OLD BUSINESS: 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."

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 5.

PUBLIC COMMENTS: Mike Goldenberg, DBIA, spoke about the "Paint Our Town" project and presented a video displaying the efforts made by the volunteers. Bob Zirbes, DBIA President, thanked Chairman Goldenberg and this year's project volunteers. He stated next year's goal is to recruit 200 volunteers to paint 6 D. B. homes. Jerry Hamilton said he did not receive a positive response from the Sheriffs 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.

PUBLIC HEARINGS: 7.1 PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING PARKING CITATIONS - CM/Belanger explained that the proposed ordinance takes the citation process from the L.A. County Code and places it into the City's Code. The process will not change. M/Huff opened the public hearing. Clyde Hennessee asked if the ordinance approves a collection process. 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 decriminalization of parking citations. The ordinance is a routine matter 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 parking citation processing and collection system. A. 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.

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. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Ansari, Harmony, Werner, MPT/ Herrera, M/Huff NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None RECESS TO REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEETING: 9:47 p.m. RECONVENE CITY COUNCIL MEETING: M/Huff reconvened the City Council meeting at 9:50 p.m. 10. COUNCIL SUB -COMMITTEE REPORTS AND COUNCIL COMMENTS: C/Ansari reported that Governor Wilson signed AB1226, which continues the City's 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 are encouraged about the prospects of redevelopment. Further, the City received 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 future and encouraged citizens to carefully examine the City Council candidates and choose positive and proactive leaders. M/Huff encouraged anyone who is interested in attending the North County Leadership Institute to contact the City Clerk. He spoke about the City's public hearing process and current development projects. 12. ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business to discuss, M/Huff adjourned the meeting at 10:05 p.m. in memory of former La Canada- Flintridge Council Member Jack Hastings. ATTEST: Mayor LYNDA BURGESS, City Clerk MINUTES OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR REGULAR MEETING OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION AUGUST 12, 1997 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 Drive, Diamond Bar, California. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Ron Pflugrath of The Planning and Zoning Alliance. ROLL CALL: Present: 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 OLD BUSINESS: None NEW BUSINESS - None CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING: 1. Draft Development Code (Zoning Cod• Amendment SCA 97-1) Article III - Site Planning and General Development AUGUST 12, 1997 PAGE 2 PLANNING COMMISSION Regulations. Mr. Pflugrath presented Chapter 3, Fences, Hedges and Walls, of Article III. C/McManus asked for clarification of the third section of Table 3, Page III -20 and whether a maximum height limit of 30 inches would be imposed for open fencing. 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. Swimming pools, spas and similar features under Special wall and pencinq Requirements on Page III -22 to designate the applicable City Code. Mr. Pflugrath indicated he will check to determine whether it is contained within the city code or specific building code section. Chair/Ruzicka asked that an example be sited under Authority to waive or Modify Requirements on Page III -23. C/Goldenberg again asked for consistency regarding references to Hearing Officer and Director throughout the document. Mr. Pflugrath stated the Director and Hearing Officer are not necessarily the same person. C/Goldenberg asked that both terms be included in the glossary. Chair/Ruzicka asked that a statement be included to indicate that although the Hearing Officer and Director are currently the same person, in the future these positions may be held by two individuals. Mr. Gravdahl spoke about a six foot block wall in the 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 question. Bob Zirbes reiterated his concern that a definition of "view" be contained in the document. He asked that AUGUST 12, 1997 PAGE 3 PLANNING COMMISSION "temporary lighting and holiday lighting" be addressed in Article III. Mr. Pflugrath indicated the. code does not address residential lighting. Other temporary uses such as Christmas tree lots and pumpkin lots are required to obtain temporary use permits. Residential holiday lighting could be addressed under the Property Maintenance section. Mr. Zirbes asked if areas for affordable housing are defined within the City's General Plan. SP/Johnson stated that the General Plan addresses density. The State requires that affordable housing be disbursed throughout the City and not concentrated in any one area. HILLSIDE MANAGEMENT C/McManus asked that "elide" be corrected to "slide" in 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. He requested rewording of the first sentence in Paragraph 2 under B. Ezceptions. Suggested wording: "The Commission may approval a Variance from the standards of this Chapter in compliance with 22.xx(Variances) for parcels that are too small in size or of a configuration that would ... etc.@' Chair/Ruzicka asked that subparagraphs D. and E. of the Landfors Grading and Revegetation standards be re - lettered to subparagraphs C. and D. respectively. AUGUST 12, 1997 PAGE 4 PLANNING COMMISSION 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 in the City in accordance with current codes and ordinances. Notices are routinely sent to property owners that the drains must be cleaned and maintained. C/Fong asked for definition of "certify" under 4. Us• of variable slope ratios b. 1). DCM/DeStefano responded that the developer's geotechnical engineer submits a certified soils and geotechnical report and project design for the City's geotechnical review. C/Goldenberg asked the consultant to provide a graphic 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. RECES8: Chair/Ruzicka recessed the meeting at 8:05 p.m. RECONVENE: Chair/Ruzicka reconvened the meeting at 8:25 p.m. 2. Vestinq Tentative Tract Map No. 50314, Conditional Use Permit No. 96-1, Oak Tree Permit No. 96-1 and Sone Change 96-1 (pursuant to Code Sections Title 21, and Title 22.56.215, 22.26, Part 16 and 22.16 Part 2) are requests to approve a 15 lot subdivision on approximately 44 acres. The average lot size will be 2.92 acres. Six of AUGUST 12, 1997 PAGE 9 PLANNING COMMISSION the proposed lots are part of two approved tracts. Therefore, VTTM 50314's development will result in a net increase of 13 residential lots. The project site is within Los Angeles County's Significant Ecological Area No. 15. The Zone Change will convert the current zoning of R-1,200 and A-2-2 to R-1-40,000. Project Address: Southeast of the most southerly intersection of Steeplechase Lane and Wagon Train Lane. Project Owner/Applicant: Kurt Nelson, Windmill Development, 3480 Torrance Boulevard, Suite 300, Torrance, CA 90503 AP/Lungu stated the referenced project was presented to the Planning Commission on July 22, 1997. At that time, the public hearing was opened, comments were received on the Draft Environmental Impact Report No. 97-1 (SCH 96- 071104) and the project entitlement. The public hearing was continued to August 12, 1997. The purpose of the continuance is to allow staff, City 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. Property Address: Peterson Park, 24142 Sylvan Glen Road, Diamond Bar Property Owner: City of Diamond Bar, 21660 E. Copley Drive, Diamond Bar Applicant: L.A. Cellular, 17785 Center Court Drive North, Cerritos, CA AUGUST 12, 1997 PAGE 15 PLANNING CONKISSION 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 Roll Call vote: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Fong, Goldenberg, McManus, VC/Schad, Chair/Ruzicka NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: None 2. Dev*lopaent Review No. 97-4 is a request (pursuant to Section 22.72.020.A) to construct a 36,761 square foot, two story industrial building to be utilized for warehousing, assembly an associated office uses on a 78,442 square foot (1.8 acre) vacant site.

Center Court Drive, Suite 211, Covina, CA 91724 Staff recommends that the Planning Commission open the public hearing, receive comments, and continue this item to the meeting of August 26, 1997. Chair/Ruzicka opened the public hearing. There was no one present who wished to speak on this item. 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 Applicability on Page III -53. Mr. Pflugrath responded that the Buyer's Awareness Package for the homeowner or information provided by the property owner for renters. VC/Schad asked that "k. invasive plants to he removed." 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. INFORMATIONAL ITEI[S: DCM/DeStefano stated he and AP/Lungu will be absent from the August 19, 1997 Development Code meeting. SP/Johnson will participate in portions of the City Council meeting being held on the same evening. SCHEDULE OF FUTURE EVENTS: As presented in the agenda.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Robert Zirbes. ROLL CALL: Present: Chairman Ruzicka, vice Chairman Schad, Commissioners Goldenberg and McManus Absent: Commissioner Fong Also Present: Acting Planning Commission Secretary Catherine Johnson and Planning Technician Susan Cole. MATTERS FROM THE AUDIENCE/PUBLIC COMMENTS - None CONSENT CALENDAR: 1. Minutes of August 5, 1997. C/Goldenberg moved, C/McManus seconded, to approve the minutes of August 5, 1997 as presented. OLD BUSINESS: None NEW BUSINESS - None CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING: 1. Draft Development Code (Zoning Code Amendment SCA 97-1) Article III - Site Planning and General Development Regulations. Mr. Pflugrath continued with Article III presentation for the Chapter entitled Noise Control On Page III -60. Mr. Pflugrath corrected the third line of 3. Standard No. 3 on Page III -64 to read: "shall be the applicable noise level from Subsection A, plus IQ (instead of 20) dB; or, etc. Mr. Pflugrath responded that Table 3 Ezterior Noise Standards on -Page III -64 complies with the City's General Plan guidelines. Mr. Pflugrath indicated CNEL at the end of C. Residential design requirements 1. on Page III -66 is stricken so that the paragraph ends following 40 dBA. 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.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Don Gravdahl. ROLL CALL: Present: Chairman Ruzicka, Vice Chairman Schad, Commissioners Goldenberg, McManus and Fong Also Present: Acting Planning Commission Secretary Catherine Johnson, Associate Planner Ann Lungu and CA/Jenkins. MATTERS FROM THE AUDIENCE/PUBLIC COMMENTS - None CONSENT CALENDAR: 1. Minutes of August 12, 1997. VC/Schad moved, C/Goldenberg seconded, to approve the minutes of August 12, 1997 as presented.

Draft Development Cod• (Zoning Code Amendment SCA 97-1) Article III - Site Planning and General Development Regulations: Review of Article II - Zoning Districts and Allowable Land Uses, and Article V - Subdivisions and the Zoning Map. 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 natural grade or" so that the second line reads: "...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. RECESS: Chair/Ruzicka recessed the meeting at 8:25 p.m. RECONVENE: Chair/Ruzicka reconvened the meeting at 8:45 p.m. CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING: (Continued) 2. Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 50314, Conditional Use Permit No. 96-1, Oak Tree Permit No. 96-1 and Sone Change 96-1 (pursuant to Code Sections Title 21, and Title 22.56.215, 22.26 Part 16 and 22.16 Part 2) are requests to approve a 15 lot subdivision on approximately 44 acres. The average lot size will be 2.92 acres. Six of the proposed lots are part of two approved tracts. Therefore, VTTM 50314's development will result in a net increase of 13 residential lots. The project site is within Los Angeles County Significant Ecological Area No. 15. The Zone Change will convert the current zoning of AUGUST 26, 1997 PAGE 8 PLANNING COMMISSION R-1,200 and A-2-2 to R-1-40,000. (Continued from August 12, 1997. Project Address: Southeast of the most southerly intersection of Steeplechase Lane and Wagon Train Lane. Project Owner/Applicant: Kurt Nelson, Windmill Development, 3480 Torrance Boulevard, Suite 300, Torrance, CA 90503 AP/Lungu explained that staff received a letter from Kurt Nelson, Windmill Development Company, Inc. dated August 19, 1997, requesting that the public hearing for VTM 50314 be continued to September 23, 1997. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission open the public hearing, receive comments, and continue the public hearing to September 23, 1997. Chair/Ruzicka reopened the public hearing. There was no one present who wished to speak on this item. VC/Schad 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 September 23, 1997. The motion was carried 5-0. 3. Development Review No. 97-4 is a request (pursuant to Section 22.72.020.A) to construct a 35,461 square foot, two story industrial building to be utilized for warehousing, assembly and associated office uses on a 78,442 square foot (1.8 acre) vacant site. (Continued from August 12, 1997) Property Location: Northeast corner of Lemon Avenue and Lycoming Street Property Owner: Lan Plus, Andy Teng, 17088 E, Green Drive, City of Industry, CA 91745 Applicant: Kent Wu Architects, 1274 E. Center Court Drive, Suite 211, Covina, CA 91724 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 shall install a decorative masonry wall not less than 30 AUGUST 26, 1997 PAGE 9 PLANNING COIMMISSION inches and not greater than 42 inches in height parallel 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 end of the first paragraph under Survey Procedure and Practice on Page V-71.

ADJOQRNKENT: There being no further business to come before the Planning Commission, Chair/Ruzicka adjourned the meeting at 10:05 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., September 2, 1997 in the South Coast Air Quality Management Board Hearing Room. Respectfully Submitted, /s/ Catherine Johnson Catherine Johnson Acting Secretary Attest: /s/ JQe Ruzicka Joe Ruzicka Chairman MINUTES OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR REGULAR MEETING OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 2, 1997 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 Drive, Diamond Bar, California. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Senior Planner Catherine Johnson. ROLL CALL: Present: Chairman Ruzicka, Vice Chairman Schad, Commissioners Goldenberg and McManus Absent: Commissioner Fong Also Present: Acting Planning Commission Secretary Catherine Johnson and Associate Planner Ann Lungu. MATTERS FROM THE AUDIENCE/PUBLIC COMMENTS - None CONSENT CALENDAR: 1. Minutes of August 19, 1997. Chair/Ruzicka requested with be corrected to width in the last line on Page 4. C/Goldenberg moved, minutes of August 19, carried 4-0. OLD BUSINESS: None NEW BUSINESS - None CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARINGS: VC/Schad seconded, to approve the 1997 as corrected. The motion was 1. Draft Development Code (Zoning Code Amendment SCA 97-1) Article II and Article V of the Development Code and make an informal recommendation. It is recommended that the Zoning Map be continued to a date to be determined by the Planning Commission. Ron Pflugrath, AICP, The Planning and Zoning Alliance, and the Commission discussed the Citywide Design Guidelines draft and view protection. Mr. Pflugrath stated there are three potential approaches to view protection: Impose quantified standards, define standards and identify enforcement, and determine how the standards are to be applied (new and/or current structures). SEPTEMBER 2, 1997 PAGE 2 PLANNING COMMISSION SP/Johnson stated the General Plan directs the City to develop standards. Basic standards will be included within the Development Code and expanded guidelines will be included within the Citywide Design Guidelines. Basic privacy issues are included within the draft Citywide 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. SEPTEMBER 2, 1997 PAGE 7 PLANNING COMMISSION PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS: Chair/Ruzicka thanked the Commission, staff and the consultants for their work on drafting the Development Code. He said this is the best project he has been associated with in his time as a Commissioner in the City of Diamond Bar.

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 The Planning Commission concurred to accept the Development Code and Draft Citywide Design Guidelines as presented to include the amendments and corrections noted. 2.

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". Staff concured with Mr. Wu's request. SEPTEMBER 9, 1997 PAGE 6 PLANNING COMMISSION VC/Schad reiterated his concerns regarding black walnut and pepper trees on the property.

C/Tye moved, C/Holder seconded, to approve Consent Calendar Items 1.2 and 1.5. The motion was carried 5-0. 2. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS: 1. Recreation Update. AS/Lopez presented the 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. AUGUST 28, 1997 PAGE 6 PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION ADJOURNMENT: There being no other business to come before the Commission, VC/O'Connor moved, C/Tye seconded, to adjourn the meeting. Chair/Finnerty adjourned the meeting at 9:22 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. September 25, 1997.

COMMISSION CONVENTS - None III. PUBLIC CONKENTS - None IV. CONSENT CALENDAR - None 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 vote: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Morris, Istik, AUGUST 14, 1997 PAGE 4 TiT COMMISSION VII. VIII. IY.

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. XI. SCHEDULE OF FUTURE CITY XEETINGS: Received and filed. XII.

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.

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.

Y I 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."

The parking citation or copy thereof, shall be considered a record kept in the ordinary course of business of the issuing agency and the processing agency, and shall be prima facie evidence of the facts contained therein. (b) The parking citation shall be served by attaching it to the vehicle either under the windsheild wiper or in another conspicuous place upon the vehicle so as to be easily observed by the person in charge of the vehicle upon the return of that person. (c) Once the parking citation is prepared and attached to the vehicle pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) above, the issuing officer shall file notice of the parking violation with the processing agency.

If after a copy of the notice of parking violation is attached to the vehicle, the issuing officer determines that there is incorrect data on the notice, including but not limited to the date or time, the issuing officer may indicate in writing, on a form attached to the original notice, the necessary correction to allow for the timely entry of the notice on the processing agency's data system. A copy of the correction shall be mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle. Under no circumstances shall a personal relationship with any public official, officer, issuing officer, or law enforcement agency be grounds for cancellation. (f) If a processing agency makes a finding that there are grounds for cancellation as set forth in the city's administrative policy, or pursuant to any other basis provided by law, then the finding or findings shall be filed with the processing agency, and the parking citation shall be canceled pursuant to subsection (1) of paragraph (a) of section 10.50.12. 10.50.05.

If, based on the results of that investigation, the processing agency is satisfied that the violation did not occur, because the registered owner was not 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 city's administrative policy warrant a dismissal, the processing agency shall cancel the parking citation, and make an adequate record of the reason or reasons for canceling the parking citation. The processing agency shall mail the results of the investigation by first class mail to the contestant within ten (10) calendar days of the decision. (2) If the contestant is not satisfied with the results of the investigation provided for in subsection (1), the contestant may, within twenty-one (21) calendar days of the mailing of the results of the initial investigation, deposit the amount of the parking penalty or provide proof of an inability to deposit the parking penalty, and request an administrative hearing. An administrative hearing shall be held within ninety (90) calendar days following the receipt of a request for an administrative hearing, excluding time tolled pursuant to Article 2 of Chapter 1 of Division 17 of the Vehicle Code. The operator requesting the administrative hearing may request one continuance, not to exceed twenty-one (21) calendar days. (3) If the contestant prevails at the administrative hearing, then the full amount of the parking penalty deposited shall be refunded. (b) The administrative review procedure shall consist of the following: 970922 10572-00001 afs 0962326.non 1 — 8 (1) The contestant shall make a written request for administrative hearing on a form and in a manner satisfactory to the processing agency, and may request to contest the parking citation either in person or by written declaration. (2) If the contestant is a minor, that person shall be permitted to appear at a hearing or admit responsibility for a parking citation without the necessity of the appointment of a guardian. The processing agency may proceed against the minor in the same manner as if the minor were an adult. (3) The administrative hearing shall be conducted before a qualified hearing examiner as defined in Vehicle Code Section 20215 and appointed or contracted by the city to conduct the administrative review. (c) The issuing officer shall not be required to participate in an administrative hearing. The issuing agency shall not be required to produce any evidence other than the parking citation or copy thereof, and information received from the department identifying the registered owner of the vehicle. This documentation in proper form shall be considered prima facie evidence of the violation. (d) The hearing examiner's final decision shall be in writing and delivered personally to the contestant or the contestant's agent, or delivered by first class mail within ten (10) working days following the hearing. (e) If the contestant is not the registered owner of the vehicle, all notices to the contestant required under this section shall also be given to the registered owner by first class mail. 10.50.13. Collection of unpaid parking penalties. Except as otherwise provided below, the processing agency shall proceed under paragraph (a) or paragraph (b), but not both, in order to collect an unpaid parking penalty: (a) File an itemization of unpaid parking penalties and other related fees with the department for collection pursuant to the California Vehicle Code Section 4760 or the successor statute thereto. (b) If more than four hundred dollars ($400.00) in unpaid parking penalties and other related fees have been accrued by any one registered owner or the registered owner's renter, lessee or sales transferee, proof thereof may be filed with the court which has the same 970922 10572-00001 afs 0962326.non 1 - 9 effect as a civil judgment. Execution may be levied 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 been filed and the date that the judgment shall become effective. The notice shall also indicate the time: that execution may be levied against that person's assets, that liens may be placed against that person's property, that the person's wages may be garnished, and that other steps may be taken to satisfy the judgment. The notice shall also state that the processing agency will terminate the commencement of a civil judgment proceeding if all parking penalties and other related fees are paid prior to the date set for hearing. If judgment is entered, then the city may file a writ of execution or an abstract with the court clerk's office identifying the means by which the civil judgment is to be satisfied. If a judgment is rendered for the processing agency, that agency may contract with a collection agency. The processing agency shall pay the established first paper civil filing fee at the time an entry of civil judgment is requested. (c) If the registration of the vehicle has not been renewed for (60) calendar days beyond the renewal date, and the citation has not been collected by the department pursuant to the California Vehicle Code Section 4760, or the successor statute thereto, then the processing agency may file proof of unpaid penalties and fees with the court which has the same effect as a civil judgment as provided above in subsection (b). (d) The processing agency shall not file a civil judgment with the court relating to a parking citation filed with the department unless the processing agency has determined that the registration of the vehicle has not been renewed for sixty (60) calendar days beyond the renewal date and the citation has not been collected by the department pursuant to the California Vehicle Code Section 4760 or the successor statute thereto. 10.50.14. Obligation of processing agency once parking penalty paid.

The processing agency shall, in turn, obtain and record in its records the name, address and driver's license number of the person actually given the copy of the citation information. (2) Determine whether the notice of delinquent parking violation has been filed with department or a civil judgment has been entered pursuant to section 10.50.13. (b) If the processing agency receives full payment of all parking penalties and other related fees and the processing agency has neither filed a notice of delinquent parking violation nor entered a civil judgment, then all proceedings for that citation shall cease. (c) If the notice of delinquent parking violation has been filed with the department and has been returned by the department pursuant to the provisions of the California Vehicle Code and payment of the parking penalty has been made, along with any other related fees, then the proceedings for that citation shall cease.

Filing of annual reports. The processing agency shall prepare an audited report at the end of each fiscal year setting forth the number of cases processed, and all sums received and distributed, together with any other information that may be specified by the city or its authorized issuing agency or the state controller.

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 5.

'Z I 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."
