Moved by C/Schad, seconded by C/Flamenbaum to continue the item to November 14, 1994. 3. ADOPTION OF THE GENERAL PLAN CDD/DeStefano stated that staff has compiled all of the changes that the Planning Commission has recommended to date using the format which has been utilized since the process began in July, 1994. In addition to members of the Commission, this document has been distributed to approximately 70 interested parties. In addition, staff has provided a copy of the addendum to the Environmental Impact Report and a copy of the Draft Resolution recommending City Council approval of the Draft General Plan. CDD/DeStefano recommends that the Planning Commission review the General Plan invite public testimony as is deemed October 17, 1994 Page 3 Planning Commission appropriate prior to the Commission's final decision on the document. Chair/Meyer stated that the Planning Commission received a letter from the Los Angeles Area Council for the Boy Scouts of America requesting a modification in the land use designation of their property within the Commission's sphere of influence. In addition, the Commission has received two letters from the SASAK Corporation indicating discomfort in the Land Use Designation of their property, and one letter from Bramalea indicating dissatisfaction for the proposed Land Use Designation of their property. CDD/DeStefano indicated that Bramalea and SASAK are asking for a Land Use Designation of RL with a PD attachment. ICA/Montgomery reported that he has answered the letters with respect to the issue of "taking" and does not feel there is a "taking" with the present Land Use Designation. C/Flamenbaum stated that he has met with Mr. Johnson from Bramalea and it is his understanding that Bramalea seeks to execute the MOU as a combined PD/OS designation. CDD/DeStefano responded that the property has a development restriction and Bramalea's belief is that it is does -not constitute an Open Space easement. The current PD/OS designation on the Map does not permit them to develop the Memorandum of Understanding. Bramalea would prefer a residential density and open space under a planned development overlay which would allow them to develop according to the Memorandum of Understanding. Responding to C/Flamenbaum, CDD/DeStefano cited Tres Hermanos as the example for Agricultural Specific Plan, the intent of the designation in the General Plan is Agricultural. However, in the future and with increasing development pressure it is anticipated that the landowner will wish to pursue development of the property. When that occurs, the City will request a specific plan. Chair/Meyer is correct in stating that at some point, a General Plan change would be required. ICA/Montgomery stated that if Bramalea has a Map Restricted Open Space they would have to have a General Plan, "A Zone" and a Public Hearing which would permit them to modify the designation. CDD/DeStefano stated the Bramalea property on Diamond Bar Boulevard consists of approximately 50 acres of residentially I r4hu October 17, 1994 Page 4 Planning Commission zoned property that is not restricted by Map or Deed notations. The developer also has several hundred restricted acres on either side of the 50 acres. The MOU attempts to allow for development on about 70 of those High Crest acres which will allow for up to 130 homes. In exchange for this, the City is to receive all of the perimeter open space as public land. If the Planning Commission is interested in this concept, CDD/DeStefano indicated that the Commission may wish to designate the use of the property more specifically RR/OS/PD and indicate that the 70 acres along High Crest would be permitted a maximum of 130-135 dwelling units. Chair/Meyer asked if the current Land Use Designation prohibits the developer from filing an application or specific plan on the entire 400 acres. CDD/DeStefano responded that it does not. Chair/Meyer declared the Public Hearing open on the Draft General Plan. Max Maxwell, 3211 Bent Twig Lane, Diamond Bar, stated he feels specific planned development is an opportunity to abuse any part of the program and suggests that the designation for Bramalea be OS and RR -where specific building is planned. ' Responding to Mr. Maxwell, Chair/Meyer pointed out that the strip of land along the .freeway in the South Pointe Master Plan has been designated Public Right -of -Way. Mr. Maxwell stated that he believes the RL designation on the Land Use Map should be modified so that Lot 61 can be seen as touching Grand Avenue. The Tres Hermans plan is acceptable because they have been working on a specific plan. Responding to Mr. Maxwell, Chair/Meyer stated that with respect to the Boy Scout area in Tonner Canyon, Agriculture designation had been dropped. Mr. Maxwell stated that this is not acceptable and recommends the designation be returned to Agriculture. Regarding the General Plan, Page 1 Introduction, Mr. Maxwell says he believes the first line, which was stricken by the Planning Commission should be put back in. He also stated that the significant ecological area on the West side of the 57 near the Brea Canyon cutoff is farther North than shown'on ,y Page S. , . _. October 17, 1994 Page 5 Planning Commission On Page I-2, referring to the 2,751 acres left to be developed, Mr. Maxwell stated he believes this figure is incorrect. Responding to Mr. Maxwell, Ms. Warner indicated that she used the figures which were available. Chair/Meyer asked that this be reviewed and verified. On Page I-4 and I-5, Mr. Maxwell pointed out that it appears that nothing has been done about Parks and Recreation and Open Space in separating it. He feels that these are two separate issues and would like to see it broken_ out and separated in the Chart. Mr. Maxwell continued to Page I-7 referring to Map and Deed Restrictions, he stated that the paragraph under issue analysis in the middle of the page should be stricken. Referring to the last paragraph, Mr. Maxwell says he believes transfer of development rights should be sold. Mr. Maxwell stated that he wants "encourage development of Gated Communities" dropped from the General Plan. Referring to Page VI -6, Strategy 2.1.1 "promote the intensification of the sales tax generating potential of existing future -commercial areas within the City", Mr. Maxwell says, in his opinion, this needs to be rephrased. On Page I-8, freeway visibility should have been addressed and specify which parcels are freeway visible, Mr. Maxwell stated. Responding to Mr. Maxwell's confusion regarding changes, CDD/DeStefano referred Mr. Maxwell to the notation on the cover of the General Plan which has been used since inception. Mr. Maxwell stated he believes that the last sentence, Page I- 10 Strategies: 1.1.1 a. "The dwelling units per acre in RURAL RESIDENTIAL (RR) zone shall be dependent upon topography (slope grade) as shown in Table 1-3." should be left in the General Plan. Referring to Page I-11, f. fourth line "at 25 percent." Mr. Maxwell stated that 25 percent is way too high and should start in a 15 to 20 percent bracket. Page I-12, 1.1.8 should be eliminated from the General Plan, Mr. Maxwell stated. Mr. Maxwell indicated that Page I-13, Strategies 1.2.5, won't sell in Diamond Bar. I ��C�1i riu Iv, I[ 11u�l" October 17, 1994 Page 6 Planning'Commission�� Mr. Maxwell stated he hopes the Planning Commission will delete Page 3-14, Strategies 1.3.2. Chair/Meyer asked Mr. Maxwell if he feels Diamond Bar business should not be visible from the freeway. Responding to Chair/Meyer, Mr. Maxwell stated that Diamond Bar is a bedroom community and there are specific areas such'as the Gateway Center which was supposed to have been fully developed. Chair/Meyer pointed out that there has been a recession. Responding to Mr. Maxwell's confusion regarding the General Plan document, Chair/Meyer stated that the Planning Commission has been asked to deliver a document to the City Council in the manner presented and that staff has been following the original outline. Mr. Maxwell continuing to Page I-17, 1.5.5, land entitlements, stated that he feels this is wrong. Mr. Maxwell pointed out on Page V-12, second paragraph, fourth line that "three travel lanes" should read "four or five travel lanes". Regarding Page VI -3, C. third paragraph, Mr. Maxwell asked if the sentence, "A master drainage plan will need to be developed for the City and its sphere of influence." refers to Tonner Canyon as part of the sphere of influence. Mr. Maxwell stated that he will provide a copy of the Walnut Tree ordinance for the Commission's review. He feels a Hillside Ordinance or,Tree ordinance should be implemented in Diamond Bar immediately and included in the General Plan. Robert Huff, 1641 Fire Hollow, Diamond Bar stated he believes most citizens are in favor of the Memorandum of Understanding from Bramalea; however, there is concern that they will somehow get around the memorandum and develop the property even further. He stated that he would caution the Commission not to restrict Bramalea's ability to enact the MOU and would encourage the Commission to consider CDD/DeStefano's recommendation of RR/OS/PD which would accomplish both objectives. Referring to Land Use, Mr. Huff indicated that the General Plan is more restrictive that he would like to see. In the Circulation Element, Page V-18 and V-19 regarding bicycle October 17, 1994 Page 7 Planning Commission trails it appeared that the Traffic and Transportation Commission had indicated Grand Avenue as a possible bike route. Responding to Mr. Huff, C/Flamenbaum stated that V-18 and V-19 refer to current bike routes and that there are several instances in the General Plan where the verbiage "put more bike routes in" occurs. Chair/Meyer added the Plan also indicates "to hook up with the regional system", as well. Chair/Meyer referred Mr. Huff to Page V-28, Strategy 1.2.8. Mr. Huff, referring to Page V-26, Strategy 1.1.4, stated that he understands why the plan is restrictive with respect to Tonner Canyon. However, he feels that an environmentally sensitive by-pass road should be located somewhere in the area as one of the solutions to the long-term traffic problems in Diamond Bar area. Mr._ Huff closed by stating that he feels the document has been improved by the Planning Commission and offered his thanks for the Commission's efforts. Responding to Chair/Meyer,. CDD/DeStefano stated that he is not aware of anything in the Circulation Element which would preclude review of a by-pass road in conjunction with a specific plan for Tres Hermanos. The larger issue is whether a road goes in and where it does because each of the involved cities has a completely different view. Max Maxwell, 3211 Bent Twig Lane, Diamond Bar requested the Commission to recommend to the City Council that the General Plan be placed on the ballot. There being no one else wishing to speak, Chair/Meyer closed the public hearing and returned the matter to the Planning Commission for consideration. RECESS: Chair/Meyer recessed the meeting at 8:32 p.m. RECONVENE: Chair/Meyer reconvened the meeting at 8:48 p.m. 3. ADOPTION OF THE GENERAL PLAN, continued. Responding to Chair/Meyer, CDD DeStefano recommended f improvements to the Acknowledgements page to include some other staff members. IIII I, f ii October 17, 1994 Page 8 Planning Commission ,da, Regarding Page 11 of the Introduction, I. GENERAL PLAN FORMAT, the first line should be amended to read: "The 1994 Diamond Bar Draft General Plan is divided into three documents . for ease of reference" and add " Document 3" sub -heading "Master Environmental Assessment (adopted 7/14/92)." Add to the last sentence under Item #2, "and is incorporated as referenced as part of the 1994 General Plan." CDD/DeStefano indicated that the List of Tables and List of Figures within the Land Use Element needs to have language to make the tables consistent with the tables within the text. Table I-1 should read: "Citywide Existing Land Uses; Table I-2 should read: "Sphere of Influence Existing Land Uses" Table I-4 should read: "Land Use Development Capacity Summary." Page I-28, Land Use Element, third paragraph, Item 2,.third line should be corrected to read. For example, Figure I-3 illustrates that a 10,000 square foot building on'a 40,000 square foot lot yields a FAR of 0.25:1." Page I-11, Land Use Element, strategy 1.1.1 f., eliminate the ^yii last five words so that the last sentence read: "Average slope is defined as follows:" Page I-12, 1.1.6, sixth line change the sentence to read: "This designation carries with it a maximum development potential of one single family unit per existing parcel unless construction was previously restricted or prohibited on such properties by the County of Los Angeles." CDD/DeStefano stated that within 1.1.6, sub -section a. is already stated in the Resource Management Element, fourth bullet on Page III -11. Staff recommends that it be eliminated from the Land Use Element. The following are generally clean-up items: Under Land Use Element I-17, change Strategy 1.5.4 to 1.5.3; eliminate the words "Move to Page III -10, Objective 1.2, Strategy 1.2.�" following Strategy 1.5.5, which has been eliminated; under Strategy 1.5.6, delete (combined w/1.5.4); following strategy 1.5.5 strike (1.2.9 moved from I-13 & I-16). Staff further recommends that the Planning Commission discuss the Boy Scouts''request, the Bramalea request, and the SASAK request. With respect to the Map, Page I-25, the Commission may wish to redesignate the South Coast Air Quality Management District 7 i �m p October 17, 1994 Page 9 Planning Commission W Building as a Public Facilities Land Use classification. The real issue is the Commission's vision for the future of Diamond Bar and whether you envision SCAQMD being here fifteen to twenty years from now. In addition, the area of the,Post Office should also be designated a Public Facility. It is presently designated as Commercial Office. Regarding Table I-4 on Page I-26, staff has provided the Planning Commission with an errata sheet with the proper calculations which match the text and match the Housing Element. Following discussion by the Planning Commission, a motion was made by C/Flamenbaum and seconded by Chair/Meyer to leave the Land Use Designation for South Coast Air Quality Management, as shown on the map. The motion carried 4-1 with roll call as follows: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Fong, Schad, Flamenbaum Chair/Meyer NOES: COMMISSIONERS: VC/Plunk ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: None In response to Chair/Meyer, CDD/DeStefano stated that, from staff's perspective it is important to implement the Memorandum of Understanding with respect to the Bramalea property. For purposes of clarification the Commission may wish to designate the property RR/OS/ with the PD and add the following strategy: "Encourage formation of a Planned Development, or a Specific Plan, for approximately 400 acres located East of Diamond Bar Boulevard, North of Grand Avenue, South of Gold Rush, and at the terminus of High Crest Avenue. Appropriate land uses may include 135 units of single family residences concentrated along the anticipated extension 'of High Crest Avenue, with the balance of the property to remain in Open Space uses." Following discussion, a motion was made by C/Flamenbaum and seconded by Chair/Meyer to change the designation on the two Bramalea parcels to RR/RL/OS/SP. Following discussion, the motion was modified by C/Flamenbaum to RR/OS/SP. Chair/Meyer restated the motion as follows: The portion of i land which is designated RR and consists of 50 acres will be j increased to 70 acres and the designation changed'to RL/SP, and to change the designation from PD/OS to OS/F on the remaining land. The motion as modified and restated was October 17, 1994 Page 10 Planning Commission seconded by C/Schad. The motion carried 4-1 with the roll call as follows: AYES: COMMISSIONERS Fong, Flamenbaum, Schad, Chair/Meyer NOES: COMMISSIONERS: VC/Plunk ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: -COMMISSIONERS: None A motion was made by C/Flamenbaum and seconded by C/Schad to adopt a strategy as follows: Strategy 1.6.5, Page I-18, Land Use Element and renumber the existing 1.6.5 as 1.6.6'. "Develop a specific plan for the 400 acres known as the Bramalea property located East of Diamond Bar Boulevard, North of Grand Avenue, South of Gold Rush, and at the Terminus of High Crest Avenue.

Responding to a discussion by members of the Planning Commission, CDD/DeStefano stated that the Boy Scouts are asking for an AG/SP designation, which is similar to Tres Hermanos. A motion was made by C/Fong and seconded by C/Schad to change the Boy Scout Land Use designation as AG/SP. The motion carried 4-1 with roll call as follows: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: NOES: COMMISSIONERS: ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: Fong, Schad, VC/Plunk, Chair/Meyer Flamenbaum None None October 17, 1994 Page 11 Planning Commission E t CDD/DeStefano added the following item to staff's recommended corrections: Mr. Maxwell is correct in stating that Lots 1 and 61 should both be designated OS. Page I-9 of the Land Use Element, Section 2.a. Natural Resources, add to the last sentence after the word "resources" the following: "or on areas subject to hazards such as flooding (refer to flood hazards map in the Master Environmental Assessment." On Page I-27 of the Land Use Element, Table I-5, add a column entitled "Population at General Plan Buildout" 1156,600 persons" and add footnote 01(5) Population based on 3.17 persons per occupied dwelling unit." CDD/DeStefano stated that the present population'of Diamond Bar is approximately 55,000. Referring to the Housing Element, Page II -15, CDD/DeStefano indicated that Table II -4 which is on the first Page II -15, be renumbered Page II -15a, and where the TOTALS are indicated at the bottom of the table, new corrected figures will be entered based upon the revised calculations. Under Land Use Category Specific Plan, eliminate one of the (1) and change footnote (2) to footnote (1). The Unit Totals will be changed to approximately 1,213 with the Bramalea number added. The next page, also known as Page II -15 should be renumbered Page II -15b. Page II -22 with the text becomes II -22a and the next page with the map which is also numbered II -22 becomes II -22b. CDD/DeStefano reported that concludes the changes to the Housing Element. RECESS: Chair/Meyer recessed the meeting at 10:18 p.m. RECONVENE: Chair/Meyer reconvened the meeting at 10:28 p.m. CDA/DeStefano indicated the following changes to the Resource Management Element: Page III -5, Item 4.

Water Resources, fifth line, the end of the sentence that says "in x excess of these levels." add a sentence to read: A discussion of peak demand water supply requirements is contained in the 6 Master Environmental Assessment." October 17, 1994 Page 12 Planning commissionfij'j q�fpf,I C/Flamenbaum suggested that on Page III -5, Item 4. Water Resources, second paragraph, line seven that "on the order" be deleted so that the sentence reads: (Beginning at line five) "A Master Plan of Water is being prepared by the Walnut Valley Water Municipal District which estimates a buildout population for Diamond Bar of approximately 75,000 residents, which it higher than the estimated buildout of the City. Moving to Public Health and Safety Element, Page IV -2 under Item 1. Geology and Seismicity, third paragraph, end of the first sentence, staff directs the Planning Commission to add the following sentence: "A discussion and maps of geologic hazards are contained in the Master Environmental Assessment." Page IV -3, under Item 5. Emergency Services and Facilities, add a final sentence to the paragraph which reads: "Minimum road widths and clearances around structures as related to emergency access and fire prevention are specified in .the City Code." CDD/DeStefano concluded his remarks with respect to the Public Health and Safety Element and moved to the Circulation Element,'Page V-1. At the bottom of the page indicating "The Circulation Element addresses the following issues: add'a sentence after ". Goods Movement" which reads: Public Services and Facilities are described separately in the Public Services and Facilities Element." on Page V-28, under Strategy 2.1.8 which discusses the bikeways and based upon the earlier discussion, staff recommends adding the following: "The City shall develop',a Master Plan of Bikeways." iIn response to questions from the Commission, City Engineer Mike Meyers stated that "bikeways" is the more common term to include bike paths and all of the Class I, Class II and Class III. Some are bike lanes, bike paths, etc. and bikeways is the common term; however, we are using bike -routes in our Designated Bicycle Routes Map so it could be stated either way. i CDD/DeStefano stated that this concludes recommended changes from staff. Regarding the Environmental addendum, Chair/Meyer questioned the validity of Page 12, second from last paragraph, 1994 General Plan (Impact: Significant but mitigable) The 1994 General Plan Land Use Element begins with this sentence: "It October 17, 1994 Page 13 Planning Commission is the desire of the City of Diamond bar to maintain a rural and country living environment." Chair/Meyer further requested that Page 13, third paragraph, line 5, (3) be corrected to read: "replace fresh drinking water for wildlife when natural water areas are removed or blocked;" also seen in the Resource Management Element, Page III -11, bullet four. Chair/Meyer asked if Page 13, third paragraph, line 8, (5) had been modified. CDD/DeStefano responded that a similarly worded strategy was kept in the General Plan, Page I-17, 1.5.3. Chair/Meyer questioned the verbiage _an Page 15, second paragraph, fourth line, (1). CDD/DeStefano responded that the wording is found on Page VI - 5, Strategy 1.1.6, as follows: "Require all new housing development in Diamond Bar to be CONNECTED TO a public sewage system." i I CDD/DeStefano indicated a typographical error on Page 1 of the Addendum Number 2 under (a) (1) and that it should be corrected to read: None of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for a preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred;" Chair/Meyer referred to the Draft Resolution No. 94 -XX, Page 3, item d. and indicated that the Commission is presenting a recommended 1994 Draft, that the words "as amended" should be stricken so that the paragraph reads: "The 1994 Draft General Plan is consistent with the State of California policies, rules, regulations, and guidelines;" Also on Page 3, paragraph 3 and 4, lines 3 and 3 and 4 respectively, strike "as amended". C/Schad indicated that he would like a request for Tree Ordinance placed on a future Planning Commission agenda. C/Fong indicated the following changes and corrections: Under Land Use Element, Page I-4, Table I-1, under Parks/Rec the Percentage of Total City Acres seems to be incorrect and therefore, the totals do not add to 100% and insert "City in the far right column heading so that it read: "Percent of Total City Acres". October 17, 1994 Page 14 Planning Commission Page I-5, under bottom left hand column TOTAL, underline' (Within Sphere of .Influence) and strike the underline from the second column total of 3,591.0. Page I-16, Strategy 1.4.6 and 1.4.7 add an (s) to school at the end of each sentence. Page I-19, Strategy 2.1.1 a. add to the end of the sentence, 'I "and properly addressed." so that it reads: "Prior to approving new development or the intensification of existing j development within the City of Diamond Bar, ensure that the environmental consequences of the proposed action have been j recognized and properly addressed." Page I-24 F. Land Use Plan, fourth line, strike the second "Table" after Use Plan Development Capacity Summary Table and under second paragraph of 1. Land Use Designation, verify the number 15 land use designations. CDD/DeStefano responded that it should read 16 land use designations. C/Fong continued to Page I-26 and I-27 of the Land Use Element and suggested that the Table's should be renumbered to I-3 and I-4 respectively, and that the Dwelling & Units column heading on Page I-26 should be fixed to show Dwelling on one line. With respect to the Housing Element, C/Fong offered the following changes: On Page II -22b, remove Brea Canyon Cutoff from the map. G C/Fong suggested the following changes in the Public Health and Safety Element: Page IV -2, B. 1. Geology and Seismicity, restate the first sentence to read as follows: "Diamond Bar is located in a dynamic geological region, underlain by several thousand feet of sediments which were laid down over the last 25 million years." Following the first sentence of Paragraph 3 on Page IV -2, B. j 1. add a sentence to read: "A discussion and map of geological hazards are contained in the Master Environmental Assessment."
