CITY MANAGER COMMENTS: CM/Van Nort stated that Council previously retained consultants to prepare a Tres Hermanos Conceptual Plan with an estimated completion date of May, 1992.

CONSENT CALENDAR: CM/Van Nort announced that on April 25, 1992 from Noon to 4:00 p.m., the City would celebrate its 3rd anniversary at Sycamore Canyon Park.

PUBLIC HEARINGS: 7:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as matters can be heard. 10.1 PRELIMINARY DRAFT HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE ELEMENT - Asst. to CM/Butzlaff reported that the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB939) and subsequent Assembly Bill 2707 requires the City to prepare, adopt and implement a separate Household Hazardous Waste Element (HHWE) identifying how the City Will properly reduce, collect, recycle, treat and dispose of all household hazardous wastes generated in the City. MPT/Papen declared the Public Hearing open. With no one offering to speak on the matter, M/Papen closed the Public Hearing. Following discussion, it was moved by C/Miller, seconded by MPT/Papen to forward comments received to the JPA consultant for integration into the final Household Hazardous Waste Element. 10.2 CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING CERTIFICATION OF MASTER ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT 92-1 AND APPROVAL OF VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAPS 47850, 47851 AND 48487 - Due to a potential conflict of interest, M/Kim removed himself from the meeting. C/Miller suggested that since there are a number of concerns regarding Tract 47850, it should be withdrawn from consideration until additional soils tests and other data can be obtained. APRIL 21, 1992 PAGE 6 Cecil Mills reported that Diamond Bar Associates was willing to withdraw its application for Tract 47850 without prejudice to any right they may have to bring it back to the Council at such time as additional studies have been made. Following discussion, C/Miller moved, C/Werner seconded to withdraw Tract No. 47850 from the calendar. Mr. Mills requested postponement of Tract No. 47850 for approximately 3-4 months until approximately September 1st. C/Miller amended his motion to require that the applicant not bring Tract No. 47850 back for Council review before September 1st but no later than October 31st. C/Werner amended his second. Motion carried unanimously (4-0, M/Kim abstaining). Don Brockway, representing Leighton & Assoc., stated that their recommendation would be that both Tracts No. 47851 and 48487 could be approved as vesting tentative tracts. A change in the design of the shear key at the head of a landslide, above lots 18, 19 and 20 on Tract 47851 was suggested. The shear key was moved to prohibit building within an area that could fail if the landslide were to reactivate. This boundary to the restricted use zone is established by projecting a one-to-one slope up from the toe of the shear key as now planned. Since there is no assurance that the shear key could be repaired in the event that the landslide would move, it was recommended that the zone be governed by a projection of a one and one-half to one slope from the toe of the shear key. The results would be about a 20 ft. wider zone to restrict building. In lieu of that, if the developer's consultant can design the shear key in such a manner as to enhance the strength that would ensure safety using a one to one projection, would also be acceptable. In response to MPT/PapenIs inquiry into whether engineer- ing changes would allow for sufficient pads on lot 19 with the same number of lots, CDD/DeStefano stated that information received in the last two days indicated that Lots 18, 19 and 20, which are at the end of a long cul- de-sac, would be in jeopardy and may need to be eliminated and the cul-de-sac shortened. He further stated that a decision could not yet be made and would be necessary to understand the geotechnical consultants' findings and recommendations. He indicated that if the Council chooses to approve 47851, direction could be given to staff to specifically analyse the developable pads and their possibilities at the end of the cul-de-sac or Council could specifically direct staff to eliminate those lots subject to much more detailed analysis presented by the developer at a future date. APRIL 21, 1992 PAGE 7 MPT/Papen opened the Public Hearing. Don Schad, 1824 Shaded Wood Rd., stated that he felt that hydrology factors have not been carefully considered and that pollutants will enter Tonner Canyon and cause permanent ecological damage. He suggested that staff contact Michael Brandon, with the Department of Regional Planning, regarding his ecological findings. William Gross, 21637 Highbluff Rd., stated that this project is inconsistent with the proposed General Plan and that, in his opinion, this project is a "vesting tract map." Wilbur Smith, 21630 Fairwind, stated that he felt that neither the City nor the developer have shown that this project is geotechnically feasible at this stage. C/Miller stated that the bentonite bed is 1/2" thick and 175' below the surface and would not require removal or mixing. No bentonite exists in Tract 47861. He further stated that a "worst case" design has been required for Tract No. 47850. With no further testimony offered, MPT/Papen closed the Public Hearing. Mr. Mills requested that Condition 24 for Tract No. 47851 as well as staff report Exhibit "B" be stricken which deals with the remaining parcel. In regard to vesting of the maps, CDD/DeStefano stated that staff has receipts from the County showing that when all three tracts were submitted, they were vested. In addition, the maps accompanying the applications show vesting. MPT/Papen stated that she is concerned that the Water District and Planning are not moving in the same direction with regard to reclaimed water and that she did not want the condition requiring dual water lines to be stricken. C/Werner requested that disclosure of the presence of bentonite beds be included in one of the mitigation measures to be covered under the EIR and part of the Mitigation Monitoring Program. CDD/DeStefano stated that this information could be provided in a Buyer's Awareness package, a statement in the CC&R's or any other documents that are appropriate for place information such as this. C/Miller stated that Condition 11 on Exhibit Bla for TTM 47851, should be redrafted to read "a detailed landscape, APRIL 21, 1992 PAGE 8 irrigation plan and reclaimed water line plan for future service including slope planning." Condition 10 on Exhibit Bla for TTM 48487 should also be changed. MPT/Papen obtained Council concurrence supporting C/Werner Is suggestion that disclosure of the bentonite beds be included in a buyer awareness package. MPT/Papen further obtained Council concurrence supporting the request of the applicant to remove Condition 24. In regard to lots 18, 19 and 20, C/Miller suggested that staff be directed to prepare a resolution of approval with findings, conditions and mitigation measures for that tract with the possible loss of lots 18, 19 and 20 if the geotechnical concerns associated with the shear key cannot be resolved prior to Council approval. C/Werner asked for a conclusive legal opinion as to whether or not this was a vesting map application. CA/Arczynski stated that the map in the EIR that has been referred to as "the map that doesn't say vesting tentative map on it" also does not include a lot of other information normally found. It appears to be a portion of the tract map that was copied to fit in the book. The documentation in staff's possession indicates that the original documents submitted reflect vesting tentative tract maps on them and therefore, he would consider that the maps are vested. C/Werner asked to see documentation showing that when the application was submitted, it was for vesting tract maps. C/Miller moved, C/Werner seconded to direct staff to prepare a resolution of approval with findings, conditions and mitigation measures for Vesting Tentative Tract No. 47851 with a possible loss of lots 18, 19 and 20 if the geotechnical concerns associated with the shear key cannot be resolved and that the remainder parcel, which is Condition 24, be open space and deeded to the homeowners' association as such.

Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, California. PLEDGE OF The audience was led in the Pledge of Allegiance by ALLEGIANCE: Commissioner Flamenbaum. ROLL CALL: Commissioner Li, Commissioner Flamenbaum, Commissioner Meyer, and Chairman Grothe. vice Chairman MacBride was absent. Also present were Community Director James DeStefano, Associate Planner Robert Searcy, Planning Technician Ann Lungu, City Engineer Sid Mousavi, Deputy City Attorney Bill Curley, and Contract Secretary Liz Myers. MINUTES: Motion was made by C/Flamenbaum, seconded by C/Li, and CARRIED to approve the Minutes of March 23, Mar. 23, 1992 1992. C/Meyer abstained. NEW BUSINESS: C/Flamenbaum suggested that discussion regarding Planning Commission Standards of Operation should PC Standards be held at the end of the meeting. The Commission of Operations concurred. TT Map 51079/ AP/Searcy reported that the application, to convert Amendment to a 54 unit apartment complex to condominiums, Cup 89-551 located at 800 S. Grand Ave., was conditionally approved on the February 24, 1992 public hearing. Staff has, per Commission's direction, prepared the amended Resolutions. It is recommended that the Commission approve Resolution 92-07, and 92-08, approving an Amendment to CUP 89-551 and recommending approval of Tentative Tract 51079 to the City Council. AP/Searcy explained that the changes made to the Resolutions are in bold print. He reviewed those changes made, to the Commission. C/Meyer stated that, because he is not adequately familiar with all the issues of the project, he will not be participating in the vote. C/Flamenbaum stated that item #19, of Resolution 92-07, should reflect that the 8 parking spaces are to be outside of the gate. CE/Mousavi, responding to C/Flamenbaum's inquiry, stated that there should be a minimum of 4 guest parking spaces. Chair/Grothe requested item #19 be amended to insert that there is to be a minimum of 4 parking spaces, outside of the gate, to total 130 parking spaces. The Commission concurred. March 23, 1992 Page 2 C/Flamenbaum suggested that the Resolution be modified to eliminate the traffic light and the current median cut because the traffic light may cause further traffic congestion, and, it is not certain that the driveway of the proposed hospital project will align with the present median cut. CE/Mousavi stated that the developers of the proposed hospital project has indicated that it would not be a problem to align the driveway with the present median cut. CD/DeStefano indicated that the developer may be asked to contribute a fair share of the costs of the signal now, but to not install it until a later date, when it is needed. The developer will then receive a portion of his contribution back when the other projects are developed. CE/Mousavi stated that he believes the statue of limitation, to use money held, is three years. Motion was made by Chair/Grothe, seconded by C/Flamenbaum and CARRIED to approve Resolution 92-7, with the modifications made to item #19. C/Meyer abstained. David Ayala, designer of the proposed building, residing at 140 Yolinda Place, Brea, explained that the reason the requested information was not submitted was because they are in the process of redesigning the project. They are incorporating the following changes: reduce the massiveness in Motion was made by Chair/Grothe, seconded by C/Flamenbaum and CARRIED to approve Resolution 92-8, as presented. C/Meyer abstained. ':ONTINUED AP/Searcy reported that at the conclusion of the PUBLIC HEARING: March 9, 1992 meeting, the Commission requested the applicant to provide staff with additional ^entative Parcel information for review and evaluation related to ,tap 22986/ the visual impacts and the compatibility of the )R 92-1 proposed office building in relation to adjacent developments. The applicant did not provide the information, and requested another continuance to the March 23rd Commission meeting. As of the date of the staff report, the requested information has not been received. Based on the findings and conclusions, set forth in the Resolution, staff recommended that the Commission adopt the attached Resolution 92 -XX, denying DR 92-1, and Resolution 92 -XX recommending that the City Council deny Tentative Parcel Map 22986. David Ayala, designer of the proposed building, residing at 140 Yolinda Place, Brea, explained that the reason the requested information was not submitted was because they are in the process of redesigning the project. They are incorporating the following changes: reduce the massiveness in March 23, 1992 Page 4 Nancy Villalobos, residing at 23910 Decorah Rd., representing the following individuals opposing the project: Eve Terrien, residing at 23976 Minnequa Dr.; Chalyce Rolfness, residing at 23960 Sunset Crossing; Stewart Liddell; Mattie Roberts, residing at 23917 Decorah Rd.; Wanda Bowman, residing at 23968 Sunset Crossing; Donald Reinhart, residing at 23612 Stellgate Dr.; Mae Benson, residing at 24023 Willow Creek Rd.; May Hart Wycorn, residing at 414 N. Del Solla; Don Gravdahl and Dean Gravdahl, residing at 23988 Minnequa, stated the following concerns: Sunset Crossing and Willow Creek are the only access roads into the tract, therefore 90% of the traffic exits or enters through Sunset Crossing; the area is already congested by the LA Fitness Health Club; the increase in traffic will be dangerous to the youth and elderly that are participants to the Racquetball/ Swim Club on the corner across from the proposed building; the building will create a lack of privacy to the residents east of the project; the parking for the workers and customers of the building is insufficient; there's already excessive parking in the alley way; there will be an increase traffic accidents; and speeding. Don Gravdahl, residing at 23988 Minnequa, a member of the Racquetball/Swim Club, stated the following concerns: it is a minimum parking situation; because there is a 6% slope on the hill, left turns in and out of the project may cause traffic problems; it would be a detriment to the Diamond Point community; there is a heavy traffic count in the area now; it will impact parking for those wanting to use the Racquetball/Swim Club facilities; and the applicant has indicated that there will be major revisions made to the exterior of the building, but nothing has been done regarding the parking situation. CE/Mousavi, responding to Chair/Grothe's inquiry of the Traffic and Transportation Commission's (TTC) response upon review of the traffic concerns regarding the project, explained that the TTC reviewed the egress/ingress situation, the site distance issues from the driveway, and how the driveway should be oriented. The TTC approved the design of the driveway, with a right turn only. The parking situation, on site and off site, was not reviewed. Don Gravdahl noted that a customer or an employee may be more apt to park at the tennis courts, as March 23, 1992 Page 3 the rear of the building; break up the remaining massiveness by reducing the elevation, having more roof top in the front of the building, and splitting the office above and below the parking structure; and create a rear ingress into the building. He requested that the matter be continued to the next meeting. DCA/Curley advised that the application should be withdrawn because it appears that the applicant has made substantial changes to the project as originally presented. David Ayala explained that there has not been much revision made to the drawings, except for exterior revisions. The elevation of the project is being changed to reduce massiveness. C/Meyer indicated that he feels he is adequately familiar with the project, and will be participating in the vote. He inquired why the applicant did not supply the information that the Commission had requested. David Ayala explained that they are in the process of finishing a model of the building incorporating the changes made to the proposed project. They do not anticipate any more revisions. CD/Destefano stated that, because it appears like there has been major changes made to the project, and that it is a significantly different package then the one staff has been analyzing in the past, the application should be resubmitted with the new design. DCA/Curley, noting that the applicant is proposing a new auxiliary access, stated that there would need to be an environmental review. Furthermore, since the applicant is changing the basic design of the project, another public hearing should be reinitiated. Fred Janz, residing at 2683 Shady Ridge, explained that the changes being made are in response to the concerns voiced by the Commission that the building is too massive. The building is still 6,000 square feet, but will sit on the lot differently. The model will be more effective in visualizing the building in the surrounding area. The Public Hearing was declared open. March 23, 1992 Page 6 Motion was made by C/Meyer, seconded by C/Flamenbaum and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to adopt a Resolution recommending to the City Council to deny Parcel Map 122986. Chair/Grothe called a recess at 8:39 p.m. The meeting was called back to order at 8:43 p.m. PUBLIC HEARING: CD/DeStefano reported that the City Council approved Tract Map 31977, proposing 22 lots on 16 Tentative Tract acres, in February of 1990. The project is located Map 31977 north of Goldrush Dr. and Highcrest Dr. Staff has a variety of concerns regarding the map. It does not match the current standards of development practices for both planning and engineering. Staff is not aware of any legal obligation to extend a tentative map. It is recommended that the Commission deny the request for the extension of time. CD/DeStefano, in response to Chair/Grothe, explained that the City Council approved the map in February of 1990. This is the first application for an extension of time. CE/Mousavi, responding to C/Meyer's inquiry, stated that there was no action on behalf of the staff which would have delayed recordation of the final map. Because the conditions proposed at the time of approval have not been satisfied at this time, staff cannot recommend recordation of the map to the City Council. AP/Searcy, responding to C/Meyer's inquiry if the Tentative Map could be modified to comply with the Hillside Management Ordinance, stated that the applicant has indicated that he would be amenable to look into if the tract map may be able to be modified to bring it closer to conformance with existing standards and codes. CD/DeStefano stated that staff would need to understand the issues behind not only changing the map, but the previously approved conditions. Also, the issues before the staff are not related to density, but related to the overall lot site design and configuration. C/Meyer suggested that, if the applicant is amenable to redesigning the map, staff can add new conditions as part of the extension process. Andrew King, the applicant, residing at 1595 South MacVerne Ave., Monterey Park, explained that when March 23, 1992 Page 5 opposed to walking through the health club, which would directly impact the neighborhood. Nancy Villalobos stated that the Racquetball/ Swim Club is open 6 days a week from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Parking is now already limited. Roger and Elizabeth Mejia, residing next to the proposed building site, opposing the project, presented pictures of the proposed site in relation to the sloped hill. David Ayala stated that the project is not a minimum parking situation. Furthermore, they are attempting to revise the project to mitigate the parking and traffic concerns stated. 'In response to C/Meyer's inquiry if they would prefer to withdraw the application until the plans are suitable for the Commission's review, he stated that they are requesting a continuance to be able to revise the project, and present it to the Commission at the next meeting. Fred Janz stated that the parking problem was created by LA Fitness. He reminded the Commission that there is a shared parking agreement with LA Fitness that will help alleviate some of the parking congestion. Nancy Villalobos noted that the parking situation occurs all day long. The 19 additional parking spaces will not help the problem. The Public Hearing was declared closed. C/Meyer noted that the applicant is proposing to put the building on a slope easement, which is usually dedicated to the public for maintenance to the roads. He inquired what uses are permitted in the CM zone. AP/Searcy reviewed some of the uses permitted. It is one of the most potentially intense uses, or zoned areas, in the City. CD/DeStefano explained that the property on Diamond Bar Blvd, from Sunset Crossing north to the bowling center are all zoned Commercial Manufacturing. Motion was made by C/Meyer, seconded by C/Li and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to adopt the Resolution to deny Development Review 92-1. March 23, 1992 Page g condition a time extension if we can make a finding that to not do so can place the residence of the subdivision, the immediate community, or both, in a condition of "dangerous to their health, or safety, or both." This aspect has not been investigated. Chair/Grothe indicated that since the Commission has never had the opportunity to be part of developing this tract map, he would be apt to deny the continuance. The Public hearing was declared open. The applicant stated their consent to the continuance. Motion was made by C/Meyer, seconded by C/Flamenbaum and CARRIED to continue the matter to the April 13, 1992 meeting, with concurrence from the applicant. AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Li, Flamenbaum, and Meyer. NOES: COMMISSIONERS: Chair/Grothe. ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: MacBride. Planning CommissionCD/DeStefano presented the Draft Planning Standards of Commission Handbook to the Commission. The Operations handbook is a composite of procedural guidelines prepared by the City Attorney in late 1989; outlining the creation of the Planning Commission, their powers and duties, and the council handbook created mid-1990. Chair/Grothe suggested that public comments be limited to five minutes. C/Flamenbaum concurred that there be a modicum of a time limit. He further suggested that there be a policy whereas public hearings would not commence passed 9:00 p.m., and that all meetings end by 10:30 p.m. CD/DeStefano recommended placing a statement on the agenda that indicates that no public hearing items would be open after a particular time period, and that the Commission will adjourn at a particular time period. Following discussion, the Commission concurred to begin the meeting at 7:00 p.m., and placing a statement on the agenda indicating that no Public Hearings are to be held passed 9:30 p.m., and meetings are expected to adjourn around 10:30 p.m. March 23, 1992 1 Page 7 the map was approved by the City Council, the consultant at the time, RKA, was to give the details of the final conditions. However, only a draft version of the conditions was received in June of 1990. Because of the changes in staff, the final conditions had never been received. We had been operating under the draft conditions assuming that it would be the final conditions. He clarified that they are applying for an automatic extension under the Map Act. AP/Searcy explained that State Law provides an automatic 60 day extension of time for tentative tract maps. The Subdivision Map Act, and the County Code allow a one year maximum extension of time on a two year approval, for a maximum of three years of any tentative approval of a map. Noting the correspondence received by the applicant, he stated that the applicant is requesting a two year extension of time on the tentative map. However, the maximum allowed by State Law and the Code is for a period of one year. Wes Lind, engineer, located at 44 S. Chester Ave. Pasadena, stated that there is also a provision in the State Map Act which allows for an automatic extension of time when there are circumstances where the processing through the government agency has caused delay. He explained that the draft set of conditions received are very different from the set of conditions approved under the Planning Commission resolution. We are trying to work to resolve the matter and abide by both of them. Andrew King explained that because the final conditions were not received, the Department of Real Estate was delayed in the processing of the tentative map. The Public Hearing was declared open. The Public Hearing was declared closed. C/Meyer inquired if the applicant is amenable to exploring the possibility of modifying the map so it would comply with the Hillside Management Ordinance. Andrew King indicated that they could probably accommodate changes to the CC&R's and the grading conditions. DCA/Curley indicated that, notwithstanding the vesting map, the Map Act provides that we can CITY OF DIAMOND BAR MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 13, 1992 CALL TO ORDER: Chairman Grothe called the meeting to order at 7:11 p.m. in the South Coast Air Quality Management District Board Meeting Room, 21865 E. Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, California. PLEDGE OF The audience was led in the Pledge of Allegiance by ALLEGIANCE: C/Meyer. ROLL CALL: Commissioner Li, Commissioner Flamenbaum, Commissioner Meyer, Vice Chairman MacBride, and Chairman Grothe. Also present were Community Director James DeStefano, Associate Planner Robert Searcy, Planning Technician Ann Lungu, Deputy City Attorney Bill Curley, Lloyd Zola of the Planning Network, and Contract Secretary Liz Myers. CONSENT CALENDAR: Motion was made by C/Meyer, seconded by C/Flamenbaum and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to approve the Minutes of Minutes of March 23, 1992 of the Consent Calendar. Mar. 23, 1992 NEW BUSINESS: CD/DeStefano reported that discussion of the Development Review Ordinance is placed on the Discussion of agenda per the request of the Commission on the Development March 9th meeting. The issues rested on the Review following concerns: The review of buildings, Ordinance specifically single family homes that seem to be getting larger and larger; the massing on the side of residential structures; and architectural style. It was further suggested that a subcommittee, of the Commission, be formed to review some of the issues of concern. Chair/Grothe suggested that the Commission send a list of the issues, with the goals and objectives, regarding architectural review, to the City Council. C/Flamenbaum proposed to recommend to the City Council that the issue of large buildings, of any nature, should be part of the Commission's development review. Specifics could be discussed at a later date. C/Li stated that he is opposed to creating another level of government. The Commission can exchange ideas during a public hearing, and receive recommendations from staff. Chair/Grothe stated that the intent of forming a sub -committee would be to review the development review process, to develop guidelines, and to make appropriate adjustments to the process. The sub- committee would not be permanent. April 13, 1992 page 2 CD/DeStefano, in response to C/Li, explained that the issue is being brought back, per direction of the Planning Commission, after the review of a 7,500 sq. ft. home that came before the Commission only because it involved an oak tree removal permit. One of the issues being raised is to determine if homes of such scale should be reviewed on a regular basis, versus the authority contained in the ordinance which precludes Commission review. The community is expressing a desire to see these homes, and provide guidelines to make sure they are architecturally and physically compatible with the setting that they are being placed within. Staff has the following additional issues regarding the Ordinance: it is not clear when review begins or ends; there needs to be clarity of the Public Hearing process; and there needs to be further direction to staff on issues of heighth, bulk, shape, mass, size and compatibility. Staff desires to clean up the grey areas of the ordinance, modify the ordinance pursuant to the direction received by the Planning Commission, incorporating staff thoughts and, if appropriate, the wording of a subcommittee of the Commission, and then bring the package back to the Commission for full review, and forward the recommended changes to the City Council. C/Meyer, noting that the Development Code is supposed to be consistent with the General Plan, suggested that the issue of whether or not the Commission should review the construction of mansions could be reviewed with respect to the public hearing process on the General Plan. Once that is concluded, the Commission could take a look at a Development Code that would implement, and be consistent, with the General Plan. Motion was made by VC/MacBride and seconded by C/Meyer to table the matter until the completion of the General Plan review. Chair/Grothe suggested that staff receive some direction for their design review, from a sub- committee of the Commission, regarding side yard setbacks and architectural style, with the understanding that it will be rewritten upon completion of the General Plan review. C/Flamenbaum stated that the purpose of the Development Review Ordinance is to outline the procedures for a review of a particular development, and describe those applications that falls under the purview and jurisdiction of the April 13, 1992 Page 3 Planning Commission. It is not intended to do much in terms of specifics. He once again suggested that the Commission express their concerns to the City Council that the purview of the Commission should include buildings of a "yet to be determined" size or larger. C/Meyer stated that development criteria, such as setbacks, are in the zoning criteria. The Ordinance indicates that whatever findings of facts made by the Planning Commission on 5 units or more, staff would make the same findings of facts on fewer than that. Furthermore, any "size" determined would be arbitrary and capricious. Chair/Grothe received a request to speak from a member of the audience. Martha Brusque, residing at 600 S. Great Bend Dr. referencing the development that occurred on Kiowa, Crest on property once considered undevelopable, stated her concern that there are no levels of government in Diamond Bar, and not much planning. C/Flamenbaum inquired why the Commission is required to review a 2,000 sq. ft. commercial structure, but yet a 15,000 sq. ft. home does not come under the Commission's jurisdiction. The Commission voted on the Motion made by VC/MacBride and seconded by C/Meyer to table the matter. The Motion CARRIED. AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Li, Meyer, VC/MacBride, and Chair/Grothe. NOES: COMMISSIONERS: Flamenbaum. ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: None. Chair/Grothe inquired how the Commission would go about making a change to the side yard setback. C/Meyer, with CD/DeStefanols confirmation, explained that the item would have to be placed on the Commission's agenda, whereas a consensus would have to be received to give direction to staff to modify the zoning ordinance. Staff would then modify the ordinance, per direction of the Commission, come back with an environmental review, and a draft ordinance, to be presented to the Commission in a public hearing process. Chair/Grothe requested staff to place the matter on the agenda as a discussion item. Reorganization VC/MacBride suggested that the reorganization of April 13, 1992 Page 4 the Planning Commission item be moved to the last item of the agenda. The Commission concurred. CONTINUED CD/DeStefano reported that, at the conclusion of PUBLIC HEARING: the public testimony on the March 23rd meeting, the Commission directed the applicant and staff to TT Map 31977 investigate the possibility of incorporating revisions to the tentative map, permitting 16 units on 22 acres, located at Highcrest Ave. near Goldrush, in order to bring the map closer to current development standards. The applicant and staff have met to discuss potential alterations to the map. However, because the tentative revisions were submitted to the City for review on April 8th, staff has not had an adequate review period to comment, nor discuss the ramifications of the revisions with the City Attorney and City Engineer. However, staff was able to review the map briefly, from a planning perspective, and noted the following: it incorporates land form grading to the extent that it provides undulation in the 2:1 slopes being proposed; and the map has been modified to provide independent access from the street for each lot. The issues were reviewed with the City Attorney's office, and the issues are generalized in these various areas: if the map were to be continued, the existing map would remain alive allowing the developer to modify the project, if in agreement, and provide the staff with the appropriate fees based upon the fee schedule to pursue the modifications to the document; continuing the project keeps the map alive and, therefore, the developer could submit the final map to the City Council; if continued, and all the conditions of the tentative map have been met, the City Council has to approve the final map; the extension of time can be approved; the extension of time could be denied; and if denied, the developer could revise the map to meet the current standards, or to appeal the denial to the City Council. After a brief review, at this point in time, staff is not convinced that it is a map that should move forward in the system. DCA/Curley, in response to C/Flamenbaum, stated that since it is a vesting map, any changes and ordinances, that have occurred since 1990, that require health and safety modifications, can be imposed on the map as a condition of an extension. The applicant can also consent to accept a continuance based on certain amendments. There is a risk factor with the second option in that if there is a proposition, along the way, that the consent was coerced, the action could be challenged. April 13, 1992 Page 5 C/Meyer suggested that the Commission recommend, to the City Council, a one year extension of the vesting map, subject to modification of the grading plan to substantially Grading ordinance, comply with the Hillside as determined by the Community Development Director and the City Engineer. The Commission can make a finding that the old grading plan is a condition that is dangerous to the health or safety of the residents of the community. The Public Hearing was declared open. Wes Lind, 13801 Roswell, Chino, applicant, explained that not everything can be done conclusively to meet the new Hillside Ordinance because of certain constraints, such as the streets in the tract are already existing, and some of the grading has already been done. Revisions have been made to try to meet the intent of the map. He consented that what the Commission is proposing is acceptable to them. Andrew King, residing at 1595 S. McFarren, Monterey Park, stated that they do not disagree with any proposal the Commission has put forth. However, he Pointed out that since receiving approval of the tentative map in 1990, they have not received definitive direction from the City of Diamond Bar as how to proceed with this. Donald Robertson, residing at 309 N. Pantado Dr., member of the GPAC, inquired if the project falls within the parameters set up by GPAC at this time. CD/DeStefano stated that the General plan is designating that site as RL, which is low density residential with 3 dwelling units per acre. That three dwelling units per acre is consistent with all of the properties surrounding it. Gary Neely, a GPAC member, stated that, from an audience standpoint, it would be helpful to have a Picture of the project. Andrew King explained that they had presented Pictures at the time of the application. Martha Brusque stated that she hopes there was consideration made for a traffic signal with two left turn lanes at Goldrush/Diamond Bar Blvd. The Public Hearing was declared closed. April 13, 1992 Page 6 CD/DeStefano, in response to C/Meyer, confirmed that there is a resolution that sets forth the conditions for the vesting map. Motion was made by C/Meyer, seconded by VC/MacBride and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to recommend to the City Council a one year continuance to the subject to project the grading being modified to substantially comply with the Hillside Development Ordinance, that is currently in existence, as interpreted by the Community Development Director and the City Engineer. Chair/Grothe called a recess at 8:12 p.m. The meeting was called back to order at 8:29 p.m. Draft General CD/DeStefano explained that the GPAC, General Plan Plan Advisory Committee, is comprised of dedicated and concerned residents that have studied the choices for the future of Diamond Bar for the last two and one-half years. The General Plan serves as a blue print for the type of community we desire for the future and the means by which it can be obtained. The General Plan will serve as a comprehensive strategy for the management of growth and change in our community throughout the next twenty years. The Planning Commission will conduct six to eight public hearings to give the residents an opportunity to voice their opinions about the Policies outlined in the General Plan. The Commission will use public input to revise the document before it submits it to the City Council for adoption. It is anticipated that the City Council will begin it's review in the months of June and July of 1992. CD/DeStefano stated that State law requires each city and county to prepare and adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan for the physical development" of the community. The General Plan incorporates seven required elements, mandated by State law, into five major sections. The Planning Commission will review The Plan for Public Services and Facilities, and the Plan for Resource Management at tonights meeting. GPAC has made further changes, at their April 9th meeting, to The Plan for Public Services and Facilities, The Plan for Resource Management, and The Plan for Physical Mobility which outlines the Circulation Element. Staff will outline these changes to the Planning Commission, and will be providing GPAC with the final changes to these sections for their perusal at their next meeting. Various methods were used to advertise this document and the April 13, 1992 Page 7 upcoming scheduled public hearings, as indicated in the staff report. The General Plan, once adopted will not remain static. State law permits up to four amendments per year. He stated that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) had been developed as a "Program EIR", as is required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It is recommended that the Commission begin the Public Hearing process on the General Plan, receive testimony, forward comments to staff, review the Plan for Public Facilities and the Plan for Resource Management and continue the Hearing to April 20, 1992. The changes made by the Commission tonight will be brought back for the April 27th meeting. Lloyd Zola, of the Planning Network, explained that the General Plan is to "act as a constitution for development, the foundation upon which all land use decisions are to be based". This plan, upon it's adoption, will govern the zoning designations throughout the City, and the subdivision regulation. All public improvements need to be consistent with the City's General Plan, as well. The General Plan is to address all of the issues related to development, regulation, and management of land use. He reviewed the seven mandatory elements mandated by State law: The Land Use Element; The Circulation Element; The Housing Element; The Conservation Element; The Open Space Element; The Noise Element; and The Safety Element. The Diamond Bar General Plan will also include a Public Services and Facilities Element. The General Plan incorporates these elements into five major sections: The Plan for Community Development; The Plan for Resource Management; The Plan for Public Health; The Plan for Public Services and Facilities; and The Plan for Physical Mobility. In addition to the General Plan document, the Commission will be dealing with the Master Environmental Assessment, and the EIR. It is requested that the Commission review the General Plan in the following order: Public Services and Facilities; Resource Management; Public Health and Safety; Mobility; and Community Development. Following the Planning Commission's recommendations to the General Plan, the document will go to the City Council for review. State law provides that any changes that the Council wishes to make in the General Plan, that has not been reviewed by the Planning Commission, will be referred back to this Commission for a report prior to final Council action. Mr. Zola noted that, in regards to the land use element of the Plan for Community April 13, 1992 Page 8 Development, the GPAC has recommended the following: The triangular area bounded by Brea Canyon, Colima, and the 57 is to be retained as residential use; and the Diamond Bar golf course be kept as a golf course. CD/DeStefano explained that there are sections of the document that have been stricken out. GPAC has recommended that a public information document, outlining a variety of these issues, be created, and provided to the community. Also, those statements repeating what is already code, have been stricken to avoid repetitiveness. CD/DeStefano explained that in some cases, the recommendations of the GPAC may be different than the Parks and Recreation Commission, which reviewed the Plan for Resource Management in February of 1992, and the Traffic and Transportation Commission (TTC), which reviewed the Circulation Element of the Plan for Physical Mobility. Staff has forwarded, to the Commission, the recommendations of GPAC. GPAC, and the general public, has been invited to every meeting. The TTC has been specifically invited to the meeting of May 4, 1992 in order to review the Plan for Physical Mobility. The Commission concurred to first open the public hearing to allow public comment, close the public hearing to allow the Commission to review the document, with staff, section by section, and then reopen the public hearing for further public comment. The Public Hearing was declared open for comment on any portion of the General Plan not on the agenda. Dan Buffington, residing at 2605 Indian Creek, concerned that GPAC began with 30 members and dwindled down to 6 members, stated that he does not feel the document is representative of the community. He argued that the idea of preserving Tonner Canyon is unrealistic because development is coming into Tonner Canyon from LA, San Bernardino, and Orange County. Something must be done to direct the traffic out of the City of Diamond Bar. Gary Neely, residing at 344 Canoe Cove Dr., a GPAC member, thanked the Commission for sending the draft General Plan back to GPAC for further review. He complimented CD/DeStefano and staff for expediting the process. He stated that, though he has a basic philosophical difference with the idea of not building Tonner Canyon Road, he feels that 98% of the document is a good document. April 13, 1992 Page 9 Chair/Grothe inquired if there was any comment on the Plan for Public Resources and Facilities. Gary Neely made the following observations: page 2, section B, second line - Inhouse services do not include parks and recreation. The organizational structure for the City is parks and maintenance; page 3, section C, third paragraph, last sentence - The statement "sphere of influence" should read for "the entire City"; page 5, subsection D.1.1.6a - This section was put back in by GPAC and reads, "Discuss plans by the Metropolitan Water District to locate a reservoir in upper Tonner Canyon.". He requested that the word "Discuss" be changed to "Encourage". He offered to provide a status of the Tres Hermanos Water Resource Project; and page 6, Strategy 1. 3.2 - He stated that it is not a good idea to encourage this City to promote benefit assessment districts, and would like to see it removed. CD/DeStefano stated that other than the change to page 5, subsection D.1.1.6a, as referenced by Mr. Neely, the only other change to the Plan for Public Resources and Facilities, made by GPAC is on page 8, whereas GPAC added a new strategy 2.3.3 which reads, "Provide a regular City bulletin to inform citizens of current issues, public safety information, resource management information, city services, public meeting schedule, hazardous material collection programs, etc." The Public Hearing was declared closed. VC/MacBride made the following comments: page 7, strategy 2.1.1 - He is uncomfortable with the use of the word "node"; page 8, strategy 2.1.5 - He indicated that he liked the strategy and feels it should not have been deleted; and page 2, section B - He suggested there be reference made, in the menu, of the postal service, the school system (with special reference to a High School in the north end of Diamond Bar), a bus system, a comment to the existing YMCA in Diamond Bar, and a comment if there is or is not a Senior Citizen facility. C/Flamenbaum concurred with Mr. Neely if the City is going to do a Master Drainage Plan for the "sphere of influence" or the "entire City". He made the following comments: page 4, section D - There is no mention of the need for a fire station in Tres Hermanos, and one should be mentioned; page 4, section D, Goal 1 - There should be reference to Senior Citizen facilities, as well as Youth April 13, 1992 Page 10 facilities; page 7, strategy 1.5.2 - He questioned if "an ecological museum pertaining to Diamond Bar's botanical heritage" needs to be in the document. He suggested that it may be more appropriate to say "a museum pertaining to Diamond Bar's heritage"; and page 8, strategy 2.2.1 - He is uncomfortable referring to California legislation by it's associated Assembly Bill, and suggested that we cite the appropriate public resources civil code or whatever it evolved into. C/Meyer, referring to page 7, strategy 2.1.5, concurred with VC/MacBride that there should be mentioned, as often as possible, that every service needed and demanded has a cost associated with it. C/Li suggested that, page 2, Existing Conditions, mention the need for a larger Public Library System. C/Flamenbaum suggested that, page 6, Objective 1.3, strike the wording "legally defensible". He once again questioned the need for a "botanical heritage" museum. CD/DeStefano explained that there is an interest to create some sort of a heritage, historical type of museum for our residents, or a specifically identified facility, or aspect, involving the issues with the open space, land use, and the circulation element dealing with the botanical, biological resources in the community. C/Meyer suggested that the idea of a museum be indicated generically in the Plan for Public Services and Facilities, but be more specific regarding the botanical heritage of the community in the other elements of the plan. Lloyd Zola suggested changing the wording to "a museum related to Diamond Bar's natural and cultural heritage". Chair/Grothe made the following comments: page 8, strategy 2.1.5 - He concurred that there should be some mention of revenue; page 8, strategy 2.3.3 - He stated that the method of delivery in providing citizen with information is too specific. C/Flamenbaum inquired of the Commission's consensus to the wording of strategy 1.1.6a on page 4. C/Meyer indicated that the term "Investigate" may be more appropriate. April 13, 1992 Page 11 CD/DeStefano outlined the changes identified: page 2 - Review the issue of the Master Drainage Plan and deal with the conflicting language; add and expand discussion, on page 2, regarding the school facilities, the post office, the bus system, the YMCA, senior citizen facilities, and youth facilities. Lloyd Zola stated that the youth and senior citizen's facility should be added on page 3, section C, because it is not an existing condition, but rather an issue that needs to be discussed. Also, on page 2, section B, first paragraph should read "parks and maintenance", as suggested by Mr. Neely. The correct phrase, on page 3, is that a Master Plan will need to be developed "for the City and it's sphere of influence". C/Meyer, objecting to the changes made to the recreation, stated that, ultimately, there is still a City staff person that is responsible for recreational activities, whether they are provided through a contract. CD/DeStefano, concurring with C/Meyer, recommended that page 2, section B, first paragraph not be changed. Additionally, the issue of whether or not additional fire station(s) are necessary for Tres Hermanos needs to be addressed. C/Meyer suggested that the issue be tied in with Development Activity as opposed to being site specific. CD/DeStefano continued outlining the changes made: page 5, strategy 1.1.6a, would read, "Investigate plans by ..."; page 6, objective 1.3 should read, "Establish and implement comprehensive equitable solutions to the financing..."; page 7, strategy 1.5.2 should read, "...art center and a museum pertaining to Diamond Bar's natural and cultural heritage"; page 7, strategy 2.1.1 change the term "nodes" to "areas"; page 8, strategy 2.1.5 should read, "Prepare and maintain a municipal cost benefit model."; page 8, strategy 2.2.1 to reference specific assembly bill identifications to the proper civil or government code section of State law; and add on page 8, strategy 2.3.3 to read, "Provide regular information to citizens of current issues of importance." C/Flamenbaum proposed that a new strategy be added to page 5, to become strategy 1.1.7, to read, "Promote the addition of larger library facilities, April 13, 1992 Page 12 improve senior citizen and youth facilities within the City." Lloyd Zola suggested that the library be added to strategy 1.4.3 on page 7, and the senior citizen and youth facilities be added to the strategies in the Land Use Element or under recreation. Chair/Grothe recommended that the senior citizens and youth facilities be put in the Plan for Public Service and Facilities as an issue, since it is mentioned in strategy 1.3.1 of the Resource Management Plan, as referenced by Mr. Zola. C/Meyer suggested that the senior citizen's and youth facilities to be added to page 7, strategy 1.5.1. The Commission concurred. The Commission also concurred to move the library from strategy 1.4.3 to strategy 1.5.4. The Public Hearing was declared reopened. Gary Neely stated that he is concerned that the Commission only wants to "investigate" the Metro Water District plan to locate a reservoir in upper Tonner Canyon. Also, he is concerned that the Commission never dealt with the assessment district issues. Ken Anderson, residing at 2628 Rising Star, referring to page 7, strategy 2.1.1, stated that the strategy is very general. Lloyd Zola explained that the strategy aims at the intensification of the sales tax generating from existing business, not necessarily the uses themselves, by promoting "Shop Diamond Bar". Martha Brusque informed the Commission that a tremendous amount of the parking space in the shopping areas are taken by commuters from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The Public Hearing was declared closed. Motion was made by C/Flamenbaum, seconded by VC/MacBride and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to direct staff to amend the document as corrected, and to return it to the meeting of April 27, 1992. Due to the late hour, and in accordance to the policy of the Planning Commission, C/Flamenbaum proposed that the next section of the General Plan be tabled to the April 20th meeting at 7:00 p.m. April 13, 1992 Page 13 Chair/Grothe suggested that the public hearing be opened to allow anyone, who had anticipated the item, an opportunity to comment. The Commission concurred. The Public Hearing was declared opened for the Plan for Resource Management. Chair/Grothe called a recess at 10:27 p.m. The meeting was called back to order at 10:34 p.m. NEW BUSINESS: CD/DeStefano reported that, pursuant to the Ordinance amendment by the City Council, each Reorganization Commission should handle the annual reorganization in March of each year, or the first available date following April 7th of this year.

March 12, 1992 Page 2 MATTERS FROM Mr. Schad recommended consideration of a deer THE AUDIENCE: crossing sign on Grand Ave./Golden Springs area. CE/Mousavi, per Chair/Chavers request, explained that the matter was considered at the last Commission meeting. However, because staff could not obtain any information from the Sheriff Department indicating accidents caused by deer crossing, and the Fish and Game have no record of deer crossing in that area, the Commission, based on staff's recommendation, denied the request for the installation of a deer crossing. Chair/Chavers suggested that, if Mr. Schad has additional information, he should contact the City Engineer. Ken Anderson, resident, stated his concern for the traffic on the intersection of Fountain Springs and Diamond Bar Boulevard. Since there will soon be further developments in the Country Hills Towne Center, the traffic problems will increase. CE/Mousavi, per the request of Chair/Chavers, updated the Commission regarding the developments, in the Towne Center, which were approved by the Planning Commission. Chair/Chavers explained that if Mr. Anderson would like to participate in the planning process of those development on those parcels, then he should go to the City Council. If he would like to discuss the circulation aspect of the Fountain Springs/Diamond Bar Blvd. intersection, then he should contact the City Engineer, and discuss the specific concerns with staff. Staff will bring back the item as an agenda item, or an informational item, appropriately. CONSENT Chair/Chavers requested that item A of the Consent CALENDAR: Calendar be pulled.

March 12, 1992 Page 3 Request for The Commission requested staff, at the last Minutes to additional Commission meeting, to review the determine what recommendations were previously made crossing guard, a crosswalk, and regarding the traffic concerns at the Maple Hill "No Stopping" Elementary School. CE/Mousavi explained that sign by Maple because staff's files were developed February of had to request the Minutes from the Hill Elementary 1990, staff consultants of that time. The Minutes of January 9, 1990 will be available during the week of March 9th. Staff recommended that the item be postponed to the meeting,of April 9, 1992. If the Commission is inclined, the audience can be given the opportunity to comment, and make suggestions on how to improve the situation. The Commission may wish to form a sub -committee to immediately address solutions, to be handled administratively. C/Beke indicated that, rather than forming a sub- committee, he would prefer to hear the audiences' perception to the problem, and any ideas for solutions. Staff can then bring the matter back to the Commission, at the next meeting, with the recommendation. The Commission concurred. Leslie Stoltz, residing at 1755 Ano Nuevo, stated her concern for the safety of the children as they are being dropped off and picked up at the Maple Hill Elementary School. This matter was brought before the Commission January of 1990, in which the Commission recommended a crossing guard, and that the crosswalk be further studied. Also, Dr. Skinner, the principal, mailed a letter, November 27, 1991, pointing out all of the issues. We were told at that time that the matter will be studied and put on the agenda. Though we know the problem, we are unable to determine a viable solution to the problem. She requested input from the Commission. Leslie Stoltz; Sallie Paul; residing at 1429 Blenbury; Judy McFadden, residing at 1342 Spruce Tree; Veronica Hei, residing at 1928 Ano Nuevo; and Pete Wronski, residing at 1324 Deeplawn made the following comments regarding what they perceive the problem to be: there are 600 children arriving at the same time; parents come from various directions; parents stop on the "No Parking" areas; double parking; U-turns in the crosswalk; cars block driveways and crosswalks; children and parents jay walk across the street from the park; there needs to be traffic enforcement; and a sign is needed stating "Children Present" going up towards the school. March 12, 1992 OLD BUSINESS: Page 4 VC/Gravdahl noted that Diamond Point had the same type of problems. After discussion with their principal, the following solutions were done: "No Parking" signs were put in; buses were pulled off the street and into the parking lot; an officer spoke to an assembly of children; and a program was outlined indicating the route to be traveled to drop off and pick up the children. The parents at Maple Hill need to be similarly educated. He discussed possible solutions for a drop off point at the Maple Hill School. C/Beke stated that various options could be considered such as, a double yellow center line stripe, "No Parking", and/or moving the crossing guard opposite the park. He suggested that a member of staff, and a Commissioner meet with the principal and come back with a list of things to consider. In conjunction with these options, the parents must be educated. Chair/Chavers indicated that any remedial action, within staff's purview, should be taken care of immediately, in conjunction with enforcement. Motion was made by C/Beke, seconded by C/Ury and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to continue the matter to the next meeting, and to appoint a committee of one member of staff, a Commissioner, and a representative of the school, to meet next week, and come back to the April 9th meeting with information of what was done and the recommended action. AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Ury, Beke, Cheng, G r a v d a h l a n d Chair/Chavers. NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None. ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: None. VC/Gravdahl volunteered to be on the committee. Chair/Chavers called a recess at 7:40 p.m. to allow the committee to discuss a time to meet. The meeting was called back to order at 7:47 p.m. Request for AE/Liu reported that, at the last meeting, the "No Parking" on Commission, requested staff to obtain the County's Fallowfield at procedure and policy for a street sweeping program. Brea Canyon The County process, as indicated in the staff Cut -Off report, will take a minimum of six months. Mr. Frank Barowski, of 20910 Pasco Court, contacted the City in September of 1991 to complain about the March 12, 1992 Page 5 parking and street sweeping problems in front of First Mortgage Corporation at 3230 Fallowfield Drive between Brea Canyon Cut -Off Road and Pasco Court. Upon review, it appears that motorists have been using Fallowfield as a park-and-ride, and that there is inadequate onsite parking at the First Mortgage Corporation. Therefore, it is recommended that the Commission consider the four alternatives, indicated in the staff report, for the parking condition on Fallowfield Drive at Brea Canyon Cut - Off Road, and to direct staff as necessary. Mr. Barkowski stated the following concerns regarding the parking -on Fallowfield: the streets never get swept; double parking; poor visibility; and mail doesn't get delivered if there are cars parked in front of the mail boxes. He presented photos, taken yesterday, showing all the cars parking on Fallowfield as a park-and-ride. He suggested that the curbs be painted red, or signs be placed prohibiting parking. Following discussion, Chair/Chavers suggested that the area between Pasco Court and Brea Canyon Cut - Off be'red curbed allowing only 4 cars to park. He suggested putting 2 hour parking signs, 8:00 to 5:00 weekdays, further north of Pasco Court. Mr. Barowski stated that, in his opinion, limiting parking from Pasco Court to Diamond Bar Blvd. on Fallowfield, would end the park-and-ride. Sgt. Rawling suggested that "No Parking" signs, weekdays between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m., be placed to discourage park-and-ride people, rather than the two hour limit sign. Motion was made by VC/Gravdahl to limit parking, coming from the westside of Fallowfield, from Brea Canyon Cut -Off to Pasco, not fronted by residential property, from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. weekdays. The Motion FAILED for lack of a second. Motion was made by C/Ury, seconded by C/Beke and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to limit parking coming from the westside of Fallowfield, from Brea Canyon Cut - Off to Pasco, not fronted by residential property, from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. weekdays. None of the alternatives presented by staff are to be adopted. AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Ury, Beke, Cheng, G r a v d a h l a n d Chair/Chavers. NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None. ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: None.

Also, Dr. Skinner, the principal, mailed a letter, November 27, 1991, pointing out all of the issues. We were told at that time that the matter will be studied and put on the agenda. Though we know the problem, we are unable to determine a viable solution to the problem. She requested input from the Commission. Leslie Stoltz; Sallie Paul; residing at 1429 Blenbury; Judy McFadden, residing at 1342 Spruce Tree; Veronica Hei, residing at 1928 Ano Nuevo; and Pete Wronski, residing at 1324 Deeplawn made the following comments regarding what they perceive the problem to be: there are 600 children arriving at the same time; parents come from various directions; parents stop on the "No Parking" areas; double parking; U-turns in the crosswalk; cars block driveways and crosswalks; children and parents jay walk across the street from the park; there needs to be traffic enforcement; and a sign is needed stating "Children Present" going up towards the school. March 12, 1992 OLD BUSINESS: Page 4 VC/Gravdahl noted that Diamond Point had the same type of problems. After discussion with their principal, the following solutions were done: "No is Parking signs were put in; buses were pulled off the street and into the parking lot; an officer spoke to an assembly of children; and a program was outlined indicating the route to be traveled to drop off and pick up the children. The parents at Maple Hill need to be similarly educated. He discussed possible solutions for a drop off point at the Maple Hill School. C/Beke stated that various options could be considered such as, a double yellow center line stripe, "No Parking", and/or moving the crossing guard opposite the park. He suggested that a member of staff, and a Commissioner meet with the principal and come back with a list of things to consider. In conjunction with these options, the parents must be educated. Chair/Chavers indicated that any remedial action, within staff's purview, should be taken care of immediately, in conjunction with enforcement. Motion was made by C/Beke, seconded by C/Ury and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to continue the matter to the next meeting, and to appoint a committee of one member of staff, a Commissioner, and a representative of the school, to meet next week, and come back to the April 9th meeting with information of what was done and the recommended action. AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Ury, Beke, Cheng, G r a v d a h l a n d Chair/Chavers. NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None. ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: None. VC/Gravdahl volunteered to be on the committee. Chair/Chavers called a recess at 7:40 p.m. to allow the committee to discuss a time to meet. The meeting was called back to order at 7:47 p.m. Request for AE/Liu reported that, at the last meeting, the "No Parking" on Commission, requested staff to obtain the County's Fallowfield at procedure and policy for a street sweeping program. Brea Canyon The County process, as indicated in the staff Cut -Off report, will take a minimum of six months. Mr. Frank Barowski, of 20910 Pasco Court, contacted the City in September of 1991 to complain about the March 12, 1992 Page 5 parking and street sweeping problems in front of First Mortgage Corporation at 3230 Fallowfield Drive between Brea Canyon Cut -Off Road and Pasco Court. Upon review, it appears that motorists have been using Fallowfield as a park-and-ride, and that there is inadequate onsite parking at the First Mortgage Corporation. Therefore, it is recommended that the Commission consider the four alternatives, indicated in the staff report, for the parking condition on Fallowfield Drive at Brea Canyon Cut - Off Road, and to direct staff as necessary. Mr. Barkowski stated the following concerns regarding the parking -on Fallowfield: the streets never get swept; double parking; poor visibility; and mail doesn't get delivered if there are cars parked in front of the mail boxes. He presented photos, taken yesterday, showing all the cars parking on Fallowfield as a park-and-ride. He suggested that the curbs be painted red, or signs be placed prohibiting parking. Following discussion, Chair/Chavers suggested that the area between Pasco Court and Brea Canyon Cut - Off be'red curbed allowing only 4 cars to park. He suggested putting 2 hour parking signs, 8:00 to 5:00 weekdays, further north of Pasco Court. Mr. Barowski stated that, in his opinion, limiting parking from Pasco Court to Diamond Bar Blvd. on Fallowfield, would end the park-and-ride. Sgt. Rawling suggested that "No Parking" signs, weekdays between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m., be placed to discourage park-and-ride people, rather than the two hour limit sign. Motion was made by VC/Gravdahl to limit parking, coming from the westside of Fallowfield, from Brea Canyon Cut -Off to Pasco, not fronted by residential property, from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. weekdays. The Motion FAILED for lack of a second. Motion was made by C/Ury, seconded by C/Beke and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to limit parking coming from the westside of Fallowfield, from Brea Canyon Cut - Off to Pasco, not fronted by residential property, from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. weekdays. None of the alternatives presented by staff are to be adopted. AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Ury, Beke, Cheng, G r a v d a h l a n d Chair/Chavers. NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None.

CE/Mousavi explained that the residents, if asking for certain improvements, can write a letter, or submit a petition from the community to the Council or the Commission, or make a phone call to staff. CE/Mousavi, in response to VC/Gravdahl's request for an update of the "Reduce Speed Zone Ahead" sign that was to be installed by Tin Drive, stated that the sign was ordered and should have been installed. C/Cheng noted that the two left turn arrows at the intersection on southbound Diamond Bar Blvd. and Golden Springs should be moved more to the left to align with the left turn lanes. CE/Mousavi, in response to Chair/Chaver's inquiry, stated that since the design, for a 3 way stop sign for Brea Canyon/Pathfinder, will modify the entrance to the freeway, staff felt that it should be discussed with CalTrans. If CalTrans does not comment, then it will be scheduled with the City Council for discussion. CE/Mousavi, in response to C/Beke, confirmed that all Commissioners are encouraged to attend the study session scheduled March 24, 1992. VC/Gravdahl informed the Commission that, in conjunction with the Third Anniversary Celebration on April 25th, there will be a free electric bus service offered. ITEMS FROM STAFF: CE/Mousavi distributed copies of the Commission Handbook to the Commissioners. INFORMATIONAL C/Beke stated that, though he has no objection to ITEMS: the request made by Saint Denis Church, he would like it to be noted that the Commission gave blanket approval for only two Church events, Easter and Christmas. CE/Mousavi indicated that many of the items on the "Future Agenda Items" have been taken care, and it will be further condensed. March 12, 1992 Page 8 CE/Mousavi, in response to CE/Chavers, stated that discussion of the Circulation Element of the General Plan will be an advertised joint meeting between the Planning Commission and the Traffic and Transportation Commission. He will update the Commission regarding the date for that discussion. CE/Mousavi, in response to C/Beke, stated that the modifications for the right turn ingress on Grand Ave., between Montefino and Diamond Bar, will be implemented immediately. ADJOURNMENT: Motion was made by C/Beke, seconded by C/Ury and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to adjourn the meeting at 8:40 p.m. Respectively, Sid Mousavi Secretary Attest` -fiodd avers Chairman CITY OF DIAMOND BAR MINUTES OF THE TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION APRIL 9, 1992 CALL TO ORDER: Chairman Chavers called the meeting to order at 6:35 p.m. at the South Coast Air Quality Management District Hearing Room, 21865 East Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, California. PLEDGE OF The audience was led in the Pledge of Allegiance by ALLEGIANCE: Commissioner Ury. ROLL CALL: Commissioners: Ury, Beke, Cheng, Vice Chairman Gravdahl, and Chairman Chavers. Also present were City Engineer Sid Mousavi, Administrative Analyst Tseday Aberra,, Associate Engineer David Liu, Engineer Technician Ann Garvey, Sergeant Rawlings, and Contract Secretary Liz Myers. MINUTES: Mar. 12, 1992 Motion was made by C/Ury, seconded by VC/Gravdahl and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to approve the Minutes of March 12, 1992. COMMISSION C/Ury and C/Beke wished CE/Mousavi luck at his new COMMENTS: position. VC/Gravdahl wished CE/Mousavi the best of luck in his new job. He suggested that the Commission hold a meeting, strictly on the Circulation Element, prior to the joint meeting with the Planning Commission scheduled May 4, 1992. The Commission concurred to meet April 23, 1992 at 6:30 p.m. The location of the meeting will be determined later. C/Ury informed the Commission that he will be unable to attend the meeting but will submit any comments that he may have to Chairman Chavers. VC/Gravdahl requested that DKS attend the meeting as well. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Rhonda Aihara, residing at 23822 Chinook Place, stated that even though Chinook is a cul-de-sac street, it is a blind curve that appears to be an access street to other parts of the neighborhood. As a result, there is an increase of traffic. Furthermore, there is a home, on a flag lot, that seems to be providing day care. The parents are racing through during 6:00 to 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. to drop off and pick up their children, respectively. She requested an evaluation of posting "Not a Through Street" and "Children at Play" signs, as well as a rumble strip. April 9, 1992 Page 2 Chair/Chavers stated that, because he lives on the cul-de-sac, he will abstain from discussion on this matter. C/Beke stated that since Not a Through Street" signs are used for cul-de-sacs that appear to be a through street, the installation could be handled administratively, and the rest of the items be placed on the next agenda for the Commission's consideration. The Commission concurred. Sgt. Rawlings indicated that he can arrange to have selective enforcement during the peak hours of the day care service. Gary Collins, residing at 18008 Via La Cresta, Chino Hills, addressed the Commission regarding the posting of the "Keep the Intersection Clear" sign in front of the Fire Station on Grand Ave. He explained that he received a traffic citation for stopping at that intersection during the peak traffic hour. After some thought, he realized that the reason he did not see the sign was because the sign is off to one side, and obscure. He suggested that, since it is a public safety issue, the signs visibility should be enhanced by enlarging the sign, restenciling it, and changing the color so that it is eye catching. C/Ury concurred that the sign is not well posted. Chair/Chavers suggested that a new sign be reordered at the time of the restriping. CONSENT CALENDAR:Chair/Chavers requested that items A and B be pulled from the Consent Calendar. Motion was made by C/Beke, seconded by VC/Gravdahl and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to approve item C of the Consent Calendar. AYES: COMMISSIONER: Ury, Beke, Cheng, VC/Gravdahl, and Chair/Chavers. NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None. ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: None. Crossing Guard ET/Garvey reported that the Department of Public Service at Works received a request to investigate the need to Golden Springs retain a crossing guard service at the intersection Dr./Ballena Dr. of Ballena Dr. and E.Meadow Falls at Golden springs Elementary School. Upon investigation, staff recommended that, because the traffic controlled signal crossing on Golden Springs Drive is approximately 250 feet from the subject crossing, April 9, 1992 Page 3 and the volume of vehicle traffic is below minimum, the school crossing guard service should be discontinued. CE/Mousavi stated that since there has been concern from the citizens that they have not had the opportunity to review all the data, staff recommends that action on this matter be postponed to the next meeting. Chair/Chavers, noting that it now appears that the citizens have had an opportunity to review the data, suggested that the item be discussed tonight, the audience be allowed to voice their comments, and, if possible, a decision be made tonight. C/Beke stated that he would not have supported any action to remove the crossing guard service before the end of the school year. Tom Mangham, principal of Golden Springs Elementary, stated that the crosswalk at the intersection of Meadow Falls and Ballena is directly in front of the school. He is alarmed that the administration was not made aware of this situation. Parents will not use the traffic light at Golden Springs and Ballena because it is a high traffic area, and also because it is two and half blocks from the intersection where parents pick up and drop off their children. He submitted letters, to the Commission, objecting to the recommended action. The following residents voiced their concerns and objections to the discontinuation of the crossing guard service: Pam Stroud, residing at 2202 Rusty Pump, president of the PTA; Sandra Neas, residing at 778 S. Farben; Kandee Beas, residing at 23520 Jubilee; Carlos Kilburg, residing at 306 Rock River Dr., the crossing guard supervisor; Colleen parks, residing at 815 Golden Prados; Joan Luke, residing at 209 La Bonita Rd.; Mari Smith, residing at 24439 Darrin Dr.; Robin Stone, residing at 24401 Darrin Dr.; Augustine Biggs, residing at 2385 Chinook; and Dave Oliver, residing at 510 Charmingdale Rd. CE/Mousavi, in response to C/Ury, explained that since this request came from the Commission, the residents would have been notified pursuant to the recommendation made by the Commission. C/Cheng and C/Ury concurred that, after listening to the concerns, they are in favor of continuing the crossing guard service. April 9, 1992 Page 4 C/Beke stated that there was very little activity at site he time that he made a recent visit to the He stated that he will look at it once again, and recommended that the item be continued to allow each Commissioner time to visit the site. ET/Garvey, in response to VC/Gravdahl, stated that there were 117 children, and 220 cars counted between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. Irene Bowers, residing at 24301 E. Seagreen, stated her concern with the excessive speed of motorists coming down into Seagreen. She suggested ggested the g. the installation of a 3 way stop sign; trim the tree restricting visibility; a "Kids Playing" sign; a radar sign; a police survey; and a copy, with the results, of the last police survey conducted. VC/Gravdahl, noting that the peak hours are between 7:45 and 8:20 a.m., suggested that the intersection be studied at the appropriate time frame. Chair/Chavers suggested that the Cit Periodically upgrade or check crossingY tivity. After discussion with Council members, it was indicated that there is a need to do what is best for the community, and that it should not be a monetary issue. Therefore, he suggested that the crossing guard service be continued for the remainder of this school year, and be retained for the following Years as well. He also suggested that perhaps the count did not include the children coming from the end of the cul-de-sac, or those crossing midway. Motion was made by C/Beke, seconded by VC/Gravdahl, and CARRIED to defer decision till May, 1992 and that each Commissioner, if possible, go out and personally review the situation. AYES: COMMISSIONER: Beke, Cheng, g ' a n d . NOES: COMMISSIONERS: Ury and Chair/Chavers. ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: None. Request for Stop Control AA/Aberra reported that the Public Works Department received Sea Green/ Greycloud a request to consider the installation of stop signs at Seagreen Lane and Greycloud, a T- intersection, in order to control speeding vehicles on Seagreen. Based on the preliminary analysis of the data, staff determined the detail study of the intersection was not warranted for stop control. It is recommended that the Commission deny the request to install stop signs at Seagreen Drive Greycloud Lane. and Irene Bowers, residing at 24301 E. Seagreen, stated her concern with the excessive speed of motorists coming down into Seagreen. She suggested ggested the g. the installation of a 3 way stop sign; trim the tree restricting visibility; a "Kids Playing" sign; a radar sign; a police survey; and a copy, with the results, of the last police survey conducted. April 9, 1992 Page 5 Following discussion, Chair/Chavers suggested that there be yellow striping, 25 mph speed limit signs Posted, and that the area be surveyed by the Sheriff Department. Motion was made by C/Beke, seconded by C/Ury and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to accept staff's recommenda- tion denying the request for the stop signs, and to direct staff to post one or two 25 mph signs at obvious locations, giving notice to the people in the area, and to implement yellow striping to the appropriate length. AYES: COMMISSIONER: Ury, Beke Chen VC/Gravdahl, and Chair NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None. Chavers. ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: None. INFORMATION ITEM": Ed Rugle, of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works presented a brief overview of the Traffic Committee and the Synchronization County -wide Traffic Signal Synchronization Operation of Traffic Signals and Maintenance Program (SOM). He submitted handouts providing information on the development of the Traffic Committee, a matrix showing the membership, a synopsis of the SOM program, and a comparison of the SOM program with the County,s traffic signal synchronization program. He reviewed the information with the Commission. In response to C/Cheng, Mr. Rugle explained that 13 cities are presently participating in the program. Since all systems are compatible with this program, the cities would be able to maintain their existing systems and stay in the program. CE/Mousavi inquired if there is a consensus among the Commission that Diamond Bar should participate in the program, or if the program is viable for the City to consider for Grand Ave., and possibly for Colima and Golden Springs. Chair/Chavers indicated that, since the item was presented as an informational item, it would be appropriate to allow the Commission time to digest the information received, before making any comments. He requested that the item be placed as an agenda item for the first meeting in May of 1992. The Commission concurred. April 9, 1992 Page 6 OLD BUSINESS: Request for add'1 traffic AE/Liu reported that Maple Hill Elementary improvement by requested that the City investigate the double parking, illegal -turns, Maple Hill u and illegal parking in the restricted parking area Elem. School along Maple Hill Road between Blenbury Dr. and Eaglefen Dr. during school hours. VC/Gravdahl and staff met with the school, on March 18th and 20th, and agreed that "NO U- TURN", and "NO PARKING, 7AM-5PM, LOADING AND UNLOADING PERMITTED" signs are appropriate and necessary to allow a smooth and continuous traffic movement. Staff has prepared the plan for the installation of said signs. Additionally, a double yellow centerline will be striped after the area receives the slurry seal improvement scheduled for June of this fiscal year. To address the observations noted, as indicated in the staff report, staff recommended conducting a mid -block crosswalk evaluation and a warrant study for crossing guard service, including the feasibility of removing the current crosswalk on Maple Hill Road west of Eaglefen Dr. and of moving the crossing guard from Blenbury to the proposed mid - block crosswalk. Furthermore, "suggested travel routes" have been made to the school for consideration. Motion was made by VC/Gravdahl, and seconded by C/Ury to install the crosswalk, as soon as Possible, and put in double yellow centerline striping after the area receives the slurry seal improvement. If a study is required for the crosswalk, the study is to be conducted, but the crosswalk is to be done as soon as possible. C/Beke suggested that VC/Gravdahl's motion be amended to accept staff's recommendation. He noted that the school year may be over by the time the warrant study is conducted. AE/Liu, in response to VC/Gravdahl, stated that a study should be done before the installation of the crosswalk. An evaluation can be ready by the next meeting. CE/Mousavi suggested that it may be more appropriate to wait on the crosswalk until after the slurry seal. VC/Gravdahl amended his motion to accept staff's recommendation. April 9, 1992 Page 7 CE/Mousavi, in response to Chair/Chavers, stated that the City should have the schedule, of the slurry seal contractor, by the first week of May. The motion and the second was rescinded. Motion was made by C/Beke, seconded by C/Ury and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to accept staff's recommenda- tion, and after the slurry seal project, if warranted, install the crosswalk before the fall school year begins, as well as put in the appropriate striping at the same time. Staff is directed to make a good faith effort to expedite the installation of the crosswalk, if the slurry seal is completed early, and it is deemed warranted AYES: .COMMISSIONER: Ury, Beke, Chen VC/Gravdahl, and Chair NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None. Chavers. ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: None. Policy for funding traff. CE/Mousavi reported that, on October 10, 1991, the Commission signals on list with two received a priorityhose categories included: priv. & public intersections t intersections with completed warranted studies; and candidate intersections for warrant studies. The Commission requested that private/public street intersections be placed in a special category until a policy for funding of traffic signals on such intersections is developed. It is recommended that the Commission discuss the matter and consider the option of using number of lanes to determine the fair share cost to fund traffic signals on private/public street intersections, as indicated in the staff report, and forward the recommendation to the City Council. CE/Mousavi, in response to C/Ury's inquiry, explained that one of the arguments to charge private developments is because gas tax monies are only paid for improvements on public streets, and, generally, streets are maintained by the gas tax monies. Also, other funding available are usually for public streets only, not private. Another argument is that private developments are the sole users of those intersections, and a signal would not be needed had it not been for that development. It is a policy issue for the Commission to discuss. C/Ury stated that those people in the private areas are paying gas tax monies, and also pay for the maintenance of their private roads, at no cost to the City. VC/Gravdahl concurred. April 9, 1992 Page 8 C/Beke stated that if the signal is going to be warranted, because of accidents for example, the accidents are all going to occur on the public street. Motion was made by C/Beke, seconded by C/Ury and CARRIED to recommend to the City Council that they adopt a policy with regard to funding of signals at private street or driveway intersection with public highways along these lines: o Proposed Development - The cost of the signal would be borne 100% by the developers on the private street. It would be done at no cost to the City. o Existing Development (involving commercial property) - The cost be shared based on the number of lanes at the intersection. if it is a T -intersection, and one lane is private, it would be split on a 1/3 private street contribution, 2/3 public. If it is a four legged intersection, one lane private, it would be a 3/4 public, 1/4 private sharing of the costs. o Existing Residential Subdivision street coming into a Public street - The cost be borne 100% by the City.

ITEMS FROM C/Beke suggested that the island at Grand and COMMISSIONERS: Montefino may have to be extended past the library to help Century 21. CE/Mousavi, in response to C/Beke's inquiry, explained that, other than what has already been approved by the Commission, only those additional requests made by St. Denis for parking exemptions for special occasions will come to the Commission for approval. CE/Mousavi, in response to VC/Gravdahl, stated that the "Reduce Speed Ahead" signs should have been installed on Diamond Bar Boulevard. Staff will check into the matter. ITEMS FROM CE/Mousavi announced that this is his last meeting STAFF: with the Commission. He thanked the Commission for the opportunity to have worked with them. April 9, 1992 Page 9 INFORMATION Chair/Chavers indicated that he was comfortable ITEMB: with the revisions made to the TIA report. C/Ury abstained from discussion regarding the correspondence received from the Walnut Valley School District. C/Beke and VC/Gravdahl indicated their displeasure with the School District's seemingly lack of cooperation. Chair/Chavers, noting that the signs will benefit the City, stated that the safety of the community should not be jeopardized, even if the attitude of the School District seems to be inappropriate. C/Beke stated that, as the area is presently posted, it can still be used as a loading zone. There is nothing there that is precluding them from operating in a safe manner. If they want to do something different that is to their advantage, then they should pay for it. ADJOURNMENT: Motion was made by Chair/Chavers, seconded by C/Ury and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to adjourn the meeting at 9:44 p.m. to April 23, 1992 at 6:30 p.m. Respectively, /C/ Sirs Mrnicavi Sid Mousavi Secretary Attest: /s/ Todd Chavers Todd Chavers Chairman CITY OF DIAMOND BAR MINUTES OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MARCH 12, 1992 CALL TO ORDER: PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: ROLL CALL: CONSENT CALENDAR: Chairman Whelan called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. at City Hall, 21660 E.

It is suggested that the document going to the Council be more of a general statement, as opposed to specifics. VC/Ruzicka suggested that the third paragraph, first page, of the "White Paper", should include a statement that outlines the Commission's goals for this year, to read, "The completion of this needs assessment, and Parks and Recreation Master Plan will be the goal of the Commission this year.". The third paragraph, of the second page, stating, "The utilization of Edison easements", should be moved down to a lower paragraph so that it is a separate idea. Furthermore, the Mission Profile and Priorities List should be updated, and the 8 categories bulleted to make sure it contains everything the Commission thinks should be on there, and the order of priority. He suggested March 12, 1992 Page 2 that the following items should be included in the categories: A Parks Master Plan, under sub- committees; A Needs Assessment; and, under Policy, an idea for Impact Fees for new homes and apartments. C/Medina suggested that the third paragraph also include that one of the goals is to get children involved in the community. Chair/Whelan suggested that the Commission review the "White Paper" by paragraph. The Commission concurred. Following discussion, the Commission concurred on the following changes: the second paragraph should become the first paragraph; paragraph three should become the second paragraph; paragraph one should become paragraph four; the statement, "This will lead to developing properties to the best and highest use possible.", should follow the needs assessment, and added to paragraph 2; the first line of paragraph two should be modified to read "The Commission's top priority is to develop a Master Plan of Parks, that includes a recreational needs assessment for the community.", and the following sentence should be amended to read, "...be established and periodically be updated."; following the last statement, the wording should indicate that "The completion of this needs assessment and Master Plan will be the goal of the Commission for this year."; add that professional consultants will also be sought for assistance, as well as local colleges and universities; there should be a statement, inserted in the middle of paragraph four, indicating the economic challenges; revise the statement, "It is apparent that the City does not have the physical or the economic resources..." to indicate "The importance of economic resources to the fulfillment of any of the goals and objectives is important."; and omit "In severe economic times..." of paragraph three. The Commission began review of the "White Paper" work sheet. VC/Ruzicka, concerned that the Administration item can be misinterpreted to mean that the Commission has a desire to hire office and field staff, suggested that the item be crossed out. March 12, 1992 Page 3 C/Schey stated that the context of the Commission's duty is to advise the City Council on recreation matters. Therefore, the Council can be properly advised by the Commission on such matters as field staff, and administrative function. ACM/Belanger suggested that the Commission could develop a policy statement, or a recommendation, to the City Council, as it relates to such items as play areas and organized programs, or picnic areas and the rental of facilities that has to do with staffing, contracting, and things of that nature. The Commission concurred. C/Plunk inquired if there was a way to receive updated information regarding recommendations sent to the City Council. ACM/Belanger stated that the same tracking format used by the City Council can be used for the Commission, so that the Commission can receive monthly updates regarding priority items. C/Plunk noted that the Commission had concurred that the title of Community Recreation Trust Fund would be changed. Chair/Whelan suggested that the Commission review the work sheet category by category. Administration C/Schey suggested that it would be appropriate to add a needs assessment and Master Parks Plan both here, and in the Sub -committee category. Budget Items C/Schey stated that he would like the utilization of existing Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Districts included in this category to indicate that such a mechanism is possible and effective. C/Plunk inquired if the JPA, Adopt -A -Park, and the Community Recreation Trust Fund should be put in this category. Chair/Whelan indicated that the Adopt -A -Park should be under Programming. The impact fees, mentioned by VC/Ruzicka, would go under Policy. The placement of the JPA will be determined at a later time. March 12, 1992 Page 4 Acquisitions C/Plunk suggested that the Larkstone Park item indicate Larkstone Park expansion. C/Plunk, noting that the 12 acre site at Lanterman is not for sale, but rather that the owners may be interested in a JPA, suggested that the item be more specific. VC/Ruzicka stated that the Lanterman site can be included in the statement written on the bottom of the document which mentions other sites considered for a JPA. Chair/Whelan, in response to C/Plunk, indicated that the Community Civic Center/Senior Center site would be placed under Capital Improvement and Budget. ACM/Belanger, in response to C/Schey's inquiry if there should be mention of the acquisition of nature areas like Sandstone Canyon, suggested that it be listed as Conservancy Areas. C/Medina suggested that a permit fee be charged, particularly at peak times, for the use of the tennis facilities in parks, such as Ronald Reagan, so that the facilities are equitably shared. Chair/Whelan stated that it has been addressed under the Park Use Policy. Capital Improvements C/Plunk suggested that the category be split into major and minor. The Commission concurred on the following: a public pool; a Community Center/Senior Center; a gymnasium; unless there is a separate category, the JPA, with Pomona, regarding the YMCA Little League for possible field usage; the JPA with Lanterman; lights at Summitridge Park; and retrofitting seeding at Summitridge Park and Peterson Park. C/Schey suggested that there be funding for a professional assessment of the turf needs, at the various parks. March 12, 1992 Page 5 ACM/Belanger, with the Commission's concurrence, called the category, suggested by C/Schey, Turf and Field Appraisal and Maintenance Program. In response to C/Plunk, the checking of the brick dust at all the Parks, would be part of the same category. C/Plunk stated that it was suggested that scalping the second baseball diamond, at Paul Grow Park, may be more cost effective, and give a better playing diamond. VC/Ruzicka indicated that sports organizations don't like scalped infields because they get rutted, and players may be injured. C/Plunk inquired if the upgrading the lights a Heritage Park should be placed under a Light Assessment and Maintenance category. Chair/Whelan stated that it may be more cost effective to look at improving lighting and replacing fixtures at Heritage Park, rather than replacing them. ACM/Belanger in response to C/Medina's suggestion to place a meter box on the lighting system, stated that because of vandalism, it is better to make the lights free, with a timer on the system. C/Schey suggested that the Commission consider, as a future option, the system of issuing cards to user groups to access the lights. Programming/Special Events The Commission concurred on the following: a nature center; an anniversary celebration; the Oak as a City Tree; at -risk youth intermural sports program; City sponsored sports festival; adopt -a -park; and Arbor Day programming. C/Plunk suggested putting an insert, on the Oak as the City Tree, into the document, for the purpose of getting it on the agenda. Chair/Whelan, in response to C/Plunk, stated that Reservation signage is part of the Park Use Policy. March 12, 1992 Page 6 Sub -committees Chair/Whelan, in response to C/Plunk, stated that the needs assessment is under the Parks Master Plan. VC/Ruzicka explained that he put down the sub- committees that he thought were currently in existence. Other sub -committees include: Adopt -A - Park; Sports User Groups; Senior Citizens; Master Plan; Recreation Program; and Conservancy. Policy The Commission concurred on the following: impact fees; greenwaste; and conservation of open space. C/Plunk inquired if the title, Mission Profile, could be confused with the Mission Statement. VC/Ruzicka explained that the Mission Profile is a sketch of what the Commission is trying to address. Each item to be addressed has a priorities list. The Mission Statement, however, will include all of these areas, and each item will be discussed in depth. C/Plunk suggested that, upon completion of each item, it not only be discussed but also the recommendation to Council and it's disposition should be included. Chair/Whelan suggested a JPA heading for the purpose of discussing what JPA's are available, and which JPA to look at. The JPA should still remain in Capital Improvements. ACM/Belanger indicated that staff will distribute copies of the amended draft "White Paper" to the Commission Tuesday of next week. The Commission concurred to adjourn the meeting to Thursday, March 19th at 6:30 p.m. INFORMATION ITEMS: Resource ACM/Belanger reported that the Resource Management Management Element has been amended, per the recommendations Element made by the Commission.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION The attached Engineer's Report(s) for the City's Landscaping Assessment District Number 38, which is prepared pursuant to provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 of Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highway Code of the State of California, includes authority for the report, plan and specifications, estimated costs of improvements, a diagram for the District and the assessments. The estimated number of parcels within the existing District is 16,000 parcels and 1,100 parcels within the annexed area are proposed to be incorporated into District Number 38.

Van Nort, City Manager SUBJECT: NO PARKING ON EASTERLY SIDE OF BREA CANYON ROAD FROM COLIMA ROAD/GOLDEN SPRINGS DRIVE TO 310 FEET NORTH OF WESTBOUND ROUTE 60 OFF -RAMP. ISSUE STATEMENT The Department of Public Works has received a request from Caltrans to create a no parking zone along the easterly side of Brea Canyon Road. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution to install "No Parking Any Time" signs along the easterly side of Brea Canyon Road from Colima Road/Golden Springs Drive to 310 feet north of westbound Route 60 off -ramp. FINANCIAL SUMMARY The installation of signs will have minor financial impact on the City's budget. The funds are available through the City's traffic signs and striping maintenance account. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION On September 3, 1991, Caltrans and the City of Diamond Bar executed a cooperative agreement to improve and upgrade the westbound Pomona Freeway ramps at Brea Canyon Road. This project consists of restriping northbound Brea Canyon Road to provide for a double left -turn pocket, adding protected left -turn phase, and modifying the existing on-ramp. As a result of these proposed improvements, the existing shoulder width on northbound Brea Canyon Road will no longer be adequate for parking. No parking zone will be necessary on easterly side of Brea Canyon Road from Colima Road/Golden Springs Drive to 310 feet north of westbound Route 60 off -ramp. A copy of the location map is attached herewith for your use. Caltrans is currently preparing the plans and specifications. It is anticipated that the design will be completed by August of 1992 and construction should commence after the first of the year. Prepared By: David G.

Arczynski, City Attorney; James DeStefano, Director of Community Development; Sid Mousavi, Public Works Director/City Engineer and Lynda Burgess, City Clerk. 3. COUNCIL COMMENTS: C/Miller reported that he had heard from a number of local business owners requesting that the City consider changing the Sign Ordinance due to difficulties they were having promoting their businesses. Concern was also expressed regarding what they perceive as a lack of uniform enforcement. M/Kim responded to concerns expressed by several citizens that the City held "secret" meetings in January. The two meetings mentioned were the retreat sponsored by the Chamber held in Escondido which was open to the public and the other meeting was a personnel session for evaluation of the City Manager's performance. CA/Arczynski stated that the Council adjourned its January 7 meeting to January 9 to attend a joint meeting in Escondido with the Chamber of Commerce, the Diamond Bar Improvement Association and others and was open to the public. The other meeting was a closed session, as provided by law, held on January 18 for the purpose of evaluating the City Manager. Notices for both meetings were properly given. 4. PUBLIC COMMENTS: William George, 378 N. Prospectors Rd., suggested that the Council put the solid waste matter out to bid. Lydia Plunk, 1522 S. Deerfoot Dr., asked the Council to consider the oak as the "city tree". In addition, she suggested that the solid waste matter be sent to bid to take it out of the political arena. APRIL 7, 1992 PAGE 2 Tom Ortiz, 3308 Hawkwood, stated that there should be free enterprise and that there should be a team of haulers to serve our community. Max Maxwell, 3211 Bent Twig Ln., asked whether or not closing of the golf course is still being considered in the General Plan and expressed confusion over direction for wording in the General Plan given to GPAC in a memo by the City Manager. C/Miller stated that recommendations made by GPAC will not necessarily become part of the final General Plan. He explained that the GPAC's recommendations will be discussed at public hearings held by the Planning Commission. The Commission's recommendations, as well as GPAC's, will be discussed during City Council public hearings before final adoption of the General Plan by the Council. CDD/DeStefano stated that GPAC, the Planning Commission and the Council wanted any reference to the golf course removal, or reuse as a mixed-use commercial development project, removed from the General Plan. He explained that of the six references to the golf course in the draft document, five were removed. The sixth reference was intended for removal but was inadvertently overlooked. He verified that a memo was sent to the GPAC from the City Manager directing that the Committee discuss the issue of Tonner Canyon. He announced that GPAC will hold another public hearing on April 9, 1992 to review the General Plan and the final directions and comments that have been provided in the document. Al Rumpilla, 23958 Golden Springs Dr., complained about the installation of political signs by M/Kim prior to the 30 -day limit required by the Sign Ordinance. M/Kim reported that all his signs are on private property which are not bound by the Sign Ordinance. Bruce Black, 4842 Rodeo St., Ontario, a teacher at Chaparral Middle School, invited the Council to attend the first Chaparral Environmental Share Fair on April 28, 1992 from 2 to 5 p.m. Clair Harmony, 24139 Afamado, stated that the City had authorized a study costing approximately $3,500 for the first phase regarding a golf course development in the City some time ago. He asked the purpose of the study and what the results were. He expressed the opinion that the City should pick the lowest bidder for negotiating with on the trash issue rather than negotiating with the highest bidder. He further stated that approximately four of the Mayor's signs are in violation of the Sign Ordinance in that they extend over public right-of-way. M/Kim stated that if Mr. Harmony can give the exact location of the signs, he will make sure they are removed. APRIL 7, 1992 PAGE 3 ACM/Belanger stated that the study referred to by Mr. Harmony was performed by a local economist whose responsibility was to evaluate the market in terms of prospective locations for a golf course in the City. The study took into consideration that the D.B. golf course would remain, that a preliminary proposal for a course in the Phillips ranch area was being considered and a 36 hole course was were being proposed in Tonner Canyon. The report is not yet complete. He further explained that there is no proposal for a golf course in the Sandstone Canyon area. Don Schad, 1824 Shaded Wood Rd., requested that three trees indigenous to D.B. (the California Pepper, Black Walnut and Sycamore), be included in the existing County Tree Ordinance. He further asked that the Tree Ordinance be sent back to staff for revision or modification. Bob Velker, 22060 Cedardale Dr., asked if the General Plan would be approved prior to Tonner Canyon being developed. ACM/Belanger stated that the GPAC will be meeting on April 9 for their final review of the General Plan. The Planning Commission will hold its first public hearing on April 13 and there will be a series of additional hearings to consider the Plan in its entirety. There will be an additional series of public hearings by the City Council to discuss the plan. Development of Tonner Canyon would take place after adoption of the General Plan as the area would have to be annexed to the City. Frank Dursa, 2533 Harmony Hill Dr., asked if M/Kim had permission to place his signs on private property. M/Kim stated that he has contracted with a professional sign company who has a copy of the Sign Ordinance. Ed Littel, 1511 Deer Crossing, complained about the lack of maintenance of the trees along Grand Ave. as well as other areas requiring maintenance throughout the City. He further stated that residents should be allowed the freedom to choose the trash hauler of their choice. Ramona Runkel , 23422 E . Wagon Trail Rd . , spoke against the trash issue. Bruce Farnsworth, 536 W. Witcomb, Glendora requested that Council reconsider the Tree Ordinance. ACM/Belanger stated that, at this time, the City has a tree ordinance adopted as part of L.A. County Codes. He further stated that even without an Ordinance, the City can govern the removal of trees through conditions. APRIL 7, 1992 PAGE 4 5.

OLD BUSINESS: 7.1 MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE COLLECTION, DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING SERVICES CONTRACT - C/Forbing excused himself from discussion of this matter due to a potential conflict of interest. ACM/Belanger stated that Council previously directed staff to evaluate data provided by Community Disposal, Waste Management and Western Waste regarding their capabilities. At the meeting of March 17, staff was asked to better clarify a matrix of the data. Following clarification of the data, he recommended that staff be authorized to enter into negotiations with Western Waste Industries for an exclusive franchise. He further recommended that the negotiated rates be lower than those currently charged. C/Werner felt that the rate and service data should each rank 50% rather than the 10% and 5% listed on the matrix. ACM/Belanger stated that although the rate factor is important, it was not considered a primary factor in evaluating the companies. The following members of the public spoke in opposition to the recommendations and expressed a desire for freedom to choose their hauler: Red Calkins, 240 Eagle Nest Dr. Al Rumpilla, 23958 Golden Springs Dr. Frank Dursa, 2533 Harmony Hill Dr. Ed Knowles, 22818 Beaverhead Dr. Sue Sisk, 1087 Flintlock Chilly Borromeo, 150 Cottonwood Cove Jack Katowski, 1856 Kiowa Crest Dr. APRIL 7, 1992 PAGE 8 Nancy Villalobos, 23910 Decorah Rd., representing Diamond Point I Swim/Racquet Club, felt that the City should have open bids with consideration of: 1) number of years in service and the dollar amount; 2) willingness to sign a contract that a) regulates the monthly dollar amount with discounts for seniors and handicapped; b) services to be provided, including hard to handle items and number of bins available; c) a cap on the rate increase during the contract term; d) reasonable length of time; e) compliance with AB939. There should also be an understanding that if 40% of the community is dissatisfied, the contract will be discontinued and the second runner-up will continue for the remainder of the term. Consideration should also be given to award of a second contract for recycling. Lloyd E. Duncan, Montefino Homeowners Assn., opposed the franchise and suggested that the rate be adjusted down to $5.50 and tied to tonnage rates as an exact pass through with no precentage increases. If it is done through cost of living, it should be done through Federal District 11 funds. Sally Littel, 1511 Deercrossing, asked for an open public hearing on this issue. Richard Smiley, management agent for 8 homeowners' associations in the area, asked that the bidding continue to be open. George Wheelwright, 23433 Stirrup Dr. stated that he had received a flyer regarding the haulers involved in this process and that he had changed from Waste Management to Western Waste due to poor service. C/Miller gave the correct figures that the Council is considering for residential pick-up and recycling: Community Disposal $9.75; Waste Management $9.50, and Western Waste Ind., $10.81. ACM/Belanger reiterated that the recommendation of the staff is to establish a rate that is lower than currently charged. Following discussion, C/Werner moved to enter into an non-exclusive franchise arrangement with the three waste haulers with staff to negotiate the level of service and bring it back to Council for final approval. Motion died for lack of a second. Following further discussion, C/Werner moved to authorize staff to negotiate with the three companies listed and come back with the best contract. Motion died for lack of a second. APRIL 7, 1992 PAGE 9 C/Werner moved to negotiate with the low bidder, Community Disposal. Motion died for lack of a second. C/Werner moved to authorize staff to negotiate with the second low bidder, Waste Management. Motion died for lack of a second.

CA/Arczynski stated that the Council Personnel subcommittee had worked out the details of an agreement with ACM/Belanger for Council approval on May 5, 1992. C/Werner moved, MPT/Papen seconded to accept Mr. Van Nort's resignation, with regret. Motion carried unanimously. 9. PUBLIC HEARING: 7:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as matters can be heard. 9.1 CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING CERTIFICATION OF MASTER ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT 91-2 AND APPROVAL OF VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAPS 47850, 47851 AND 48487 - M/Kim removed himself from taking part in discussion of this item due to a potential conflict of interest. CDD/DeStefano reported that this matter involved three vesting tract maps for 120 dwelling units on 160 acres located on the back side of The Country at the terminus of Hawkwood, Sugarpine or Steeplechase and generally incorporating property located on Wagon Train at Dot Hill. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the project on November 25, 1991. Following three Public Hearings, Council directed staff to respond to issues ranging from architectural design standards, CC&Rs, geotechnical concerns, environmental issues and others. He further stated that the School District advised that they will seek full development fee entitlements on every development in the District. Further, Walnut Valley Water indicated that there are no future plans for reclaimed water systems in the area and it is not recommended to be incorporated in this project. Tony Loccacia, Manager of Environmental Services, Michael Brandman Assoc., indicated that his firm had been retained by the City to review the applicant's EIR as APRIL 7, 1992 PAGE 12 well as to prepare responses to the comments generated. He further indicated that his firm's revegetation specialist worked with the applicant's landscape architect to add performance standards for mitigation monitoring. Apichart Phukunhaphan, geotechnical engineer with Leighton & Associates, reviewed the project and reported that the geotechnical investigation was determined to be satisfactory for the present stage of the project. In response to C/Werner Is question as to whether any portion of the fill or grading on Tract 47850 would extend beyond the confines of the developer's property or to a grading easement that the developer acquired on adjoining properties, Mr. Phukunhaphan indicated that it is not expected to. C/Werner also questioned whether the City would be in a position of risk if there were future failures arising out of the developer's design or review by any of the firms. Mr. Phukunhaphan stated there would be no risk to the City. CDD/DeStefano reported that, based upon the documents contained in the EIR, the canyon west of subdivision 47850 would need to be partially filled as a result of the necessary buttressing and grading work. The fill of the canyon crosses over the property line and would need grading easements and authority from those adjacent property owners in order to satisfy the requirements of the City before any grading work would be permitted. MPT/Papen opened the Public Hearing. The following spoke in opposition to the project: Bruce Farnsworth, 536 W. Whitcomb, Glendora James R.

Description of Applicant: The newly incorporated City of Chino Hills has grown from an agricultural and dairy production area into a thriving suburban community of modem residences, open rolling hillsides and commercial development. Typical of many California communities, Chino Hills developed from a land grant. Chino Valley in the early 19th century, was called Rancho Santa Ana del Chino, grazing lands for the Mission San Gabriel. The first Inhabitants were Serrano Indians. Later populated by Spaniards, Portugese, Basque and Dutch, the Chino Ranch was the first California battle site of the Mexican American war in 1846. The area remained an agricultural community through Page -1- two world wars; sugar beets gave way to field crops, walnuts to poultry, until the early sixties when the dairy Industry moved from los Angeles and Orange counties to the Chino Valley, making it the largest concentrated dairy center in the world. Chino Hills is located on the south western tip of San Bernardino County bordering Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties. Chino Hills was incorporated November 5, 1991, from the County's Waterworks District #8. It encompasses a population of 42,000 in an area of 46 square miles. Chino Hills is a general law city with a council manager form of government. The five member City Council is elected at large for staggered four-year terms.. The City is approximately 50% developed. The City has 94 full-time employees with a payroll of $4,263,157. The current budget is $121,177,598. The City prides itself on the image of the last of the rural communities In an urban area. If. CURRENT INSURANCE PROGRAM The City is currently covered by the County of San Bernardino's Program. The County is sell insured up to $1,000,000 per claim; a lability pool covers those losses between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000. Excess coverage is in place up to $10,000,000. III. EXPERIENCE AND LOSS DATA A. General and Automobile Liability: The County has supplied a Nsting of claims from 1986 to the present date; but because the County system was set up prior to incorporation of the City of Chino Hills, the list may not Identify every claim that originated within the boundaries of the city. The majority of claims noted are not of great significance. There have been a number of minor property damage claims arising from the operation of the Water Department, which are the result of excessive water pressure. One claim from June 1987 was closed for approximately $107,000, which included defense costs. An employee of a developer sub -contractor, in the process of testing a newly installed water meter, was badly injured. He was attempting to fix a defective water meter. There were no witnesses to the injury, and some doubt as to the total extent of Injuries due to the incident. The County resisted the claim, but rather than go to trial, they contributed to a settlement with other defendants. In discussion with the City of Chino Hills, we understand that they have been well aware of the water pressure problem for a considerable time. Prior to December 1991, all water storage tanks were in the hills, at higher elevations than the majority of residences in the city. Because of the difference in height, delivery of the water supply was occasionally adversely affected by high pressure. However, in December 1991 a two million gallon water tank at the lower elevation was brought into operation, thus enabling water pressure to be consistent in all areas. IV. APPLICATION FEE AND DEPOSIT COMPUTATIONS A. Application Fee: The City has paid an application fee of $1,500. -2- B. General Liability Deposit: The Initial primary deposit was established at $151,000. The development of the deposit was based upon 3% of the projected annual payroll for 1992/1993. The excess general liability annual deposit was established at $49,000, based upon .97% of the annual payroll. Both percentage figures of annual payroll used for establishing initial deposits were approved and adopted by the SCJPIA Executive Committee. C. Workers' Compensation Deposit: City participation in the SCJPIA Workers' Compensation Program may be appropriate for consideration at some future point. The SCJPIA's overall composite "deposit rate' for workers' compensation is approximately $2.50 per 100 of payroll. V. PHYSICAL INSPECTION AND COMMENTS A. Civic Center/City Hall Complex: None: The City offices are currently housed in trailers at the corporate yard. The City plans to move the trailers onto their future City Hall site, which is currently City owned property. City offices will continue to function out of the trailers while development of the City Hall site Is underway. B. Corporation Yard: The City corporation yard was large, well maintained and completely enclosed by fencing. Vehicles and equipment were noted to be in good condition and housekeeping was good. NO hazards or deficiencies were observed. C. Parks and Playgrounds: The City owns 23 park sites with approximately 186 acres; the majority of which are small passive use neighborhood parks. Many of the "pocket" parks have been developed by the residential community developer and are maintained by the landscaping and lighting district. English Springs Park, a flagship in the park system, features gracefully terraced and landscaped recreational areas and has at its center a small man-made pond which serves as a collection basin for runoff from the adjacent hillsides. Signs adjacent to the water area specified no swimming or other useage. Four of the park sites are "natural" sites with maintained riparian trails and eucalyptus groves. All facilities observed by the survey team were found to be well maintained and attractive. D. Streets and Sidewalks: 1. Streets appear to be well maintained with adequate pavement markings and signs. Curb and gutters appear throughout the main portion of the city. Some residential areas have foregone curbs and gutters in pursuit of a rural atmosphere. During the course of our investigation no evidence of roadway undermining caused -3- by surface drainage was observed. Some roads in the community have varying grades. Crosswalks and lanes of travel are well marked with sufficient warning cigns- The city has 113 miies of streets within its 46 square miles. Approximately 13 miles of state controlled highway pass through the city. Finally, 9 fully automatic traffic signals, maintained by contract, operate within the city. 2. Sidewalks are adjacent to curbs, leaving walkways clear and offering additional line of sight for motorists and pedestrians at Intersections. Sidewalks throughout the city were observed to be in good condition and well maintained. VI. WATER AND OTHER UTILITIES Water service is provided by the City of Chino Hills Water Department through the Metropolitan Water District and ground water welts. The city maintains 15 water storage tanks, both above and In ground types. The Chino Basin Waste Water District services the area providing collection and treatment for the 46 square miles of the city. Electrical power is provided by Southern California Edison. Natural gas is available from Southern California Gas Company, and GTE and Pao Bell provide telephone service to the City.

Public: The City of Chino Hills fosters the small town feeling of accessibility and service to its residents. Incorporation was pursued to preserve the open and rural nature of the area while providing all the conveniences of a modem and grooving community. The City serves a diverse population with its nationally recognized private golf courses and large new residential tracts, attracting familes from Orange and Los Angeles counties. There are also the older more established areas, canyon dwellers and equestrian areas. The citizens appear to be satisitied with the activities and services provided and planned by the new city. B. Staff : The inspection team met with all members of the Council and department heads, and were favorably impressed with the knowledge, courtesy and enthusiasm of city personnel. They were fully and completely responsive to our many questions and requests for information. X. SUMMARY AND EVALUATION The city leadership understands and is committed to the concept of risk management and is very aware that hazardous conditions need to be closely evaluated and addressed to reduce the city's exposure to ifsk/loss. It is the SCJPIA staff's conclusion that the loss experience and interest expressed by the City Council and city staff qualify the City of Chino Hills for consideration for membership in the SCJPIA. We also find that membership will be of advantage to the city by providing economical coverage and will be advantageous to the SCJPIA by expanding its ability to spread pooled losses and costs. XI. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the application of the City of Chino Hills, for membership in the Southern California Joint Powers Insurance Authority, be approved, excluding coverage for soils or slope movement, with an initial annual general liability primary deposit of $151,000 and an excess liability deposit of $49,000 for a total annual liability deposit of $200,000. tWeurM-chino hats Page -5- 5.

MEETING DATE: May 5, 1992 TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: City Manager SUBJECT: Tentative Tract Map 51079 and Amendment to Conditional Use Permit 89-551. ISSUE STATEMENT: The applicant is requesting approval of Tentative Tract Map 51079 and an amendment to Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 89-551 for a condominium conversion of a 54 unit apartment complex currently under construction. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission recommends approval of Tentative Tract Map 51079 and the amendment to CUP 89-551 via the attached Resolutions No. 92-07 and No. 92-08. FINANCIAL SUMMARY: This project will provide all required public improvements as a part of the development and is required to pay all necessary impact fees including but not limited to school fees, traffic mitigation fees, parks and recreation contributions, and Department of Fish and Game fees. BACKGROUND: The applicant, Diamond Brothers One Partnership, has requested approval of a Tentative Tract Map and an amendment CUP 89-551 for approval of a condominium conversion. The following is a brief chronology on the 54 unit apartment project currently under construction at 800 S. Grand Ave. The chronology follows the project from submission to the County of Los Angeles, through the processing within the City and finally to the status as of this date. The project was submitted to the County of Los Angeles as a conditional use permit (11/14/89) after having received approval via plot plan review from the County. The City of Diamond Bar had passed an interim ordinance (Ord. No.15, 1989) which compelled all commercial, multi -family, and multi -unit developments 2 within the City to apply for entitlements via a CUP The County of Los Angeles transferred the project to the City in late January of 1990 for processing. The project was heard before the Planning Commission on July 9, 1990 and the public hearing was continued to the following meeting for lack of information (the applicant's architect missed the hearing). The project was approved with conditions on July 23, 1990 in a joint session of the Traffic and Transportation Committee and the Planning Commission with direction to staff bring a Resolution of Approval back to the Commission at the following meeting. The two reviewing bodies addressed the traffic impacts and ingress/egress to the site and the necessity of requiring a coordinated signalized access. The Planning Commission also reviewed the site plan and architectural renderings via a design review. The project was approved by the Planning Commission with conditions that addressed architectural features, parking, pedestrian circulation, signalizing the project access, landscaping and maintenance, traffic impact mitigation fees, safety issues, and direction to prepare a resolution for final consideration on August 13, 1990. The resolution was approved 4-0-1. The applicant, Diamond Brothers, obtained grading permits from the City and began grading on the project in October of 1991. The Building Division approved all building plans in accordance with the Planning Commission approval. The Engineering Department reviewed the soils and geological reports as well as the road plans to guarantee compliance with the conditions of approval. The applicant submitted the current condominium conversion application in late November 1991. The Planning Commission held public hearings on the project on February 24, March 9, and March 28, 1992. The Commission adopted Resolutions recommending the City Council approve Tentative Tract Map 51079 and the approval of the amendment to CUP 89-551. DISCUSSION: The application is for the subdivision of the 4.5 acre site into one (1) lot and the conversion of the 54 apartment units to condominiums for the purpose of ownership. Additionally, the applicant is requesting to amend CUP 89-551 in order to upgrade the amenities of the project. These requested alterations include interior and exterior changes in addition to providing additional parking spaces and a security gate at the entrance of the project. Tentative Tract Map The project as approved by the Planning Commission has a density of 12 units per acre and will not change as a part of the subdivision application. The site is zoned R-4-(40) U which allows a maximum of 40 units per acre. The Community General Plan designation is Urban 3, which allows a density that can vary from 6.1 to 12 units per acre. The project is consistent with or below most of the existing multi -family residential projects developed within the City. The approval of the tentative map will allow the air space subdivision of the units and each unit will then have a legal description. Additionally, the applicant submitted a draft set of Conditions, Covenants, and Restrictions (CC&R's) to the City for review. Final approval of the CC&R's by the City staff is required and the CC&R's will be recorded with the final map. A Home Owners Association with a description of their responsibilities is included within the document. A major function of the HOA will be the responsibility for the maintenance of all landscape areas. 3 Conditional Use Permit The project was approved with 54 two bedroom units. The project complies with the City's parking requirements (122 total, 81 covered, 27 uncovered, 14 guest). The Planning Commission has additionally required the applicant to provide a minimum of four additional parking spaces outside the secured gate at the entrance to the project. The purpose of these spaces is to provide additional guest parking and to provide a turn around area for cars not entering the site. In reviewing the site plan with the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department, once again the issue of the carport provision was raised. This issue was raised during the original project review. The Commission opted for carports because of the concern for storage in the garages and tenants parking in the guest and exterior resident spaces. The Commission cited this situation as creating parking deficiencies. The Sheriff Department remains concerned about the frequency of auto theft at multi -family residential projects that provide little or no enclosed parking. The Sheriff Department identified the extensive use of enclosed parking where possible and also the utilization of controlled access to the site via electric gate as appropriate detours. The Commission opted for this measure. The upgrades to the units proposed by the developer are not required by code. The upgrades are primarily for noise suppression between units and to reduce sound impacts related to traffic noise. The additions include increased second subflooring, insulation between 1st. & 2nd floor, use resilient channel through out all 1st floor ceilings and insulation of all plumbing chases. Landscaping The project will provide approximately 170,283 sq. ft (87 percent of site) as landscaped/open space area. The Parking area is provided with trees, shrubs, and ground cover that comprise approximately 10.4 percent of the total area. The sloped hillside at the southern portion of the property will be irrigated and landscaped as a part of the approved landscape/irrigation plans. The landscape pallet includes heavy application of trees and shrubs within the development and also along the exterior elevations. The development will provide the City's street trees along the sidewalk on Grand Avenue in addition to trees and shrubs at the back of the sidewalk placed to conceal the block wall. The Commission additionally required that the block wall be landscaped with ivy so as to mitigate the visual impacts until such time that the landscaping which borders the wall matures. Traffic The City Engineer has received an updated traffic report from the applicant and has determined that the proposed project will not have a significant impact over the approved project. The traffic mitigation measures placed on the project when approved as apartments have been deemed appropriate although the City Engineer has conditioned a deceleration lane, minimum 100 ft in length, into the project design. The lane will provide for right turns into the site for north bound traffic. The City Engineer is currently involved in a determination of the cost of installation of the traffic signal at the entrance to the project site. The Commission had conditioned the applicant to install the signal at his expense and to be reimbursed, the fair share contribution, by ensuing development at the time construction. 0 Park Fees The project is required to mitigate the impacts that residential developments have on the existing park facilities. The City code requires that subdivisions of both single family and multi -family projects contribute either land or in -lieu fees to the City to help offset the impacts on the existing facilities. The contribution is based on the type of units within the project and the number of units being developed. The proposed condominium project site will provide 54 multi -family attached units. The park contribution required for this development is .34 acres or an in -lieu fee of $164,333. The Commission recommends that the City Council condition the project to contribute the in -lieu fee. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: Based on the nature of this proposed project, the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for CUP 89-551 has been determined to be adequate for this project, in that no additional negative impacts will be created by the condominium proposal. PUBLIC NOTICE: The public notice was advertised in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune and the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin on April 13, 1992. Mailers were sent to 195 property owners within the required 500 ft. radius of the property on April 13, 1992.

Meyer. TT 51079 & AP/Searcy reported that the Commission, at the Amendment to February 24, 1992 meeting, directed the applicant CUP 89551 to provide staff with information related to landscape plans and a draft of the conditions, covenants, and restrictions (CC&R's). The applicant has provided the requested information. Upon reviewing the landscape pallet, staff would concur with the landscape plan as approved. AP/Searcy then reviewed the information, as indicated in the staff report. He further stated that staff supports the addition of garages at the project, or a security gate at the entrance of the site, in accordance with the comments forwarded from the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department. However, constructing garages would require a lot of architectural work so that it would not be massive. The use of the proposed carports would drastically reduce that massiveness. Staff could make either issue, garages or a security gate,- a condition of approval upon the Commission's recommendation. Staff has prepared Resolutions of Approval and Conditions of Approval. Chair/Grothe requested that the City Engineer rewrite section 5.11 of the Resolution to include a Reimbursement Agreement, instead of naming all the entities for consideration by the commission. C/Li suggested that the lot number be given instead of naming the Diamond Bar Medical Plaza. He March 9, 1992 page 4 DRAFT inquired how the park contribution amount was derived. CD/DeStefano explained the Quimby Fee process, within the Subdivision Code of the Los Angeles County, to C/Li. Subsequent to the adoption of the County's code and ordinances in April of 1989, the City Council adopted an ordinance, in mid 1990, which changed the amount per acre in terms of formulating the total Quimby Fee. The price inserted in the County Code formula will change depending upon where the property is located, and what the value of the land is. AP/Searcy, in response to C/Flamenbaum, stated that the existing structure has been approved with carports. Constructing garages would decrease the availability of parking area, and reduce the availability of landscaping. The gate can be located where it does not directly impact the availability of open space. CE/Mousavi, in response to C/Flamenbaum's inquiry regarding the location of the gate, stated that the gate should be located at least So feet from the pavement in order to stack 3 cars from the curb. There needs to be at least 3 parking spaces for guests, as well. There is adequate space to accommodate different alternative gate designs. AP/Searcy confirmed that the gate could be located at the end of the first building by the entrance. C/Flamenbaum recommended that section 4.9 of the CC&R's be amended to include a mediation arbitration clause so that alternate dispute resolutions are provided. The Public Hearing was declared open Ricky Chang, applicant, residing at 24250 Barker Dr., made the following comments: they intend to increase their recreation area, and request that the area be deducted from the park contribution formula; if the parking structure is increased, then the parking area is decreased, therefore, only 54 parking spaces can be implemented; he requested that they just pay their share of the signal, or perhaps not use a signal until the others start development; and he requested that the gate be omitted if the 54 garages are implemented. Karo% 9 1992 Page 5 Chair/Grothe pointed out that the existing condition states that the signal be installed prior to the completion of the project. C/Flamenbaum, noting that garages are often used for storage rather than parking, suggested that a security gate be installed and that carports be implemented. CE/Mousavi, in response to C/Li, stated that, to his understanding, a traffic signal was a condition for the approval of the apartment building. since the number of units remain the same, and the traffic generation for apartments and condominiums are very similar, then the need for the signal would remain. C/Li asked the applicant which would be better for the project, garages or carports. Ricky Chang stated that they would be satisfied With implementing the garages, if they are allowed to consttNict only 54 garages. The Public Hearing was declared closed. Chair/Grothe called a recess at 8:36 p.m. The meeting was called back to order at 8:45 P.M. Chair/Grothe stated that since most used for storage rather thangarages are recommend the use of carports with parking, eurit would However, the project should also incorporatetea minimal size storage facility, and a lockable bike rake. The Commission concurred. CD/DeStefano, in response to the Commissions inquiry regarding the appropriate location for the gate, stated that, subject to review by the City Engineer, it would appear that the gate would be 80 to 90 feet from the street right-of-way. If the project is approved, it should be conditioned to incorporate as many quest parking spaces on the "public side" of the gate, as possible. Chair/Grothe suggested that the Resolution be amended to include the following: items 1-8 of interior additions, and item 1 of exterior additions from the staff report from the February 24th meeting; carports; a security gate; and omit garages. CE/Mousavi read the revision to the second portion Of condition 120 of the traffic section. "Tame„ +.1_ March 9, 1992 AP6 J 7 A ~ � lot, located at 887 Grand Ave., becomes approved, a fair share cost will be developed for said signal based upon confirmation of the generated traffic data, in proportion to each projects traffic share at such time the property owner of s00 S.

CD/DeStefano stated that, based upon the Commission's discussion, it would appear the following changes to the CUP Resolution would be appropriate for consideration: -page 2, subsection B.2 should be reworded to indicate, "...that the environmental analysis conducted previously, specifically the Negative Declaration prepared for CUP 89-5510, and previously certified, does not require supplementation, amendment, or subsequent analysis in compliance with the ..."• subsection 5, be amended to indicate, "...subject to the following restrictions as to use, subject to the conditions set forth in section 6, hereafter; page 4, subsection 5.11 should be reworded as outlined by the City Engineer; condition 16 should be restated to indicate, "...CUP 89-551, not superseded by this Resolution, shall be incorporated herein by reference."; condition 17 should be amended to read, "...or the in -lieu fee Of $164,333 prior to the recordation of the final map."; add condition 19 to state, "The applicant shall prepare and provide a new site plan reflecting a vehicular and pedestrian gate at the front entrance to the site, and approximately 8 parking spaces located near said front gate."; condition 20, "The applicant shall provide draft CC&R's to the City for review and approval by the City Attorney prior recordation of the map."; condition 21, "The applicant shall incorporate the interior and exterior improvements as listed in the February 24, 1992 staff report."

C/Flamenbaum requested that the Planning Director also review the CC&R's for a consistency with the draft, as presented tonight. He would also like to March 9, 1992 Page 7 � �Il ' see the inclusion of some alternative resolution dispute in subsection 4.9 of the CC&Rfs. Chair/Grothe requested that the Resolution also include a condition requesting some planting of ivy along the walls.

Chair/Grothe, seconded by VC/MacBride and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to direct staff to prepare a Resolution incorporating the changes, as outlined, for the Commissions consideration, for the next meeting. CD/DeStefano indicated that Tentative Tract Map 51079 has similar changes needing to be made within the Resolution: subsection 6 should be renumbered to subsection 7; subsection 6 should read, "The recommendation of this Commission is conditioned on the approval and existence of Planning Commission Resolution No. XX, which amended CUP 89551, converting an apartment complex to a condominium subdivision."; and change condition # 11, of the Planning staff condition, and condition #20, from the Director of Public Works, to reflect the language as previously outlined by the Director of Public Works regarding said condition ill and 020.

Gale Ave. 1205 City of Industry, CA 91748 BACKGROUND: The following is a brief chronology on the 54 unit apartment project currently under construction at 800 S. Grand Ave. The chronology follows the project from submission to the County of Los Angeles, through the processing within the City and finally to the status as of this date. The project was submitted to the County of Los Angeles as a conditional use permit (11/14/89) after having received approval via plot plan review from the County. The City of Diamond Bar had passed an interim ordinance (Ord. No.151 1989) which compelled all commercial, multi- family, and multi -unit developments within the City to apply for entitlements via a CUP. The County of Los Angeles transferred the project to the City in late January of 1990 for processing. The project was heard before the Planning Commission on July 9, 1990 and the public hearing was continued to the following meeting for lack of information (the applicant's architect missed the hearing). The project was approved with conditions on July 23, 1990 in a joint session of the Traffic and Transportation Committee and the Planning Commission with direction to staff bring a Resolution of Approval back to the Commission at the following meeting. The two reviewing bodies addressed the traffic impacts and ingress/egress to the site and the necessity of requiring a coordinated signalized access. The Planning Commission also reviewed the site plan and architectural renderings via a design review. The project was approved by the Planning Commission with conditions that addressed architectural features, parking, pedestrian circulation, signalizing the project access, landscaping and maintenance, traffic impact mitigation fees, safety issues, and direction to prepare a resolution for final consideration on August 13, 1990. Motion: Commissioner Grothe Second: Commissioner MacBride Vote: 4-0-1 Absent: Commissioner Harmony The Planning Commission Resolution of Approval on August 13, 1990 with the following votes: Vote: 4-0-1 .Abstention: Commissioner Harmony The applicant resolved the parking condition by revising the floor plans to remove all of the three bedroom units and redesigning the affected units to preclude alterations back to three bedroom units at a later date. The applicant obtained grading permits from the City and began grading on the project in October of 1991. The Building Division approved all building plans in accordance with the Planning Commission approval. r The Engineering Department reviewed the soils and geological reports as i well as the road plans to guarantee compliance. Presently, the City has placed conditions on the maintenance of the construction within the public right of way. The applicant has paid the traffic mitigation fees and posted all applicable bonds as required by the City. The City and the applicant are currently involved in finalizing plans for the installation of the median cut and the signal at the site, the cost of which is to be borne by the developer until such time that ensuing development will contribute a subsequent pro The City is actively inspecting the project site to ensure ongoing compliance to all conditions of approval. APPLICATION ANALYSIS: The application is for the subdivision of the 4.5 acre site into one (1) lot and conversion of the 54 apartment units to condominiums for the purpose of ownership. Additionally, the applicant is requesting to amend CUP 89-551 in order to upgrade the amenities of the project. These requested alterations include interior and exterior changes in addition to providing eight (8) additional parking spaces. Tentative Tract Map The project as approved by the Planning Commission has a density of 12 units per acre and will not change as• a part of the subdivision application. The site is zoned R-4-(40) U which allows a maximum of 40 units per acre. The Community General Plan designation is Urban 3, which allows a density that can vary from 6.1 to 12 units per acre. The project is consistent with or below most of the existing multi- family residential projects developed within the City. The approval of the tentative map will- require the air space subdivision of the units and each unit will then have a legal description. Additionally, the applicant would be required to create Conditions, Covenants, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) and submit a copy to the City for review prior to the recordation of the final map. Included in the CC&Rs, the creation of a Home Owners Association and a description of their responsibilities should be included. The HOA will be responsible for the maintenance of all landscaping and any additional responsibilities deemed appropriate. As of this writing, no comments have been received from the Engineering Department. Conditional Use Permit The project was proposed with two and three bedroom floor plans. In order to comply with the parking requirements (122 total, 81 covered, 27 uncovered, 14 guest), the applicant had to revise the floor plans to provide only two bed room units. Additionally, the Commission deleted the applicant's requested garage plan in lieu of car ports. The f applicant has submitted a tentative plan for the addition of eight (8) parking stalls at the southern portion of the site adjacent to the entrance. In reviewing the site plan with the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department, once again the issue of the carport provision was raised. The Sheriff Department remains concerned about the frequency of auto theft at multi -family residential projects that provide little or no enclosed parking. This issue was raised during the previous project review and the Commission opted for carports because of the concern for storage in the garages and tenants parking in the open spaces thus creating parking deficiencies. Staff however would recommend that garages be incorporated into the design of the project from the standpoint that ownership units are systematically designed with private enclosed parking. The absence of this amenity would severely impair the owners ability to market the project. The Sheriff Department would like to see extensive use of enclosed parking where possible and also the utilization of controlled access to the site via electric gate. Staff concurs with these recommendations. The upgrades to the units proposed by the developer and not required by code. Code does not distinguish between condominiums and apartments for required construction materials. The applicant is including the following upgrades as added amenities: Interior Additions 1. Increase second subflooring from 5/8 inch plywood to 3/4 inch Plywood. Increase strength: sound control 2. Add insulation between 1st. & 2nd floor. Decreases sound transmission. 3. Use resilient channel through out all 1st floor ceilings. Decreases sound transmission and absorbs impact/movement awareness between floors. 4. Install recessed lights in kitchens and bathrooms. 5. Add dulted kitchen fans to improve air flow. 6. Insulate all plumbing chases to decrease sound transmission. 7. Add additional telephone and TV outlets. 8. Add 32 oz. carpet over 1/2" rebound pad to increase sound control and cushion. Exterior Additions 1. Redesign parking at the entrance of the parking spaces. site to provide 8 r Landscaping In reviewing the landscape plan, staff has not identified any deficiencies in the type or quantity of shrubs or trees that were approved within the project or the street trees on Grand Avenue. The project -will provide approximately 170,283 sq. .ft (87 percent of site) as landscaped/open space area. The parking area is provided with trees, shrubs, and ground cover that comprise approximately 10.4 percent of the total area. The landscape/irrigation plan complies with the Planning Commission approval. Traffic The City Engineer has received an updated traffic report from the applicant and has determined that the proposed project will not have a significant impact over the approved project. The mitigation measures Placed on the project when approved as apartments have been deemed appropriate and no additional mitigation measures are necessary. The report does not however, discuss the addition of the eight proposed parking spaces. The City Engineer is currently involved in a determination of the cost of installation of the traffic- signal at the entrance to the project site. The Commission had conditioned the applicant to install the signal at his expense and to be reimbursed, the fair share contribution, by ensuing development at the time construction. Park Fees The project is required to mitigate the impacts that residential developments have on the existing park facilities. The City code requires that subdivisions of both single, family and multi -family projects contribute either land or in -lieu fees to the City to help offset the impacts on existing facilities. The contribution is based on the type of units within the project and the number of units being developed. The proposed condominium project site will provide 54 multi -family attached units. The required contribution of park area is .47 acres. The City may decide that an in -lieu fee can be substituted for the acreage. That fee is based on the value of the required acreage. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: Based on the nature of this proposed project, the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for CUP 89-551 has been determined to be adequate for this project, in that no additional negative impacts will be created by this proposal. PUBLIC NOTICE: The public notice was advertised in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune and r the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin on February 3, 1992 and in the Highlander on February 5, 1992. Mailers were sent to 195 property owners within the required 500 ft. radius of the property. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission continue the public hearing on this project to the March 9, 1992 Planning Commission meeting pending receipt of comments from the City Engineer.

MEETING DATE: May 5, 1992 TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: City Manager SUBJECT: Tentative Tract Map 51079 and Amendment to Conditional Use Permit 89-551. ISSUE STATEMENT: The applicant is requesting approval of Tentative Tract Map 51079 and an amendment to Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 89-551 for a condominium conversion of a 54 unit apartment complex currently under construction. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission recommends approval of Tentative Tract Map 51079 and the amendment to CUP 89-551 via the attached Resolutions No. 92-07 and No. 92-08. FINANCIAL SUMMARY: This project will provide all required public improvements as a part of the development and is required to pay all necessary impact fees including but not limited to school fees, traffic mitigation fees, parks and recreation contributions, and Department of Fish and Game fees. BACKGROUND: The applicant, Diamond Brothers One Partnership, has requested approval of a Tentative Tract Map and an amendment CUP 89-551 for approval of a condominium conversion. The following is a brief chronology on the 54 unit apartment project currently under construction at 800 S. Grand Ave. The chronology follows the project from submission to the County of Los Angeles, through the processing within the City and finally to the status as of this date. The project was submitted to the County of Los Angeles as a conditional use permit (11/14/89) after having received approval via plot plan review from the County. The City of Diamond Bar had passed an interim ordinance (Ord. No.15, 1989) which compelled all commercial, multi -family, and multi -unit developments 2 within the City to apply for entitlements via a CUP. The County of Los Angeles transferred the project to the City in late January of 1990 for processing. The project was heard before the Planning Commission on July 9, 1990 and the public hearing was continued to the following meeting for lack of information (the applicant's architect missed the hearing). The project was approved with conditions on July 23, 1990 in a joint session of the Traffic and Transportation Committee and the Planning Commission with direction to staff bring a Resolution of Approval back to the Commission at the following meeting. The two reviewing bodies addressed the traffic impacts and ingress/egress to the site and the necessity of requiring a coordinated signalized access. The Planning Commission also reviewed the site plan and architectural renderings via a design review. The project was approved by the Planning Commission with conditions that addressed architectural features, parking, pedestrian circulation, signalizing the project access, landscaping and maintenance, traffic impact mitigation fees, safety issues, and direction to prepare a resolution for final consideration on August 13, 1990. The resolution was approved 4-0-1. The applicant, Diamond Brothers, obtained grading permits from the City and began grading on the project in October of 1991. The Building Division approved all building plans in accordance with the Planning Commission approval. The Engineering Department reviewed the soils and geological reports as well as the road plans to guarantee compliance with the conditions of approval. The applicant submitted the current condominium conversion application in late November 1991. The Planning Commission held public hearings on the project on February 24, March 9, and March 28, 1992. The Commission adopted Resolutions recommending the City Council approve Tentative Tract Map 51079 and the approval of the amendment to CUP 89-551. DISCUSSION: The application is for the subdivision of the 4.5 acre site into one (1) lot and the conversion of the 54 apartment units to condominiums for the purpose of ownership. Additionally, the applicant is requesting to amend CUP 89-551 in order to upgrade the amenities of the project. These requested alterations include interior and exterior changes in addition to providing additional parking spaces and a security gate at the entrance of the project. Tentative Tract Map The project as approved by the Planning Commission has a density of 12 units per acre and will not change as a part of the subdivision application. The site is zoned R-4-(40) U which allows a maximum of 40 units per acre. The Community General Plan designation is Urban 3, which allows a density that can vary from 6.1 to 12 units per acre. The project is consistent with or below most of the existing multi -family residential projects developed within the City. The approval of the tentative map will allow the air space subdivision of the units and each unit will then have a legal description. Additionally, the applicant submitted a draft set of Conditions, Covenants, and Restrictions (CC&R's) to the City for review. Final approval of the CC&R's by the City staff is required and the CC&R's will be recorded with the final map. A Home Owners Association with a description of their responsibilities is included within the document. A major function of the HOA will be the responsibility for the maintenance of all landscape areas. 3 Conditional Use Permit The project was approved with 54 two bedroom units. The project complies with the City's parking requirements (122 total, 81 covered, 27 uncovered, 14 guest). The Planning Commission has additionally required the applicant to provide a minimum of four additional parking spaces outside the secured gate at the entrance to the project. The purpose of these spaces is to provide additional guest parking and to provide a turn around area for cars not entering the site. In reviewing the site plan with the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department, once again the issue of the carport provision was raised. This issue was raised during the original project review. The Commission opted for carports because of the concern for storage in the garages and tenants parking in the guest and exterior resident spaces. The Commission cited this situation as creating parking deficiencies. The Sheriff Department remains concerned about the frequency of auto theft at multi -family residential projects that provide little or no enclosed parking. The Sheriff Department identified the extensive use of enclosed parking where possible and also the utilization of controlled access to the site via electric gate as appropriate detours. The Commission opted for this measure. The upgrades to the units proposed by the developer are not required by code. The upgrades are primarily for noise suppression between units and to reduce sound impacts related to traffic noise. The additions include increased second subflooring, insulation between 1st. & 2nd floor, use resilient channel through out all 1st floor ceilings and insulation of all plumbing chases. Landscaping The project will provide approximately 170,283 sq. ft (87 percent of site) as landscaped/open space area. The parking area is provided with trees, shrubs, and ground cover that comprise approximately 10.4 percent of the total area. The sloped hillside at the southern portion of the property will be irrigated and landscaped as a part of the approved landscape/irrigation plans. The landscape pallet includes heavy application of trees and shrubs within the development and also along the exterior elevations. The development will provide the City's street trees along the sidewalk on Grand Avenue in addition to trees and shrubs at the back of the sidewalk placed to conceal the block wall. The Commission additionally required that the block wall be landscaped with ivy so as to mitigate the visual impacts until such time that the landscaping which borders the wall matures. Traffic The City Engineer has received an updated traffic report from the applicant and has determined that the proposed project will not have a significant impact over the approved project. The traffic mitigation measures placed on the project when approved as apartments have been deemed appropriate although the City Engineer has conditioned a deceleration lane, minimum 100 ft in length, into the project design. The lane will provide for right turns into the site for north bound traffic. The City Engineer is currently involved in a determination of the cost of installation of the traffic signal at the entrance to the project site. The Commission had conditioned the applicant to install the signal at his expense and to be reimbursed, the fair share contribution, by ensuing development at the time construction. 4 Park Fees The project is required to mitigate the impacts that residential developments have on the existing park facilities. The City code requires that subdivisions of both single family and multi -family projects contribute either land or in -lieu fees to the City to help offset the impacts on the existing facilities. The contribution is based on the type of units within the project and the number of units being developed. The proposed condominium project site will provide 54 multi -family attached units. The park contribution required for this development is .34 acres or an in -lieu fee of $164,333. The Commission recommends that the City Council condition the project to contribute the in -lieu fee. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: Based on the nature of this proposed project, the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for CUP 89-551 has been determined to be adequate for this project, in that no additional negative impacts will be created by the condominium proposal.
