MEETING DATE: October 29, 1991
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Robert L. Van Nort, City Manager
SUBJECT: Surety Bond Exoneration
ISSUE STATEMENT
This report requests the exoneration of surety bonds for works on 800 South
Grand Avenue, Diamond Bar.
It is recommended that the City Council approve the exoneration of the
grading bond posted with Los Angeles County for said location and instruct
the City Clerk to notify the Los Angeles County of the City Council's action.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
This item has no financial impact on the City's budget.
BACKGROUND
The owner of 800 South Grand Avenue filed a grading bond with the County of
Los Angeles prior to the City's incorporation. While in process of applying
for a grading permit, the owner posted additional grading bond with the City
of Diamond Bar.
DISCUSSION
Currently, the owner of 800 South Grand Avenue has a grading bond with Los
Angeles County as well as the City of Diamond Bar. Since it is not necessary
to post bond with the County for work at said location, the bond which is
posted with the County needs to be exonerated. The grading bond which is
posted with the City meets all necessary requirements.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
AGENDA NO.
MEETING DATE: October 29, 1991
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBJECT: Cooperative Agreement for Preparation of the Tres
Hermanos Specific Plan.
ISSUE STATEMENT: The City of Industry Urban Development Agency and the
City of Diamond Bar desire to develop a Conceptual
Specific Plan for the 800 acre Tres Hermanos Ranch
property. In order to coordinate the necessary studies
associated with such a project, and to minimize cost and
expense to the public, a cooperative agreement between
the two agencies is proposed in order to develop the
plan. The purpose of this report is to review an updated
Cooperative Agreement.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the
Mayor and City Manager to execute the updated agreement
on behalf of the City and authorize the expenditure of an
additional $25,000, thereby bring the City of Diamond
Bar's participation to $75,000, or 50% of the project
cost, to prepare the Conceptual Tres Hermanos Specific
Plan.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
BACKGROUND: In a previous correspondence to the Council dated
September 3, 1991, the City's portion of the estimated
consultant fee for preparation of the Plan was $50,000.
Since that time the City of Industry has relayed its
concerns regarding Industry's contribution toward this
project. The cooperative agreement now anticipates that
each city equally share in the cost associated with the
preparation of the Plan. The cost of the conceptual
plan has been lowered to $150,000. Therefore, Diamond
Bar's portion of the estimated consultant fee is $75,000.
On September 3 of this year, the City Council authorized
the first phase of a Tres Hermanos Specific Plan. The
staff was directed to prepare a cooperative agreement
with Industry incorporating study costs, consultant team,
and scope of services. The City's portion of the
estimated consultant's fee was $50,000. The balance of
the participation was to be paid for by the City of
Industry. The City of Industry raised concerns regarding
the costs of the study and their participation.
DISCUSSION: On September 3, 1991, the City Council Authorized the
expenditure of $50,000 for the purpose of the preparation
of a Conceptual Plan for the 800 acre portion of the Tres
Hermanos Ranch located in Northeast Diamond Bar.
The immediate DurDnSp of thn otudy i* L- a-1'1..- uite
general character types and intensities of uses which
should be considered for Tres Hermanos Ranch, which would
then be incorporated into the City's General Plan.
The study is to be conducted in conjunction with the City
of Industry, which owns the property, and would lead to
the eventual preparation of a specific plan, which would
identify such characteristics as specific uses which
would be developed in the area, the development standards
to be used, the phasing program and the methods of
financing development and the supporting infrastructure.
When the program was submitted to the City Council on
September 3, it was anticipated that the majority of the
costs of the study would be borne by the City of
Industry. Since that time, however, the City of Industry
has requested that there be an equal sharing of costs as
a precondition of their participation.
In an effort to reduce costs, the consultant has reduced
the total contract amount by $10,000, while maintaining
substan-tially the same scope of work submitted to the
Council on September 3. In all other respects, the
proposal and the multi -disciplinary consultant team
remain the same.
The cost of the study is now $150,000, $75,000 of which
were authorized by the City of Industry at the October
22, 1991, meeting of the Industry Urban Development
Agency.
The Diamond Bar City Council is respectfully requested to
authorize an additional $25,000, which would bring
Diamond Bar's participation to $75,000, or 50% of the
cost of the study.
Attached is a copy of the September 3 Agenda Report and
a copy executed by the City of Industry, of the
"Cooperative Agreement for the Preparation of Tres
Hermanos Area Specific Plan" between the City of Diamond
Bar and the Industry Urban Development Agency.
Upon authorization of the additional $25,000, the City of
Diamond Bar will enter into a contract with the
consultant team and would supervise the preparation of
the plan on behalf of both cities.

The City of Diamond Bar is in the process of developing its first General
Plan. The City of Industry, through its Redevelopment Agency, owns 800
vacant acres south of the Pomona Freeway and west of Chino Hills Parkway.
The purpose of this report is to develop a concept land use plan for future
development of the property.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the Mayor and City Manager
to execute an agreement on behalf of the City in an amount not to exceed
$50,000 to prepare the Tres Hermanos Specific Plan.
It is estimated that Phase I of the Tres Hermanos Specific Plan will cost
approximately $171,400. Phase II of the Specific Plan is estimated to cost
between $175,000 and $250,000. The City's portion of the estimated
consultant's fee is $50,000. The balance of the participation will be paid
for by the City of Industry's Redevelopment Agency.
BACKGROUND:
The Tres Hermanos Ranch consists of approximately 2600 acres, of which 800
acres are located in the City of Diamond Bar. The area is on the edge of the
City of Diamond Bar, Phillips Ranch portion of the City of Pomona, and the
fast growing community of Chino Hills. The Draft Land Use Element of the
City's General Plan identifies this area as a candidate for a Specific Plan
in order to analyze and effectively plan the future development of the ranch.
The Pomona Unified School District has indicated their desire to place a new
high school within North Diamond Bar. The development of the City's first
General Plan combined with the desire by the City to support the siting and
development of a new high school in North Diamond Bar, and the City of
Industry's desire to develop a reservoir, create an opportunity to prepare a
conceptual land use plan and the creation of a detailed Specific Plan
incorporating a variety of land uses.
A Specific Plan is an implementation tool of the General Plan for designated
areas within a community. A Specific Plan provides and contains locations
and standards for various land use densities, street systems and public
facilities in greater detail than a General Plan.
DISCUSSION:
A team of consultants met with representatives of the City of Industry, the
City of Diamond Bar and the Pomona Unified School District on August 27,
1991, to scope a study for the 800 acre Tres Hermanos Ranch located in the
City of Diamond Bar. The purpose of the initial phase is to prepare a
concept plan within four months which will contain the basic elements of land
use and design and which will accommodate sites for a high school and a
reservoir. During the four month period, the consultants will provide
opportunities for input into the process and will product several alternative
plans for consideration and comment before selecting a preferred alternative.
The result of this first phase will then be presented for adoption as part of
Diamond Bar's General Plan and will form the basis for a specific plan and an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR), which will constitute the second phase of
the effort.
The program represents a unique opportunity to all parties, in that the Tres
Hermanos area is a strategically located parcel of substantial size along a
freeway interchange, which is owned by the City of Industry and who have
indicated an interest in taking a long view with respect to development of
the property. Unlike a more typical development, therefore, there is an
opportunity to create a plan which reflects a long range vision, rather than
a short term market opportunity.
To accomplish this, a team of specialized talent was assembled, each bringing
a particular expertise to the process. Jay Regan of the firm of Kotin, Regan
and Mouchly (KRM) will provide the real estate and market framework and will
be responsible for coordinating the initial concept planning stage of the
study. Most heavily involved in the formulation of the concept plan will be
Jim Goodell of James Goodell and Associates and Peter Kamnitzer, architect,
planner and Professor Emeritus at UCLA, who will be responsible for preparing
the "vision" and the design alternatives. They will be supported by Lew
Garber of DMJM, architects and engineers, who will review and evaluate the
various concepts to determine if there are likely to be any major impediments
to engineering feasibility. At the same time, DKS Associates (who are the
City's consultants for the Circulation Element of the General Plan and who
have been retained by the School District to study traffic implications of
alternative high school sites), will assess the on-site and off-site traffic
implications of the various alternatives. Providing much of the
environmental data needs for the first phase will be the planning consulting
firm of Envicom.
For the second phase, the effort will be coordinated by Woody Tescher of
Envicom, who will have primary responsibility for the preparation of the
Specific Plan and EIR. The costs and timetable for the second phase are
shown within ranges, as the specific work program would be dictated to some
extent by the results of the first phase. Although approval is requested for
both Phase I and II at this time, Phase II would not be initiated until a
specific program, cost schedule and timetable is submitted at the conclusion
of Phase I.
The total cost of the study is expected to be between $346,400 and $421,400,
with Phase I at $171,400.
Although the responsibility for the conduct of the study will be shared
equally by both cities, the City of Diamond Bar will accept responsibility
for contract administration. (Since the City of Industry, as the property
owner will eventually be the applicant for any proposed development in the
area, it would be appropriate for the City of Diamond Bar to assume
responsibility for contract administration, particularly with respect to the
preparation of the Specific Plan and the EIR.)
Accordingly, it is requested that $50,000 be authorized for the conduct of
the study, that staff be directed to prepare a cooperative agreement (draft
attached) with the City of Industry for the conduct of the study and sharing
of costs, and that the consultant team be authorized to proceed in accordance
with the attached scope of services.

RE: PROPOSAL FOR CONCEPT PLANNING OF TRES HERMANOS PROPERTY
Gentlemen:
It is with great pleasure that Kotin, Regan & Mouchly, Inc. (KRM) in association with James
Goodell, Peter Kamnitzer, DMJM and Envicom respond to your request for a proposal
concerning the concept plan, specific plan and environmental impact report (EIR) preparation
of the Tres Hermanos property. Tres Hermanos is a large undeveloped parcel of land at the
eastern end of your City. Although the total parcel is more than 2,300 acres, approximately
800 acres are within the City of Diamond Bar and are the focus of this proposal.
OBJECTIVES OF THE CONSULTING EFFORT
Phase I - Concept Planning
The broad objective of this consulting effort is to synthesize the potential of the property and
the requirements of the affected constituencies and participants into innovative land use
concepts that would simultaneously generate significant long-term revenue to the landowner
and improve both the net revenues and the quality of life for the City of Diamond Bar.
Associated with this ambitious integrated statement are a series of specific objectives:
1. Organize the available information.
2. Ascertain the priorities and requirements of the affected constituencies,
particularly the cities of Diamond Bar and Industry, since the latter is the owner
of the property.
3. Create a wide-ranging and imaginative vision of the prospective use of the
property considering the inclusion of a major high school site for the Pomona
School District,

4. Identify the benefits of one or more conceptual plan scenarios to the affected
constituencies.
S. Provide recommendations for general guidelines to be incorporated in the
general plan with respect to this property, acknowledging that any further
definition would clearly require its own specific plan.
6. Identify the prerequisites and resources required for detailed master planning of
the site should the corcepts proposed be adopted.
To a large extent, the Phase I study, as comprehensive and imaginative as we hope it will be,
is still just a "pian to plan." Detailed planning or even schematic planning of a site this large
is an effort requiring months, if not years, of planning. A-budga for such -an- ertaking could
eas.ay-reach. Sl -million -or -more. The objective of the study Is to highlight the site's potential
for the City of Diamond Bar and the site's owner with sufficient definition to provide general
plan guidelines, facilitate school negotiations, and identify prerequisites for further specific
planning and an entitlements plan.
Phase 11 - Specific Plan and EIR
The Phase ll assignment will involve refinement of the conceptual plan and formulation of a
Specific Plan, as authorized by California State Planning Law, which is anticipated to include
various components including a land use plan, circulation plan, infrastructure/utilities plan,
grading feasibility and design standards, urban design, public facilities, development and design
standards, and implementation.
This work program also will include preparation of an EIR in accordance with CEQA
requirements.
CONSULTING TEAM
The financial and economic analysis element of Phase I as well as overall Phase I study
administration will be provided by KRM. The Phase 11 study administration will be provided
by Envicom. The consulting team members will provide the following specific services:

SCOPE OF EFFORT
The proposed consulting effort is presented in two phases:
Phase I - Conceptual planning, financial analysis and market research
Phase 11 - Specific Plan and EIR preparation
The scope of Phase I is to develop a concept plan. Where it differs from traditional concept
planning is in its explicit incorporation of financial analysis for both the City and the owner.
It also differs in that a specialized pre-deveiopment consultant is being invited into the process
to coordinate the large number of potentially conflicting jurisdictions, constituencies and
priorities. The process by which this property would be developed is complex. No concept

Preposai for Concept Planning of Tres Hermanos Property August 29, '9y
plan, no matter how imaginative, can succeed if it is not tempered with the knowledge of the
process through which any development must proceed.
While the results of this analysis may become part of the public process of general plan
adoption, that public process is explicitly outside the scope of Phase 1. The participants all
agree that the uncertainty associated with public presentations and review would prevent us
from putting forth a fixed-price budget. Accordingly, while we intend to have extensive
interaction with staff and individual one-on-one interaction, as appropriate, with other
constituencies, e.g. the owner, the school district, etc., Phase I is not a proposal to write,
present or adopt an element in the general plan. Creation of a specific plan of the project for
public review is the explicit objective of Phase 11.
Nothing in the foregoing, however, should restrict the staff from publicly presenting or
discussing Phase I results to the extent that they approve and endorse them.
Also critical to the scope of this project is that the consulting team feels that this is a unitary
effort that cannot be neatly broken down into phases. Therefore, we would anticipate that
none of our results be published in any form until the entire process has been completed.
The Phase 11 scope of work is presented in this proposal only in general outline form at this
time. The precise scope of work for Phase it will be refined at the conclusion of Phase I to
reflect the findings of the Phase I study.
PHASE is Concept Planning
At this time, concept planning, which is the overall Phase I effort, will consist of eight
sequential tasks:
1. Initial debriefing and data assembly
2. Overall constraints and priority constraint analysis
3. Preliminary/conceptual engineering
4. Constituency identification and establishment of priorities
5. Explicitly "unfettered" conceptual analysis of property's potential
6. Parallel financial analysis
7. Synthesis, report preparation and presentation
8. Supporting market research documentation
In the following discussion, the general components of each of these tasks are presented
together with a discussion of which team members have primary responsibility.
It should be noted that Tasks 4, 5 and 6 are all concurrent in order to provide a reasonable
near-term delivery date to the client.

KOTIN. RECAN & .VOLCHA inc.
Proposai for Concept Planning of Tres Hermanas Prope.1 August 29, 1991
Task 1 - initial Debriefing and Data Assembly
in the initial debriefing, all major team participants would be debriefed by key personnel from
the two cities. The debriefing would primarily deal with their perception of the property, an
identification of existing information and existing information sources and their recommenda-
tion as to other parties or processes that need to be considered. At this time, the initial
debriefing and data assembly would not extend materially beyond the two cities and whatever
consultants or consulting studies that they have already assembled. The consulting team would
also assemble Independent external data, to the extent needed and readily available, e.g. aerial
photos, better topographical maps, traffic count data, etc., as needed.
In this phase of the work, the primary team member with overall responsibility would be James
Goodell and DMJM, although representatives of all participants would participate. We
tentatively anticipate that in order to meet the overall time deadline in this project this phase
would require approximately two to three weeks.
Task 2 - Preliminary Site Constraints Analysis
This is primarily a topographical, traffic and institutional constraints analysis. it will be the
primary responsibility of James Goodell, together with DMJM supported by Envicom. While
no formal timeline has been set for this, the process will begin immediately after Task 1.
During this task, the consultant will conduct a preliminary evaluation of the physical
environmental characteristics of the site and available infrastructure and services which may
influence the patterns, densities, and/or types of development which may be achieved on the
Tres Hermanos property. These will be determined by field reconnaissance of the site, review
of aerial photographs and extant literature (e.g., the 1470 Tres Hermanos Ranch Plan, EI Rs,
California Department of Fish and Game lists of rare and endangered species, and other), and
interviews with service agency representatives. it is anticipated that the critical environmental
factors to be evaluated will include:
• Topography and slope
• Geology and soils (historic landslides, liquefaction potential, faulting, etc.)
• Significant plant and wildlife habitats
• Flooding
• Streets and highway; vehicular access to the site
• Infrastructure (principal sewer and water trunk lines, storm drainage, and other
elements serving the site)
• Significant visual elements
The major output of this phase of the analysis will be a series of general charts and working
graphics as well as a descriptive narrative indicating the constraints site and dictated by the
physical or legal considerations. A constraints map will be part of final presentation together
5

Propcsa� for Concept Planning of Tres Hermanos Pr:pert} August 29, 1997,
with a suitable appendix and cross-reference material ipeclfying the legs! or physical basis for
limitation and the kind of limitation of development.
Task 3 - Preliminary/Conceptual Engineering
The preliminary engineering tasks to be performed by DMJM will include the following areas:
• Site constraints research and analysis - public facility providers and limitations;
existing utility systems and service implications; city requirements and policies;
review of soils issues.
• Concept grading plan - preliminary grading pian and earthwork estimate for
alternative concept plans.
• Preliminary utility network - preliminary wastewater, water distribution, storm
water plans including identification of potential for reclaimed water system and
implications for development.
• Preliminary cost estimates - basic land development cost estimates for grading,
roadways, basic utility network and offsite construction requirements,
Task 4 - Constituency Identification and Establishment of Priorities
In this task, Goodell and Envicom will interview and debrief, over a period of approximately
six weeks, all the affected )urisdictions. For each of the constituencies or regulatory
jurisdictions, he will assemble basic information as to their requirements to provide meaningful
reality checking and process analysis for the concepts being developed in parallel with Mr.
Kamnitzer in Task 4. KRM will actively participate in the process to the extent that there exists
financial or fiscal implications or prerequisites for various elements, e.g. infrastructure financing.
The output from this effort will be a combination of narrative and chart presentations. A
narrative and/or chart presentation of critical approval processes will be provided not only for
the conventional entitlements but also for any specialized elements of environmental review
and interactions with other critical agencies, e.g. Caltrans, Pomona Unified School District.
Approximate required time, initial documentation and apparent and potential constraints on
development will be identified with each relevant constituency and organization.
Task 5 - Explicitly "Unfettered" Conceptual Analysis of Property's Potential
Upon completion of the initial debriefing, Mr. Kamnitzer will bring to bear his experience and
his ideas as to potential innovative land uses. While his general charter will include
Incorporation of possible education facilities and the generation of both revenue and positive
fiscal impact, he will be explicitly unfettered in his analysis of the property's potential.
C.
KOTIN. RECAti & %101-'LHLY Inc.
Proposal fcr Concept Planning of Tres Harmanos Property Aug: st29, !991
Working with Coodell, he will develop for review by other team members two or more
alternative scenarios at a highly generalized concept level.
VVe understand from discussions with the City of Diamond Bar staff that an important early
decision must be made with respect to a new Pomona High School District school site. Peter
Kamnitzer, working with Mr. Goodell, will ascertain the critical parameters governing the size,
character and location of the school site and work with the District to modify and refine the
possible school sites on the property.
The output of this plan will be a series of very rough conceptual presentations showing
alternative land use configurations, together with minimal narrative support describing
specialized features of the proposed land uses, interactions and the role and character of land
uses in the overall plan. Particular attention will be given in this phasing analysis to discussing
how the planned response to anticipated future changes in either the general pattern of urban
development or other specific considerations will impact this site on a local and regional basis.
The presentation emanating from this analysis will be explicitly in draft form and preliminary
in nature. Only upon its synthesis with the economic, regulatory and other elements in the
analysis will these concept plans be refined.
Task b - Parallel Financial Analysis
For the joint use of the cities, KRM will develop a financial model of development of the
property that will, at a minimum, incorporate the following elements;
The fiscal impact of development
The required Investment and potential returns to the landowner of different
schemes of development at a generalized level
The associated infrastructure financing required for development
It is anticipated that this will be a generalized model dealing with general classes of land use
rather than detailed project components. This model will be explicitly integrated with Task 8
to establish supportableproperty absorption rates, sales prices for both finished product and
land, and appropriate other costs and revenue considerations.
Task 7 - Synthesis, Workshop and Report Preparation
Upon the completion of Tasks 9 through 6, the team will assemble and, with active
participation from staff of both cities, integrate their results into no more than three alternative
scenarios. public workshop will be conducted to present alternative concepts to the public
prior to seleA ctlon of preferred plan alternatives.
The synthesis element in Task 7 will be a central and pivotal feature of the overall consulting
effort. In this analysis, we will draw together the inputs from the market research, the financial
7

simulation, the constraints and priorities anaiysis with the initial visual concept plans. What
should emerge from this is a concept plan at least partially pretested for its political and
financial feasibility with a fairly clear specification of the prerequisites of successful
development. While final engineering and detailed entitlements will still be lacking in this
analysis, there will be an integrated and balanced product.
A preliminary version of this product will be made available to the client. Following a week
or longer client review, the consulting team will require approximately three weeks to prepare
a final report with final graphics.
It is contemplated that the final report will include, at a minimum, a sketch presentation of two
or more alternative development scenarios accompanied by a narrative describing the premises,
approach and character of the proposed plan. In addition to a set of quantitative approxima-
tions of the plan's yield in units or FAR density, there will also be a discussion of projected sale
or land lease revenue to the landowner and fiscal impacts to the City.
The role of the land uses in terms of long-term market forces and their relationship to the
changing character of the community of Diamond Bar and its strategic location will also be
provided.
In addition, there will be, for each of the adopted scenarios and, if needed, for each of the
component land use elements, a narrative and/or chart description of the approval process and
prerequisites for approval that have been identified in the priorities and process analysis.
Limited narrative discussion will be provided indicating the relationship of the proposed plan
or plan element to affected jurisdictions beyond the quantitative and financial elements already
provided above.
The report will conclude with a series of support appendices providing background data as to
processes, baseline property information, etc. Limited cross referencing to the market research
report will also be provided as needed.
Task 8 - Supporting Market Research Documentation
In parallel with Phase 1, KRM, under the direction of James Regan, will undertake a systematic
market research effort that will consider both the overall and specific market support for
development on the Tres Hermanos property. This effort, which will require approximately
six to eight weeks, will provide an overview of market support for non-residential uses in the
City of Diamond Bar with particular focus on those potentials that are suitable to Tres
Hermanos. The need for treating the entire City is to assure that development of Tres
Hermanos would be complementary to other development in the City of Diamond Bar.
The basic elements in the market research will include the following:
An analysis of existing development levels for non-residential uses in the City of
Diamond Bar.

• A parallel and more generalized analysis of non-residential, retail and office
patterns in a surrounding area tentatively to be designated as a competitive
market area.
• Survey of prevailing vacancy, pricing and property characteristics in key non-
residential developments in the competitive market area as well as in the City
of Diamond Bar.
• A parallel analysis of demographic, household and income trends, in particular
to establish levels of support for retail development but also to consider possible
implications for hotel and office development on a population -to -business ratio
basis.
• A special analysis of long-term, macro -economic growth trends as they relate to
the regionally strategic central location of the property.
• A synthesis of the survey and demographic data to establish overall demand for
non.residential uses in the competitive market area of which Diamond Bar is a
part.
• Establishment, selectively by land use type, of the expected capture rates for the
City of Diamond Bar generally and for Tres Hermanos specifically and
conversion into a projected absorption schedule for selected forms of non-resi-
dential development.
In parallel, there will be some discussion and treatment of the anticipated housing growth. The
primary level of this will be to establish general parameters for housing for the purpose of
incorporating on a financial basis the inevitable housing element into any conceptual plan. At
this time, KRM does not foresee the need for in-depth housing market research but rather
merely a characterization of the typical types of housing associated with muld-family rental,
multi -family ownership and single-family detached at two or three different price levels within
the City. This largely descriptive survey will also be an element in the process.
In the general overview of housing, particular attention will be given to innovative ways of
incorporating affordable housing to meet the needs of both the cities of industry and Diamond
Bar.
KRM will undertake this study which may use specific selective subcontractors for particular
expertise on various components. If the cllent requires the identity and scope of these
subcontractors, they will be reviewed before they are retained but overall responsibility for the
integrated results will be that of KRM.

Deliverables
For Phase 1, the general concepts study, KRM has identified five major deliverables that are
listed below:
1. Narrative report
2. Preliminary range financials to owner
3. Preliminary range fiscal impacts to City
4. Order of magnitude land improvement costs (per engineer)
5. Concept drawings
There will be a separate report for Task 8 to establish confidentiality and because it will be
independently useful for a wide range of activities. KRM will write the report and present
under separate cover at or prior to the final project presentation.
PHASE II: Formulation of Specific Plan and Environmental Impact Report
During this phase, the consultant team will formalize the conceptual plan for the Tres
Hermanos Ranch property as a Specific Plan and prepare its accompanying Environmental
Impact Report (FIR), The Specific Plan will be prepared jointly for the cities of Diamond Bar
and Industry in accordance with the substantive and procedural requirements of the State of
California Planning and Zoning law (Government Code) Section 65450 et. seq. The EIR will
be prepared as an independent review of the draft Specific Plan for the City of Diamond Bar
in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act.
Work tasks to be conducted and products to be prepared will elaborate on those completed
during the conceptual planning phase of this work program.
Task 1 - Data Refinement and Documentation
During this task, the consultant team will compile and analyze additional data regarding the
existing conditions of the Tres Hermanos property, to facilitate refinement of the conceptual
land use plan and as input for the FIR. This will include the further investigation and
documentation of the "critical" environmental factors which were determined to influence the
structure of land uses in the first phase and other elements required for compliance with
CEQA. The specific scope and depth of analysis for each environmental resource to be
considered willbedependent on the conclusions regarding the significance of each resource
previously evaluated. For example, should the presence of a significant wildlife or vegetation
habitat be determined to potentially exist during the first phase, the consultant would conduct
field surveys to confirm this potential.

Task 4 - Prepare Environmental Impact Report
An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will be prepared in accordance with the requirements
of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and City of Diamond Bar guidelines. An
Initial Study will be prepared in collaboration with City staff. On completion of the draft EIR,
a "screencheck" will be prepared for City review and comment. The final draft responding to
the City's input will be prepared, published, and distributed. On completion of the public
review period and input by the Planning Commission and City Council, responses to public
comments will be prepared and incorporated into a final EIR. In concert with the EIR, a
Mitigation Monitoring Program will be formulated.
Task 5 - Conduct Public Workshops
During the formulation of the Speciflc Plan, workshops will be conducted to enable the City's
residents, business persons, and other interest parties to provide input to the planning process.
These will be conducted as "hands-on" participatory processes, rather than the traditional
"presentation -response" format. Large-scale base maps, wall graphics, three-dimensional
materials, and other media will be used to facilitate the definition of the public's issues and
visions regarding the use and development of the Tres Hermanos property. The consultant
team will collaborate with City staff in designing a program of outreach and structuring the
workshops to maximize their usefulness in providing input to the planning program. For the
purposes of this proposal, it is assumed that three workshops would be conducted addressing
the following topics:
Issues and visions for the Tres Hermanos property
Review of and modification of the preliminary land use plan and urban design
concepts
Review of the final Specific Plan components

SUBJECT: Preliminary Draft Source Reduction and Recycling Element -
Public Hearing
ISSUE STATEMENT:
The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989, also known as AB 939,
requires the City to prepare, adopt, and implement a Source Reduction and
Recycling Element (SRRE) which identifies how the City will divert, through
a combination of source reduction, recycling, and composting programs, 25% of
solid wastes from landfill disposal by 1995, and 50% or the maximum amount
feasible by the year 2000. Pursuant to this requirement, the City must hold
at least one public hearing to receive public testimony on the programs and
policies addressed within this document.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council open the public hearing to receive
public testimony on the policies and programs contained within the draft
Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE). It is further recommended that
the City Council continue the public hearing to their November 19, 1991,
regularly scheduled meeting to enable the Source Reduction and Recycling
Technical Subcommittee to reconvene to provide for additional analysis and
discussion of this document.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
The known fiscal implications of the Source Reduction and Recycling Element
are discussed within the Funding Component.
BACKGROUND:
The consultants to the Integrated Waste Management Joint Powers Authority
have prepared a preliminary draft of the City's Source Reduction and
Recycling Element and have circulated it for external review pursuant to the
45 -day public review and comment period as stipulated by law. The purpose of
this review period is twofold: (1) To allow the general public, affected
governmental agencies and private industry to comment upon the policies and
programs of the SRRE prior to its adoption; and (2) To identify potential
deficiencies and other areas within the SRRE that require change or
modification prior to the preparation of the final draft SRRE.
In addition to the 45 -day review period, the City is required to publicly
advertise and hold at least one public hearing to receive public testimony on
the preliminary draft SRRE. After successful completion of these
requirements, the City will then submit all comments to the consultant for
inclusion in the final draft of this document.
DISCUSSION:
It should be noted that this document is not only the culmination of a years
worth of research, but more importantly represents an integrated waste
management strategy designed to bring the City in compliance with state law.
Incorporated within this planning document are the final results of the waste
generation study, the City's short and medium term goals and objectives for
each of the action components (i.e., source reduction, recycling, etc.),
identification of existing programs, evaluation of alternatives, and
recommendations on program selection and other relevant information to assist
the City with its waste reduction goals.
The organization of the SRRE document was prepared in accordance with the
regulations implementing AB 939. Pursuant to those regulations, the
consultant examined the various action components of the SRRE and has
identified a total of 59 alternatives for potential implementation. These
alternatives have been evaluated based upon the criteria compiled from the
California Integrated Waste Management Board's Planning Guidelines and are
organized into 18 selected criteria representing three categories: cost
effectiveness; technical effectiveness; and institutional risks and impacts.
Based upon the evaluation methodology utilized by the consultant, a
comprehensive and workable set of programs have been selected for each of the
action components listed below.
SOURCE REDUCTION
The source reduction component is at the nucleus of the state's integrated
waste management hierarchy. This component contains a program and
implementation schedule which demonstrates how the City will minimize the
quantity of waste produced through a combination of rate structure
modifications, economic incentives, technical assistance and promotion, and
regulatory programs. Specifically, the City's source reduction component
identifies 17 potential alternatives that are divided into three (3) groups
based on their effectiveness in reducing waste. This list of grouped
alternatives has been evaluated according to local conditions, the City's
stated goals and objectives, and information obtained through the solid waste
generation study. Based upon this analysis, 11 alternatives were selected
and configured into a source reduction program for the City. These programs
include, but are not limited to: rate structure modification, on-site
composting assistance, waste audits and evaluations, waste reduction planning
for nonresidential generators.
RECYCLING
The City's recycling component includes a total of 23 alternatives that were
considered for final selection. Based on an examination of local conditions,
and the City's existing low waste diversion rate of 9.7%, the consultant has
recommended a total of 18 programs for implementation. These programs are
organized into three categories (i.e., materials collection, materials
processing, and supportive policies) and are considered consistent with the
recycling requirements heretofore adopted by the City Council.
COMPOSTING
The composting component includes a series of selected programs aimed at the
collection and diversion of "green wastes" (i.e., grass, leaves, and
prunings) from residential generators. By collecting these materials, they
2
are removed from landfill disposal and through a controlled biological
decomposition process converted into a useable soil amendment. Of the nine
(9) identified alternatives, six (6) were selected for implementation in the
short-term planning period. They include: self -haul drop-off of yard wastes;
decentralized pre-processing and materials storage; promotion and education;
financial incentives to encourage participation, and regulatory measures and
supportive policies. It is estimated that implementation of these programs
will contribute an additional 8.6% diversion in the short-term and 11.3% over
the medium-term.
PUBLIC EDUCATION AND INFORMATION
The public education and information component functions as the delivery
vehicle of the City's integrated waste management strategy. It involves an
aggressive campaign designed to increase public awareness and participation
in all of the selected programs. Programs selected within this component
include: residential sector promotional campaign (multilingual); school
curricula development (K-12); nonresidential promotional campaign;
representative waste evaluations of selected businesses; and a SRR Element
representative training program for nonresidential generators.
Unlike the other components, public education and information does not
require an estimation of the solid waste diversion expected from a particular
alternative. However, the lack of tangible diversion results should not
minimize the importance of this component. The vigor by which the City
embraces this component will ultimately impact the overall success of the
City's integrated waste management strategy and should determine the City's
ability to achieve a 25% diversion goal by 1995.
SPECIAL WASTE
This component describes the existing and proposed waste handling and
disposal practices for those special wastes identified by the solid waste
generation study. These waste include bulky, difficult to handle items such
as: white goods, tires, construction and demolition debris, asbestos, ash,
and sewage sludge. In order to properly evaluate the viability of the
program alternatives, the consultant selected the following evaluation
criteria: (1) Effectiveness in Reducing Waste Quantity; (2) Absence of
Hazard; (3) Limited Shift in Waste Generation; (4) Implementablity; (5)
Facility Needs; (6) Consistency with Local Policies; (7), Absence of
Institutional Barriers; (8) Cost; and (9) End Uses. As a result of this
analysis, the following programs were selected for implementation:
development of a used tire reuse and recycling program; recycling of
construction and demolition wastes; and a white goods collection program.
FUNDING
In as much as the source reduction component is at the heart of the state's
solid waste hierarchy, the funding component serves as the blood supply of
the SRRE. This component identifies and specifically describes the projected
costs, revenues, and revenue sources required to implement all components of
the City's source reduction and recycling element.
It is estimated that the total private/public sector costs to implement the
various component programs in the short-term planning period could exceed
$739,000. Combined with a projected annualized cost of $549,000 over a three
year period, the total costs associated with implementation of the Source
Reduction and Recycling Element may approach $1.3 million dollars over the
3
short-term planning period Ll— Al L, I- 1....11_j
component is somewhat vague in its discussions on how the City will fund the
multitude of programs being recommended for implementation. While it can be
successfully argued that most of these programs are essential if the City is
to achieve its state mandated diversion goals, it can be equally debated that
many of these programs can and should be offset by the waste hauling
industry.
INTEGRATION
Based upon the solid waste generation analysis, the City diverts only 9.7% of
the total generated wastes. State law mandates that the City attain a 25%
diversion goal by 1995 or face possible administrative penalties of up to
$10,000 per day for each day the City fails to achieve this goal. In view of
this, the consultant has selected a comprehensiveness and aggressive set of
programs, which maximize the use of all source reduction, recycling,
composting, and special waste options, in order to increase the City's
diversion rate to 29.7% in the short-term planning period.
LEGISLATIVE CHANGES
There has been considerable speculation that the state legislature might
amend AB 939 when it reconvenes in January, 1992. In fact, in the last few
days of the 1991 legislative session, several environmental groups
successfully managed to amended AB 2092 which would have provided for a six
month extension to the original AB 939 planning deadline. In its amended
form, the bill would have severely narrowed the types of diversion programs
that the City would be able to count towards achieving its AB 939 goals. As
a result of an intense lobbying effort waged by the League of California
Cities, the Bill's author, Assemblyman Bryon Sher, agreed to make AB 2092 a
two year bill. Although this placed the City in technical violation of the
law by not submitting its SRRE by the July 1, 1991, deadline, it doesn't
appear that the Integrated Waste Management Board will be enforcing the
letter of the law at this time.
Although this has made the legislative outlook somewhat unclear, the Los
Angeles County Board of Supervisors has joined other public officials, staff
members, and representatives of private industry in presenting their concerns
to Assemblyman Sher. They and many others are disturbed with the undue
degree of costly and cumbersome planning requirements within the existing
law. Accordingly, the Board of Supervisors has formally adopted a series of
proposed amendments which would reduce the extensive planning requirements
and shift the responsibility for the development of markets and
implementation of public education programs to the state.
Assemblyman Sher has indicated that he will be discussing the proposed
amendments with other interested parties this fall for possible introduction
next year. There appears to be growing support for some type of legislative
change that would relax the financial impact on cities. Moreover,
Assemblyman Sher has expressed his commitment to make AB 939 more flexible
and workable for local governments.
