SEPTEMBER 1, 1992 PAGE 5 8. NEW BUSINESS: 8.1 ADOPT A PARK PROGRAM - The Parks & Recreation Commission has been approached by different community members and organizations who have expressed an interest in becoming involved in the upkeep and further beautification of city parks. These requests range from trail upkeep in Sycamore Canyon Park to tree planting in Peterson Park to painting picnic tables at Heritage Park. In response to these requests the Commission has developed an Adopt -A - Park Program which is designed to formally involve the community in the care and maintenance of city parks. This program is expected to have a limited fiscal impact on the city (less than $100 the first year), as maintenance materials required to complete routine projects are already included in the 1992-93 adopted City budget. This program may also provide for additional benefits to the city in the form of donations and in -kind support. Recommended Action: Approve the implementation of the Adopt -A -Park Program. 9.

As a result of the referendum on and resultant suspension of the General Plan, the Planning Commission is unable to take action on these ordinances and this situation will remain unchanged for an indeterminate period. Recommended Action: Continue the public hearing on these items to the October 6, 1992 meeting. 9.2 RESOLUTION NO. 92-XX: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR MAKING EXPRESS FINDINGS AND DETERMINATIONS THAT MODIFICATIONS TO THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE, UNIFORM PLUMBING CODE, AND NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, AS ADOPTED BY ORDINANCE NO. 3 (1992), ARE REASONABLY NECESSARY BECAUSE OF LOCAL CLIMATIC, GEOLOGICAL OR TOPOGRAPHICAL CONDITIONS - ORDINANCE NO. 3 (1992) : AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR REPEALING TITLE 26 (BUILDING CODE), TITLE 27 (ELECTRICAL CODE), TITLE 28 (PLUMBING CODE) AND TITLE 29 (MECHANICAL CODE) OF THE LOS ANGELES SEPTEMBER 1, 1992 PAGE 6 COUNTY CODE, AS HERETOFORE ADOPTED, ADDING A NEW TITLE 15 TO THE DIAMOND BAR CITY CODE AND ADOPTING, BY REFERENCE, THE "UNIFORM ADMINISTRATIVE CODE", 1991 EDITION, THE "UNIFORM BUILDING CODE", 1991 EDITION, INCLUDING ALL APPENDICES THERETO AND THE "UNIFORM BUILDING CODE STANDARDS", 1991 EDITION, THE "UNIFORM MECHANICAL CODE", 1991 EDITION, THE "UNIFORM PLUMBING CODE", 1991 EDITION, THE "NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE" 1990 EDITION AND THE "THE UNIFORM HOUSING CODE", 1991 EDITION "THE UNIFORM SWIMMING POOL, SPA AND HOT TUB CODE", 1991 EDITION TOGETHER WITH CERTAIN AMENDMENTS, ADDITIONS, DELETIONS AND EXCEPTIONS, INCLUDING FEES AND PENALTIES - A Public Hearing has been scheduled to receive public testimony, and adoption of Resolution No. 92-XX and second reading and adoption of Ordinance No. 3 (1992) - The State of California reviews its Model Building Code regulations every three years, and adopts the most current Uniform Building Codes printed by the International Conference 'of Building Officials.

Due to a petition circulated throughout the City, the adopted General Plan has been suspended. An extension of time from the Office of Planning and Research is being requested in the hopes that the extension will allow the City to continue processing development projects and issue permits while the process of revising the General Plan takes place.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: 11. ADJOURNMENT: CITY OF DIAMOND BAR NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING AND AFFIDAVIT OF POSTING STATE OF CALIFORNIA ) COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES ) SS. CITY OF DIAMOND BAR ) The Diamond Bar City Council will hold a Closed Session at 5:00 p.m. and a Regular Meeting at the South Coast Air Quality Management District Auditorium, located at 21865 E. Copley Dr., Diamond Bar, California at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 1, 1992. Items for consideration are listed on the attached agenda. I, LYNDA BURGESS, declare as follows: I am the City Clerk in the City of Diamond Bar; that a copy of the Notice for the Regular Meeting of the Diamond Bar City Council, to be held on September 1, 1992 was posted at their proper locations. I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct and that this Notice and Affidavit was executed this 28th day of August, 1992, at Diamond Bar, California. /s/ Lvnda Burctess LYNDA BURGESS, City Clerk City of Diamond Bar CITY OF DIAMOND BAR EXCERPT FROM CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 1, 1992 PUBLIC COMMENTS Kim Peace, 2565 Castle Rock Road, Diamond Bar: I'm here to speak on behalf of a letter that I turned in to the City Clerk today, or this past week, excuse me. I'm asking that my name be removed from the referendum for the General Plan. I'm one of those that don't feel that I was brought into this situation knowing all the facts and since I found out that I was trying to save a canyon that Diamond Bar doesn't even own, I'm asking that my name be removed from this referendum. Not only did I participate by signing the document, I further participated by collecting signatures and I'm asking that my name be removed from the bottom of those pages of signatures that I collected as well. I feel that perhaps liars is not the word for the people, the Diamond Bar Citizens to Protect Country Living, but I've discovered a lot of half-truths and I was mislead to believe that Diamond Bar was going to be destroyed forever, that the public was uninformed of issues being passed, that acres of black walnut trees were being destroyed, that this place was turning into Los Angeles --we were going to have rapid housing development, houses being torn down to build high-rise office buildings... But the one thing that really got me, I was approached by this group on a school campus because I'm an avid school supporter. And the one thing that really got me is that the schools were going to be neglected through this passing of the General Plan and because I'm an avid school supporter, this really got to me and I became involved. Ironically, because this has passed, South Pointe Middle School is not going to be able to be issued a building permit now that they have the funds to build. While I was collecting signatures, I felt uncomfortable because some of the things that happened while collecting signatures were not kosher in my eyes. Mr. Max Maxwell came around and collected the signatures once I had collected them, some of the bottom of the pages I hadn't even signed and he took care of that for me. A lady that was sitting there with me collected signatures --a lady with an English accent --and she wasn't a resident of Diamond Bar. So, I don't think that everything involved with the Diamond Bar Citizens to Protect Country Living is on the up -and -up and I just want to apologize for my involvement with this group and I... First, I'd like to apologize to the City of Diamond Bar and to the entire Council. I'd like to apologize to the Walnut Unified School District and to the children that will be affected by my participation. Thank you. Mayor Kim: Next speaker, please. Clair Harmony, 24139 Afamado Lane, Diamond Bar: I'm here on sort of, tying up some loose ends. You know, there's a problem with this system of yours of, we all come up here and talk and then 30 minutes, 45 minutes later, the Council or staff gets a chance to answer my question. We have a small audience tonight so maybe you'll be able to answer it faster. But I'm coming back to ask the question I asked last week and I asked that the ... I said in my speech last week, I said "my request tonight Mr. Mayor is that the City Attorney release a full and complete legal opinion for our review." And if you remember during the answer response which was half an hour later, the responses were about my suggestion or recommendation that maybe you should seek a second opinion, but not as to whether the attorney would release that legal opinion and he told me after the meeting that he can't do that unless he has your authorization, so I'm, I'll wait for your response tonight on that one. Also, this secret hit piece that came out a couple of weeks ago, put out by special interests who spent an awful lot of money putting it out in the dead of night by mean -spirited interests ... I had talked to Councilman Miller and because the piece looked like his literature, I'd asked him if he would join with me in making a statement against this kind of politics in Diamond Bar. Instead, 40 minutes later when he got a chance to respond to that question, the only that hung on as mine, I suppose, was that "no he didn't do it", you know, and of course, I wasn't suggesting that. But because they had made it look like his literature, I thought that it was important for him to say something that night and perhaps he'd like to address that particular question tonight, too. Also, in that particular meeting, and I'm still talking about your system of delaying answers, I responded from the audience, I yelled from the audience, "well that wasn't my question", you know, and it was sort of inappropriate and awkward to be able to yell that from back there to try to point out somebody's not answering a question that was asked and Councilwoman Papen suggested I was out of order for that. So I'll tell you what I'll do tonight, when you're ready to answer the questions, I'll come back down here and I'll be right here at the microphone and if you forget to answer a question, I'll be here to re -ask it. of course, I would, don't want to be argumentative, just to ask the question that I'd originally asked. I do have a couple of new questions on a new subject and they relate to the spring in Golden Springs and I just wanted to find out how much money we've spent on trying to cure that source of water that keeps coming out of the street and still is and how much, what do we plan to do about it now that we've had the construction crews go in there and what's being projected for future expenditures for that same future repair. Thank you Mr. Mayor. Mayor Kim: Any other speakers? Lydia Plunk, 1522 Deerfoot Dr.: There's been a great schism in the community and I was just wondering how much this particular room has to do with it because when someone comes to you with a concern or the problem, they have to address you in this room and the most polite way I can think to put it is, this is not a very intimate, informal setting to approach somebody with something. And I'm wondering if there isn't another facility in town where you wouldn't give such an impression of you the City Council versus we the people. Thank you. Mayor Kim: Anyone else wish to speak at this time? Max Maxwell, 3211 Bent Twin Ln., Diamond Bar I'm the gentlemen that Kim Peace just talked about. I do have to comment because I think she's misleading. I picked up a lot of referendums as I went around collecting and also set at quite a few tables. We had explicit information and I admit I picked up the referendums, probably from her and others, and one of my jobs was to make sure they signed that and that they were there. And that a registered voter, such as Kim Peace, representing the City, was there. Also, the other person that could have been my child who's under age, who assisted, watched what was going on and we also checked to see if the things were formal because we are very aware of these things, these issues. I know Mr. Gary Werner was out there when Tom and I were on the street and he could observe. I don't know what he saw or didn't see, but we were checked out all the time, by citizens and other people. We know we had people sign that referendum, they just come up and they seys "what's it all about" and we'd explain 'em. And we gave 'em that green card that Mr. Gary Miller keeps referring to as a "con job" and we also gave them the L.A. Times article, right here, it was a half page and the front page section of the J Section of the L.A. Times on July 26th and we also, we just re -pasted it up on here so we could hand out this instead of a scrap pile. And they had the opportunity to read it and they read it, a lot of people read it right there on the spot. They read the green card that Mr. Miller seems to think was so, such a con job. I disagree with what the young lady said here. She helped us for a few times, I think about three or four hours. We had other people contributing days of their effort. I don't think this is appropriate to put a blame on a person after the fact that I was there doing it. Now everyone in town knows I'm involved in this. I'm still Promoting the fact that this referendum is legal and that it is valid and that we did not do a con job, Mr. Gary Miller. I would respect the Council to consider this as they would Possibly between her and me a personal matter and if you think it's a con job, Mr. Gary Miller, I think you're up the wrong tree. Also, I have another comment, the reason why I came tonight, I didn't come here to defend myself, I came because of last week's meeting ... we said the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag, we all sat down and this Council took ten minutes to do something, I don't believe I have, I believe, last week's agenda right here, August the 25th, it has nothing on here about a closed door meeting prior to the session. I question, is that proper? It sure didn't look like it because people have been calling me all week saying "what's going on with this Council? They start up and then they leave." That's the reason I come, I come to get a question answered and I think our attorney over there who seems to have most of the answers can answer that for me. Thank you very much.

CALL TO ORDER: M/Kim called the meeting to order at 6:02 p.m. in the AQMD Auditorium, 21865 E. Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, California. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: The audience was led in the Pledge of Allegiance by Mayor Kim. ROLL CALL: Mayor Kim, Mayor Pro Tem Papen, Councilmen Forbing and Miller. Councilmen Werner arrived at 6:40 p.m. Also present were Acting City Manager Terrence Belanger, City Attorney Andrew Arczynski, Community Development Director James DeStefano, Interim City Engineer George Wentz and City Clerk Lynda Burgess. 3. PUBLIC COMMENTS: John Healy, 23041 Aspen Knoll Dr., expressed concern regarding the deteriorating condition of Diamond Bar Blvd. Mike Goldenberg, 1859 Morning Canyon Rd., complained about receiving notice of rate increases from Jones Intercable causing a 9.2% increase in the Basic Plus Plan and a 5% increase in the Basic Plan, amounting to a total increase of 19.2% since September 30, 1991. He stated that he would be less inclined to object to reasonable rate increases if such monopolistic franchisees held public hearings for rate increases and were governed by a regulatory agency that would oversee excess profits. Red Calkins, 240 Eagle Nest Dr., wanted the record to reflect that he is not connected in any way with the group circulating the General Plan referendum. He then thanked staff for contacting the Fire Department regarding weeds on Torito Lane and cleaning up the trash in the area. Marshall Wise complained that he had received a speeding ticket on Derringer Lane on June 7, 1992 by what appeared to be an overzealous Sheriff's Deputy. Deputy Walker seemed to be more interested in catching residents speeding out of their driveways than dealing with more serious traffic control problems. William Gross, 21637 Highbluff, stated that although City officials indicated that they have not been negotiating with the Boy Scouts regarding their property in Tonner Canyon, the Boy Scouts have indicated that they have been negotiating with the City for the past several months. He also stated that the proponents of the referendum for the General Plan hope that the Council would reconsider the General Plan and come up with a Plan more representative of the wishes of the citizens. AUGUST 4, 1992 PAGE 2 Al Rumpilla, 23958 Golden Springs Dr., objected to the changes made to the opening procedures of Council meetings: Public Comments held prior to Council Comments rather than after Council Comments as in the past; Speaker Cards which inquire into whether a speaker is for or against an issue; citizen's inquiries are not being answered by the Council as they are asked; and enforcement of the five minutes per speaker policy. Max Maxwell, 3211 Bent Twig Ln., in reference to a letter received from the State requesting that Diamond Bar submit a copy of the draft General Plan and the draft EIR to the Governor's Office of Planning and Research 30 days prior to final consideration by the City Council, asked why this material had not yet been submitted. Barbara Ruth, 1403 Winterwood Ln., President, Walnut/Diamond Bar Theater, stated that the group is in need of appropriate locations for their performances. Mack Gilliland stated that the Theater has existed due to the generosity of the Walnut Valley Unified School District. However, they would like to become a respected community theater offering artistic and recreational outlets for all ages in the community. ACM/Belanger, in response to the concern regarding the condition of Diamond Bar Blvd., stated that staff is presently exploring remedial measures, such as for surface failures, for completion in the near future in addition to slurry seal or resurfacing of the Blvd. within the next 12 to 18 months. Regarding the Jones Intercable rate increase, he indicated that the cable industry is not regulated by state and local governments as dictated by the Federal Legislature but staff will attempt to obtain more information from Jones Intercable regarding the proposed increase. ACM/Belanger then assured Mr. Wise that Lt. Mike Muravez, representing the Sheriff, has noted his concerns and pointed out that the City has not requested "selective" enforcement in "The Country." In regard to comments made by Mr. Gross, ACM/Belanger repeated that the City has not negotiated with the Boy Scouts but did contact them during the General Plan process to ask them to express their intentions regarding their property. M/Kim, in response to concerns outlined by Mr. Rumpilla, stated that he has changed the order in which Public and Council Comments are held in hope of eliminating the arguing and debating which had occurred during previous meetings. He emphasized that all members of the public are still free to express their concerns. CDD/DeStefano, in response to Mr. Maxwell's concern, stated that the draft General Plan was sent to the Governor's Office of Planning and Research directly following the Planning Commission's approval on June 8, 1992. AUGUST 4, 1992 PAGE 3 4. COUNCIL COMMENTS: C/Forbing stated that since the City held 18 public hearings regarding the General Plan, he felt the public had sufficient opportunity to express concerns. Further, the Council responded to the concerns of Tonner Canyon by zoning it Agricultural. He pointed out that State law allows a General Plan to be amended four times yearly and concerns can be discussed at that time. C/Miller reported that the Agricultural zone for Tonner Canyon means that no development would be allowed in the area and further stated that the Council has tried to be responsive to the community. He noted that it would take a General Plan amendment if Tonner Canyon ever became part of Diamond Bar and that if the Boy Scouts choose to develop as part of L.A. County, Diamond Bar would only be advisory on the matter. C/Werner encouraged citizens to get involved with the options available by obtaining the proper information. He stated that he requested staff to place on the next agenda discussion regarding establishment of a senior citizen liaison committee to include members of the City Council and the Parks and Recreation Commission to develop a department to address concerns of the seniors. He volunteered to be a member of the sub -committee. MPT/Papen, noting that both the Parks & Recreation and Traffic & Transportation Commissions have addressed issues dealing with seniors, suggested that one encompassing group be formed, as opposed to establishing five or six advisory committees to each different agency. Furthermore, the Chinese Association recently announced that they are forming a Senior Citizens group. Further, she announced that she had represented the City at a Mayor and Councilmembers' meeting regarding the budget crises during which the League of Cities presented two options: prepare an initiative action to assure that the State leaves revenue sources in line; or the more popular option calling for a constitutional convention requiring the State to balance its budget. She requested that ACM/Belanger review how the State's lack of budget affects Diamond Bar this year. ACM/Belanger reported that the State has not been able to resolve its long term budget crisis and, as a, result, all City subventions from the State have been received in non -monetary form, such as registered warrants, which are contingent upon the State doing something with the budget. 5.

COPLEY DR. MATTERS WITHDRAWN FROM CONSENT CALENDAR: 5.8 ADOPTED THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION, NO. 92-48 ENTITLED: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR, CALIFORNIA APPROVING FINAL TRACT MAP 51079, FOR A ONE (1) LOT SUBDIVISION AND CREATION OF 54 AIR SPACE UNITS LOCATED AT 800 S. GRAND AVE., DIAMOND BAR, CALIFORNIA - C/Werner stated that the Council was requested to record the final map although landscaping and tree requirements imposed on the subdivision map had not been installed. The City should have the proper documentation to assure that it does not lose its leverage on the landscaping. CDD/DeStefano explained that landscaping is a condition of the map and is bonded. All of the conditions of the project must be resolved prior to occupancy, or occupancy will not be granted. CA/Arczynski reported that on -site landscaping conditions are part of the CUP for this project. All of the public improvement requirements of the map, with the exception of the signal installation, have been completed. It was moved by C/Forbing and seconded by C/Miller to adopt Resolution 92-48, approving Final Tract Map No. 51079. C/Werner noted that the property owner could conceivably sell off individual units, leaving 54 homeowners that can't occupy the units because the landscaping was not completed. CA/Arczynski stated that the law requires the City to approve the final map if it is in substantial compliance with the Tentative Tract map. Staff reviewed the final map and concluded that it is in compliance with the Tentative Tract map, with the sole exception of the signal. They have provided an agreement and bonding to AUGUST 4, 1992 6. 7. PAGE 6 insure that the signal is installed. C/Werner stated that to satisfy the condition for the recordation of Tract Map does not necessarily mean that the work has been completed, but that all the criteria necessary for recordation of the map have been completed.

It was moved by MPT/Papen, seconded by C/Werner to adopt Resolution 92-49 approving the plans and specifications for the Heritage Park Community Building construction With the following Roll Call vote, motion carried: AYES: COUNCILMEN - Forbing, Miller, Werner, MPT/ Papen, M/Kim NOES: COUNCILMEN - None ABSTAIN: COUNCILMEN - None ABSENT: COUNCILMEN - None NEW BUSINESS: 7.1 ORDINANCE NO.

The State allows local municipalities to amend the Uniform Building Codes to meet the unique climatic, geographical and topographic conditions of the City. It was moved by C/Werner, seconded by C/Miller to approve for first reading by title only Ordinance No. 3 (1992 ) and setting a Public Hearing for September 1, 1992 at 7:00 p.m. With the following Roll Call vote, motion carried unanimously: AYES: COUNCILMEN - Forbing, Miller, Werner, MPT/ Papen, M/Kim NOES: COUNCILMEN - None ABSTAIN: COUNCILMEN - None ABSENT: COUNCILMEN - None 7.2 RESOLUTION NO. 92-XX: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR FINDING THAT THE NAME OF COLIMA ROAD, BETWEEN BREA CANYON ROAD AND WESTERLY CITY LIMIT, SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH HEREINAFTER SHOULD BE CHANGED TO GOLDEN SPRINGS DRIVE - ICE/Wentz reported that the Traffic and Transportation Commission held a hearing on this matter on July 9, 1992 and concluded that, based upon the testimony received, and the potential impact upon those businesses in that section of roadway, it would not be appropriate to change the name at this particular time, and that the street name change be deferred since the sphere -of -influence area (i.e. Fairway Drive) may be affected in the future. C/Forbing stated that the name Golden Springs Rd. should be continuous through the City. It doesn't make sense to stop the naming of the street right in the middle of the City limits. It was moved by C/Forbing, and seconded by C/Miller to approve Resolution 92-50. MPT/Papen expressed concern that business and property owners along Colima Rd. had not been notified of the meeting and that Council was considering overriding the Commission's recommendation. C/Forbing withdrew his motion with the understanding that the City Council direct staff to reschedule this item for the September 1, 1992 meeting and direct staff to send a notice to property and business owners along the affected area. C/Miller withdrew his second to the motion. The Council concurred. AUGUST 4, 1992 PAGE 8 7.3 REHABILITATION OF GRAND AVE. FROM THE EASTERLY CITY LIMIT TO GOLDEN SPRINGS DR. - ACM/Belanger stated that staff would repropose this project and bring back a new recommendation with a new mix of consultants at a later date. MPT/Papen inquired if funds for this project is coming from the Grand Ave. construction fund and if there is support from the other Councilmembers to use rubberized asphalt, or some kind of mixture of recycled materials, in the pavement. She noted that rubberized asphalt absorbs sound and may help alleviate some of the noise problem on Grand Avenue. ICE/Wentz confirmed that the project would be funded through the Grand Ave. construction fund, both for design and construction. As part of the bid process, an alternative bid item to use recycled materials is included. The Council concurred to continue this matter to September 1, 1992. 7.4 RESOLUTION NO. 92-XX: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR APPROVING A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS DOCUMENT IN FURTHERANCE OF THE PREPARATION OF A CITY-WIDE PARKS MASTER PLAN, AND DIRECTING THE DISTRIBUTION THEREOF - ACM/Belanger requested that this matter be continued to a later date. C/Miller stated that the preparation of the Parks Master Plan should be accomplished by staff and the Parks & Recreation Commission. ACM/Belanger stated that staff and the Parks & Recreation Commission would embark upon a Master Plan of Parks and Recreation development utilizing staff members and volunteers from local universities. With Council concurrence, staff was directed to bring the matter back at the next meeting. 8. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Al Rumpilla, 23958 Golden Springs, stated that on Page 66 of Roberts Rules of Order, he is allowed to return to the microphone after everyone else has spoken. He stated that he does not agree with M/Kim in interrupting the citizens from speaking and is concerned that all the rules have been changed in the last two weeks. CA/Arczynski stated that the order of business of the City Council is the Council's prerogative. Furthermore, Page 66 of Roberts Rules of Order is for a deliberative body and has nothing to do with the audience's participation at this meeting. AUGUST 4, 1992 PAGE 9 C/Werner requested the Acting City Manager to investigate ways for the City to provide solicitation of input from the public (i.e. postcards) as to how the City Council is doing.

Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, California. PLEDGE OF The audience was led in the Pledge of Allegiance by ALLEGIANCE: Chairman Flamenbaum. ROLL CALL: Commissioners: Meyer, Li, Grothe, Vice Chairman MacBride, and Chairman Flamenbaum. Also present were Community Development Director James DeStefano, Associate Planner Robert Searcy, Planning Technician Ann Lungu, Deputy City Attorney Bill Curley, and Contract Secretary Liz Myers. CONSENT CALENDAR: Motion was made by C/Meyer, seconded by VC/MacBride and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to accept the Minutes of Min. of June 22 June 22, 1992, as presented. PUBLIC HEARING: PT/Lungu presented the staff report regarding the request, by the applicant Cal Comp Insurance Variance Company, for a Variance to approve an illuminated No. 92-2 wall sign, with a sign face area of 100 square feet, to be located on the north elevation of the office building at 21700 E. Copley Drive, in the Gateway Corporate Center. The design of the building is such that tenants enter and exit their suits by common isle ways, within the building, which lead to the main and secondary entrances and exits. Individual tenants do not have direct access from the exterior of the building to their suites. As a result, per the Sign Ordinance, wall signs are not permitted. Staff finds, after analyzing this application, that there are no special circumstances or exceptional characteristics applicable to the subject property that would allow the granting of this Variance. Staff recommended that the Commission deny Variance No. 92-2 with the Findings of Fact. Chair/Flamenbaum noted that if the applicant had an office door that opened to the outside, they would be entitled to a sign without a variance. If the Commission denys the variance, the applicant could lease an area on the first floor, install a door, and then qualify for the sign. C/Grothe stated that, to his understanding, the intent of the Sign Ordinance is to limit these types of buildings, in general, to one building identification sign so that there is not a list of names across the top of that building for every tenant that gets put in there. The building can have one conforming sign on it, with the building owners name or perhaps the major tenant. CITY OF DIAMOND BAR MINUTES OF THE TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION JULY 9, 1992 CALL TO ORDER: Chairman Chavers called the meeting to order at 6:34 p.m. at the South Coast Air Quality Management District Hearing Room, 21856 East Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, California. PLEDGE OF The audience was led in the Pledge of Allegiance by ALLEGIANCE: Commissioner Beke. ROLL CALL: Commissioners: Ury, Cheng, Beke, Vice Chairman Gravdahl, and Chairman Chavers. Also present were Interim City Engineer George Wentz, Associate Engineer David Liu, Administrative Analyst Tseday Aberra, Sergeant Rawlings, and Contract Secretary Liz Myers. MINUTES: June 11, 1992 C/Ury requested that the minutes be amended on page 1, sixth paragraph, to indicate "all day delivery parking". Motion was made by C/Ury, seconded by VC/Gravdahl and CARRIED to approve the Minutes of June 11, 1992, as amended. C/Beke abstained. COMMISSION C/Ury thanked staff for delivering the Commission's COMMENTS: agenda- packets in a timely manner. He further thanked Chair/Chavers and VC/Gravdahl for attending the City Council meeting. VC/Gravdahl requested staff to investigate if the City has a policy to provide crossing guard service for summer school. ICE/Wentz indicated that staff will include an evaluation regarding the policy for crossing guard services during summer school, and the school year, at the August of 1992 meeting. ICE/Wentz, in response to VC/Gravdahl's request, stated that staff will provide the Commission with a copy of the Circulation Element, after it's adoption by the City Council, including it's appendices. Chair/Chavers, referring to comments made by a member of the general public, during the last City Council meeting, indicating that the TTC had a "trading of issues with respect to the potential opening of Sunset Crossing", stated that the TTC's intentions have always been that if Sunset Crossing had to be opened, then it should be appropriately mitigated so it is an acceptable and tolerated condition. July 9, 1992 Page 2 C/Cheng requested staff to investigate the overflow of the sprinkler system on the center divider on Diamond Bar Boulevard. She further requested that staff investigate the paving of the sidewalks on Diamond Bar Boulevard. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Milton Miner, residing at 23915 Cougus Street, stated his concern regarding the excessive speeds occurring on the intersection of Cougas Creek Road and Flint Rock Road. Chair/Chavers explained that this item is the first item on the Consent Calendar. He requested staff provide Mr. Miner with a copy of the staff report and to allow him a few minutes to determine if the recommendations made are acceptable. Stan Granger, residing at 23800 Gold Nugget Avenue, suggested that a "No U-turn" sign be installed at the corner of Cleghorn at Grand Avenue. Simon Contrero, residing at 23631 Gold Nugget Avenue, stated his concern for the danger and noise resulting from the cars traveling down hill on Grand Avenue. Chair/Chavers, noting that this matter is to be discussed under New Business suggested that all comments be held following discussion of the items previous to that. AA/Aberra informed the Commission that a resident has requested that this item be discussed earlier in the meeting because they are unable to stay. Chair/Chavers stated that the matter will be discussed following approval of the Consent Calendar. CONSENT CALENDAR:Motion was made by C/Beke, seconded by VC/Gravdahl and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to pull item A from the Consent Calendar and to approve items B and C. AYES: COMMISSIONERS:. Ury, Beke, Cheng, VC/Gravdahl, and Chair/Chavers. NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None. ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: None. Operational Chair/Chavers inquired if Mr. Miner, upon reading Analysis of the the staff report, concurred with the intersection of recommendations made by staff regarding the Cougas Creek/ intersection of Cougas Creek and Flintrock Road. Flintrock July 9, 1992 NEW BUSINESS: Page 3 Mr. Miner indicated that he is in concurrence with the recommendations made. Motion was made by C/Ury, seconded by C/Beke and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to approve item A of the Consent Calendar. Soundwall on AA/Aberra-presented the staff report regarding the Grand Ave. at request, received from citizens residing on Gold Gold Nugget Ave. Nugget, to construct a soundwall on Grand Ave. at Gold Nugget Avenue. The request for a soundwall resulted from the increase volume of noise levels, traffic accidents, speeding vehicles, and debris on Grand Avenue. It is recommended that the Commission discuss the subject matter and direct staff as necessary. Simon Contura, residing at 23631 Gold Nugget, reiterated his concern for the danger and noise resulting from the cars traveling down hill on Grand Avenue. Patricia Ayu, residing at 23656 Gold Nugget, stated that the major concern, regarding Grand Ave., is safety and privacy. She indicated that it was fortunate that no one was hurt in the accident, that occurred on Grand Ave. in April of 1992, in which a car went through her property and stopped in her neighbors property after colliding with a tree midway. Stan Granger, residing at 23800 Gold Nugget, told of an injury accident that had occurred on Grand Ave. a few years back. He suggested that some kind of a barrier needs to be constructed on Grand Ave. for the safety of the residents. Marcella Singer, residing at 23860 Gold Nugget, stated her concern for safety as well as the potential for fire hazards occurring from vehicular accidents. Nina Goncharov, residing at 23631 Gold Nugget, the resident that corresponded with the City and presented the petition, requested that the Commission respond to their concern regarding the safety issue on Grand Avenue. ICE/Wentz, in response to C/Ury's inquiry, stated that to his understanding, the City's policy, in the past, has been not to construct soundwalls on private property. He would suggest that the first July 9, 1992 Page 4 source of funding not come from the City but rather that the residents be contacted regarding their willingness to participate in funding such a project. He further responded that staff has not yet determined where the exact location of the sound wall might be placed. C/Beke suggested that staff contact Dick Hoff for a rapid verification of where the right of way ends. He noted that, since sound travels the line of sight, the soundwall may not be effective because of the steep grade of Grand Avenue. He requested staff to research the number of accidents that have occurred in the area. Nina Goncharov indicated that they are willing to accept recommendations on alternatives to the sound wall. She also noted that the election signs have never been removed from Grand Ave. in back of her property. Chair/Chavers suggested that Mrs. Goncharov contact Al Flores, the Code Enforcement officer, to remove those signs. He made the following requests of staff regarding the soundwall issue: examine the criteria to determine if the accident rate necessitates a need for a barrier; obtain Caltrans guidelines as to when a soundwall is necessary, and it's effectiveness; determine if a combination solution is required to mitigate the debris problem such as a guard rail, a grouping of trees, and/or a short fence behind the trees; and investigate if there are funds available for some of the suggested mitigation measures. C/Beke stated that he will obtain an estimate on the cost of a guardrail. Motion was made by C/Beke, seconded by C/Ury and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to continue the item to the next meeting, to include the accident report data, advisement on the ownership of the right of way property, as well as information on the availability of funds for Grand Avenue. AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Ury, Beke, Cheng, VC/Gravdahl, and Chair/Chavers. NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None. ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: None. July 9, 1992 Page 5 OLD BUSINESS: Intersection AE/Liu presented the staff report regarding the of Diamond Bar request to investigate the intersection of Diamond Blvd./Ft. Springs Bar Blvd. and Fountain Springs Road. It is recommended that the Commission concur with staffs recommendation to consider painting the northerly curb red, on Fountain Springs Road, for approximately 50 feet, and to install a "One Way" sign in the median island on Diamond Bar Blvd., in front of the driveway of the shopping complex located at the southwest corner of Diamond Bar Blvd. and Fountain Springs Road. ICE/Wentz indicated that staff will be meeting with Mr. Long, the property owner of 2640 Rising Star Drive, to discuss options on adjustments, to that wall, that may be feasible, and to present any costs that may be there. Dr. Pam Anderson, residing at 2628 Rising Star, stated her concern that the intersection of Fountain Springs and Diamond Bar Blvd. is becoming more dangerous, and that more protection for the residents are needed. She suggested that the increase in traffic could be a result from the addition of the new office development located on the corner, and the Krikorian theater. She further noted that in order to obtain appropriate visibility of upcoming traffic on Diamond Bar Blvd., a motorist must pull ten feet beyond the stop sign, which is located flush with the curb on Fountain Springs, thereby blocking the existing bike lane. Ken Anderson, residing at 2628 Rising Star, made the following comments: to obtain visibility, the limit line on the stop sign must be exceeded; there is a lot of traffic from the median of the Boulevard to Crooked Creek; since the parking on the intersection has caused several of the accidents, the curb should be painted red beyond staff's recommendation, 100 feet on the northside of the curb and 50 feet on the southside of the curb; a "Do Not Block Intersection" may be needed; a marked crosswalk may be appropriate; and a traffic study should be conducted to determine if a traffic light is needed. C/Beke explained that the crosswalk is not marked for safety reasons. He suggested the following options: put in a right turn only lane for southbound Diamond Bar Blvd. and extend the limit July 9, 1992 Page 6 line another 10 feet; or make Fountain Springs a right only out. The Commission then discussed the possible affect the Shadow Canyon street light may have on the Fountain Springs/Diamond Bar Blvd. intersection. C/Beke suggested that staffs recommendation be accepted, with the request that staff investigate the right turn only in from south bound Diamond Bar Boulevard to Fountain Springs as a way to bring the limit line out. ICE/Wentz stated that staff will investigate this design alternative. He pointed out that redesigning the existing wall will improve visibility considerably. In response to Chair/Chavers, he stated that staff has not yet spoken to the office building owner about restricting parking along his frontage on Fountain Springs. Staff has not observed many vehicles parked in that area. Chair/Chavers requested staff to research the appropriateness of a "No Parking" situation. Motion was made by C/Beke, seconded by Chair/Chavers and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to accept staffs recommendation as presented, and to request staff to investigate extending the red curb as discussed by Mr. Anderson, and to investigate the potential of a right turn only lane as a means of pushing the limit line out into Diamond Bar Blvd., to be brought back to the Commission on the August 13, 1992 meeting. AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Ury, Beke, Cheng, VC/Gravdahl, and Chair/Chavers. NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None. ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: None. Street Name Chair/Chavers stated that this item is a noticed Change public hearing The public hearing was declared opened. AA/Aberra presented the staff report regarding the desire to change the street name Colima Road to Golden Springs Drive, between Brea Canyon Road and westerly City limit. When the public hearing is complete, testimonies will be forwarded to the City Council with a recommendation. If the City Council approves the name change, it is anticipated that the transition period will take between four and July 9, 1992 Page 7 six months. It is recommended that the Commission receive and forward the public testimony with the recommendation to change the street name Colima Road to Golden Springs Drive, between -Brea Canyon Road and westerly City limit, to the City Council for approval. AA/Aberra, in response to a series of Commission inquiries, stated the following: the property owners were notified, of the name change, by letter, prior to the meeting; the Council desires the name change to maintain consistency; and staff has determined that the cost of replacing the street signs will be approximately $3,000. Motion was made VC/Gravdahl, and seconded by C/Ury to hold the decision of the name change until it is determined if the Brea Canyon Cut-off/Fairway Drive area is annexed. Chair/Chavers stated that it does not make sense to extend the name change to Lemon at this time since it would have to be changed again if we annex to Fairway. C/Ury suggested that a more logical location for the name change would be Brea Canyon and Golden Springs/Colima,, or move down to the next major intersection. He questioned why the Council desires the name change. C/Beke indicated that, though it is unusual, it is not unprecedented to change the name in the middle of a block. The Council may desire the name change simply because Golden Springs sounds more like Diamond Bar, and sounds more prestigious. He would support the name change at the Golf Course, and would not want to hold off until some annexation that may never happen. C/Cheng noted that Colima is a better known name generally than Golden Springs. The Commission voted upon VC/Gravdahl's Motion to consider the name change at a later date. AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Ury, VC/Gravdahl, and Chair/Chavers. NOES: COMMISSIONERS: Beke. ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: Cheng. The Motion CARRIED. Fixed Route VC/Gravdahl requested that this item be postponed Deviation to the next meeting because he and C/Ury were Transit Program unable to meet with the Heritage complex. July 9, 1992 page g C/Beke pointed out that the questionnaire demonstrated that though two thirds of the people want it, only one third of the people are willing to use it. AE/Liu, in response to Chair/Chavers, explained that there will be a joint meeting, with staff and the consultants, at the end of the phase one, which is the feasibility study. The consultants will be asked to present their findings to the Commission so the Commission can provide input. Motion was made by C/Ury, seconded by Chair/Chavers and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to accept staff's recommendation to receive and file. Feasibility ICE/Wentz inquired if the Commission had additional of median input regarding the preliminary design layout of islands on the proposed medians on Golden Springs Drive, Golden Springs between Brea Canyon Road and the State Route 57 Overpass. C/Beke stated that, after reading the Minutes of June 11, 1992, he is in concurrence with the statements made by Chair/Chavers indicating that the pocket lengths at Brea Canyon is too short. He stated that there is not sufficient room, on the east end, to do the proposed two bike lanes, four lanes of traffic, and a turn pocket. He noted that the water, used by In and Out Burger, to wash their driveway, flows across Colima helping to deteriorate the pavement. He suggested that staff investigate this matter. He also pointed out that the raised channelization will force a lot of u- turns out of the pockets. C/Ury, in assumption that there is sufficient widths to accommodate the proposals, stated that he preferred a combination of the last portion of option 1 and the top portion of option 3, with the modification of increasing a turn island near the intersection of Brea Canyon Road and Golden Springs, and taking out the left hand turn, so that there is more to landscape. ICE/Wentz stated that it is his understanding that part of the drive for the project is to establish a theme for Golden Springs. It was also felt that, because of the proposed overlay of Golden Springs, this would be the time to determine if a change should be made in the medians. Motion was made by C/Beke, seconded by Chair/Chavers and CARRIED to continue operating July 9, 1992 Page 9 with the two left hand turn lanes, with no raised channelization. AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Beke, Cheng, VC/Gravdahl, and Chair/Chavers. NOES: COMMISSIONERS: Ury. ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: None. STATUS OF PREY. The Commission concurred to receive and file this ACTION ITEMS: item. ITEMS FROM THE C/Ury, noting that the striping, northbound on COMMISSION: Diamond Bar making a left turn on to Grand Avenue, is in the center of one of the lanes, requested staff to investigate the matter. He also suggested that the Commission consider recommending that the areas between the walls and the back of the sidewalk be filled in with concrete. Chair/Chavers requested staff to investigate the possibility of paving the area, on Brea Canyon Road, from Pathfinder south to Diamond Bar Blvd., utilizing angled parking to encourage our carpoolers along that area. In reference to the statement made by the City Manager, at the Council meeting, indicating that the City is in close working relationship with Caltrans on the upgrading of the 57 freeway, he requested staff to investigate the possibility of the Commission becoming a conduit for that information. He further requested that Caltrans be informed that the light mounted at the ramp turn, northbound 57 freeway at Grand Ave., is not visible until you stop at the intersection, and therefore a mast arm signal should be considered. ADJOURNMENT: Motion was made by C/Ury, seconded by C/Beke and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to adjourn the meeting at 8:50 p.m. Respectively, George A.

Ga vev July 13, 1992 Page 2 The Public Hearing was declared opened. Ben Reiling, of Zelman Development Company, 166 Hanover, the general partner of Diamond Bar Business Associates, stated that it was their understanding that the building was allowed a sign on the face of the building. The sign meets all of their rules and CC&Rs, and it was believed, with the intent of the Sign Ordinance. He pointed out that, following a strict reading of the Sign Ordinance, a one story office building could have a series of signs if it is designed so that each tenant had a door. There is an inconsistency in the Sign Ordinance that needs to be clarified in the near future. It was their intention to have one sign on the building, and identify it as the Cal Comp building. In response to C/Meyer, he stated that they have an elaborate detailed sign program, that is part of the CC&R's, for all of the buildings in the Center. The Public Hearing was declared closed. PT/Lungu, in response to Chair/Flamenbaum, explained that, per staffs interpretation of the sign code, Cal Comp does not have the proper access to the outside. However, Cal Comp can have a business identification sign of 35 square feet, no higher than 25 feet high off the ground. CD/DeStefano explained that the former Planning Commission, and the City Council that adopted the ordinance, dealt with issues pertaining to limiting the amount of signage, throughout the community, as well as the quantity and size of wall signs, particularly in these multi use centers. If the tenant occupied the entire building, the sign would have been approved. The variance can be approved if the Commission feels that the variance is warranted and the code is correct in its attempt to put limitation on signage, or it can be approved with direction to staff to modify the sign ordinance because it has been improperly interpreted, or because this Commission feels that the Ordinance itself is incorrect and should be amended. Chair/Flamenbaum reiterated that the sign at 100 sq. feet would meet the code requirement except for the fact that the tenant's front door does not open to the outside wall. Chair/Grothe, as one of the members of the former and present Planning Commission, stated that the July 13, 1992 Page 4 than that of staff, in regards to the Sign Ordinance, and that a variance is not needed in this particular circumstance, and to direct staff to return to the Commission, in a timely manner, with a revised Sign Ordinance. CUP 89-528 AP/Searcy presented the staff report regarding two requests: a one year extension of time for the existing Conditional Use Permit 89-528 for the development and expansion of the existing Honda Dealership, construction of a car wash project, and a MacDonalds Restaurant; and for an amendment to the CUP 89-528 to allow a change from the MacDonalds Restaurant to the . Burger King Restaurant. AP/Searcy reviewed the components of the application for Extension of Time, as presented in the staff report. Staff recommended that the Commission approve the Extension of Time. The Public Hearing was declared opened. Russell Hand, the owner of Diamond Bar Honda and Tedrus Properties, reviewed the process for the approval of the CUP, and the problems involving L.A. County and the City of Industry regarding the sewer connection. He explained that MacDonalds backed out of their lease, but fortunately the Burger King franchise would like to come in and take MacDonalds place. He stated that so far he has put in a box culvert, at a cost of $280, 000, graded for the plans for the car wash and the MacDonalds, and put up retaining walls. He would like to pave, grade, and landscape the one lot that is vacant, and use it as employee parking for the time being. In response to C/Li, he stated that he has paid $140, 000 to bring a 16" main across the road, and he will have to pay an additional $80,000 for three fire hydrants. In response to C/Meyer, he stated that he did the culvert before the tract map. The sewer lin connection was for the approval of the CUP. The tract map has been recorded. The Public Hearing was declared closed. Motion was made by C/Meyer, seconded by VC/MacBride and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to approve the Extension of Time for the existing CUP. AP/Searcy reviewed the components of the application for the amendment of the CUP, as presented in the staff report. Staff has not had a chance to review the plans for the revised play ground recreation area because it was submitted late Friday. Staff has some concerns regarding the July 13, 1992 Page 3 original intent was that a building, with multiple stories, and with multiple tenants, would get one identification sign. He noted that, at that time, he had suggested that the scale size of the sign should increase as the stories go up. Ben Reiling pointed out that the issue boils_ down to determining where the front door is, the lobby or at the top of the elevator. To his interpretation, the front door is where mail is delivered, which is inside of the lobby. C/Meyer stated that a variance is not the proper tool to resolve this problem. His interpretation of the code is that they do have direct access out to a public street, which is substantiated by the Building Department's approval of the building. The problem would be resolved if the Planning Department took the same definition used by the Building Department. Since the sign meets the other criteria of the sign ordinance, it should be approved, and staff should come back with some modification of the sign ordinance that would make staff more comfortable in their interpretation. The interpretation of access needs to be expanded. CD/DeStefano, pointing out that if it is agreed that the elevator door is the same as the front door, then a variance for this particular sign may be needed, or the code changed, if the Commission is concerned with the total amount of signage on a building, because, as it is written, it allows for every tenant to have up to 100 sq. ft. of signage. Motion was made by Chair/Flamenbaum and seconded by C/Li to approve the variance with the Findings of Fact, and direct staff to redraft the sign ordinance. C/Grothe suggested that, instead of approving a variance, the Commission could find this building, and the signs on the building, to be inconformance with the approved planned sign program, the CC&R's. VC/MacBride, noting that this park is the leader of good taste and aesthetic approach to business in this community, stated that they should not have to request a variance on this matter. The motion and it's second were withdrawn. Motion was made by Chair/Flamenbaum, seconded by C/Meyer and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to find that the Planning Commission has a contrary interpretation July 13, 1992 Page 5 internal circulation of the project, the parking area, the location of the trash enclosure on site, and signage. It is recommended that the Commission direct the applicant to work with staff in redesigning the Burker King restaurant to improve the internal circulation and parking situation, and to bring the project back to the Commission at the appropriate time for the CUP and the Development Review. The Public Hearing was declared opened. C/Grothe indicated that a simple name change appears to be a minor modification that doesn't really need to come before the Commission. AP/Searcy explained that the City Council was explicit that any change in that user would have to require an amendment to the CUP. He further explained that the site plan and the site configuration has changed from the approved location of the MacDonald's restaurant. In response to VC/MacBride, AP/Searcy confirmed that the problems with the internal circulation arises from the change in the restaurant orientation. Staff also has concerns regarding the access for the drive -through, and its proximity to the exit at Brea Canyon, and concerns with the width and length of the driveway. However, it is not felt that these concerns are not insurmountable. Russell Hand noted that the Burger King franchisees and the architect are present to answer any questions. They have already redesigned the plans, following staff's suggestions. Chair/Flamenbaum stated that he would encourage that the addresses of the carwash and restaurant be Grand Ave. so that they are easily located. Charles Cobb, representing Card Investments, 2711 S. Diamond Bar Blvd., stated that they are anxious to move ahead with the project, and had hoped to get the CUP approval tonight because most of the issues seemed to be relatively minor. The building orientation was changed to conform better with the type of building because the interior layout, and the drive -through layout is different from MacDonalds restaurant. CD/DeStefano suggested that the Commission not approve the CUP without knowing the specific issues July 13, 1992 Page 6 in the Development Review. A more appropriate alternative would be to direct the staff and the applicant to work closely together to resolve all of these problems and bring back a complete package to the Commission. The Public Hearing was declared closed. Chair/Flamenbaum recessed the meeting at 8:30 p.m. to allow the Commission time to review the MacDonalds plans as compared to the presently proposed plans. The meeting was reconvened at 8:40 p.m. CD/DeStefano stated that, because of prior commitments and available manpower, staff will need 30 days to review the proposed changes. C/Grothe requested staff to bring, to the Commission's attention, any differences to the signage. C/Meyer requested that the following be explored: the increasing of landscaped areas, by reducing the amount of asphalt areas, which in turn could also be used for additional parking; minimizing reflectivity; and minimizing runoff. C/Grothe stated that there should be adequate pedestrian walkways provided between the facilities. Motion was made by C/Meyer, seconded by VC/MacBride and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to continue the public hearing to the August 10, 1992 meeting, with direction to staff to work with the applicant, and to include those issues previously indicated by the Commission. NEW BUSINESS: PT/Lungu presented the staff report regarding staffs analysis and interpretation of the County Analysis of of Los Angeles Planning and Zoning Code, adopted by distance between the City, and the interpretation of the Uniform accessory and Building Code pertaining to the distance between main bldg. accessory and main buildings. The staff report included information to assist the Commission in understanding how staff interprets the Planning and Building Code relative to the separation of a main structure and an accessory structure (i.e. pools). Staff interpretation follows the main office interpretation, which is a 6 foot setback. CD/DeStefano stated that staff is looking for a setback that is safe, and is recommending that July 13, 1992 Page 7 there be at least a 3 feet separation between the structure and the waterline for safety reasons. Staff is looking for direction from the Commission. C/Meyer explained that he had requested this item to be on the agenda because he does not see where the public interest is with respect to requiring a setback of a swimming pool to a structure. The definition of the Zoning Code needs clarification because the way it is written requires that all accessory structures, which could include such items as pools, air conditioners, dog houses, sheds, etc., be 6 feet from the main structure. He suggested that the code be so interpreted so that it does not apply to substructures, such as pools, and that it only applies to permanent structures. DCA/Curley suggested that the Commission direct staff to come up with an interpretation, matching the Commission's intent, using the language as it exists in the code. It could be brought back so that the Commission can adopt it as a policy. The Commission concurred to so direct staff. ANNOUNCEMENTS: C/Meyer commended staff on their job well done on putting together a Commission package, particularly with the General Plan still in process. ADJOURNMENT: Motion was made by VC/MacBride, seconded by C/Grothe and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to adjourn the meeting at 9:05 p.m. Respectively, /s/ James DeStefano James DeStefano Secretary Attest: /s/ Bruce Flamenbaum Bruce Flamenbaum Chairman 8299 a'F b2LUI&&M SR!!

ROLL CALL: Commissioners: Meyer, Grothe, Vice Chairman MacBride, and Chairman Flamenbaum. Commissioner Li was absent. Also present were Community Development Director James DeStefano, Associate Planner Robert Searcy, Planning Technician Ann Lungu, and Contract Secretary Liz Myers. CONSENT CALENDAR: Motion was made by C/Meyer, seconded by C/Grothe and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to accept the Consent Min. of July 13 Calendar, which included the Minutes of July 13, 1992, as presented, and the Extension of Time for CUP No. 89-528 CUP No. 89-528 - Resolution of Approval. PUBLIC HEARING: AP/Lunge presented the staff report. The applicant of the Administrative Development Review (ADR), ADR No. 92-07 Wayne Simonian, is requesting to construct a 2,679 (Appeal) square foot addition to an existing two story single family residence located at 22215 Steeplechase Lane, in The Country. A public hearing for ADR No. 92-7 was conducted on June 22, 1992, and approved by the Community Development Director. Kilpyung and Insook Auh, who were unable to attend the public hearing, have requested an appeal because the proposed addition will block their view. This project is consistent with he planning and zoning code, is compatible with the characteristics of the area, complies with the findings required of the Development Review Ordinance, and has the approval from the architectural committee of "The Country". Staff recommended that the Commission affirm the decision of the Community Development Director, deny the appeal, and approve ADR No. 92-7. In response to a series of Commission inquiries, AP/Lungu made the following comments: the panoramic view, in her opinion, will not be obstructed because the view from the Auh's property is toward the rear portion of the lot; she is not aware if "The Country's" architectural review committee takes into consideration view obstruction; and the proposed project does comply with the zoning requirements and the administrative development review ordinance. July 27, 1992 Page 2 Chair/Flamenbaum declared the public hearing opened. Mrs. Insook Auh, residing at 22225 Steeplechase Lane, applicant for the appeal, explained that the reason they had bought their home in "The Country" was for the view and the nice homes. Through the years, Mr. Simonian's trees have grown and now blocks practically the entire view. They are now concerned that the proposed project will restrict that view even more. She stated that they are also concerned that one of the balconies, which is to be built at the same level as their living room, is too close to their property. Chair/Flamenbaum asked Mrs. Auh what view specifically she feels the proposed project will obstruct. Mrs. Auh explained that they are concerned that the proposed project will block their view permanently. Mr. Kilpyung Auh, residing at 22225 Steeplechase Lane, reiterated the concern that the proposed project will further obstruct their view of the City lights. Also, the balcony is too close to their living room. Wayne Simonian, residing at 2053 Rusty Spur Road, stated that Mrs. Auh had indicated to him that it was not the view she was concerned about, but rather that the project was being built too close to her side property line, and that she also intended a major remodeling to her home in a few years. He pointed out that the project is only being built out six feet from the existing residence towards the rear of the property, as well as covering and extending the existing patio five feet from the home. In response to C/MeyerIs inquiries, he stated that the height of the balcony, is approximately the same height as the elevation of the Auh home. The balcony, associated with the bedroom, will be the same level as the Auh's driveway. Hearing no further testimony, Chair/Flamenbaum declared the public hearing closed. C/Meyer inquired if the zoning ordinance includes any requirements regulating the view, or does it just deal with setback requirements. CDD/DeStefano explained that the Administrative Development Review not only deals with setback July 27, 1992 Page 3 requirements, but also includes architectural compatibility, and project compatibility with the prevailing character of the neighborhood. However, there is nothing in the code that deals with "view", and there are no standards in place that would assist in guiding staff regarding view impairment. The Commission needs to determine whether of not view is an important factor in this project consideration. C/Meyer inquired if the Planning Commission or staff has ever been at odds with the findings of the architectural review committee of "The Country". CDD/DeStefano stated that all projects in "The Country" have met the City's code requirements. However, there have been disagreements, with the opinions of individual Planning Commissioners, regarding setback requirements size and bulk of the residential projects. C/Meyer stated that since neither view impairment, nor the issue of invasion of privacy, is within the purview of the Commission, and since the project complies with the setback requirements and architectural theme, then there is no substantial reason to object to the project. The Commission has no authority to impose personal judgement on a development proposal. CDD/DeStefano explained that because there is a development review process, but no standards to judge the project by, then it is in the collective "eye" of the commission to decide if the project is an appropriate addition to the neighborhood. This does create a problem because opinions of what is appropriate may differ from year to year, depending on the composition of the Commission. Resolving the issue of privacy or view, without any clear standards, required the independent judgment and collective wisdom of the Commission. VC/MacBride inquired about the type of arrangement the City has with the Diamond Bar Improvement Association (DBIA) to simultaneously review a project on matters of architecture and proposed improvements. He inquired if staff has done any investigation into "The Country's" CC&R's to determine if there is any consideration made as to view obstruction. CDD/DeStefano explained that the City notifies the DBIA of projects that require discretionary July 27, 1992 Page 4 approval before the Planning Commission. They receive copies of the agenda and are provided an opportunity to respond. Though there is a close relationship with the DBIA, the City does not enforce private CC&R's. Therefore, staff does not review the CC&R's, nor get involved in the process of examining or interpreting the CC&R's. Chair/Flamenbaum recessed the meeting at 7:55 p.m. to review the proposed plans to determine the extent that the view may be obstructed. The meeting was reconvened at 8:07 p.m. C/Grothe stated that since only a small portion of the Auh's view will be blocked, there is no real issue on blocking the view. He stated that the issue that he is most concerned with is the massing of the house coming towards the property line. However, it appears that the architectural design does have plenty of "breakups" on that side of the elevation, and the architectural style is carried around the building, therefore, he does not see this as an issue. VC/MacBride, noting that the City does not have any enforcement mechanism to preserve views, and though sympathetic with the importance of views, stated that he is in support with the findings of the Community Development Director because the proposed project complies with all of the requirements given to the Commission. Motion was made by C/Grothe, seconded by C/Meyer and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to approve staff's recommendation to affirm the decision of the Community Development Director, deny the appeal, and approve Administrative Development Review No. 92-7. NEW BUSINESS: CDD/DeStefano stated that on October 16, 1990, pursuant to the provisions of Government Code ZCA No. 92-02 Section 65858, the City Council adopted ordinance No. 14 (1990) establishing interim zoning regulations pertaining to development of hillside areas which exceed a slope of 10%. The Hillside Ordinance contains a variety of landform grading techniques that seek to ensure protection of the hillside areas, while permitting development. The Ordinance adopted in 1990 has been utilized by only two projects: the Piermarini Development and the JCC project located in the "The Country". Since the City has had limited experience in implementing the Hillside Management Ordinance, the City has engaged Mr. Horst Schor as a City consultant to July 27, 1992 Page 5 assist in revising the Hillside Management Ordinance. The most ineffective aspect of the Ordinance, for staff, has been the slope density formula. Staff has concluded that the slope density formula is not the most critical factor in determining what is appropriate for a hillside area in Diamond Bar. Therefore, it is recommended that the slope density formula be rewritten or eliminated, with some additional provisions put into the ordinance. Staff recommended that the Planning Commission review the attached Hillside Management Ordinance, discuss the issues, make appropriate changes, and adopt an ordinance at the next regular meeting. It may be appropriate to create a subcommittee of the Planning Commission to discuss the issue further. C/Grothe inquired of the reason to eliminate the slope density formula, since it is working for other cities. CDD/DeStefano stated that, because the City has had little experience in implementing the Ordinance, it is difficult to determine the areas that need improvement. One area that needs refinement is the discussion on contour grading because what the City really wants to utilize is land form grading. One of the reasons that staff has recommended eliminating the slope density formula is because it indicates that a hillside can't be develop simply because of it's extreme slope. It limits dwelling units but doesn't take into consideration clustering, or transferring of that density from one portion of the hill to another portion. Chair/Flamenbaum made the following comments: he didn't understand the definition of effective bulk; page 3, bullet 4., indicates that 25% and over can be developed, which is not consistent with the density reflected in the General Plan; he does not concur with the definition portion, page 4.C., which states "...or Be Developed Solely For Recreational Purposes"; he disagrees with the statement on page 4 which indicates that if land has a 0 to 14.9% slope, then 32.5% of it can't be developed; there should be some provision for sprinklers on slopes for fire protection, or as a fire suppressant; and page 19, item 3, should be reworded to indicate that proper drainage is required. C/Meyer suggested that staff focus on Ordinances from cities that have the visual quality that we July 27, 1992 Page 6 like. The provisions should make economic sense in it's practical application for development, and a site, such as Tres Hermanos, can be used to see if it is applicable. Furthermore, if the Ordinance is too explicit, there will be a lot of variances following. CDD/DeStefano stated that the Commission could compare the originally proposed Peirmarini project to the final project that was ultimately approved. The Planning Commission will be able to make modifications, through the process of individual project review. VC/MacBride made the following comments: page 6, item 2. Exemptions, should be rewritten; page 9, item 3, needs further clarification; and delete the second "where feasible" on page 22.B.1. C/Meyer and C/Grothe volunteered to be on the subcommittee to discuss this matter in more detail with staff. ZCA No. 92-03 CDD/DeStefano stated that in October of 1990, the City Council adopted an Interim ordinance No. 15 (1990), amending the list of permitted and conditionally permitted uses within the CM zone. The City Council adopted the Interim Ordinance in order to provide the necessary study time to review the most advantageous and appropriate land uses for the CM zone and as a mechanism to grant additional land use controls for the period preceding the General Plan. The Interim Ordinance effectively removed many non -revenue producing land uses (with the exception of accessory uses) from the CM zone. Staff recommends that the Commission review the attached Interim Ordinance, discuss the issues, and suggest changes pertaining to Quasi Public Uses in the CM zone, at the next regular Planning Commission meeting. C/Grothe stated that he was under the impression that an Ordinance is now unnecessary, with the adoption of the General Plan. CDD/DeStefano explained that an amended ordinance needs to remain in effect until the Development Code is completed. He suggested that the Planning Commission form a subcommittee to further review the ordinance with staff. C/Meyer and C/Grothe volunteered to be on the subcommittee. July 27, 1992 Page 7 ANNOUNCEMENTS: CDD/DeStefano reminded the Commission of the Piermarini open house to be held July 30, 1992.

RECOMMENDATION The Traffic and Transportation Commission recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. 92-XX approving the installation of a "One Way" sign on Diamond Bar Boulevard and painting the northerly curb red on Fountain Springs Road between Diamond Bar Boulevard and Rising Star Drive for approximately 50 feet. FINANCIAL SUMMARY The installation will be funded by the traffic control signs maintenance account. BACKGROUND The Traffic and Transportation Commission investigated whether there is a visibility restriction at the intersection of Diamond Bar Boulevard and Fountain Springs Road. The suggested visibility restriction was considered to be the result of street parking and an existing block wall at said intersection. DISCUSSION In order to determine the proper mitigation measure to minimize visibility restriction at the intersection of Diamond Bar Boulevard and Fountain Springs Road, the Traffic and Transportation Commission recommended that the northerly curb on Fountain Springs Road be painted red for approximately 50 feet. This recommendation is designed to encourage the parked vehicles further west on Fountain Springs Road, thus, allowing southbound Diamond Bar Boulevard motorists to make a safe and appropriate right turns. In addition to the above, the Commission recommended to the Council the installation of a "One Way" sign in the median island on Diamond Bar Boulevard, in front of the driveway of the shopping center located at the southwest corner of Diamond Bar Boulevard and Fountain Springs Road. The intent of said sign is to inform the shopping center customers of the southbound direction of Diamond Bar Boulevard vehicle movement.

(iv) The Traffic and Transportation Commission recommends the installation of the above. B. RESOLUTION. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: 1. Pursuant to Section 15.20.030 of the Los Angeles County Code, as heretofore adopted, by reference by the City Council, provides for the installation of a "One Way" sign in the median island on Diamond Bar Boulevard at Fountain Springs Road, and painting of the northerly curb of Fountain Springs Road red for approximately 50 feet, upon approval of the City Council. The City Council hereby finds that the public health, safety, and welfare will be best protected by installing the "One Way" sign on Diamond Bar Boulevard and painting the northerly curb of Fountain Springs Road red. 2.

The City Council of the City of Diamond Bar hereby authorize and direct the Acting City Manager to cause sign and curb painting to be installed. PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this day of 1992. MAYOR I, LYNDA BURGESS, City Clerk of the City of Diamond Bar do hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was passed, adopted and approved at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar held on the day of the Following vote: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: ABSTAINED: COUNCIL MEMBERS: , 1992 by ATTEST• City Clerk, City of Diamond Bar July 9, 1992 page 4 yet determined where the exact location of the sound wall might be placed. C/Beke suggested that staff contact Dick Hoff for a rapid verification of where the right of way ends. He noted that, since sound travels the line of sight, the soundwall may not be effective because of the steep grade of Grand Avenue. He requested staff to research the number of accidents that have occurred in the area. Nina Goncharov indicated that they are willing to accept recommendations on alternatives to the sound wall. She also noted that the election signs have never been removed from Grand Ave. in back of her property. Chair/Chavers suggested that Mrs. Contrero contact Al Flores, the Code Enforcement officer, to remove those signs. He made the following requests of staff regarding the soundwall issue: examine the criteria to determine if the accident rate necessitates a need for a barrier; obtain Caltrans guidelines as to when a soundwall is necessary, and it's effectiveness; determine if a combination solution is required to mitigate the debris problem such as a guard rail, a grouping of trees, and/or a short fence behind the trees; and investigate if there are funds available for some of the suggested mitigation measures. C/Beke stated that he will obtain an estimate on the cost of a guardrail. Motion was made by C/Beke, seconded by C/Ury and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to continue the item to the next meeting, to include the accident report data, advisement on the ownership of the right of way property, as well as information on the availability of funds for Grand Avenue. AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Ury, Beke, Cheng, VC/Gravdahl, and Chair/Chavers. NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None. ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: None. OLD BUSINESS: AE/Liu presented the staff. report regarding the request to investigate the intersection of Diamond Intersection Bar Blvd. and Fountain Springs Road. It is of Diamond Bar recommended that the Commission concur with staff s Blvd./Ft. Sprinqsrecommendation to consider painting the northerly curb red, on Fountain Springs Road, for approximately 50 feet, and to install a "One Way" sign in the median island on Diamond Bar Blvd., in July 9, 1992 Page 5 front of the driveway of the shopping complex located at the southwest corner of Diamond Bar Blvd. and Fountain Springs Road. ICE/Wentz indicated that staff will be meeting with Mr. Long, the property owner of 2640 Rising Star Drive, to discuss options on adjustments, to that wall, that may be feasible, and to present any costs that may be there. Dr. Pam Anderson, residing at 2628 Rising Star, stated her concern that the intersection of Fountain Springs and Diamond Bar Blvd. is becoming more dangerous, and that more protection for the residents are needed. -She suggested that the increase in traffic could be a result from the addition of the new office development located on the corner, and the Krikorian theater. She further noted that in order to obtain appropriate visibility of upcoming traffic on Diamond Bar Blvd., a motorist must pull ten feet beyond the stop sign, which is located flush with the curb on Fountain Springs, thereby blocking the existing bike lane. Ken Anderson, residing at 2628 Rising Star, made the following comments: to obtain visibility, the limit line on the stop sign must be exceeded; there is a lot of traffic from the median of the Boulevard to Crooked Creek; since the parking on the intersection has caused several of the accidents, the curb should be painted red beyond staff's recommendation, 100 feet on the northside of the curb and 50 feet on the southside of the curb; a "Do Not Block Intersection" may be needed; a marked crosswalk may be appropriate; and a traffic study should be conducted to determine if a traffic light is needed. C/Beke explained that the crosswalk is not marked for safety reasons. He suggested the following options: put in a right turn only lane for southbound Diamond Bar Blvd. and extend the limit line another 10 feet; or make Fountain Springs a right only out. The Commission then discussed the possible affect the Shadow Canyon street light may have on the Fountain Springs/Diamond Bar Blvd. intersection. C/Beke suggested that staff's recommendation be accepted, with the request that staff investigate the right turn only in from south bound Diamond Bar July 9, 1992 Page 6 Boulevard to Fountain Springs as a way to bring the limit line out. ICE/Wentz stated that staff will investigate this design alternative. He pointed out that redesigning the existing wall will improve visibility considerably. In response to Chair/Chavers, he stated that staff has not yet spoken to the office building owner about restricting parking.along his frontage on Fountain Springs. Staff has not observed many vehicles parked in that area. Chair/Chavers requested staff to research the appropriateness of a "No Parking" situation. Motion was made by C/Beke, seconded by Chair/Chavers and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to accept staffs recommendation as presented, and to request staff to investigate extending the red curb as discussed by Mr. Anderson, and to investigate the potential of a right turn only lane as a means of pushing the limit line out into Diamond Bar Blvd., to be brought back to the Commission on the August 13, 1992 meeting. AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Ury, Beke, Cheng, VC/Gravdahl, and Chair/Chavers. NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None. ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: None.

Motion was made VC/Gravdahl, and seconded by C/Ury to hold the decision of the name change until it is determined if the Brea Canyon Cut-off/Fairway Drive area is annexed. Chair/Chavers stated that it does not make sense to extend the name change to Lemon at this time since it would have to be changed again if we annex to Fairway. C/Ury suggested that a more logical location for the name change would be Brea Canyon and Golden Springs/Colima, or move down to the next major intersection. He questioned why the Council desires the name change. C/Beke indicated that, though it is unusual, it is not unprecedented to change the name in the middle of a block. The Council may desire the name change simply because Golden Springs sounds more like Diamond Bar, and sounds more prestigious. He would support the name change at the Golf Course, and would not want to hold.off until some annexation that may never happen. C/Cheng noted that Colima is a better known name generally than Golden Springs. The Commission voted upon VC/Gravdahl's Motion to consider the name change at a later date.

Copley Drive, Ste.100 Diamond Bar, CA 91765 Dear Mayor Kim: Our nation's teachers can Only succeed in their effort to encourage students to develop positive attitudes toward reading when their message is echoed by family, government and business. It is with this knowledge that we invite America's mayors to join with their local teachers in observing this year's BOOK IT!® Day. The BOOK IT! National Reading Incentive Program, sponsored by Pizza Hut, was established in 1985 to provide teachers with a motivational tool that could help students read more. The free program is currently used by more than 680,000 teachers and enrolls 17 million children in 45,000 elementary schools. In 1990, BOOK IT! and the Library of Congress worked successfully with hundreds of mayors to organize local celebrations of National Young Reader's Day. Now, in association with The United States Conference of Mayors, we invite you to proclaim October 1, 1992, "BOOK IT! Day." This date corresponds with the opening day of this year's program, when local BOOK IT! teachers again set out to motivate children to read. We have prepared suggested wording for the proclamation, which deals with BOOK IT! Day and the fact that 1992's literacy theme is "Explore New Worlds -- READ!" as designated by the Library of Congress. Please review this enclosed draft. Should you authorize this participation, we request that you please return the enclosed response form by May 1 and the actual proclamation by September 15. We thank you for your consideration.

Tarango Building Official CITY COUNCIL REPORT AGENDA NO. MEETING DATE: August 4, 1992 TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Terrance L. Belanger, Acting City Manager SUBJECT: Adoption of the Uniform Building and Construction Codes for the City of Diamond Bar ISSUE STATEMENT: The State of California reviews its Model Building Code regulations every three years, and adopts the most current Uniform Building Codes printed by the International Conference of Building Officials. The State of California adopted the 1991 Building Code, 1991 Plumbing Code, 1991 Uniform Housing Code, and 1991 Mechanical Code in late January, 1991. Local jurisdictions are required to adopt said codes by ordinance or they will automatically be adopted. The State allows local municipalities to amend the Uniform Building Codes to meet the unique climatic, geographical, and topographical conditions of the City. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council set for hearing and adoption, by reference, of the "Uniform Administrative Code", 1991 edition, the "Uniform Building Code", 1991 edition including all appendices thereto and the "Uniform Building Code Standards", 1991 edition, the "Uniform Mechanical Code", 1991 edition, the "Uniform Plumbing Code", 1991 edition, the "National Electrical Code", 1990 edition, the "Uniform Housing Code", 1991 edition, the "Uniform Swimming Pool, Spa and Hot Tub Code", 1991 edition together with certain amendments, deletions and exceptions, including fees and penalties. BACKGROUND: In July of 1990, the City adopted the 1988 Uniform Model Code as amended by Los Angeles County. Since then the International Conference of Building Officials has reviewed the model codes, changed and omitted portions of said codes. These changes and omissions are enclosed in the 1991 edition of above referenced codes. In January of this year the State of California adopted the 1991 codes which allow local cities by Law 180 days to follow suit. This year local Cities have until August 14, 1992 to adopt the 1991 Uniform Codes. DISCUSSION: The State of California reviews its Model Building Code regulations every three years, and adopts the most current Uniform Building Codes printed by the International Conference of Building Officials. The State of California adopted the 1991 Building Code, 1991 Plumbing Code, 1991 Uniform Housing Code, and 1991 Mechanical Code in late January, 1992. Local jurisdictions are required to adopt said codes by ordinance or they will automatically be adopted. The State allows local municipalities to amend the Uniform Building Codes to meet the unique climatic, geographical, and topographical conditions of the city. 1 The attached proposed ordinance repeals Title 26 (Building Code), Title 27 (Electrical Code), Title 28 (Plumbing Code), and Title 29 (Mechanical Code) of the Los Angeles County Code, and adds a new Title 15 to the Diamond Bar City Code. The Title 15 codifies all Uniform Construction Codes into one chapter. The reason for establishing the proposed Title 15 is that the current Los Angeles County Uniform Building Codes do not meet the higher quality construction methods used in the City of Diamond Bar. The proposed ordinance introduces the Uniform Administrative Code, 1991 Edition, which will aid the Building Official in administrative, organizational and enforcement rules and regulations for the technical codes which regulate the site preparation and construction, alteration, moving, demolition, repair, use and occupancy of buildings, structures and building service equipment within the City of Diamond Bar. Also introduced by this ordinance is the Uniform Housing Code, 1991 Edition. This code establishes minimum requirements for housing standards, thus enhancing the quality of living in the City of Diamond Bar. It gives the City authority to address the maintenance of residential housing as relates to required exiting, minimum light and ventilation, sanitation facilities, electrical wiring, and weather protection. Within the Code there is provision for abatement of substandard housing. Highlighted within this ordinance is the addition to the plumbing code which requires all new structures, to be equipped with an additional main for future use of reclaimed water for landscape irrigation systems. The department has reviewed the Model "Grey Water" Ordinance adopted by the County of Los Angeles in July of 1991 and has discussed the impacts of said Ordinance with both the Los Angeles Health Department and Los Angeles Building & Safety Department. The Health Department has expressed some concerns regarding the ordinance for the simple reason that complaints have been filed by neighboring property owners complaining about grass drying and smell. The Health Department has concluded that toxic soap and raw sewage from clothes washer and or bathtubs have drained into the grey water system, damaging the neighbors grass and plants. With the above information, it is the department's recommendation that the City of Diamond Bar does not approve any Grey Water Ordinance. The Building Department has discussed the high rise package (Section 1807 Special Provisions) with the Fire Department and concluded that the County equipment (ladders) can meet the 75 foot height limitation mandated by Section 1807 of the 1991 Uniform Building Code. The Department recommends that no modification to this section is required. The following amended sections reflect the significant changes to the Model Building Codes. 15.10.030 Section 202(c) is amended to give the Building Official "Right of Entry" when in possession of a warrant. 15.10.050 Section 204(a) and (b) establishing the City Council to act as a Board of Appeals in making a final determination of any appeal filed against the Building Official's code interpretations or alternate materials. 15.10.060 Section 301(a) has been amended to allow the Building Department to require permits for all demolitions, thus mandating the Department's review of all demolition sites for maintenance and safety conditions (e.g. pedestrian protection). 15.10.070 Section 301(b)(1)(A) is amended to further define storage sheds, tool sheds, and similar accessory buildings. After reviewing the code enforcement files it has come to our attention that the so-called tool sheds and playhouses are equipped with elaborate electrical and plumbing systems which may be used for housing people. This amendment requires a permit for such a structure. 15.10.120 Section 303(d) has been amended to reduce the demolition permit duration from 180 days to 45 days. This amendment will allow the Building Department to review the building sites more frequently, thus expediting the demolition phase of projects and reducing the possible eyesores related to demolition projects. 15.14.030 Section 2907(j) is added to establish minimum design criteria for all foundation work in expansive soil conditions. Throughout the City of Diamond Bar expansive soil (adobe) exists, which mandates a soils report for any foundation work. By adopting this amendment, the costly soils report can be omitted from the typical room addition plans. 15.14.040 Section 3203 is amended to require a Class "C" roof material for all new buildings and existing buildings throughout the City of Diamond Bar when twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the roofed area is reroofed within a one year period. The class "C" rated roof is effective against light fires and may consist of wood shakes, which have been treated with fire retardant materials. 15.14.060 Section 7001.5 (Appendix) is added to transfer the power and duties usually exercised by the Building Official on all items dealing with excavation and grading to the City Engineer. This amendment is proposed due to the complexity of the submitted grading plans, due to the diverse topography in the City of Diamond Bar. Dealing with this type of challenge requires the expertise of an civil engineer who is accustomed in addressing these projects, and this amendment would address this need. 15.26.040 Article 336-3 (a) Uses Permitted. 336-3 (a) Type NM. Type NM cable shall be permitted for b=th _ pesed concealed work in normally dry locations. It shall be permissible to install or fish Type NM cable in air voids in masonry block or tile walls where such walls are not exposed or subject to excessive moisture or dampness. Amended to read: 336-3 (a) Type NM. Type NM cable shall be permitted for concealed work in normally dry locations. It shall be permissible to install or fish Type NM cable in air voids in masonry block or tile walls where such walls are not exposed or subject to excessive moisture or dampness. �3 336-3 (b) Type NMC. Type NMC cable shall be permitted: (1) for bath expesed--aid concealed work in dry, moist, damp, or corrosive locations; (2) in outside and inside walls of masonry block or tile; (3) in a shallow chase in masonry, concrete, or adobe protected against nails or screws by a steel plate at least 1/16 inch (1.59 mm) thick and covered with plaster, adobe, or similar finish. Amended to read: 336-3 (b) Type NMC. Type NMC cable shall be permitted: (1) for concealed work in dry, moist, damp, or corrosive locations; (2) in outside and inside walls of masonry block or tile; (3) in a shallow chase in masonry, concrete, or adobe protected against nails or screws by a steel plate at least 1/ 16 inch (1.59 mm) thick and covered with plaster, adobe, or similar finish. These changes will help eliminate damage to nonmetallic cable in locations subject to damage due to weather, ultra -violet light, or personal use (i.e. garages, attics, under exterior soffits, under open -roofed patios). 15.26.050 336-4. Uses not Permitted. 336-4 (a) Type NM or NMC. Types NM and NMC cables shall not be used: (1) in any dwelling or structure exceeding three floors above grade: (2) as service -entrance cable; (3) in commercial garages having hazardous (classified) locations as provided in Section 511-3; (4) in theaters an t (5)- in--mien—pieture— studies; —(6)in—sterag , helst-ways;--(8) e*_Z_ed_de - n peared eement, eenerete, er aggregatel Article 336-4 (a) Amended to read: 336-4 (a) Type NM or NMC. Types NM and NMC cables shall not be used: (1) in any dwelling or structure exceeding three floors above grade; (2) as service - entrance cable; (3) in commercial and industrial buildings. For the purpose of this article, the first floor of a building shall be that floor that has fifty percent or more of the exterior wall surface area level with or above finished grade. One additional level that is the first level and not designed for human habitation and used only for vehicle parking, storage, or similar use shall be permitted. Currently, the Building Department is encountering many cases of damage to nonmetallic -sheathed cable during inspections of commercial tenant improvements. Most of said damage is due to the use of steel studs, which is mandated by the building code. The original article contained many exceptions to commercial use already, however this change will broaden the safety net to include office type uses. 15.26.060 Table 300-5. Minimum Cover Requirements, 0 to 600 Volts, Nominal, Burial in Inches (Cover is defined as the shortest distance measured between a point on the top surface of any direct buried conductor, cable, conduit or other raceway and the top surface of finished grade, concrete, or similar cover.) See attached for existing Table 300-5. 4 Table 300-5 amended to read: All conductors, cables, conduits, or other raceways used for one -and two- family dwelling driveways and parking areas, and used for no other purpose, shall be buried no less than 24 inches below finished grade. Due to the expansive -type soil throughout Diamond Bar, it is necessary to add the additional six inches burial of the Electrical wiring under one- and two- family dwelling driveways and parking areas. A copy of the proposed amended Codes have been provided to the Building Industry Association (B.I.A.) for their review and comment. A response from the Building Industry Association (B.I.A.) was received, informing the Building Department that the proposed amendments to the Uniform Model Codes were minor in nature and would not have a negative impact on the building industry. The Fire Department has received and reviewed the proposed Uniform Building Code amendments and has determined that the amendments will not negatively impact the Fire Codes.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR MAKING EXPRESS FINDINGS AND DETERMINATIONS THAT MODIFICATIONS TO THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE, UNIFORM PLUMBING CODE, AND NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, AS ADOPTED BY ORDINANCE NO.3 ( I AN ARE REASONABLY NECESSARY BECAUSE OF LOCAL CLIMATIC, GEOLOGICAL OR TOPOGRAPHICAL CONDITIONS. A. Recitals. (i) California Health and Safety Code Section 17922 requires all cities to adopt, as the City Building Standards Code, the State Building Standards Code adopted pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 4 of Part 2.5 of Division 13 of the California Health and Safety Code. (ii) Section 17958.5 of the California Health and Safety Code provides, in pertinent part, as follows: "... a city or county may make such changes or modifications in the requirements contained in the provisions published in the State Building Standards Code and the other regulations adopted pursuant to Section 17922 as it determines, pursuant to the provisions of Section 17958.7, are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions.,, (iii) Prior to making the modification permitted under Section 17958.5 of the California Health and Safety Code, this Council is required to make an express finding that such modifications or changes are reasonably necessary. 2907 (iv) This Council desires to amend the provisions of sections (j), 3203, 3204, Table No. 32A, and Section 3802(b)5 of the "Uniform Building Code", 1991 Edition. (v) This Council desires to amend the provisions of Section 323 of the "Uniform Plumbing Code", 1991 Edition. (vi) This Council desires to amend the provisions of Section 110-14, 336-3, Section 336-4 and Table No. 3005 of the "National Electrical Code", 1990 Edition. (vii) All legal prerequisites to the adoption Resolution have occurred. of this 1 B. Resolution. follows: NOW, THEREFORE, be it found, determined and resolved as 1. In all respects as set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution. 2. This Council does hereby expressly find and determine that the amendments set forth in Ordinance No. 3 (1992) Amending Section 2907(j) of the "Uniform Building Code", 1991 Edition, are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographic conditions. This express finding is supported and based upon the following more specific findings and determinations: a. The hillsides in Diamond Bar are composed of Puente Formation, and similar weak geological materials, while neighboring flatland areas are composed of more stable fill and alluvial materials. These materials may be naturally unstable or weak in terms of physical support. These highly expansive soil conditions are vulnerable to earth movement. b. The City of Diamond Bar experiences diverse temperatures, which promotes expansion and contraction of the soil. This condition is very damaging to expansive type soil. c. Because of the above -described climatic and geological conditions, the City of Diamond Bar requires special engineering to support habitable structures within the unstable soil areas. This will decrease possible damage due to natural earth expansion and seismic activity. 3, This Council does hereby expressly find and determine that the amendments set forth in Ordinance No. 3 (1992) Amending Sections 3203, 3204, and Table No. 32A of the "Uniform Building Code", 1991 Edition, are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological topographic conditions. This express finding is supported or and based upon the following more specific findings and determinations: a. Located throughout the City of Diamond Bar, as well as in the surrounding cities, are numerous concentrations of structures which have roofs constructed of thinly cut pieces of wood, otherwise known as untreated shakes, as well as untreated wood shingles. These untreated wood shakes and shingles are extremely combustible in nature. b. The City of Diamond Bar, as well as the surrounding cities, is located in an area climatically classified as "arid" and Prone to winds of high velocity. Moreover, due to the arid nature of the area, the weather during the windy periods tends to be very warm and dry. The dry weather conditions are very hazardous to the surrounding undeveloped hillsides and wildlands which neighbor highly populated areas. 2 C. Because of the above -described climatic and meteorological conditions, the City of Diamond Bar and the surrounding cities have historically suffered from occasional structural and brush fires. These have often been difficult to control due to the high velocity, dry winds carrying sparks and cinders to surrounding structures with roofs constructed as described in paragraph 3.a. above. 4. This Council does hereby expressly find and determine that the amendments set forth in Ordinance No. 3 (1992) amending Sections 3802(b)5 of the "Uniform Building Code", 1991 edition, are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographic conditions. This express finding is supported and based upon the following more specific findings and determinations: a. The City of Diamond Bar is active area located in a seismically and is in close proximity to earthquake fault zones (Whittier fault, just south of Tonner Canyon; Chino fault passes within a mile of the cityyIs eastern boundary), and it is reasonably foreseeable that an earthquake would render the City of Diamond Bar particularly vulnerable to devastation. Further, the City of Diamond Bar is bisected by major freeways, located primarily in a north -south direction. Substantial number of flood control facilities additionally exist, as well as freeway overpasses and major railroad right-of-ways. b. Because of the above -described geological conditions within the city, and the substantial amount of freeway, railroad, and flood control facilities throughout the community, the City of Diamond Bar, in the event of an earthquake, may be unable to dispatch an adequate number of fire personnel and apparatus to suppress fires and conduct rescue operations. Moreover, the conditions within Diamond Bar likewise occur in surrounding communities, hereby rendering mutual aid assistance problematic, at best. C. Furthermore, as found in paragraph 2.b. of the above Resolution, climatic conditions within the community render it extremely likely that, in the event of seasonal high winds and earthquake occurring, the County Fire Department would be unable to suppress numerous fires occurring throughout the community. Installation of sprinkler systems in buildings above three stories in height will enable suppression activities to be directed to those areas which are unprotected in the event of earthquake activity. 5. This Council does hereby expressly find and determine that the amendments set forth in Ordinance No. 3 (1992), amending Section 323, of the "Uniform plumbing Code", 1991 Edition, are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions. This express finding is supported and based upon the following more specific findings and determinations: 3 a. The City of Diamond Bar is suffering through its fifth year of drought conditions, along with the entire state of California. Its water provider, the Metropolitan Water District, has restricted local water supplies by 25 percent through the imposition of surcharges on water supplied in excess of these levels. As water supplies are restricted further and the price of water rises, the City of Diamond Bar will find it difficult to maintain hillside erosion control and the general quality of life in our community will suffer. b. Because of the above -described climatic condition affecting the City of Diamond Bar, the need for alternative methods of providing landscape irrigation is enormous. The use of reclaimed water will help to meet this demand, now and in the future. 6. This Council does hereby expressly find and determine that the amendments set forth in Ordinance No. 3 (1992), amending Sections 110-14, 336-3, 336-4 and Table No. 300.5 of the "National Electrical Code", 1990 Edition, are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, supportedl and baseor d ruponcal thefollowing conditions. mo This express finding is determinations: g re specific findings and a. As found in paragraph 4.b., the City of Diamond Bar is located in a seismically active area and is in close proximity to earthquake fault zones (Whittier fault Chino fault passes within a mile of the c ty's eastern boundarjust south of Tonner y), it is reasonablyforeseeable that an earth r'Y), and Diamond Bar quake would render the City of Particularly vulnerable to devastation. Further, the City of Diamond Bar is bisected by major freeways, located primarily in a north -south direction. Substantial number of flood control facilities additionally exist, as well as freeway overpasses and major railroad right-of-ways. b. Because of the above -described geological conditions within the city, and the substantial amount of freeway, railroad, and flood control facilities throughout the community, the City of Diamond Bar, in the event of an earthquake, may be unable to dispatch an inadequate number of fire personnel and apparatus fires an conduct rescue operations. Moreover, the conditions withinsDiamond Bar likewise occur in surrounding communities, hereby rendering mutual aid assistance problematic, at best. C. Furthermore, as found in paragraph, 2.b., of this Resolution, climatic conditions within the community render it extremely likely that in the event of seasonal high winds and earthquake occurring, the County Fire Department would be unable to suppress numerous fires occurring throughout the community. Therefore protection of electrical wiring is essential in the above described events and this protection is magnified in high occupancy buildings. 4 ADOPTED AND APPROVED this Mayor day of 1992.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY The City of Diamond Bar is anticipated to expend $55,000 for crossing guard services during the 1992-93 school year, an amount expended during the 1991- 92 school year. BACKGROUND Adult crossing guards are responsible for assisting elementary school pedestrians cross public streets safely and appropriately during school. The presence of crossing guards is intended to minimize potential accidents which involve elementary school pedestrians. Properly trained in their procedures, regulation, rules, and safety measures, crossing guards become responsible for the safe crossing passage of children from one street to another.

The nine intersections which were served by twelve (12) crossing guards are as follows: 1. Golden Springs Drive/Sunset Crossing Road 2. Ballena Drive/Meadow Falls Drive 3. Harmony Hill Drive/Evergreen Springs Drive 4. Blenbury Drive/Maple Hill Road 5. Pathfinder Road/Evergreen Springs Drive 6. Quail Summit Drive/Winterwood Lane 7. Cold Spring Lane/Brea Canyon Road 8. Castle Rock Road/Cold Spring Lane 9. Colima Road/Lemon Avenue Page Two Crossing Quard services: 1992-93 September 1, 1992 Each intersection was supervised and a monthly report was submitted to the City on a monthly basis. During the period this firm provided services, the City did not receive complaints from schools, parents or residences which related to the services provided. Crossing guard services were provided at an hourly billing rate of $9.45 during the 1991-92 school year as well. The City requested qualifications to provide professional crossing guard services from three qualified firms. They are All City Management Services, Inc., Securicorp/Masterguard International, Inc., and Jobs Plus. Proposals were received from two firms and were opened on August 10, 1992.

The City will be providing crossing guard services to the same nine street intersections with twelve (12) crossing guards during the 1992-93 school year, including summer sessions. It is requested that the awarded firm meet with all schools as well as City staff on a monthly basis to assess and discuss existing and potential problems that might occur.

SUMMARY: The Parks and Recreation Commission has been approached by different community members and organizations who have expressed an interest in becoming involved in the upkeep and further beautification of city parks. These requests range from trail upkeep in Sycamore Canyon Park to tree planting in Peterson Park to painting picnic tables at Heritage Park. In response to these requests the Commission has developed an Adopt -A -Park Program which is designed to formally involve the community in the care and maintenance of city parks. This program is expected to have a limited fiscal impact on the city (less than $100 the first year), as maintenance materials required to complete routine projects are already included in the 1992/93 adopted City budget. This program may also provide for additional benefits to the city in the form of donations and in -kind support. RECOMMENDATION: It is the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Commission that the City Council approve the implementation of the Adopt -A -Park Program.

MEETING DATE: September 1, 1992 TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: James DeStefano, Director of Community Development SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution No. requesting an extension of time for the suspended General Plan. ISSUE STATEMENT: The General Plan was adopted by City Council on July 14, 1992 at a public hearing. Due to a petition circulated throughout the City, the adopted General Plan has been suspended. An extension of time from the Office of Planning and Research will allow the City to continue processing development projects and issue permits during the suspension of the General Plan. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended the City Council approve Resolution 92-XX and direct staff to forward an application for an extension of time to the Office of Planning and Research. FINANCIAL SUMMARY: N/A BACKGROUND: The City began its preparation of the General Plan in the fall of 1989 when the City Council appointed, from the community, a 30 member General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC), and employed the services of a consultant - Planning Network to prepare the City's first General Plan. Approximately 20 public meetings were held where components of the draft General Plan were presented, discussed, and forwarded to the Planning Commission. The Commission began a series of study sessions regarding the forthcoming General Plan in July of 1991 and began its public hearings on September 9, 1991. In September of 1991, the City applied to the Office of Planning and Research for an extension of time. An extension of time was granted in February 7, 1992 and ended August 5, 1992 or upon adoption of the General Plan, whichever occurs first. After extensive review and considerable public input into the General Plan adoption process, the City Council adopted a resolution certifying the Environmental Impact Report and approving the City's first General Plan on July 14, 1992. DISCUSSION: Subsequent to adoption of the General Plan, a petition for a referendum was circulated throughout the community seeking to repeal the General Plan pursuant to Section 4051 of the Election Code. Section 4051 states as follows: petition signed by 10 percent of voters If a petition protesting against the adoption of an ordinance and circulated by any qualified registered voter of the city, is submitted to the clerk of the legislative body of the city in his or her office during normal office hours as posted within 30 days of the adoption of the ordinance, and is signed by not less than 10 percent of the voters of the city according to the county clerk's last official report of registration to the Secretary of State, or, in a city with 1,000 or less registered voters, is signed by not less than 25 percent of the voters or 100 voters of the city whichever is the lesser, the effective date of the ordinance shall be suspended, and the legislative body shall reconsider the ordinance. The petition is required to have 2,480 signatures of registered voters living within the City of Diamond Bar. The petition was presented to the City Clerk at 10 a.m. on August 10, 1992 containing 4,338 signatures. At this point in time, the City Clerk began the preliminary evaluation of the signatured to eliminate any name that was deemed inappropriate. The City Clerk finished the preliminary review on August 19, 1992 and forwarded the petition to the Los Angeles County Registrar of Voters office for review. The Los Angeles County Registrar of Voters office has 30 days from receipt of the petition to verify the signatures and certify the petition. As of the date of this staff report, the City is waiting for the results. After the preliminary review and acceptance of the petition by the City Clerk, the effects of the General Plan were suspended pursuant to Election Code 4051. This suspension has resulted in the loss of all land use authority until the General Plan is reinstated or another general plan is adopted. The City has been directed by legal counsel to put a hold on most development review projects and the issuance of permits unless for health and safety reasons, until the Los Angles County Registrar of Voters office completes their examination of the petition documents. As a result of the suspension of the General Plan, the City, pursuant to Government Code Section 65361, requests an extension of time from the Office of Planning and Research (OPR). If the extension is granted during or after the referendum process, the City would then be allowed, by state law, to process development projects and issue permits as would normally be appropriate. California Government Code Section 65361 authorizes the Director of the Office of Planning and Research to grant the General Plan extensions to cities and counties. While under an extension, a local government is exempt from the requirement that it adopt a complete and legally adequate General Plan or that the adoption be within the specified 30 month time period. The extension waives State Laws which require consistency between local land use decisions and the General Plan. This allows the city to continue acting on zoning, subdivision, and related matters. For all land use decision, the City must still find that a reasonable probability exists that the proposed land use approval will be consistent with the General Plan under consideration or that no probability exists LnaL tna prvpvoad 1-1 Ude ""AR will pose a substantial threat to the Future General Plan. OPR's Director may grant an extension of up to one year in duration. OPR's Director may also impose any conditions on as extension of time that the Director deems necessary to insure compliance with the purpose and intent of the Government Code. Application requirements for a General Plan Extension must include five basic items: 1. General Plan Application Extension Form. 2. A Resolution from the City Council approving the application for extension. 3. A schedule and budget for preparation and adoption of the remaining tasks to complete the General Plan. 4. Any procedures that would insure that Land Use decisions made during the extension will not interfere with the General Plan proposal. 5. Copies of the existing Draft General Plan document, zoning ordinance, an any interim ordinances. State law requires that the City Council conduct a public hearing and adopt a Resolution making any one of six findings required by Government Code Section 65361. Staff believes that the City is able to justify several of the required findings. 1. Data required for the General Plan is awaiting comments from other governmental agencies which has not yet been provided (i.e. comments from the State Office of Housing and community Development on the Housing Element and comments from affected agencies on the Environmental Impact Report). 2. Timely preparation and adoption of the General Plan has been hampered by personnel changes within the consultant firm and project managers assigned to the specific task. 3. An extended public review period has been requested and a public participation program is proposed to promote awareness and involvement in order to assure the decision makers that the Plan is reflective of the needs and desires of the citizens. 4. The creation of series of economic development strategy sessions to solicit input in order to help guide the proposed policies contained within various elements of the General Plan. 5. The city or county is jointly preparing all or part of the General Plan with one or more other jurisdictions pursuant to an existing agreement and timetable for completion. 6. Other reasons exist that justify the granting of and extension, so that the timely preparation and adoption of a General Plan is promoted. Based upon the desire to adopt an operative General Plan, and the additional time needed to resolve issues and concerns relating to the adoption of the General Plan, staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolutionh 92- XX requesting an extension of times pur=unnt to c"'w n" Hoed% QAA*iA% 99191 (a)(6) and direct staff to prepare and forward all necessary documentation to the Office of Planning and Research.

RECITALS (i) On April 17, 1989, the City of Diamond Bar was established as a duly organized municipal corporation of the State of California. (ii) Section 65360 of the California Government Code allows newly incorporated cities thirty (30) months to adopt a general plan following incorporation. (iii) At a duly noticed public hearing held on September 17, 1991, the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar adopted Resolution 91-61 requesting an extension of time, pursuant to Section 65361 of the California Government Code, for the adoption of the General Plan. On February 7, 1992 the Office of Planning and Research granted the City a six-month extension, which expired on August 5, 1992, to complete the General Plan. (iv) The City of Diamond Bar has developed a comprehensive General Plan for the physical development of the City. This plan, which was developed in accordance to State law, sets forth the City's developmental policies, objectives and standards as well as the constituent elements of Land Use, Circulation, Housing, Safety, Noise, Open Space, Conservation Elements, and a Environmental Impact Report for these elements. The City of Diamond Bar has held approximately 54 public meetings in relation to the General Plan from September 1989 through July 14, 1992. (v) Citizen participation has been provided through the formation of a General Plan Citizen Advisory Committee assigned to review and develop the General Plan. A total of 37 public meetings have been held by GPAC thus far. Input received as a result of these meetings has been instrumental in the development of the General Plan. (vi) The Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar has conducted several duly noticed study sessions on July 22, August 26, 1991 to consider and receive public testimony on the draft General Plan. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing, on September 9, and September 23, 1991 and on April 13, April 20, April 27, May, 4, May 11, May 18, May 21, May 26, May 28, June 1 and June 8, 1992. (vii) On June 9, June 16, June 23, June 30, July 7, and July 14, 1992, the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar conducted a duly noticed public hearing, whereby public testimony was received with respect to all plans/elements of the General Plan, and concluded said hearings on July 14, 1992.

The City Clerk conducted a preliminary review of the petition pursuant to Section 4053 of the California Elections Code and on August 19, 1992 said petition was filed with the Los Angeles County Registrar of Voters office for examination. The effect of this filing has resulted in the suspension of the General Plan and its constituent elements. (ix) Despite the City's diligent efforts to adopt a General Plan in accordance to State law, the City Council hereby makes the following findings to justify a request for a one-year extension of time for the adoption of the General Plan: a) In accordance with Section 65361(a)(6) of the Government Code, the City finds that due to extenuating circumstances the effective date of General Plan has been suspended pursuant to Section 4051 of the California Elections Code thus resulting in an extension of time request to resolve issues and concerns relating to the adoption of the General Plan. b) In accordance with Section 65361 (3)(f) of the Government Code, the City finds that in spite of previous extensions of time, the City has exper- ienced an unusual circumstance which requires an additional extension of time to satisfy the re- quirements of Section 65360 of the Government Code. (x) On September 1, 1992, the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar conducted a duly noticed public hearing with respect to this request for an extension of time, and concluded said hearing on that date. (xii) The City of Diamond Bar City Council finds that in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the approval of a time extension for the adoption of the General Plan is exempt under section 65361(f) of the Government Code and requires no further environmental review. (xiii) All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined and resolved by the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar as follows: 1. The City Council hereby approves a request for an extension of time, and directs staff to prepare an application to the State of California Office of Planning and Research requesting an extension of one year to resolve issues and concerns relating to the adoption of the General Plan. 2. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this Resolution and shall forward a copy of this resolution to the Director of Planning and Research of the State of California as part of the City's application for a one- year extension.

NEW BUSINESS: 8.1 ADOPT A PARK PROGRAM - The Parks & Recreation Commission has been approached by different community members and organizations who have expressed an interest in becoming involved in the upkeep and further beautification of city parks.

In response to these requests the Commission has developed an Adopt -A - Park Program which is designed to formally involve the community in the care and maintenance of city parks. This program is expected to have a limited fiscal impact on the city (less than $100 the first year), as maintenance materials required to complete routine projects are already included in the 1992-93 adopted City budget. This program may also provide for additional benefits to the city in the form of donations and in -kind support. Recommended Action: Approve the implementation of the Adopt -A -Park Program. 9.
