week trash and graffiti removal in this area. The cost
for the contract amendment is $193.50 per month. For the
remainder of the 1996/97 FY, October 1, 1996 through June
30, 1997, the cost will be $1,742.

Park in an amount not to exceed $2,322, for a total

necessary to complete the representation of the City
regarding the Days Hotel litigation. The City entered

RE: Consideration of Change of Name for the "Diamond
Bar Redevelopment Agency"
Subsequent to activation of the Redevelopment Agency, it has been known and
referred to as "Diamond Bar Redevelopment Agency." At our meeting of July 2,
1996, Vice Chairman Huff suggested that:
"... the Agency name be changed to the "Economic Development
Agency of Diamond Bar," which, in his opinion, better defines the role of
the Agency."
The matter of a name change was referred to the Redevelopment
Subcommittee for its review and report back to the Board.
RECOMMENDATION
The Subcommittee has reviewed and considered alternative names by which
the Agency may be known. Considering that the name change was to establish
a moniker that best describes the community and purpose of the Agency, the
Subcommittee recommends as follows:
The name of the "Diamond Bar Redevelopment Agency" shall be
changed to: "Diamond Bar Community Improvement Agency," or by
its short title "DBCIA."

The Escrow Associates of San Gabriel Vjwicti—lvitll'AW ll a Escrow Association, is requesting
your support in proclaiming the mo of October as "ESCROW MONTH".
The Escrow Associates of San Gabriel Valley is comprised of individual escrow professionals, whose daily
activities include processing escrow transactions involving real and personal property transfers.
We follow legislation and provide input as to any new proposed laws and monitor various legal cases in an effort to
keep our members abreast of legal trends which may impact the escrow process.
Education is our primary concern; our Association holds seminars and workshops for both the experienced escrow
officer and the entry level person just beginning. Our devotion to education is not limited to the escrow practitioner;
programs are held for various high schools, public interest groups, and are given to the real estate community so that
they may better serve their clients.
With this continual update on case law and current legislation, our members are better able to serve the public in
what may be their most important financial endeavor - the purchase of a home or business.
The California Escrow Association holds its annual education conference in October, which is attended by many of
our members. Your proclamation will increase public awareness of our efforts. A sample proclamation has been
enclosed for your convenience; please feel free to use your own wording.
We would like to display your proclamation at our October meeting and would appreciate an early response. We
will arrange for one of our members to be in attendance if you wish to make a presentation at one of your meetings.
in the event you require additional information or would like to discuss this matter fin-ther, please contact the
undersigned at (818)799-8998 ext. 410.

Diamond Bar, California 91765
Dear Mayor Ansari:
In October, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department will participate in the annual
"October is National Crime Prevention Month." This year's theme, "Safer Communities,
Brighter Futures," reflects the strong belief that communities must continue to drive crime
out of our streets and neighborhoods, and bring back hope for a better future.
"October is National Crime Prevention Month" is an opportunity to forge partnerships for
change --neighborhoods, communities, law enforcement, school, churches, businesses, local
cities and the County --collaborations that will help prevent crime and reach out more to young
people as resources against crime.
In an attempt to make this a county -wide effort, I have requested the Los Angeles County
Board of Supervisors to proclaim "October is National Crime Prevention Month." I would
like you to join us by adopting a proclamation at your next Council meeting. I have enclosed
a sample for your review.
1 thank you for your ongoing endeavors in fighting crime and making our neighborhoods a
safer and better place to live.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to call Natalie Macias, Director of my
Community/Law Enforcement Partnership Program, at (213) 526-5015.
Sincerely,
SHERMAN BLOCK

A PROCLAMATION
FOR
CRIME PREVENTION MONTH 1996

keep our homes, neighborhoods, work places, and communities;
Whereas, crime and fear diminish our trust in others and in our
institutions, threatening the community's health and prosperity;
Whereas, people of all ages must be made aware of what they can
do to prevent themselves, their families, neighbors, and co-workers
from being harmed by drugs, violence, and other crimes;
Whereas, the personal injury, financial loss, and community
deterioration resulting from crime are intolerable and require action
by the whole community;
Whereas, effective crime prevention programs excel because of
partnerships among law enforcement, other government agencies,
civic groups, schools, businesses, and individuals as they help to
rebuild a sense of communal responsibility and shared pride;
Whereas, crime prevention initiatives are more than self-protection
and security, but must promote community partnerships, healthy
neighborhoods, and positive alternatives to youth delinquency and
drug use and engage youth to improve communities;
Now, Therefore, I (name of leader), (title), do hereby proclaim
October 1996 as Crime Prevention Month in (name of area) and
urge all citizens, government agencies, public and private
institutions, and businesses to increase their participation in our
community's crime prevention efforts and thereby build more
productive communities and improved quality of life for all.

4. CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC COMMENTS: Paul Gonzales, CalTrans District VIII,
San Bernardino, indicated that Public Hearings will be held at Prado Elementary School, August
28, and Prado Regional Park, August 29 from 4:00 p.m to 8:00 p.m. regarding the Riverside
portion of the SR 71 closure scheduled for June 15 through October 15, 1997. CalTrans will not
designate Grand Ave. as. a detour during this project The main detour route proposed is Euclid
Ave. from Chino and Chino Hills.
M/Ansari asked what guarantees CalTrans can make that Chino and Chino Hills residents
will not use Grand Ave. as a detour.
Mr. Gonzales responded that there are no guarantees
In response to C/Harmony, Mr. Gonzales explained that the Riverside closure area extends
from Euclid Ave. to the SR 71/SR 91 interchange (the Butterfield Ranch development south to the
91 fwy). The San Bernardino detour will begin December, 1996 and continue until the Riverside
closure.
C/Wemer asked what guarantees CalTrans can make if the issue of access via
Diamond Bar's Grand Avenue is raised as a mitigation solution to traffic backup from the
closure of the SR 71, whether CalTrans would indicate that such a mitigation is not
available.
In response, AN. Gonzales explained that the ElR is the subject of a public hearing.
If a change is suggested that the City of Diamond Bar would be noifSed and would have an
opportunity to rebut the suggested change.
CJWernersuggested that staff attend the scheduled public hearings for the purpose
of monitoring the possibiflty of Grand Avenue being added to the detour plans as an
interim mfdgadon measure.
Gary Neely asked Mr. Gonzales to have the "Chino Hills Next Exit" signs on the north and
south SR 57 and SR 60 interchange at Grand Ave. removed.
9.1 STANDARD AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR HOUSE NUMBER PAINTING -
ACM/Usher explained that the City can require a contractor to print their City Permit number and
wonoay, aeptemaer n, ' T-116 1 U:44:'Community Development Consulting Service Page 2 of 4
City Hall telephone number for confirmation on the resident's notification. Upon approval, notice of
the new program will be printed in the Citys newsletter and indicated on City -On -Line.
!n response to ClHarmony, DPW/Liu stated that staff reviewed the programs for
Alhambra West Covina and L.A. County and recommended that a $1,000 deposit is reasonable
for the permittee based upon anticipated revenue. The applicant is required to provide the City with
street names and the number of residences when applying for the permit.
C/Harmony stated that he was concerned about creating a hardship on a marginal
industry.
ACM/Usher reported that 3 organizations outside D.B. have indicated an interest
in performing the work.
In response to C/Werner, DPW/Liu stated that about two months ago, staff
received approximately 10 complaints from citizens in each area. The City has no knowledge or
control of the number of residences that were contacted for street number painting since no permit
was obtained.
In response to MPT/Huff, ACM/Usher explained that firms usually ask $6-8 per
residence for painting street numbers on the curb. A million dollar liability policy requirement is not
unusual or exceptional_ Cities must be provided adequate liability coverage by anyone conducting
work in the public right-of-way.
C/Herrera-asked if the $1,000 deposit would be returned upon satisfactory
completion of work.
ACM/Usher stated that staff time for inspection work would be charged against the
deposit. The balance will be returned to the permittee. The policy provides that the permittee must
paint all numbers within a zone with payment by the homeowner/resident being voluntary.
Dr Rhodes recommended street number painting for commercial business and
that the City consider painting house numbers on a certain number of roofs for visibility by
helicopter patrol.
Mrs. Bruske suggested the City maintain and pay for the street numbering service.
Mr. Van Winkle echoed Mrs. Bruske's suggestion.
C/Wemer stated that the staff proposal was "a bureuacratic overkill" of an issue
and a business that should not be subject to such stiff and expensive fees and regulations. He
indicated that there are many local service clubs that are available in Diamond Bar and that could
benefit from the revenues that can be generated by this service He further indicated that local
service clubs cannot afford the expensive liability insurance or the $9,000 permit fee that is being
required by this proposal. C/Wemer moved to continue the item for additional information. Motion
died for lack of a second.
M/Ansae moved, C/Herrera seconded, to approve the Standards and
Specifications for House Number Painting with Council review of the program one year from date of
approval. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote:

12 COUNCIL COMMENTS: C/Werner stated that he had received an
E -Mail regarding 'overnight parking on residential streets" which referenced the fact that there are
no L.A. County regulations regarding parking and overnight occupancy of recreational vehicles on
residential streets. He suggested that staff present an "Overnight Parking" report to Council for
consideration. C/Werner also stated that he has heard discussions around town that staff is
preparing a draft overnight parking ordinance for presentation to the Traffic and Transporation
Commission. He asked for explanation from staff who directed staff to prepare such an ordinance
and why the matter is scheduled before the Traffic and Transporation Commission.
CM Belanger explained that the issue first came up before the City Council when a local
resident complained to the Council during public comments about commercial vehicles being
parked on the street in her neighborhood He further stated that independent of the complaint
just mentioned, that the Traffic and Transportation Commission has received several additional
complaints and a petition. The Commission requested staff to schedule the matter for their review
and consideration.
In response to M/Ansate, CDD/DeStefano stated that, as a result of public input, Council
held a discussion concerning overnight parking on residential streets about 2-4 weeks ago.

SEPTEMBER 3, 1996 PAGE 3
In response to M/Ansari, PWD/Wentz explained that Walnut Valley Water District
indicated that they would not be providing reclaimed water above that particular
elevation within the next ten years.
In response to MPT/Huff, PWDNVentz responded that the 850' restriction is due to
the water district's inability to deliver water to a maximum elevation based upon their
tank elevations and pump capability.
MPT/Huff asked if the water district could deliver water from a proposed reclaimed
water lake on the Tres Hermanos property to the proposed site.

south and the pumps could pump the water to Mr. Yeh's property elevation.

CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR EXPRESSING
SUPPORT OF AB 1647 (BUSTAMANTE).
MATTERS WITHDRAWN FROM CONSENT CALENDAR:
6.3 PLAN CHECK CHECKING SERVICES TO CHARLES ABBOTT
ASSOCIATES FOR VESTING TENTATIVE MAP 32400/52203
IMPROVEMENT PLANS AND FINAL MAPS - In response to
C/Harmony, ACM/Usher stated that Council's direction with respect to
contract rotation was relative to projects under staffs jurisdiction
between $1 and $10,000. Firms awarded contracts in excess of
$10,000 approved by Council, would be evaluated by staff on their
ability to perform the work in question. Staffs conclusion is that
Charles Abbott Assoc. is the firm most qualified to handle the
geological and geotechnical issues related to this proposed tract.
M/Ansari concurred with C/Harmony's concern for rotation and that
RKA has not been awarded as many contracts as other companies.
She indicated it appears the Council's wishes were not carried out in
this instance and she wanted to make sure that the City was being fair
in awarding these contracts.
ACM/Usher responded that he understood that RKA would be the
next firm selected for a contract award between $5,000 and $10,000.
In response to C/Wemer, ACM/Usher responded that although no bid
was sought, staff considered rates charged for specific types of work
related to the issues of concern regarding the specific tract. Staff was
most concerned about the firm's qualifications to perform the specific
work involved relative to the tract development. The City has received
the developer's deposit and has expressed no opposition to use of
Charles Abbott Associates. All costs will be assumed by the
developer.
Responding to M/Ansari, ACM/Usher stated that including an RFP in
the process would delay the project approximately one month.
Responding to C/Harmony, ACA/Susskind stated that the Code
requires bidding of purchase of equipment and services over $10,000.
She agreed that in the case of services paid as a result of set
AUGUST 20, 1996 PAGE 4
resolution fees, it is pointless to have a bid procedure.
C/Harmony felt that if the Council approved this contract award, it
would be violating the City's Purchasing Ordinance.
C/Herrera opposed continuing this item. The matter of rotation is an
item for another discussion. Staff made a recommendation based
upon their knowledge of the consultant's expertise in this -specific
matter.
C/Herrera moved, MPT/Huff seconded, to award plan checking
services for VTM 32400/52203 improvement plans and final maps to
Charles Abbott Assoc., in an amount not to exceed $49,470.19.
MPT/Huff stated that the intent of the previous Council, as he
understood it was to have a systematic rotation of these consultants.
He pointed out that Charles Abbott Assoc was second to the last in
amount of contracts received through this system in the lower tier
Nobs He agreed that there seemed to be minor inequities: however,
there was no need to continue this matter to the next meeting.
Motion failed by the following Roll Call vote:
AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Herrera, MPT/Huff
NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Harmony, M/Ansari
ABSTAIN: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Werner

6.4 ADOPTED RESOLUTION NO. 96-59: A RESOLUTION OF THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR INSTALLING A

whether the stop sian proposed to be installed is consistent with
proper traffic engineering policies.
DPW/ Liu responded affirmatively.
CWerner then clarified whether the stop sign was proposed by Ms.
Debbie O'Connor anCd/or by others in the neighborhood.
DPW/Liu indicated that several neighbors in the area have expressed
AUGUST 20, 1996 PAGE 5
interest in the installation of a stop sign at the location proposed.
C/Werner moved, WAnsari seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 96-59
approving installation of a stop sign at the intersecting leg of
Minnequa Drive at Bower Cascade Place. Motion carried by the
following Roll Call vote:
AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Harmony, Herrera, Werner,
MPT/Huff, M/Ansari
NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None
ABSTAIN: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None
7. PUBLIC HEARINGS: None
8. OLD BUSINESS: None
4. CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC COMMENTS: Paul Gonzales, CalTrans
District VIII, San Bernardino, indicated that Public Hearings will be held at
Prado Elementary School, August 28, and Prado Regional Park, August 29
from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. regarding the Riverside portion of the SR 71
closure scheduled for June 15 through October 15, 1997. CalTrans will not
designate Grand Ave. as a detour during this project. The main detour route
proposed is Euclid Ave. from Chino and Chino Hills.
M/Ansari asked what guarantees CalTrans can make that Chino and Chino
Hills residents will not use Grand Ave. as a detour.
Mr. Gonzales responded that there are no guarantees.
In response to C/Harmony, Mr. Gonzales explained that the Riverside
closure area extends from Euclid Ave. to the SR 71/SR 91 interchange (the
Butterfield Ranch development south to the 91 fwy). The San Bernardino
detour will begin December, 1996 and continue until the Riverside closure.
C/Werner asked what guarantees CalTrans can make if the issue of access
via Diamond Bar's Grand Ave is raised as a mitigation solution to traffic
backup from the closure of the SR 71 whether CalTrans would indicate that
such a mitigation is not available.
In response Mr. Gonzales explained that the EIR is the subject of a public
hearing If a change is suggested that the City would be notified and would
have an opportunity to rebut the suggested change.
C/Werner suggested that staff attend the scheduled public hearings for the
purpose of monitoring the possibility of Grand Ave. being added to the detour
clans as an interim mitigation measure.
Gary Neely asked Mr. Gonzales to have the "Chino Hills Next Exit" signs on
AUGUST 20, 1996 PAGE 6
the north and south SR 57 and SR 60 interchange at Grand Ave. removed.
9. NEW BUSINESS:
9.1 STANDARD AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR HOUSE NUMBER
PAINTING - ACM/Usher explained that the City can require a
contractor to print their City Permit number and City Hall telephone
number for confirmation on the resident's notification. Upon approval,
notice of the new program will be printed in the City's newsletter and
indicated on City -On -Line.
In response to C/Harmony, DPW/Liu stated that staff reviewed the
programs for Alhambra, West Covina and L.A. County and
recommended that a $1,000 deposit is reasonable for the permittee
based upon anticipated revenue. The applicant is required to provide
the City with street names and the number of residences when
applying for the permit.
C/Harmony stated that he was concerned about creating a hardship
on a marginal industry.
ACM/Usher reported that 3 organizations outside D.B. have indicated
an interest in performing the work.
In response to C/Werner, DPW/Liu stated that about two months ago,
staff received approximately 10 complaints from citizens in each area.
The City has no knowledge or control of the number of residences that
were contacted for street number painting since no permit was
obtained.
In response to MPT/Huff, ACM/Usher explained that firms usually ask
$6-8 per residence for painting street numbers on the curb. A million
dollar liability policy requirement is not unusual or exceptional. Cities
must be provided adequate liability coverage by anyone conducting
work in the public right-of-way.
C/Herrera asked if the $1,000 deposit would be returned upon
satisfactory completion of work.
ACM/Usher stated that staff time for inspection work would be
charged against the deposit. The balance will be returned to the
permittee. The policy provides that the permittee must paint all
numbers within a zone with payment by the homeowner/resident
being voluntary.
Dr. Rhodes recommended street number painting for commercial
business and that the City consider painting house numbers on a
certain number of roofs for visibility by helicopter patrol.
AUGUST 20, 1996 PAGE 7
Mrs. Bruske suggested the City maintain and pay for the street
numbering service.
Mr. Van Winkle echoed Mrs. Bruske's suggestion.
C/Werner stated that the staff proposal was a "bureaucratic overkill"
of an issue and a business that should not be subject to such stiff and
expensive fees and regulations. He indicated that there are many
local service clubs that are available in the City and that could benefit
from the revenues that can be generated by this service. He further
indicated that local service clubs cannot afford the expensive liability
insurance or the $1.000 permit fee that is being required by this
proposal. C/Werner moved to continue the item for additional
information. Motion died for lack of a second.
M/Ansari moved, C/Herrera seconded, to approve the Standards and
Specifications for House Number Painting with Council review of the
program one year from date of approval. Motion carried by the
following Roll Call vote:
AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Harmony, Herrera, MPT/Huff,

that the language in the Ordinance was not clear enough and
requested that it be more cWg& defined.
M/Ansari moved, MPT/Huff seconded, to waive further reading and
introduce Ordinance No. 03(1996), amending Chapter 2.04 of Title 2
of the Municipal Code relating to runoff elections. Further, that the City
Attorney review the Ordinance and amend the wording. With the

recommendation forwarded to Council for deliberation.

6.5 ADOPTED RESOLUTION NO. 96-58: A RESOLUTION OF THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR EXPRESSING
SUPPORT OF AB 1647 (BUSTAMANTE).
MATTERS WITHDRAWN FROM CONSENT CALENDAR:
6.3 PLAN CHECK CHECKING SERVICES TO CHARLES ABBOTT
ASSOCIATES FOR VESTING TENTATIVE MAP 32400/52203
IMPROVEMENT PLANS AND FINAL MAPS - In response to
C/Harmony, ACM/Usher stated that Council's direction with respect to
contract rotation was relative to projects under staffs jurisdiction
between $1 and $10,000. Firms awarded contracts in excess of
$10,000 approved by Council, would be evaluated by staff on their
ability to perform the work in question. Staffs conclusion is that
Charles Abbott Assoc. is the firm most qualified to handle the
geological and geotechnical issues related to this proposed tract.
M/Ansari concurred with C/Harmony's concern for rotation and that
RKA has not been awarded as many contracts as other companies.
She indicated it appears the Council's wishes were not carried out in
this instance and she wanted to make sure that the City was being fair
in awarding these contracts.
ACM/Usher responded that he understood that RKA would be the
next firm selected for a contract award between $5,000 and $10,000.
In response to CNVemer, ACM/Usher responded that although no bid
was sought, staff considered rates charged for specific types of work
related to the issues of concern regarding the specific tract. Staff was
most concerned about the firm's qualifications to perform the specific
work involved relative to the tract development. The City has received
the developer's deposit and has expressed no opposition to use of
Charles Abbott Associates. All costs will be assumed by the
developer.
Responding to M/Ansari, ACM/Usher stated that including an RFP in
the process would delay the project approximately one month.
Responding to C/Harmony, ACA/Susskind stated that the Code
requires bidding of purchase of equipment and services over $10,
000.
She agreed that in the case of services paid as a result of set
AUGUST 20, 1996 PAGE 4
resolution fees, it is pointless to have a bid procedure.
C/Harmony felt that if the Council approved this contract award, it
would be violating the City's Purchasing Ordinance.
C/Herrera opposed continuing this item. The matter of rotation is an
item for another discussion. Staff made a recommendation based
upon their knowledge of the consultant's expertise in this specific
matter.
C/Herrera moved, MPT/Huff seconded, to award plan checking
services for VTM 32400/52203 improvement plans and final maps to
Charles Abbott Assoc., in an amount not to exceed $49,470.19.
MPT/Huff stated that the intent of the previous Council. as he
understood it was to have a systematic rotation of these consultants.
He pointed out that Charles Abbott Assoc was second to the last in
amount of contracts received through this system in the lower tier
iobs. He aareed that there seemed to be minor inequities however.
there was no need to continue this matter to the next meetm .
Motion failed by the following Roll Call vote:
AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Herrera, MPT/Huff
NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Harmony, M/Ansari

whether the stop sin proposed to be installed is consistent with
proper traffic engineering policies.
DPW/ Liu responded affirmatively.
CWerner then clarified whether the stop sign was proposed by Ms.
Debbie O'Connor anCd/or by others in the neighborhood.
DPW/Liu indicated that several neighbors in the area have expressed
AUGUST 20, 1996 PAGE 5
interest in the installation of a stop sign at the location proposed.
C/Wemer moved, M/Ansari seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 96-59
approving installation of a stop sign at the intersecting leg of
Minnequa Drive at Bower Cascade Place. Motion carried by the

AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Harmony, Herrera, Werner,

7. PUBLIC HEARINGS: None
8. OLD BUSINESS: None
4. CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC COMMENTS: Paul Gonzales, CalTrans
District VIII, San Bernardino, indicated that Public Hearings will be held at
Prado Elementary School, August 28, and Prado Regional Park, August 29
from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. regarding the Riverside portion of the SR 71
closure scheduled for June 15 through October 15, 1997. CalTrans will not
designate Grand Ave. as a detour during this project. The main detour route
proposed is Euclid Ave. from Chino and Chino Hills.
M/Ansari asked what guarantees CalTrans can make that Chino and Chino
Hills residents will not use Grand Ave. as a detour.
Mr. Gonzales responded that there are no guarantees.
In response to C/Harmony, Mr. Gonzales explained that the Riverside
closure area extends from Euclid Ave. to the SR 71/SR 91 interchange (the
Butterfield Ranch development south to the 91 fwy). The San Bernardino
detour will begin December, 1996 and continue until the Riverside closure.
C/Werner asked what guarantees CalTrans can make if the issue of access
via Diamond Bar's Grand Ave is raised as a mitigation solution to traffic
backup from the closure of the SR 71 whether CalTrans would indicate that
such a mitigation is not available.
In response Mr. Gonzales explained that the EIR is the subject of a public
hearing If a change is suggested that the City would be notified and would
have an opportunity to rebut the suggested change.
C/Wemer suggested that staff attend the scheduled public hearings for the
purpose of monitoring thepossibility of Grand Ave being added to the detour
plans as an interim mitigation measure.
Gary Neely asked Mr. Gonzales to have the "Chino Hills Next Exit" signs on
AUGUST 20, 1996 PAGE 6
the north and south SR 57 and SR 60 interchange at Grand Ave. removed.
9. NEW BUSINESS:
9.1 STANDARD AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR HOUSE NUMBER
PAINTING - ACM/Usher explained that the City can require a
contractor to print their City Permit number and City Hall telephone
number for confirmation on the resident's notification. Upon approval,
notice of the new program will be printed in the City's newsletter and
indicated on City -On -Line.
In response to C/Harmony, DPW/Liu stated that staff reviewed the
programs for Alhambra, West Covina and L.A. County and
recommended that a $1,000 deposit is reasonable for the permittee
based upon anticipated revenue. The applicant is required to provide
the City with street names and the number of residences when
applying for the permit.
C/Harmony stated that he was concerned about creating a hardship
on a marginal industry.
ACM/Usher reported that 3 organizations outside D. B. have indicated
an interest in performing the work.
In response to C/Wemer, DPW/Liu stated that about two months ago,
staff received approximately 10 complaints from citizens in each area.
The City has no knowledge or control of the number of residences that
were contacted for street number painting since no permit was
obtained.
In response to MPT/Huff, ACM/Usher explained that firms usually ask
$6-8 per residence for painting street numbers on the curb. A million
dollar liability policy requirement is not unusual or exceptional. Cities
must be provided adequate liability coverage by anyone conducting
work in the public right-of-way.
C/Herrera asked if the $1,000 deposit would be returned upon
satisfactory completion of work.
ACM/Usher stated that staff time for inspection work would be
charged against the deposit. The balance will be returned to the
permittee. The policy provides that the permittee must paint all
numbers within a zone with payment by the homeowner/resident
being voluntary.
Dr. Rhodes recommended street number painting for commercial
business and that the City consider painting house numbers on a
certain number of roofs for visibility by helicopter patrol.
AUGUST 20, 1996 PAGE 7
Mrs. Bruske suggested the City maintain and pay for the street
numbering service.
Mr. Van Winkle echoed Mrs. Bruske's suggestion.
C/Wemer stated that the staff proposal was a "bureaucratic overkill"
of an issue and a business that should not be subject to such stiff and
expensive fees and regulations He indicated that there are many
local service clubs that are available in the City and that could benefit
from the revenues that can be generated by this service He further
indicated that local service clubs cannot afford the expensive liability
insurance or the $1,000 permit fee that is being required by this
proposal /Werner moved to continue the item for additional
information Motion died for lack of a second.
M/Ansari moved, C/Herrera seconded, to approve the Standards and
Specifications for House Number Painting with Council review of the
program one year from date of approval. Motion carried by the
following Roll Call vote:
AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Harmony, Herrera, MPT/Huff,

Tentative Tract Map 51169 requested a waiver of the condition related to requiring
the installation of a reclaimed water system.
SEPTEMBER 3, 1996 PAGE 3
In response to M/Ansari, PWD/Wentz explained that Walnut Valley Water District
indicated that they would not be providing reclaimed water above that particular
elevation within the next ten years.
In response to MPT/Huff, PWD/Wentz responded that the 850' restriction is due to
the water district's inability to deliver water to a maximum elevation based upon their
tank elevations and pump capability.
MPT/Huff asked if the water district could deliver water from a proposed reclaimed
water lake on the Tres Hermanos property to the proposed site.
PWD/Wentz responded that it may be feasible if the water lines were carried that far
south and the pumps could pump the water to Mr. Yeh's property elevation.
MPT/Huff asked why the previous Council recommended reclaimed water for this
project. In response to MPT/Huff asking why the previous Council required
plumbing for reclaimed water for this project. PWD/Wentz responded that in addition
to Mr. Yeh's project, the condition applies to other projects in the immediate area.
C/Werner reported that the water district and other utility companies would have
been requested to indicate their concerns regarding a proposed development.
PWD/Wentz responded that these agencies were contacted and that the response
regarding use of reclaimed water for this project is probably not practical.

Lex Willamon, Hunsaker & Associates, representing Applicant Jerry Yeh, informed
Council that the Walnut Valley Water District will not design and build a reclaimed
water system. In order to get the map recorded, the applicant has had to bond for

the pad irrigation have been separated. Purple pipe has been installed so that in the
future, if reclaimed water is provided to the area, a system has been set up at the
project site to tap into the system.
There being no further public comments offered, M/Ansari closed the Public
Hearing.
C/Werner asked staff to determine reclaimed water issues included in the City's
General Plan for purposes of discussion by Council.
CM/Belanger explained that the City's General Plan contains a strategy related to
encouraging the use of reclaimed water wherever possible. Council will consider
whether the Development Code will include the use of reclaimed water as a
development condition.
C/Herrera moved, M/Ansari seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 96-61 deleting

DEVELOPMENT CODE PUBLIC WORKSHOP - a workshop for community
residents and business owners to help identify issues related to
how the City regulates/oversees future development in concert with
the recently adopted General Plan. This is the first in a series
of public workshops being held to receive citizen's ideas about how
to better serve the public's interests in matters of property
development. Future workshops will be announced.
Chair/ Goldenberg stated that one of the Planning Commission's major
goals is to present to the City of Diamond Bar a Development Code
that will provide an incentive to residents, businesses and
developers, to fully utilize the guidelines of the Code. The
finished product will help enhance property values, encourage
business development, and allow property development to remain
within the guidelines of the existing General Plan.
SP/Johnson stated the City of Diamond Bar is currently operating
under the Los Angeles County code which was adopted upon
incorporation. Since adoption, the City has expanded and modified
the code to reflect local issues and the mandates of State
legislation. Until recently the City operated without an adopted
General Plan. As a result, development has not been guided by
policies that are reflective of a General Plan which defines the
needs of the community. The City adopted its General Plan in July,
1995. The General Plan establishes strategies for implementing the
City's vision for its future. This vision includes the retention
of its hillside community character, the preservation of open
space, reduction of regional traffic impacts on local streets, the
promotion of viable commercial activity, and the provision of well
August 26, 1996 Page 2 Planning Commission
maintained and attractive housing. The overriding goal of the
General Plan, reflected in the Vision Statement, is the creation of
a community environment which nurtures social, cultural, religious,
educational and recreational opportunities for its citizens. One
of the major implementation tools of the General Plan is the
Development Code. The Development Code achieves this
implementation in a number of ways. For example, the City's
General Plan identifies the retention of hillside community
character as one of its primary goals and further includes a
strategy requiring creation of a Slope Density Ordinance limiting
the number of dwelling units within hillside areas. The slope
density formula and its related standards will be included as part
of the new Development Code. Another goal is the promotion of
viable commercial activity. The existing commercial zoning
categories will be reviewed and, if necessary, be renamed and
consolidated to accommodate the commercial needs of the City. The
Development Code will include an updated list of permitted uses to
reflect changes in technology and lifestyles, such as regulations
addressing telecommunications facilities, automated car washes, and
more specific standards for uses such as fast food restaurants and
daycare centers. The Development Code will include approval
processes for commercial, industrial and residential uses. One of
the City's goals is to streamline and simplify these processes and
provide clearer and more specific standards for development. Staff
believes simplifying the process will encourage businesses to
locate in the City. The new comprehensive Development Code is
envisioned to be a single development services related document
integrating the applicable portions of the existing code and
recently adopted ordinances into a single development services
volume which includes zoning and subdivision regulations,
development standards, and design guidelines.
SP/Johnson continued stating tonight's workshop is to kickoff a
series of meetings and workshops toward formulating a Development
Code. She introduced representatives from the three participating
consulting groups: Urban Design Studio, Jacobson & Wack, and
Crawford Multari & Starr.
Ron Pflugrath, Urban Design Studio indicated tonight's presentation
focuses on three major areas: 1) An opportunity for the Planning
Commission and the public to meet the consulting groups; provide a
Scope of Work schedule and how the community can be involved; and
for the consultants to receive input from the Planning Commission
and the public.
Bruce Jacobson, Jacobson & Wack, stated a Development Code
comprises the current Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance,
references the State's Subdivision Map Act, and references any
design guidelines that have been adopted as part of the City's
current Zoning Ordinance. The Development Code may also contain
unique needs and considerations for special areas of the City, such
as hillsides. The Development Code allows for the compilation of
all of the individual documents currently referenced by the City.
August 26, 1996 Page 3 Planning Commission
Beyond incorporating all of the documents into one "binder", the
Development Code must be internally consistent. The design
guidelines incorporated in the Development Code will be prepared by
the City staff. The consultants will properly locate and integrate
the design guidelines within the Development Code. The Development
Code user will refer to the City's General Plan as a separate
document. The challenge is to be certain that the Development Code
is consistent with the General Plan. As a result, the Development
Code will likely include purpose statements for each of the land
uses designated in the General Plan. The policies and goals
established in the General Plan will be considered within the
Development Code. The Development Code will address the City's
special areas of concern such as hillside development, noise,
grading, certain types of housing, etc. Emphasis will be placed on
streamlining the building permit process. Mr. Jacobson stated the
true test of a Development Code is whether the document is user
friendly. He further stated that as consultants they can provide
the City with a completed Development Code that will provide
relative ease of use in locating items, and give a clear
understanding of what the items require of the property
owner/applicant, as well as what is expected of staff to meet the
needs of the property owner.
Mr. Pflugrath outlined the four components of the Development Code
preparation:
1) Need Identification and Document Review
1.1 Startup meetings
1.2 Document review
1.3 Staff workshops
1.4 Public outreach
1.5 Planning Commission workshop
1.6 Phase 1 report
1.7 Draft format and outline of code
2) Administrative draft Development Code
2.1 Zoning district provisions
2.2 Administrative provisions
2.3 Development standards (general and specific)
2.4 Subdivision regulations
2.5 Design guidelines (prepared by staff)
2.6 Complete administrative draft
3) Public Review Draft and Final Draft Code
3.1 Public review draft
3.2 Planning Commission workshop revisions; public
review draft
3.3 Planning Commission and City Council public
hearings
3.4 Final Development Code
August 26, 1996 Page 4 Planning commission
4) Electronic Code - hypertext version
Mr. Pflugrath stated that a submittal generally takes about one
month of preparation and one month of staff review. Once the draft
is completed, public and Planning Commission review commences.
Four Planning Commission workshops and seven public workshop
sessions are scheduled. At the end of the workshop schedule, a
third public draft is prepared for approximately two Planning
Commission Public Hearing meetings and three City Council Public
Hearing meetings to complete the process. Upon completion of the
Public Hearing process, a final draft Development Code is prepared.
In addition, a hypertext interactive version will be completed for
use on the Internet.
Mr. Pflugrath stated that to properly complete the Public Hearing
process, he anticipates the preparation of the City's Development
Code will take approximately 18 months. He emphasized that the
process is not a rethinking or a restructuring of the City's
General Plan. The General Plan is used as a tool of direction for
the City's Development Code.
Paul Crawford, Crawford Multari & Starr, reiterated that the
Development Code is the City's primary tool for implementing the
General Plan. Whereas the General Plan is a broad brush
description of what the community wants to become, the Development
Code provides the details for development decisions, development
project designs, and land use establishment and operation. The
consultant's objective is to create a document that is "user
friendly". He presented a preliminary outline which reflects a six
part Development Code. The concept is that the code should be
organized so the most frequently utilized information is at the
beginning, organized into tables, concise in language, and
profusely illustrated. Using this concept, the code begins with a
a six or seven page article explaining how the code works, what it
applies to, and what kinds of activities might be exempt from its
provisions. The second article discusses the material the public
is typically most interested in - the zoning districts and the uses
of land allowed within the zoning districts ("what can I do with my
land and what permit is required?) reflecting the land use
categories that the General Plan establishes. This article would
be expanded to provide regulations and standards for implementing
the General Plan categories. Included within this article are
Residential Districts, Commercial/ Industrial Districts, Special
Purpose Districts and Combining and Overlay Zoning Districts. He
suggested the Land Use categories would appear down the left side
of a matrix with the Zoning Districts listed across the top of the
matrix. The Zoning Districts and Allowable Land Uses chapter would
also contain standards for development relevant to the particular
Zoning District. He presented a sample matrix for public viewing.
Article III, Site Planning and General Development Standards,
discusses standards that do not apply to any particular zone, but
may apply to development in any zoning district. Article III
August 26, 1996 Page 5 Planning Commission
expands to talk about information regarding Fences, Hedges and
Walls; Height Limitations and Exceptions; Hillside Development
Standards; Home Occupation Standards; Landscaping and Irrigation
Standards; Nonconforming Uses, Structures and Parcels; Off -Street
Parking and Loading Standards; Solid Waste/ Recyclable Materials
Storage; Telecommunications Facilities (i.e. antennae); Tree
Preservation, and Standards for Specific Uses (service station, car
wash). Provisions contained in the back of the Code are provisions
related to procedural aspects of the Development Code
administration. He indicated that a "Subdivision Regulations"
Article should be added to the outline between Article III and Part
IV as shown on the preliminary outline. The administrative
provisions talk about how development permit applications are
prepared, filed and processed. It contains criteria for approval
or denial, authority for imposing conditions of approval, and
identifies requirements for scheduling Public Hearing Notices and
concludes by discussing provisions enforcement of the Development
Code. The final part of the book would contain definitions or a
glossary of the terms used in the Development Code. Mr. Crawford
stated the Development Code will appear to look like a reference
work with the glossary and index at the back of the book in order
that people can locate relative information in a variety of ways.
C/McManus asked if, as a business owner, he could go to City Hall
and access information on the City's computer informing him what
documents need to be completed and the process for obtaining a
permit.
Mr. Crawford responded to C/McManus that the approach to the
Development Code is to provide the document in two forms: 1) a
printed hard copy for purchase or review, and 2) an electronic
version that will link to the City's web page and allow anyone to
access the document from any location including a public access
terminal in the City's Community Development Department and/or
branch libraries.
C/McManus asked if the Development Code will attempt to eliminate
duplication of documentation.
Mr. Crawford responded to C/McManus that the Development Code
should eliminate internal conflicts between provisions.
C/McManus asked if the electronic system would allow him to
generate a list of all documents required to accomplish a specific
task.
Mr. Crawford responded to C/McManus that the electronic version of
the Development Code will be designed to accept key word commands
to search the document.
C/Schad asked if the proposed schedule for compiling the
Development Code is flexible.
August 26, 1996 Page 6 Planning Commission
Mr. Crawford responded to C/Schad that the schedule is designed to
accommodate maximum public participation and is intended to be
realistic.
C/Schad asked what would occur if in the process of clarifying the
Development Code the consultants found what they felt to be flaws
within the General Plan.
Mr. Crawford responded to C/Schad that the consultant's role will
be to bring to the attention of staff any issues that are
identified. He reiterated that the consultants have written a
number of Development Codes and Zoning Ordinances immediately
following the adoption of City's General Plans. Often
implementation of a General Plan provision may turn out to be
problematic. He indicated they would present alternatives to staff
and suggest that a discussion of the matter take place before the
Planning Commission and City Council.
Chair/Goldenberg stated to Mr. Pflugrath. that the Planning
Commission would like to present the final document to the City
Council by December, 1997. He asked Mr. Pflugrath to explain Item
1.4, Public outreach, under 1. Needs Identification and Document
Review of the Proposed Work Program.
Mr. Pflugrath responded to Chair/Goldenberg that the public
outreach program is a series of events including tonight's
workshop, the survey which was compiled and distributed, newspaper
articles and announcements, and meetings with special interest
groups.
Mr. Pflugrath responded to Chair/ Goldenberg that in his opinion,
the document can be completed in 16 months. What drives the
overall schedule is the amount of time staff is allowed to assist
with review of the administrative sections. A great deal of
staff's time is needed to complete the review process. Public
workshops will require the Planning Commission's time and
dedication. Saturday morning workshops are usually the most
effective use of time.
Chair/Goldenberg stated the Planning Commission will look to the
consultants to maintain a pace for presenting the document to City
Council by December, 1997.
VC/Ruzicka asked how long it took to prepare the Development Code
for Mission Viejo.
Mr. Jacobson responded that the draft Development Code was complete
in less than two years. He stated that the document was completed
several years ago and the review process came to stalemate at the
Planning Commission level. Although portions of the document have
been reviewed and approved by the City Council, the entire document
has not yet been approved by the Council.
August 26, 1996 Page 7 Planning commission
Mr. Pflugrath stated Mission Viejo elected not to review the
document in a public forum. When the document got to the Planning
Commission, the public had a lot of questions. The original
proposal included a series of workshops.
Mr. Pflugrath concurred with VC/Ruzicka that experience has taught
him that certain criteria including public input needs to be
incorporated in the process to bring the document to final approval
in a timely manner.
Chair/Goldenberg asked for public comment.
Craig Clute, 21217 Fountain Springs Road, asked if the Development
Code will apply to existing developments and/or redevelopments.
Mr. Crawford responded to Mr. Clute that because the document will
include development standards covering all aspects of development
in the community, rules applying to new developments may differ
from rules applied to existing development. The long term effect
will be determined by the non -conforming provisions of the
Development Code. Although it is yet to be determined what the
differences may be, it is probable that differences will exist.
Items will be highlighted in the proposed Development Code which
differ from the existing standards.
Chair/Goldenberg responded to Mr. Clute that for all intents and
purposes, in-place residential properties will not change. A small
portion of a few commercial properties may change for clarification
and not for rezoning.
C/McManus responded to Mr. Clute that if his concern is that
according to the new Development Code an existing property becomes
non -conforming it would be grandfathered in until such time as the
property changed ownership, such an occurrence is a possibility.
The Planning Commission and City Council will ultimately determine
whether the code will be applied in this respect.
C/McManus responded to Mr. Clute that the review process will
determine whether or not, if the new Development Code renders an
existing property non -conforming, it could be grandfathered in
until such time as the property changed ownership.
There being no one else who wished to speak, Chair/ Goldenberg
closed the public testimony portion of the workshop.
Mr. Pflugrath referred the Planning Commission to Item 6. Topics
for Discussion. The Development Code seeks a slope density formula
to apply to hillside development and protect the hilly areas,
canyons and ridgelines, etc.
C/McManus asked what options, in addition to the public meetings,
are available for public input.
August 26, 1996 Page 8 Planning commission
Mr. Pflugrath responded to C/McManus that the Planning Commission
workshops are designed to handle most of the public input prior to
public hearings.
With respect to tree preservation, Mr. Pflugrath stated the goal is
to write an ordinance which preserves indigenous trees. In the
event a tree cannot be preserved, appropriate mitigation measures
will be included.
Mr. Pflugrath indicated the existing Zoning Ordinance does not
speak to density ranges. The City's General Plan is based upon a
range, and the Zoning Ordinance should also be based on a density
range.
Regarding parking and access, Mr. Pflugrath indicated the
identified items are incentives for shared parking and shared
access. In addition, the code will identify parking standards -
how .much parking is required for what types of uses.
Mr. Pflugrath stated the issue identified with respect to signs is
the fact that in some cases a low six-foot high monument sign may
not be adequate for larger projects. All signage aspects for every
kind of development throughout the City will be researched. This
will include a proposal to provide incentives to insure higher
quality signs.
Mr. Pflugrath indicated the issue of fast growing home-based
businesses will be discussed. The Planning Commission will be
asked to determine the allowable threshold of these types of
business.
The development review and approval process will be discussed. As
a result, current processes may be changed or reassigned.
C/McManus asked about the inclusion of "reasonable" action.
Mr. Pflugrath responded to C/McManus that certain aspects of the
code may include flexible language such as "subject to the approval
of the Community Development Director".
The City does not currently have a Certificate of Occupancy and a
Business License process. The code should allow the City to assist
businesses with successful openings rather than having a Code
Enforcement officer advise business owners after the fact that it
is not in compliance.
Currently the City notices property owners within 300 feet and 500
feet radius of a proposed project for the public hearing process.
In some instances, and due to the City's terrain, 300 or 500 feet
is insufficient. Other alternatives such as 1000 feet will be
investigated with respect to hillside development.
August 26, 1996 Page 9 Planning Commission
Mr. Pflugrath stated a zoning district consolidation will require
a substantial amount of effort. The City is currently divided into
33 zones. In some cases the distinction between the zones is
finite.
Mr. Pflugrath responded to Chair/Goldenberg that a building permit
request would trigger a development review and approval process
which would be discussed under Item G.
Lois McManus, 23561 Coyote Springs Drive, asked that prohibition of
overnight parking be added to the Topics for Discussion.
Mr. Pflugrath responded to Chair/Goldenberg that the next joint
meeting with the Planning Commission will be scheduled when the
public review draft is completed. The administrative draft will
require four to five months of preparation time. He indicated that
in the meantime, he would be willing to meet with special interest
groups, organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce, Homeowners
Associations, or individuals when they are in the community
conducting business.
In response to C/Schad, Mr. Pflugrath stated special interest
groups should contact staff to set appointments to work with the
consultants.
Chair/Goldenberg thanked the consultants and staff for their

AstP/Lungu read the staff report into the record. She
stated that she received a facsimile from the Department
of State Architect indicating the applicant has been
through plan check, completed the corrections, and have
received their stamped set of plans. The applicant will
forward the original plans to the State. The State will
issue the first letter of approval which will allow the
applicant to proceed with the construction. Upon
completion of construction, the State will grant final
approval. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission
approve Conditional Use Permit No. 93-7(3) for a six
month extension of time, Findings of Fact, and conditions
as listed within the resolution.
Chair/Goldenberg opened the public hearing.
Dan Hare, L.A. Cellular, thanked staff for their work.
He stated the approval process should have been completed
by April 1. However, due to the State's staff
reductions, the process now takes six to eight months.
Over 50 percent of the users in the area utilize L.A.
Cellular including the emergency 911 service. The
current system is costing the company a large amount of
revenue. The new system will provide four times the
capacity of the current system.
Responding to C/Schad, Mr. Hare stated he is proposing
cape honeysuckle and oleander as landscaping for the
slope facing the single family residence in order to
reduce the visual impact of the equipment building.
Mr. Hare responded to C/McManus that only L.A. Cellular
subscribers have access to the system. L.A. Cellular is
a provider for freeway 911 emergency call box service.
Chair/Goldenberg closed the public hearing.
C/Schad made a motion, seconded by VC/Ruzicka, to approve
Conditional Use Permit No. 93-7(3) for a six month
extension of time, Findings of Fact and conditions as

Rudy Figueroa, JMCG, Inc., Long Beach, 3760 Kilroy
Airport Way, Suite 4401 stated his company represents Cox
Calif. PCS, Inc. in its efforts to establish a
telecommunications network throughout California. Cox is
one of two Federal Communications Commission licensees
working to meet the increased demand for cellular
telephone services. Three sites have been selected in
the City of Diamond Bar to complete the Los Angeles
County network. He stated he concurs with staff's
recommendations and conditions of approval.
Mr. Figueroa responded to Chair/ Goldenberg that this
project has not been submitted to the DBIA.
Frank Schubarum, JMCG, Inc. stated that of the three
projects being processed through the City of Diamond Bar,
the design drawings for the site on Armitos Way next door
to the Los Angeles County Fire Department Station were
submitted to and approved by the DBIA. The proposed
project will be submitted to DBIA after Planning
Commission approval.
Mr. Figueroa responded to C/Schad that three projects are
needed to provided adequate carrier service throughout
Diamond Bar and adjacent areas. Pacific Bell Mobile
Service is the only other provider that uses the same
type of equipment as Cox Calif. PCS, Inc. and there would
be no problem co -existing the services if the application
for service was made and approved through the Conditional
Use Permit process and acceptable to the landlord.
August 26, 1996 Page 12 Planning Commission
Responding to C/Schad's concern regarding a proliferation
of antennas in the City, Mr. Figueroa stated the proposed
project is for an addition to the top of a building and
not an antenna, as required by the City -Is Planning
Department.

2. Parks Master Plan - CSD/Rose stated that at the June 27, 1996 Parks and
Recreation Commission meeting, Chair/Tye appointed VC/Finnerty and C/Law
as subcommittee members to assist staff with the draft RFP update that will be
used to obtain a consultant for the development of a Parks Master Plan. The
subcommittee met on July 2. He referred the Commissioners to the updated
RFP included in the packet. He indicated that City Council intends to hold a
scoping session with the consultant and the community in September. He
explained that the completed document will be reviewed by the Planning
Commission for compliance with the General Plan and ultimately forwarded
to the City Council for discussion and adoption. Staff recommends that the
Parks and Recreation Commission recommend to the City Council that the RFP
be released in order to obtain a consultant for the development of the Parks
Master Plan.
CSD/Rose responded to C/Law that he anticipates a period of one year from the
scoping session to the adoption of a Parks Master Plan. The City Attorney will
advise the Planning Commission regarding conformity to State requirements
and the City's General Plan.
CSD/Rose responded to C/O'Connor that the Parks and Recreation Commission
does not conduct Public Hearings. The Commission receives public input.
The Parks and Recreation Commission will hold several public meetings during
the formulation of the Parks Master Plan. The Planning Commission and City
Council are the only bodies that can conduct Public Hearings. The
Commissioners may attend the Public Hearings and participate as citizens.
Commissioners may chose to be involved in the consultant review process.
Staff usually makes its recommendation to the City Manager's office and City
Council.
C/O'Connor asked if the Parks Master Plan will include the City's Sphere of
Influence. CSD/Rose responded that discussions regarding the Sphere of
Influence will be included to comply with the spirit of the General Plan. In
particular, discussions of open space use and equestrian/hiking trails will be
included.
In response to C/Law, CSD/Rose indicated the Parks Master Plan is a tool for
future parks planning.
July 25, 1996 Page 4 Parks & Recreation
The July 14 Pageant of the Masters and Laguna Art Festival excursion
was sold out. The Hollywood Bowl "Evening Under the Stars" with
Carol Burnett is sold out. A total of 78 people have signed up for the
two excursions, generating revenue of $4,081. Effective July 1, 1996,
the City of Diamond Bar staff began administering the adult excursions
from Heritage Park.
The 4 through 9 divisions for the summer youth baseball league are
filled. Currently, there are 424 participants enrolled in the league
generating $23,320 in revenue. Registration is still open for the 12-13
division. Projected revenue for this summer program is $25,740 with
about 430 players participating.
Day camp continues to be a popular program and the number of
participants is increasing. Staff believes that the numbers will increase
even more now that summer school has ended. The week of July 1-5
theme was "Cyber Trek" with an excursion to Imax and Planet Kids in
Irvine. The week of July 8-12 theme was "Jurassic Retreat" with
excursions to Universal Studios and Bullwinkle's Fun Center. The week
of July 15-22 theme is "Big Top Fun" with excursions to Orange County
Fair and Scandia. To date, 152 campers have attended generating
$12,651 in revenue. Projected revenue for the 10 week program is
$35,600 with 400 campers attending.
To date, 37 participants have signed up for the weekly excursions with
the day campers, generating $880 in revenue. Registration is limited
depending on day camp numbers due to the 10-1 ratio of campers to
staff.
CSS/Bowman responded to C/O'Connor that parents may accompany their
child on the youth excursions. This does not alter the staff to child ratio.
CSD/Rose suggested that if the parent accompanies the child, the parent should
sign a waiver releasing the child to the parents care, custody and control.
July 25, 1996 Page 5 Parks & Recreation
CJMedina suggested the City incorporate the Registered Dieticians Program and
ballroom dancing in its schedule of events.
CSS/Bowman responded to Chair/Tye that the 1995-1996 contract year fell
short of projected revenue goals. Staff believes that the adult softball revenue
shortfall is a result of Sunday morning family activities.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
C/Medina requested the City of Diamond Bar recognize its residents who have participated
in the Olympics. CSD/Rase suggested the names be forwarded to the City Council for the
recognition ceremonies.
CSD/Rose responded to C/O'Connor that he will provide a User Group Schedule at the
August 22 Commission meeting.
C/O'Connor announced the July 27 Brea Community Center grand opening. She offered to
attend as a City representative. The Commission concurred that C/O'Connor should
participate in the event. CSD/Rose asked that C/O'Connor report back to the Commission on
August 22.
C/O'Connor reminded the Commission that the City of Walnut MRF relocation celebration
is scheduled for Saturday, July 27 at Lemon Avenue and LaPuente Road.
Chair/Tye stated today was the last scheduled City Park visit. Concerts in the Park has been
very successful.
Chair/Tye thanked CSD/Rose for his support during last months Parks and Recreation
Commission meeting. He indicated he will always err on the side of parks.
CSD/Rose responded to C/O'Connor that the "Meals on Wheels" program is funded by the
Los Angeles County Area Agency on Aging. A local contractor receives the funding and
provides service to Diamond Bar through the Rowland Heights location.

to assist VC/Leonard with the Placentia School video.
July 25, 1996 Page 2 TfiT Commission
Craig Clute, Fountain Springs, asked for smaller.
warning signs on Fountain Springs Road. He requested
the City research the Diamond Bar High School parking
restrictions and signs. He suggested the City consider
diagonal parking in the redesign phase of Brea Canyon
Road.
DDPW/Liu responded to Chair/Istik that the conceptual
Brea Canyon Road improvement plan is complete.
Discussion for this item is slated for the October
Traffic and Transportation Commission meeting.
Chair/Istik asked DDPW/Liu to make the plans available
to Mr. Clute.
V. OLD BUSINESS
A. Cul-de-sacing Sunset Crossing Road from SR 57 off -
ramp to the westerly City limit.
Chair/Istik asked staff to revise the report to
include discussion of narrowing Sunset Crossing
Road from the SR 57 off -ramp to the cul-de-sac.
DPW/Wentz stated the City Council directed staff
to determine the feasibility of cul-de-sacing the
end of Sunset Crossing Road and installing a
pocket park. He indicated staff is aware of the
Commission's concerns regarding the width of
Sunset Crossing Road with respect to current and
future street use. With the Traffic and
Tranpsortation's request, staff will research
additional alternatives and pursue further City
Council consideration.
Chair/Istik stated the narrowing of Sunset
Crossing Road would be consistent with the
approved cul-de-sacing.
DPW/Wentz responded to Chair/Istik that raised
barriers are proposed for the end of the cul-de-
sac which causes the traffic to enter the parking
area. The parking will extend to the existing
curb and gutter on both sides and will be striped
on the existing pavement. The pocket park will be
the full width of the westerly street extending
about 70 feet easterly from the City limit. City
July 25, 1996 Page 3 T&T commission
Council has approved the design process of Phase
II.
C/Tamaya stated Mayor Pro Tem Huff is concerned
about the potential cost to narrow the street.
DPW/Wentz responded that staff will consider each
alternative offered by the Commission and estimate
the costs involved.
C/Tamaya indicated that although the MRF is being
relocated, it is feasible to believe that the City
of Industry intends to develop the area at some
future date.
C/Nice suggested the Sunset Crossing Road
residents be surveyed. DPW/Wentz concurred.
Responding to Chair/Istik, DPW/Wentz stated the
intent of Phase II is to remove a portion of
asphalt and create a lack of continuity between
the City's limits. Chair/Istik stated that some
of the right-of-way could be vacated to make it
unavailable for connecting the two cities.
VC/Leonard stated her approval of a street median
alternative.
VC/Leonard made a motion, seconded by C/Tamaya to
request DPW/Wentz to confer with the City Manager
regarding the Commission's direction and direct
staff to present recommendations and related costs
at the Traffic and Transportation Commission's
September meeting. Without objections, the motion
was so ordered.
VI. NEW BUSINESS
A. Draft Speed Hump Policy for the City of Diamond
Bar.
DDPW/Liu read the staff report into the record.
Staff recommends the Traffic and Transportation
Commission discuss and address the issues raised
in the report.
Chair/Istik conducted a straw poll of the
July 25, 1996 Page 4 T&T commission
Commission which resulted in VC/Leonard, C/Nice
and C/Virginkar (by proxy) being opposed to speed
humps and C/Tamaya and Chair/Istik in favor of
speed humps with restrictions.
DDPW/Liu responded to C/Tamaya that he believes
the City of Chino Hills' speed bumps were
installed by San Bernardino County.
Chair/Istik asked for public comments.
Craig Clute stated he is in favor of speed humps
with restrictions to slow the residential traffic.
He asked for the opportunity to review the City's
proposed speed hump policy.
Don Gravdahl stated that in his opinion, speed
humps are a liability and believes the City
Attorney would recommend no speed humps in Diamond
Bar.
DDPW/Liu stated the City Attorney's opinion is
that speed humps are a roadway design feature and
not a traffic control device. He advises that a
speed hump policy is dependent upon a risk
benefits analysis. Consideration would be limited
to speed humps on streets with a grade of 5
percent or less.
DPW/Wentz stated staff's policy is no speed humps.
The discussion concerns whether the Commission
wishes to recommend that the City Council adopt a
different policy.
C/Tamaya reiterated he favors a restricted speed
hump policy for streets of less than 5 percent
grade and with 75 percent of the community
favoring a policy with speed humps placed in
residential areas where small children are
present. He indicated his concern that residents
should be notified prior to any installation
taking place.
C/Nice respectfully disagreed with C/Tamaya. He
suggested that any resident who may wish to
consider a speed hump in their neighborhood be
July 25, 1996 Page 5 TAT commission
provided City literature explaining the reason for
the City's "No Speed Hump" policy.
Chair/Istik stated he believes speed humps may be
beneficial in some instances. He further stated
that the City of Pasadena has indicated the
vehicle speed has decreased by three to five miles
per hour as a result of speed hump installations.
VC/Leonard recommended "No Speed Hump" policy and
cited the potential liability and the
implementation costs. She reminded the Commission
that C/Virginkar has expressed his opposition to
the speed hump policy.
DPW/Wentz stated that the potential liability
involving speed humps rests with the City.
C/Tamaya made a motion, seconded by Chair/Istik to
continue with the City's current policy of "No
Speed Humps". The motion passed with the
following Roll Call vote:
AYES: COMMISSIONERS: C/Tamaya, Vice Chair
Leonard, C/Nice
NOES: COMMISSIONERS: Chair/Istik
ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: None
ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: C/Virginkar
B. Request to install a stop sign and centerline
striping at the intersection of Morning Canyon
Road and Presado Drive; and,
C. Request to install a stop sign on Minnequa Drive
at Bower Cascade Place.
AA/Aberra stated staff has investigated both
intersections in question and is presenting these
items to the Commission for consideration under
its previously established policy.
Chair/Istik asked for public testimony.
Mr. Gravdahl reiterated his request for a stop
sign on Minnequa Drive_ at Bower Cascade Place. He
indicated that in his opinion, potential exists
for a fatal accident at the intersection.
July 25, 1996 Page 6 T&T commission
Mr. Clute stated that in general, stop signs are
permanent and require warrant justification and
enforcement.
DPW/Wentz stated that if the Commission finds
merit for installation of a stop sign at one leg
of an intersection, the Commission must state the
reasons for justification. If the Commission
recommends stop signs at all three legs of an
intersection, staff recommends a warrant study.
With respect to Item C., C/Tamaya made a motion,
seconded by VC/Leonard, to install a stop sign on
Minnequa Drive at Bower Cascade Place. Without
objections, the motion was so ordered.
With respect to Item B., VC/Leonard made a motion,
seconded by C/Tamaya, to install a stop sign on
Presado Drive at Morning Canyon Road. The motion
failed with the following Roll Call vote:
AYES: COMMISSIONERS: VC/Leonard, Tamaya
NOES: COMMISSIONERS: Nice, Chair/Istik
ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: None
ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: None
The Commission concurred to accept staff's
recommendation for no centerline striping at the
intersection of Morning Canyon Road and Presado
Drive.
DPW/Wentz indicated that it is staff's intention
not to put stop signs at T -Intersections unless
there is potential need based upon sight distance,
grade and/or other vision related problems. In
the future, staff reports will detail, in an
adopted standardized format, the basis upon which
a conclusion has been reached as a foundation for
staff's recommendation. In addition, as policies
are adopted, they will be included in a Policies
Handbook.
D. Standard of practice for installation of
centerline striping for residential streets in the
City of Diamond Bar.
July 25, 1996 Page 7 T&T commission
DDPW/Liu read the staff report into the record.
Staff recommends that the Traffic and
Transportation Commission concur with staff's
recommended standard of practice for installation
of centerline striping for residential streets in
the City of Diamond Bar.
Chair/Istik asked for public testimony.
Debbie O'Connor, Bower Cascade Place, referred to
Commission at her letter of July 25. She
indicated that if it is the City's practice to
visit the residential street, complete an analysis
of the number of reported accidents, and the
width, length and grade of the street, visibility,
sight distance and other potential concerns, she
would like to see the results of the study for her
neighborhood prior to installation of the of the
double yellow centerline striping. She stated
that since her March inquiry to the Department of
Public Works, she has not had a response.
Mr. Gravdahl asked when the City plans to finish
the centerline striping on Minnequa Drive. He
suggested the centerline striping consideration
include street width.
C/Tamaya asked if Mr. Gravdahl believes the
Minnequa Drive striping should be a double yellow
centerline striping. Mr. Gravdahl responded that
either a single or double yellow centerline stripe
may be acceptable.
Mr. Clute stated in his opinion, centerline
striping is not effective. Stop signs appear to
be more effective in causing motorists to stay on
the proper side of the street.
DDPW/Liu responded to C/Tamaya that in accordance
with the Commission's request, the question of
centerline striping on Minnequa Drive will be
readdressed by the Commission after the Commission
has established a centerline striping policy. In
response to Mrs. O'Connor, the City did not, at
the time of centerline striping the residential
streets, notify the residents. Staff agrees that
July 25, 1996 Page 8 T&T Commission
notification should be considered with respect to
future requests. He indicated the residents views
are mixed with respect to vehicles passing on the
wrong side of Minnequa Drive.
VC/Leonard stated that she believes a single
yellow centerline stripe on Minnequa Drive would
suffice. Double yellow centerline striping is
overkill. She indicated she was able to drive on
the proper side of the street except in the curved
area where the motorhome is parked. In general,
sight visibility is good and she observed
motorists driving safely.
Chair/Istik voiced his concerns that too many stop
signs and too much striping is being installed
within the City. He stated he would prefer to
have certain criteria such as sight distance and
accident history trigger a yellow center line
installation.
DDPW/Liu responded to C/Nice that staff's
observations are reflected in the staff report
presented to the Commission.
Responding to Mrs. O'Connor and VC/Leonard,
DDPW/Liu indicated that the Commission could
request staff to re-evaluate and/or sandblast
certain portions of a street in order to remove a
double yellow centerline stripe. Staff's
recommendation is to keep the Minnequa Drive
double yellow centerline striping in place.
DPW/Wentz stated staff will reconsider the double
yellow centerline striping on Minnequa Drive and
bring a recommendation back to the Traffic and
Transportation Commission on September 12, 1996.
C/Tamaya made a motion, seconded by C/Nice, if
staff's recommendation is to stripe the unstriped
areas of Minnequa Drive, that it be striped with
dashed yellow centerline striping. The existing
double yellow centerline striping will be
reconsidered for dashed yellow centerline.
DPW/Wentz responded to Chair/Istik that staff will
July 25, 1996 Page 9 T&T Commission
agendize the centerline striping policy item ahead
of the Minnequa Drive centerline striping.
The motion was approved with the following Roll

dropping off children at the school; Rolling Knoll Road
accounts for approximately 30 percent of the daily vehicle
count, and Country view Drive accounts for approximately 2
percent of the daily traffic flow. He indicated his firm
was able to verify the survey figures which were
representative of the actual traffic volume counts. The
total trips per day entering and exiting the neighborhood is
7,000, the majority of which are generated by the residents
entering and exiting the neighborhood and student dropoff
and pickup at the school. The cut -through traffic is
minimal. Prior to the turn restrictions along Grand Avenue,
the neighborhood did experience a significant amount of cut-
August 1, 1996 Page 2 T&T commission
through traffic. He indicated that he agrees with the
residents that the traffic considerations involve the
traffic generated by the neighborhood and the school
traffic. Mr. Foust suggested that solutions to the traffic
problems involve such things as policy enforcement and use
of the radar trailer.
Mr. Foust reiterated his suggested traffic and speeding
issue mitigation measures might include additional stop
signs in designated areas (High Bluff Road at Quail Summit
Drive and Country View at Rolling Knoll Road); continued use
of the radar trailer; special street striping for
parking/bike lane/school loading and unloading in the school
area to narrow the street width perception; double
centerline striping on Quail Summit Drive in front of the
school; additional street markings to designate crosswalks
and 25 MPH speeds in the school area; and a warranted
traffic signal light on Diamond Bar Boulevard at Quail
Summit Drive.
Mr. Foust stated that while stop signs may tend to slow
traffic, he does not strongly advocate these installations
because it leads to the need for additional enforcement. He
indicated that with respect to residents' requests, he
recommended a one-way stop on Sand Ridge Road at Coyote
Springs Drive instead of a three way stop. He stated that
although the "Yield" sign on Deer Crossing Drive at Country
View Drive is adequate, he concurs that it should be
replaced by a stop sign. He recommended the Grand Avenue
Botts dots remain in place. He indicated he does not
believe the Botts dots create noise to residents of Country
View Drive. He stated he believes that residents may
experience an increased noise level due to the volume of
traffic on Grand Avenue.
Mr. Foust responded to C/Tamaya that double yellow
centerline striping incorporates approximately one foot of
space on the street and tends to make the street appear
narrower to the driver which tends to slow traffic. It
looks brighter and stays brighter longer than the skip
yellow line. In addition, it is unlawful to drive on the
opposite side of a double yellow line.
C/Tamaya asked if skip centerlines on residential streets
are effective in reducing speed. Mr. Foust responded that
the reduction in speed is approximately two to three miles
per hour.
August 1, 1996 Page 3 T&T commission
DDPW/Liu responded to VC/Leonard that a solid yellow line is
used as an edge line and not as a center line.
VC/Leonard suggested that staff contact Quail Summit
Elementary School to ascertain the proposed remodeling
plans. DDPW/Liu stated staff will be soliciting further
input from the school and from the residents prior to
forwarding a recommendation to the City Council.
C/Nice stated he is concerned about eliminating street
parking for residents. He would like to see the bus zone
located more southerly on Quail Summit Drive.
Chair/Istik stated he would prefer to see larger front yard
setbacks and narrower residential streets. He indicated the
recommendation for a traffic signal on Diamond Bar Boulevard
at Quail Summit Drive is ironic since residents indicated
traffic volume is a problem. He further stated that "and"
should be corrected to "at" so that Paragraph 3 on Page 1
reads: "A petition was submitted to the City Council
requesting that Country View Drive at Grand Avenue be closed
to eliminate cut -through traffic". He cautioned that the
City should carefully consider future density of homes
because of increased traffic volumes and speeding. He
recommended that the City provide a jogged curb for a school
bus turnout. The parents could then use the street curb for
loading and unloading.
Linda Beltran, 23308 Quail Summit Drive, stated she is
concerned that the proposed mitigation measures would
significantly change the look of her street and create
additional difficulties for entering and exiting the
residences.
Don Lemly, 1387 Rolling Knoll, asked if vehicles are allowed
to back out of driveways across double yellow centerlines.
Mr. Foust responded that although it is unlawful to drive on
the wrong side of a double yellow centerline, it is
permissible for vehicles to cross the double yellow line.
Mr. Foust responded to Mrs. Beltran that the school parking
restriction, if adopted, would be in effect 30 minutes prior
to the commencement of school and 30 minutes following
school dismissal.
Chair/Istik stated the City could subsidize the school bus
program in an attempt to increase ridership. In addition,
August 1, 1996 Page 4 T&T commission
the City could ask the school district if it would consider
reinitiating staggered hours. He further stated that
because of the in -progress citywide school study, he would
not be ready to vote on a recommendation for the school.
Mr. Foust stated the school is proposing a turnout
loading/unloading area and not proposing loading/unloading
on the sidewalk area. Chair/Istik responded that due to the
fact that the school does not incorporate staggered hours,
it is a certainty that parents will drop off and pickup
their children on the street sidewalk areas.
Chair/Istik opened public testimony.
Claudia Huff, 1641 Fire Hollow Drive, stated she favors
initiating less intrusive solutions and those that involve
the least cost to the City. If those solutions do not work,
move on to the next category. She recommended a stop sign
installations at Sand Ridge Road and Coyote Springs Drive,
Highbluff Drive at Quail Summit Drive, and Deer Crossing
Drive at Coyote Springs Drive to slow the traffic. She
asked the City to consider measures other than Botts dots on
Grand Avenue to mitigate the noise. She indicated she
favors a traffic signal on Diamond Bar Boulevard at Quail
Summit Drive. She further stated she does not favor double
yellow centerline striping, street signs and street painting
to mitigate the school problems. She favors discussion of
the traffic concerns between the residents and the school in
order to reach a compromise.
Jerry Hamilton, 1429 Copper Mountain Drive, stated he
believes the traffic study should respond to the resident's
concerns. He favors use of stop signs.
Jack Tanaka, 23805 Country View Drive, stated he had not
recommended removal of the Botts dots on Grand Avenue. He
asked if a portion of the dots could be removed to lessen
the noise.
DDPW/Liu responded to Mr. Tanaka and Chair/Istik that the
Botts dots installation was part of the Grand Avenue
improvement. The installation was completed in accordance
with State of California standards.
Chair/Istik asked Mr. Foust the feasibility of addressing
the use of thermal plastic in place of Botts dots. Mr.
Foust responded that thermal plastic is preferable to paint
August 1, 1996 Page 5 T&T Commission
and Botts dots. Chair/Istik asked that this option be
included in Mr. Foust's report to the City Council.
Audrey Hamilton, 1429 Copper Mountain Drive, asked why the
Grand Avenue Botts dots are placed so close together. Mr.
Foust reiterated the Botts dots placement on Grand Avenue is
in accordance with State standards. There are different
standards for freeways.
Hubert Wilson, 23649 Country View Drive, stated the
residents would prefer to preserve the character of the
neighborhood street rather than add striping and signage.
He indicated he has not seen enforcement in his neighborhood
recently. Absent enforcement, mitigation measures such as
stop sign and signage will be ineffective. He recommended
the City Council ask with the schools to accommodate the
change in traffic patterns rather than expect the residents
of Quail Summit Drive to incorporate street changes. The
school traffic should be taken off of the streets. Mr.
Foust's traffic study ignores the original concern regarding
noise pollution proposed by the Country View Drive
residents.
Audrey Hamilton suggested that because the school has a
large amount of property available that they install a
drive-through for parking, school buses and student drop off
and pickup.
Frank Beltran indicated he believes that prior to the City
Council voting on mitigation measures, the City should seek
cooperation from the Walnut School District to install a
secondary access to the property.
Don Lemley, 1387 Rolling Knoll Road, stated he is in favor
of initiating mitigation measures such as stop signs in
stages with minimal cost to the City. He agreed with
Chair/Istik that the widening of sidewalks should be
investigated. He further stated he is concerned that
installation of a traffic signal on Diamond Bar Boulevard at
Quail Summit Drive will increase the cut -through traffic in
the neighborhood.
Wanda Tanaka, 23805 Country View Drive, stated that a survey
of Country View Drive residents indicates they wish to
postpone the installation of speed humps on the street until
the noise study is completed.
August 1, 1996 Page 6 T&T commission
Art Ragazzi, 1335 Rolling Knoll Road, stated he favors a
stop sign on Country View Drive because cars entering
Rolling Knoll Road constitute a traffic hazard to the
Rolling Knoll Road traffic which has the right-of-way.
Hubert Wilson recommended that based upon Mr. Foust's study,
the City Council ask the City of Chino Hills to reopen the
Environmental Impact Report and look at the Grand Avenue
traffic impact.
Chair/Intik stated Chino Hills wanted a road through Tonner
Canyon to relieve the Grand Avenue traffic congestion as a
result of additional homes. Chino Hills could discuss the
possibility of a road through Soquel Canyon or Carbon Canyon
with San Bernardino County.
Mr. Foust responded to Chair/Istik that according to his
traffic count, approximately 35,000 to 36,000 vehicles per
day cross the intersection of Grand Avenue and Diamond Bar
Boulevard.
DDPW/Liu responded to Chair/Istik that although certain
issues may not be addressed by the Neighborhood Traffic
Study, the areas of concern addressed by the citizens will
be identified and included in the report to the City
Council.
Chair/Istik closed public testimony.
C/Tamaya made a motion, seconded by C/Virginkar, that the
Traffic and Transportation not endorse the recommendation
for double yellow centerline striping and white parking
striping. The motion was carried 5-0.
VC/Leonard made a motion, seconded by C/Tamaya, to recommend
installation of all -way stop signs at the following
intersections: Sand Ridge Road and Coyote Springs Drive;
Deer Crossing Drive and Country View Drive, and Highbluff
Drive and Quail Summit Drive, if warranted. The motion was
approved 4-1 with Chair/Istik voting no.
C/Nice made a motion, seconded by C/Tamaya to recommend
installation of a three-way stop sign on Country View Drive
at Rolling Knoll Road. The motion was approved 5-0.
C/Tamaya made a motion, seconded by VC/Leonard to make no
recommendation with respect to the school issue until the
August 1, 1996 Page 7 T&T Commission
school/school district is involved with the pick-up/drop-off
issue. The motion was approved 5-0.
Mrs. Beltran responded to C/Tamaya that she objects to a
traffic signal on Diamond Bar Boulevard at Montefino Avenue.
However, because a signal will be installed at that
location, there will most likely be a need to install a
traffic light on Diamond Bar Boulevard at Quail Summit
Drive. Mr. Beltran indicated a traffic signal at Quail
Summit Drive and Diamond Bar Boulevard will help the
residents entering and exiting the neighborhood.
DDPW/Liu responded to VC/Leonard that redesign
recommendations will be made with respect to the shopping
center driveway at Diamond Bar Boulevard and Quail Summit
Drive which will involve negotiations and, ultimately,
cooperation of the property owner.
RECESS: Chair/Istik recessed the workshop at 9:22 p.m.
RECONVENE: Chair/Istik reconvened the workshop at 9:35 p.m.
C/Virginkar made a motion, seconded by C/Nice to postpone
consideration of a traffic signal at Quail Summit Drive and
Diamond Bar Boulevard for one year.
DDPW/Liu responded to Chair/Istik that a traffic signal has
been warranted for Diamond Bar Boulevard at Quail Summit
Drive. It is more cost effective to design both the
Montefino Avenue/Diamond Bar Boulevard and Quail Summit
Drive/Diamond Bar Boulevard traffic light installations
simultaneously.
The motion failed 3-2 with the following Roll Call vote:

C/Tamaya made a motion, seconded by VC/Leonard, to concur

Boulevard and Quail Summit Drive, and to defer any further
action on the subject until staff provides the Traffic and
Transportation Commission with a design assessment of both
August 1, 1996 Page 8 T&T Commission
the Montefino Avenue and Quail Summit Drive traffic signals.
The motion was approved 4-1 with Chair/Istik voting no.
Chair/Istik stated his "no" vote is because he is concerned
about a potential increase in cut -through traffic as a
result of a traffic signal installation at Quail Summit
Drive and Diamond Bar Boulevard.
VC/Leonard made a motion, seconded by C/Nice to proceed with
the Neighborhood Traffic Study recommendation for a ladder
crosswalk marking at Winterwood Lane and Quail Summit Drive.
The motion was approved 5-0.
VC/Leonard made a motion, seconded by C/Virginkar, to
recommended that broken yellow centerline striping be

Chair/Istik made a motion, seconded by VC/Leonard, to
recommend that the City Council consider conducting a Noise
Study to address the Country View Drive resident's concerns.
The motion was approved 5-0.
C/Nice made a motion, seconded by C/Tamaya, to recommend
the Walnut Sherifffs Department Radar Trailer be placed on
the streets referred to in the Neighborhood Traffic Study
on a regular basis. The motion was approved 5-0.

II. COMMISSION COMMENTS:
VC/Leonard asked to be included in the October 12, 1996
Commissioner's Workshop. She asked for an update on
the Grand Avenue right turn lane at Summitridge Drive.
C/Virginkar and C/Nice informed staff that they would
also be attending the October 12, 1996 Commissioner's
Workshop.
III. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Tom Ortiz, 3308 Hawkwood, asked for an update on school
traffic. He requested that Placentia School and
Lorbeer Middle School be video taped. He stated that
this is the third time he has requested that Glen
Thomas, a resident, be contacted regarding his concerns
about street signs.
Craig Clute, 21217 Fountain Springs Road, requested the
City to discuss a three -ton weight limit Ordinance for
Diamond Bar. He stated he believes that Brea Canyon
Road is being used as a truck route during freeway
construction. He indicated he has not seen increased
August 8, 1996 Page 2 T 6 T commission
enforcement promised during a Town Hall Meeting held
approximately two months ago. He asked for enforcement
of the five new stop signs recently installed in his
neighborhood. He requested an update on the Country
Hills Towne Center left turn sign. He asked the
Commission to investigate the Diamond Bar High School
parking and speed restriction enforcement issue. He
requested the City consider diagonal parking on Brea
Canyon Road at Heritage Park.
V. OLD BUSINESS
A. Standard of practice for installation of
centerline striping for residential streets in the
city of Diamond Bar.
AE/Manela read the staff report into the record.
Staff recommends that the Traffic and
Transportation Commission concur with staff's
recommended standard of practice and guidelines
for installation of centerline striping for
residential street in the City of Diamond Bar.
VC/Leonard made a motion, seconded by C/Nice to
continue the item to September 12, 1996. Without
objections, the motion was so ordered.
VI. NEW BUSINESS
A. Request to further restrict parking on the east
side of Brea Canyon Road between Lycoming Street
and Washington Street.
AA/Aberra read the staff report into the record.
She indicated those who reside in the adjacent
condominiums presented the City with a petition,
along with the owner of the AM -PM Mini Mart on the
corner of Brea Canyon Road and Lycoming Street
have been invited to attend tonight's Commission
meeting. Staff recommends that the Traffic and
Transportation Commission recommend to the City
Council the installation of 1130 Minute Parking,
6:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m." signs along the easterly
side of Brea Canyon Road between Lycoming Street
and Washington Street and on Lycoming Street
between Brea Canyon Road and Silver Bullet Road.
August 8, 1996 Page 3 T & T commission
Chair/Istik opened public testimony.
Paul Hines, 863 Windwood Drive, stated the
residents are adversely affected by the truck
noise and pollution. Residents cannot sit outside
their homes and cannot have their doors and
windows open. He indicated the truckers have no
interest in cooperating with their request to shut
off the trucks and pay no attention to posted
signs.
Laura Lopez, 865 Windwood, stated she lives in the
condominium closest to Brea Canyon Road. Living
in the area is like living in a truck stop. She
emphasized that 30 minutes is a long time when
truck engines are running. It is very difficult
to watch television, talk on the telephone or
attempt to sleep with the truck noise. There is a
tremendous amount of noise seven days a week
created by truck traffic on the street in addition
to the noise created by the parked trucks. She
requested "No Parking" be allowed in the area.
Debbie Covarrubias, 805 Windwood Drive, stated
although she lives halfway up the complex from
Brea Canyon Road, the noise level is totally
unacceptable. With the increased traffic from new
industry to the north of the Metro Rail Station,
the noise has increased. New buildings are being
built in the area with more proposed which will
increase the truck traffic to an even greater
extent. She proposed that in addition to "No
Parking" on Brea Canyon Road, the height of the
sound wall along Brea Canyon Road be raised 12 to
18 inches to help mitigate the noise pollution.
She indicated that nearly all of the residents of
the 244 units have signed petitions asking for
action to mitigate the noise.
Ignacio Covarrubias, 805 Windwood Drive, requested
"No Parking" along Brea Canyon Road and that the
sound wall height be increased. He stated that
the truckers ignore the signs. As a Sheriff's
Volunteer Community Patrol officer, he is asked to
call in complaints to the Walnut Sheriff's
Department. He feels it is a waste of deputy's
time because by the time they arrive on the scene,
August 8, 1996 Page 4 T & T Commission
the trucks are gone and the deputy has been taken
out of the field. He asked the Commission to
assist the residents in gaining some relief from
this problem.
Craig Clute, 21217 Fountain Springs Road,
recommended "No Parking" signs be installed on
Brea Canyon Road to give the citizens relief from
the truck noise pollution.
Sgt. Rawlings recommended "No Parking" on Brea
Canyon Road. He indicated that in his opinion,
establishing a 1130 -Minute" parking zone will not
solve the problem for the residents.
Sgt. Rawlings responded to VC/Leonard that drivers
usually pay more attention to and obey red curbing
over signage.
C/Nice made a motion, seconded by VC/Leonard, to
recommend to the City Council red curbing along
the easterly side of Brea Canyon Road from the AM -
PM Mini Mart property line northerly to Washington
Street, remove the existing signs and install "No
Stopping" signs along the area, and direct staff
to notify the businesses along the westerly side
of Brea Canyon Road from the AM -PM Mini Mart
property line northerly to Washington Street of
the Commission's recommendation to City Council.
DDPW/Liu requested the Commission continue the
matter to allow the property owner and manager of
the AM -PM Mini Mart to appear before the
Commission to state their case.
C/Nice stated that in his opinion, the property
owner has been given ample opportunity to respond.
He further stated that he has been sympathetic to
the parking problems of the business owners.
However, in retrospect, he now agrees with
Chair/Istik that street parking is not available
to accommodate businesses. When AM -PM Mini Mart
built their business, they had certain
expectations. If they lose business as a result
of red curbing, it is business that they did not
initially anticipate.
August 8, 1996 Page 5 T & T Commission
VII.
VIII.
C/Virginkar reminded the Commission that staff's
original recommendation was for "No Parking".
Chair/Istik stated that in his opinion, the
businesses along the westerly portion of Brea
Canyon Road may not be concerned about the trucks
parking on the street since their businesses are
not open until after the trucks have left the
area.
The motion was carried 5-0.
Chair/Istik asked the concerned citizens to state
their concerns to the City Council. Tonight's
action by the Traffic and Transportation
Commission is recommendation and City Council
makes the final determination.
DDPW/Liu stated all businesses and residences
within 500 feet of the recommended action will be
notified when the item goes before the City
Council.
STATUS OF PREVIOUS ACTION ITEMS:
DDPW/Liu reported that the City
matter of the red curbing on the
Fountain Springs Road at Diamond
Planning Commission for further
recommendation.
ITEMS FROM COMMISSIONERS:
Council referred the
southerly side of
Bar Boulevard to the
discussion and
VC/Leonard referred the Commission to a letter from
Linda Baker, Delta Drive. AA/Aberra responded that she
spoke with Ms. Baker regarding the Neighborhood Traffic
Study. Ms. Baker stated she wants a response from the
Commission. Chair/Istik requested that staff prepare a
letter of response.
IX. ITEMS FROM STAFF:
Sgt. Rawlings presented the Monthly Traffic Enforcement
Update for July, 1996. The July Enforcement Index was
33.2.
Sgt. Rawlings responded to Chair/Istik that he agrees
August 8, 1996 Page 6 T & T Commission
that the parking citation figures are low. He
suggested that staff contact Lt. Stothers, Diamond Bar
Team Manager.
Sgt. Rawlings responded to C/Virginkar that the speed
trailer is operational. Options for deployment are
being researched.
DDPW/Liu stated the overnight parking issue will come
before the Traffic and Transportation Commission in
September. Discussion of the Diamond Ranch High School
secondary access road will be scheduled for September
or October.
VC/Leonard asked to review the Quail Summit Elementary
School expansion plans.
DDPW/Liu indicated staff will recommend that City
Council authorize a traffic study and that one
consultant be retained to study all of the schools in
both the Pomona Unified and the Walnut Valley Unified
School Districts. C/Nice reiterated his suggestion
that the City Council request financial participation
by both districts.
Chair/Istik requested the School Traffic Study status
be agendized for September's Traffic and Transportation
Commission meeting.
C/Nice stated he hopes the school districts recognize
that their cooperation is essential as a community
"good neighbor" in order to benefit the schools and the
residents.
X. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS - None
XI. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the
Traffic and Transportation Commission, C/Nice made a
motion, seconded by VC/Leonard to adjourn the meeting
at 8:57 p.m. to September 12, 1996. The motion was
carried with the following Roll Call vote:

SUMMARY (continued)
30, 1997, for the maintenance of eight (8) City Parks in Diamond Bar. This contract does not include the
natural area of Sycamore Canyon Park, which had recently accumulated a large amount of trash and graffiti.
During the last week of September, City staff worked with the California Conservation Corps to complete a one-
time clean-up of the natural area. In an effort to maintain the natural area in a clean and aesthetically pleasing
manner, staff has solicited a proposal from the City's current parks maintenance contractor to perform once
per week trash and graffiti removal in this area of the park. In order to implement this proposal, approval by
the City Council of a contract amendment and budget transfer are necessary.
The cost for the contract amendment is $193.50 per month. For the remainder of the 1996/97 Fiscal Year,
October 1, 1996 thru June 30, 1997 (nine months), the cost will be $1,742. For a twelve month contract, the
total cost of the contract amendment will be $2,322, bringing the total annual cost of the contract for
maintenance of the eight (8) City parks to $104,922.
The costs to maintain the natural area of Sycamore Canyon Park are not included in the current 1996/97 fiscal
year budget. In order to fund this contract amendment for the 1996/97 fiscal year a transfer of $1,742 from the
City's General Fund reserves will be necessary.

least 1/30 of its membership through apprenticeship
training on an annual basis statewide or locally,
or

employs registered apprentices on all of his
contracts on an annual average of not less than one
apprentice to eight journeymen.

employment of apprentices.

RESOLUTION NO. 96-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF DIAMOND BAR REVERSING THE PLANNING
COMMISSION'S DECISION OF DENIAL AND APPROVING
VARIANCE NO. 96-1, A REQUEST TO INSTALL A
SECOND WALL SIGN ON THE NORTHERLY FACADE OF AN
EXISTING COMMERCIAL OFFICE BUILDING LOCATED
WITHIN GATEWAY CORPORATE CENTER AT 1370 VALLEY
VISTA DRIVE, DIAMOND BAR, CALIFORNIA.
RECITALS.
1. The applicant, University of Phoenix, has filed an
application appealing the Planning Commission's denial of
Variance No. 96-1 located within Gateway Corporate Center
at 1370 Valley Vista Drive, Diamond Bar, Los Angeles
County, California, as described above in the title of
this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the
subject Variance shall be referred to as the "Applica-
tion".
2. On April 18, 1989, the City of Diamond Bar was
established as a duly organized municipal corporation of
the State of California. Thereafter, the City Council of
the City of Diamond Bar adopted its Ordinance No. 14
(1990), thereby adopting the Los Angeles County Code as
the ordinances of the City of Diamond Bar. Title 21 and
22 of the Los Angeles County Code contain the Development
Code of the County of Los Angeles now currently
applicable to development applications, including the
subject Application, within the City of Diamond Bar.
3. On July 25, 1995, the City of Diamond Bar adopted its
General Plan. Action was taken on the subject
application as to the consistency with the General Plan.
It has been determined that the proposed project is
consistent with the General Plan.
4. The Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar on
July 22, 1996 conducted a duly noticed public hearing on
the Application. At that time, the Commission denied the
applicant's request for a second wall sign.
5. On July 25, 1996, the applicant filed an appeal
requesting the City Council's consideration of the
Variance request.
6. The City Council of the City of Diamond Bar on September
3, 1996 conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the
Application. Due to the applicant's request, the public
B.
11Cail119 was conLinueu Lo septemAer L/, lyyo anu conuiuueu
on September 17, 1996.
7. Notification of the public hearing for this project has
been made in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune and Inland
Valley Daily Bulletin newspapers on August 13, 1996.
Twenty-five property owners within a 500 foot radius of
the project site were notified by mail on August 12,
1996.
Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is found, determined and resolved by the
City Council of the City of Diamond Bar as follows:
1. The City Council hereby specifically finds that all of
the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this
Resolution are true and correct.
2. The City Council hereby determines that the project
identified above in this Resolution is categorically
exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA) and guidelines
promulgated thereunder, pursuant to Section 15311 (a) of
Article 19 of Chapter 3, Title 14 of the California Code
of Regulations.
3. Based on the findings and conclusions set forth herein,
this City Council hereby finds as follows:
(a) The project relates to a 5.94 gross acre site
developed with an 84,000 square foot, two story,
multi -tenant commercial office building. The
project site is located within Gateway Corporate
Center at 1370 Valley Vista Drive, Diamond Bar,
California.
(b) The project involves the removal of the existing
ReMax wall sign and the installation of a 32.5
square foot University of Phoenix wall sign.
(c) The project site is zoned Commercial -Manufacturing -
Billboard Exclusion -Unilateral Contract (C-M-BE-
U/C). It has a General Plan land use designation of
Professional Office (OP).
(d) Generally, the following zones and uses surround the
project site: to the north is the Orange (57) and
Pomona (60) Freeway interchange; to the south and
east is the C-M-BE-U/C Zone; and to the west is the
Orange Freeway and the C-M-BE-U/C Zone.
(e) There are special circumstances or exceptional
characteristics applicable to the property such as
size, shape, topography, location or surroundings
which are not generally applicable to other
properties in the vicinity and under identical
zoning classification.
4
Tne proposed wall sign will be located on the
northerly facade of a commercial office building.
The office building has a lineal frontage of 432
feet and setback approximately 99.83 feet for the
public right-of-way. It's designed in a manner that
creates a facade with varying planes, thereby giving
the appearance of separate elevation. The varying
planes, excessive lineal frontage and substantial
setback impedes the view of the building's main
entrances and the existing University of Phoenix
wall sign when traveling northeast on Valley Vista
Drive. The referenced special circumstances and
exceptional site and building characteristics are
not generally applicable to other properties in the
vicinity and under identical zoning.
(f) The Variance is necessary for the preservation of a
substantial property right of the applicant such as
possessed by owners of other properties in the same
vicinity and zone.
Pursuant to the Sign Ordinance, Gateway Corporate
Center Guidelines and Gateway Corporate Center
Unilateral Contract, the applicant has the right to
install signage that gives visitors clear direction
to and on the project site. However, the building's
design interferes with the right to have visible
signs, a right enjoyed by owners and tenants of
commercial office buildings in the same vicinity and
zone. The granting of the Variance preserves and
ensures this right.
(g) The strict application of zoning regulations
including the City's Sign Ordinance, as they apply
to the property, will result in practical diffi-
culties or unnecessary hardships inconsistent with
the general purpose of such regulations and
standards.
In this case, the strict literal interpretation of
the City's Sign Ordinance would result in practical
difficulties because without adequate signage,
visitors will have difficulties finding the project
site which would be in conflict with the purpose of
the City's Sign Ordinance.
(h) The granting of the Variance will not be materially
detrimental to the public health, safety, or general
welfare, or injurious to other property in the same
vicinity and zone.
The proposed wall sign will facilitate vehicular and
pedestrian traffic as visitors to the project site
seek direction to the building area occupied by the
applicant, thereby decreasing confusion when
approaching and on the site.
4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth above,
the City Council hereby reverses the Planning
Commission's decision of denial and approves this
Application subject to the following conditions:
(a) The project shall substantially conform to site
plan, elevation and colors/materials board
collectively labeled as Exhibit "A" dated October 1,
1996, as submitted to and approved by the City
Council.
(b) The subject site shall be maintained in a condition
which is free of debris both during and after the
construction, addition, or implementation of the
entitlement granted herein. The removal of all
trash, debris, and refuse, whether during or
subsequent to construction shall be done only by the
property owner, applicant or by a duly permitted
waste contractor, who has been authorized by the
City to provide collection, transportation, and
disposal of solid waste from residential,
commercial, construction and industrial areas within
the City. It shall be the applicant's obligation to
ensure that the waste contractor utilized has
obtained permits from the City of Diamond Bar to
provide such services.
(c) The wall sign shall comply with the Gateway
Corporate Center's guidelines and the standards
setforth within the Gateway Corporate Center's
Unilateral Contract.
(d) Any surface irregularities as a result of the
removal and installation of any signs shall be
repaired (i.e. filing of holes, resurfacing and
painting to match existing building's finish).
(e) The applicant shall comply with the requirements of
the City's Planning and Zoning and Building and
Safety Divisions and the Public Works Department.
(f) This grant shall be valid for one (1) year and shall
be exercised (i.e. construction shall be commenced)
within that period or this grant shall expire.
(g) This grant shall not be effective for any purpose
until the permittee and owner of the property
involved (if other than the permittee) have filed,
within fifteen (15) days of approval of this grant,
at the City of Diamond Bar Community Development
Department, their affidavit stating that they are
aware of and accept all the conditions of this
grant. Further, this grant shall not be effective
until the permittee pays all remaining City
processing fees.

The City Council shall:
(a) Certify to the adoption of this Resolution; and
(b) Forthwith transmit a certified copy of this
Resolution, by certified mail, Robert McNichols,

CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Terrence L. Belanger, City ManageQb
SUBJECT: Increase in Contract Amount for Special Legal Services
DATE: October 1, 1996
RECOM1v1ENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize an

services related to Oak Tree Lanes v. Diamond Bar litigation and Days Hotel TOT
delinquency lawsuit. Mr. Michael Montgomery has been retained as Associate Attorney

agreement with Mr. Montgomery for $23,500. Staff is requesting an increase in the
contract for an additional $6,500. The total cost for legal services related to these
