8.1 SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 07(1997): AN ORDINANCE
OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR ADDING CHAPTER 10.50 OF TITLE
10 OF THE DIAMOND BAR MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO PARKING
CITATION PROCESSING PROCEDURES - On October 7, 1997,
Council approved first reading of Ordinance No. 7 (1997)
regarding administration of parking citations. The
Ordinance codifies the decriminalized parking citation
process. Cities are required to review the process for
collection and contesting of parking citations and to
establish a schedule of parking violation penalties, late
payment penalties, administrative fees, and other related
charges. Since the decriminalization, two additional
modifications have occurred which address time limits for
appeal of citations. The City has contracted with
Judicial Data Services, Inc. and the City of LaVerne to
administer the citations and provide hearing examination
services. Through the legislation to decriminalize
parking citations, the administrative process was placed
into the California Vehicle Code. The City, heretofore,
has not adopted municipal code provisions relating to
parking citation administration.
Recommended Action: It is recommended that the City
Council approve second reading by title only, waive full
reading and adopt Ordinance No. 07(1997) "An Ordinance of
the City of Diamond Bar adding Chapter 10.50 of Title 10
of the Diamond Bar Municipal Code Relating to Parking
Citation Procesing Procedures."

TOWN HALL MEETING

CALL TO ORDER: Mayor Huff and RDA Chairman Werner called the
meeting to order at 6:35 p.m. in the South Pointe
Elementary School Multi -Purpose Room, 20671
Larkstone Dr., Diamond Bar, California.
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Agency Member
Ansari.
COUNCIL MEMBERS PRESENT: Council Members Ansari, Harmony, Werner, and Mayor
Pro Tem Herrera, Mayor Huff.
AGENCY MEMBERS PRESENT: Agency Members Ansari, Harmony, Herrera, Vice
Chairman Huff and Chairman Werner.
Also present were: Terrence L. Belanger, City Manager; James DeStefano, Deputy City
Manager, Frank Usher, Deputy City Manager; and City Clerk Lynda Burgess.
2. WELCOME AND INTRODUCTION: Mayor Huff and Chairman Werner welcomed attendees.
3. OVERVIEW OF REDEVELOPMENT: ED/Belanger stated this is the second in a series of five
City Council Town Hall meetings on the subject of redevelopment. Tentative dates have been
set for future meetings to be held on October 25, November 22, and December 20, 1997 at the
following locations: Diamond Point Club House, Heritage Park Community Center and South
Coast Air Quality Management District Auditorium.
ED/Belanger explained that on July 15, 1997, Council adopted, by Ordinance No. 3(97), the
Redevelopment Plan for the D.B. Revitalization Area and the Redevelopment Agency adopted
R-97-15, a Resolution of the D.B. Redevelopment Agency declaring its policy to accomplish
redevelopment without eminent domain. Copies of these documents are available to the public
at City Hall and at Redevelopment Agency Town Hall Meetings. The Redevelopment Project
Area is comprised of all of the commercial and industrial areas together with the major road
thoroughfares which connect them within the City of D.B. 89% of the City's total property
valuation lies outside of the Project Area. He defined redevelopment as a process that makes
available financial resources to eliminate or alleviate economical and physical blight. These
financial resources are derived by receiving a greater percentage of incremental increases in
property taxes collected from property owners within a project area. He explained the process
using graphs to show the current allocation of property tax monies. He further explained that
these calculations do not affect the City's residential property which lie outside the Project Area.
Martha Bruske stated that the process would be better explained if the speaker referred to
business property tax and residential property tax.
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 PAGE 2 TOWN HALL MEETING
ED/Belanger stated that any commercial or industrial zoned businesses lying within the project
area are subject to the tax calculations. Residential businesses (home occupations) are not
within the project area and are not affected by the tax calculations. Residential property taxes
that property owners currently pay will continue to be allocated on precisely the same basis they
are calculated today. Regarding Assembly Bill (AB) 1290, he explained that the Redevelopment
Project Area Plan may only incur debt within its first 25. The Plan allows a 30 -year period from
its inception to set in motion the activities that are intended to meet the goals and objectives of
the Plan. The Plan has 45 years to retire the debt incurred within the first 20 years of the Plan.
In response to Chair/Werner, ED/Belanger explained that AB 1290 prohibits pirating of
businesses from one community to another community. Two types of such businesses are auto
dealerships malls and "big box" retail shopping malls.
Jerry Hamilton asked if a property such as K -Mart could be redeveloped since it already exists.
ED/Belanger responded that redevelopment funds can be used to redevelop existing properties.
AM/Harmony asked if redevelopment funds could be used to rehab existing properties and create
an auto mall.
E D/Belanger responded that redevelopment funds can be used to rehab existing urban
properties. However, AB 1290 clearly states that auto malls are not allowed under any
circumstances.
AM/Ansari asked what kinds of activities are allowed under housing set aside rules.
ED/Belanger responded that a variety of activities fall under the umbrella of housing set aside
rules: Housing assistance, rehabilitation loans for private property owners, etc and explained
low- and moderate- income housing.
In response to Jerry Hamilton, ED/Belanger explained that it is more likely that the type of low -
and moderate- income housing in D.B. would be in the area of senior housing.
In response to AM/Harmony, ED/Belanger stated that the Redevelopment Agency has not yet
defined the Project Area allocation of resources. Generally speaking, the only cities that have
separate Agency Member boards of directors are the larger California cities that have land use
objectives.
In response to Jerry Hamilton, ED/Belanger responded that redevelopment funds may be used
for redevelopment of existing commercial and industrial properties. Redevelopment monies may
not be used for construction on vacant land.
Don Schad asked if D.B. voters should be able to determine who serves on the Agency Board.
ED/Belanger reiterated that the voters elect Council Members who in turn serve as Agency Board
Members.
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 PAGE 3 TOWN HALL MEETING
In response to AM/Harmony and Jerry Hamilton, ED/Belanger explained that the golf course is
not included in the Redevelopment Project Area. The City's General Plan designates the facility
as "Golf Course" and not as industrial or commercial use.
Responding to AM/Harmony, ED/Belanger indicated that it would take approximately one year
to amend the Redevelopment Project Area.
M/Huff stated that the exclusion of the golf course property from the project area is a reflection
of the community's desires. A Project Area Committee must be comprised of members of the
community residing within the project area.
AM/Harmony asked what kind of citizen involvement took place in the creation of the
Redevelopment Project Area Plan.
ED/Belanger explained that 15 to 20 public City Council and Planning Commission meetings were
held to discuss redevelopment prior to Council's Adoption of the Redevelopment Project Area.
Martha Bruske asked Council candidates to explain how redevelopment benefits the citizens of
D.B.
ED/Belanger explained that all versions of the City's proposed General Plans contained
redevelopment as an objective. The City could not engage in redevelopment unless it is a
provision of the adopted General Plan.
AM/Harmony asked if the General Plan that was adopted in 1995 was subjected to a public vote.
Al Perez asked ED/Belanger to cite negative impacts of redevelopment
ED/Belanger responded that the impacts of redevelopment depend upon decision makers such
as city council members, consultants, and city staff. For all negative examples of poorly run
redevelopment agencies, there are numerous examples of positive results of well run
redevelopment agencies.
ED/Belanger explained to AM/Harmony that two requests by property owners to have their
properties removed from the Redevelopment Project Area were denied by Council due to their
non -conforming uses.
Martha Bruske again asked how redevelopment will benefit the residents and property owners
of this community and how the city will prevent urbanization.
ED/Belanger reiterated that no Redevelopment Project Area Plan is capable of being approved
unless it is consistent with and conforms to the City's General Plan. Undeveloped areas are
included within the Project Area Plan consistent with the City's General Plan. Land uses are not
determined by the Redevelopment Agency. Land uses for undeveloped properties are
determined by the City Council.
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 PAGE 4 TOWN HALL MEETING
Don Schad asked why Sandstone Canyon is considered blighted and the SunCal property is not
considered blighted.
ED/Belanger stated that the consultant and attorney recommended that, based upon a proposed
development project, Sandstone Canyon was determined to be blighted with respect to drainage
problems. When L.A. County approved the development, they undersized the inlet. The new
developer has had to correct the drainage structure. In order to provide protection, the area was
included.
Debby O'Connor asked if all redevelopment projects will be subject to the public hearing process.
ED/Belanger indicated that rehabilitation projects for existing properties and redevelopment
projects for new development to begin is a land use application and is subject to the requirements
of the City's General Plan, Development Code and CEQA. Redevelopment does not supplant
land use planning.
Martha Bruske expressed concern about the political fight over redevelopment and felt that when
we became a city, redevelopment was the plan to supplement the City's coffers when the
subventions ceased. She asked about the City's plan to buffer existing residential
neighborhoods. She believed the City's businesses were allowed to deteriorate in order to justify
redevelopment. She asked the City to find out how many home businesses exist in the City.
Further, she expressed concern that the redevelopment issue is not being voted upon by the
citizens and felt that citizens have a right to vote on what occurs in their city.
Don Schad said he was astonished about the lack of participation at this meeting and suggested
that the City provide notice of all public meetings to every citizen. He asked "how long is the
moratorium?"
Allen Wilson believed redevelopment will be a good step toward a long term solution to the city's
economic considerations. Council is elected by the people and is responsible to the voters. If
the citizens don't like Council's actions, Council Members can be voted out of office. He
suggested the City move forward in a positive manner.
Joe Ruzicka stated that if the citizens want more of their tax dollars utilized within the city,
economic revitalization through redevelopment will provide the vehicle. Redevelopment law has
been changed drastically by AB 1290 to insure protection for taxpayers. Redevelopment is a tool
the City can utilize with confidence, determination and watchfulness, to help make the City
financially stable. The City has to have the courage and foresight to proceed.
Clyde Hennessee believed that redevelopment is primarily for the benefit of the City's business
community and that business owners have good intentions toward the City. He further believed
that Redevelopment will benefit the community but he would like for it to be more difficult to
change the rules.
4. WRAP UP AND NEXT MEETING PLAN: AM/Harmony said he heard that some merchants
felt that redevelopment is causing their rents to be increased. He indicated that, as a result of
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 PAGE 5 TOWN HALL MEETING
redevelopment, developers could receive cheap money, fix up property and sell it at a huge profit
to the detriment of merchants. He believed the city will see a lot of small businesses close.
AM/Herrera said she has discussed redevelopment with numerous citizens who wish to leave
redevelopment decisions to their elected officials. Most of the public is satisfied with Council's
direction. Redevelopment will benefit citizens because it will bring in more sales tax revenue to
support retail and City programs, etc. Redevelopment will replace possible residential property
tax increases.
AM/Ansari said she is concerned about the negativity being spread around the community. The
City will lose almost $2 million in subventions which a cut in City expenses will not replace.
Council is mandated by the General Plan and needs to be visionary and proactive and focus on
business retention and enticing new businesses to relocate to the City.
VC/Huff cited numerous methods for citizens to voice their opinions and be heard. He pointed
out that only two D.B. residences are included within the Project Area due to their non -conforming
status - they are included in commercially- or industrially- zoned properties. Residential
properties will not be affected by changes in taxes. Redevelopment does not replace the City's
General Plan - it supplements the General Plan and is good for D.B. It will support economic
redevelopment without affecting the residential taxpayers.
Chair/Werner again pointed out that redevelopment can be used to buffer neighborhoods by
providing sound walls along freeways, mitigate traffic gridlock, create a central "downtown" type
of area, etc. He reiterated his belief in redevelopment and its benefits to the City.
Chair/Werner thanked the Town Hall Meeting participants

OCTOBER 2, 1997 PAGE 2 CITY COUNCIL
Department when he reported that two local campaign signs had been painted
over.
Allen Wilson reported that the Fire Department had difficulty getting their equipment
into the gated community of Hilton Head in response to a carport fire which severely
damaged three vehicles. He asked for assistance in resolving this situation.
Charles Lohan felt that D.B. does not have a facility of sufficient size to
accommodate 200 Senior Citizen Club members. He felt that a new senior center
should be a higher priority for Council.
Edda Gahm asked what had happened to the City's plan for an alternate road to
take the Chino Hills traffic off of D.B.'s streets. She referred to a Daily Bulletin
Article and asked who directed students to conduct a survey of the wildlife in
Sycamore Canyon, what entity requested the information and what will be done
with the study results. She stated the study appears to be a WCCCA study which
is administered by the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. She asked Council
to consider what happens
Sam Safari expressed concern about SunCal's proposed construction of
approximately 200 properties in what he termed the "last wilderness area" of D.B.
He requested the City issue a ballot initiative to place a moratorium on residential
construction in open space. He asked residents to attend the next Planning
Commission's public hearing on this item.
Doug Heideman said when he purchased his home he was assured that the SunCal
property would not be built out. He supported a ballot initiative proposed by Mr.
Safari.
M/Huff explained that SunCal had withdrawn their development applications.
Michelle Hickey spoke against the SunCal project citing increased traffic problems
and the problems presented by another gated community within the community
including loss of country living and open space.
Al Perez said he is pleased that the SunCal application had been withdrawn and
then spoke about campaign sign vandalism.
Don Schad thanked the Sheriffs Department for their assistance at a local market
while his group was seeking signatures for a petition. He showed a photograph of
a residential yard containing vandalized campaign signs. He asked the City to
clean out the storm drains before winter storms hit the area.
Lydia Plunk alleged financial discrepancies in the Wildlife Corridor Conservation
Authority materials. She expressed concern about inaccurate records and indicated
that WCCCA does not respond to her inquiries and concerns.
OCTOBER 2, 1997 PAGE 3 CITY COUNCIL
Clyde Hennessee commended the Walnut Sheriffs Station staff and the L.A.
County Fire Department staff. With respect to campaign signs, he said he noticed
many campaign signs posted on City property prior to the legal posting period. He
indicated that the City of San Dimas sells overnight parking permits for $2.00 per
month which appears to be a great source of revenue. He believed that the current
form of the City's code enforcement is a waste of money.
Tom Ortiz reported that he was missing a number of campaign signs. He
applauded the paramedics, ambulance service and Sheriffs Department for their
quick response.
Terry Birrell thanked Steve Nice for the School Traffic Study. She suggested the
traffic study incorporate issues within the surrounding neighborhoods. She asked
Council to approve an expanded School Traffic Study.

Paul Please said he felt he was not given due process when he received a
parking ticket.
There being no further testimony offered, M/Huff closed the public hearing.
CA/Jenkins explained that the ordinance merely memorializes the

which puts into the City's Code the citation system that is no longer heard by
the courts but administratively through the City. It is necessary as a matter
of State law in order for the City to continue operating.
C/Harmony suggested that staff prepare a report on the City's current

9. NEW BUSINESS:
9.1 DISCUSSION REGARDING THE INLAND VALLEY CAPITAL
CORPORATION - Bonnie Mizrahi, Foothill Independent Bank, representing
the Inland Valley Capital Corporation, explained that the IVCC intends to
become a community development corporation whose purpose is to fund
small existing businesses in order for them to expand or to remain in
business. Funding is not intended for startup business. Similar
organizations exist in the San Gabriel Valley, Riverside, Orange County and
San Diego. This is a one-time only grant and the corporation is seeking a
OCTOBER 2, 1997 PAGE 7 CITY COUNCIL
non-binding expression of interest from the City of D.B. Until the
Corporation obtains capital support from the banks, it is in no position to
request funding from cities.
Pomona City Council Member White spoke in support of the program.
Clyde Hennessee said banks are making risky loans. He indicated that, in
his opinion, this program is a method for shielding bad loans.
Frank Dursa asked if this is another way for this City to go into business with
bankers. He felt that this is a way to get cities to subsidize banks.
In response to C/Werner, Ms. Mizrahi stated that whether or not cities
participate, the IVCC will assist businesses throughout the target area.
Following discussion, M/Huff recommended that the subcommittee further
examine the issue, obtain answers and submit a report to Council for
consideration.
C/Werner moved, M/Huff seconded, to approve M/Huffs recommendation.

subventions for another two years. The City is continuing its marketing program to
attract new businesses to the community.
C/Werner encouraged citizens to attend the October 25, 1997 Town Hall Meeting
to learn as much as possible about redevelopment.
MPT/Herrera announced that she and C/Ansari had been visiting with local
businesses to discuss redevelopment. She indicated that most business owners

a request to participate in the Greater La Puente "Meals on Wheels" program and
requested that the matter be placed on the October 21, 1997 Council agenda for
discussion. She emphasized that the City is at a critical time in its planning for the
OCTOBER 2, 1997 PAGE 8 CITY COUNCIL

and choose positive and proactive leaders.

CALL TO ORDER:
Chairman Ruzicka called the meeting to order at 6:07 p.m. in the
South Coast Air Quality Management Auditorium, 21865 East Copley

Also Present:
Chairman Ruzicka, Vice Chairman Schad,
Commissioners Fong, Goldenberg and McManus
Deputy City Manager James DeStefano, Senior
Planner Catherine Johnson, and Associate
Planner Ann Lungu.
MATTERS FROM THE AUDIENCE/PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Don Gravdahl asked what the current code allows with respect to
concrete and brick work within residential front yard setbacks and
whether the Diamond Point Homeowners Association CC&R's allow
homeowners to concrete and brick their entire front yards. He said
it is his understanding that the City's Property Maintenance
Ordinance allows only 40 percent of residential frontage to be used
for parking. He spoke about his concerns regarding circular
driveways.
Mr. Pflugrath stated the "Off street Parking and Loading Standards"
require that driveways that provide access to garages having a
setback of less than 24 feet from the property line shall not
exceed the width of the garage door opening plus two feet. The
Development Code does not address circular driveways. Generally,
circular driveways are determined by the width of the lot and what
curb cuts are allowed by the City's Engineer. He suggested this
matter could be added to the Residential Parking section of the
code.
Mr. Gravdahl responded to VC/Schad that the homes in question
include two car garages.
CONSENT CALENDAR - None

Mr. Pflugrath responded that grill work and wrought iron
fencing is not limited to a height of 30 inches. He
indicated the information will be added to the chart.
Mr. Pflugrath responded to VC/Schad that swimming pool
fencing is addressed in the Uniform Building Code. He
referred VC/Schad to Special hall and , Fencing
Requirements, A. on Page III -22.
C/Goldenberg suggested that "Building" be inserted in A.

not necessarily the same person.

front yard setback of a home in his neighborhood.
C/Goldenberg requested that Mr. Gravdahl provide him with
a property address so that he may inspect the property in

lighting could be addressed under the Property
Maintenance section.
Mr. Zirbes asked if areas for affordable housing are

the fourth line of Paragraph I. under Purpose on Page
III -25.
VC/Schad asked that "streams" be added to Paragraph E.
under Purpose on Page III -24.
C/Goldenberg asked if a project site slope five (5)
percent or greater requires a handicap ramp.
Mr. Pflugrath responded that he will check the UBC.
VC/Schad asked that "with native or indigenous
vegetation" be added to the end of the paragraph entitled
natural slope on Page III -26.
Mr. Pflugrath indicated this requirement is stated
further into this section of the document.
Chair/Ruzicka asked that "to" be deleted from the third
line of Paragraph 1 under B. Exceptions on Page III -31.

C/Goldenberg stated his concerns about Slope Category 4.
within Table 3 on Page III -33. He asked that the
standards be identified.
DCM/DeStefano indicated the City's current code outlines
the provisions contained within Table 3 on Page III -33.
The Commission may wish to modify the conditions. He
cautioned the Commission not to restrict the property
owner's ability to develop his/her property. The current
categories allow the City to look at each case on its own
merits.
C/Goldenberg indicated he would prefer tighter language
which would still allow for freedom of development.
DCM/DeStefano explained to VC/Schad that the City's
Public Works Division regularly monitors the bench drains

ordinances. Notices are routinely sent to property
owners that the drains must be cleaned and maintained.

for Item 5. under B. Grading standards on Page III -35.
C/Goldenberg asked for clarification of the seemingly
conflicting height requirements contained in Item 7. a.
and b. under B. Grading standards on Page III -35.
Mr. Pflugrath responded that he believes the statements
are correct. He will check for accuracy.
C/Goldenberg asked that a graphic be added for Item 4
under C. Grading guidelines at the top of Page III -36.
VC/Schad asked that "the use of pumps or other systems"
be added to Items 3. and 4. under A. Drainage Standards
on Page III -37.
DCM/DeStefano stated the developer's technical
consultants certify the type of mitigation measures
utilized to dispose of drainage which is approved by the
City.
C/Goldenberg stated that with respect to the chapter
entitled Access, Trails, and Roadways A. Access, trails
and roadway standards. 1. and 2. on Page III -38, he
AUGUST 12, 1997 PAGE 5 PLANNING COMMISSION
believes the fire department requires a maximum of 15
percent is allowed for driveway grades. He asked that
"and turnarounds" be inserted in the last sentence of
subparagraph 1. so that it reads: "Parking landings end
t»rnaroiinda shall be utilized on all drives over 10
percent grade.
DCM/DeStefano stated the City has been operating under a
code that allows up to 15 percent of a limited stretch of
a street and up to 20 percent within a drive. This is a
policy issue the Planning Commission may wish to
reconsider.
C/Goldenberg stated he is concerned about the ability of
emergency vehicles to traverse certain areas.
The Commission asked Mr. Pflugrath to present his
recommendation.
VC/Schad asked that "Wildlife Migration Corridors" be
inserted in Item 4. under B. Access, trails, and roadway
guidelines on Page III -39.
C/Goldenberg asked for an explanation of Item 5 under A.
Architecture standards on Page III -40. He asked that the
second sentence be changed to read: "Decorative shielded
lighting to highlight a structure is allowed."
C/Goldenberg recommended that Item 3. under A. Fences and
landscaping standards refer to Page III -43 Item C.
C/Goldenberg recommended that Item 4. under A. Fences and
landscaping standards refer to Page III - 44 Item D.
Chair/Ruzicka expressed concerns regarding the use of
wood shake roofing materials.
DCM/DeStefano responded that strict standards are set
forth by the City's Building Official regarding the
percentage of roof that can be replaced with certain
types of materials. He advocated avoiding disallowance
of certain types of materials.
VC/Schad asked that "historical plant materials" be
-included in D. under Evaluation of Development Review
Application on Page III -44.
DCM/DeStefano stated that before the term "historic" is
inserted into the document, a definition should be
determined.
The Commission concurred to determine a definition for
"historic" in the Tree Ordinance with reference to Item
D. on Page III -44.
AUGUST 12, 1997 PAGE 6 PLANNING COMMISSION
Craig Clute asked if the Development Code calls out an
architectural review committee.
Mr. Pflugrath stated the Development Code does not refer
to a special architectural review committee. Staff would
continue this process.
Responding to Kerry Garza, SunCal Companies, 550 West
Orangethorpe, Placentia, C/ McManus asked that "Where
feasible" be added to the beginning of the third sentence
of Item 2. under B. Grading standards on Page III -34 so
that the sentence reads: "Where fensihte, top soil shall
be stockpiled during rough grading and used on cut and
fill slopes."
Mr. Garza stated his concerns regarding the term
"prominent" ridge as called out in the first sentence of
Item 5. under B. Grading standards since he believes he
is positioned to construct residences which conflict with
the proposed code.
DCM/DeStefano suggested the paragraph refer to the
definition of Ridge as stated on Page III -26.
Chair/Ruzicka asked for further discussion of Mr. Garza's
concern by the consultant and the Commission.
Mr. Garza stated he is concerned about the maximum of 30
dwelling units allowed for a cul-de-sac (see Item 7.
under A. Access, trails and roadway standards on Page
III -38.
DCM/DeStefano stated he believes 30 dwelling units was
specified in the Fire Code and Planning and Zoning Code
at the time the document was crafted.
C/McManus asked that "single family" be inserted prior to
dwelling units in Item 7. under A. Access, trails, and
roadway standards.
Chair/Ruzicka asked that 1130" refer to the code as
applicable.
Responding to Mr. Garza's concerns, Chair/Ruzicka asked
.that Item 1 under A. Fences and landscaping standards
provide reference to the Noise Control chapter.
Mr. Garza pointed out that "ion" should be eliminated
from Item D. under Fire protection standards on Page III -
43.
LANDSCAPING STANDARDS
AUGUST 12, 1997 PAGE 7 PLANNING COMMISSION
VC/Schad recommended that "fire sensing devices" be
considered under g. Drip irrigation on Page III -50.
Mr. Pflugrath suggested that fire sensing devices are
recommended by the City's Building Official and may not
be appropriate for the Development Code.
C/Goldenberg asked for explanation of the last sentence
under paragraph B. Final Landscape Plan on Page III -46.
C/Goldenberg asked if the requirement (8. Statement of
surety on Page III -46) for posting of a performance bond,
letter of credit or certificate of deposit for a two year
period is useful.
C/Goldenberg recommended improving the language of
Paragraph 2. Unused areas under Landscape Area
Requirements on Page III -46. He stated he believes the
current language may present development problems where
landscaping is required in the event that trees covered
under the Tree Ordinance were planted and then had to be
removed or replaced.
DCM/DeStefano responded that the intent of this item is
to not create a dirt pad area but to provide some sort of
landscaping to eliminate appearance, to deal with dust
control and the like such as the Gateway Corporate pad
previously used by the Ranch Festival.
Mr. Pflugrath responded to Chair/Ruzicka that he will
attempt to improve the language of the item for improved
understanding. '
C/Goldenberg asked that "unless a bond is posted" be
added to the end of the last sentence of Paragraph B.
Specific sone landscaping requirements on Page III -47.
Mr. Pflugrath responded that the inclusion of such
language would be appropriate.
C/Goldenberg, referring to the last sentence of Paragraph
C. Now single-family residences on Page III -47, asked how
the 50 percent figure was determined.
.0/Goldenberg said that some of the percentages indicated
on Table 3 on Page III -47 do not work.
C/Goldenberg stated that Item 6 and 9 on Page III -48
contain arbitrary figures.
DCM/DeStefano stated that with respect to Item 6, a five
foot wide landscape area is generally accepted as the
minimum width that can survive within an area that is
incorporated by curbing or some type of barrier that may
AUGUST 12, 1997 PAGE 8 PLANNING COMMISSION
prohibit root growth. He suggested that wording could be
incorporated to explain the different circumstances for
creating growth area.
Mr. Pflugrath stated the five foot wide minimum is a
standard that is incorporated primarily to aid tree
growth. If no trees are involved, a smaller planter area
could be specified.
Mr. Pflugrath commented that the three foot berms
discussed in Item 9 is typical.
C/Fong suggested that Item 9 include a statement that
when an earthen berm is required to screen parking, it
would not need to be a minimum of three feet in height as
long as it accomplished the desired aesthetic effect.
Mr. Pflugrath recommended Item 9 state that where earthen
berms are proposed without landscaping that they should
be a minimum of three feet in height. If the berm is
proposed in connection with other landscaping features it
could be less than three feet in height.
C/Goldenberg requested that "may" be used in place of
"shall" in the second line of Paragraph 5 on Page III -49.
C/Goldenberg suggested that in the event a 48 inch tree
was to be replaced, there could be difficulty with the
statement "in kind" near the end of the third line in
Paragraph 6 on Page III -49.
DCM/DeStefano suggested adding words that incorporate a
determination by the Director. The reason for the
current language is to prevent a developer from removing
a tree without reason or penalty.
C/Goldenberg asked for reconsideration of the language in
Item 3 under section A. Director to approve on Page III -
50. He indicated that this may be the proper place to
look for circumstances or requirements in that area.
DCM/DeStefano explained the language and suggested the
statement may be further clarified.

consultants and the applicant the opportunity to address
the Commissioners' concerns and respond to public
comments. The responses are presented in a
correspondence from the City's environmental consultant,
Michael Brandman Associates, dated August 5, 1997.
Additionally, a colored landscape exhibit has been
forwarded which delineates the landscaping on Lots 14 and
15, approved with Tracts 47851 and 48487 respectively.
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend
approval for VTTM 50314, Zone Change No. 96-1,
Conditional Use Permit No. 96-1, Oak Tree Permit No. 96-1
and Mitigation Monitoring Program, and recommend
certification of EIR No. 97-1 (SCH 96-0711104), Findings
of Fact and conditions as listed within the draft
resolution.
Mike Houllihan and Tom Leslie, Michael Brandman and
Associates, stated they are present to respond to
Commissioners' questions on their written responses.
C/McManus asked if, with respect to comment number 5. in
a letter directed to DCM/ DeStefano on August 6, 1997,
the consultants specifically looked for species and
specific signs.
Mr. Leslie responded that the survey encompasses an array
of items that are specifically sought. He concurred with
C/McManus that the statement should be extended to
indicate the items were looked for and not observed.
AUGUST 12, 1997 PAGE 10 PLANNING COMMISSION
Referring to Page 2, C/McManus asked why there is a
conflict with the U.S. Department of Interior Fish and
Wildlife Service regarding possible impacts of this
project on the Coastal Gnatcatcher and other items.
Mr. Leslie responded that one of the field biologists who
conducted the survey is a Permitted Gnatcatcher Biologist
and the other field biologist has had over 200 hours of
supervised gnatcatcher survey work. The biologists
determined, based upon the field survey, that this tract
is potential gnatcatcher habitat. Therefore, they did
not recommend nor did they conduct, protocol gnatcatcher
surveys.
C/McManus asked for comment on the statement in Paragraph
1, Page 3 which reads: "We agree that the impacts to
these habitats resulting from the proposed projects are
adverse and not mitigatible. However, the adverse
impacts to these natural habitats likely will be far
higher than noted in the DEIR due to indirect effects."
Mr. Leslie indicated the Fish and Wildlife Service is
looking at the region generally. He supposed that agency
personnel had not actually visited the property. If they
had visited the property and read the biological
assessment prepared by Michael Brandman Associates, he
believes they would concur with the report.
C/McManus pointed out that Paragraph 2 on Page 3
indicates that "These habitats also likely serve as
movement corridors for wildlife in this area. The
mitigation that has been prepared for the loss of these
habitats is inadequate". He pointed out that there is no
equivocation in this statement.
Mr. Leslie pointed out that the statement indicates
"likely". He indicated his firm conducted a movement
corridor assessment on the property which is discussed in
the two documents which indicates that the parcel is not
a part of the primary movement corridor, nor is it part
of the secondary movement corridor which would connect to
adjacent primary corridors.
C/McManus read from Paragraph 3, Page 3, which states:
"The measures that will be taken to manage and protect
the areas that would be left undeveloped are inadequate
and vague." He pointed out that there is no equivocation
in this statement.
Mr. Leslie stated that without having the author of the
letter present it is difficult to determine intent.
These are standard phrases used by the Fish and Wildlife
Service.
AUGUST 12, 1997 PAGE it PLANNING COMMISSION
Responding to additional passages from the letter, Mr.
Leslie stated the mitigation measures have been designed
to minimize as much as possible the introduction of non-
native species into the adjacent natural open space
areas. In addition, the mitigation measures replace the
walnut woodland and the coastal sage scrub at a
reasonable replacement rate in accordance with the City's
guidelines.
C/McManus suggested the consultant and the Fish and
Wildlife Service meet to reach a conclusion regarding
apparent items of disagreement.
Mr. Leslie responded to VC/Schad that as a result of
Michael Brandman and Associates' concerns about impacts
to various species, numerous mitigation measures have
been employed.
Chair/Ruzicka reiterated his understanding that this
project will fix a piece of land that is currently
subject to landslide activity.
Mr. Nelson responded to C/McManus that the Urban
Pollution Basin maintenance is provided for as part of
the Crystal Ridge Estates Homeowners Association budget.
Michael Brandman and Associates performs a five year
mitigation monitoring program for the removal of
construction debris. Subsequently, an easement is
granted in favor of the homeowners association for
collection on all slope areas after that period of time.
The five year monitoring program includes preservation of
the understory. Certain invasive species may not be
introduced into the level pad yard areas so that seeds do
not become windblown.
C/McManus asked who is responsible for what period of
time for maintenance of signs discouraging human
intrusion in natural open spaces of Tonner Canyon SEA No.
15.
Mr. Nelson responded that he will include funding for
sign maintenance in the CC&R's, if necessary. Certain
sections of the CC&R's cannot be amended by the
homeowners without the City's consent. He offered that
any areas of concern could be covered within the
annexation document.
C/McManus introduced a photograph of an oak tree on the
proposed site which indicates the street slope is cut
underneath the drip line and as a result, the tree is
dying.
Mr. Nelson responded that the photograph depicts a
transplanted tree and is not one of the protected trees.
AUGUST 12, 1997 PAGE 12 PLANNING COMMISSION
Lex Williman stated a total of 136 walnut and 68 oak
trees will be removed by the project. The developer can
select and relocate certain trees that appear to be of
value. Mitigation measures call for compensation of the
removed trees.
Mr. Nelson explained that when the developer removes a
tree, he is required to replace it at a 2:1 ratio or 4:1
ratio. A survival rate of 2:1 must be assured. The
developer has every motivation to be certain the tree
survives. However, the tree depicted in the photograph
is not subject to the revegetation plan.
Chair/Ruzicka reopened the public hearing.
Doreen Ferguson, Park Plan, Department of Parks and
Recreation, State of California, said her department
represents the natural resource and the people of
California. She indicated that this project is adjacent
to Tonner Canyon and SEA No. 15 which her department
feels is important to the preservation and future of the
bio -diversity in the State of California. She stated
that in her department's opinion, the DEIR survey was not
adequate. She further stated that a major concern to her
department is the major loss of any more native walnut
woodlands. This development seeks to eliminate 23.2
acres of the approximate 1,000 acres left in Southern
California which greatly diminishes the chances of
survival of the wildlife that this habitat sustains. She
stated "we view this loss as unmitigatible". At the rate
the State is losing its native plants places the wildlife
of Southern California in serious jeopardy. She said her
department agrees with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
in the areas of mitigation concerns and further study.
In particular, she stated her department would like to
see specific areas revegetated such as the southern part
of Tonner Canyon.
Ms. Ferguson stated she is speaking in place of the
department's Resource Ecologist who was unable to attend
tonight's meeting due to illness.
Ms. Ferguson continued that her department is concerned
that there is no mitigation proposed for the loss of the
coastal sage scrub understory which supports the coastal
gnatcatcher. The department is concerned that this area
was not adequately surveyed. She further stated that her
department feels the DEIR downplayed the impacts to
wildlife resources and lacked specificity for evaluating
the status -of plant and animal species that may be
present on-site. The DEIR does not prove that surveyors
were present for the appropriate number of hours. DEIR
responses should be related to the fact that this project
is in a significant ecological area that has been set
AUGUST 12, 1997 PAGE 13 PLANNING COMMISSION
aside to be protected. Her department asks that
additional surveys be conducted to determine the presence
of the gnatcatcher, cactus wren, loggerhead shrike,
burrowing owl, grey fox and the San Bernardino mattenking
snake as well as the plant species previously discussed.
Ms. Ferguson responded to VC/Schad that she is not
involved with the Whittier/Chino Hills Wildlife Migration
Authority Research. However, her partner is involved.
C/Fong asked what amount of time Ms. Ferguson feels would
be adequate to survey the site.
Ms. Ferguson responded that she will refer Mr. Fong to
the department's biologist. She stated her department
agrees with the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife
Service that because of the project site's importance to
the area (adjacent to Tonner Canyon and the SEA No. 15)
it increases the level of concern.
C/McManus asked Ms. Ferguson if her department can
establish survey standards and parameters.
Ms. Ferguson suggested that the City's Planning
Department work with her department to coordinate
development efforts.
C/Goldenberg asked the applicant to reach agreement with
the State of California in order for the Planning
Commission to reach a decision based on fact.
DCM/DeStefano responded to Chair/Ruzicka that there has
been ample opportunity for agencies to speak with the
City of Diamond Bar regarding their issues of concern
throughout the tenure of this project. The project is
the last piece of development in a series of approved
projects. The same level of cooperation has existed
between the City and its environmental consultant
throughout the project. The City believes the project
meets the requirements of the General Plan as well as,
the standards employed by the Zoning Ordinance,
Subdivision Ordinance, and good environmental practices
proposed as a result of the mitigation measures outlined
for the project.
Ms. Ferguson indicated to C/McManus that her department
recently went on-line with the State Clearing House and
learned of this project. In addition, there was no State
Planning Department staff for some period of time.
There was no further public testimony offered.
AUGUST 12, 1997 PAGE 14 PLANNING COMMISSION
C/Fong stated he believes the geology report should
reference potential impact to the east side of Windmill
Drive.
Mr. Williman said that Tract No. 48487 is a previously
approved tract. It was not ignored as part of the
evaluation of Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 50314. He
referred C/Fong to a letter included within the report
that indicates that VTTM No. 50314 does not have an
adverse impact and does not change the proposed
mitigation for VTM No. 48487. VTM No. 48487 has out -of -
slope bedding and shear keys proposed along the entire
edge. The project has a City approved geological report,
approved grading plans which are addressed in a letter
included within this project packet..
Chair/Ruzicka moved to approve VTTM 50314, Zone Change
No. 96-1, Conditional Use Permit No. 96-1, Oak Tree
Permit No. 96-1 and Mitigation Monitoring Program, and
recommend certification of EIR No. 97-1 (SCH 96-0711104),
Findings of Fact and conditions as listed within the
attached draft resolutions. The motion died for lack of
a second.
C/Goldenberg moved, C/McManus seconded, to continue
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 50314, Conditional Use
Permit No. 96-1, Oak Tree Permit No. 96-1 and Zone Change
96-1 to August 26, 1997 and request the applicant to meet
with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the State of
California Parks and Recreation Department
representatives to reach agreement. The motion was
carried 5-0.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
1. Conditional Use Permit No. 97-2 and Development Reviev
No. 97-6 is a request (pursuant to Section 22.40.430) to
locate and operate an unmanned cellular
telecommunications facility at Peterson Park. The
proposal is to attached two microcell antennas to an
existing light pole and construct a freestanding
equipment cabinet, covered by a screening mesh enclosure,
adjacent to the pole. The project will be located at the
southern perimeter of Peterson Park, adjacent to the SR
-60.

SP/Johnson presented staff's report. Staff recommends
that the Planning Commission approve Conditional Use
Permit 97-2 and Development Review 97-6, Findings of Fact
and conditions as listed within the resolution.
DCM/DeStefano stated 336 surrounding property owners were
noticed with one letter of dissent received by the City.
DCM/DeStefano responded to VC/Schad that utility
connections will be provided to the site from Golden
Springs Road for telephone service and from Sylvan Glen
Road for electrical service. A lease agreement is
proposed by L.A. Cellular to lease the facility from the
City at a rate of $1,000 per month for a period of five
years, and up to 20 years if L.A. Cellular exercises its
options.
Chair/Ruzicka opened the public hearing.
Rob Searcy, Terra Firma Services, 4617 Willits Avenue,
Sherman Oaks, representing L.A. Cellular, stated the site
is proposed to complete a transmission gap along the SR
60. The site proposes to co -locate- with existing
structures to minimize visual impacts. The eight foot
single directional antenna points down the SR 60 corridor
and will provide some service to adjacent residential
areas. He indicated the applicant's willingness to
consider modifications proposed by the Commission to
limit aesthetic impacts.
VC/Schad asked how power will be brought to the antenna.
Mr. Searcy responded that power is run underground up
through the conduit contained in the light standard.
Bob Zirbes said he has not seen the proposed plans. He
remarked that he feels children will be closer to the
site in a park than they would be with an installation on
the Stone's Darrin Drive property.
Craig Clute asked if the Darrin Drive applicants and this
applicant could co -locate at one of the two proposed
sites. He supports screening for the proposed chain link
fencing. He indicated he is concerned about the time
-allowed for project completion.
VC/Schad asked what effect the proposed antenna will have
on wind drag.
Mr. Searcy responded that the engineering calculations
were completed and turned over to the City's Building
Official in order for the applicant to pull a permit.
AUGUST 12, 1997 PAGE 16 PLANNING COMMISSION
C/McManus asked if L.A. Cellular and the Darrin Drive
applicants discussed the possibility of co -locating at
either the Darrin Drive or the Peterson Park site.
DCM/DeStefano responded to C/McManus that the Darrin
Drive applicants dismissed the Peterson Park site as an
inappropriate location for their system.
Mr. Searcy responded to C/McManus that L.A. Cellular
generally does not consider locating a free-standing
monopole structure in a single-family residential
neighborhood and therefore did not consider co -locating
at the Darrin Drive site.
Chair/Ruzicka closed the public hearing.
C/Goldenberg asked for indication of a realistic
installation time for this project.
DCM/DeStefano suggested that a minimum 10 month time
period be granted for the CUP.
AP/Searcy requested the 10 month time period be granted
from date of lease or issuance of permits, whichever is
later.
C/Fong moved, C/Goldenberg seconded, to approve
Conditional Use Permit 97-2 and Development Review 97-6,
Findings of Fact and conditions as listed within the
resolution, amend Condition D. on page 7, completion of
the antenna and related equipment shall occur no later
than 10 months from date the lease is signed or City
Building and Safety permits are issued, and with the
condition that the applicant provide chain link fencing
with screening material and landscaping to obscure the
fencing. The motion was approved 5-0 with the following

VC/Schad moved, C/McManus seconded, to continue
Development Review No. 97-4 to August 26, 1997. The
motion was carried unanimously.
CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING, Cont.
1. Draft Development Code.
Chair/Ruzicka asked for public comment on the Landscape
Standards Chapter of Article III - Site Planning.
Bob Zirbes asked if single family detached residences
could be included in Applicability A. on Page III -45.
Mr. Pflugrath suggested "tract development" be eliminated
from Item C. on Page III -47 and that the requirement be
limited to the front yard area. The "exception to
single-family detached residences will be eliminated from
Paragraph A. under Applicability on Page 45.
HATER EFFICIENT LANDSCAPE STANDARDS.
Mr. Pflugrath presented the Water Efficient Landscape
Standards chapter beginning on Page III -51.
C/Goldenberg asked if Diamond Bar is exploring the use of
hind -sensing devices under Definitions on Page III -52.
C/McManus asked what triggers the "documentation package"
referred to in Item A. Submittal required under

be added following j. under 3. Landscape design plan
requirements on Page III -54.
AUGUST 12, 1997 PAGE 18 PLANNING COMMISSION
Mr. Pflugrath stated a list of invasive plants would need
to be provided.
DCM/DeStefano suggested that this request be studied by
staff for proper placement such as the Landscape section.
With respect to the list of invasive plants, it may be
more appropriate to list a source of invasive plants be
cited.
Craig Clute concurred with VC/Schad regarding invasive
plants. He suggested recycled water be considered for
use on a wider basis throughout the City.
Bob Zirbes asked for a better definition of "A.
Homeowner -provided landscaping at single-family and
residential projects;" under Applicability on Page III -
52.
Mr. Pflugrath responded that this statement is proposed
to separate it from the contract/developer provided
landscaping which is required under the Landscape
section.
PLANKING COMMISSION ITEMS:
C/Fong asked staff for an update with respect to Mr. Clute's
request concerning the cellular antenna site at the SR 57/SR 60
interchange.
DCM/DeStefano responded that the Walnut Pools cellular site is
being pursued by the second applicant. The applicant has not
submitted plans nor received building permits and therefore,
improvements required by the Planning Commission have not occurred.
There is approximately six to eight months left on the two year
Planning Commission approval.

AUGUST 19, 1997 PAGE 2 PLANNING COMMISSION
Steve Tye asked how noise levels are measured on
residential properties that back up to industrial
properties.
Mr. Pflugrath responded that the noise level for
residential would be measured according to the criteria
for Noise Zone II (Page III -66) within the boundaries of
the residential property.
SP/Johnson responded to Bob Zirbes that the City's
ambient noise level is called out in the General Plan.
OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING STANDARDS (Pages III -72 through
III -92)
C/McManus asked how Item C. Vehicles for sal• on Page
III -73 can be enforced without a code enforcement officer
being available on weekends.
C/Goldenberg asked if a residential room addition can be
completed if the unit suffers from non -conforming
parking.
SP/Johnson explained that if a violation was uncovered
upon inspection, the building permit would not be
approved. It is illegal to remove parking (See H.
Parking and loading to be unrestricted on Page III -73).
Mr. Pflugrath explained that room addition building
permits are procedural matters for City staff's review
and approval.
Chair/Ruzicka stated that C/Goldenberg's concern warrants
more definitive language within the code. This is a
violation that occurs within the City with some
frequency.
Mr. Pflugrath referred the Commission to D. Nonconforming
status on Page III -73 and suggested that a section be
added for single family residential.
Chair/Ruzicka responded to Mr. Pflugrath that a thorough
inspection should be triggered by any building permit
request.
Chair/Ruzicka stated his concerns regarding the lack of
sufficient on-site parking at Diamond Bar High School.
Mr. Pflugrath responded that most school district's do
not provide the correct number of parking spaces. He
suggested signage be placed on residential streets to
curb the parking.
AUGUST 19, 1997 PAGE 3 PLANNING COMMISSION
C/Goldenberg asked that "as provided in Table XX on Page
XX" be added to Paragraph G. Company-owned vehicles on
Page III -74 for clarification.
Regarding VC/Schad's concern regarding parking
availability for the Heritage Park Community Center, Mr.
Pflugrath referred the Commission to Performance
theaters, meeting halls and memhership organizations in
Table 3-xx on Page III -77.
C/Goldenberg asked that "Bowling alleys" be changed to
"Bowling center¢" in Table 3-xx on Page III -76.
C/Goldenberg asked that a definition be provided for
"ancillary uses". (See Table 3-xx on Page III -76. - e.g.)
C/Goldenberg stated he believes the Code should
incorporate "guest parking" for new hillside development
in addition to the required parking.
Mr. Pflugrath suggested that language be provided to
indicate that parking will be required "at the discretion
of the Director".
C/Goldenberg suggested the City consider offering "in
lieu fees" to acquire public parking area be included in
Reduction of Ott -Street Parking Requirements for Shared
Use on Page III -81.
C/Goldenberg reiterated his concerns regarding concreting
of single family residential front yard areas. (See Page
III -82). He stated he believes the code should include
an acceptable standard.
C/Goldenberg recommended that with respect to Page III -
85, the landscaping should define the ingress and egress
points of the driveway.
Mr. Pflugrath responded to Chair/Ruzicka that property
owners who have created additional parking by concreting
front yard areas may be in violation of the current code.
Responding to Chair/Ruzicka, Mr. Pflugrath stated he
believes Real Estate laws require disclosure of non-
conforming situations upon listing of the property for
sale.
C/McManus asked if whether a fence that has been
illegally allowed to stand on a property for a certain
period of time becomes the property of the current
property owner.
Mr. Pflugrath responded that the judicial system may find
that it is unreasonable for a City requires a building
AUGUST 19, 1997 PAGE 4 PLANNING COMMISSION
owner to correct a situation that has been in place for
a number of years.
Mr. Pflugrath indicated to Chair/Ruzicka that he will
research the situation and advise the Commission.
C/Goldenberg stated that enforcement depends on the
philosophy of the City Council.
C/Fong arrived at 7:15 p.m.
Chair/Ruzicka stated that if a future City Council
chooses to be more proactive, the Development Code will
provide the vehicle.
Mr. Pf lugrath referred the Commission to E. Driveway
width and length on Page III -89 in response to
C/Goldenberg's concerns regarding concreting of single
family residential front yard areas. He indicated that
he has noted future discussion of 1. Circular drives and
2. driveway width maximums.
C/Goldenberg recommended that "five" feet be changed to
"seven" feet in the third line of 6. perimeter parking
lot landscaping a. Adjacent to streets to allow two feet
for bumper overhang. The Commission concurred.
VC/Schad stated that some of the City's major grocery
stores place grocery carts on sidewalk areas immediately
adjacent to parking areas which creates a pedestrian
hazard. He asked if the code can provide for adequate
walkways.
Mr. Pflugrath indicated that in order to implement the
code, compliance would be required at the time of
addition or remodel on a case by case basis. Compliance
could not be required on a retroactive basis. He
indicated that grocery markets are required by ADA and
Fire Code to maintain a clear four foot access way.
C/Goldenberg recommended "When provided," be added to the
beginning of the last sentence under M. wheel
stops/curbing on Page III -88 so that the sentence reads:
"When proviAeA, wheel stops shall be placed to allow for
two feet of vehicle overhang area within the dimension of
the parking space."
Mr. Pflugrath stated R. Clearance from obstruction will
be renumbered "F." and F. Traffic safety sight area will
be renumbered "G." on Page III -89.
C/Goldenberg stated that the Fire Department requires
driveways for multi -family uses with more than six units
to have a minimum paved width of 1126" feet instead of
AUGUST 19, 1997 PAGE 5 PLANNING COMMISSION
1124" feet (see e. driveway width and length, 2. multi-
family uses. b. on Page III -89.
VC/Schad recommended location requirements be added to B.
Bicycle parking design and devices c. on Page III -90.
Craig Clute commented that with respect to dBa levels,
CalTrans uses a "b" weighted scale. The City uses an "a"
weighted scale.
Mr. Pflugrath stated that he is unaware of any zoning
document that contains other than an "a" weight scale.
Mr. Clute stated his concerns regarding possible code
violations with respect to business uses on Golden
Springs Drive east of the Brea Canyon Road intersection.
Tom VanWinkle commented that the ingress/egress for
Coco's Restaurant area west of Brea Canyon Road on Golden
Springs Drive presents a safety hazard.
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS (Page III -93 and III -94).
Mr. Pflugrath presented the Chapter entitled Planned
Development Standards.
RECESS: Chair/Ruzicka recessed the meeting at 7:50 p.m.
RECONVENE: Chair/Ruzicka reconvened the meeting at 8:00 p.m.
PROPERTY MAINTENANCE STANDARDS (Page III -95 through III -105)
Mr. Pflugrath responded to C/McManus that personal use
vehicles are not covered under C. Motor vehicle parking
on Page III -97.
In response to Chair/Ruzicka, Mr. Pflugrath indicated
this community responds on a complaint basis only. Older
communities tend to have strict and active code
enforcement and use uniformed officers that carry badges
and have citation authority.
C/Fong asked that e.g. dead branches, dead palm fronds,
dead lawns, etc. be added at the end of paragraph E.
-Landscape maintenance on Page III -97.
Chair/Ruzicka requested the "exit" be corrected to
"exist" at the beginning of line three under A. Public
nuisance and nuisance per se 2. written notice on Page
III -100.
Craig Clute commented that it is unfortunate the City is
on a reactive basis with respect to code enforcement.
AUGUST 19, 1997 PAGE 6 PLANNING COMMISSION
Mr. Pflugrath responded to Mr. Clute that this
Development. Code does not address on street parking
because it is in the public right-of-way.
C/McManus stated although the proposed Development Code
offers more authority the City is reactive rather than
proactive.
C/Fong stated his concerns regarding the proliferation of
multi-ethnic commercial signage (See Page III -112). He
indicated he would like to see that signage is
predominately English.
Mr. Pflugrath referred C/Fong to R. Sign copy on page
III -112.
C/Goldenberg stated that signs may not be legally
restricted for aesthetic reasons. The legal basis for
the Health and Safety Ordinance and Development Code
should be indicated.
Mr. Pflugrath indicated he will speak with CA/Jenkins
regarding this matter and advise the Commission.
Chair/Ruzicka confirmed to Mr. Pflugrath that if there is
no legal conflict, the Commission wishes a 50 percent or
more English reference contained within the code.
VC/Schad requested that Item 6. under D. Illumination of
signs indicate "Par type lamps are safe for exterior
use".
SP/Johnson indicated that DCM/DeStefano recommended all
Development Code definitions be placed in Article VII for
consistency.
Following discussion, the Commission concurred to place
the Development Code definitions within Chapter VII.
C/Goldenberg suggested that A. Permanent signs with no
size limitation be changed to "A. Permanent signs without
specific size limitation under Exemptions From Sign
Permits on Page III -113.
Mr. Pflugrath responded to C/McManus that H. Permanent
signs limited by mazimum size 6. on Page III -114 should
include "in area" in the last sentence so that it reads:
"These signs shall not exceed four square feet in area
and five feet in height; and".
C/McManus ask@d for a definition of "Pole -mounted signs"
within Article VII (See N. on Page III -118).
AUGUST 19, 1997 PAGE 7 PLANNING COMMISSION
Mr. Pflugrath responded to C/Goldenberg that W. on Page
III -118 refers to commercial. Residential lighting can
be included in Property Maintenance - Single or multiple
family residential. He indicated he will confer with the
City Attorney regarding this matter.
C/McManus asked that "except those classified as seasonal
decorations" be stricken from the last sentence of B.
Amortisation 1. Temporary signs a. 90 days so that the
sentence reads: "Paper, cloth and cardboard signs,
banners, balloons, flags, bunting, portable signs,
moving, flashing and scintillating signs, and other
similar signs."
C/Goldenberg suggested that B. Freestanding signs be
changed to read: B. Freestanding monument signs on Page
III -120.
An extensive discussion was conducted with respect to
Item d. under Z. Temporary advertising/promotional signs
and devices and the need for increased enforcement.
Mr. Pflugrath recommended that staff's report to the City
Council include enforcement concerns expressed by
Commissioners.
VC/Schad recommended that Prohibited Signs include t.-ee
mounted signs (See Pages III -118 and 119).
C/Goldenberg requested that the size of letters and
numbers be included in Table 3-Z SIGN STANDARDS BY ZONING
DISTRICT on Page III -125.
Mr. Pflugrath recommended this information be included on
Page III -114 under B. Permanent signs limited by maximum
size 1 with reference to the Code section.
Mr. Pflugrath responded to Mr. Clute that he believes
that regulation of temporary signage could result in a
code enforcement nightmare. In his opinion, the code
should address permanent signage. He explained that
there are two provisions for signage: Overall building
sign area based upon two square feet per lineal front
footage of the building and window signs no more than 25
percent of the total window area.
Mr. Pflugrath indicated to Mr. Clute that curb painting
is regulated by the City's Public Works Department.
SP/Johnson explained the City's Temporary Sign process to
Mr. Clute.
Chair/Ruzicka explained to Mr. VanWinkle that the
Commission's objective is to author a uniform development
AUGUST 19, 1997 PAGE 8 PLANNING COMMISSION
code of which the City can be proud. Issues of specific
problems and their enforcement are not being discussed
tonight because it is not tonight's goal. As a result of
discussion, potential problems are brought to the
attention of the staff for further consideration.
Bob Zirbes suggested that 1 space for each 100 sq. ft. of
gross floor area be changed to "l space for each U sq.
ft. of floor area for Restaurants, fast food in Table 3 -
XX on Page III -79 (middle of page).
Mr. Pflugrath indicated that Mr. Zirbes' recommendation
would be at the low end of the scale.
Mr. Zirbes recommended that Table 3 -XX Minimum Parking
Stall and Lot Dimensions be changed to indicate a length
of 12 feet including bumper overhang instead of 18 feet,
and that the width be increased to 2 or 1Q feet for
parking lots that experience frequent turnover and not
for office building parking lots.
SP/Johnson responded to Mr. Zirbes that the
recommendation is a compromise to incorporate the
elimination of compact parking spaces within the City.
In addition, the intent of the provision is to avoid non-
conformity in creating additional spaces within an
existing parking lot.
Mr. Zirbes, referring to Item G. Maintenance of common
areas 3., suggested including common language to require
the developer to assist homeowners to form their own
association upon completion or sale of a certain number
of units.
Mr. Zirbes recommended that language be included in the
CC&R's to address view obstructing vegetation.
Mr. Zirbes asked for a definition of "considerable" as
indicated in the first sentence of Public Nuisance under
Definitions on Page III -95. He said he believes "one
person" could be considerable and he indicated he would
like to recommend that "considerable" be stricken from
the sentence.
Mr. Pflugrath indicated he would consult the State Code
for language.
Mr. Zirbes asked that "exterior dilapidated conditions"
be defined (See C. Building maintenance on Page III -96
and other areas of the proposed code).
Mr. Pflugrath recommended that a general definition be
included on Page III -95.
AUGUST 19, 1997 PAGE 9 PLANNING COMMISSION
C/Fong returned to the meeting at 10:15 p.m.
Mr. Zirbes recommended that "forces" be changed to
"personnel" in the fifth line of b. Removal of the
dangerous condition(s) so that the line reads:
11... isolate the dangerous condition(s), with the use of
City personnel or a contractor retained..."
Mr. Zirbes asked for discussion of "Garage Sale" within
the code.
Mr. Pflugrath recommended the addition of f. Garage sale
signs with notation for permitted size, hours and
placement under C. Temporary signs limited by size and
period of display on Page III -115.
Mr. Zirbes stated that future City Councils may chose to
be proactive. The Commission needs to provide the
Council with appropriate codes and language to allow
enforcement.

Mr. Pflugrath continued with Article III presentation for
the Chapter entitled Tree Preservation and Protection
(Page III -129 thru III -136.
VC/Schad requested the second line of I. DBE (diameter at
breast height) on Page III -130 be changed to read:
"...feet at the lowest point of the natural grade etc."
Following discussion, the Commission concurred to change
the second line as follows: Omit "highest point of the

"...feet at the existing grade adjacent to the trunk."
AUGUST 26, 1997 PAGE 2 PLANNING COMMISSION
VC/Schad requested that the first line of X. Protection
sone. on Page III -130 be changed to read as follows:
"The area within the drip line of a tree and extending to
a point at least 1_5 feet" instead of five feet.
Following discussion, the Commission did not concur to
accept VC/Schad's request.
C/McManus read the following and asked that it be entered
into the minutes verbatim:
Trees are a Danger in Diamond Bar
Expressing every goal, need, wish, or itch as a "right" -
either fundamental or inalienable - is almost mandatory
these days. Here is a newly discovered right: The
fundamental rights of trees and rocks. "Trees and rocks
have rights to their own freedom," said Michael
McCloskey, Chairman of the Sierra Club.
In Schiller's "William Tell", the rural Swiss realize
their ancient liberties are in danger when the new
bailiff rides up to accost one of them for the offense of
erecting a dwelling on his own land. "I am the Regent in
the Emperor's stead and will not have the peasants
building houses of their own will and living lives as
freely as if they were the masters in this country." The
Villagers fear before long, the new overlords will turn
their very forests and meadows into game preserves for
the amusement of courtiers from the city. She governs
best who governs least!
Today it is routine to read of a landowner denied
permission to build a house, lay down a gravel path or
plant or trim a tree. Much of rural America is in open
revolt against the laws that require such permissions.
To thi day, neither special interest groups nor
governmental officials seem to understand the anger of
the landowners.
The laws and regulations pub in place to "save and
protect" fit a pattern. An item or some amenity is
identified that an affluent society might wish to buy
more of. The next step is to draft laws simply
commanding owners to preserve and protect it, often
barbed with criminal penalties. Once a person has shown
that swamps or trees are ecologically valuable, they have
proved the case for ordering the owners to maintain them
forever at whatever sacrifice. "The equivalent would be
for an admiral to say that because the U.S. needs a navy,
the government can take your land for dockyard without
paying you."
AUGUST 26, 1997 PAGE 3 PLANNING COMMISSION
It used to be that Uncle Sam would buy land when he
expanded a national park or set aside a wildlife refuge.
That is the method contemplated in the Bill of Rights,
whose Fifth Amendment reads in part, "nor shall private
property be taken for public use without just
compensation." Now officials have learned the trick:
Leave title with the owner and freeze use.
Absent physical invasion, there has been no taking, so
not a dime is owed. Or that is what officials keep
arguing with a straight face.
The laws banning the trimming of trees, etc., are now
absurdly written and very loosely defined. Drafters of
regulations actually prefer vague prohibitions that force
landowners into negotiations in which the agency bargains
from strength. One result has been the transfer of power
and wealth to lawyers on both sides.
Having to pay for takings imposes both a pragmatic and a
moral discipline on those who wield power: "If you must
pay, then it forces thought about what is really valuable
and what is not. If the property is free, the outcome is
obvious: take everything you can get your hands on." As
for the moral side of things, well, trading is ethically
superior to stealing. "The pro -property forces should
stand firmly where they belong, on the moral high
ground."
VC/Schad requested that the first line of B. under Tree
Replacement/Relocation Standards on Page III -133 be
changed as follows: "Replacement trees shall be planted
at a minimum 4:1 ratio for residential properties
..etc." instead of a 2:1 ratio. Following discussion,
the Commission did not concur to accept VC/Schad's
request. Mr. Pflugrath pointed out that the last
sentence of paragraph B. gives the Director or Commission
the ability to grant exceptions and to require a greater
replacement ratio based upon considerations 1., 2. and 3
listed on Page III -134.
Mr. Pflugrath pointed out that E. Enforcement. 1. is
corrected to read as follows: "Any person who cuts,
damages, or moves a protected tree in violation of this
Chapter shall be deemed guilty of en infraction or a
misdemeanor in cov�pliance with Section 22.XXX legal
=pined; es . "
Mr. Pflugrath responded to C/McManus that information
regarding legal remedies should be requested from the
City Attorney.
Chair/Ruzicka asked for public comment.
AUGUST 26, 1997 PAGE 4 PLANNING CONXISSION
Bob Zirbes said his first thought upon reading the
proposed Tree Preservation and Protection chapter was
that this item should be a ballot initiative. He said he
believes it would be difficult to impose these
overbearing and burdensome restrictions upon current
homeowners. He suggested that the Ordinance be applied
to new development/construction and recommended the
following exception be added as G. under Ezeuptions on
Page III -132: "Trees, except those designated by the
City Council as historical or cultural trees, located on
all developed properties prior to the adoption of this
ordinance."
John Forbing said that based upon the fact that he has
lived in Diamond Bar for 23 years and that he is
President of the Historical Society, he is fairly
familiar with the trees in the community. The City is
currently maintaining 10,000 trees. He pointed out that
the Eucalyptus trees at the Evangelical Free Church that
were planted by the Diamond Bar Ranch founder in 1927
were deemed historical through the permit process. He
indicated that he believes there are no additional
existing trees on the Diamond Bar Ranch that have any
significance with the exception of oak trees living in
undeveloped canyons. He stated that 1940's and 1950's
photographs of the Ranch do not show trees except for the
oak trees located on the north slope. The majority of
this Ranch was all open grassland used for grazing and
was not a tree lined area. The trees this community
enjoys today have been planted since 1960 when the first
homes were built. Every homeowner has planted trees of
their choice and maintained them as they choose. He
explained that he planted a weeping willow which overtook
his backyard and infringed upon his neighbors pool. As
a result, it was necessary to remove the tree. He said
he believes removal would not have been allowed as the
proposed code is written and does not know what recourse,
if any, his neighbor may have had. He stated that the
difficulty with a 4:1 ratio is that depending upon the
type of tree to be replaced, a residential back yard can
become a jungle. He concurred that Mr. Zirbes' exemption
recommendation should be considered by the Commission.
Don Gravdahl concurred with Mr. Zirbes and Mr. Forbing.
The homeowners have planted and cared for trees in
residential neighborhoods and will continue to do so
without imposing the proposed conditions. He said he
believes this portion of the proposed Development Code
will invite noncompliance and discourage future planting
of trees.
Todd Kurtin, developer, strongly supports tree
replacement and preservation of oaks and walnuts that are
on their property. He indicated that there is not
AUGUST 26, 1997 PAGE 5 PLANNING COMMISSION
sufficient room on his property for a 4:1 replacement and
such a ratio would insure failure. He said he believes
it is more important to preserve the replacement trees
than increase the number.
SP/Johnson reminded the Commission that the City
currently requires oak tree permits for the removal of
oak trees located on private property and asked if it is
the Commission desire to create regulations that are less
restrictive than the regulations that are currently in
place.
Chair/Ruzicka responded affirmatively.
C/McManus stated he would like for the City to
proactively distribute literature concerning the care of
trees to new homeowners.
The Commission concurred to request that staff add
language to the ordinance in accordance with C/McManus'
suggestion.
AP/Lungu reminded that Commission that properties under
development requiring a mitigation monitoring program as
part of the approval should be eliminated from the
proposed exemption.
Following discussion, the Commission concurred to add Mr.
Zirbes' recommended exemption as Item A. under Ezemptions
on Page III -131 and revised the language as follows:
"Trees, except those designated by the City Council as a
historical or cultural tree, and trees required to be
preserved, relocated or planted as a condition of
approval of a discretionary permit, located on all
developed properties prior to adoption of this
Development Code."
TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT (Page III -137 thru III -141)
Bob Zirbes asked for clarification of 4. Commuter
matchinq service. under B. Projects 50,000 square feet
and above. on Page III -140.
C/Goldenberg suggested that "capable of" be added to C.
Buspool. on Page III -137 so that it reads: "A vehicle
cApahle of carrying 16 or more passengers...etc."
C/Goldenberg recommended that the language of Item D.
Carpool and N. Vanpool be less stringent.
STANDARDS FOR SPECIFIC LAND USES ( Page III -142 thru III -166)
Chair/Ruzicka asked if the code can address view blockage
(See H. Workshops or studios on Page III -162) with
AUGUST 26, 1997 PAGE 6 PLANNING COMMISSION
respect to second story units without complicating the
issue.
Mr. Pflugrath suggested the matter be included in the
Design Guidelines for Single Family Residential.
VC/Schad suggested that Table 3-xx on Page III -164 be
changed to reflect 5 feet instead of 3 feet for Required
setback under Single -Family Detached Homes Item 2 -
Swimming pool, spa, fish pond, outdoor play equipment.
Bob Zirbes asked if "1,000 feet" could be increased to
2,000 feet in the third line of S. Separation/aoasurement
on Page III -145.
CA/Jenkins responded that the number of feet is based
upon allowing a reasonable number of sites within the
City.
Mr. Pflugrath indicated he will review the matter with
staff to determine if 2,000 feet is a reasonable number.
CA/Jenkins responded to Mr. Zirbes that if an applicant
satisfies the distance requirements, adult businesses
must be allowed.
Mr. Zirbes stated he believes the distances requirements
should be as stringent as possible.
Mr. Pflugrath stated that CA/Jenkins indicated cities may
not limit adult businesses hours of operation and
therefore, 2. Hours of operation on Page III -144 will be
deleted from the Development Code.
CA/Jenkins responded to C/Goldenberg that the City would
have no recourse.in assisting residents whose property
borders a neighboring city which may allow an adult
business to be located within a shorter distance of the
property line because the use would be outside of the
City's jurisdiction. The property owner could attempt to
persuade the neighboring city to take steps to eliminate
such a facility or bring a nuisance abatement action
against the neighboring city, etc.
Mr. Zirbes asked that 3. Signs be referenced as n2:t
allowed if in a residential zone with respect to Child
Day -Care Facilities on Page III -147.
Mr. Zirbes pointed out that ";and" should be deleted from
the end of 10. Parol coverage and replaced by a period
G).
AUGUST 26, 1997 PAGE 7 PLANNING COMMISSION
Responding to Mr. Zirbes, Mr. Pflugrath suggested that S.
Family members only on Page III -152 be changed to
RqAi Gant" o" 1y •
Martha Bruske said she is concerned about permitted
changes to single family residential homes (such as
relocation of air conditioners) that may distress the
neighbors. She reiterated her concerns about lack of
maintenance and attraction of rodents and insects in the
commercial recycling areas. She indicated she is
concerned about home based businesses. She has no
problem with people who work on computers in their homes
- she has a great deal of concern about business parking
on residential streets. She said she is concerned about
the aesthetics of second story additions.
John Forbing asked if the code addresses Day -Care
Facility parking and dropoff/pickup.
Mr. Pflugrath responded to Mr. Forbing that Chapter
addresses off-street parking and loading for residential
properties (See PROPERTY MAINTENANCE STANDARDS - Single-
family Standards on Page III -95 and III -96.
Mr. Forbing asked if Item 11. Sala and storage of
merchandise on Page III -152 will limit home businesses
such as Amway, Princess House, Mary Kay which require
distributor meeting and product pickup.
Mr. Pflugrath stated that the code allows for garage
storage of products and equipment as long as vehicle
parking is not prohibited. He indicated he will add
language to clarify this item.
Tom Van Winkle expressed his concerns about how the code
will address home based businesses.

SP/Johnson presented staff's report. She requested that
Condition Q. on Page 5 of the Resolution be deleted. She
further requested that Condition I. on Page 6 be modified
to read: "Prior to final inspection, the applicant/owner

and adjacent to the parking lot not closer than five feet
from the property line".
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve
Development Review No. 97-4, Findings of Fact and
conditions of approval as listed within the resolution.
Chair/Ruzicka reopened the public hearing.
Chang Lee, applicant's representative, said that Mr. Teng
is a resident of Diamond Bar and is a long-term developer
who will use the facility for his own business. He
indicated the applicant is concerned about the City's
imposition of a 10 foot dedication at this time and asked
that Conditions 4. F. and 5. X., Y., Z. be deleted at
this time. He said the applicant would like Condition
aa. documentation to be presented to the applicant for
consideration as soon as possible. He stated he believes
the applicant should be requested to participate in the
dedication along with other commercial residents when the
entire street is widened to 80 feet in accordance with
the City's General Plan. He said he believes that by
requiring a 10 foot dedication at this time, the property
owner should be compensated for the"taking". Mr. Lee
asked for clarification of "proportionate share" as
stated in Condition V.
Kent Wu, Architect, explained the proposed project using
plan drawings.
Mr. Wu responded to VC/Schad that the applicant will not
utilize rail shipments. All ingress/egress will be at
the Lycoming side of the structure. The business
transports equipment by UPS or Federal Express.
Mr. Wu asked for consideration of a greater number of
smaller than 48 inch box trees. He suggested 15 gallon
pepper trees at a 4:1 ratio.
Chair/Ruzicka asked if it is possible to widen Lycoming
Avenue to 80 feet east of the proposed project to Brea
Canyon Road.
SP/Johnson responded to Chair/Ruzicka that the dedication
is part of the development process and a condition of
approval. The City's General Plan calls for Lycoming
Avenue to be widened from 60 to 80 feet between Lemon
Avenue and Brea Canyon Road. She indicated that
CA/Jenkins advises that if the applicant objects to the
10 foot dedication, staff should require that this item
be continued to allow for further analysis.
AUGUST 26, 1997 PAGE 10 PLANNING COMMISSION
Jeff Asay, Union Pacific Railroad staff attorney, stated
the railroad would like to sell the property. The
railroad is concerned that the applicant has newly
imposed conditions that may prevent the sale from
progressing in a timely manner. He indicated he is
hopeful that an agreement can be reached between the
applicant and the City within the next 30 days or so.
Mr. Asay responded to VC/Schad that he is not aware of a
storm drain on the property.
C/Fong stated he believes that the future developer of
the school property on the southwest corner of Lycoming
Avenue should carry the burden of a street easement
dedication.
C/Goldenberg moved, C/McManus seconded, to continue
Development Review No. 97-4 to September 9, 1997. The
motion was carried 5-0.
4. Draft Development Cod• (Continued):
Paul Crawford, AICP, The Planning and Zoning Alliance,
presented Article V Subdivisions.
Bob Zirbes asked for the City's minimum residential lot
size.
SP/Johnson responded that the minimum residential lot
size is proposed to be 8,000 square feet.
Mr. Zirbes recommended a 10,000 square foot minimum
residential lot size.
Mr. Crawford indicated lot sizes will be discussed in
Article II.
Mr. Crawford responded to C/Goldenberg that Townhomes are
common interest developments and the Tentative Map and
Parcel Map process is employed for approval. Article
III's Multiple Family Design Guidelines and Standards
deal with multi -family housing such as Townhomes and
condominium projects.
C/Fong asked that "and Civil Engineer" be included at the

Design Guidelines presented for the Planning Commission's
consideration in tonight's packet. The privacy issues
will be expanded and view protection will be addressed in
the document.
Chair/Ruzicka reiterated the Commission's desire to have
City government encourage citizens to preserve views and
to preserve privacy whenever possible.
Responding to C/Goldenberg, Chair/Ruzicka explained that
he mediates view and privacy disputes by encouraging
homeowners to consider compromise. He said he believes
that "views" does not guarantee an unobstructed panorama
of given features, but does include a reasonable approach
to the situation.
Bob Zirbes stated in response to C/Goldenberg that he
likes Laguna Beach's approach to the matter of views. He
indicated that the Laguna Beach City Council is
discussing this matter this evening and he would like to
know the outcome of the discussion. He said he would
like to see the ordinance come back to the Planning
Commission with the lined -out items put back into the
document and have the document redone to delete and/or
rewrite items as they pertain to Diamond Bar. He
explained his approach to mediation is to bring the
parties together to resolve matters of dispute. He said
he does not believe the City should legislate or enforce
matters of view and privacy. However, he would like to
have the City implement stringent requirements on new
development with respect to placement of a structure and
its landscaping in relationship to existing structures.
He referred the Commission to Page 8 of the Laguna Beach
Ordinance which discusses "having the complainant notify
the tree owner" as an essential element of mediation.
Chair/Ruzicka agreed with Mr. Zirbes that he likes Laguna
Beach's approach to the problem because it calls out
important stages in the development of a dispute.
C/Goldenberg stated he believes the balance of the
Commission concurs with Mr. Zirbes and Chair/Ruzicka to
have Laguna Beach's document edited for Diamond Bar. He
encouraged staff not to include stringent municipal
regulations that require constant surveillance.
Chair/Ruzicka asked staff to determine the results of the
Laguna Beach City Council discussion, rewrite the
ordinance, delete all of the crossed out sections, delete
SEPTEMBER 2, 1997 PAGE 3 PLANNING COMMISSION
all references to items that do not pertain to Diamond
Bar, and return a clean Citywide Design Guidelines
document with a phased process to guide claimants to
settlement to the Commission for discussion and
recommendation for inclusion within the Development Code.
Chuck Martin, 444 Red Cloud Drive, asked that the
Planning Commission consider exceptions when discussing
view preservation. He explained that the homeowner up
the hill from him was permitted to build an add-on with
a second story which allows his neighbor to have full
view of his backyard and view into some of the rooms of
his home. He said he was not notified by the City when
his neighbor applied for and was granted a building
permit. He indicated he would have objected to the
structure if he had been aware of the project. He stated
that as a result of his neighbors add-on which includes
windows facing his property, he has lost his cherished
privacy. He said he believes Diamond Bar's Ordinance
should contain a grandfather clause to protect his right
to privacy.
Chair/Ruzicka stated that Mr. Martin's scenario occurs
frequently in the City. He said he believes most of
these types of projects that are approved without concern
for neighbors privacy are approved without Planning
Commission hearings.
VC/Schad concurred with Chair/Ruzicka that many residents
have experienced loss of privacy as a result of add-on
approvals. He said he believes this problem needs to be
addressed in the Citywide Design Guidelines and
Development Code by the Planning Commission.
Mr. Zirbes said he believes that if the Development Code
currently being reviewed by the Planning Commission had
been in place prior to the add-on in Mr. Martin's
neighborhood, the add-on may not have been approved by
the Planning Commission.
Chair/Ruzicka indicated to Mr. Pflugrath that there is
Commission consensus for a more detailed approach to view
and privacy preservation with respect to all development
discussed within the Development Code. He pointed out
that SP/Johnson pointed out (referring to the August 5,
1997 Planning Commission minutes) that "the City's
Planning Department and Planning Commission have
discretionary authority and can exercise sensitivity in
the negotiation of projects".
C/Goldenberg stated he believes the sensitivity issue
should be addressed at the beginning of the document. If
staff approves a project that does not come before the
Planning Commission, the existing neighborhood must be
SEPTEMBER 2, 1997 PAGE 4 PLANNING COMMISSION
considered in the approval or denial of the application.
SP/Johnson responded to Chair/Ruzicka that additions that
exceeds 50 percent of the existing home area, the matter
is considered through he Administrative Development
Review process and homeowners within a 300 foot radius of
the project are notified. These matters can be appealed
to the City's Planning Department.
Mr. Martin suggested that the Code specify that, in the
case of add-ons which may infringe on neighbor's privacy,
no windows may be placed facing the neighbors property.
C/McManus suggested that staff acquire a copy of the City
of Cerritos' ordinance because it addresses views.
Mr. Pflugrath pointed out that Page 36 of the Draft
Citywide Design Guideline provided to the Commission
tonight suggests that portions of second story structures
be set back from the first story. He indicated this
portion of the draft can be expanded to address the
Commission's concerns.
Paul Crawford, AICP, Zoning Alliance, presented Article
II.
ESTABLISEMENT OF ZONING DISTRICTS (Pages II -3 through II -6)
There was no comment on this chapter.
RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS (Pages II -7 through II -13
C/McManus asked for explanation of Private residential
recreational facilities in the RECREATION, EDUCATION &
PUBLIC ASSEMBLY USES portion of Table 2-2 on Page II -9.
Mr. Crawford explained that this article works with the
definition of the code which contains an explanation of
each of the land uses. Private residential recreational
facilities are defined on Page VII -29 as "Privately
owned, non-commercial outdoor recreation facilities
provided for members or project and neighborhood
residents. These include swim and tennis clubs, park and
sport court facilities." He explained that these are
facilities that could be allowed in conjunction with a
multi -family or single family residential project. The
question marks are inserted in Table 2-2 on Page II -9 to
discuss whether these facilities should be included.
SP/Johnson explained that the question is not whether to
include these facilities, but instead, the process for
reviewing them.
SEPTE)(BER 2, 1997 PAGE 5 PLANNING CONNISSION
Responding to C/Goldenberg, Mr. Crawford explained that
numbers on lines 7 and 8 of the subsection "RESIDENTIAL
USES" in Table 2-2 on Page II -9 should be changed to
read: "Residential care homes, fi or fewer clients" and
"Residential care homes, 2 or more clients." California
State Law requires all cities allow, without permit,
residential care homes with 6 or few clients in any
residential zoning district. The City may not regulate
such facilities. Whether or not to allow facilities of
7 or more clients is determined at a local level.
Bob Zirbes asked for an explanation of "Manufactured
housing units" listed in subsection entitled RESIDENTIAL
USES in Table 2-2 on Page II -9.
Mr. Crawford responded that California cities are
required to allow manufactured housing units which meet
construction standards on any residential lot and are
limited to architectural requirements that require a roof
overhang unless specific materials and designs are
required for all residential units in the community.
CONKERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICTS (Pages II -15 through
II -27)
Responding to C/McManus, SP/Johnson recommended the
Conditional Use Permit process be imposed for
consideration of Adult day care facilities (See SERVICE
USES subsection in Table 2-4 on Page II -28).
Mr. Crawford responded to Mr. Zirbes that the code
intends to restrict Adult Entertainment Business to the
heaviest commercial district and industrial zone. He
reminded the Commission that CA/Nichols commented with
respect to the City's ability to regulate those uses.
The City must allow a reasonable number of sites and
cannot limit the hours of operation.
The Commission concurred to delete Grocery stores from
subsection RETAIL TRADE USES in Table 2-4 on Page II -17.
SP/Johnson corrected Shopping centers under subsection
RETAIL TRADE USES in Table 2-5 on Page II -21 to require
a CUP under C-2 zone instead of C-3.
Responding to VC/Schad, SP/Johnson stated that the City's
General Plan defines Light Industrial as Industrial Land
Use and indicates that no areas of the City are
appropriate for Heavy Industrial.
In response to C/McManus regarding Item B. Glare and heat
being applicable to second stories of the same building,
certain industrial processes will generate these types of
effects. The objective in this section is to simply
SEPTEMBER 2, 1997 PAGE 6 PLANNING COMMISSION
restrict them to the same property. It would be up to
the lessees and landlords to compromise on these issues.
SPECIAL PURPOSE ZONING DISTRICTS (Pages II -29 through II -33)
The Commission concurred that Item 2 (Mobile
home/manufactured housing units) and Item 4 (secondary
residential units) should be deleted from subsection
RESIDENTIAL USES in Table 2-7 on Page II -31, and that
Residential accessory uses and structures should be
included under OS and subject to the Permit process.
The Commission concurred that Item 1 Heliports be deleted
from subsection TRANSPORTATION & COMMUNICATIONS USES in
Table 2-7 on Page II -31.
Bob Zirbes asked if Equestrian facilities under
RECREATION, EDUCATION, PUBLIC ASSEMBLY USES should be
included in the AG category.
Chair/Ruzicka asked staff to research this matter and
provide direction.
OVERLAY ZONING DISTRICTS (Pages II -35 through II -36)
There was no comment on this chapter.
SP/Johnson stated that this concludes the text portion of the
Development Code document. She reminded the Commission that
a public meeting has been advertised for Saturday, September
6, 1997 in the South Coast Air Quality Management District
Auditorium from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.
SP/Johnson stated that staff proposes to hold public hearings
on the Zoning Equivalency Matrix for the Zoning Map separate
from the Development Code to run concurrently with the City
Council's review of the Zoning Map. These public hearings
will not impact the Development Code adoption.
C/Goldenberg suggested the City consider direct mailing to
effected businesses.
Chair/Ruzicka stated he believes it would be a serious breach
of public confidence if the necessary steps were not taken to
notify people with regard to their rights.
SP/Johnson responded to Chair/Ruzicka that she will discuss
the Commission's concerns regarding public notification with
DCM/DeStefano.

Staff recommends that the Planning Commission review the
Draft Design Guidelines and make an informal

SP/Johnson presented the Draft Design Guidelines.
The following amendments and corrections were offered:
SEPTEMBER 9, 1997 PAGE 2 PLANNING COMMISSION
Chair/Ruzicka recommended that the following be added to
the end of Paragraph 12) on Page 7: "..and camouflaged
where possible."
SP/Johnson responded to Chair/Ruzicka that height
limitations as respects A. ARCM-iTeCTORR are contained in
the Development Code as a standard.
Chair/Ruzicka pointed out that "amount" should be
corrected to "along" in the second line of Paragraph 15)
on Page 10 so that the line reads: "...architectural
form and detailing, should be consistent along all
buildings, etc.".
Chair/Ruzicka suggested the end of Paragraph 21) on Page
11 be changed to "ie. skyline" instead of (skyline).
C/McManus pointed out that the first line of Paragraph
24) on Page 12 should be eliminated from Paragraph 24 and
included as the first line of Paragraph 25) on Page 12.
Chair/Ruzicka asked that Paragraph 1) under Signnge on
Page 22 be corrected as follows: Pluralize increase in
the second sentence and change "doesn't" to "do not" in
the fourth line so that the second sentence reads: "A
good sign program increase,, the sense of order and unity
in a center and increases legibility because the eyes da
IIQt have to adjust to a variety of sign styles, sizes and
colors.
VC/Schad asked that "that be added to Paragraph 6) on
Page 23 so that the sentence reads: "Signage should be
appropriate for the type of activity that the business
conducts."
VC/Schad asked that item f) be added under A.- Sita
P1-nni*gg on Page 24 to read as follows: "Planning does
not impact existing views."
C/Goldenberg asked that the language of item f) under A:
Acte Pt-nniW on Page 24 be softened to read: "Shall not
unecessarily impact existing views".
Chair/Ruzicka asked that a comma be added following
plazas in the first line of Paragraph 5) on Page 25 so
that the sentence reads: "Building placement which
creates opportunities for plazas,, courts, or gardens is
encouraged."
Chair/Ruzicka recommended Paragraph 8) on Page 26 be
changed to read: "Details that create shade and cast
shadows can be used to provide (eliminate "d") visual
relief to the building."
SEPTEMBER 9, 1997 PAGE 3 PLANNING COMMISSION
Responding to Chair/Ruzicka suggestion, SP/Johnson
recommended that Paragraph 12) on Page 27 be changed to
read: "Rnco»rage the use of material with 1Qw
maintenance such as, etc.".
Chair/Ruzicka asked that the first word in the second
line of Paragraph 16) be pluralized to "feature.&".
VC/Schad corrected the second line of Paragraph 2) on
Page 28 as folllows: "...plants is encouraged ... etc".
Chair/Ruzicka recommended that "and" be changed to
"around" in the last sentence of Paragraph 8) on Page 28
so that the sentence reads: "Concrete mow -strips are
recommended around shrub areas."
Chair/Ruzicka and Bob Zirbes recommended the last
paragraph on Page 29 be rewritten as follows: "Because
the City is largely built out, there will not be a
significant amount of new tracts in the future and the
patterns of residential development within the City have
generally been established. While the housing stock is
relatively new, as it ages, houses will be remodeled,
expanded or in some cases, home.& will be demolished and
reconstructed on the same lot. One of the most important
issues is to insure that new or remodeled reGidential
development is compatible with and complementary = the
existing neighborhood.
Chair/Ruzicka asked that "mullet -family" in the last
sentence of the first paragraph on Page 30 be corrected
to "millti-family development.
Chair/Ruzicka asked that "an" be corrected to "a" in the
last paragraph under RRSInr-WTpT. nRSTGN GpTnsT.TNRS on
Page 30 so that the third line reads: "...included as a
chapter within the new comprehensive Development Code."
Bob Zirbes asked that the first sentence of Paragraph 2)
under A. mite Plonnina be corrected to read:
"Compatibility with adjacent uses is ±JiLa primary
consideration."
Chair/Ruzicka asked for inclusion of a short statement
within Paragraph 1) under A. Site Pl^nnivig on Page 30 to
instruct staff to mention to permit applicants that "How
the proposed design impacts the surrounding property
owners should be a major priority."
SP/Johnson suggested the paragraph begin with the
statement "Staff will work with the property owners to
ensure that proposed design impacts are minimized with
respect to the surrounding property owners."
SEPTEMBER 9, 1997 PAGE 4 PLANNING COMMISSION
Chair/Ruzicka stated that he believes residential
remodeling does not occur in a vacuum and can effect the
surrounding neighborhood in a positive or negative
manner. IF the statement "how the proposed design
impacts the surrounding property owners should be a major
priorty" is mentioned as part of staff's procedure it
helps the applicant understand his responsibilities.
SP/Johnson stated she believes administration
responsibilities are addressed in the Development Code.
VC/Schad asked the "especially pertaining to privacy" be
added to Paragraph 1) under D. Fenestration (Placoment of
Doors and Windows) on Page 33.
SP/Johnson reiterated that this guideline emphasizes the
design. Privacy is addressed as a separate issue.
The Commission did not concur to add VC/Schad's
recommended language.
Chair/Ruzicka pointed out that "property" in the second
line of Paragraph 1) under R. 74pli quest Rare."; ng
Gutters, Dov"spouts and Vents on Page 34 should be
corrected to "properly".
VC/Schad asked that ",where possible." be added to the
end of Paragraph 1) under R. Fquiprant Screening Gutters,
novnspo+its -nA Vents.
Chair/Ruzicka asked that Paragraph 7) under Si.,_
T•andsaayi%g be changed to read as follows: "Utilize
trees for canopy and shade creating areas which provide
opportunities for shaded play areas or passive outdoor
recreation."
VC/Schad recommended "each" be changed to "every" in the
third line of Paragraph 3) on Page 37 so that it reads:
"...frequently than every fourth house."
SP/Johnson distributed Draft View Protection Guidelines for
the Commission consideration. This item will be agendized for
discussion at the September 23, 1997 Planning Commission
meeting. The Planning Commission will be asked to recommend
adoption at that time.
Responding to Mr. Zirbes regarding inclusion of the Laguna
Beach View Protection guildelines, SP/Johnson stated it is not
staff's role to create a board or method for mediation.
Staff's role is to establish standards and guidelines.
Mediation is a civil matter.
SEPTEMBER 9, 1997 PAGE 5 PLANNING COMMISSION

Code and Draft Citywide Design Guidelines as presented to

Chair/Ruzicka reopened the public hearing.
Chang Lee speaking for the applicant, thanked staff for
the revisions. He indicated the applicant is out of the
country and wishes to proceed with the project. The
matter of payment for the cost of the land for dedication
to the City is pending between the applicant and the
current property owner.
Kent Wu, architect, received confirmation from staff with
respect to the location of the 10 foot frontage property
to be dedicated to the City.
Mr. Wu asked that "existing" be inserted in line three of
Condition (x) on Page 7 of the Resolution so that the
line reads: "the existing property's frontage along
Lycoming Street".

2. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS:
1. Recreation Update.

3. OLD BUSINESS - None
4. NEW BUSINESS:
1. Consideration of Cellular Telephone Antenna Site in Peterson Park.
CSD/Rose stated that LA Cellular has presented a proposal to the City of Diamond
Bar to install a cellular telephone antenna and small telecommunications facility
at Peterson Park. Because this is the first such installation proposed to be located
in a City Park, the Parks and Recreation Commission is asked to receive public
testimony and forward its recommendation regarding the appropriateness of this
precedent setting matter and its impact upon the park to the City Council in order
for the City Council to render its decision. CSD/Rose referred the Commission to
site plan drawings and explained the proposed installation.
AUGUST 28, 1997 PAGE 3 PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION
Rob Searcy, Terra Firma Services representing LA Cellular, stated this installation
is proposed to be placed on an existing facility to provide service along a portion
of the SR 60. Maintenance is conducted about once a month. The technicians
drive utility vehicles (Ford Broncos). Two locked bollards will be located at the
sidewalk entrance from the parking area to provide site access. Technicians walk
to the site during the rainy season. The lease and maintenance agreement provides
for remedy of any damage caused by LA Cellular. LA Cellular will provide a bond
or deposit funds with the City which will be used to pay for potential damage to
the park site. When repairs are made, the City will provide LA Cellular with an
invoice detailing the funds disbursement. LA Cellular will replace the spent funds
in the deposit account.
CSD/Rose stated the details of the lease agreement are being negotiated between
the City and LA Cellular. The City Council will make the final lease agreement
terms decision.
CSD/Rose responded to Chair/Finnerty that the proposed lease payment amount
for the Darrin Drive site is higher than the Peterson Park site because there are two
carriers located at the Darrin Drive site.
Responding to C/Tye, Mr. Searcy explained that the proposed $1,000 monthly
lease payment for the LA Cellular site is a negotiated figure between the provider
and the City based upon standard industry facility rates.
In response to C/Medina, Mr. Searcy stated the proposed site operates on a
different technology than radio, garage opener, microwave and television
transmission frequencies and there is no opportunity for interference.
VC/O'Connor asked if the proposed site will interfere with the Darrin Drive site.
Mr. Searcy responded that there will be no interference between the two sites. The
two sites are different types of technology and operate at different frequency ranges
on the band. If the two sites are with 15 feet of one another, power sources can
conflict. In this case, the two sites are situated approximately one-quarter of a mile
apart.
VC/O'Connor asked why citizens and a City Planning Commissioner were so
concerned about the Darrin Drive site and do not have the same concerns about
the proposed Peterson Park site.
AUGUST 28, 1997 PAGE 4 PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION
CSD/Rose stated his understanding that citizens were concerned about a
commercial use within a residential zone. He read from the 1996
Telecommunications Act legislation regarding EMF's.
CSD/Rose responded to VC/O'Connor that the monthly lease payment will be
deposited into the City's General Fund.
VC/O'Connor expressed her interest in recommending the City Council earmark
the lease payment for parks improvement.
Mr. Searcy indicated to Chair/Finnerty that LA Cellular will consider other City
owned sites for facilities placement. LA Cellular is interested in cooperating with
cities to provide a service and benefit to the community. C/Tye moved,
VC/O'Connor seconded to recommend that the City Council approve the LA
Cellular Telephone Antenna Site in Peterson Park.
Responding to Chair/Finnerty, CSD/Rose stated the proposed site lease payment
may be considered an offset for the park's new lighting system which will cost the
City approximately $18,000 per year to operate.
Chair/Finnerty asked CCTye to amend his motion to include a recommendation to
the City Council that the monthly lease payment be designated for parks
maintenance.
C/Tye amended his motion and VC/O'Connor seconded the amended motion.
Mr. Searcy responded to C/Tye that the site generates approximately 7 watts of
power and will not interfere with the lighting system at Peterson Park.
The motion was carried 5-0.
2. Oscar Law Memorial.
CSD/Rose presented staff s report. Staff recommends that the Parks and Recreation
Commission establish an ad hoc committee to research various options for a
memorial and request the ad hoc committee to present its recommendation at a
future Commission meeting.
Following discussion, C/Tye moved, Chair/Finnerty seconded, to recommend that
the City Council approve placement of a regular park bench and tree, with
AUGUST 28, 1997 PAGE 5 PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION
dedication plaques, at Heritage Park in honor of Oscar Law, due to the fact that
Mr. Law was a sitting Commissioner of the Parks and Recreation Commission at the
time of his death. The motion was carried 5-0.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
C/Tye stated that in his opinion, the Concerts in the Park were terrific. However, he indicated
he does not believe Concerts in the Park is the proper venue for a "talent show" such as the one
held on August 27, 1997. He suggested the City consider obtaining sponsors for Concerts in the
Park to underwrite the cost of the events.
VC/O'Connor asked if a sprinkler system problem exists at Paul C. Grow Park.
CSD/Rose responded to VC/O'Connor that the watering system was adjusted and needs to be
readjusted. The landscape maintenance company's irrigation management position has
experienced turnover and the City is negotiating with Accurate Landscape to cure the problem.
C/Tye stated the City's parks maintenance company's personnel problems should not adversely
effect their quality of service.
VC/O'Connor asked how often the City's parks are cleaned. She indicated she has observed trash
at Paul C. Grow Park and broken glass at Peterson Park which has not been removed.
CSD/Rose responded to VC/O'Connor that the Parks Master Plan is tentatively scheduled for the
September 16, 1997 City Council agenda.
C/Tye pointed out a potential flooding problem at the southwesterly corner of Peterson Park.
CSD/Rose reported on Pantera Park's construction progress in response to Chair/Finnerty.
CSD/Rose explained the temporary scheduling conflicts among the schools as a result of the need
to accommodate Diamond Ranch High School's athletic department.
CSD/Rose reported on the ADA Retrofit construction progress for Peterson Park in response to
C/Tye.

V. OLD BUSINESS:
A. Parking Restrictions on Washington Strout Between
Brea Canyon Road to South Alder Lane.
DDPW/Liu presented staff's report. Staff recommends
that the Traffic and Transportation Commission
receive further comments and input from residents
and property owners and discuss various alternatives
to the parking restriction to forward to the City
Council.
Lyle Kennedy, Industry Machinery Sales, Washington
Street, stated he is not opposed to a parking ban on
Washington Street. However, he proposes something
less than a ban such as "No Overnight Parking" or no
engines running on parked vehicles for the
residential portion of the street.
Dr.. Lawrence Rhodes, 21224 Fibre Court, said he
represents approximately 15 people who live in the
area who are concerned about site safety when
exiting from Lincoln Avenue North onto Washington
Street because trucks are parked too close to the
intersection. He and the people he represents are
asking for 150 feet of red curbing on both sides of
Washington Street at Lincoln Avenue. He indicated
he concurs that refrigeration units should not be
allowed to run all night. Several residents of the
trailer park on Washington Street drive trucks or
tractor trailers and cannot park their vehicles
inside the trailer park.
Sgt. Rawlings cited Diamond Bar Ordinance No. 4
which addresses parking of commercial vehicles on
city's streets. He suggested the Ordinance be
posted on Washington Street to alert commercial
AUGUST 141 1997 PAGE 3 T&T COMMISSION
vehicle operators regarding the law.
Dr. Rhodes said that the cabover portion may not
meet the restrictive commercial weight standard and
that is the reason the residents are asking for the
red curbing.
Following discussion, C/Istik moved, VC/Virginkar
seconded, to recommend to the City Council the
installation of "No Commercial Vehicle Parking" over
five ton (10,000 pounds) on both sides of Washington
Street from Brea Canyon Road easterly to its
terminus, and install 150 feet of red curbing on the
southwest corner and the northeast corner of
Washington Street at Lincoln Avenue. The motion was
approved 4-0 with the following Roll Call vote:
AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Istik, VC/Virginkar,
Morris, Chair/Leonard
NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None
ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: Nice
I. NEW BUSINESS:
A. Intersection Markings on Carpio Drive and Arnitos
Place.
AE/Manela presented staff's report. Staff
recommends that the Traffic and Transportation
Commission concur with staff's recommendation to
install 100 feet length intersection markings of
three legs of the intersection of Carpio Drive and
Armitos Place.
Debby O'Connor asked what kind of striping is
proposed to be installed.
DDPW/Liu responded that a solid double yellow line
striping is proposed.
C/Morris moved, C/Istik seconded, to concur with
staff's recommendation to install 100 foot length
intersection markings on three legs of the
intersection of Carpio Drive and Armitos Place. The
motion was approved 4-0 with the following Roll Call

STATUS OF PREVIOUS ACTION ITEMS - None
ITEMS FROM COMMISSIONERS - None
ITEMS FROM STAFF:
A. Monthly Traffic Enforcement Update:
Sgt. Rawlings presented the July, 1997 traffic
enforcement update.
B. Future Agenda Itess:
DDPW/Liu reported that two items are proposed for
the September 11, 1997 meeting:
1) Parking Restriction - North Side of Walnut
Drive at Lemon Avenue
2) comprehensive School Traffic Access and
Circulation Study - Austin -Foust
B. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS:
A. Comprehensive School Traffic Access and Circulation
Study.
Joe Foust, Austin -Foust Associates, Inc., reported
on the Comprehensive School Traffic Access and
Circulation Study for Diamond Bar High School.
Summary of Recommendations:
1. Open up the Brea Canyon Road access to all
traffic both in and out.
2. Construct a new right -turn only entrance to the
senior lot.
3. Install a physical barrier on Pathfinder Road
to prevent left turns out of the main driveway.
Chair/Leonard asked if Mr. Foust discussed with the
Diamond Bar High School staff the possibility of
AUGUST 14, 1997 PAGE 5 T&T COMMISSION
closing the Evergreen Springs Drive gate.
Mr. Foust responded that the Evergreen Springs Drive
gate will need to remain open on a limited basis
because there is some amount of staff parking at
this time. He indicated that his recommendation
would be to close the gate to student pedestrian
access.
C/Istik reminded the Commission that by a 3-2 vote,
the Commission recommended to the City Council that
the Birch Hill Drive traffic problems be addressed
as part of the School Traffic Circulation Study.
Mr. Foust stated that in order to address the
problem of Diamond Bar High School traffic on
residential streets, the City would need to address
enforcement and/or consider a "permit" parking
program. There is a small grassy area at the front
of the school that could be converted to a limited
number of additional parking spaces. The school
suffers a parking shortage.
VC/Virginkar explained that his children preferred
the Evergreen Springs Drive access and that he feels
it is a safe and major dropoff and pickup point. He
indicated his understanding that the Evergreen
Springs Drive gate cannot be closed due to the on-
site automotive workshops.
Mr. Foust stated his suggestion was to close the
gate to pedestrian traffic only and not to vehicular
traffic.
Mr. Foust explained proposed usage of the four
traffic ingress/egress points on Pathfinder Road and
Brea Canyon Road in response to VC/Virginkar's
inquiry.
VC/Virginkar suggested it may be more reasonable to
suggest vehicles enter from Pathfinder Road and exit
onto Brea Canyon Road.
VC/Virginkar asked why Mr. Foust did not recommend a
physical barrier on Brea Canyon Road similar to the
barrier suggested for Pathfinder Road.
Mr. Foust responded that a left turn out onto Brea
AUGUST 14, 1997 PAGE 6 TAT CONKISSION
Canyon Road should be allowed and not prohibited by
a physical barrier.
Mr. Foust responded to C/ Morris that in his opinion
closing the Evergreen Springs Drive school access
gate to pedestrian traffic would not relieve the
residential streets of student parking.
C/Istik asked if additional signs are needed to
regulate student parking in the Birch Hill Drive
area.
Sgt. Rawlings responded that missing signs leave
gaps and the signs that are present are in disrepair
and leave the driver guessing. If the ticketed
vehicle owner complains, the Sheriff's Department
frequently dismisses the citation because the signs
are in disrepair. Signs with arrows pointing in
different directions would assist enforcement. He
pointed out that the signs should extend the full
length of the streets in question. U-turn signs are
more often obeyed when officers are present.
Elizabeth Beard, Birch Hill Drive, suggested one-way
traffic in the school parking lot and a traffic
signal to regulate left turn ingress to the parking
lot from Pathfinder Road. She further suggested
installation of red curbing from the southwest
corner of Evergreen Springs Drive at Pathfinder road
southerly to the driveway entrance. She talked
about a lone 1 hour parking sign at the easterly
corner of Lost River Drive that relates to nothing.
She spoke about signage on one side of the street
and no signage on another side of the street and
about sign posts that have been knocked down. She
said there is a great deal of parking availability
for student vehicles on Pathfinder Road south of
Diamond Bar High School. She reiterated her
suggestion that the school parking lot needs a
logical one-way traffic flow pattern, and a control
light and left turn lane for traffic proceeding west
on Pathfinder Road.
Rudy Wallachy, Sunset Crossing Road, spoke against
the white curbing in front of Diamond Point
Elementary School which seems to be in conflict with
the signage. He suggested the curb should be
changed back to the natural grey color.
AUGUST 141 1997 PAGE 7 TiT COMMISSION
DDPW/Liu stated the Diamond Point Elementary School
study was presented at a previous meeting. The
inconsistencies between the white curbing and
existing signage will be addressed at a future
meeting. Mr.. Wallachy will be notified regarding
the future meeting.
Craig Clute, Fountain Springs Drive, suggested the
Brea Canyon Road access be opened to allow
ingress/egress, angle parking on Brea Canyon Road, a
left turn traffic signal and que on Brea Canyon Road
and Pathfinder Road at the Diamond Bar High School
entrances, and adequate signage to advise vehicular
traffic about the 25 mph school zone. He suggested
the curb in front of the high school and around the
corner on Brea Canyon Road to the school driveway be
designated "student drop-off" (green zone) to
alleviate the traffic congestion on Evergreen
Springs Drive. He suggested the Commissioners and
staff visit the Tustin schools to see how they have
incorporated angle parking to relieve traffic
congestion. He suggested staff discuss with the
high school the possibility of removing portable
classrooms from the parking lot.
D. Missing signs: Evergreen Springs Road and Brea
Canyon Road.
AE/Manela presented staff's report.
DDPW/Liu responded to Chair/Leonard that staff is
considering replacing some signs. However, it would
not be feasible to replace certain signs that are in
conflict with current legal authority. Staff and
Foust Associates is conducting a citywide survey of
signage in conjunction with the.school traffic
study.
C/Morris stated that due to resident's testimony and
the fact that the Walnut School District has place
portable classrooms in areas previously reserved for
parking without consideration to replacing the
parking spaces, communication between staff, City
Council and the school district is essential. The
school principal has ultimate authority. He said
the Walnut School District's absence from the school
traffic study process is disturbing to him.
AUGUST 14r 1997 PAGE 8 TiT COMMISSION
DDPW/Liu indicated staff continued to communicate
with the Walnut School District. Dr. Hockwalt has
been apprised of the school traffic study
recommendations. In addition, the Walnut School
District has been invited to participate in the
community workshops.
Mr. Foust responded to Chair/Leonard that his firm
has kept the Walnut School District current with the
scope of work and provided draft copies of all
materials submitted to the Traffic and
Transportation Commission for consideration. The
school district has been encouraged to attend
Commission meetings and community workshops.
VC/Virginkar stated he believes Mr. Foust has made a
good start in recommending improvements. He
believes that there is a lot more work that needs to
be done with respect to Diamond Bar High School. He
pointed out that Diamond Bar High School is the
largest school in the City; that it is located at
the intersection of two important streets -
Pathfinder Road and Brea Canyon Road, and that there
is a significant impact to the adjacent residential
community. He stressed the need for further school
ingress/egress consideration as well as, parking
within the school parking lot. He requested that
Austin -Foust Associates make a more detailed
presentation to the Commission for Diamond Bar High
School.
C/Istik suggested that the city offer to reconfigure
the first school parking lot entrance on Pathfinder
Road immediately south of Brea Canyon Road to allow
for ingress only with immediate right and left turns
pockets which would circulate traffic throughout
both sides of the current parking area.
Chair/Leonard recommended that the reconfiguration
incorporate a pickup and dropoff area similar to the
area recently installed at Quail Summit Elementary
School.
The Commission concurred to request that Austin -
Foust Associates incorporate citizen's and
Commissioner's recommendations and concerns for
further consideration and offer the Traffic and
Transportation a more detailed presentation
AUGUST 14F 1997 PAGE 9 T&T CONXISSION
including graphics.
B. Goals and Objectives.
DDPW/Liu indicated he has received input from
Chair/Leonard and C/Morris. He asked for input from
the other Commissioners in order to prepare an
update and presentation for the Commission.
C. Speed Limit Update - Sunset Crossing Road.
AE/Manela presented staff's report.
C/Istik asked that staff consider removing the 40
mph sign just west of Prospectors Road on Sunset
Crossing Road due to the installation of the cul-de-
sac.
Following discussion, the Commission concurred to direct staff
to establish dates for the Comprehensive School Traffic Access
and Circulation Study community workshops.

III. PUBLIC CONKENTS - None
IV. CONSENT CALENDAR - None
V. OLD BUSINESS - None
I. NEW BUSINESS:
A. Parking Restriction - North Side of walnut Drive
West of Lemon Avenue.
AE/Manela presented staff's report. Staff
recommends that the Traffic and Transportation
Commission concur with staff's recommendation to
install "No Stopping anytime" signs on the north
side of Walnut Drive between 20465 Walnut Drive and
Lemon Avenue and on the south side of Walnut Drive
between the driveway of 20540 Walnut Drive and Lemon
Avenue, and to forward this recommendation to the
City Council.
Michael Scott, Scott Engineering, 20540 Walnut
Drive, indicated vehicles disregard the "No Stopping
Anytime" on Walnut Drive in front of his business.
He recommended red curbing on the north side of
Walnut Drive from in front of 20465 Walnut Drive
east to Lemon Avenue. He asked that the "No
Stopping Sign" which was knocked down at the corner
of Walnut Drive and Lemon Avenue be replaced and
that the curbing in front of 20540 Walnut be painted
red to enforce the "No Stopping Anytime".
Following discussion, C/Istik moved, C/Morris
seconded, to recommend that the City Council approve
red curbing on the north side of Walnut Drive from
20465 easterly to Lemon Avenue and red curbing on
the south side from the driveway of 20540 Walnut
Drive easterly to Lemon Avenue. The motion was

STATUS OF PREVIOUS ACTION ITEMS:
DDPW/Liu reported that at its August 19, 1997 meeting,
the City Council awarded the design services for traffic
signals on Diamond Bar Boulevard at Montefino Avenue and
on Diamond Bar Boulevard at Quail Summit Drive. At the
same meeting, the City Council approved single broken
yellow centerline striping on Minnequa Drive. The area
residents have been notified that work is scheduled to
commence on September 26, 1997. On September 2, 1997,
the City Council approved "No Parking" for commercial
vehicles over five tons on Washington Street with the
exception of the frontage for the two existing commercial
businesses, and 150 feet of red curbing at the southwest
and northeast corners on Washington Street at Lincoln
Avenue. Intersection marking work for Carpio Drive at
Armitios Place is scheduled for mid October pending
completion of the current slurry seal project.
ITEMS FROM COMMISSIONERS:
C/Morris complemented staff for completion of the Diamond
Bar Boulevard resurfacing ahead of schedule.
VC/Virginkar spoke about a raised yellow street barrier
on a 90 degree bend in the City of Cupertino.
ITEMS FROM STAFF:
A. Monthly Traffic Enforcement Update:
Sgt. Rawlings presented the August, 1997 traffic
enforcement update.
B. Future Agenda Items:
DDPW/Liu reported that the Traffic and
Transportation Commission will consider an item
regarding left turns at the Century 21 E -N location
on Grand Avenue at its October 9, 1997 meeting.
SEPTEMBER 11, 1997 PAGE 4 TiT COMMISSION
Z. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS:
DDPW/Liu stated that the Pathfinder Road median striping
in front of Diamond Bar High School consists of a solid
double yellow which creates a median in front of the
school and eliminates the two-way left turn in and out of
the parking lot. Staff feels that installation of the
median addresses the safety concerns.
A. Comprehensive School Traffic Access and Circulation
study.
Joe Foust, Austin -Foust Associates, Inc., presented
recommendations for Armstrong Elementary School,
Evergreen Elementary School, Castle Rock Elementary
School, and Quail Summit Elementary School. In
accordance with the Commission's request, Mr. Foust
presented additional recommendations for Diamond Bar
High School.
Audrey Hamilton, 1429 Copper Mountain Drive, said
she favors eliminating the drive thru in the parking
lot area at Quail Summit Elementary School. She
suggested that the driveway in the parking area be
extended from Forest Canyon Drive through to Quail
Summit Drive at Paul C. Grow park to allow for
student drop off and pick up at peak hours in order
to compensate for the anticipated 40 percent
increase in student enrollment and provide for
student safety.
Patty Durke, 2516 Castle Rock Road, stated she
agrees with the consultant's recommendation to
eliminate the left turn in and out of the Evergreen
Springs Elementary School driveway. She recommended
that red curbing be placed on the west side of
Castle Rock Road at the fire hydrant location in
front of 2511 Castle Rock Road and for the entire
length of the curve.
Kelly Mathews, 2519 Castle Rock Road, concurred with
Mrs. Durke's comments. She spoke about the
congestion inside the school's parking lot and
suggested cars should be regularly cleared from the
area. She stated parents routinely make illegal U-
turns in the area.
Linda Russell, 2371 Canyon Park Drive, concurred
SEPTEMBER 11, 1997 PAGE 5 T&T COMMISSION
with the consultant's recommendations to install red
curbing and ladder crosswalk at the Castle Rock
Elementary School entrance. She does not concur
that the crossing guard should be removed from the
rear area of the school because the four way stop
creates a great deal of confusion. She indicated
that the school staff adequately monitors the front
area of the school. She said she agrees that a
guard rail should be installed at the rear of the
school. However, she believes that additional
measures need to be employed to insure proper
parking/stopping for student drop off and pick up.
There was no one present who spoke regarding
Armstrong Elementary School.
%I. SCHEDULE OF FUTURE CITY MEETINGS:
DDPW/Liu stated the School Study Workshop 11 will be held at
6:30 p.m. on September 44, 1997 in the South Coast Air Quality
Management Meeting Room CC2. The 02 workshop on October 2
will also be held in Room CC2.

MEETING DATE: October 21, 1997 REPORT DATE: October 15, 1997
FROM: Terrence L. Belanger, City Manager
TITLE: SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE 07 (1997) "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF
DIAMOND BAR ADDING CHAPTER 10.50 OF TITLE 10 OF THE DIAMOND BAR MUNICIPAL
CODE RELATING TO PARKING CITATION PROCESSING PROCEDURES"
SUMMARY: At the October 7, 1997 meeting, the City Council approved the first reading of
Ordinance 07 (1997) regarding the administration of parking citations. The Ordinance codifies
the decriminalized parking citation process. Through AB 408 and AB 780, the processing of
parking citations was removed from the courts, and the bills established a civil administrative
review process for the collection and contesting of parking citations. Cities are required to
establish a schedule of parking violation penalties, late payment penalties, administrative fees,
and other related charges. Since the decriminalization of the parking citations, two additional
modifications have occurred through AB 1228 and AB 3157, which address the time limits for the
appeal of parking citations. The City has contracted with Judicial Data Services, Inc. and the City
of La Verne to administer the parking citations and to provide hearing examination services
Through the legislation to decriminalize parking citations, the administrative process was placed
into the California Vehicle Code. The City, heretofore, has not adopted municipal code
provisions relating to parking citation administration. Therefore, to codify the City's
administration of parking citations an ordinance has been prepared.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve for second reading and
adoption by title only and waive full reading of Ordinance 07 (1997) " An Ordinance of the City
of Diamond Bar adding Chapter 10.50 of Title 10 of the Diamond Bar Municipal Code Relating
to Parking Citation Processing Procedures."

responsible for the violation by virtue of having sold,
rented or leased the vehicle, or because legally
supportable or mitigating circumstances as set forth in

the processing agency shall cancel the parking
citation, and make an adequate record of the reason or

and such other measures may be taken for the collection
of the judgment as are authorized for the collection of
unpaid civil judgments entered against a defendant in
an action against a debtor.
The processing agency shall send notice by first-class
mail to the registered owner or renter, lessee, or
sales transferee indicating that a civil judgment has

with the court relating to a parking citation filed
with the department unless the processing agency has

3. OVERVIEW OF REDEVELOPMENT: ED/Belanger stated this is the second in a series of five
City Council Town Hall meetings on the subject of redevelopment. Tentative dates have been
set for future meetings to be held on October 25, November 22, and December 20, 1997 at the
following locations: Diamond Point Club House, Heritage Park Community Center and South
Coast Air Quality Management District Auditorium.
ED/Belanger explained that on July 15, 1997, Council adopted, by Ordinance No. 3(97), the
Redevelopment Plan for the D.B. Revitalization Area and the Redevelopment Agency adopted
R-97-15, a Resolution of the D.B. Redevelopment Agency declaring its policy to accomplish
redevelopment without eminent domain. Copies of these documents are available to the public
at City Hall and at Redevelopment Agency Town Hall Meetings. The Redevelopment Project
Area is comprised of all of the commercial and industrial areas together with the major road
thoroughfares which connect them within the City of D.B_ 89% of the City's total property
valuation lies outside of the Project Area. He defined redevelopment as a process that makes
available financial resources to eliminate or alleviate economical and physical blight. These
financial resources are derived by receiving a greater percentage of incremental increases in
property taxes collected from property owners within a project area. He explained the process
using graphs to show the current allocation of property tax monies. He further explained that
these calculations do not affect the City's residential property which lie outside the Project Area.
Martha Bruske stated that the process would be better explained if the speaker referred to
business property tax and residential property tax.
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 PAGE 2 TOWN HALL MEETING
ED/Belanger stated that any commercial or industrial zoned businesses lying within the project
area are subject to the tax calculations. Residential businesses (home occupations) are not
within the project area and are not affected by the tax calculations. Residential property taxes
that property owners currently pay will continue to be allocated on precisely the same basis they
are calculated today. Regarding Assembly Bill (AB) 1290, he explained that the Redevelopment
Project Area Plan may only incur debt within its first 25. The Plan allows a 30 -year period from
its inception to set in motion the activities that are intended to meet the goals and objectives of
the Plan. The Plan has 45 years to retire the debt incurred within the first 20 years of the Plan.
In response to Chair/Werner, ED/Belanger explained that AB 1290 prohibits pirating of
businesses from one community to another community. Two types of such businesses are auto
dealerships malls and "big box" retail shopping malls.
Jerry Hamilton asked if a property such as K -Mart could be redeveloped since it already exists.
ED/Belanger responded that redevelopment funds can be used to redevelop existing properties.
AM/Harmony asked if redevelopment funds could be used to rehab existing properties and create
an auto mall.
ED/Belanger responded that redevelopment funds can be used to rehab existing urban
properties. However, AB 1290 clearly states that auto malls are not allowed under any
circumstances.
AM/Ansari asked what kinds of activities are allowed under housing set aside rules.
ED/Belanger responded that a variety of activities fall under the umbrella of housing set aside
rules: Housing assistance, rehabilitation loans for private property owners, etc and explained
low- and moderate- income housing.
In response to Jerry Hamilton, ED/Belanger explained that it is more likely that the type of low -
and moderate- income housing in D.B. would be in the area of senior housing.
In response to AM/Harmony, ED/Belanger stated that the Redevelopment Agency has not yet
defined the Project Area allocation of resources. Generally speaking, the only cities that have
separate Agency Member boards of directors are the larger California cities that have land use
objectives.
In response to Jerry Hamilton, ED/Belanger responded that redevelopment funds may be used
for redevelopment of existing commercial and industrial properties. Redevelopment monies may
not be used for construction on vacant land.
Don Schad asked if D.B. voters should be able to determine who serves on the Agency Board.
ED/Belanger reiterated that the voters elect Council Members who in turn serve as Agency Board
Members.
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 PAGE 3 TOWN HALL MEETING
In response to AM/Harmony and Jerry Hamilton, ED/Belanger explained that the golf course is
not included in the Redevelopment Project Area. The City's General Plan designates the facility
as "Golf Course" and not as industrial or commercial use.
Responding to AM/Harmony, ED/Belanger indicated that it would take approximately one year
to amend the Redevelopment Project Area.
M/Huff stated that the exclusion of the golf course property from the project area is a reflection
of the community's desires. A Project Area Committee must be comprised of members of the
community residing within the project area.
AM/Harmony asked what kind of citizen involvement took place in the creation of the
Redevelopment Project Area Plan.
ED/Belanger explained that 15 to 20 public City Council and Planning Commission meetings were
held to discuss redevelopment prior to Council's Adoption of the Redevelopment Project Area.
Martha Bruske asked Council candidates to explain how redevelopment benefits the citizens of
D. B.
ED/Belanger explained that all versions of the City's proposed General Plans contained
redevelopment as an objective. The City could not engage in redevelopment unless it is a
provision of the adopted General Plan.
AM/Harmony asked if the General Plan that was adopted in 1995 was subjected to a public vote.
Al Perez asked ED/Belanger to cite negative impacts of redevelopment
ED/Belanger responded that the impacts of redevelopment depend upon decision makers such
as city council members, consultants, and city staff. For all negative examples of poorly run
redevelopment agencies, there are numerous examples of positive results of well run
redevelopment agencies.
ED/Belanger explained to AM/Harmony that two requests by property owners to have their
properties removed from the Redevelopment Project Area were denied by Council due to their
non -conforming uses.
Martha Bruske again asked how redevelopment will benefit the residents and property owners
of this community and how the city will prevent urbanization.
ED/Belanger reiterated that no Redevelopment Project Area Plan is capable of being approved
unless it is consistent with and conforms to the City's General Plan. Undeveloped areas are
included within the Project Area Plan consistent with the City's General Plan. Land uses are not
determined by the Redevelopment Agency. Land uses for undeveloped properties are
determined by the City Council.
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 PAGE 4 TOWN HALL MEETING
Don Schad asked why Sandstone Canyon is considered blighted and the SunCal property is not
considered blighted.
ED/Belanger stated that the consultant and attorney recommended that, based upon a proposed
development project, Sandstone Canyon was determined to be blighted with respect to drainage
problems. When L.A. County approved the development, they undersized the inlet. The new
developer has had to correct the drainage structure. In order to provide protection, the area was
included.
Debby O'Connor asked if all redevelopment projects will be subject to the public hearing process.
ED/Belanger indicated that rehabilitation projects for existing properties and redevelopment
projects for new development to begin is a land use application and is subject to the requirements
of the City's General Plan, Development Code and CEQA. Redevelopment does not supplant
land use planning.
Martha Bruske expressed concern about the political fight over redevelopment and felt that when
we became a city, redevelopment was the plan to supplement the City's coffers when the
subventions ceased. She asked about the City's plan to buffer existing residential
neighborhoods. She believed the City's businesses were allowed to deteriorate in order to justify
redevelopment. She asked the City to find out how many home businesses exist in the City.
Further, she expressed concern that the redevelopment issue is not being voted upon by the
citizens and felt that citizens have a right to vote on what occurs in their city.
Don Schad said he was astonished about the lack of participation at this meeting and suggested
that the City provide notice of all public meetings to every citizen. He asked "how long is the
moratorium?"
Allen Wilson believed redevelopment will be a good step toward a long term solution to the city's
economic considerations. Council is elected by the people and is responsible to the voters. If
the citizens don't like Council's actions, Council Members can be voted out of office. He
suggested the City move forward in a positive manner.
Joe Ruzicka stated that if the citizens want more of their tax dollars utilized within the city,
economic revitalization through redevelopment will provide the vehicle. Redevelopment law has
been changed drastically by AB 1290 to insure protection for taxpayers. Redevelopment is a tool
the City can utilize with confidence, determination and watchfulness, to help make the City
financially stable. The City has to have the courage and foresight to proceed.
Clyde Hennessee believed that redevelopment is primarily for the benefit of the City's business
community and that business owners have good intentions toward the City. He further believed
that Redevelopment will benefit the community but he would like for it to be more difficult to
change the rules.
4. WRAP UP AND NEXT MEETING PLAN: AM/Harmony said he heard that some merchants
felt that redevelopment is causing their rents to be increased. He indicated that, as a result of
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 PAGE 5 TOWN HALL MEETING
redevelopment, developers could receive cheap money, fix up property and sell it at a huge profit
to the detriment of merchants. He believed the city will see a lot of small businesses close.
AM/Herrera said she has discussed redevelopment with numerous citizens who wish to leave
redevelopment decisions to their elected officials. Most of the public is satisfied with Council's
direction. Redevelopment will benefit citizens because it will bring in more sales tax revenue to
support retail and City programs, etc. Redevelopment will replace possible residential property
tax increases.
AM/Ansari said she is concerned about the negativity being spread around the community. The
City will lose almost $2 million in subventions which a cut in City expenses will not replace.
Council is mandated by the General Plan and needs to be visionary and proactive and focus on
business retention and enticing new businesses to relocate to the City.
VC/Huff cited numerous methods for citizens to voice their opinions and be heard. He pointed
out that only two D.B. residences are included within the Project Area due to their non -conforming
status - they are included in commercially- or industrially- zoned properties. Residential
properties will not be affected by changes in taxes. Redevelopment does not replace the City's
General Plan - it supplements the General Plan and is good for D.B. It will support economic
redevelopment without affecting the residential taxpayers.
Chair/Werner again pointed out that redevelopment can be used to buffer neighborhoods by
providing sound walls along freeways, mitigate traffic gridlock, create a central "downtown" type
of area, etc. He reiterated his belief in redevelopment and its benefits to the City.
Chair/Werner thanked the Town Hall Meeting participants

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
MEETING DATE: October 21, 1997 REPORT DATE: October 15, 1997
FROM: Terrence L. Belanger, City Manager
TITLE: SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE 07 (1997) "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF
DIAMOND BAR ADDING CHAPTER 10.50 OF TITLE 10 OF THE DIAMOND BAR MUNICIPAL
CODE RELATING TO PARKING CITATION PROCESSING PROCEDURES"
SUMMARY: At the October 7, 1997 meeting, the City Council approved the first reading of
Ordinance 07 (1997) regarding the administration of parking citations. The Ordinance codifies
the decriminalized parking citation process. Through AB 408 and AB 780, the processing of
parking citations was removed from the courts, and the bills established a civil administrative
review process for the collection and contesting of parking citations. Cities are required to
establish a schedule of parking violation penalties, late payment penalties, administrative fees,
and other related charges. Since the decriminalization of the parking citations, two additional
modifications have occurred through AB 1228 and AB 3157, which address the time limits for the
appeal of parking citations. The City has contracted with Judicial Data Services, Inc. and the City
of La Verne to administer the parking citations and to provide hearing examination services.
Through the legislation to decriminalize parking citations, the administrative process was placed
into the California Vehicle Code. The City, heretofore, has not adopted municipal code
provisions relating to parking citation administration. Therefore, to codify the City's
administration of parking citations an ordinance has been prepared.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve for second reading and
adoption by title only and waive full reading of Ordinance 07 (1997) " An Ordinance of the City
of Diamond Bar adding Chapter 10.50 of Title 10 of the Diamond Bar Municipal Code Relating
to Parking Citation Processing Procedures."
