REGULAR MEETING
CALL TO ORDER: M/Werner called the meeting to order at 6:09 p.m.
in the Council Chambers, W.V.U.S.D., 880 S. Lemon

PLEDGE OF The audience was led in the Pledge of Allegiance
ALLEGIANCE: by Councilman Paul Horcher.
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

OCTOBER 16, 1990 PAGE 2
PUBLIC COMMENTS: Lt. 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"

MINUTES OF MAY 14, 1990
MATTERS FROM THE PUBLIC:
Skip Burton, Contractor for homes in The Country Estates area,
Steve Faulk, Architect, stated that he has submitted plans to the
building department, which have been approved but are now waiting
for Planning Department's approval. He has a construction loan and
is ready to pull permits. He stated that he was told that the
Planning Department could not accept the constructicn because now
the Ci ty of Di amond Bar i s usi ng different cri teri a than the County
of Los Angeles. The home he wishes to construct is similar to
other homes in The Country. To further delay this will be putting
a financial strain on himself because the construction neriod has
already started and there are limitations on the length of time a
develooer has.
.ecretary Tarango stated that there have been 3 -story homes in the
Courtr_> =po-oved by the County but the currert code does not
appr-cve such, a development.
Mr. Eurton stated tha:, the code identifies the Director of Planning
to have the authority to waive this requirement.
Mr. Curley stated that as a policy procedure, Mr. Tarango has made
a decision and now the proper procedure is fcr the applicant to
file an appeal to the Plannina_ Directors decision. The Planninq
Director has made the finding that the proposed development does
not conform to the current code, and thereby can not be approved
by the Planning Department and the applicant is directed to file
a variance in order to aooeal this decision.
The Commission instructed the apol i cant that they could net make
a decision tonight due to the fact that it was not the scheduled
time for the variance to be heard and as a result they have not yet
received information pertaining to this project.
CONSENT CALENDAR:

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.
Chai rman Sc,-!�y Sl:�V-U25 =ed that staff i<.eep i S l ss .;e I n m i
when reviewing proje`:�ts so as to when a prcjis submltteC
w%sere _he feasibi iity is questionabl•=, they might request a
I eas'ibiiity study.
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.

MINUTES OF CITY PLANNING COMMISSION
JUNE 11, 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, 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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mike Akinson, 1313 S. Lemon, stated that he was concerned with

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

temporary real estate signs are allowed a maximum of sixteen

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

MINUTES OF THE PARRS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING OF JUNE 30, 1990
CALL TO ORDER: Chair/Ivan Nyal called the Special Meeting to
order at 9:00 a.m. at Emerald Hills Escrow
located at 1200 South Diamond Bar Blvd., Suite
116, Diamond Bar, California.
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.
June 30, 1990 Page 2
C/Ruzicka had a list of meanings to words such
as "CUP" "JPA". etc.
Assistant City Manager/Terry Belanger spoke
regarding appropriate topics for the Joint
Council Meeting.
C/Ruzicka mentioned that they should have
maybe 4-5 general categories of discussion.
Assistant City Manager/Belanger spoke
regarding the Park Master Plan.
C/Ruzicka spoke regarding his notes of the
first meeting of the public Parks & Recreation
Commission was to be held on November 15,
1989. City Council would like to have a
recommendation on a park to be designated for
a memorial purpose. These were one of the
mandates that the City Council wanted from the
Commission. City Council would like a total
evaluation of parks and other recreation
facilities in Diamond Bar. That's the Master
Plan. The City Council also wanted the
Commission to review the proposed plans for
Pantera and Larkstone Parks. How many lighted
baseball fields and basketball courts we have
in the City, feasibility of commercial
racquetball building at one of the parks,
feasibility for a joint powers agreement for
the 4 acres between Diamond Bar YMCA and
Diamond Bar Little League, Parks and
Recreation Budget be completed by March 1,
1990, look into a State Grant for Heritage
Park, which parks have support groups and
contact them for input which the Commission
has done and we have also
done advertising in City newspapers (i.e.
Windmill and Highlander).
Chair/Nyal spoke regarding how one of our
Diamond Bar teams must play on a field outside
of Diamond Bar.
Chair/Nyal spoke regarding the need for more
baseball fields or more lights for the fields.
C/Ruzicka also spoke regarding the use of the
baseball fields.
June 30, 1990 Page 3
City Manager/Van Nort spoke regarding the
hiring of new staff.
C/Stitt asked which baseball fields are
lighted.
It was stated Heritage was the only lighted
baseball field. Ronald Reagan and Maple Hill
both have lighted tennis courts. Basketball
court at Ronald Reagan Park is lit by a
security light which makes it playable.
Commission discussed the proposed Pantera
Park.
Chair/Nyal stated the notes that C/Ruzicka had
brought in would be a great way to start.
Director of Parks/Daniel mentioned that maybe
the 3rd part of the agenda could be "goals".
Adjournment With no further comments! Chair/Nyal adjourned

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.

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

FROM. 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."

Council Agenda Item

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.

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.

VIA: Robert L. 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.

Attention: Art Cueto
Dear Mr. Cueto:
The City of Diamond Bar is greatful to have the opportunity to
apply for the Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Fund.
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. !
The City of Diamond Bar hopes that the attached application forms
will meet the requirements set forth by LACTC.

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.

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

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.

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.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution No. A RESOLUTION OF THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING INSTALLATION
OF NO PARKING SIGNS ON GRAND AVENUE FROM THE NORTHWESTERLY CITY LIMIT TO

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.

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.
