CALL TO ORDER: Chairman Groth6 called the meeting to order at 7:05
p.m. in the 'South Coast Air Quality Management
District Board Meeting Room, 21865 E. Copley Drive,
Diamond Bar, California.
PLEDGE OF The audience was led in the Pledge of Allegiance by
ALLEGIANCE: Mr. Al Rumpilla.
ROLL CALL: Commissioner Harmony, Commissioner Flamenbaum,
Commissioner Schey, Vice Chairman MacBride, and
Chairman Grothe.
Also present were Community Director James
DeStefano, Associate Planner Robert' Searcy,
Planning Technician Ann Lungu, and Contract
Secretary Liz Myers.
MATTERS FROM Mr. Tom Ortiz, residing at 3308 Hawkwood, a member
THE AUDIENCE: of the Traffic and Transportation commission (TTC) ,
thanked the Commission for their efforts in
providing the TTC with information regarding
Planning meetings.
MINUTES: Motion was made by C/Flamenbaum, seconded by
C/Schey and CARRIED to approve the Minutes of
Jan. 13, 1992 January 13, 1992. VC/MacBride abstained.
PUBLIC HEARINGS: CD/DeStefano reported that this item was an
advertized public hearing in anticipation of a
TT Map No. 50519/ revised project, to be received from Dr. Crowley,
DR No. 91-2/ regarding the 80 unit senior citizen project
DA No. 91-2/ located along Torrito Lane. However, at the last
Zone Change 91-1 Planning meeting, the Commission decided to
postpone any action on this project until such time
that a Cost/Benefit analysis was completed.
Therefore, it is staff's recommendation that the
Commission take no action at this time.
CD/DeStefano, in response to C/Flamenbaum, stated
that the applicant has resubmitted a new project
with the following changes: contains less dwelling
units; replaces the three story building, that was
adjacent to the single family homes to the north,
with a two story building; changes the entire
project to be Senior Citizen oriented; is
requesting a zone change to eliminate, the
commercial zoning, and rezone to a more appropriate
residential zone; and reduces parking in accordance
to the senior citizen parking standards.
C/Schey inquired if the zone change would eliminate
the need for a Development Agreement.
CD/DeStefano explained that the Development
Agreement remains a necessary tool because of the
heighth issue involved, in that particular zone, as
January 27, 1992 Page 2.
well as the contractual relationships and
obligations that the City is interested in to
secure the senior citizen amenities, and the
project amenities.
VC/MacBride, in response to C/Harmony's inquiry as
to why a Cost/Benefit analysis was requested,
explained that he wanted further information that
considered the difference in the benefits, to the
City in terms of revenue, in retaining a commercial
aspect as opposed to residential aspects.
C/Harmony indicated that he is not opposed to the
request of a Cost/Benefit analysis, but rather
surprised by the developer's audaciousness to
change the project.
The Public Hearing was declared opened.
Don Gravdahl, residing at 23988 Minnequa, inquired
if the project is going to be a. condominium, or a
low income rental senior citizen project. Noting
that a senior citizen complex can receive a density
bonus, he expressed his concern with the
availability of parking.
CD/DeStefano explained that the Commission has not
yet seen any of the proposed changes. To staff's
understanding, the project still remains a market
rate condominium project, with the only difference
being that the applicant is proposing that it be
marketed and available exclusively for senior
citizens. Staff has not had the opportunity to
analyze the issues involved. At this point, the
applicant is requesting zoning and density
consistent with the zone he is now applying for,
and not a density bonus.
Red Calkins, residing at 240 Eagle Nest Dr., stated
his concern that the project will generate an
increase in trash and water consumption, at the '
time whenweshould be conserving. He noted that
the senior citizen complex on north Diamond Bar
Blvd. continuously has vacant units.
Chair/Grothe requested staff to be prepared to have
information regarding the State law density bonus.
The Public Hearing was declared closed.
C/Flamenbaum requested that staff provide the
Commission with the project's blue print plans well
in advance of the next public hearing.

Jahuary 27, 1992 Page 3
Motion was made by C/Schey, seconded by
C/Flamenbaum and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to table the
matter.
INFORMATIONAL CD/DeStef ano reported that, pursuant to the
ITEMS: commission's direction at the last meeting, staff
is distributing Planning Commission agendas to the
TTC and the Parks and Recreation Commission. It is
anticipated that there will be reciprocal responses
from those commission's staff. The agendas will
either be included in the Planning Commission's
packet, or be mailed, depending upon the timing of
each commission's meetings.
CD/DeStef ano suggested, that the Commission choose
to develop a consensus "White Paper" for the City
Council's consideration, as oppose to the
Commission's earlier decision to prepare one
independently.
C/Schey stated that he had suggested to staff that
it may be more appropriate to respond in an
organized fashion. Since the deadline to submit
the "White Paper" is in March, and, by then, we may
be a Commission with a different make-up whose
members are not familiar with the issues and
concerns to be presented, he suggested that the
"White Paper" be completed before that date.
CD/DeStefano explained that the purpose of the
"White Paper" is an opportunity for the Commission
to address any issues, concerning the Planning
Commission and/or the City, and to present those
issues for thought to the City Council at the study
session.
Chair/Grothe and C/Schey discussed examples of some
of the issues that could be outlined in the "White
Paper". The "White Paper" could also include a
.,philosophical approach on what type of community we
envision ourselves to be, or to become.
C/Schey suggested, and the Commission concurred,
that a sub -committee should be appointed to
formulate the "White Paper". C/Schey and
C/Flamenbaum volunteered to be on the sub-
committee. Each Commissioner should outline their
individual ideas and submit them, through staff, by
Friday of this week. The matter is to be placed on
next meeting's agenda.
Chair/Grothe, in regards to the proposed Goodyear
project, presented a photo of a similar project for
January 27, 1992
Page 4
the purpose of demonstrating it could be made more
aesthetically acceptable to the community.
CD/DeStefano informed the Commission that the
Planners Institute will be held in the second week
of April of 1992, in San Diego.
Chair/Grothe suggested that the reservations be
obtained early, and that staff insures that they
are in close proximity to the meeting.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: C/Schey noted that the "gorilla" at the Honda car
dealership is back.
Chair/Grothe stated that the Sign Ordinance.should
either be enforced, or further revised to exempt,
or to adjust, to car dealerships.
C/Flamenbaum inquired if there is a way to mandate
against businesses, that go bankrupt, from boarding
up their windows.
CD/DeStefano indicated that staff will explore the
options available and get back to the Commission.
C/Harmony stated that he has received various
complaints regarding the events held by the Maple
Hills Club. He explained that the Hills Club is
located in an R-1 zone, has approximately 3,000
members, and has many social events that have
become a. disturbance to the surrounding residential
neighborhood. He requested staff to investigate
the matter, and see if it can be dealt with on a
code enforcement basis.
C/Harmony addressed the Commission regarding his
concern that the Planning Commission has not set up
definitive guidelines for Architectural Review. He
specifically referred to the recent criticism, from
the general public, over Diamond. Brother's
Apartment complex on Grand Avenue, and recommended
that the Commission authorize staff to put together
guidelines and standard for architectural review.
He suggested that the commission appoint a sub-
committee of architects, a landscape architects,
and other professional trades to review, on a
volunteer basis, all development plans and to
report back to the commission. Herequestedthe
subject of architectural review be placed on the
next agenda.
CD/DeStef ano suggested that staff first provide the
Commission with a review of the last draft of the
design guidelines. If there is further desire,
January 27, 1992
Page 5
staff will then forward the recommendation to the
City council. The matter will be placed on the
next agenda as an informational item. The
Commission concurred.
Chair/Grothe requested staff to provide the
Commission with a calendar of upcoming projects.
C/Schey suggested that staff modify the "Matters
From the Audience" portion of the agenda to
indicate that the general public may also address
any items on the agenda, but not a public hearing.
ADJOURNMENT: Motion was made by C/Schey, seconded by
C/Flamenbaum and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to adjourn the
meeting at 8:32 p.m.

DEVELOPMENT -REVIEW
22.72.010 Purpose and Intent.
A. This Chapter establishes the review procedures for
residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional
development proposals to facilitate project development review in
a timely and efficient manner; to -ensure that development
projects comply with all applicable local design guidelines,
standards, and ordinances; to minimize adverse effects on
surrounding properties and the environment; and are consistent
with the general plan which promotes high aesthetic and
functidnal standards to complement and add to the physical,
economic, and social character of Diamond Bar.
B. The City finds that a development review process
will support the implementation of the general plan, as it
stresses quality community design standards. The City further
finds that the quality of residential, institutional, commercial,
and industrial uses has a substantial impact upon the visual
appeal, environmental soundness, economic stability, and property
values of the City. This Chapter is not intended to restrict
imagination, innovation or variety, but rather to focus on
community.design principles which can result in creative,
imaginative solutions for the project and a quality design for
the City. It is, therefore, the purpose of this Chapter to:
(1) Recognize the interdependence of land values
and aesthetics and provide a method by which t '
he City may
implement this interdependence to its benefit;
(2) Encourage the orderly and harmonious
appearance of structures and property within the City along with
associated facilities, such as signs, landscaping, parking areas,
and streets; I
(3) Maintain the public health, safety and
general welfare,and property throughout the City;
.(4) Assist developments to be more cognizant of
public concerns for the aesthetics of development;
(5) Reasonably ensure that new developments,
including residential, institutional, commercial and industrial
developments, do not have an adverse aesthetic, health, safety or
architecturally related impact upon existing adjoining
properties, or the city in general;

This project was before the Planning Commission on January 13, 1992.
At that hearing, staff presented the Goodyear project and the SpeeDee
Oil project at the same time to allow the Commission the opportunity to
review both projects in reference to the other. The Commission
directed staff to address various issues including but not limited to
the following: parking, auto and pedestrian circulation, orientation
of the buildings, and potential noise impacts.
Staff has worked with the applicant in addressing these issues and the
information has been forwarded to staff.
APPLICATION ANALYSIS:
1
PARKING:
The Goodyear Auto Service Center site currently provides 16 standard
size parking spaces and one (1) handicapped space directly in front of
the pad. The Service Center requires 13 parking spaces per code. The
design of this project incorporates a total of 12 parking spaces at the
pad location. There are 25 additional parking spaces available
directly west across the 26 ft. wide drive aisle that can be utilized
by any excess demand generated by the Service Center. These additional
parking spaces will -be competed for with movie patrons during periods
when both uses are operating at peak hours on weekends. Staff does not
however feel that the parking required would create a negative impact
or a deficiency in parking availability. .
BUILDING ORIENTATION:
Staff has reviewed the elevations of the Service Center building to
determine if the orientation and architectural features are appropriate
and compatible.
The building orientation was topic of discussion between the staff and
the applicant early in the concept stages. Staff felt that the
orientation of the bay doors was the greatest potential visual impact.
As such, the bay doors were suggested to be oriented to the Fountain
Springs elevation rather than into the parking area.
This decision provided two distinct advantages. Since the bay doors
are open during the hours of operation and all work conducted at the
Service Center would be visible to the Towne Center in general and also
to Diamond Bar Blvd. The trend today is to orient the visual access
into auto service centers away from the interior of commercial centers
whenever possible (note the Broadway Service Center in the Puente Hills
Mall).
The additional advantage for this orientation is related to parking and
the ingress egress of the cars being serviced. The access road that
leads to the rear portion of the building may reduce the hazards
related to additional cars backing into the drive aisles. All cars
being serviced will access the service area via one entrance and will
enter the driveway aisle pulling forward rather than backward thereby
increasing the range of vision. Also, the orientation of the bay doors
to the rear portion -of the building allows parking spaces to be
provided at the front of the building. With bay doors facing into the
parking area, parking spaces could not be provided in front of the
doors thus eliminating these spaces in total.
The disadvantage of the proposed orientation of the bay doors is the
projection of sound impacts into the residential neighborhood north and
east of the project site. There is also a concern'for breaking up the
long relatively featureless wall. The wall is designed with cement
plaster at the cornice and accent band that extends from the entrance
4
statement to the end of the building's eastern elevation. Staff would
—
recommend that vertical pilasters also be incorporated in the exterior
features in addition to extensive landscaping to break up the
massiveness of the wall.
NOISE:
The noise study attached to this report was completed and forwarded to
the City staff on Tuesday February 4, 1992. Staff has had time to
evaluate the basic results of the analysis but not the necessary time
to distribute it to the City Engineer for review and comments.
An overview of the analysis yields the determination that the Goodyear
Service Center would not add significantly to the ambient noise levels
currently being experienced by the surrounding land uses. The
applicant - measured the sound levels on the property of the nearest
adjacent resident. These measurements were taken on a Tuesday
afternoon and Saturday morning. Then sound levels emanating from an
eight (8) bay service center were measured on a Saturday afternoon.
From these measurements, calculations were performed to determine the
potential noise levels. These calculations derived a 1/10 percent
increase in the noise level 100 ft. from the noise source.
The report also listed various mitigation measures that include a sound
wall extending approximately 8 1/2 ft. above the Fountain springs Road
grade. The impacts of this mitigation measure have not been analyzed
by staff. Specifically the visual impacts to the adjacent residences.
The applicant has stated that the wall will be landscaped to soften the
visual impacts but the issue has not been sufficiently analyzed.
RECOMMENDATION:
Because of the date the of submittal
hearing be continued to the March 9,
This will allow staff the opportunity

:Ind is necessary in determining the existing CNEL exposure at any chosen location. The residential
.Property closest to the proposed project is approximately 1750 feet east of State Route 57 and
approximately 240 feet west of Diamond Bar Boulevard. Using these distances and the information given
:in the able, we calculate the existing CNL rating at the site is approximatelyC�MIA?3. See Appendix
A for a summary of this calculation. The calculated CNEL rating is in keeping with onsite sound level
measurements made by us on the afternoon of Tuesday 28 January 1992 and the rooming of Saturday 1
Februaty 1992. The property in question is 110' north of the proposed building's workbay openings.
N. the morning of 1 February 1992 we.measured the sound emissions from the Scher Tire Store at 3575
Rosemead Boulevard in the City of Rosemead, Since this store was near a busy. intersecdotl we were not
able to make a direct measurement of the sound emissions in a continuous session. Instead, we had the
cooperation of tire store personnel who demonstrated the various sound-gerierating activities for our
measurement during lulls in the nearby traffic. Using those measurements. and census information
concerning the store's projected daily activity, we are able to project the contribution of the tire store
activities to the total sound exposure at the Diamond Par site.
The Rosemead store's manager informed us that a typical Saturday (the busiest day of the week for a tire
store) has 25 customers for such work as tire replacement, brake replacement and oil change. Only the
tire and brake replacements generate significant sound levels, The typical daily job breakdown for tire and
brake replacements, according to the Rosemead store manager, is 30 tires and 6 brakes (3 jobs of 2 wheels
each). The remaining work is oil changes and other miscellaneous auto repairs.

Each tire and brake replacement includes a number of steps, each of which can generate significant sound.
The Sound Exposure Level (SEL) was treasured for each of these steps. The SEL rating of an activity is
determined by measuring the A-wcightcd sound level for the complete activity and determining what the
&>und levet would be if the entire activity had taken place over a 1 second time period. The SEL value
it; then scaled (or multiplied) by the number of such activities that occur in any givers time period to
determine the average sound exposure during that time period. This method is welt -accepted by the
acoustical.engincering community as useful in. projecting Iongrterm average sound exposures from recurring
activities, such as aircraft flyovers or vehicle passbys. The SEL method is the basis for the Federal HighwayAdministration's ( A) traffic noise model, used by virtually all of this country's municipalities for
determining traffic noise exposures in their communities. The City of Diamond.Bar's traffic noise study
used the SEL method for determining its existing traffic noise exposures,
The SEL value at 110' (the distance to the residential property line nearest the proposed project) of each
tire and brake replacement activity is:

If we assume 30 tire replacements and 6 brake replacements per day, and if we double the projected strand
exposures from such activities to account for miscellaneous sounds due to such activities as radios,
conversations and tools falling on the floor, and if all activities occur during daytime hours (between 7:00
AM and 10:40 PM) the CNEL rating at the nearest residential property is projected to increase from

prVerty litre, the CNEL increase is so slight that it is virtually non-c'Astent. The reason for this apparent
ct Cmpaney is that the sound events are of such short duration that they do not: add significantly to the
average sound exposure.
Ta minimize sound emissions to the community the following mitigation measures should be followed.
I, Keep all equipment in good working order
2.. All hydraulic lifts should have mufflers installed at their air bleed outlets,
3. All repair work should be done inside of the building, not outside on the driveway.
4. Deep the unused workbay doors closed.
5. Ido not open any workbay doors until 7:00 AM. &:fore -hours and after-hours work should be
done with the doors closed.
If mduction of theproject's sound emissions to the surrounding community is desired to achieve a truly
r..on�calculable increase in C:NEL rating, a barrier should be built along the north, east and west property
lines surrounding the rear driveway. The barrier should be tall enough to break a line-of�sight between
tate top of the workbay door openings and the top of the bedroom window of. the nearest residential
Fropem, Based on our review of the site geogmphY► this would mean that the barrier should be about d
fimt tall relative to the nearest roadway level. The barrier material could be the owner's choice of wood,
metal, stucco or W.0sonry with a mirdmum surface weight of at least 4 pounds per square foot. There may
be no openings in the barrier and it must seat. essentially airtight to all adjacent constructions. If the
workbay door opening height can be reduced, then the barier height can also be reduced proportionally,

This schedule responds to issues raised by members of the Planning Commission and
the Planning Staff regarding applications being reviewed for Country Hills Towne Center.
1 - Design Review for Goodyear Service Center (91-3) Lot 14.
Issues: (1) Noise. A sound study has been completed by TWC, and
results will be known Tuesday Noon 2/4.
(2) Siting the building The store needs to face North. Owner
has respectfully considered facing it South as suggested by Chair
Groe,the, but both owner and tenant prefer the way submitted.
Bays will be visually bidden from residences. Owner will
tastefully landscape blank wall facing South. Tenant will keep
work area clean and tidy.
(3) Increased traffic. Picture study was made by owner at
request of Commissioner Harmony covering 8 AM - 11 PM
Friday and Saturday to respond to concern about concentration
of traffic and parking toward North end of the center. Pictures
show no excess concentration and adequate parking at all
times. Traffic consultant Faust has testified a very nominal
change to the level of service on both Diamond Bar Boulevard
and Fountain Springs Road on trip generations.
1 (4) Parkin . Staff questioned adequacy of parking when this
facility is operating. The center even with Goodyear and
Speedee Oil in place has substantial excess parking spaces.
Additional signs calling attention to lighted parking area back
of the theater will be installed.

Ann J. Lungu, Planning Technician
Conditional Use Permit No. 91-12, Development Review
No. 91-5. and Sign Review No. 91-42
On January 13, 1992, at a public hearing, staff presented C.U.P.
No. 91-12I D.R. No. 91-5I and S.R. No. 91-42 to the Planning
Commission for review. At this ti
which needed to be resolved by t]
Commission decision could be made.
that the applicant needed to respon,
the building, exhaust scrubbers,
directional signs.
ie, several issues where raised
.e applicant before a Planning
The following are the issues
.to: noise, parking, relocating
retaining wall, 'sidewalk, and
1. Noise: Applicant stated that very little noise will
result from SpeeDee. The type of work which
they will be doing is preventive maintenance
not repair work or tire changing. Air
wrenches will not be used. Some concern was
related to oil delivery and the type of
vehicle used. oil will be delivered to the
site in a bobtruck (small truck) -once a week.
It is possible to raise the existing wall at
Fountain Springs Road about one (1) foot to
mitigate sound if necessary.
2. Parking: The shopping center provides enough parking
for the proposed use. Theater parking will be
allowed on the site of SpeeDee after 6 p.m.
Monday through Saturday and all day on Sunday.
A sign will be posted stating the parking
times. Additional lighting may be required in
the rear parking area behind the cinema.
3. Building: The new site plan shows the current proposed
location of the SpeeDee structure. The
structure has been moved 32 feet to the North
to accommodate the required parking. on the
original site plan the masonry trash enclosure
was located adjacent to the front property
I
line of the SpeeDee pad. It has been moved 16
feet north of . the property line on the new
site plan..' There is a landscaped planter area
which will surround part of the trash
enclosure. The applicant will be required to
install additional landscaping in order to
effectively conceal the trash enclosure.
Drawing will need to be- submitted indicating
the additional landscaping and the type of
trash enclosure to be constructed. The result
of the relocation of the trash enclosure will
allow vehicles a clear line of site when
entering and leaving this area.
4. Exhaust: The applicant will be smog testing
approximately 3-4 vehicles a day which will
result in a small amount of exhaust. In
actuality, 100 of their business is smog
testing. Also, the applicant states that
effective scrubbers for this purpose are not
available.
5. Wall: The retaining wall will be landscaped. Since
there is not an area between the retaining
wall and the sidewalk along Fountain Springs
Road, the* additional landscaping will be
planted on the slope area, adjacent to the
wall, facing in to the shopping center. In
order to mitigate the view of a blank wall
facing Fountain Springs Road, the applicant
will plant a fast growing vine which will
attach itself to the wall and cascade over it.
6. Sidewalk: The applicant will provide a sidewalk from
Fountain Springs Road to the parking area
below for the safety of pedestrians walking to
and from the center. In reviewing the new
site plan, it shows that the sidewalk should
be brought completely around the corner to
meet the existing bominite crosswalk.
7. Signs: Directional signs will be posted directing
theater patrons and others to parking area
behind the theater. Merchants have confirmed
that employees will be 'asked to park behind
the center on busy retail days.
On February 4, 1992, the City received a sound study which was
prepared for the propose I d Goodyear project. It is possible after
analysis by City staff that the sound study could have an impact on
the SpeeDee project.
I
C.U.P No. 91-12 is a part of this application. It is. a request to
divide a vacant pad (designated as pad #15) into two (2) pads for
a proposed restaurant and retail use. The main issue concerning
this proposed.project is the location of the drive-thru isle. At
the request of the City Engineer, the applicant is willing to
relocate the drive-thru isle. The new proposed location will be
between the retail pad and the pad for the drive-thru restaurant.
RECOMMENDATION•
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve one of the
following alternatives:
1. A Resolution recommending approval.with the Findings of Fact,
the Mitigated Negative Declaration, and listed conditions;
2. Approve the Resolution recommending approval with the Findings
of Fact,. the Mitigated Negative Declaration, and listed
conditions with the option to add the necessary mitigation
measures which may result from the sound study for Goodyear;
3. Continue the hearing until the next meeting after the City has
had the opportunity to analyze the sound study for Goodyear.

January 13, 1992
Page 2
The Applicant has previously been granted a Conditional Use Permit (CUP
No. 87-002-1 by the Regional Planning Commission on December 23, 1987.
This CUP is required to authorize the construction and operation of a
motion picture theater (cinema) with less than standard parking subject
to certain restrictions.
The site of the proposed project is located in a Restricted Business
(C-1) zone. Generally, the following uses surround the site: to the
North is Single Family Residential (R-1-7,500) zone; to the South is
Residential Planned Development (RPD -1-15U) zone; to the East is R-1-
20,000 zone; West is R-1-7,500 which is separated from the subject site
by a flood control channel.
APPLICATION ANALYSIS:
The subject site, Country Hills Towne center, is approximately 17.7
acres and is located on the North side corner of Diamond Bar Blvd.
between Fountain Springs Road and Cold Spring Lane. The two pads
involved in, this proposed project are #13 and #15. Pad #13 is
approximately 18,055 square feet and pad #15 is approximately 18,400
square feet.,
on pad #13, the applicant is request to construct a one story building
of 2,847 square feet (including the pit area -3,540 square feet) to house
a SpeeDee Oil Change and Tune -Up store which will offer smog testing and
services incidental thereto. This building will contain a sales area
for taking in and cashing out cars and a waiting area, four (4) bays and
a pit area. In the sales area there will be a coffee machine, a water
and beverage vending machine. Hours of operation will be 8:00 a.m. to
5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The number of employees will be four
(4). All work on automobiles will be completed inside the building and
will not contribute to an increase in noise or excessive fumes.
Products stored and use for SpeeDee are fresh oil and automatic
transmission fluid. There will be four (4) 500 gallon tanks for storage
on the site, located in the pit, behind a three (3) foot block wall,
above ground and below grade. The tanks are double walled and
constructed of steel. Three (3) tanks will store new oil and one (1)
tank will store waste oil. The waste oil will be hauled away by
Petroleum Recycling corporation, located at 1865 E. 29th Street, Signal
Hill, California 90806. The waste oil is completely recyclable. When
the business is stabilized, pick-up of waste will be once a week.
Pressurized tanks will be on the premises for air and is used to pump
oil from the tanks. The new oil is categorized as Class 1 which has a
low flash point and combustibility. The waste oil is Class 3 which also
has a low flash point and combustibility but it is considered higher
then the new oil. The manner in which the tanks are located allows for
visibility in order to inspect them.
AGENDA ITEM
January 13, 1992

Parking standards for SpeeDee are based on the County of Los Angeles
Planning and Zoning Code which requires one (1) space for every four
hundred (400) square feet of gross floor area. As per this code, eight
(8) standard size spaces and one (1) handicapped space is required.
SpeeDee will be providing twenty-eight (28) space adjacent to the
building. According to the site plan for CUP 91-002-1, the shopping
center is required to provide a total of 933 parking spaces. The site
plane submitted for the proposed project provides 1042 to 1053 parking
spaces. According to the traffic study, dated August 8, 1991, the
proposed SpeeDee structure will displace forty-seven (41) parking
spaces. This will cause forty-seven (47) theater goers to park five
hundred (500) feet from the theater or in the parking area provided
behind the theater. if this area is to be used for parking, a
directional sign should be provided directing patrons to this area and
restriping of these spaces will need to be done to clearly define them.
Another factor to consider is that the peak hours of business for the
theater is usually when most retail uses of the center are not open for
business.
The proposed trash enclosure will be located at the rear of the pad.
The trash pick-up truck could enter at the Fountain Springs Road
driveway. The turning radius for the drivie-thru isle between the cinema
and pad #13 will need to be check and altered if necessary to
accommodate the trash pick-up truck per City Engineers specification.
The City Engineer has requested that the applicant conduct a traf f is
study to determine the necessity of a stop sign. for the driveway located
at Fountain Springs Road.
A condition of the approval for CUP 87-002-1 indicates the Applicant
shall provide adequate qualified personnel in the parking areas from
dusk through one-half hour after closing of the cinema to discolirage
loitering and littering and to encourage maximum usage of available
parking facilities by providing patron security. At the time of this
report, the permittee is providing security as required.
On pad #15, the Applicant is requesting to create two (2) pads. one pad
is proposed general retail and the other pad is proposed for drive-thru
restaurant. On the site plan submitted to the City, pad #15 is
approximately 17,760 square feet. The retail structure will be
approximately 3,855 square feet and the restaurant structure will be
approximately 3,050 square feet. The rest of the area will be dedicated
to landscaping and parking. In Exhibit "A-111 of CUP 87-002-1, it shows
that approximately 21,000 square feet is dedicated for pad area and
7,700 square feet is for the restaurant structure. Ingress drive-thru
for the proposed restaurant and existing egress drive-thru for Burger
King are adjacent to each other. The City Engineer requests that the
applicant investigate other options for the placement of 'the ingress
drive-thru isle. When a project is submitted for. each of the two (2)
newly created pads, a Development Review process will be required for
the proposed structures of the two (2) uses. .At this time, the pad is
vacant and was originally approved for a restaurant.

The total area of the pad devoted to landscaping is 4,170 square feet
(24.5% of the pad area). The Los Angeles County Planning and Zoning
Code requires a minimum area of 10% to be landscaped. The landscaping
of this proposed project more then complies with the mini -mum
requirements. A conceptual landscape was submitted to the City with the
application. The city will require a final landscape plan to be.
submitted for review by City staff.
Orientation of the proposed structure is such that the entrance to the
bays will be facing Fountain springs Road and the exit will be facing
the cinema. When standing at street level of Fountain Springs Road,
facing the six (6) foot high solid masonry wall which borders the
property line and sidewalk of pad #13, the view of what can be seen is
the top portion of the tower. This is the portion of the proposed
structure that would be observe from the nearest residence which is
approximately 1501 from the site. Also, the proposed structure is
approximately twelve (12) feet below the grade of property owners
closest to the site.

Re: Proposed SpeeDee Oil Change Shop and
Goodyear Tire Center in
Country Hills Towne Center
CITY of
DIAM02ND BAR

PLA?iNING , '1
;c, DEPT. `` .

This letter is in protest to the proposed SpeeDee Oil Change Shop
and Goodyear Tire Center in Country Hills Towne Center.
Both business create objectional levels of noise and exhaust fumes.
Both business are unintelligently proposed at the extreme north end
of the Towne Center bordering Fountain Springs, The distance
between the proposed businesses and the nearest homes is
approximately 100 feet, Country Hills Towne Center is completely
surrounded by residential zones with no buffer zone between the
two. This center cannot accommodate noisy, nuisance -type
businesses like the proposed above.
Both businesses will lower surrounding property values by their
proximity to a nuisance -type business.
I have lived on the corner of Rising Star and Fountain Springs,
directly across the street from the proposed businesses, for 29 1/2
years.
am a service -mechanic and have worked in an auto/truck repair
facility for over 12 years and know the noise and exhaust levels
that are created in such businesses.
Although SpeeDee Oil Change may not have the level of auto repair
of Goodyear, what they do is still a nuisance.
They will have an air compressor going on and off all day long to
build up air pressure in the.tank. Grease pumps using air pressure
are noisy. I have been told SpeeDee will not use air impact
wrenches, also called air guns because that's what they sound like -
machine guns. .1 do not believe that. All mechanics have air guns
in their tool box. If they have' them and air pressure is
available, they will use the guns. There will be opportunities to
use them in the course of their work, replacing parts and other
service operations. And there is always the possibility that
SpeeDee XAY expand their repair operations in the future.

Exhaust fumes from idling cars are another problem. Unfortunately
the fumes upon exiting the building will not go straight up to a
great height to be dissipated. They will be carried by the winds
north towards the adjacent homes and either up or down depending
upon the vagaries of wind currents. The prevailing wind is from
south to north. Anyone interested can stop by Burger King in the
Towne Center and watch the smoke from the grills after it exits the
vents and the effect of the winds upon it. This, will give a good
idea what happens to the exhaust fumes.
The proposed location for SpeeDee oil change is now part of the
center parking area adjacent to the Krikorian Theaters. I think
it unwise to remove any existing parking from the center,
especially around the theater. Many times the parking areas are
practically full. The Towne Center is not yet built up completely
and existing store space is about 1/3 vacant. When the center is
fully developed and all stores open, the lack of sufficient parking
space may force cars onto neighborhood streets.
Most everyone has taken their car in for tire, brake or engine
repair to a repair facility like a Goodyear Tire Center. Everyone
knows the noise level there. The frequent rat -a -tat -tat of the air
guns removing and installing wheel lug nuts is too loud to be so
close to homes and offices. Noise from steel tire irons and tire
rims dropped on a concrete floor carries far. Noisy machines
include air compressors, tire mounting machines and air pressure
grease pumps. Brake repair creates an asbestos danger from the
brake linings. All this and auto exhaust fumes too. There is
enough incidental noise from the center without putting in a
business that creates it.
There is one Goodyear Tire Center in Pomona.
There is one Goodyear Tire Center in Ontario.
There is one Goodyear Tire Center in Montclair.
There is one Goodyear Tire Center in ` Chino Hills.
There is one Goodyear Tire Center in.Rowland Heights.
There is one Goodyear Tire Center in Hacienda Heights.
There is one Goodyear Tire Center in La Puente.
There is one Goodyear Tire Center in Diamond Bar already, plus a
Firestone Tire Center.
Question: Why does Diamond Bar need two Goodyear Tire Centers?
13
4
Adjacent to the proposed Goodyear Tire Center ( to the east, corner
of Fountain Springs and Diamond Bar 'Blvd. ) is a ten unit office
buildingthatincludes among then a dental office and a doctor's
office., The noise created by the automotive work and support
machine should prove disruptive and disturbing to a professional
office. A business office should be allowed to conduct its
business in a relatively noise -free environment.
Let the argument be used that these businesses will only be open
during the day, and therefore no one will be at home to be affected
by the noise and pollution know that there are many who are at home
during the day'. Small children, retirees, people working from
their homes, people who work swing or graveyard hours, working
people home sick, and homemakers are all home during the day.
I look forward to the completion of Country Hills Towne Center and
its added business but not the nuisance, property value lowering
type that has been proposed.
Thank you for reading this,

BACKGROUND:
The applicants, Eko and Monica Kuntjoro, are requesting an approval to
open a dry cleaning establishment which will maintain a dry cleaning
plant on the premises.
The proposed project is located at 11397-99 Diamond Bar Boulevard,
which is in a C -3 -BE (Unlimited Commercial Billboard Exclusion) Zone.
Adry cleaning establishment is allowed in this zone by right. A dry
cleaning plant is permitted in this zone provided that a conditional

quired for a dry cleaning plant in a C -3 -BE per Section 22.28.210 of
the Los Angeles County Code.
The proposed site is approximately 1.92 acres and '
is located ina strip
shopping center, identified as Montefino Center, on Diamond Bar Blvd.
The primary uses in this shopping center is CVS/Pharmacy.
Agenda Item
February 10, 1992
Page Two
Generally, the following land uses surround the subject_ site:_ tQ--the
north is RPD -8,000-9U (Residential -'Planned Development -8,000 square
foot lots -9 units) zone; to the south is R -3-18U (Limited Multiple
Residence) zone; to the west is R-1-8,000 (Residential -Minimum Lot Size.
8,000 square feet) zone; to the east is R-1-8,000 and R -3-8,000-30U
zone.
At the present time, there is a dry cleaning establishments with a dry
cleaning plant at Montefino Plaza which is adjacent to Montefino
Center.
APPLICATION ANALYSIS:
The proposed dry cleaning establishment will be located in a unit of
approximately 2,100 square feet and is adequate in size for the
proposed use. One (1) dry cleaning unit, six (6) pressing units for
the different types of garments to be pressed, a spotting board, a
boiler, air compressor, and two (2) conveyors to hang and move clean
articles of clothing will be the main equipment to be utilized. There
will not be any exterior alterations to the building. The maximum
number of employees will be five (5). Hours of operation will be
Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m.
to 5 P.M.
The required number of parking spaces for the existing uses and the
proposed use in this shopping center are seventy-three (73). The
number provided is eighty-five (85). Egress and ingress to this
shopping center is adequate for the proposed use. The previous use in
the subject unit was a chinese restaurant. According to David Liu
Associate Engineer of the City, the current ingress and egress and the
on-site circulation are adequate for the proposed dry cleaning
establishment.
The signage for the proposed dry cleaning establishment is not included
as part of this approval process.
The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) requires an
air pollution control permit to operate a dry cleaning plant. This
permit is issued for the purpose of controlling the amount of Perchlor-
ethylene that is released into the atmosphere during the dry cleaning
process. This permit is renewed annually and records concerning the
dry cleaning process must be available to the SCAQMD for review whenev-
er requested.
Perchlorethylene is the chemical used in the dry cleaning process. The
applicant will be using approximately ten (10) gallons of
Perchlorethylene a month. From the dry cleaning process a still
residue will be produced which is the hazardous waste. This waste will
be hauled away by A.A.D. Hazard Waste Disposal Company located at 2306
February 10, 1992
Page Three
E. 38th St., Vernon, California. According to Don Dallons, regional
sales manager of A.A.D., Perchlorethylene is a non-combustible
chemical. The health risk in using' this chemical is through human
consumption which is possible if not disposed of in the proper way and
could result in Perchlorethylene contaminating the water supply.
Perchlorethylene is delivered to the dry cleaning establishment. The
amount needed is pumped into the dry cleaning equipment, stored there,
and dispensed as needed during the dry cleaning process. A.A.D. will
haul away the remaining hazardous waste from Perchlorethylene and the
filters used in the cleaning process, disposing of the waste in
accordance with state and federal regulations. Some of the waste is
recycled into brake fluid, jewelry cleaner, and Perchlorethylene.
The applicant will be using a dry cleaning machine manufactured by
Realstar' which incoporates the most advanced technology, to conform
with current health and safety requirements, and comply with
environmental and ecological restrictions. An efficient refrigeration
unit, this machine obtains extremely low solvent consumption.
The boiler is manufactured by Thermo -Steam. It is an economical source -
of high pressure steam which is used for pressing garments. It is
equipped withHoneywellMicro safety switches. The boiler will use
approximately fifty-five gallons of water a day. The portion of water
not consumed in the pressing process is then recylced for use at
another time.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
Although the proposed use could have a significant effect on the envi-
ronment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because
the mitigation measures have been incorporated into the proposed pro-
ject and a mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared according
to the guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The applicant has assured the City that all the required safeguards
will be taken to insure the protection of the environment.

This item has been advertised on January 17, 1992 in the San Gabriel
Valley Tribune and the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspapers. This
item has been advertised on January 16, 1992 in The Highlander
newspaper.* Notices were mailed to seventy-seven (77) property owners

Development -8,000 square foot lots -9 units (RPD -8,
000-9U) zone; property to the South is Limited Multiple
Residence -18U (R -3-18U) zone; property to the East is
Residential -minimum Lot Size 8,00 square feet (R-1-8,000)
.and R -3-8,000-30U zones; and property to the West is R-1-
8,000 zone.
'(c) The nature, condition, and size of the .site has been con-
sidered. The site is adequate in size to accommodate the
use.
(d) The Conditional Use Permit will not have an adverse effect
on adjacent or adjoining residential commercial uses. It
will not be materially detrimental to the use, enjoyment,
or valuation of -property of other persons located in the

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
uui ose
This plan has been prepared in compliance with Assembly Bill 11X, which became effective
on October 13, 1991, and amended various sections of the Water Code. According to the Wa-
ter Code, the Walnut Valley Water District is legally required to submit a detailed water
shortage contingency plan to the Department of Water Resources. This plan is provided as an
amendment to our Urban Water Management Plan, which was previously submitted.
District staff coordinated the preparation of this plan with the following local and regional
agencies, which received copies:
California Department of Water Resources
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California
Three Valleys Municipal Water District
Rowland Water District
City of Pomona
City of West Covina
City of Diamond Bar
City of Walnut
City of Industry
Walnut Vallev Water District.
The Walnut Valley Water District is located in the eastern part of Los Angeles County. The
District encompasses an area of over 18,000 acres, or approximately 28 square miles. Current
population within the District is estimated at 90,000, as shown in Figure 1-1.
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD), through its member agency,
Three Valleys Municipal Water District, is the sole supplier of .potable water to the District.
Figure 1-2 shows a history of potable water purchases and consumer growth for the District.
The District also purchases reclaimed water from the City of Pomona to operate its reclaimed
water system. Although most of this water is used for irrigation at sites within the District, a
portion is transported for use by Rowland Water District. In the summertime, deficiencies in
reclaimed water supply are augmented by groundwater from the District's reclaimed well and,
if necessary, makeup water from the District's domestic water system.
The District has a comprehensive disaster plan that was recently updated, which includes
annual inspection of reservoirs and pump stations for earthquake safety. Should a disaster oc-
cur, the District will coordinate its efforts with other agencies, contractors and federal emer-
gency services offices to provide safe drinking water to its consumers. Currently, our potable
water storage reservoirs hold sufficient water to meet the health and safety minimum require-
ments (50 GPCD) for residents for ten days (138 AF) and by early 1993 storage will increase
by 20 percent. Imported potable water sources are all of good quality and, with our extensive
cross -connection program, no problems resulting from contamination are foreseen. During
1992, we will construct a major transmission pipeline that will increase the reliability of our
water system by providing source water from an alternate route.

Public Meeting
Prior to preparing this plan, District staff met with other local and regional agencies on De-
cember 17, 1991 to discuss local issues and drought contingency planning requirements. A
public meeting was subsequently held on February 20, 1992 to receive public comment on
this plan, and the final version of this p as reviewed and formally adopted by the Dis-
trict's Board of Directors. A copy of the resolution adopting this plan is included in Appen-
dix A along with submittal information. The public meeting was properly noticed in local
newspapers informing the public of the availability of draft copies of this plan at the District
office and two public libraries.

CHAPTER 2
WATER USE
Past and Current Water Use
Records indicate that, on the average, over two-thirds of the domestic water use in the District
is for residential consumers. Moreover, as figure 2-1 shows, a substantial amount of water is
used for commercial activities, while only a small percentage serves local industries.
Tables 2-1 and 2-2 provide a history of water purchases and sales by fiscal year. According
to these tables, the District's highest demand fiscal year occurred in 1989-90. They also indi-
cate that the reclaimed system delivers about 6 percent of the water consumed within the Dis-
trict. Table 2-3 shows additional detail about domestic water use over the past 3 years, with
an estimate of 159 gallons per capita per day for water used in and around the home.
Proiected Water Use
Although the District experienced rapid population growth over the last decade, recently
growth has substantially slowed. The District's Urban Water Management Plan Update esti-
mated an annual population growth rate of 1.3 percent over the next 5 years. Table 2-4 shows
the projected future water demands based on our highest demand fiscal year and an overall
demand increase of between 1 and 2 percent each .year. Residential and commercial demands
are projected to increase 1.3 percent annually, while industrial demands should increase at 3
percent. As we expand the use of reclaimed water in our area, demands on our reclaimed sys-
tem are expected to increase at a 2 percent rate.

Past and Current Water Sunni
The Walnut Valley Water District is totally dependent on imported water supplies for its po-
table water system. This water is imported from MWD's Colorado River Aqueduct and their
entitlement to the State Water Project. As figure 3-1 shows, most of the water supplied to the
District is from MWD, although a small portion comes from other sources for the reclaimed
system. Supply sources for the District's reclaimed water system include the Pomona Water
Reclamation Plant, groundwater from one local well and makeup water from our domestic
system. The District has rights to obtain up to 2,000 acre feet of reclaimed water annually
from the City of Pomona.
Proiected Water Sunni
Pursuant to the Drought Contingency Plan for the Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California, MWD could sustain the worst case supply situation over the next three years by
reducing expected demand by 50 percent. This would be accomplished through the Incremen-
tal Interruption and Conservation Plan (HCP), which is described in detail in the next chapter.
A Stage VI level of the IICP would result in an overall reduction in MWD's service area of 50
percent and would require the District to achieve a 30 percent reduction from the base year
ending June 30, 1990. Accordingly, Table 3-1 shows the worst case supply situation over the
next 3 years, with a 30 percent reduction from MWD and a firm yield of 1,500 acre feet of
water from other sources for the reclaimed system.

WATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS
Introduction
Effectively managing valuable water supplies in the midst of a continuing drought is a re-
quirement of all responsible water agencies. With the ongoing drought, it is essential that the
District look at various activities that could result in a reduction in water demands and in-
crease the public's awareness of conserving this precious resource. The programs presented
here are designed to accomplish this in an equitable and economical fashion.
Best Management Practices
On November 14, 1991, our Board of Directors authorized participation in the Best Manage-
ment Practices (BMP) by executing the Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Urban
Water Conservation in, California. The BMPs are a list of 16 conservation measures designed
to achieve a substantial reduction in water demand over the next 10 years.
Incremental Interruption And Conservation Plan
To reduce demands on imported sources during droughts, MWD recently devised the Incre-
mental Interruption and Conservation Plan (IICP), which Three Valleys Municipal Water Dis-
trict (TVMWD) subsequently implemented with identical stages of action. The IICP includes
voluntary and mandatory provisions with financial disincentives designed to reach specific
goals. In response to the IICP and Assembly Bill 11X, the District devised corresponding
4-1
stages and reductioogoals__with provision for up to a 50 percent reduction goal in MWD's
firm deliveries to our District. Table 4-1 shows the stages of the HCP, while the correspond-
ing rationing stages and reduction goals of the District are presented in Table 4-2. We are
currently at a Stage 3 rationing level, which was triggered by TVMWD taking action to im-
plement a Stage V level under the IICP.
Water Use Allocations
In allocating available water, our first concern was for the public's health and safety. Studies
have determined that the health and safety needs of people can be provided by allowing 68
gallons per capita per day (GPCD). With habit and plumbing fixture changes, 37 GPCD
should be sufficient for essential interior use. Table 4-3 shows the water allocated to each
consumer type by priority and rationing stage. From this table it's evident that much of the
residential water is currently used outside the home and that a Stage 4 level allows for some
irrigation of existing landscaping. A Stage 5 level requires a 55 percent reduction in water
use, giving residents an allotment (71 GPCD) well within acceptable limits.
The next priority for water use relates to commercial and industrial activities. To maintain
jobs and an economic base, we reduced the impact to local businesses by allocating smaller
percentage reductions, during a Stage 4 or 5 rationing level, than the overall goal. A Stage 5
level requires a 30 percent reduction in water use for commercial and industrial accounts.
Lastly, domestic water used for grading or other construction activities is considered a lower
priority. A Stage 3 level requires over a 30 percent reduction in construction water and no po-
table water is allowed for construction related uses at a Stage 4 or 5 rationing level.

Monitoring Plan
In normal water supply conditions, Production figures are recorded daily and incorporated
into both daily and monthly reports. Following each fiscal year, reports documenting water
supply and demand are produced. These records are maintained by the production and Stor-
age Supervisor and reviewed by the Director of Operations.
During a drought additional reports are produced and monthly target goals are established.
The status of our drought efforts are summarized by the Director of Operations and presented
monthly to our Board of Directors. Appendix D includes copies of these reports.
.During a disaster shortage, production figures are reported hourly to the Director of Opera-
tions and General Manager. This information is then compiled into reports that will be given
to the Board of Directors and Emergency Services Offices.

Revenue Sources and Requirements
The District's normal annual income is $12.2 million, most of which comes from billing con-
sumers for base rate and commodity charges. As figure 5-1 shows, these two components
make up over three-quarters of the total revenue. Other revenue sources include taxes, inter-
est, hydro -electric power sales, reclaimed and construction water sales, and other miscelia-
neous sources. We have not included revenues received from developers and consumers for
water transmission and storage deficiencies, since they are set aside for a separate purpose.
Table 5-1 shows our current bimonthly rate structure and the drought surcharge, which corre-
sponds to disincentive penalties charged the District under MWD's Incremental Interruption
and Conservation Plan.
Revenue Impacts and Rate. Stabilization
Table 5-2 shows the projected water sales for rationing Stages 3, 4 and 5 for both our re-
claimed and potable water systems. At Stages 4 and 5, sales to the reclaimed system will
drop to the safe yield level from non -potable sources. The impact on revenues and expendi-
tures from reduced water sales at current rates is shown in table 5-3. These revenues and ex-
penditures are based on the allotments described in the previous chapter, assuming no em-
ployee layoffs.
In order to mitigate the financial impacts of a water shortage, the District has established a
5-1
rate stabilization fund; however, even with this fund, it will be necessary to increase commod-
ity charges by 5 percent at Stage 4 and 20 percent at Stage 5 to reduce excessive revenue
losses. Table 5-4 contains predictions of revenues and expenditures with these increased
rates.
Most California water purveyors experiencing water shortages found that it required several
years for consumer GPCD to return to pre -shortage levels; therefore, after a severe or critical
drought it may be necessary for the District to raise, its rates to generate sufficient income. At
a later date, action can be taken if the rate stabilization fund is nearing depletion and it ap-
pears necessary.

Resolution No. 2949 supports the mandatory water conservation measures
instituted by the City's water agencies, who have the.legal ability to
enforce their conservation measures, with compliance methods using
surcharges and using the District Attorney to prosecute as misdemeanor
offenses.
On January 8, 1991, the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) mandated
that its member cities reduce orders for imported water by at least 17%
overall. MWD's increasing concern fiver the persistent lack of
precipitation prompted an emergency meeting on March 4, where they
further increased the overall conservation level to 50%. This will
take effect on April 1 and represents a 30% decrease in water supplies
to the Walnut Valley Water District and West Covina Water Department,
which serve Walnut.
Also on January 8, the City of West Covina enacted an Emergency Water
Conservation Ordinance that provided a mans to restrict the abuse of
water consumption in their city, as well as areas served by their water
department outside the city limits.

Similarly, on January 25, the Walnut Valley Water District (WVWD, the
second of three water retailers fran which residents of Walnut purchase
water, passed a resolution to establish water conservation regulations
for their District customers.
The Southern California Municipal Water District (SCMWD), the third
water retailer serving Walnut, is not a public water agency but a
private company that falls under the jurisdiction of the Public
Utilities Cannission. The SCmM will be contemplating water
regulations for their custcmers in the near future.
Ch1 April 25, 1990, the Walnut City council adopted Resolution No. 2886,
to implement a program of voluntary water conservation to reduce
consumption by 10%. Subsequently, it was. recognized by the City
Council that the water shortage problem was critical because of the
below normal precipitation levels throughout the State.
In an effort to address this problem in a cooperative manner. consistent
with local water retailing agencies' conservation plans F the City
council Water'Conservation Ccainittee and staff met with representatives
from the WVMD and %CV0, who serve the City of Walnut. The SCKO
was invited, but did not participate.
The Ccmmittee discussed the resolutions and ordinances currently
ently being
used to ccmply with the MWD's mandatory reductions., It was
determined that the regulations adopted by the water agencies were
consistent with the voluntary measures currently in place within the
City.
Discussion was held concerning enforcement, and staff was directed to
review enforcement procedures with the City Attorney. It was
subsequently determined that'the laws which govern the current
operations of the water agencies were sufficient to provide enforcement
to gain compliance with adopted water conservation regulations.
CONCLUSION
The city Council Water ccninittee feels that by adopting Resolution No.
2949 to support the purveyor's water conservation measures, it will
help to address the water shortage problem and the flexibility to allow
the water districts to enforce their mandatory water conservation
regulations in the City of Walnut.
The City Council has recognized the need for water conservation in the
past. The present drought conditions make it imperative that
responsible measures be taken at this time to insure the availability
of water in the future.

CONSUMPTION LIMITS AND PENALTIES
Stale 1_ . Minimal Shortage up to 10% Voluntary Program
The Walnut Valley Water District Shall:
* Notify all customers of the water shortage.
* Mail information to every customer explaining the importance of significant
water use reductions.
* Provide technical information to customers on ways to improve efficiency.
* Conduct media campaign to remind consumers of the need to save water.
* Publicize and expand residential retrofit program.
Stage 2 Minimal 5 to 15% Shortage
Imalre •r 'ruar.0
In addition to the actions listed in Stage 1, the District shall establish mandatory al-
lotments and impose a surcharge penalty corresponding to TVMWD's disincentive
charge under the Incremental Interruption and Conservation Plan (currently $1.02 for
each unit of 100 cubic feet or 750 gallons). The allotments are established for residen-
tial meters by averaging neighborhood base year use in each billing area and reducing
by the current conservation goal percentage. This method compares like areas which
have homes similar as to type, size, landscape sophistication and economic location,
and will not penalize those consumers who have been practicing conservation. Com-
mercial and industrial allotments are obtained by using average water use in the base
year and reducing by the corresponding conservation goal while allotments for iniga-
tion meters are established by reducing recorded water use during a similar period in
the base year by the current conservation goal, in effect at the time of billing. All wa-
ter used for construction purposes will be subject to TVMWD's excess use penalty.
In addition, the Walnut Valley Water District shall impose mandatory conservation
measures as outlined in Resolution No. 1-91-150 and enforcement procedures pur-
suant to Resolution No. 4-91-157:
Stade 33 Moderate 15 to 20% Shortage
In addition to the actions listed in the previous stages, the District shall impose a
drought surcharge based on a 20% conservation goal for residential, commercial, in-
dustrial and irrigation water users. Water use for construction activities will be re-
duced by 30%.

Stage 4 Severe 20 to 30% Shortage Mandatory Program
In addition to the actions listed in stages 1 and 2, the District shall impose a drought
surcharge based on a 30% conservation goal for residential uses and 25% for commer-
cial, industrial and irrigation meters. No domestic water will be allowed for grading
operations or other construction activities. No residential lawn, landscape or other turf
area shall be watered more often than every third day nor during the hours between
6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
She 5 Critical 30 to 50% Shortage
Mandatory Proms
In addition to the actions listed in stages 1 and 2, the District shall impose a drought

by a consumer of an application for relief,' take steps to resolve the
application for relief. The Appeals Officer may delegate his/her duties and
responsibilities under this section as appropriate.
(b) The application for relief may include a request that the consumer be relieved,
in whole or in part, from the water use curtailment provisions of District
Resolution 1-91-150.
(c) In determining whether to grant relief, and the nature of any relief, the
Appeals Officer shall take into consideration all relevant factors, including
but not limited to:
1) Whether any reduction in water consumption will result in unemployment;
2) Whether members have been added to the household;
3) Whether any landscaped property has been added to the property since the
corresponding billing period of the prior calendar year;
^ a F . 1 11 pa .-., A�' M n u A, fc`Ranges in vacancy factors in multi -family housing;
} �^ b06 Tdcreased number of employees in commercial, industrial and governmental
pninfalfices;
6) Increased production requiring increased process water;
7) Adjustments to water use caused by emergency health or safety hazards;
8) Water use necessary for reasons related to family illness or health; and
9) Livestock on property.
(d) In order to be considered, an application for relief must be filed in writing
with the District within fifteen (15). days from the date the provision from
which relief is sought becomes applicable to the applicant. No relief shall be
granted unless the consumer shows that he or she has achieved the maximum
practical reduction in water consumption other .than in the specific areas in
which relief is being sought. No relief shall be granted to any consumer who,
when requested by the, Appeals Officer, fails to provide any information
necessary for resolution of the consumer's application for relief.
(e) The appeals procedure shall consist of the following steps:
1) The first level of appeal shall be a. hearing before the Appeals Officer,
or designee, scheduled within a reasonable period of time following filing
of the application for relief. No formal rules of 'evidence apply. All
evidence customarily relied upon by reasonable persons in the conduct of
serious business affairs will be allowed and. the consumer may present any
such evidence which shows the alleged wasteful water use has not occurred.
Filing of an application will not prevent discontinuance of service or
imposition of any other penalties. To avoid penalties or discontinuance
of service, water bills must be paid under protest, pending conclusion of
the appeals process. The decision of the Appeals Officer will be given in
writing to the consumer within fifteen (15) days of the appeal hearing. A
consumer whose request for relief has been denied shall have the right to
appeal to the second level, provided a written request has been made
within fifteen (15) days following the date of mailing of the decision

tgfcer s c�ecfs�on by the General Manager or designee. Should relief from
compliance be denied at this level, the consumer shall have the right to
appeal to the third level, provided a written request has been made within
fifteen (15) days following the date of mailing of the decision rendered
by the General Manager or designee.
3) The third level of appeal shall consist of a hearing before the Board of
Directors' Appeals Committee (Committee). Upon receipt of a written
