ROLL CALL: Mayor Werner, Mayor Pro Tem Forbing, Councilmen Papen, Horcher, and Kim. Also present were City Manager Robert L. Van Nort, City Attorney Andrew V. Arczynski, Assistant City Manager Terrence L. Belanger, Planning Director James DeStefano, Interim Planner Irwin Kaplan, City Engineer Ronald Kranzer and City Clerk Lynda Burgess.

Michael Muravez of the Walnut Sheriff Station spoke regarding the fire on October 9, 1990 and indicated that the only problems encountered were with traffic in and around the area. M/Werner requested that the following letter be read into the Minutes: "ECLIPSE INFORMATION SYSTEMS 1859 MORNING CANYON ROAD DIAMOND BAR, CA 91765 (714) 680-2887 FAX #(714) 396-0111 October 3, 1990 Ms. L. Burgess, City Clerk City of Diamond Bar 21600 E. Copley Drive, Suite 100 Diamond Bar, CA 91765 Ms. Burgess: As per our conversation, Eclipse Information Systems and/or Michael Goldenberg has never in the past, nor is presently involved in any financial arrangements or ownership with the computer supplier Re -Mark Computers. Furthermore it has never been my intent to prejudice either the City Administration or the City officials to favor one vendor over another. My company happens to use Re -Mark Computers as one of its many suppliers, some of which are presently doing business with the City of Diamond Bar. In reviewing the videotape of the Council meeting of October 2, 1990, I was shocked to hear the unfounded allegations of Councilperson Horcher and the remarks directed at me. If he has "grave concern" over my wanting to ensure that the City not acquire equipment that they are not qualified or trained to use, then let him ask me directly. Or does he have his own "special interests"? The lack of explanation regarding my involve- ment was also a surprise. In a meeting with the City Manager, Assistant City Manager and the City Clerk, all the information needed for a reply was extended at that time. OCTOBER 16, 1990 PAGE 3 It was also very disappointing to not have the support of three members of the City Council with whom I have had personal conversations regarding the acquisition of additional computer equipment. As you know, I have made a commitment to the City Administration to supply computer systems and computer software on loan until an analysis of the planned Network had been fully explored. I have also been willing to provide assistance and instruction whenever requested. However I find it very difficult to live up to this commitment with Mr. Horcher's vilification of my character and business ethics. If I have not received a personal letter of apology from Councilperson Horcher within 10 days from this date, I feel justified in reviewing my commitment and my intention to live up to it. Yours very truly, Mike Goldenberg" CONSENT CALENDAR: C/Kim moved, seconded by MPT/Forbing to approve the Consent Calendar.

He was not aware of any ordinances covering how the feasibility study should be conducted or how to determine fiscal impacts. There are CEQA guidelines that deal with how the land will be impacted by the growth. Vice Chairman Harmony stated that this issue .J..s brought up by the residents during the review of the hole,. He contacted the county to find out what the 1r stance was pe rtU a i n 1 ng to this issue. The City's responses varied from not requiring them to requiring them on every hotel project. H= felt that this issue should be given attention. 4 DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF MAY 14, 1990 Commissioner Grothe felt that they shoulc be able to give staff some direction or guidelines as to when they would require it and when they would not. This would 'help the applicants so that they don't get involved in the project anc then find out one is required. Chairman Schey asked Vice Chairman Harmony wnen he contacted the different cities did they indicate whether there was an actual ordinance or policy that directed their decision. Vice Chairman stated that the County did for any hotel with less than 100 units. Mr. Weissrian suggested that through the deve cpment of r -he General Plan, this m i ght offer some director as to when a feasibility study would be reau,red.

Height _S tand_ar_d_s_and Limitations. Staff feels that guidelines from the Commission will make determin irg height standards easier. Mr. Searcy stated that the current standards ;s an adoption Of the urrevised version of the Los Angles County standards. Some of the areas ;n Diamond Bar have a topography that make ccn orming to the ex,stin code difficult. For example a eeveioper grants to develop a 'douse a certa r ns i _e to make it prof i ta: i s based on the cost of the land. If they cannot conrOrin to the code, the Director doe:= not, because of that situation, have the power to use his discretion lin making a decision. There is also the problem of usage of basements and cellars. The code states that a residence may be constructed of 2 floors and a cellar. A cellar is the bottom livable area with more than 50% under grade. A. basement is defined as the bottom floor with more than 50% over grade. The county has revised their standards tc delete any reference to stories. Staff feels that maintaining the 2h foot height limit is within reason, without using reference to the floors will allow for greater flexibility in architectural styling. The new County Code deletes any reference to Director's approval for certain types of hardships. It states that if the applicant warts to supersede the ordinance, the applicant must come before the Commission and Council with a variance application. Staff recommends that the City of Diamond Bar amend the existing ordinanc so that it reflects both components of the existing and revised County of Los Angeles Ordinance. 5 DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF MAY 14, 1990 3.

PRESENT: 4 COMMISSIONERS: Grothe, Lin, MacBride, Vice Chairman Harmony, and Chairman Schey ABSENT: 0 COMMISSIONERS: ALSO PRESENT: Bill Curley, City Attorney Ron Kranzer, City Engineer Dennis Tarango, Acting Planning Director Robert Searcy, Assistant Planning Director Dawn Anderson, Planning Technician Larry Weissman, Associate Planner MINUTES: Chairman Schey asked the Commission to consider the Minutes of May 14, 1990. Secretary Tarango stated that staff wishes to hold the review of the minutes over to the next meeting in order to allow staff time to make some additional revisions. Motion was made by Vicej Chairman Harmony and seconded by Commissioner Grothe to continue the minutes to the next meeting. MOTION CARRIED unanimously. MATTERS FROM THE PUBLIC: There were none. CONSENT CALENDAR: 1. City Council Minutes - meetings of May 1st, 15th and 22nd, 1990. DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 11, 1990 2. Future meetings: Joint meeting with the City Council June 12, 1990 at 6:30 p.m. at Walnut Valley Unified School District Board Room, 880 N. Lemon Avenue. Motion was made by Vice Chairman Harmony and seconded by Commissioner MacBride to approve the consent calendar. MOTION CARRIED unanimously. DISCUSSION ITEMS: 1. Hei¢ht Ordinance Revision Draft. The ordinance provides a new definition for the "height of buildings or structures". A uniform height limit of thirty- five feet would be specified in Zones R-1, R-2, R-3, C -H, C- 1, and C-2, without reference to the number of stories and without reference to the Director's Review Procedure. The variance becomes the uniform means of modifying height restrictions in all zones. Chairman Schey stated that he believed that there was an aspect of the new proposed code which would require review of staff under certain circumstances. He asked if this was also being deleted. Secretary Tarango stated that the alternative would be through a variance procedure. Vice Chairman Harmony asked staff what would be the criteria for an appeal of this ordinance and what is the reasoning for the proposed ordinance? Secretary Tarango stated that topography, architectural distinction, and 3 story homes where this type of structure would be in conformance with the surrounding area are same of the reasons for an appeal. I Chairman Schey asked Mr. Curley if there was a criteria for granting variances in the State Planning Code. Mr. Curley stated that there is a list of requirements that have to be satisfied. He also stated that in any consideration of variances, the Commission will want to make detailed findings to support the rationale. 2 DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 11. 1990 Mr. Searcy stated that the reason the present ordinance might not be suitable for the City of Diamond Bar is because Diamond Bar has a unique terrain over the vast majority of the City. The way the ordinance was written for the County it is not adequate to fit the topography that Diamond Bar has and the unique situations that may arise in residential development in particular. They will not be changing the height limitation, only the reference to basement and cellar. This will allow as many floors as one can build within thirty-five feet. Motion was made by Vice Chairman Harmony and seconded by Commissioner Grothe to direct staff to draft a height ordinance for the Planning Commission to review and to establish a public hearing date. MOTION CARRIED unanimously. 2. DBIA Informal SiEn Survey. Secretary Tarango stated that he felt it would be beneficial for the Commission to see input from DBIA and the Chamber of Commerce regarding the sign ordinance. This Ordinance will be one of the items discussed at the Joint meeting of June 12th and it is also scheduled for public hearing on June 25th. Commissioner MacBride stated that the survey conducted by DBIA is interesting in that it uses the questionnaire that was prepared by the Chamber of Commerce for business purposes. These questions were placed in the Windmill and everyone who receives a copy of the Windmill was asked to spend S.25 if they were interested in receiving the questionnaire and return it with their comments. He was pleased with the number of citizens who participated in this survey. He stated that he played a large part infthis survey. He felt that his position now on the Planning Commission may be perceived as prejudice and he wanted to tell the community that he is sensitive to their needs. Due to this fact, he offered his resignation as president of the Diamond Bar Improvement Association to the Board. He feels that he will be able to participate objectively in the discussions, research and the eventual ordinance that will ensue. Chairman Schey felt that it would be appropriate to hold this item over to tomorrow's meeting since it is one of the topics of the meeting. 3 DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 11, 1990 3. Televising of Plannin¢ Commission Meetings. Secretary Tarango stated that a few months ago the Planning Commission decided to hold this over to June llth Commission meeting to allow City Council time to work out any possible contracts with Jones Inter -Cable Company. This is brought to the Commission for further discussion so that they can direct staff as necessary to notify the Council of what their preference is. Vice Chairman Harmony asked Jones Inter -Cable to come before the Commission and discuss this matter with them. Janet Spatz. representing Jones Inter -Cable, stated that they are in the process of working with the Council to provide an opportunity to tape their Council meetings. She will submit a proposal to them tomorrow. She has discussed with the Council members individually how she feels and how they feel. They do not have the ability to do live transmissions. Their only means at this time is cable. These tapes will be immediately erased after they are shown on cable, they do not library tapes. They are prepared to, with Council's permission, tape Planning Commission meetings. She asked the Commission to think about whether they would like every meeting taped. There will be additional lights and microphones that will need to be brought in. btr. Van Nort has suggested that she come before Council on July 3rd. Vice Chairman Harmony felt that the City will be making some important decisions such as building codes, tree ordinances, etc. and he feels that the City needs to be made aware of these. He hoped that ;�he Commission express interest to the Council that they conclude their negotiations with Jones Inter -Cable as soon as possible and that the Commission be included in that decision. Motion was made by Vice Chairman Harmony and seconded by Commissioner MacBride that the Planning Commission direct the chairman of the Commission to prepare a memo or letter to the r`, t.r ("nt�nr i 1 f?vnrPrvina the r nmmi cclnn'r 1ntPLPSt anri r-nnrer.n DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 11, 1990 Commissioner Grothe stated that he felt that this was premature since the Commission does not know what the Council's feelings on the matter are. If Council wishes to have their meetings televised, he would like to watch a few of theirs prior to making a decision. Chairman Schey felt that the motion would give Council information on what the Commission's stand is on this subject, to let them know that there is not any opposition on this matter. Commissioner MacBride felt that this would be an educational tool if wisely used, not to be politicalized. Chairman Schey called for a vote: AYES: 4 NAYES: 0 ABSTAINED: Commissioner Grothe PUBLIC HEARING: 1. Zone Change/Conditional Use Permit 88-555, A Zone Change from A-1-15,000 (Light Agricultural - 15,000 square foot minimum lot size) to C-3- DP -BE (Unlimited Commercial - Development Program - Billboard Exclusion) and Conditional Use Permit to allow a 100 room hotel on 2.3 acres. The site is located at 1035 1/2 Banning Way, Diamond Bar, Ca. This item was held over from the May 14, 1990 Planning Commission meeting to allow the applicant to provide staff with additional information. 5 DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 11, 1990 Mr. Searcy stated that the Commission continued the project at the February 26th meeting asking the applicant to revise the site plan reflecting some of the concerns expressed that evening. The applicant has redesigned the complex to show the entry building as a 2 -story building instead of a 3 -story building. The approximate height of the 2 -story structure will be 19 feet. The back two structures are 3 -stories, which are about 28 feet in height. The size of the meeting room has been reduced to one floor and about 19 feet in height. The reason that the front building was lowered was due to the privacy concerns of the residents that live across from the project. With this 2 -floor revision, the difference in elevation and the block wall, the applicant feels that this would provided more privacy for the residents. There will be one monument sign which will be approximately 6 feet in height with a face of about 66 square feet. A wall sign is proposed to be located in the rear which will be approximately 90 square feet. A directional sign is proposed to be no more than the code will allow. One of the concerns was safety pertaining to the location of the swimming pool. Based upon the interior circulation, the pool was relocated behind the assembly area. The landscape plan was submitted. The plan indicates a hedge of trees to be included for aesthetics and privacy. The applicant seeks to maintain as many of the existing trees on site as possible. There are some trees on site that they will be able to be located on the interior section, but most will have to be removed. The street improvements consisting of widening the street and installing curbs, gutters and sidewalks will require some trees to be removed. The elevations reflect what the site will look like. There is a tower which is approximately 36.5 feet and the sign that is proposed to be located on the tower is visible from all sides. The tower sign is approximately 90 square feet on each side. There were concerns from the Commission pertaining to traffic. There is a re -striping plan which will be explained by the Applicant's Traffic Engineer. This will allow for left hand turns the main access, keep one of the conditions will be that it is addressed off Colima Road. Property across the Street is zoned Unlimited Commercial, office building; to the south R -l; Neighborhood Commercial; north A-1, nursery operating as retail enterprise; and an easement controlled by Cat -trans. R1 DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 11, 1990 Ran Kranzer, City Engineer, has reviewed the traffic impact analysis as submitted by the applicant's engineer. He agrees with the number of trips that will be generated by this proposed proiect. He does have a little bit of a disagreement with the origin and destination of the trips generated. The major issue is that as the project is proposed, it does site on Colima Road and he feels that, even though the applicant has submitted a plan that shows the channelization that would be necessary on Colima Road, it precludes left turns in and out, making Banning Way the major entrance and exit. The plan is a striping plan instead of a raised median plan. Ifr. Kranzer feels that the only way to appropriately address the traffic concerns at that intersection would be to include a raised median. Part of the City Engineer's recommendation, if this project is approved, is to require the applicant to install a raised median. This poses the question that if the main entrance on Colima does not have ingress and egress onto Colima Road as far as the east bound lanes are concerned, it would probably behoove someone to look at this project and reorient it to have its entrance off of Banning Way. Another concern that the City Engineer has is that there will be some impacts on the section of Lemon and Colima which are already experiencing some problems. One of his recommendations is that this particular project, if approved, contribute to the improvement of that traffic signal improvement program. There is also some widening that would have to be done in front of the office complex easterly of Banning Way to accommodate the lane transitions and full improvements on Colima Road and on Banning Way. There is a possibility that there may be some impacts at the intersection of Colima and Brea Canyon Road. V 7 DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 11, 1990 Chairman Schey asked Mr. Kranzer if the participation level that he is recommending in his memo was based on percentage of the estimated improvement or was it an estimate. Mr. Kranzer indicated that it was partly an estimate. The improvements at Colima Road and Lemon would be the addition of left turn phasing for Lemon Avenue. Mr. Kranzer stated that Secretary Tarango asked him about the possibility of an interchange on Lemon Avenue with the 60 Freeway. Approximately 10 years ago it was planned as a full diamond type of interchange and the right-of-way was some what reserved and set back. It was then deemed by Cal -trans to be used only for an on-ramp west bound and an off -ramp east bound because of the proximity with Brea Canyon off - ramp. Approximately 1 1/2 years ago the City of Industry undertook a study and Mr. Kranzer 's firm was somewhat involved. At that time it was proposed by City of Industry to go back to the full diamond type of interchange. It was reviewed, studied thoroughly and decided absolutely not. Secretary Tarango added that he has a copy of the Feasibility Study. In talking with the owner, there was some questions regarding the sensitivity and confidentiality of the market study. As he understands now this study is public record. btr. Searcy summarized what the market study indicated. The study indicated that the occupancy will be at a level of 83 percent after one year of operation. The average daily rate will be $33. The applicant has indicated that they have a contention with the 3rd conclusion of the study which stated that approximately 64 percent of the occupancy will be commercial trucker demand and 36 percent will be tourist/transient demand. The property is affiliated with the Quality International�iReservation Inns and they feel that their target market will be drawn from the City of Industry and also transient/passerby from the 60 Freeway. He stated that he thought that the applicant would also like to suggest that in addition to the conditions that staff has developed that they submitted some conditions that they will not be opposed to that are placed upon hotel projects by Cities such as West Hollywood. 0 DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF ]UNE 11. 1990 Public Hearing was Opened. Gary Shihoma, representing the applicant, stated that they have taken into consideration every suggestion and concern that was raised by the neighbors and homeowners at the last meeting. The applicants have decided to secure the entire building. They will have a 24 hour security guard on the premises. In addition, the only entrance into the motel will be through the front where guests and visitors will monitored. Be added that guests will be given a key so that they can enter from other entrances throughout the complex. The rooms can only be reached by entering the motel complex, they cannot be reached by simply walking up to the door. He indicated that they felt that by having a security guard there, he will not only be watching the motel, he will also be watching the neighborhood. Al of the lighting on the project will be shielded and directed away from Colima and away from the homes. There will be no tall pole signs. There will only be the sighs which Were previously discussed. Mr. Shihoma stated that regardless of what the market study indicated, the applicant has not designed or planned to market this hotel as a truck stop hotel. He stated that the market study was an independent study. The company who did the study stated that based upon the location of Diamond Bar, it would seem to reason that an obvious target audience for a motel in that area would be truckers. The applicant is trying to target the tourist and family audience. Due to this, the owner has decided not to charge any children under 18 who are accompanying their parents to the motel. The applicant indicated that he made an effort to meet with the homeowners. He contact h[rs. ;Martindale several times, but do to conflicting schedules, they could not meet. He stated that if the owner has a hotel for truckers, he must provide parking. The owner of this motel will provide compact and standard parking only, not parking which will provide for truckers. They itare also willing to recommend that the striping around the property be painted red so that trucks cannot park along the streets in front of the complex. They are willing to abide by the City Engineer's recommendations. He stated that he was given the information from his traffic engineer that there has only been one accident on that corner. 0 DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE_ 11. 1990 Huey Liu, Project Traffic Engineer. stated that the motel project will generate less than 2 cars during the peak traffic hour. The motel traffic doesn't coincide with the regular commuter traffic. He made a comparison between the traffic generated by the proposed motel and the traffic generated if the site was to be developed for retail offices. The motel traffic generates about 1,000 cars in a 24 hour period, about 70 of those cars during the peak traffic hour. General offices would generate about 110 cars during the peak traffic hour. Medical offices would generate substantially higher number of cars, approximately 180 cars during the peak traffic hour. Retail shops would generate the most amount of traffic during the peak traffic hour. Mr. Liu obtained a copy of the traffic accident reports for 1989 at the intersection of Colima and Lemon. He obtained this data from the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department. From that data, he has interpreted that only one accident has occurred during that year. Vice Chairman Harmony stated that the project engineer indicated in his report that the project will generate 2 trips per peak hour. Mr. Liu stated that during the a.m. peak hour about 70 trips per hour are generated and the p.m. peak hour about 63 trips per hour are generated. The 2 trips per peak hour are calculated per minute. Vice Chairman Harmony also stated that Mr. Liu's study indicated that 60 percent of the traffic leaving the site will go west on Colima and turn on Fairway to enter onto the Freeway. Vice Chairman Harmony stated that he is assuming that 50 percent of the traffic will exit off of Brea Canyon down the street heading east and 40 percent coming up Brea Canyon. He asked Mr. Liu how he arrived at these numbers instead of most of The traffic turning left out of the complex and going back to the nearest access. Mr. Liu indicated that this report was done about 1 year ago and at that time he believes that some of these percentages he obtained from the Los Angeles County' Road Department. 10 DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 11, 1990 Ruth Ormsby, Director of Development for Quality International Inn California, stated that she wanted to show the Commission some comparisons. The stabilized year occupancy in the report for the proposed motel was 85 percent. The consultant who conducted this study rarely predict that enthusiastically. Typically they will not stabilize a motel at occupancies above 72 percent to 75 percent. This shows that they thought that a hotel of this size would be supported by the demand in this area. To compare nation- wide, the average in the hotel industry is only 64 percent to 65 percent occupancy. The owners of motels can control who the users are of their motel, rates are one of these methods. Although the market indicated rates that were in the mid 30's, the gentleman who did the study indicated that he failed to take into account some of the marketing plans and programs that the owner was going to implement. The owner anticipates rates in the low to mid $40's, which is above the two competitive motels in the area. The Sleep Inns that are currently open cater to the commercial, family and seniors market. Chairman Schey asked Ms. Ormsby, in doing the market analysis, how did the elimination of truckers affect the occupancy. Ms. Ormsby stated that when the trucker market is eliminated the owner will have to supplement with other markets. Chairman Schey asked if they were proposing to fence or wall the perimeter in some manner in order to insure the security of the motel. The applicant indicated that there will be a wall along the entire project. The wall will be 4 feet along Colima and 6 feet along Lemon. Commissioner MacBride stated that lie will not be participating in the review of the project, but he is interested in why there is such an emphasis on the orientation of the project. The applicant stated that when this project was first submitted to the County a year ago, they recommended that the frontage be onto Colima. Chairman Schey stated that what the City Engineer's presentation was eluding to, was that maybe it would be best to orient the main access off of Banning which is intersecting with Colima anyway. Secretary Tarango stated that the Sheriff and Fire Departments also recommended that the access be off of Colima. DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 11, 1990 Mr. Kranzer stated that one of the concerns he had with orienting the project towards Colima Road, even with a raised median, was a perception by the people going easterly on Colima to go to that facility, try to make a U-turn to get to the main entrance even though there would be signs stating no U-turns. He is not suggesting that the main entrance be on Banning Way, but some orientation of the facility so as to make it enticing to go into the Banning Way entrance and then get to the main entrance to the facility. Vice Chairman Harmony had a question regarding the letter from Walnut Valley Water District pertaining to the water capacity for the site. He asked the City Engineer where the mains would be that they would have to extend to. lair. Kranzer suspected that there are mains on Lemon Avenue. The reservoirs are above Lemon in the hills. The fire flow is the largest problem. Their sustained fire flow requirement far exceeds the domestic use that they would have. This would be a condition that they would have to comply with if approval was granted for this project. Vice Chairman Harmony stated that he also had a concern about the neighbors privacy. He wanted to know what the view was from the windows of the rooms on the second and third floors of the motel. The applicant presented the Commission with a sketch of what the line of site was for the project. The applicant stated that people staying on the 2nd and 3rd floors will be able to see straight across but will not be able to see over a fence, into someone's backyard. Vice Chairman Harmony also asked how the buildings will appear along the roof line, whether there will air conditioning units located on top of the buildings? ;his. Ormsby stated that typically in Sleep Inns air conditioning units are not located on top of the buildings. These are centralized air conditioning systems located inside the rooms themselves. Mr. Harmony also asked for pictures of what the inside of the rooms will look like to help them get an idea of the type of clientele this motel will attract. bfs. Ormsby passed a brochure around to each of the Commissioners. 12 DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 11, 1990 Vice Chairman Harmony asked what conclusion had been made regarding the nursery. Secretary Tarango stated that he recalled that there were some questions on the use of the property. By code the nursery is designated as a retail site. The City is under process of reverting the piece of property to a wholesale nursery. Widening of the street will be one of the mitigating conditions. The Cal -trans issue has been discussed thoroughly. Chairman Schey stated that his main concern was whether additional access could be obtained on the east end of the vacant property east of the office building. He was concerned with the viability of a project on a site that is isolated between two developed sites and a freeway. Secretary Tarango stated that this would be limited to what they could provide for that piece of property. Vice Chairman Harmony asked if the City of Industry will be establishing the trucking company down by Circuit -City. He is interested in possible access. btr. hranzer stated that industry has a new Cisco Wholesale Foods which is a large operation. This was a consideration when the they were discussing the truck routes in Diamond Bar. As much as they would have liked to preclude Colima Road as being a truck route, they were precluded from doing this due to the fact that it is the most direct route to the on and off -ramps of the 60 Freeway. This is expected to be a heavy truck route. The City of Diamond Bar has adopted a commercial parking restriction on all city streets for 30 minutes. Colima Road will be posted shortly where the trucks will be prohibited from parking. There will be a tremendous trucking industry in that area. Commissioner Lin asked the applicant if the inclusion of a security guard was a standard requirement for this type of industry? bis. Ormsby stated that this is entirely tip to the owner. This is not typically done as a standard in the industry. Commissioner Lin stated that security was a ',concern of the neighbors and asked how they were going to enforce this issue to guarantee that the security guard is provided. bis. Ormsby stated that if this is a concern of the City then this should be passed on to the developer to be made a requirement or a condition of the development. Those in Favor of the Project. There were none. 13 DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 11, 1990 Those in Oonosition of the Project. Joanne Rogan, 1144 S. Crofter, is opposed to the construction of a hotel in tliat area. She feels that the area is primarily residential and a project such as a hotel does not conform with that area. She felt that the site is too close to two schools. She feels that there are enough hotels in this area. There will be 935 room after the Comfort Inn opens and the Shilo Inn adds 135 room next spring. She has been told by two individuals at hotels that the Ramada Inn in Diamond Bar is not doing well and is not happy with its occupancy. An alternative to its marketing would be to invite truckers. She is concerned with the traffic. ,More accidents occur at the intersection of Lemon and Brea Canyon then appears to be reported by the Sheriff. She wanted to know if there had been a recent traffic study down for the intersection of Lemon and Colima and did that study include the presence of a hotel. Due to the fact that there will not be restaurant located at this site, the occupants will be entering and exiting the site to travel to restaurants. She does not feel that the traffic study conducted by the applicant's traffic enineer reflects the true traffic pattern. She also feels that Colima is being visually polluted. Sunny Martindale, 1333 Rapid View Drive, stated that she is concerned with the clientele of the motel and the possible danger this might present to the neighbors' children due to the fact that the children will have to cross in front of the motel on their way to school. She spoke to the management of the several hotels and although occupancy figures are confidential, she was told that rooms are always available. An Assistant Manager at the Executive Suites led her to believe that their occupancy level is less than 50 percent. There was an article in the Progress Bulletin that pointed out that this area is grossly over -built with hotels and, at the present rate of occui)ancy, it would take several years for demand to catch-up with supply. She feels that with the lower room rates for this motel, it will serve truckers, transients and the like as stated by the applicant's market study and will attract additional 18 wheeler traffic on Colima. She would like to know the impact of low rate motels on the immediate area in which they are located, especially those in or near residential areas. Nancy Stoops, 20505 East Clear Springs Court, stated that her foremost concern is for the safety of the children in that area. She stated that there is an accident happening or almost happening every weekend. Her cul-de-sac is currently used as a turn -around point for cars. They currently have enough traffic in this area without adding to it by approving this development. 14 DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 11, 1990 Susan Green, 1230 S. Mahogany Court, stated that she submitted a petition to the Commission. She walked around the neighborhood for one hour with a petition and not one resident turned her down. Her daughter no longer walks to school due to the fact that her daughter's girlfriend was almost hit by a car while walking to school. The one accident recorded is not an accurate count of traffic accidents. She is also a corporate business person and she does not stay in hotels where the rates are $30 to $40 a night. Corporate business people normally stay $60 to $70 a night hotels. Mrs. Cleavland, 1477 Fairlance Dr., stated that she was involved in a car accident in this area in September, her sister was also in an accident on Walnut and Colima in 1988. She opposes any additional development, especially a hotel, in her neighborhood. Art Fritz, 20635 Larkstone, stated that he travels through this intersection almost daily. He suggested that a StiITRS study be obtained from the Sheriff's Department. He was concerned that even if the Commission did require the applicant to employ a security guard, if at the time the permit is pulled the applicant no longer has the funds to do so. He referred to one of the questions on the Burden of Proof which asked why this project is necessary. He indicated that the applicant stated that this project meets the needs of the area. He does not feel that the applicant has justified this statement by the materials that they have presented this evening. He asked the Commission that if they approve this project, that the zoning be rezoned to Cl. Jose Balero, 1510 Gold Canyon, stated that he is opposed with the project. He is concerned with the growing trucking business that will be in the area of the Cisco Warehouse Foods. He is concerned with the visual affect of the proposed 6 foot wall along the site. He was also concerned with the invitation this motel might give to additional truckers. Jeff Sesler, 20737 Kelfield, stated that he has an expertise in lighting. In looking at the rendering of the site he does not see any lighting position and he was wondering what the site line would be like in terms of glare, light pollution, the maintained foot candle levels and what the minimum and maximum levels would be, as well as, the type of lighting the applicant was planning to use. Mr. Sesler felt that the difference between a motel project and a retail or office project would be familiarity with the roads. Travelers staying at the motel will probably not be familiar with the roads in that area. 15 DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 11, 1990 Mike Akinson, 1313 S. Lemon, stated that he was concerned with traffic. With the new school open, traffic in the morning became very dangerous. He also stated that he works in law enforcement. The current daily expense for government employees is about $120. This breaks down to $86 a day for hotel room and $34 for meals. His experience has been that motels invite additional crime into the neighborhood due to the exclusion they provide. Anne Flesher, 20647 Larkstone, voiced her concern also the traffic. The market study stated that 64 percent of the hotel's occupancy will be truckers and there is certainly the market to support the $33 a night rat -e with the development that is taking place in the City of Industry. Public Hear a•as Closed. Mr. Shihoma stated that the resident's concern that the rate of $33 a night will attract truckers is not the intention of the applicant. He will be building an upper -end motel with high quality materials. He will charge whatever the market bears, if he can charge higher rates, he will. Chairman Schey stated that he is not particularly concerned with the traffic. The traffic problem already exists and will be impacted by any development that is approved for this site. Ile is not convinced that a hotel/motel is the best use for this site. Vice Chairman Harmony agreed with Chairman Schey 's feelings that the project will not be conducive to the surrounding residences. Motion was made by Chairman Schey and seconded by Vice Chairman Harmony to deny Conditional Use Permit and Zone Change 88-555 due to the inappropriateness of the Zone Change and Conditional Use Permit for this site. Secretary Tarango stated that the Commission needed to take three actions on this Project, the Zone Change, Conditional Use Permit and the Negative Declaration. Motion was amended by Chairman Schey to include denial of the Negative Declaration. Secretary Tarango suggested to the Commission that they include in the motion findings to why the project was denied. 16 DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 11, 1990 Motion was amended by Chairman Schey to include denial of the Zone Change based upon the potential incompatibility with the proposed General Plan and the Conditional Use Permit based upon the inappropriateness of the project with the City Code. Mr. Curlev suggested that staff review the minutes of the meeting and with the Commission's consensus prepare a resolution to be brought back to the next meeting for the Commissions review and approval. Vice Chairman Harmony was concerned with what this will do to the public review process. There is a motion on the floor and it will be delayed by a formal resolution to justify the Commission's action. He objected to postponing the decision. MT. Curley stated that the decision made tonight will be the formal decision and the resolution that will be brought back at the next Planning Commission meeting will only be the action in writing including the findings. Vice Chairman Harmony seconded the motion as amended. Chairman Schey called for a vote: AYES: Chairman Schey and Vice Chairman Harmony NAYES: Commissioner Grothe ABSTAINED: Commissioners MacBride and Lin ANNOUNCEMENTS: Vice Chairman Harmony stated that when he reviewed the Economic Feasibility Study every page was marked confidential. He does not want to review any documents, pertaining to development projects, which are not available to ',the public for review. Commissioner MacBride asked if Vice Chairman's standpoint on confidential documents was within his legal realms? Mr. Curley stated that generally any documents submitted as part of the review will become available to the public. Once the applicants have submitted documents as part of their application package they have taken away any confidentiality that the document might have had. 17 DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 11, 1990 ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business to come before the Commission, Motion was made by Commissioner MacBride and seconded by Vice Chairman Harmony and carried unanimously to adjourn the meeting at 10:00 p.m. to the joint meeting of the Planning Commission and City Council scheduled on June 12, 1990 to be held at the Walnut Valley Unified School District Board Room, 880 N. Lemon Avenue, Walnut, California at 6:30 p.m. ATTEST: Dennis A. Tarango Secretary, Planning Commission 18 David Schey Chairman CITY OF DIAMOND BAR MINUTES OF CITY PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 25. 1990 The Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar convened in a regular session at 7:00 p.m, in the Walnut Valley School District Board Meeting Room, 880 South Lemon Street, Walnut, California. PRESENT: 4 COMMISSIONERS: Grothe, Lin, MacBride, and Vice Chairman Harmony ABSENT: 1 COMMISSIONERS: Chairman Schey ALSO PRESENT: Bill Curley, City Attorney Ron Kranzer, City Engineer Jack Istik, Assistant City Engineer Dennis Tarango, Acting Planning Director Robert Searcy, Assistant Planning Director Dawn Anderson, Planning Technician Larry Weissman, Associate Planner MINUTES: Cha i rman Schey asked the Comm i ss i on to cons i der the PSI i nutes of May 14, 1990 and June 11, 1990. Vice Chairman Harmony inquired as to the vote taken for 88-555 on the June 11, 1990 Minutes. He asked if there was another category other than abstention for Commissioner MacBride since he was excluded from the vote. Mr. Curley indicated that abstention was the proper place to list Commissioner MacBride's name. Motion was made by Commissioner MacBride a.nd seconded by Commissioner Lin to approve the minutes, MOTION CARRIED unanimously. MATTERS FROM THE PUBLIC: There were none. DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 25, 1990 CONSENT CALENDAR: 1. City Council Minutes - meeting of June 5, 1990. 2. Draft Environmental Impact Report for Tentative Tract No. 47722 and Conditional Use Permit No. 89338. Secretary Tarango stated that Item No. 2 was on the Consent Calendar in order to make an official record that the Commission received the Draft EIR. It will be on the Agenda for July 9, 1990 as a public hearing item. Motion was made by Commissioner Grothe and seconded by Commissioner MacBride to approve the Consent Calendar. MOTION CARRIED unanimously. DISCUSSION ITEMS: 1. Feasibility Study for Soquel Canyon/Tonner Canyon prepared for the County of San Bernardino and the County of Orange. Secretary Tarango stated that this item was on the agenda as an information item only. This item will be on the July 9th Planning Commission agenda. Staff will then supply the Commission with a copy of the Response to the Draft EIR. Vice Chairman Harmony asked for information on the boundaries as to the lakes. He asked to see an overlay showing these boundaries at the next meeting. Commissioner MacBride stated that he was very interested in the traffic generationi1fram the project and the impact of the traffic on both canyons on other Diamond Bar Arteries. He was also interested in what controls might be necessary to see that the proposed right-of-ways are developed. He asked as to how the Commission might encourage visual discipline and control with regards to signage. Commissioner Grothe stated that he encouraged any road improvements. Vice Chairman Harmony asked if there was a potion of the sphere of influence that might cut into the boy scout area. 2 DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 25, 1990 Mr. Kranzer stated that the report addresses issues that impact City of Diamond Bar. The Sequel Canyon and Tonner Canyon projects are the only projects which can reduce congestion on the City of Diamond Bar streets. This can only be achieved if both canyons are built. The construction of only one of the canyons wi I I further impact the streets of Diamond Bar . Staff stated that they will draft the Commission's comments which will be included in the agenda packet for the July 9th meeting. Vice Chairman Harmony asked if staff received a response to the Draft E 1 R for the C ity of I ndustry's Lemon Avenue Truck i ng Distribution Center. Staff indicated that they will list this item on the next agenda as a discussion item after a scheduled meeting with the City of Industry. PUBLIC HEARING: 1. Variance 90-0054, a request to allow a three (3) story residential structure to be constructed which will exceed the maximum of 2 1/2 stories, and the maximum building height of 35 feet. The project is located at 2108 Rusty Spur Road, between Flint Rock and Rocky View Road. Mr. Searcy stated that the residence will be approximately 4,500 square feet, the site is approximately 1 acre, and the topography of the land averages a 2:1 slope over most of the site. About half of thle site has a building restriction which is the result of a flood restrict ion placed on the site at the time the parcel map or tract map was created. Staff asked to continue the case until the Oak Tree Permit (which was filed subsequent to the Variance application) has been processed. During a site inspection, staff identified approximately five (5 ) oak trees that may be affected by the construct i on on that site. When reviewing the Oak Tree Permit, staff determined that all the information is needed in order to make a decision on this case. Therefore, staff recommends that a continuance be requested of the applicant. Based on the information currently available, staff would have to recommend denial of the project. 3 DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 25, 1990 Skip Burton, Applicant, 1420 North Claremont Boulevard, Suite 207A, Claremont, stated that if there was any way to move the time table and accomplish everything that is needed within the limitations of the law, he would like to do so. Vice Chairman Harmony asked if all of the elements of the Oak Tree Permit have been completed. Mr. Searcy stated that they were not completed at this time. In reviewing the application, there were some additional items that staff requested. Staff had requested additional corrections due to the change in the plan as initially submitted. Staff also requested identification of oak trees which were shown on the application as not being affected. Per law, if the applicant is going to proceed with construction according to the submitted design, these trees will not be able to be saved because there must be a five (5' ) foot radius around the drip line that cannot be affected by the construction. Due to the grading on the site, they will be affected by the construction. Vice Chairman Harmony asked the applicant if he was in favor of continuing the project, otherwise staff is recommending denial of the project. kir. Burton stated that he did not wish the project to be denied and that he would agree with a continuance. Commissioner Grothe asked the applicant about his proposal to exceed the height limit by approximately six (6') feet. Mr. Curley stated that tlhe continuance should include a waiver of any time lines that' may be in effect. Public Hearing was Opened. Steve Falk, Architect, 954 West Foothill Boulevard, Upland, addressed Commissioner Grothe's question regarding the height of the proposed home. He stated that it was the client's decision to have a portion of the house showing from street level. The topography is such that it slopes away from the street quite rapidly. To achieve this look, the applicant wanted to construct a tutor design and this demands higher roof lines or steeper pitches. There are several houses in the Country area that have been constructed in this similar manner. He asked, if it is within the law, if the Commission could approve the variance subject to the Oak Tree Permit. 4 DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 25, 1990 Those in Favor of the Project. There were none. Those in Opposition to the Proiect. There were none. The Public Hearing Was Closed. Commissioner MacBride stated that he read one statement in staff's analysis that indicated that in the immediate vicinity of the proposed project there are no residents that exceed the current requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. In the record submitted by the developer, it is indicated that this development will not be detrimental to the City residents and the home next door is three stories as well as the new home currently under construction across the street. Staff indicated that this contradiction was do to the confusion regarding the difference between a basement and a cellar. The site next door to the proposed development is a 2 -story with a cellar and the house across the street is a 3 -story. Commissioner IAacBr i de asked as to the f I ood restriction placed upon the site. Mr. Searcy stated that the property slopes down into a ravine and the ravine is subject to some type of water flow at certain periods and also may be prone to slides. Jack Istik stated that the flood restriction was placed on the property by a note placed on the final map at time of recordation. No vertical construction will be permitted in this area. N NIr. Kranzer stated that a precise grading pian will be required to accompany this development which will have to be approved. 5 DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 25, 1990 Mr. Searcy stated that trees in excess of three (3") inches in diameter are considered to be trees that should be protected and replaced if they are adversely affected. He believes that there are approximately three (3) to five (5) trees that may be in the three (3") inch and above category. One of those is an eighteen (18) inch diameter tree, located approximately curb side or the southeastern elevation of the property. The applicant, as indicated in the revised Oak Tree Permit, is proposing to attempt to save the tree by providing a block wall between the swimming pool and that tree. Due to the nature of grading that will be required, staff believes that this tree's root system will be impacted by the construction on this site. It is staff's recommendation to save this tree and they will review this issue thoroughly. Vice Chairman Harmony asked if this project has gone before the Architectural Committee. The applicant indicated that the Architectural Committee now requires developers to submit approved plans. They will not review plans that have not been stamped approved. The applicant also stated that he is in favor of saving the eighteen (18") inch diameter tree. His architect used to teach several subjects. He was the gentleman who helped Petr. Burton prepare this report. The report indicates that there is not a problem with locating a wall behind the drip line. He feels that he does not need to submit another report, which would be very costly. Commissioner Lin asked staff if there is a large oak tree in the middle of the property, will the land become unusable for the proposed development. Staff indicated that this would be a determination by the Commission. They could require development to be bui!It around the tree, deny the project altogether, or relocate it. Conditions may be put on the approval stating that the tree has to remain unless the owner comes before the Commission with an Oak Tree permit. Comm i ss i oner L i n stated that she was not opposed to the he i ght of the proposed home due to the topography of the Country and since this house will not obstruct the view of the neighbors. 0 DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 25, 1990 Mr. Curley stated that the motion should include the waiver of any time lines that may be in effect. State Law mandates that within certain time frames discretionary actions have to be acted upon or they are deemed approved. Most jurisdictions, rather than run the risk of automatically approving a project by no action, will choose to deny the application. However, if the applicant waives this time line, then the Commission will not run this risk. Mr. Burton agreed to the waiver of the time lines. Motion was made by Commissioner Grothe and seconded by Commissioner MacBride to contirue the project subject to the Oak Tree Permit, waiving the time lines applied to this project. MOTION CARRIED unanimously. 2. Preliminary Draft Sion Ord irance, per Planning Commission's direction, staff has provided the Commission with copies of surrounding cities' sign ordinances (i.e.t:9ission Viejo, Brea, San Dimas, Torrance, Santa Barbara), also, the Planning staff has provided a preliminary draft ordinance for the Planning Commission's review and comments. The submitted draft ordinance reflects the most conservative components of those ordinances that were analyzed. Staff has notified the DBIA of this meeting and also the Hacienda, Rowland Heights and Diamond Bar Board of Realtors. There is a letter before the Commission regarding the meeting of t,tay 24, 1990 and their recommendations. Staff has also provided the Commission with the existing code and a copy of Ordinance 99.1990 which establishes an interiin zoning moratorium in regardsito any sign larger than six (6') feet and exceeds the current five (5') square foot maximum signage area. Mr. Weissman introduced the proposed sign ordinance. 7 DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 25, 1990 1. Roof Signs. He stated that, for wall signs, the current code uses a formula that exists without a maximum square footage restriction placed upon it. Staff is proposing a 100 foot requirement for wall signs per each use. There is also a formula which a I I ows one ( 1 ) square foot of signage per one (1) lineal foot of frontage. The property would be allowed whichever is more restrictive. There is also a minimum of twenty-five (25) square feet of signage for applicants who might have less than twenty-five (25') feet of frontage as part of this regulation. In the non-commercial zones, four (4 ) square feet of non-commercial signage i s a l l owed and th i s is carried throughout the proposed sign ordinance. This allows flexibility for people putting up non-commercial signage at home. Staff is proposing a one ( 1 ) square foot maximum on building identification signs. Open house signs would fall under the section addressing temporary real estate signs and political signs would fall under the section addressing temporary signs. Commissioner NacBrlde stated that he was very much in favor of the Mission Viejo sign regulations and asked to receive a copy of the entire ordinance. Secretary Tarango stated that 85 to 90 percent of the proposed sign ordinance was taken from Mission Viejo's sign ordinance. Vice Chairman Harmony asked the City Attorney to comment on the foreign language provision. In this particular ordinance it provides for equal lettering to be distributed in english for any foreign characters or foreign languages. Petr. Curley stated thatilthe language of this ordinance closely resembles the language in another ordinance that conclusively lost in federal court. He stated that the City Attorney will work with staff to discuss the limitations that are available if that is the Commission's direction. However, this model, where a given sign area is split into equal halves, violates a significant number of constitutional provisions and rights of association, First Amendment Rights. This has proven to fail in court. Vice Chairman Harmony asked Nir. Vie Issman to explain the planned sign concept. a DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 25, 1990 Mr. Weissman stated that the ordinance leaves room as to how that planned sign program is implemented. There are directions that are mentioned in the proposed ordinance in terms of what the priorities are in approving a planned sign program. There are five (5) criteria that the Community Development Director or Planning Commission, whoever will be approving the sign program, would be looking for. Consistency in terms of color, building materials, illumination, lettering, shape and size are some of these. Staff's opinion is that the sign program gives them flexibility, within reason, to ensure that the City has consistent and compatible signage. The developer.initiates the sign program, not the Planning Commission. If someone wanted to propose a pole sign, the only way they could do so would be to apply for a sign permit and a sign program. 2. Freestanding Signs. The maximum height of freestanding signs in any zone would be six (6') feet. Pole signs are prohibited, monument signs would be the only freestanding sign that would be allowed. Staff is proposing that through an approved planned sign program, an applicant could have a six (6' ) foot high poIe s i gn in the zones which permit this. Th i s height limit is a result of the input from the City Council meetings, Planning Commission meetings and surveys conducted by the DBIA. The proposed ordinance will completely prohibit roof signs. The proposed ordinance prohibits projecting, moving, mechanical, rotating, out door advertising and billboard sians (off -premise advertising signs). Page 3 of the draft ordinance defines what constitutes a billboard. i 2. Window Signs. This includes the use of the window for advertising reasons; the advertisement of something for sale. Staff is proposing prohibition of window areas used for signage except in the case of on -premise real estate signs for sale, lease or rent of the subject property. There are provisions for temporary special sales such as liquidation sales, holiday, etc. If the Commission desires, staff will include in the ordinance allowance for windows to be used on a temporary basis through a permit. Mr. Weissman wanted to point out to the Commission that in any sign ordinance there is provision for special sign permits and this is basically through a variance procedure. A DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 25, 1990 3. Temoorary Real Estate Signs. This section states that temporary real estate signs are allowed a maximum of sixteen (16) square feet of signage and a maximum of four W ) feet in height for all zones. These signs will required the applicant to obtain a temporary sign permit. These signs may remain as long as the home or building is for sale, lease or rent. Once the property or building is sold, the temporary rPa I ast_ata a inn moat ha tAVPn rinxern DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 25, 1990 Public Hearing was opened. Greg Hummel, 1077 Overlook Ridge Road, Diamond Bar stated that he is the Vice President of Candidates Outdoor Drafting Services. They serve most of the City Council members in their election campaigns as well as other Assemblymen, Stated Assemblymen and Congressmen. He has tried to come up with a sign ordinance regarding political signs for the City of Diamond Bar. He handed each of the Commissioners a copy of this ordinance. He previously submitted this ordinance to the City Council members. There are three (3) items in staff's draft sign ordinance that he was opposed to. Two (2) of these have been referred to as being unconstitutional. These are items B and C on Pane No. 24. Item B. states that temporary signs must not be posted prior to 90 days before the e I ect i on and removed 10 days after the e I ect i on. I n h i s draft ordinance he has proposed that there is not a restriction as to when political signs may be posted prior to the election and a 10 day restriction fol lo%vine the election. Courts have determined that the First Amendment Rights are a 365 day a year right and can not be restricted. Item C states that no temporary sign may exceed flour (4') in length, four (4') feet in height or a total square footage of sixteen (16) square feet. Similarly, courts have decided against size limitations on political signs. In his draft ordinance he has proposed a maximum of thirty-two ( 32 ) square feet which is about the largest size that his company produces and is requested by campaign candidates. This is a four (4') foot by eight (8') foot plywood sign. Item D states that no temporary signs may be placed upon the property of another without the written approval of the owner or occupant of said property and the Community Development Director. This is questionably changed under the First Amendment in that this is heavily burdensome to campaigns. Hundreds of sigins are sometimes distributed. In his draft ordinance he proposes that this merely requires the verbal consent of the resident. The Code Enforcement Officer has the right to question the right of any sign to be located in a particular area. He has also allowed signs in the public right - of -way in is draft ordinance. One location that campaign candidates like to use is the crossbars of utility poles. These are located in the public right -of -xray and are horizontally located eight (8') feet to twenty (20) plus feet above the sidewalks. Therefore, they are out of the way of traffic and pedestrians. Signs in these locations do not need nails or tacks to hold them up and as a result there are no portions of the signs left behind after the sign is removed. DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 25, 1990 Jack Newe, 1081 South Grand, Diamond Bar, Century 21 E N, stated that he wanted to comment on residential real estate signs. Page 23 states a height limit of four (4) feet for a sign. He asked the Commission to reconsider this and revise it to allow six (6') feet. This would also be for safety reasons. It would be less dangerous for a child to run into a pole than it would be for them to run into a corner of a sign. A sign four (4') feet high will also be hard to see behind bushes and trees. He stated that the proposed ordinance a I I ows for a sixteen ( 16 ) square foot s i gn. The standard real estate sign on a residential property has a maximum square footage of approximately six (6) square feet. Page 24 states that all signs must be identified by organization, phone and address. Commonly, real estate signs do not include an address. These normally only include the name and telephone number. He asked that the requirement of the inclusion of an address be deleted. He asked that directional signs to open houses be allowed on the days the individual agent is willing to stay on the premise. Page 25 eliminates any use of banners. He asked that at least 2 banners be allowed in addition to the existing for sale sign and directional signs. Mr. Weissman stated that there wouId be one window sign and one additional sign per property allowed for temporary real estate signs. Klark Logan 525 South Grand Avenue, Diamond Bar, stated that the Chamber of Commerce worked quite hard on coming up with suggestions for the sign, ordinance. In looking at the cities which staff has used their sign ordinances to compose the proposed sign ordinance for Diamond Bar, he feels that the beauty of P:iission Viejo is bas i ca i l y hidden from anyone on the freeway. This makes it s i m i lar to Diamond Bar. However, Igoing through Mission Viejo, he could identify the Holiday Inn, gas stations, many freeway available restaurants and they are all easily identified by signs including monument signs, some higher than six (6') feet. Some of those are higher then six (6') feet because of the location of the real estate. Still, the visibility is much higher than six (6') feet. Ninety (90%) percent of Diamond Bar Honda's sales are from residents outside Diamond Bar. It is extremely important that they attract customers outside of Diamond Bar, otherwise they would not exist. He suggested that the Commission consider a separate sign ordinance, with regards to a freeway -oriented business, making a separate application necessary and proof that a business is dependant on freeways. 12 DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 25, 1990 Mr. Logan also felt that the Commission should consider temporary usage of balloons and banners for special events. Many of the small businesses in Diamond Bar have gone out of business trying to rely on Diamond Bar alone. One tenth (1/10) of the residents made us a City, 115 people were quoted as writing letters opposing certain signs, 50 people came here last Tuesday, condemned the Home Occupation Ordinance and temporarily shut that down, and many protect traffic. Many retailers and other businesses can't wait for Grand Avenue to open at both ends. Often, the most vocal is served, not necessarily all of the people. He stated to the Commission that they have the opportunity to serve all the residents. He asked the Commission to try to think of each person's position, the location of the business and what they will need to have their business exist when reviewing projects. Jack WiIIiamson, 259 Gentle Springs Lane, Diamond Bar, Ramada Su i tes. He i s the D i rector on the D i amond Bar Chamber Board of Directors and endorses everything Mark Logan has presented here tonight. The Ramada Inn, being approximately seventy (70') feet below the 60 Freeway, is difficult for travelers from out-of-town to locate. They can not see the existing signs which are in conformance with the current codes. They need to fill, in a years time, 36,250 rooms. The majority of the patrons are from out-of- town. He was in favor of a special ordinance for freeway -oriented businesses. Sylvia Jones, Century 21, 1081 Grand, Diamond Bar, asked that directional signs for open houses be allowed as many signs on street corners as needed. It was stated earlier that only five (5) sians would be allowed. She also felt that it was important to allow for signs six (6') feet high. II Vice Chairman Harmony asked staff if people located on the sidewalks attracting the attention of cars and directing them to a particular location would be considered as a sign. Mr. Searcy stated that on Page 19 of the Ordinance it states that a human or an an i ma 1 used to promote some type of advert i sement for a prem i ses is prohibited. 13 DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 25, 1990 Mark Logan, 525 South Grand Avenue, Diamond Bar, stated that the Diamond Bar Beauty Pageant often holds a car wash at First Interstate Bank. The girls stand on the street corner and carry signs trying to attract people to come in to wash their cars. He felt that this would fall under the section in the ordinance restricting people or animals used as promotional tools. This is a people -oriented community where children hold car washes to raise money. People try to do special things for special organizations which makes the Commission's job only tougher. Mr. Logan felt that what the Commission is after is the big developers who try to use people to consistently attract attention and abuse our area. When the Commission makes these ordinances they need to take into consideration the local residents, realizing that kids having car washes will be violating the ordinance and an official could give them a ticket. 011ie KIoehn, Realtor, 1529 BIenbury Drive, Diamond Bar, encouraged the Commission to seek other opinions on the six (6') foot height limit. He suggested that they might want to revise this requirement to allow for signs seven (7') feet in height. There are two kinds of real estate signs, the for sale sign that is located on the property and the off -site directional sign. He asked that they be addressed separately. He felt that the regulation only allowing one sign per company on a street corner was good, but there are different real estate companies. He hoped that this would be allowed. He stated that there is a limitation requiring temporary signs to be three (3') feet from the sidewalk. He hoped that the temporary directional signs would be allowed to be closer than three (3') feet from the sidevialk. Regulations already state that they can not be placed on private property or on medians and such so thgy will have to be pi aced along the sidewalk, on corners. � Mr. Istik stated that many of these real estate directional signs are about eye level when in a car. He suggested that the placing of signs right on the edge of the sidewalk when at an intersection be prohibited because they could possibly block the visibility of the traffic coming around the corner. The Public Hearing was Closed. klacBr i de expressed h i s apprec i at i on to the res i dents who spoke th i s evening, for the comments and input that they have given the Commission pertaining to this matter. 14 DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 25, 1990 klacBride asked for the definition of roof signs, Page 25 Item E Roof Signs. He asked if a structure floating above a business would be considered a roof sign. Staff indicated that they would consider this to be a kite. MacBride was opposed to large floating structures used as signs. Grothe stated that Diamond Bar did not resemble Mission Viejo in any way. The Cities immediately surrounding Diamond Bar have more similarities to Diamond Bar than Klission Viejo. Diamond Bar does not have the population to support the businesses located in the City. The City has to depend on surrounding cities in order for businesses to thrive. He agreed that special signage regulations are needed for freeway -oriented businesses. He agreed with prohibiting billboards and other signs that protrude from buildings, etc. He felt that four (4') foot high real estate signs would be hard to read and difficult for the resident tc move around. He feels that some of the heights are too restrictive. There are some balloon signs that are attractive. He feels that Diamond Bar needs some recognition, possibly proposing a uniform theme. He would Iike to see a minimum of six (6") inch numbers on all commercial buildings. Commissioner Lin stated the Diamond Bar is basically a highway based community. She is in favor of a separate ordinance for freeway -oriented businesses; a possible highway corridor overlay. She asked since, due to Diamond Bars topography, would a variance be the means of submitting a sign that exceeded the current codes' Secretary Tarango indicated that this would be the correct procedure. Grothe stated that, with aIvariance application including a line of site analysis, he would not be objectionable to approving a higher sign for the Ramada Inn due to its current conditions. Commissioner Lin stated that there is a possibility of a medial center I ocat i ng in Diamond Bar. I f there i s not a prof ess i ona I building built, then they will locate their businesses in the small commercial centers. They normally install signs indicating their business hours. These signs seldom have permits taken out. She felt that the Commission needed to be aware of this possibility. Secretary Tarango stated that there is a section in the ordinance that refers to times and limitations on Page 8 and 9. 15 DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 25, 1995 Grothe asked if this ordinance is adopted, what will happen to existing window signs? Mr. Weissman stated that if the signs were placed legally they would become nonconforming signs. They could not be added to or changed except if they were brought into conformance. Businesses w 1 1 1 be allowed to maintain any signs that are currently up at the time this ordinance becomes effective. Signs that were not permitted will be required to be taken down. Secretary Tarango stated that by the current code, if the window signs are over 25 percent of the window they are not allowed. I'Ar. Searcv stated that the Burder. of Proof i s to prove that the applicant of a sign has approval through the County or the City prior to the adoption of any draft or revision to the ordinance. Vice Chairman Harmony stated that he viouId rather see the sign standards developed City -:vide instead of approving a special ordinance for freeway -oriented businesses. t.1ost of the City has freeway frontage. He agreed that the height of real estate signs should be seven (7') feet in height. He felt that there should be fines if political signs are not cleaned up after the elections. They should also contain names, addresses and telephone numbers on the back of them. He felt that they should be kept out of the center medians. He disagreed with the ordinonce ;jhere it stated that the candidate had to receive written authorization from the property owner before allowing a sign to be placed on their property. He hesitated to regulate garage sale signs except to prohibit them from being placed upon city owned property,/ such as traffic I i a h t poles. He hesitated also to regal ate foreign language signs except to require that they include the street address. He is opposed to large balloons. He felt that under a permitted situation, small balloons would be acceptable. Secretary Tarango suggested that one way of regulating special temporary signs is to place a t,ime limit on them. Commissioner Grothe felt that temporary construction signs should be allowed to have one per street frontage instead of one per site. Secretary Tarango suggested to the Commission that they continue the public hearing or reconvene at a study session. 16 DIAMOND BAR PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 11, 1990 Motion was amended by Chairman Schey to include denial of the Zone Change based upon the potential incompatibility with the proposed General Plan and the Conditional Use Permit based upon the inappropriateness of the project with the City Code. Mr. Curley suggested that staff review the minutes of the meeting and with the Commission's consensus prepare a resolution to be brought back to the next meeting for the Commissions review and approval. Vice Chairman Harmony was concerned with what this will do to the public review process. There is a motion on the floor and it will be delayed by a formal resolution to justify the Commission's action. He objected to postponing the decision. Mr. Curley stated that the decision made tonight will be the formal decision and the resolution that will be brought back at the next Planning Commission meeting will only be the action in writing including the findings. Vice Chairman Harmony seconded the motion as amended. Chairman Schey called for a vote: AYES: Chairman Schey and Vice Chairman Harmony NAYES: Commissioner Grothe ABSTAINED: Commissioners bacBride and Lin ANNOUNCEMENTS Vice Chairman Harmony stated that when he reviewed the Economic Feasibility Study every page was marked confidential. He does not want to review any documents, pertaining to development projects, which are not available to 'Rhe public for review.

ROLL CALL: Chairman Nyal and Commissioners Ruzicka, Stitt and Whelan, VC Nardella was absent. Also present were Parks and Maintenance Director Charles Janiel and Assistant City Manager Terry Belanger. City Council C/Ruzicka took notes on the original swearing Joint Meeting in ceremony and the Commission was given a mandate by the City Council at that time. To open up the presentation to the Council we can tell them at the time of the swearing in we were given a mandate of certain things of which we have done nothing. Chair/Nyal stated what is expected and what type of presentation should the Commission give to the Council. The list that Charles had and the menu of the City Council is a great way to start at least. We have not had to much to work with mainly money. Director of Parks/Janiel stated the Commission should mention to Council that many citizens and groups come to the Commission and although they may not have resolved everything, the Commission has given them a forum to voice their opinions and things they have needed and wanted have been either noticed in many cases or has been resolved. The Commission has brought things to the attention of the Council that has needed funding and they have received the money, Peterson Park improvements that the Commission is planning on doing there, Tiny Tots program. Though everything has not worked out successfully but there are things that the citizens wanted and we have made an attempt. Some of the reasons these things may not be working because of lack of citizen participation or dedication of the citizens. Chair/Nyal asked if we were to pick the number one accomplishment that this Commission has accomplished would be the fact that we have gained respectability and credibility among the community and the citizens. They have come out and expressed a great need of some where and some place to go.

CITY OF DIAMOND BAR AGENDA REPORT -- DATE: October 31, 1990 MEETING DATE: November 6, 1990 TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council VIA: City Manager FROM: Joann M. Saul, Financial Management Assistant SUBJECT: S.C.J.P.I.A. Membership BACKGROUND: Pursuant to the staff report presented to the City Council at the November 21, 1989 council meeting, Council authorized staff to proceed with the filing of an application for membership in the Southern California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (S.C.J.P.I.A). Membership in the S.C.J.P.I.A. allows for the City to obtain general and excess liability insurance, automobile comprehensive, collision and liability insurance, workers' compensation insurance and employee benefits at premiums which are less than those currently paid by the City of Diamond Bar. During the summer of 1990, as part of the normal membership investigation, the S.C.J.P.I.A. had meetings with the City Manager, City Council members and staff in order to study the city and its risk management policies. In early October the S.C.J.P.I.A. executive board approved Diamond Bar's membership contingent on receiving a 75% favorable vote from the general membership. This vote was obtained during the month of October. Upon membership approval, each new city is required to complete some "housekeeping" items. These item include the passage of resolutions regarding the creation of the S.C.J.P.I.A. and participation in the employee benefits program, designation of a voting delegate and alternate, appointment of a Risk Manager, signing of the JPIA agreement and payment of the general liability and excess premium deposits. (Narrative continued on next page if necessary) FISCAL IMPACT: Amount Requested $ Budgeted Amount $ In Account Number: Deficit: $ Revenue Source: Robert L. Van Nort City Manager Andrew V. Arczynsxi City Attorney 'Terrence L. naia,.ya.L Assistant City Manager S.C.J.P.I.A. Page Two DISCUSSION The City is currently insured for general and excess liability with Insurance Company of the West and automobile insurance coverage with Pertrakis Insurance (both through Averbeck Insurance Company). The premium paid for coverage for general liability, excess liability and auto liability insurance for the period April 1990 through April 1991 was approximately $ 94,000. The premium for coverage through the S.C.J.P.I.A. for one years general, excess and auto liability coverage is approximately $80,000. Additionally, the City will consider obtaining automobile insurance coverage (comprehensive and collision) and property damage (for building contents, etc.) insurance coverage once all the necessary information for comparing costs is compiled. The estimated time line for changing coverage in these areas is April 1991 (when our current policy expires). Workers' compensation coverage is another area in which the City is considering changing carriers. Currently the City procures its workers' compensation coverage through the State Compensation Insurance Fund. In switching to coverage with the J.P.I.A. it is expected that the cost for coverage shall decrease from our current premiums. The J.P.I.A.Is workers' compensation is a self-insured fund which allows for a modification factor based on the city's experience. With a good claim history this can result in a lesser premium than is currently being paid by the City. Again, as with the property damage coverage, a decision to definitely change carriers will not be made until all data is gathered and analyzed. The approximate time line for the change, if made, is January 1, 1990 (beginning of a new premium period). The final area of insurance that the City is considering with the S.C.J.P.I.A. is in the field of employee benefits. Currently the City has life and dental insurance through Standard Insurance of Oregon. Health insurance is obtained through PERS (State of California). The city, through the S.C.J.P.I.A., can enroll in a dental plan identical to our current plan for rates at least 35-40% lower than what we are currently paying. Additionally, the employees would have the option of enrolling into a prepaid dental plan (with Safeguard Insurance), an option that they currently do not have. The timeline for the change in dental insurance carriers is January 1, 1990. In securing benefits through the S.C.J.P.I.A. the employees would also have the option of joining a vision plan (with Vision Plan of America), an option currently not open to city employees. Because of the dramatic savings received by changing the dental plans, it is proposed that the City pay not only the employees' portion of the dental but also the employees' portion of the vision coverage. In doing this the City will still show a savings of approximately $195 for the remainder of the current fiscal year and a savings of approximately $1,100 over the next fiscal year (based on 23 insured employees). RECOMMENDATION• 1. Approve Resolution 90 -XX approving execution of the Joint Powers Agreement creating Southern California Joint Powers Insurance Authority, and further approving participation in its joint protection program providing liability coverage through self-insurance, loss pooling and excess insurance and sign accompanying agreement.

Irwin M. Kaplan, Interim City Planner SUBJECT: Appointment of Significant Ecological Area Technical Advisory Committee (SEATAC) Attached are the names of four individuals (and a summary of their credentials), who have consented to serve on the City's Significant Ecological Area Technical Advisory Committee (SEATAC), subject to Council review. Under Sec 22.56.215 of the Municipal Code, such a committee must review and ad- vise the City on the Ecological Aspects of Development proposed within a Sig- nificant Ecological Area (SEA). The City is currently reviewing development proposals for tentative Tract Num- bers 47850, 47851 and 48487, all of which are located in the Tonner Canyon/Chino Hills SEA (Area #15), which was one of the SEAs designated by the County prior to Diamond Bar's Incorporation (description attached). In adopting the County's Code, the City also accepted the designated SEAs and the responsibility to establish a SEATAC to advise the City. The intent of the regulations are: "To provide a process whereby the reconciliation of potential conflict within these areas may equitably occur. It is not the purpose to pre- clude development within these areas but to ensure, to the extent possible, that such development maintains and where possible enhances the remaining biotic re- sources of the significant ecological areas, and the natural topography, re- sources and amenities of the hillside management areas, while allowing for lim- ited controlled development therein."

Arczynski City Manager City Attorney 1 Terrence L. Belanger Assistant City Manager Council Agenda Item Page Two November 6, 1990 Under Section 22.56.215F2 of the Municipal Code, the applicant has an additional burden of proof which must be met prior to the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit in an SEA. (These findings are in addition to those required for pro- jects in hillside management areas, although the hearings may be conducted con- currently.) The proof must be able to demonstrate: (a) That the requested development is designed to be highly compatible with the biotic resources pre- sent, including the setting aside of appropriate and sufficient undisturbed areas, and (b) That the requested development is designed to maintain water bodies, watercourses, and their tributaries in a natural state, and (c) That the requested development is designed so that wildlife movement corridors (migratory paths) are left in an undisturbed and natural state, and (d) That the requested development retains suffi- cient natural vegetative cover and/or open spac- es to buffer critical resource areas from said requested development, and (e) That where necessary, fences or walls are pro- vided to buffer important habitat areas from development, and (f) That roads and utilities serving the proposed development are located and designed so as not to conflict with critical resources, habitat areas or migratory paths. The role of the SEATAC is to advise the Planning Commission and to provide them with the technical information that would assist them in their deliberations. In making its findings, the Planning Commission must determine that the burden of proof has been met by the applicant. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended to approve the SEATAC, as presented herein. \pj s Attachments ATTACHMENT A Attached are the resumes of the following individuals who have indicated a willingness to serve on the City's SEATAC. The indi- viduals selected represent the range of skills needed for an in- depth view of the ecological characteristics of the Tonner Canyon/ Chino Hills SEA. They have been advised that we would be prepared to compensate them at the rate of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per meeting (which, considering their credentials, and the commit- ment of time, is believed to be a token of appreciation, rather than reimbursement). It is anticipated that there will be approx- imately three meetings. 1. Craig Peterson, Professor: Biological/ Environmental Sciences, Mount San Antonio College. Director, MSAC Wildlife Sanctuary 2.

Van Nort, City Manager FROM: Terrence L. Belanger, Assistant City Manager via Tseday Aberra, Administrative Analyst SUBJECT: Bicycle and/or Pedestrian Funds Under SB 821 BACKGROUND: The City of Diamond Bar sees the need to expand and improve the bike trail system within the City. A recent Parks and Recreation survey indicated that the community is in great need for a bike trail. The City Engineer has completed a preliminary study of Brea Canyon Road Bike trail and has proposed to improve the existing bike trail by widening and restriping the trail on Brea Canyon Road. The Brea Canyon Road Bike Trail within the City of Diamond Bar is .6 miles. The first step towards meeting the need of the community is completed as the City applied for a bicycle grant from Los Angeles County Transportation Commission. The City requested $70,000 to complete the proposed project. The City will request that the City of Brea and the Counties of Los Angeles and Orange join in the effort of expanding the bike trail system. Each of the above parties are responsible for part of Brea Canyon Road as it passes through their jurisdictions. It will be requested that the appropriate agencies fullfill their part in improving the existing trail. RECOMMENDATION• It is recommended that the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar approve the application of the Bicycle and/or Pedestrian Funds.

As a newly incorporated City, Diamond Bar is faced with several tasks and assignments to accomplish. One such project the City would like to fulfill for it's residents and neighboring communities is the expansion of a bike trail system. A recent survey has indicated that the need for bike trails ranks among the highest of all recreational programs and facilities. The City would like to meet the needs of the community as revealed by the survey. The City intends to use funds appropriately according to the plans for the proposed project. When the project is completed, Brea Canyon Road Bike Trail will become a safe road for recreational and commuter riders. This road will help to alleviate traffic congestion from the surrounding freeways to a noticeable degree as well. !

To maintain, or cause to be maintained in safe condition, all facilities whose con- struction is wholly or partially funded with the requested allocation mentioned above; 2. To provide regular sweeping of the above- named facility; and 3. To repair and replace all damaged or il- legible signs associated with the above- named facility. CiAty Manager or Date Director of Public Works MSDOC/ tda(8) R-8 APPLICATION FOR REGIONAL DISCRETIONARY FUNDS In order to be considered for funding for bicycle and pedestrian facilities, LACTC has set requirements and criteria for applicants to follow. All new facility construction project proposals will be evaluated based on projected use, commuter bikeway status, regional significance, project readiness, matching funds, ability to improve bicycle safety, and cost effectiveness. The City of Diamond Bar is applying for a bike trail fund and has met the requirements set forth by LACTC. The proposed Brea Canyon Road Bike Trail is intended to connect with the existing bike trails on Diamond Boulevard in the City of Diamond Bar. The bike trails on this road are used daily with an increase in the number of bicycle riders during rush hours and weekends. The increase in the numbers of bike riders is easily attributed to the residences, school, parks, and shopping centers around the area. Besides the 57 and 60 freeways, there are no other main highways and/or roads that connect the Counties of Los Angeles and Orange. The on -street bike trail on Brea Canyon Road stretches between both Counties connecting the two. This road easily allows accessibility to residents of Diamond Bar and others of surrounding communities. The Brea Canyon Road Bike Trail offers an easier access to the surrounding freeways, schools, parks, and shopping centers, and residences. This road stretches for .6 miles within the City of Diamond Bar. It is possible that this road will stretch even further to a 3.7 mile bike trail. However, the 3.1 miles that will complete the entire bike trail system is within the jurisdiction of City of Brea, and Counties of Los Angeles and Orange. The City of Diamond Bar has met with the above parties and discussed its intention. The parties have also showed an interest in the proposed projects and have related that this project is on the Master Plan for subregional connection. The City of Diamond Bar has conducted a preliminary study and is prepared to begin the first phase of the project. This project's purpose and design is so to be consistent with the regional and local plans presently started in the City of Brea and the two Counties. Preliminary study on the feasibility of widening and restriping of Brea Canyon Road for bicycle usage has been conducted by the Diamond Bar City Engineer . The City of Diamond Bar is currently seeking grants from the State of California Resources Agency to successfully complete the proposed project. Page Two Brea Canyon Road Bike Trail The plan of the proposed project is to improve the safety of the bicycle riders as well as motorist who share the road with the bicycle riders on Brea Canyon Road. According to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, the current daily traffic volume on this road has reached 12,506. The average motorist speed on the road is between 50 and 60 miles per hour. The data strongly suggests that an improvement of the existing bike trail is an absolute priority. According to the Planning Department of the City of Diamond Bar, based on a similar past projects, the proposed project is expected to take approximately ninety (90) days for permit and environmental clearance.

Kim - '� ? (" / o Councilmember City of Diamond Bar 21660 E. Copley Drive, Suite 100 Diamond Bar, CA 91765-4177 Dear Councilmember Kim: I am writing to formally rgquest the opportunity to address your city council on behalf of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). Specifically, I would like to outline the responsibilities of the SCAQMD and present an overview of the Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) and what your City can do to support and comply with it. As you are aware, the 1989 AQMP is the most far-reaching, goal -setting plan ever set forth to combat what is widely recognized as the worst air pollution problem in the country. Its success depends upon the implementation actions of all levels of government. One such action is the development and adoption of an air quality element by cities in their general plans. The AQMP provides a menu of actions from which cities and counties can choose to meet these goals using their police powers and land -use authorities. For example, local governments are asked to participate in transportation system management programs by synchronizing traffic signals at congested intersections. They are asked to adopt a resolution providing a policy framework for implementing air quality programs, and to integrate air quality strategies (such as parking management, auto -free zones, and truck re- routing) into city and county comprehensive plans. Local governments have the flexibility to design the details of their implementation programs as long as they are consistent with the defined emission reduction targets in the AQMP. The AQMP provides an aggressive schedule for local government implementation actions and every effort should be made to keep the schedule. The District appreciates the opportunity to appear before your council and looks forward to working with your City on future ordinances and actions. Your City's efforts will make an important contribution towards achieving healthful air quality in our region. Sincerely, 0A J. Paul Vargas Local Government Affairs Representative CLG:JPV:lg cc: City Manager ASSEMBLY BILL 2766 (SHERI I. MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION FEE ASSESSMENT FOR TRANSPORTATION/AIR QUALITY RELATED ACTIVITIES OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND AIR POLLUTION CONTROL DISTRICTS SUMMARY In September of 1990, Governor Deukmejian signed Assembly Bill 2766 into law. This legislation authorizes the imposition of an additional motor vehicle registration fee to fund the implementation of air quality management plans and provisions of the California Clean Air Act. PROVISIONS AND REQUIREMENTS This bill authorizes, effective on January 1, 1991, that an annual vehicle registration fee of $2 may be imposed by a non -attainment air pollution control district or management district, upon the approval of the fee and a corresponding program to reduce vehicular air pollution by the governing board of the district. In districts with non -elected officials on the governing board, the fee and program must be approved by a majority of the board and also by a majority of the elected officials on the board. The registration surcharge would be applied to vehicles in the district which must pay annual registration fees. (Because of other applicable statutes, the Sacramento Air Quality Management District is exempt from this authorization.) This additional registration fee can become effective on April 1 or October 1, as provided in the district board's resolution. On and after April 1, 1992, a district may approve an increase of the fee to up to $4. This bill also requires that the Department of Motor Vehicles collect the fee and, _rte__ -3_-I___.___ __...]_.,.......a__4;__ Fee _-P_ .* ... - 4— C —i rnnnf iiiirinn flip firct -2 - Thirty cents of every dollar shall be deposited by the district in an account to be used to implement or monitor programs to reduce mobile source air pollution. A regional Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee shall develop and adopt work programs that will be funded by the revenue in this account. At least once every two years, any agency receiving fee revenues shall be subject to an audit of each program or project funded. II. ASSEMBLY BILL 2766 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN The implementation of Assembly Bill 2766 currently is a seven -step plan that begins immediately. The steps are detailed as follows: 1. Develop a program (from the AQMP) for the reduction of air pollution from motor vehicles pursuant to, and for related planning, monitoring, enforcement and technical studies necessary for the implementation of, the California Clean Air Act. 2. Take before the members of the South Coast Air Quality Management District Board a recommendation for a resolution to adopt the $2 vehicle registration fee beginning on April 1, 1991, and the corresponding program for the reduction of mobile source air pollution. Board action could be taken at the November Board meeting and/or the January 1991 Board meeting. 3. Upon adoption of the above-described resolution, the District should notify the Department of Motor Vehicles that the SCAQMD Board has adopted a resolution approving the $2 fee and that collection shall begin on April 1, 1991. Monies will be sent to the SCAQMD on a monthly basis. 4. Notify cities and counties that they are eligible for a portion of the revenues collected under SB 2766 and the details of this bill. Make cities and counties aware that the revenues will be distributed to them only after they have adopted an ordinance that expresses their support of the vehicle registration fee, their knowledge that the revenues may be spent only on reducing mobile source air pollution, and their establishing of an air quality improvement fund into which the revenues will be deposited. A draft ordinance could be presented to each city or county to assist them in this process. 5. Establish the regional Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee. It is recommended that this be done through the Interagency AQMP Implementation Committee. 6. Prepare an accurate list of populations for each city or county for the distribution of the revenues. 7. Develop a distribution program for the SCAQMD. III.

KRANZER, CITY ENGINEER A�, NO PARKING RESTRICTIONS FOR GRAND AVENUE - CITY LIMIT TO Cfl-Y LIMIT In reviewing the entire length of Grand Avenue within the City limits there appears to be only a small area that is presently being utilized for on -street parking, and that is the south side between Montefino and Grand - a couple of spaces just north of the Fire Station, a couple of places next to the Library and three places east of the Library. Without parking restrictions in these areas a third eastbound through lane cannot be achieved. Also the places east of the Library are in conflict with proposed striping to effect the second eastbound left -turn pocket at Grand Avenue. While much of the area along the Grand Avenue corridor would not necessarily require any signing due to the fact that there is no need to park in this area it is felt that the entire corridor be restricted and then, and if, restriction is necessary the signs can be put into place without repeated specific action by the City.

CITY OF DIAMOND BAR AGENDA REPORT DATE: November 2, 1990 MEETING DATE: November 6, 1990 TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council VIA: City Manager FROM: Terrence L. Belanger, Assistant City Manager Kellee A. Fritzal, Administrative Analyst SUBJECT: Park "Drop -In" Program BACKGROUND: Walnut Valley Recreation provides the residents of Diamond Bar with a park drop-in program. The program is designed to be "supervised" activities for children and runs 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. during the school year and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. during summer and vacation days. This year the program is held at Heritage, Maple Hill, Ronald Reagan and Sycamore Parks. DISCUSSION• The park drop-in program has experienced a very low attendance rate for the last three months, the average daily rate has been 7 children. The goal was to provide park supervision. The program is not structurally supervised since the children can come and go. To participate in the park program children must walk to the parks from school, with the Sycamore Park location along a busy street which creates a unsafe condition. In September the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Walnut Recreation Advisory Board changed the Ronald Reagan Park Program to a Saturday only program. There has been no significant increase in the attendance. Heritage, Maple Hill and Sycamore continued on a Monday through Friday program.

Arczynski Terrence L. Belan r City Manager City Attorney Assistant City Manager Walnut Valley Unified School District notified Diamond Bar and Walnut that they will no longer be providing recreation services, effective July 1, 1991. Due to uncertain job future, several park staff members have resigned. The City of Diamond Bar allocated $46,085 to fund the Drop -In Program. As of September 30th the cost of the program has been $14,719. Staff estimates that ending the program as of December 1, 1990 should save the City approximately $26,000. These funds can be used to cover the cost of park monitoring/scheduling, park improvements or the proposed recreational services. For the City to guarantee that the funds be returned and not used elsewhere, an addendum to the Joint Powers Agreement must be written and passed by both Cities and the School Board. At the November 1, 1990, Recreation Advisory Board voted (4-0) to terminate the Diamond Bar Park Drop -In Program as of December 1, 1990. This decision is contigent upon the City Council adopting the Parks and Recreation Commission recommendation to terminate the Park Drop -In Program in the City of Diamond Bar. RECOMMENDATION: Terminate the Park Drop -In Program as of December 1, 1990 and authorize the City Attorney to draft an addendum to the JPA.
