteria. Robert Van Nort October 18, 1989 Page Two Upon completing the above modification, the City will have in place a comprehensive set of development standards for the Gateway Corporate Center which will insure quality design and development comparable to that required by the unilateral contract.

Also, a marked crosswalk across Kelfield Drive. 4. Lemon Avenue/Willow Bud Drive and Black Hawk Drive ("T" intersection) - Three-way stop controls with advance stop ahead signs, school zone signs and 25 MPH speed limit signs on Lemon Avenue and Willow Bud Drive.

Install a school zone sign on the south side of Larkstone Drive east of Dab Court. Condition Attached is a map showing the South Pointe Middle School location and adjacent area. The abutting development area is single-family residential. Data A review of the accident reports from both the California Highway Patrol and Sheriff's Department revealed only one accident over the three-year period ending August 20, 1989 at the aforementioned intersection locations Blenarm Drive and Rapidview Drive, right-angle, 12 noon, westbound - northbound, no injuries. Discussion and Recommendation National and State guidelines have been established to guide in the place- ment of four-way or multi -way stop signs as well as traffic control in school areas. It is important to stress, that the effective use of traffic controls at school locations can best be obtained through the uniform application of realistic policies, practices, and standards developed through engineering studies. Unnecessary traffic controls, school or otherwise, tend to lessen the respect for controls that are warranted. Non-uniform proce- dures and devices cause confusion, prompt wrong decisions, and can contri- bute to accidents. In order to achieve uniformity of traffic controls in school areas, comparable traffic situations must be treated in the same manner. Mr. Robert L. Van Hort -3- October 2, 1989 Multi -Way Stop Control (Attached is a copy of State guidelines) - Field observations taken during the peak traffic period and periods stu- dents were going to and from school revealed that traffic volumes, both vehicular and pedestrian, were considerably below the volumes usually con- sidered to warrant the installation of multi -way stop controls. The records of accident data on file with the California Highway Patrol and Sheriff's Department indicate there have been no reported accidents at the intersections of Lemon Avenue with Willow Bud Drive, Hollow Pine Drive, Kelfield Drive and Black Hawk Drive, and Larkstone Drive and Blackhawk Drive, where multi -way stop controls were requested. In addition, it was observed that motorists and pedestrians experienced very little delay at these locations. On this basis, it is not apparent that the installation of multi -way stop controls would improve traffic safety or the orderly flow of traffic through the area and, therefore, are not recommended at this time. Stop Controls on the Stem of "T" Intersections - The assignment of right of way at uncontrolled intersections is clearly defined in the California Vehicle Code, particularly at "T" intersections. Section 21800 of the California Vehicle Code states ". . . the driver of a vehicle on a terminating highway (stems of a "T" intersection) shall yield the right of way to the drivers of any vehicle on the intersecting con- tinuing cross highway. Because of this, we recommend the establishment of stop regulations only at locations where volumes of conflicting traffic, severely restricted visibility, or a greater than normal number of reported accidents necessitate such action. My investigation revealed that with the exception of the intersections of Black Hawk Drive with Lemon Avenue/Willow Bud Drive and with Larkstone Drive, vehicular and pedestrian volumes are light, and at all intersec- tions visibility and the accident history are good. Volumes were to the point at the intersection of Black Hawk Drive and Lemon Avenue/Willow Bud Drive that I believe stop control would be appropriate on Black Hawk Drive. While traffic volumes were relatively high, particularly during the time students were going to and from school, at the intersection of Black Hawk Drive and Larkstone Drive, almost all this traffic was non -conflicting in nature (e.g., the westbound traffic on Larkstone Drive made right turns and the southbound traffic on Black Hawk Drive made left turns with very little traffic from the south approach of Black Hawk Drive). Therefore, I recommend that stop control be considered on Black Hawk Drive at Lemon Avenue/Willow Bud Drive, but that stop controls not be considered at the other intersections at this time. Mr. Robert L. Van Hort -4- October 2, 1989 25 MPH Speed Limit Signs - The area surrounding the school is single-family residential and under the provisions of the California Vehicle Code the speed limit on these streets is residential "prima facie" 25 MPH. The speed limt would be enforceable by radar on all streets except Willow Bud Drive between Lemon Avenue and Candler Court, without the need for an engineering and traffic study. The engineering and traffic study is not needed as the streets are shown as local streets on the latest functional useage and federal -aid system maps, CVC40802(b). Normally, the posting of 25 MPH residential speed limit is not recommended as it is the responsibility of a licensed driver to be aware of the residential speed law. However, as a reminder to area residents, I recommend 25 MPH speed limit signs be posted at the entrance to the area on Lemon Avenue and Rapidview Drive at Colima Road and on Glenbrook Drive at Brea Canyon Road. Crosswalks The California Vehicle Code states that a crosswalk exists at all intersections unless pedestrian crossing is prohibited by signs. Some of these crosswalks are marked with painted lines but most are not. Traffic studies have shown that marked crosswalks at uncontrolled locations experience higher accident rates than at unmarked crosswalks at similar locations. The painted lines apparently give pedestrians a false sense of security causing them to use less caution when crossing the street. For these reasons, we would not normally recommend marked crosswalks across the uncontrolled portion of the intersection. Yellow crosswalks are installed across uncontrolled roadway segments to direct students along "Suggested Routes To School" done to minimize the number of streets students cross. Based on field observations, I recommend that a yellow school crosswalk with advance school crossing signing and "SLOW SCHOOL XING" pavement be installed across Lemon Avenue at the eastline of Black Hawk Drive. I also recommend that a yellow school crosswalk be installed across the proposed stop controlled portion of Black Hawk Drive at Willow Bud Drive/Lemon Avenue. Advance school crossing signing and "SLOW SCHOOL XING" pavement marking shall not be used in advance of a stop sign according to the State traffic manual. Pedestrian traffic volumes were found to be light at other locations where marked crosswalks were requested. I believe marked crosswalks at these locations would not be in the best interest of public safety and are not recommended at this time. Mr. Robert L. Van Hort -5- October 2, 1989 School Zone Signs - School zone signs are intended school grounds are adjacent to area. Based on this, the only would be Larkstone Drive east RLH:sI/L for use in advance of locations where the roadway and define the school zone appropriate location for this sign of Dab Court. 1 i!, :' - t i ,,/ LD fp •`^ 1 Til 61, co Traffic Manual SIGNS _4-39 X1987 POLICY Any of the following conditions may warrant a multi - way elanInstallation: 1.

INTRODUCTION Approval Date: 7 -LA -60 R25.6/R28.0 Eastbound Pomona Freeway, Diamond Bar Boulevard to Phillips Ranch Road 07351-066060 T-6159, S-1 This is a supplement to the attached Project Report, T-6159, which recommended adding a 12 -foot lane on the left side of the eastbound roadway: (Attachment A.) This supplemental report proposes to construct a 12 -foot lane t•D the right side of the eastbound Route 60 Freeway, from Diamond Bar Boulevard on-ramp to Phillips 'Ranch Road off -ramp. This auxiliary lane is to serve as a truck climbing lane. Cost is estimated at $5,000,000 to be funded from the HB4 program in the 1992/1993 Fiscal Year, with additional funding from 1993/1994 Fiscal Year. (See Attachments B and C.) II. JUSTIFICATION/EXISTING FACILITY The recommendation of the original project report was based on information that the freeway was constructed on unstable soil, and the graded area outside the shoulder was provided to facilitate storage and clean-up. -2 - Further evaluation by Project Studies, Project Development, Engineering Services -Materials, Maintenance, and Traffic Operations concluded that the added lane should be constructed on the right side of the roadway. Their recommendation was based on the facts that the existing 12 -foot graded area outside the AC shoulder has become a maintenance problem in that truckers use the area extensively. During wet weather, the trucks track large amount of mud onto the traveled way. In addition, this area originally thought of having slide problem has been stable for a number of years since the slope was cut back. (See Attachment D.) The existing route concept for this segment of Route 60 is an 8 -lane freeway which includes two HOV lanes. With the future HOV lane in the median, the proposed climbing lane would be at its ultimate location. A review of the current Pavement Management Inventory and Report Data and field review indicated that the existing PCC pavements are in good condition. Pavement rehabilitation is not needed in this project. The District Materials Section has recommended that slide repair work for the slope between stations 469+25+ and 471+00+ be included in this project. This would require a lay back of the existing slope and the removal of the loose material at the above location. The cost estimate is $800,000. Due to current funding constraint, the added expenditure to prevent a potential slide at this time is not considered cost effective. Any future slide will be addressed if and when it occurs. III. PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION A. Description of Work 1. Construct a 12' PCC lane on the outside of the eastbound roadway from the Diamond Bar Boulevard on-ramp to the Phillips Ranch Road off -ramp. From Station 425+40 to Station 440+10, the structural section for the added lane will be AC, instead of PCC, to match the existing AC over -laid section. 2. Construct a soundwall from Diamond Bar Boulevard on-ramp to Golden Springs Road. 3. Upgrade existing guardrail (500'+) located at east of Golden Spring Drive. IV. -3- B.

INTRODUCTION r - Date: 7 -LA -60 R25.6/R28.0 Eastbound Pomona Freeway, Diamond Bar Blvd. to Phillips Ranch Road 07351 - 066060 T-6159 It is proposed to construct a 12 -foot lane by using the existing median on the eastbound Route 60 from Diamond Bar Boulevard to Phillips Ranch Road (see Attachment W. This added lane is necessary to provide a truck climbing lane on the outside of the eastbound roadway. Cost is estimated at $6,180,000 to be funded from the HB4 Program in the 1992/1993 Fiscal Year. The County of --Los Angeles will prepare the Plans, Specifications & Estimate (PS&E) and design survey for this project at no cost to the State in order to advance the construction of the project from 1992/1993 to 1989/90. State funds may not be available in 1989/90, since this project is under -funded in the 1988 STIP for the 1992/93 fiscal year with an estimated cost of $3,000,000. State will administer the construction contract. Approval to enter into a cooperative agreement with the County of Los Angeles has been requested separately in a Cooperative Agreement Report, approved by HQ on January 25, 1989. II. PROJECT CATEGORY This is a Category 5 project on the basis of the definitions under Category (5) 2-5.2, (5) of the Project Development Procedures Manual. ATTACHMENT A -2 - III. BACKGROUND This section of freeway has three lanes in each direction. The eastbound section has been identified as a Table C, High Accident Location. Because of the long, steep upgrade and the fact that the eastbound freeway drops a lane (4 to 3) at the beginning of this section, the freeway capacity is drastically reduced. As a result, motorists are subjected to long delays and potential accidents, especially during the PM peak hours. IV. EXISTING FACILITY The Route 60 Freeway is an east/west State route. It is a six -lane facility with a 46 -foot median. Just 0.3 mile west of Phillips Ranch Road, the 46 -foot median transitions to a 70 -foot median. The freeway has three 12 -foot lanes in each direction with 5 -foot median shoulders and 10 -foot outside shoulders. The existing median barrier limits are listed below: Freeway Section Median Barrier Type Diamond Bar Blvd. U.C. to Concrete 0.5 miles east of Diamond Bar Blvd. U.C. 0.5 miles east of Diamond Bar Blvd. U.C. to Double Thrie Beam 1.0 mile east of Golden Springs Dr. 1.0 mile east of Golden Springs Dr. to None Phillips Ranch Road O.C. Within the project limits, the eastbound Route 60 approach to Diamond Bar Boulevard is 4 lanes with the striped right lane being dropped at the eastbound Diamond Bar Boulevard on-ramp. The on-ramp traffic enters the freeway at the lane drop from 4 to 3 lanes. At this same location, the freeway begins an upgrade for approximately 1.5 miles and at a maximum grade of 3 percent for 4,000 feet. There are no other interchanges between Diamond Bar Boulevard and Phillips Ranch Road. All proposed work is within existing State Right of Way. Within the limits of this project, the Route 60 Freeway was constructed on very unstable native material. The original freeway was designed with a 15 -foot bench outside the 10' shoulder to facilitate the storage and clean-up of debris from the unstable slopes. -3- A rehabilitation project in late 1986 included unsuitable material removal, installed under drains, and edge drains to stabilize the existing soil. Route 60 is classified as Federal Aid Primary under the Federal Highway System Classification. Federal funds were used for original construction and subsequent projects. V. TRAFFIC DATA A. Average Daily Traffic (ADT) The 1987 Annual ADT for both directions of Route 60 between Route 57 North and Phillips Ranch Road is 130,000. B. Future Traffic Demands The Route Concept Report for Route 60 shows an ADT of 157,500 for the year 2010. C. Percent Trucks The Route Concept Report for Route 60 shows 14% (% of ADT) trucks for this segment of freeway. D. Accident Data The f ollowing table lists the reported accident history for the period of January, 1985 through September, 1988 for eastbound Route 60 between Diamond Bar Boulevard and Phillips Ranch Road: Type of Accident Accident Rate * * Accidents per million vehicle miles of travel. ** Fatal plus Injury type accidents.

Congestion related accidents (rear end and sideswipe) account for 67.6% (210 out of 311) of all recorded accidents. E. Congestion Data The attached Congestion Chart indicates the normal weekday speeds within project limits (see Attachment #5). The data for this Congestion Chart was obtained on April 12, 1988. In the eastbound direction, the PM peak period lasts from 1445 to 1830 hours with congestion slowing motorists to less than 20 mph for most of the period. VI. DEFICIENCIES AND JUSTIFICATION This section of freeway is on an upgrade for approximately 1.5 miles and at a maximum grade of 3 percent for 4,000 feet. Sustained speeds of slower trucks for this kind of upgrade are 33 mph (Highway Capacity Manual). Because of the slow moving trucks in the number 2 & 3 lanes, huge headways are common. In addition, at the beginning of this upgrade, the freeway lanes reduce from 4 to 3. For these reasons the capacity of the freeway is greatly reduced. During peak hour periods, sections of the freeway currently operate at Level of Service (LOS) "F", characterized by low speeds, many stoppages, and significant delays. At the present time, rear end accidents occur ;ft all hours indicating slow moving vehicles. With the added truck lane, slow trucks and vehicles can be restricted to the right two lanes, which in turn should reduce rear end and sideswipe accidents. This section of Route 60 is experiencing a steady increase in traffic demand. The 1986 Annual ADT was 111,000 vehicles per day. By 1987, the Annual ADT was 130,000 vehicles per day, an increase of 17 percent in one year. The tremendous growth in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties will continue in the near future. This will require additional through lanes. The proposed truck climbing lane would only address the current operation and safety problems. VII. PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION A. Description of Work 1. Construct a 12' PCC lane in the eastbound median area. The added lane will end at Phillips Ranch Road. From Station 425+10 to Station 440+10, the structural section for the added lane will be AC, instead of PCC, to match the existing AC over -laid pavement. 2. Construct a concrete median barrier 6' offset north of the existing center line. IM C. 1. -5 - 3. Pave the median area with AC for inside shoulders. Future HOV lanes will require the structural section to be strengthened. Note:- See Attachment 2, 3, and 4 for details of proposed work. Alternatives 1. No Project This alternative would not reduce congestion. As the demand increases, delay, congestion -related accidents, and congestion duration will increase. 2. Widen Freeway This alternative would widen the freeway on the outside and keep the median area for future HOV lanes. It would greatly increase the cost due to the unstable native material. This alternative is proposed for the future in Section IX -E of this Project Report.

Proqrammin This project is listed as project number 501P in Tier 2 of the adopted 1988 STIP as part of the System Operation Improvements Program coded HB4 with a January 1988 estimate of $2,465,000 with an escalated cost of $3,000,000 in 1992/93 year. This STIP project (No. 501P) is only partially funded ($3.0 million out of $6.0 million) in the 1988 STIP, and is funded from the 1988 bid pot to be specifically available for the 1992/93 fiscal year. The California Transportation Commission (CTC) will not decide until June of this year whether to fund the balance. This project will be a 1989 PSTIP candidate for funding from the 1993/94 fiscal year. B.

INTRODUCTION Approval Date: 5-1141 7 -LA -60 R25.6/R28.0 Eastbound Pomona Freeway, Diamond Bar Boulevard to Phillips Ranch Road 07351-066060 T-6159, S-1 This is a supplement to the attached Project Report, T-6159, which recommended adding a 12 -foot lane on the left side of the eastbound roadway.' (Attachment A.) This supplemental report proposes to construct a 12 -foot lane t•D the right side of the eastbound Route 60 Freeway, from Diamond Bar Boulevard on-ramp to Phillips Ranch Road off -ramp. This auxiliary lane is to serve as a truck climbing lane. Cost is estimated at $5,000,000 to be funded from the HB4 program in the 1992/1993 Fiscal Year, with additional funding from 1993/1994 Fiscal Year. (See Attachments B and C.) II. JUSTIFICATION/EXISTING FACILITY The recommendation of the original project report was based on information that the freeway was constructed on unstable soil, and the graded area outside the shoulder was provided to facilitate storage and clean-up. Further evaluation by Project Studies, Project Development, Engineering Services -Materials, Maintenance, and Traffic operations concluded that the added lane should be constructed on the right side of the roadway. Their recommendation was based on the facts that the existing 12 -foot graded area outside the AC shoulder has become a maintenance problem in that truckers use the area extensively. During wet weather, the trucks track large amount of mud onto the traveled way. In addition, this area originally thought of having slide problem has been stable for a number of years since the slope was cut back. (See Attachment D.) The existing route concept for this segment of Route 60 is an 8 -lane freeway which includes two HOV lanes. With the future HOV lane in the median, the proposed climbing lane would be at its ultimate location. A review of the Report Data are in good project. and field condition. current Pavement Management Inventory and review indicated that the existing PCC pavements Pavement rehabilitation is not needed in this The District Materials Section has recommended that slide repair work for the slope between stations 469+25+ and 471+00+ be included in this project. This would require a lay balk of the existing slope and the removal of the loose material at the above location. The cost estimate is $800,000. Due to current funding constraint, the added expenditure to prevent a potential slide at this time is not considered cost effective. Any future slide will be addressed if and when it occurs. III. PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION A. Description of Work 1. Construct a 12' PCC lane on the outside of the eastbound roadway from the Diamond Bar Boulevard on-ramp to the Phillips Ranch Road off -ramp. From Station 425+40 to Station 440+10, the structural section for the added lane will be AC, instead of PCC, to match the existing AC over -laid section. 2.

INTRODUCTION Date: 7 -LA -60 R25.6/R28.0 Eastbound Pomona Freeway, Diamond Bar Blvd. to Phillips Ranch Road 07351 - 066060 T-6159 It is proposed to construct a 12 -foot lane by using the existing median on the eastbound Route 60 from Diamond Bar Boulevard to Phillips Ranch Road (see Attachment #1). This added lane is necessary to provide a truck climbing lane on the outside of the eastbound roadway. Cost is estimated at $6,180,000 to be funded from the HB4 Program in the 1992/1993 Fiscal Year. The County of -Los Angeles will prepare the Plans, Specifications & Estimate (PS&E) and design survey for this project at no cost to the State in order to advance the construction of the project from 1992/1993 to 1989/90. State funds may not be available in 1989/90, since this project is under -funded in the 1988 STIP for the 1992/93 fiscal year with an estimated cost of $3,000,000. State will administer the construction contract. Approval to enter into a cooperative agreement with the County of Los Angeles has been requested separately in a Cooperative Agreement Report, approved by HQ on January 25, 1989. II. PROJECT CATEGORY This is a Category 5 project on the basis of the definitions under Category (5) 2-5.2, (5) of the Project Development Procedures Manual. ATTACHMENT Q -2 - III. BACKGROUND This section of freeway has three lanes in each direction. The eastbound section has been identified as a Table C, High Accident Location. Because of the long, steep upgrade and the fact that the eastbound freeway drops a lane (4 to 3) at the beginning of this section, the freeway capacity is drastically reduced. As a result, motorists are subjected to long delays and potential accidents, especially during the PM peak hours. IV. EXISTING FACILITY The Route 60 Freeway is an east/west State route. It is a six -lane facility with a 46 -foot median. Just 0.3 mile west of Phillips Ranch Road, the 46 -foot median transitions to a 70 -foot median. The freeway has three 12 -foot lanes in each direction with 5 -foot median shoulders and 10 -foot outside shoulders. The existing median barrier limits are listed below: Freeway Section Median Barrier Type Diamond Bar Blvd. U.C. to Concrete 0.5 miles east of Diamond Bar Blvd. U.C. 0.5 miles east of Diamond Bar Blvd. U.C. to Double Thrie Beam 1.0 mile east of Golden Springs Dr. 1.0 mile east of Golden Springs Dr. to None Phillips Ranch Road O.C. Within the project limits, the eastbound Route 60 approach to Diamond Bar Boulevard is 4 lanes with the striped right lane being dropped at the eastbound Diamond Bar Boulevard on-ramp. The on-ramp traffic enters the freeway at the lane drop from 4 to 3 lanes. At this same location, the freeway begins an upgrade for approximately 1.5 miles and at a maximum grade of 3 percent for 4,000 feet. There are no other interchanges between Diamond Bar Boulevard and Phillips Ranch Road. All proposed work is within existing State Right of Way. Within the limits of this project, the Route 60 Freeway was constructed on very unstable native material. The original freeway was designed with a 15 -foot bench outside the 10' shoulder to facilitate the storage and clean-up of debris from the unstable slopes. -3- A rehabilitation project in late 1986 included unsuitable material removal, installed under drains, and edge drains to stabilize the existing soil. Route 60 is classified as Federal Aid Primary under the Federal Highway System Classification. Federal funds were used for original construction and subsequent projects. V. TRAFFIC DATA A. Average Daily Traffic (ADT) The 1987 ,Annual ADT for both directions of Route 60 between Route 57 North and Phillips Ranch Road is 130,000. B. Future Traffic Demands The Route Concept Report for Route 60 shows an ADT of 157,500 for the year 2010. C. Percent Trucks The Route Concept Report for Route 60 shows 14% (% of ADT) trucks for this segment of freeway. D. Accident Data The following table lists the reported accident history for the period of January, 1985 through September, 1988 for eastbound Route 60 between Diamond Bar Boulevard and Phillips Ranch Road: Type of Accident REAR SIDE - YEAR END SWIPE 1985 25 15 1986 35 19 1987 43 20 1988(9 Mos.) 31 22 Total 134 76 * Accidents per million vehicle miles of travel. ** Fatal plus Injury type accidents.

QC All accident rates are above the expected statewide accident rates for similar highway facilities. Congestion related accidents (rear end and sideswipe) account for 67.6% (210 out of 311) of all recorded accidents. E. Congestion -Data- The ata The attached Congestion Chart indicates the normal weekday speeds within project limits (see Attachment #5). The data for this Congestion Chart was obtained on April 12, 1988. In the eastbound direction, the PM peak period lasts from 1445 to 1830 hours with congestion slowing motorists to less than 20 mph for most of the period. VI. DEFICIENCIES AND JUSTIFICATION This section of freeway is on an upgrade for approximately 1.5 miles and at a maximum grade of 3 percent for 4,000 feet. Sustained speeds of slower trucks for this kind of upgrade are 33 mph (Highway Capacity Manual). Because of the slow moving trucks in the number 2 & 3 lanes, huge headways are common. In addition, at the beginning of this upgrade, the freeway lanes reduce from 4 to 3. For these reasons the capacity of the freeway is greatly reduced. During peak hour periods, sections of the freeway currently operate at Level of Service (LOS) "F", characterized by low speeds, many stoppages, and significant delays. At the present time, rear end accidents occur zt all hours indicating slow moving vehicles. With the added truck lane, slow trucks and vehicles can be restricted to the right two lanes, which in turn should reduce rear end and sideswipe accidents. This section of Route 60 is experiencing a steady increase in traffic demand. The 1986 Annual ADT was 111,000 vehicles per day. By 1987, the Annual ADT was 130,000 vehicles per day, an increase of 17 percent in one year. The tremendous growth in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties will continue in the near future. This will require additional through lanes. The proposed truck climbing lane would only address the current operation and safety problems. VII. PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION A. Description of Work 1. Construct a 12' PCC lane in the eastbound median area. The added lane will end at Phillips Ranch Road. From Station 425+10 to Station 440+10, the structural section for the added lane will be AC, instead of PCC, to match the existing AC over -laid pavement. 2. Construct a concrete median barrier 6' offset north of the existing center line. -5- 3. Pave the median area with AC f or inside shoulders. Future HOV lanes will require the structural section to be strengthened. Note:- See Attachment 2, 3, and 4 f or details of proposed work. B. Alternatives 1. No Project This alternative would not reduce congestion. As the demand increases, delay, congestion -related accidents, and congestion duration will increase. 2. Widen Freeway This alternative would widen the freeway on the outside and keep the median area for future HOV lanes. It would greatly increase the cost due to the unstable native material. This alternative is proposed for the future in Section IX -E of this Project Report. C. Cost Estimate 1.

BORK, Chief Traffic Operations Branch CHO:cf CITY OF DIAMOND BAR AGENDA REPORT AWARD OF PLANNING CONTRACT TO WILLDAN AND ASSOCIATES The contract currently in effect between the Los Angeles County Planning Department and the City of Diamond Bar for current planning services expires on December 31, 1989. Attached, please note, a proposal by Willdan Associates to provide contract planning services to the City of Diamond Bar. In effect, Willdan employees will work under the direction of the Planning Director, at the City Administration Building. Willdan employees are trained and experienced in municipal planning and zoning procedures. The company currently provides contract staff planning assistance to the cities of West Hollywood and Apple Valley, (both cities are newly incorporated). It is proposed that Willdan employee services be utilized commencing December 1, 1989. While the City Offices will not be accepting planning service applications until January 2, 1990, Willdan's task during the month of December will be to assist the Planning Director in the retrieval of all Diamond Bar case files from the County of Los Angeles, and setting up City planning forms, permits, public handouts, and procedures. In addition, we anticipate accepting about forty (40) Diamond Bar current planning cases which have been filed at the County, but will have to be processed by the City Staff. (Narrative continued on next page if necessary) FISCAL IMPACT: Amount Requested $ 80,000 (maximum) plus 80% of Planning Service Fees collected after January 2, 1989 Budgeted Amount $ 1.6 million In Account Number: Deficit: $ Revenue Source: REVIEWED BY: -------------------------------------------- -------------------- Robert L. Van Nort Andrew V. Arczynski Linda Magnuson City Manager City Attorney Sr. Accountant Page 2 Given the proposed advance preparation during December 1989, the City should be in a position to accept applications effective January 2, 1990, and provide information to the public, as well as process all current planning applications thereafter. Due to the uncertainty of the overall workload which will be generated by providing in-house planning services, it is recommended that this contract between the City of Diamond Bar and Willdan Associates, be established for a period no longer than seven (7) months. Also, it may be necessary to re- evaluate this contract sooner than June, 1990. Recommendation: That the City Council approve the contract for planning services between Willdan Associates and the City of Diamond Bar.

Over the past six years, we have successfully provided municipal planning services, on both an interim and permanent basis, to over 20 Southern California communities. All of our key staff members were previously employed by public agencies and have strong backgrounds in all aspects of municipal planning. We believe our firm is uniquely well qualified to provide the planning services requested by the City of Diamond Bar for the following reasons: -- We have successfully provided services to newly incorporated cities, handling -4 all aspects of the transition from county to city jurisdiction, including, but not limited to, completing case processing, creating files and a computerized tracking/status system as well as addressing all aspects of administrative — details related to the provision of municipal planning services.

One of the primary objectives of the newly incorporated City is to establish a planning department that will guide the future growth and development of the community consistent with local desires. It is imperative that the City's planning staff be responsive to local needs, particularly the processing of development applications. However, these needs also include the formulation of the local land use controls that will direct the City's planning efforts, e.g., General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, etc. In addressing these needs, the specific services that would be provided by Willdan Associates, if selected to serve as your planning staff, would include the following: 1. Review site plans to determine compliance with the use, intensity and other development standards and requirements of the General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, and the State Subdivision Map Act. 2. Review proposed land division applications for compliance with the Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, and the State Subdivision Map Act. 3. Respond to zoning inquiries from homeowners, developers, or other citizens seeking direction or advice on planning or zoning -related matters. 4. Receive and process applications for various planning permits, including Conditional Use Permits, Variances, and Zone Changes. 5. Respond to zoning complaints and provide code enforcement as necessary. 6. Prepare agendas for City Council/Planning Commission meetings relating to planning matters. 7. Attend Planning Commission/City Council meetings and make presentations on planning -related matters as necessary. 8. Attend other City board or commission meetings as necessary. 9. Prepare written responses, as needed, for permit applicants. 10. Determine the level of environmental clearance required for proposed projects under the CEQA Guidelines and issue Categorical Exemptions or Negative Declarations as appropriate. 11. Perform planning office management to assure the orderly disposition of all written applications, complaints, inquiries, permit files, minutes, resolutions, etc. 12. Coordinate the activities of a Development Review Committee, if one is formed, and attend any meetings thereof. In addition to these routine planning functions, our staff would coordinate the work that is being performed in preparing the City's General Plan. We would also oversee the preparation of the City's Zoning Ordinance and would perform other special planning studies as necessary. Moreover, our staff would be responsible for ensuring that the transition from County to local control (i.e., phase-out of Los Angeles County Regional Planning Department staff) occurs as smoothly as possible. Some of the specific services that our staff will provide during this transition period will include: 1. Assisting with the transfer and organization of files, including an investigation of the use of microfiche for storing case files. 2. Reviewing the adequacy of the current fee schedule being used by the County of Los Angeles and recommending adjustments where necessary. 3. Preparing new application forms and accompanying materials (e.g., informational handouts, filing instructions, etc.) to be used by your Planning Department. 4. Consolidating and simplifying the County Zoning Ordinance by eliminating those zoning districts and/or standards that are irrelevant to the City of Diamond Bar. We would assign a team consisting of at least three persons to provide the services outlined above. This team would consist of a Senior Planner and two Planning Technicians. The Planning Technicians would be responsible for _ operating the department's information counter while also performing code enforcement and processing minor development applications as necessary. The Senior Planner, in turn, would be primarily responsible for processing all major development applications, preparing staff reports and conducting special studies under the supervision of your Planning Director. The Senior Planner would also assist with the operation of the department's information counter, if necessary, and would represent the department in the Director's absence. It is assumed that all clerical tasks would be performed by City staff members; however, Willdan Associates could also provide the clerical assistance required for the preparation of staff reports and correspondence generated by the Planning Department. It should be pointed out that it is difficult at this time to determine the level of effort that will be needed to adequately address the City's planning needs. Therefore, the level of service should be reviewed after an agreed upon period of time with the staff assigned to the City's Planning Department being adjusted in response to actual demands. RELATED EXPERIENCE Willdan Associates has extensive experience in successfully providing planning services to Southern California communities on both an interim and permanent basis. Our planners currently serve as the planning department staff for the Cities of La Habra Heights and Hidden Hills, and the recently incorporated Town of Apple Valley. We are also presently serving as Special Planning Advisor to the — Cities of Westlake Village and West Hollywood and are proving overload/temporary services to the Cities of Redlands, Rolling Hills Estates, Fillmore, Lynwood, Lake Elsinore, Dana Point, and Agoura Hills. Furthermore, during the past three years, we have served as the acting or interim planning department staff for over a dozen additional cities, including Bell Gardens, Hawaiian Gardens, Stanton, Hesperia, South Pasadena, and Seal Beach. Of particular relevance is our experience in providing City Planning Services to newly incorporated cities. We currently provide a full service planning department to the Town of Apple Valley. This includes a staff of 6 professionals and 2 secretaries, all Willdan employees, who conduct business on the Town's behalf. We were responsible for conducting the transition from county to local control and for establishing the systems and procedures for the operation of the Town's planning department. — We have also served as the planning department staff for the City of La Habra Heights since shortly after its incorporation in 1978. Similarly, we assisted the then newly incorporated City of West Hollywood with the organization and establishment of its planning department in 1985 and continue to serve the City today as its Special Planning Advisor. In 1985, we also assisted the City of Moreno Valley with the processing of a sizeable backlog of planning permit applications that it inherited from the County of Riverside upon incorporation. References for several recent or ongoing assignments involving City Planning Services are presented below. The names and telephone numbers of contact persons have been included as requested. _ Town of Apple Valley City of Westlake Village Mr. Wayne Lemoreaux Mr. Larry Bagley (619) 240-7050 (818) 706-1613 _ City of Hidden Hills City of West Hollywood Ms. Cherie Paglia Mr. Mike Winogrond _ (818) 888-9281 (213) 854-7475 City of Rolling Hills Estates Mr. Ray Taylor — (213) 377-1577 PROTECT MANAGEMENT Willdan Associates utilizes a project management approach which assures that adequate corporate resources (both in'terms of the number and qualifications of personnel) are allocated to each assignment consistent with our understanding of the client's needs and expectations. Each job is assigned to a senior staff member who leads a team assembled from our technical staff. Experience in the type of job, knowledge of the subject environs and availability to support the required schedule are primary considerations in the selection of a project manager. Mr. Sam Reed, a Senior Planner with Willdan Associates, would have primary responsibility for delivering the contract planning services required by the City. Mr. Reed is particularly well-qualified to serve in this capacity. For the past seven months, he has served as the Deputy Town Planner for the Town of Apple Valley. Prior to joining Willdan, he held the position of Associate Planner in the newly incorporated City of Moreno Valley. During his five years as a professional planner, Mr. Reed has been exposed to all aspects of planning, ranging from zoning administration and long-range planning to environmental review. Mr. Reed will be assisted by two of our fully qualified Planning Technicians. In addition to the individuals named above, Mr. Ross Geller, Principal Planner, will be available to provide technical assistance and consultation as necessary. Collectively, the staff to be assigned by Willdan Associates has over 20 years of experience in dealing with a wide range of planning -related issues in a variety of locales. We feel that the breadth and depth of their experience, combined with the knowledge of the specialists who will be at their disposal, will allow them to effectively deal with any situation- that could conceivably arise in the City of Diamond Bar. Resumes for Messrs. Reed and Geller are presented on the pages that follow. It should pointed out that no subcontractors are to be utilized in providing the services outlined herein. SAMUEL J. REED POSITION: Senior Planner EDUCATION: University of California at Los Angeles B.A. Geography/Environmental Policy 1985 EXPERIENCE: As a Senior Planner in Willdan Associates' Planning Services Division, Mr. Reed has been responsible for a variety of contract current planning services and special studies. With a background in environmental science and policy, he oversees and manages project compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. His knowledge and experience with the Subdivision Map Act and other California planning requirements allow him to supervise technical and support staff in the processing of a wide range of development and zoning applications. Mr. Reed has been most actively involved in the processing of subdivisions and commercial site plans for the Town of Apple Valley since he joined Willdan Associates in early 1989. His "hands-on' approach to case review and public presentations has translated into comprehensive and effective processing of complex proposals. Prior to joining Willdan Associates, Mr. Reed served as Associate Planner in the newly incorporated City of Moreno Valley. In that capacity, he assisted in designing the permit processing system and was the lead planner for Moreno Valley Ranch, a 4,000 -acre master planned community for 36,000 new residents. His knowledge of grading principles, landscaping, site and subdivision design, and public presentation skills was utilized extensively throughout his three years in the City of Moreno Valley. In addition to this public sector experience, Mr. Reed was previously employed as a Research Assistant for the environmental engineering firm of Ralph Stone and Company in Los Angeles. Mr. Reed assisted in the completion of studies related to grading, underground gas migration, home siting, slope stability, and refuse collection. It was during this period that he developed his ability to effectively interface with engineers and other technical professions. ASSOCIATIONS AND AFFILIATIONS: American Planning Association ROSS S. GELLFR POSITION: Principal Planner EDUCATION: California Polytechnic University - Pomona Bachelor of Science, Urban Planning California State University - Fullerton Master of Arts, Public Administration (in progress) EXPERIENCE: Mr. Geller is a senior member of Willdan Associates' Planning Services Division. In this capacity, he is responsible for the preparation of special planning studies and environmental impact reports as well as a wide range of administrative/project management _ activities. Mr. Geller is also responsible for overseeing all aspects of the Planning Services Division's contractual planning assignments. Mr. Geller has supervised planning projects ranging from the preparation of General Plans and Specific Plans to detailed technical planning studies. Examples of recent General Plan work includes the update programs for the Cities of Hawaiian Gardens, Grand Terrace and Gardena. In terms of planning studies, Mr. Geller has prepared conceptual design plans for the City of Whittier's Greenleaf Corridor and the City of Sanger's North Academy Avenue Area. Other planning studies have included developing design criteria to improve the livability of residential units located along heavily traveled arterial highways and parking demand studies. — Mr. Geller oversees the Planning Services Divisions contract planning activities. Mr. Geller has personally served as Planning Advisor to three Southern California cities and has overseen both permanent and interim contract service activities for nearly 20 cities over the past five years. He is currently the Town Planner for the Town of Apple Valley. Mr. Geller has also administered the public im- provement components of the County of Los Angeles's Community Business Revitalization Program within the Second Supervisorial District. In this capacity, he was responsible for formulating a program of public improvements in conjunction with local business associations and County staff, coordinating the preparation of design specifications for bid packages, obtaining the proper clearances from County departments and administering the construction process. Mr. Geller has also prepared Environmental Impact Reports for both public and private sector development proposals. Representative projects include high rise office projects, multi -product residential developments, industrial parks, water/wastewater plants and microwave transmission facilities. Prior to joining Willdan Associates, Mr. Geller was an Associate Planner with the planning consulting firm of L.. D. King, Inc. In this capacity he participated in numerous projects and managed several major planning studies including the Joint Powers Authority Water Treatment Plant EIR, the R. H. Wagner Properties Specific Plan and the Seven Palms Ranch EIR. Mr. Geller was also involved in updating of general plans for the Cities of Montclair and Fontana. In addition to his private sector experience, Mr. Geller was also previously employed as a full-time paid intem with both the City of Fontana and the County of Riverside. His assignments involved the preparation of environmental assessments (including a Master — Environmental Assessment for a six -city area in Riverside County), annexation studies and other current planning reports. He was also involved in the processing of subdivision maps and conducting public opinion surveys and community meetings. ASSOCIATIONS AND AFFILIATIONS: American Planning Association PROJECT FEE In an attempt to make the City's Planning Department as self-sufficient as possible, Willdan Associates is suggesting a two-part fee for the services previously mentioned. The processing of private development plans or other applications would be performed for 80 percent of the filing fees that are collected by the City between January 2, 1990 and June 30, 1990. We understand that the fees currently being charged by the City (i.e., Los Angeles County fee schedule) will be reviewed for their adequacy and increased, if necessary, during the period of transition from County to local control. In this manner, the fees that are collected will pay for our processing time. Aside from the actual processing of applications, there are other basic services that the City is requesting and for which the City will have to absorb the cost. These basic services would include such tasks as the operation of the Planning Department Information Counter, general office administration, and attendance at all Planning Commission, City Council and other board or commission meetings. For the purposes of this proposal, we are assuming a minimum of two meetings each per month with the Planning Commission and City Council. At a minimum, we understand that the City would like someone available at the Planning Department Information Counter 20 hours per week and, therefore, Willdan Associates will provide this level of coverage. This responsibility would be shared by the Senior Planner and Planning Technicians to be assigned to City Hall. These non -permit processing activities would be performed on an hourly basis in accordance with the schedule of hourly rates presented at the rear of this section. These hourly rates are fully burdened and include wages, benefits, all necessary insurance, and other non -personnel costs associated with providing the desired services to the City of Diamond Bar. The City will not be charged for portal-to-portal costs, but only for the hours actually expended by our staff in Diamond Bar. The foregoing discussion assumes that office space is available to accommodate two planners at City Hall. It would be our intention to maintain all planning case files at City Hall rather than at our office.

It should be noted that the foregoing wage rates are effective through June 30, 1990. The rates may be adjusted after that date to compensate for labor adjustments and other increases in other costs. 07/28/99 Effective 8/1/89 APPF1 DEK Certificates of Insurance that provide documentation of our insurance coverage will be issued prior to our beginning work on this assignment.

A minimum limit of $3,000,000 per occurrence and annual aggregate for general and professional liability insurance as indicated below. 2.

We propose the following sections for inclusion in an agreement between Willdan and the City that would specify sufficient indemnification and insurance coverage for the services to be provided. ENGINEER agrees to save, keep, hold harmless and indemnify CITY and its officers, and employees from all damages, in law and equity caused by any negligent act, error, or omission to act on the part of ENGINEER or any of its officers, employees or subcontractors.

SECTION 2 METHODS OF REDUCING FLOOD LOSSES In order to accomplish its purposes, this ordinance includes methods and provisions for: A. Restricting or prohibiting uses which are dangerous to health, safety, and property due to water or erosion hazards, or which result in damaging increases in erosion or flood heights or velocities; B. Requiring that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve such uses, be protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction; C. Controlling the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels, and natural protective barriers, which help accommodate or channel flood waters; SECTION 3 D. Controlling filling, grading, dredging, and other development which may increase flood damage; and, E. Preventing or regulating the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally divert flood waters or which may increase flood hazards in other areas. DEFINITIONS Unless specifically defined below, words or phrases used in this ordinance shall be interpreted so as to give them the meaning they have in common usage and to give this ordinance its most reasonable application. "Appeal" means a request for a review of the Floodplain Administrator's interpretation of any provision of this ordinance or a request for a variance. 'Area of shallow floodingmeans a designated AO or AH Zone on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). The base flood depths range from one to three feet; a clearly defined channel does not exist; the path of flooding is unpredictable and indeterminate; and velocity flow may be evident. "Area of special flood -related erosion hazard" is the area subject to severe flood - related erosion losses. The area is designated as Zone E on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). "Area of special flood hazard - see "Special flood hazard area". "Area of special mudslide (i.e., mudflow) hazard" is the area subject to severe mudslides (i.e., mudifows). The area is designated as Zone M on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). 'Base flood" means the flood having a one percent chance of being equalled or exceeded in any given year (also called the "100 -year flood"). "Basement" means any area of the building having its floor subgrade (below ground level) on all sides. 'Development' means any man-made change to improved or unimproved real estate, including but not limited to buildings or other structures, mining, dredging, filling, grading, paving, excavation or drilling operations. 2 'Flood or flooding' means a general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of normally dry land areas from (1) the overflow of flood waters, (2) the unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of surface waters from any source, and/or (3) the collapse or subsidence of land along the shore of a lake or other body of water as a result of erosion or undermining caused by waves or currents of water exceeding anticipated cyclical levels or suddenly caused by an unusually high water level in a natural body of water, accompanied by a severe storm, or by an unanticipated force of nature, such as flash flood or an abnormal tidal surge, or by some similarly unusual and unforeseeable event which results in flooding as defined in this definition. 'FLOOD BOUNDARY AND FLOODWAY MAP' means the official map on which the Federal Emergency Management Agency or Federal Insurance Administration has delineated both the areas of flood hazard and the floodway. 'Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM)' means the official map on which the Federal Emergency Management Agency or Federal Insurance Administration has delineated both the areas of special flood hazards and the risk premium zones applicable to the community. 'Flood Insurance Stu dv' means the official report provided by the Federal Insurance Administration that includes flood profiles, the FIRM, the Flood Boundary and Floodway Map, and the water surface elevation of the base flood. 'Floodplain or flood-prone area means any land area susceptible to being inundated by water from any source (see definition of "flooding"). 'Floodplain management' means the operation of an overall program of corrective and preventive measures for reducing flood damage, including but not limited to emergency preparedness plans, flood control works and floodplain management regulations. 'Floodplain management regulations' means zoning ordinances, subdivision regulations, building codes, health regulations, special purpose ordinances (such as floodplain ordinance, grading ordinance and erosion control ordinance) and other applications of police power. The term describes such state or local regulations in any combination thereof, which provide standards for the purpose of flood damage prevention and reduction. 'Floodproofing' means any combination of structural and nonstructural additions, changes, or adjustments to structures which reduce or eliminate flood damage to real estate or improved real property, water and sanitary facilities, structures and their contents. 'Floodwav' means the channel of a river or other watercourse and the adjacent land areas that must be reserved in order to discharge the base flood without cumulatively increasing the water surface elevation more than one foot. Also referred to as "Regulatory floodway". 3 'Highest adiacent grade' means the highest natural elevation of the ground surface prior to construction next to the proposed walls of a structure. 'Lowest floor' means the lowest floor of the lowest enclosed area (including basement). An unfinished or flood resistant enclosure, usable solely for parking of vehicles, building access or storage in an area other than a basement area is not considered a building's lowest floor; provided, that such enclosure is not built so as to render the structure in violation of the applicable non-elevation design requirements of this ordinance. 'Manufactured home' means a structure, transportable in one or more sections, which is built on a permanent chassis and is designed for use with or without a permanent foundation when connected to the required utilities. For floodplain management purposes the term "manufactured home" also includes park trailers, travel trailers and other similar vehicles placed on a site for greater than 180 consecutive days. 'Manufactured home park or subdivision' means a parcel (or contiguous parcels) of land divided into two or more manufactured home lots for sale or rent. 'Mean sea level" means, for purposes of the National Flood Insurance Program, the National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) of 1929 or other datum, to which base flood elevations shown on a community's Flood Insurance Rate Map are referenced. 'New construction' means, for floodplain management purposes, structures for which the "start of construction" commenced on or after the effective date of a floodplain management regulation adopted by this community. 'One hundred year flood' or'100-year flood' means a flood which has a one percent annual probability of being equalled or exceeded. It is identical to the "base flood", which will be the term used throughout this ordinance. 'Person' means an individual or his agent, firm, partnership, association or corporation, or agent of the aforementioned groups, or the state or its agencies or political subdivisions. 'Remedy a violation' means to bring the structure or other development into compliance with State or local floodplain management regulations, or, if this is not possible, to reduce the impacts of its noncompliance. Ways that impacts may be reduced include protecting the structure or other affected development from flood damages, implementing the enforcement provisions of the ordinance or otherwise deterring future similar violations, or reducing Federal financial exposure with regard to the structure or other development. 'Riverline' means relating to, formed by, or resembling a river (including tributaries), steam, brook, etc. 4 'Special flood hazard area (SFHA)means an area having special flood or flood - related erosion hazards, and shown on an FHBM or FIRM as Zone A, AO, A1-30, AE, A99, or AH. 'Start of Construction' includes substantial improvement, and means the date the building permit was issued, provided the actual start of construction, repair, reconstruction, placement, or other improvement was within 180 days of the permit date. The actual start means either the first placement of permanent construction of a structure on a site, such as the pouring of slab or footings, the installation of piles, the construction of columns, or any work beyond the stage of excavation; or the placement of a manufactured home on a foundation. Permanent construction does not include land preparation, such as clearing, grading and filling; nor does it include the installation of streets and/or walkways; nor does it include excavation for a basement, footings, piers, or foundations or the erection of temporary forms; nor does it induce the installation on the property of accessory buildings, such as garages or sheds not occupied as dwelling units or not part of the main structure. "Structure' means a walled and roofed building, including a gas or liquid storage tank, that is principally above ground, as well as a manufactured home. 'Substantial improvement' means any repair, reconstruction, or improvement of a structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50 percent of the market value of the structure either: a. before the improvement or repair is started; or b. if the structure has been damaged, and is being restored, before the damage occurred. For the purposes of this definition "substantial improvement" is considered to occur when the first alteration of any wall, ceiling, floor, or other structural part of the building commences, whether or not that alteration affects the external dimensions of the structure. The term does not, however, include either: a. any project for improvement of a structure to comply with existing state or local health, sanitary, or safety code specifications which are solely necessary to assure safe living conditions; or b. any alteration of a structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places or a State Inventory of Historic Places. 'Variance' means a grant of relief from the requirements of this ordinance which permits construction in a manner that would otherwise be prohibited by this ordinance. 5 'Violation' means the failure of a structure or other development to be fully compliant with the community's floodplain management regulations. A structure or other development without the elevation certificate, other certifications, or other evidence of compliance required in this ordinance is presumed to be in violation until such time as that documentation is provided. SECTION 4 LANDS TO WHICH THIS ORDINANCE APPLIES This ordinance shall apply to all areas of special flood hazards, areas of flood - related erosion hazards and areas of mudslide (i.e., mudflow) hazards within the jurisdiction of the City of Diamond Bar. SECTION 5 BASIS FOR ESTABLISHING THE AREAS OF SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD. The areas of special flood hazard, areas of flood -related erosion hazards and areas of mudslide (i.e., mudflow) hazards identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or the Federal Insurance Administration in a scientific and engineering report entitled "Flood Insurance Study of the County of Los Angeles and all revisions thereto, with an accompanying Flood Insurance Rate Map is hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this ordinance. This Flood Insurance Study is on file at the City of Diamond Bar City Hall. This Flood Insurance Study is the minimum area of applicability of this ordinance and may be supplemented by studies for other areas which allow implementation of this ordinance and which are recommended to the City Council by the Floodplain Administrator. SECTION 6 COMPLIANCE. No structure or land shall hereafter be constructed, located, extended, converted, or altered without full compliance with the terms of this ordinance and other applicable regulations. Violations of the provisions of this ordinance by failure to comply with any of its requirements (including violations of conditions and safeguards established in connection with conditions) shall constitute a misdemeanor. Nothing herein shall prevent the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar from taking such lawful action as is necessary to prevent or remedy any violation. SECTION 7 ABROGATION AND GREATER RESTRICTIONS. This ordinance is not intended to repeal, abrogate, or impair any existing easements, covenants, or deed restrictions. However, where this ordinance and another ordinance, easement, covenant, or deed restriction conflict or overlap, whichever imposes the more stringent restrictions shall prevail. R SECTION 8 INTERPRETATION. In the interpretation and application of this ordinance, all provisions shall be; A. Considered as minimum requirements; B. Liberally construed in favor of the governing body; and, C. Deemed neither to limit nor repeal any other powers granted under state statutes. SECTION 9 WARNING AND DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY. The degree of flood protection required by this ordinance is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on scientific and engineering considerations. Larger floods can and will occur on rare occasions. Flood heights may be increased by man-made or natural causes. This ordinance does not imply that land outside the areas of special flood hazards, areas of flood -related erosion hazards and areas of mudslide (i.e., mudflow) hazards or uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding or flood damages. This ordinance shall not create liability on the part of the City of Diamond Bar, any officer or employee thereof, or the Federal Insurance Administration, for any flood damages that result from reliance on this ordinance or any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder. SECTION 10 ESTABLISHMENT OF DEVELOPMENT PERMIT. A Development Permit shall be obtained before construction or development begins within any area of special flood hazards, areas of flood -related erosion hazards or areas of mudslide (i.e., mudflow) established in Section 5. Application for a Development Permit shall be made on forms furnished by the Floodplain Administrator and may include, but not be limited to: plans in duplicate drawn to scale showing the nature, location, dimensions, and elevation of the area in question; existing or proposed structures, fill, storage of materials, drainage facilities; and the location of the foregoing. Specifically, the following information is required: A. Proposed elevation in relation to mean sea level, of the lowest floor (including basement) of all structures; in Zone AO elevation of highest adjacent grade and proposed elevation of lowest floor of all structures. B. Proposed elevation in relation to mean sea level to which any structure will be floodproofed; C. All appropriate certifications listed in Section 12.0 of this ordinance; and D. Description of the extent to which any watercourse will be altered or relocated as a result of proposed development. 7 SECTION 11 DESIGNATION OF THE FLOODPLAIN ADMINISTRATOR. The City Manager is hereby appointed to administer and implement this ordinance by granting or denying development permits in accordance with its provisions. SECTION 12 DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE FLOODPLAIN ADMINISTRATOR. The duties and responsibilities of the floodplain administrator shall include, but not be limited to: A. Permit review. 1.

The proposed development does not adversely affect the carrying capacity of areas where base flood elevations have been determined but a floodway has not been designated. For purposes of this ordinance, "adversely affects" means that the cumulative effect of the proposed development when combined with all other existing and anticipated development will not increase the water surface elevation of the base flood more than one foot at any point. B. Use of Other Base Flood Data. When base flood elevation data has not been provided in accordance with Section 5, the Floodplain Administrator shall obtain, review, and reasonably utilize any base flood elevation and floodway data available from a Federal, State or other source, in order to administer Section 13 through 19. Any such information shall be submitted to the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar for adoption. C. Whenever a watercourse is to be altered or relocated: Notify adjacent communities and the California Department of Water Resources prior to such alteration or relocation of a watercourse, and submit evidence of such notification to the Federal Insurance Administration; 2. Require that the flood carrying capacity of the altered or relocated portion of said watercourse is maintained. 8 D. Obtain and maintain for public inspection and make available as needed: 1. the certification required in Section 13.C.1 (floor elevations); 2. the certification required in Section 13.C.2 (elevations in areas of shallow flooding); 3. the certification required in Section 13.C.3.c (elevation orfloodproofing of nonresidential structures); 4. the certification required in section 13.C.4.a or 13.C.4.b.

Require within Zones AH or AO adequate drainage paths around structures on slopes to guide flood waters around and away from proposed structures. C. Elevation and Floodproofing New construction and substantial improvement of any structure shall have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated to or above the base flood elevation. Nonresidential structures may meet the standards in Section 13.C.3. Upon the completion of the structure the elevation of the lowest floor including basement shall be certified by a registered professional engineer or surveyor, or verified by the community building inspector to be properly elevated. Such certification or verification shall be provided to the Floodplain Administrator. 2. New construction and substantial improvement of any structure in Zone AO shall have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated above the highest adjacent grade at least as high as the depth number specified in feet on the FIRM, or at least two feet if no depth number is specified. Nonresidential structures may meet the standards in Section 13.C.3. Upon the completion of the structure the elevation of the lowest floor including basement shall be certified by a registered professional engineer or surveyor, or verified by the community building inspector to be properly elevated. Such certification or verification shall be provided to the Floodplain Administrator. 3. Nonresidential construction shall either be elevated in conformance with Section 13.C.1. or 2. or together with attendant utility and sanitary facilities: a. be floodproofed so that below the base flood level the structure is watertight with walls substantially impermeable to the passage of water; b. have structural components capable of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and effects of buoyancy; and C. be certified by a registered professional engineer that the standards of this subsection are satisfied. Such certifications shall be provided to the Floodplain Administrator. 10 4. Require, for all new construction and substantial improvements, that fully enclosed areas below the lowest floor that are subject to flooding shall be designed to automatically equalize hydrostatic flood forces on exterior walls by allowing for the entry and exit of floodwaters. Designs for meeting this requirement must either be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect or meet or exceed the following minimum criteria: a. Either a minimum of two openings having a total net area of not less than one square inch for every square foot of enclosed area subject to flooding shall be provided. The bottom of all openings shall be no higher than one foot above grade. Openings may be equipped with screens, louvers, valves or other coverings or devices provided that they permit the automatic entry and exit of floodwaters; or b. Be certified to comply with a local floodproofing standard approved by the Federal Insurance Administration. 5. Manufactured homes shall also meet the standards in Section 16. SECTION 14 STANDARDS FOR UTILITIES A. All new and replacement water supply and sanitary sewage systems shall be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the system and discharge from systems into flood waters. B. On-site waste disposal systems shall be located to avoid impairment to them or contamination from them during flooding. SECTION 15 STANDARDS FOR SUBDIVISIONS. A. All preliminary subdivision proposals shall identify the flood hazard area and the elevation of the base flood. B.

All subdivision proposals shall be consistent with the need to minimize flood damage. D. All subdivision proposals shall have public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical and water systems located and constructed to minimize flood damage. E. All subdivisions shall provide adequate drainage to reduce exposure to flood hazards. 11 SECTION 16 STANDARDS FOR MANUFACTURED HOMES. All new and replacement manufactured homes and additions to manufactured homes shall: A. Be elevated so that the lowest floor is at or above the base flood elevation; and B. Be securely anchored to a permanent foundation system to resist flotation, collapse or lateral movement. SECTION 17 FLOODWAYS. Located within areas of special flood hazard established in Section 5 are areas designated as floodways. Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous area due to the velocity of flood waters which carry debris, potential projectiles, and erosion potential, the following provisions apply: A. Prohibit encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements, and other development unless certification by a registered professional engineer is provided demonstrating that encroachments shall not result in any increase in flood levels during the occurrence of the base flood discharge. B. If Section 17.A. is satisfied, all new construction and substantial improvements shall comply with all other applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of Sections 13 through 19 . SECTION 18 MUDSLIDE (i.e., MUDFLOW)-PRONE AREAS A. The Floodplain Administrator shall review permits for proposed construction or other development to determine if it is proposed within a mudslide area. B. Permits shall be reviewed to determine that the proposed development is reasonably safe from mudslide hazards. Factors to be considered in making this determination include but are not limited to: 1. The type and quality of soils; 2. Evidence of ground water or surface water. problems; 3. The depth and quality of any fill; 4. The overall slope of the site; and 5. The weight that any proposed development will impose on the slope. 12 C. Within areas which have mudslide hazards, the following requirements apply: 1. A site investigation and further review shall be made by persons qualified in geology and soils engineering; 2. The proposed grading, excavation, new construction and substantial improvements shall be adequately designed and protected against mudslide damages; 3. The proposed grading, excavations, new construction and substantial Improvements do not aggravate the existing hazard by creating either on-site or off-site disturbances; and 4. Drainage, planting, watering and maintenance shall not endanger slope stability. D. Within Zone M on the Flood Insurance Rate Map, the community shall adopt a drainage ordinance which at least complies with the standards of Sections 7001 through 7006 and Sections 7008 through 7015 of the most recent amendment of the 1985 Uniform Building Code, and Chapter 70 of the most recent amendment of the 1987 Los Angeles County Department of Public Works Building Code or such successor codes as may be adopted, from time to time, by the City of Diamond Bar. 1. The location of foundation and utility systems of new construction and substantial improvements; 2. The location, drainage and maintenance of all excavations, cuts and fills and planted slopes; 3. Protective measures including but not limited to retaining walls, buttress fills, subdrains, diverter terraces, benchings, etc.; and 4. Engineering drawings and specifications to be submitted for all corrective measures, accompanied by supporting soils engineering and geology reports. SECTION 19 FLOOD -RELATED EROSION -PRONE AREAS. A. The Floodplain Administrator shall require permits for proposed construction and other development within all flood -related erosion -prone areas as known to the community. B. Such permits shall be reviewed to determine whether the proposed site alterations and improvements will be reasonably safe from flood -related erosion and will not cause flood -related erosion hazards or otherwise aggravate the existing hazard. 13 C. If a proposed improvement is found to be in the path of flood -related erosion or would increase the erosion hazard, such improvement shall be relocated or adequate protective measures shall be taken to avoid aggravating the existing erosion hazard. D. Within Zone E on the Flood Insurance Rate Map, a setback is required for all new development from the ocean, take, bay, riverfront or other body of water to create a safety buffer consisting of a natural vegetative or contour strip. This buffer shall be designated according to the flood -related erosion hazard and erosion rate, in relation to the anticipated "useful life" of structures, and depending upon the geologic, hydrologic, topographic and climatic characteristics of the land. The buffer may be used for suitable open space purposes, such as for agricultural, forestry, outdoor recreation and wildlife habitat areas, and for other activities using temporary and portable structures only. SECTION 10 APPEAL BOARD A. The City Council of the City of Diamond Bar shall hear and decide appeals and requests for variances from the requirements of this ordinance. B. The City Council shall hear and decide appeals when it is alleged there is an error in any requirement, decision, or determination made by the Floodplain Administrator in the enforcement or administration of this ordinance. C. In passing upon such applications, the City Council shall consider all technical evaluations, all relevant factors, standards specified in other sections of this ordinance, and: 1. the danger that materials may be swept onto other lands to the injury of others; 2. the danger of life and property due to flooding or erosion damage; 3. the susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to flood damage and the effect of such damage on the individual owner; 4. the importance of the services provided by the proposed facility to the community; 5. the necessity to the facility of a waterfront location, where applicable; 6. the availability of alternative locations for the proposed use which are not subject to flooding or erosion damage; 7. the compatibility of the proposed use with existing and anticipated development; 14 8. the relationship of the proposed use to the comprehensive plan and floodplain management program for that area; 9. the safety of access to the property in time of flood for ordinary and emergency vehicles; 10. the expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise, and sediment transport of the flood waters expected at the site; and, 11. the costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions, including maintenance and repair of public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water system, and streets and bridges. D. Generally, variances may be issued for new construction and substantial improvements to be erected on a lot of one-half acre or less in size contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing structures constructed below the base flood level, providing items 20.C.1. through 20.C.11 have been fully considered. As the lot size increases beyond one-half acre, the technical justification required for issuing the variance increases. E. Upon consideration of the factors of Section 20.0 and the purposes of this ordinance, the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar may attach such conditions to the granting of variances as it deems necessary to further the purposes of this ordinance. F. The Floodplain Administrator shall maintain the records of all appeal actions and report any variances to the Federal Insurance Administration upon request. SECTION 21 CONDITIONS FOR VARIANCES A. Variances may be issued for the reconstruction, rehabilitation or restoration of structures listed in the National Register of Historic Places or the State Inventory of Historic Places, without regard to the procedures set forth in the remainder of this section. B. Variances shall not be issued within any designated floodway if any increase in flood levels during the base flood discharge would result. C. Variances shall only be issued upon a determination that the variance is the minimum necessary, considering the flood hazard, to afford relief. D. Variances shall only be issued upon: 1. a showing of good and sufficient cause; 2. a determination that failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional hardship to the applicant; and is 3. a determination that the granting of a variance will not result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, create nuisances, cause fraud on or victimization of the public, or conflict with existing local laws or ordinances. E. Variances may be issued for new construction and substantial improvements and for other development necessary for the conduct of a functionally dependent use provided that the provisions of Sections 21.A through 21.D are satisfied and that the structure or other development is protected by methods that minimize flood damages during the base flood and create no additional threats to public safety. F. Any applicant to whom a variance is granted shall be given written notice that the structure will be permitted to be built with a lowest floor elevation below the regulatory flood elevation and that the cost of flood insurance will be commensurate with the increased risk resulting from the reduced lowest floor elevation. A copy of the notice shall be recorded by the Floodplain Board in the office of the Los Angeles County Recorder and shall be recorded in a manner so that it appears in the chain of title of the affected parcel of land. 16 ------------------ CITY OF DIAMOND BAR AGENDA REPORT November 16, 1989 TO: CITY COUNCIL VIA: ROBERT L.

(iv) There presently exist within the City of Diamond Bar flood hazard areas which are subject to periodic inundation which results in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of tax base, all of which adversely affects the public health, safety and welfare. (v) Flood losses are caused by the cumulative effect of obstructions in areas of special flood hazard which increase flood heights and velocities and, when inadequately anchored, damage property and uses thereof in other areas. Structures and 1 uses that are inadequately flood proofed, elevated or otherwise protected from flood damage also contribute to flood loss. (vi) The City Council of the City of Diamond Bar desires to implement this Ordinance in order to ensure the maximum protection available to the citizens of the community and to ensure continued participation in the NFIP. (vii) All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred. H. Ordinance.

For the purposes of this definition "substantial improvement" is considered to occur when the first alteration of any wall, ceiling, floor, or other structural part of the building commences, whether or not that alteration affects the external dimensions of the structure. The term does not, however, include either: a. any project for improvement of a structure to comply with existing state or local health, sanitary, or safety code specifications which are solely necessary to assure safe living conditions; or b. any alteration of a structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places or a State Inventory of Historic Places. 'Variance' means a grant of relief from the requirements of this ordinance which permits construction in a manner that would otherwise be prohibited by this ordinance. 5 'Violation' means the failure of a structure or other development to be fully compliant with the community's floodplain management regulations. A structure or other development without the elevation certificate, other certifications, or other evidence of compliance required in this ordinance is presumed to be in violation until such time as that documentation is provided. SECTION 4 LANDS TO WHICH THIS ORDINANCE APPLIES This ordinance shall apply to all areas of special flood hazards, areas of flood - related erosion hazards and areas of mudslide (i.e., mudflow) hazards within the jurisdiction of the City of Diamond Bar. SECTION 5 BASIS FOR ESTABLISHING THE AREAS OF SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD. The areas of special flood hazard, areas of flood -related erosion hazards and areas of mudslide (i.e., mudflow) hazards identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or the Federal Insurance Administration in a scientific and engineering report entitled "Flood Insurance Study of the County of Los Angeles and all revisions thereto, with an accompanying Flood Insurance Rate Map is hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this ordinance. This Flood Insurance Study is on file at the City of Diamond Bar City Hall. This Flood Insurance Study is the minimum area of applicability of this ordinance and may be supplemented by studies for other areas which allow implementation of this ordinance and which are recommended to the City Council by the Floodplain Administrator. SECTION 6 COMPLIANCE. No structure or land shall hereafter be constructed, located, extended, converted, or altered without full compliance with the terms of this ordinance and other applicable regulations.

Nothing herein shall prevent the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar from taking such lawful action as is necessary to prevent or remedy any violation. SECTION 7 ABROGATION AND GREATER RESTRICTIONS. This ordinance is not intended to repeal, abrogate, or impair any existing easements, covenants, or deed restrictions. However, where this ordinance and another ordinance, easement, covenant, or deed restriction conflict or overlap, whichever imposes the more stringent restrictions shall prevail. 6 SECTION 8 INTERPRETATION. In the interpretation and application of this ordinance, all provisions shall be: A. Considered as minimum requirements; B. Liberally construed in favor of the governing body; and, C. Deemed neither to limit nor repeal any other powers granted under state statutes. SECTION 9 WARNING AND DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY. The degree of flood protection required by this ordinance is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on scientific and engineering considerations. Larger floods can and will occur on rare occasions. Flood heights may be increased by man-made or natural causes. This ordinance does not imply that land outside the areas of special flood hazards, areas of flood -related erosion hazards and areas of mudslide (i.e., mudflow) hazards or uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding or flood damages. This ordinance shall not create liability on the part of the City of Diamond Bar, any officer or employee thereof, or the Federal Insurance Administration, for any flood damages that result from reliance on this ordinance or any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder. SECTION 10 ESTABLISHMENT OF DEVELOPMENT PERMIT. A Development Permit shall be obtained before construction or development begins within any area of special flood hazards, areas of flood -related erosion hazards or areas of mudslide (i.e., mudflow) established in Section 5. Application for a Development Permit shall be made on forms furnished by the Floodplain Administrator and may include, but not be limited to: plans in duplicate drawn to scale showing the nature, location, dimensions, and elevation of the area in question; existing or proposed structures, fill, storage of materials, drainage facilities; and the location of the foregoing. Specifically, the following information is required: A. Proposed elevation in relation to mean sea level, of the lowest floor (including basement) of all structures: in Zone AO elevation of highest adjacent grade and proposed elevation of lowest floor of all structures.

Be securely anchored to a permanent foundation system to resist flotation, collapse or lateral movement. SECTION 17 FLOODWAYS. Located within areas of special flood hazard established in Section 5 are areas designated as floodways. Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous area due to the velocity of flood waters which carry debris, potential projectiles, and erosion potential, the following provisions apply: A. Prohibit encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements, and other development unless certification by a registered professional engineer is provided demonstrating that encroachments shall not result in any increase in flood levels during the occurrence of the base flood discharge. B. If Section 17.A. is satisfied, all new construction and substantial improvements shall comply with all other applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of Sections 13 through 19 . SECTION 18 MUDSUDE C.e., MUDFLOW)-PRONE AREAS A. The Floodplain Administrator shall review permits for proposed construction or other development to determine if it is proposed within a mudslide area. B. Permits shall be reviewed to determine that the proposed development is reasonably safe from mudslide hazards. Factors to be considered in making this determination include but are not limited to: 1. The type and quality of soils; 2. Evidence of ground water or surface water problems; 3. The depth and quality of any fill; 4. The overall slope of the site; and 5. The weight that any proposed development will impose on the slope. 12 C. Within areas which have mudslide hazards, the following requirements apply: 1. A site investigation and further review shall be made by persons qualified in geology and soils engineering; 2. The proposed grading, excavation, new construction and substantial improvements shall be adequately designed and protected against mudslide damages; 3. The proposed grading, excavations, new construction and substantial improvements do not aggravate the existing hazard by creating either on-site or off-site disturbances; and 4.

Within Zone M on the Flood Insurance Rate Map, the community shall adopt a drainage ordinance which at least complies with the standards of Sections 7001 through 7006 and Sections 7008 through 7015 of the most recent amendment of the 1985 Uniform Building Code, and Chapter 70 of the most recent amendment of the 1987 Los Angeles County Department of Public Works Building Code or such successor codes as may be adopted, from time to time, by the City of Diamond Bar. 1. The location of foundation and utility systems of new construction and substantial improvements; 2. The location, drainage and maintenance of all excavations, cuts and fills and planted slopes; 3. Protective measures including but not limited to retaining walls, buttress fills, subdrains, diverter terraces, benchings, etc.; and 4. Engineering drawings and specifications to be submitted for all corrective measures, accompanied by supporting soils engineering and geology reports. SECTION 19 FLOOD -RELATED EROSION -PRONE AREAS. A. The Floodplain Administrator shall require permits for proposed construction and other development within all flood -related erosion -prone areas as known to the community. B. Such permits shall be reviewed to determine whether the proposed site alterations and improvements will be reasonably safe from flood -related erosion and will not cause flood -related erosion hazards or otherwise aggravate the existing hazard. 13 C. If a proposed improvement is found to be in the path of flood -related erosion or would increase the erosion hazard, such improvement shall be relocated or adequate protective measures shall be taken to avoid aggravating the existing erosion hazard. D. Within Zone E on the Flood Insurance Rate Map, a setback is required for all new development from the ocean, lake, bay, riverfront or other body of water to create a safety buffer consisting of a natural vegetative or contour strip. This buffer shall be designated according to the flood -related erosion hazard and erosion rate, in relation to the anticipated "useful life" of structures, and depending upon the geologic, hydrologic, topographic and climatic characteristics of the land. The buffer may be used for suitable open space purposes, such as for agricultural, forestry, outdoor recreation and wildlife habitat areas, and for other activities using temporary and portable structures only. SECTION 10 APPEAL BOARD A. The City Council of the City of Diamond Bar shall hear and decide appeals and requests for variances from the requirements of this ordinance. B. The City Council shall hear and decide appeals when it is alleged there is an error in any requirement, decision, or determination made by the Floodplain Administrator in the enforcement or administration of this ordinance. C. In passing upon such applications, the City Council shall consider all technical evaluations, all relevant factors, standards specified in other sections of this ordinance, and: the danger that materials may be swept onto other lands to the injury of others; 2. the danger of life and property due to flooding or erosion damage; 3. the susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to flood damage and the effect of such damage on the individual owner; 4. the importance of the services provided by the proposed facility to the community; 5. the necessity to the facility of a waterfront location, where applicable; 6. the availability of alternative locations for the proposed use which are not subject to flooding or erosion damage; 7. the compatibility of the proposed use with existing and anticipated development; 14 8. the relationship of the proposed use to the comprehensive plan and floodplain management program for that area; 9. the safety of access to the property in time of flood for ordinary and emergency vehicles; 10. the expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise, and sediment transport of the flood waters expected at the site; and, 11. the costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions, including maintenance and repair of public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water system, and streets and bridges. D. Generally, variances may be issued for new construction and substantial improvements to be erected on a lot of one-half acre or less in size contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing structures constructed below the base flood level, providing items 20.C.1. through 20.C.11 have been fully considered. As the lot size increases beyond one-half acre, the technical justification required for issuing the variance increases. E. Upon consideration of the factors of Section 20.0 and the purposes of this ordinance, the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar may attach such conditions to the granting of variances as it deems necessary to further the purposes of this ordinance. F. The Floodplain Administrator shall maintain the records of all appeal actions and report any variances to the Federal Insurance Administration upon request. SECTION 21 CONDMONS FOR VARIANCES A. Variances may be issued for the reconstruction, rehabilitation or restoration of structures listed in the National Register of Historic Places or the State Inventory of Historic Places, without regard to the procedures set forth in the remainder of this section. B. Variances shall not be issued within any designated floodway if any increase in flood levels during the base flood discharge would result. C. Variances shall only be issued upon a determination that the variance is the minimum necessary, considering the flood hazard, to afford relief. D. Variances shall only be issued upon: 1. a showing of good and sufficient cause; 2. a determination that failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional hardship to the applicant; and 15 3. a determination that the grafi increased flood heights, a extraordinary public expense, victimization of the public, c ordinances. ting of a variance will not result in Iditional threats to public safety, create nuisances, cause fraud on or conflict with existing local laws or E. Variances may be issued for new construction and substantial improvements and for other development necessary for the conduct of a functionally dependent use provided that the provisions of Sections 21.A through 21.D are satisfied and that the structure or other development is protected by methods that minimize flood damages during the base flood and create no additional threats to public safety. F. Any applicant to whom a variance is granted shall be given written notice that the structure will be permitted to be built with a lowest floor elevation below the regulatory flood elevation and that the cost of flood insurance will be commensurate with the increased risk resulting from the reduced lowest floor elevation. A copy of the notice shall be recorded by the Floodplain Board in the office of the Los Angeles County Recorder and shall be recorded in a manner so that it appears in the chain of title of the affected parcel of land. 16 Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning ' MEETING DATE CONTINUE TO 320 west Temple Street Loa Angeles, California 90012 11-21-89 Telephone (213) 974-6433 AGENDA (TEM PROJECT No. 89-097 1 ) Ceres TRACT MAP NO. 3197 PUKr_ HEARING DATE 11-21-89 APPLICANT Frank Development Co.
