JOINT TOWN HALL MEETING
AUGUST 23,1997
CALL TO ORDER: Mayor Pro Tem Herrera and Diamond Bar
Redevelopment Agency Chairman Werner
called the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m. in the
SCAQMD Auditorium, 21865 E. Copley Drive,
Diamond Bar, California.
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Mayor Pro
Tem Herrera.
CITY COUNCIL ROLL CALL: Council Members Ansari, Harmony, Werner, and
Mayor Pro Tem Herrera. Mayor Huff was
excused.
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
ROLL CALL: Agency Members Ansari, Harmony, Herrera, and
Chairman Werner. Vice Chairman Huff was
excused.
Also Present were: Terrence L. Belanger, City Manager and Redevelopment
Agency Executive Director and Lynda Burgess, City Clerk and Redevelopment
Agency Secretary.
CM/ED/Belanger stated that this meeting would be the first in a series of 5 City
Council Town Hall meetings on the subject of redevelopment. Tentative dates have
been set for future meetings to be held on September 20, October 25, November
22 and December 20, 1997, at the following locations: Diamond Point Club House,
Heritage Park Community Center, South Point Middle School and SCAQMD. He
then explained that redevelopment is a process that makes available financial
resources to eliminate or alleviate economic and physical blight. The financial
resources are derived by receiving a greater percentage of the incremental
increases in property taxes collected from property owners within a project area.
Using handouts, charts and graphs, he explained the redevelopment process.
C/AM/Harmony asked if Council and the Redevelopment Agency could have taken
eminent domain out of the Redevelopment Plan.
CM/ED/Belanger indicated that three affirmative votes would be required to amend
the Plan or to amend a Resolution. A Redevelopment Agency could commence
without the provisions of eminent domain. The Plan could be amended by a 2/3
majority to add eminent domain back into the Plan.
In response to C/AM/Ansari, CM/ED/Belanger explained that eminent domain is
AUGUST 23 1997 PAGE 2 TOV`JN HALL MTG
available only to a Redevelopment Agency within a Project Area for the first twelve
years of the Plan. The current Plan may be amended to delete eminent domain.
In response to C/AM/Harmony's question regarding how building a community
center would alleviate blight, CM/ED/Belanger responded that findings can be found
if evidence
is available to substantiate the findings. Every piece of property located within a
project area does not necessarily have to have an aspect of "blight." He read from
and explained applicable redevelopment law.
In response to C/AM/Harmony's question about whether cities could buy back their
own bonds, CM/ED/Belanger responded that any city that buys its own bonds is
assuming a risk just as any bond purchaser would assume risk. Over the life of the
Project Area, the Agency's total ability to bond is limited to $60,000,000.
Mrs. Grace MacBride, Willapa Ln., asked where the Redevelopment Agency gets
the money to pay back the bonds.
CM/ED/Belanger stated that revenues to Redevelopment Agencies are generated
from all of the properties within the project area which generate additional tax
increment above the tax base for fiscal year 1996/1997 and subsequent years as
a result of the statutory 2% multiplier, and through new development and
modification to existing property, such as renovation or rehabilitation.
Jerry Hamilton, 1429 Copper Mountain Dr., stated that he is a confused homeowner
caught in the middle because there are special interest groups that want
redevelopment and special interest groups that do not want redevelopment. He
said he moved to D.B. because he wanted to live in a rural area. The City's traffic
problems are out of sight, so he is happy with what is presently occurring. He does
not see that redevelopment is beneficial to the residents. He asked what D.B. will
get with a Redevelopment Agency and expressed concern that, as a result of
redevelopment, D.B. will have a hospital, a community center and new shopping
center which will clog the City's streets. He believed the Council and
Redevelopment Agency will have a hard sell to the average homeowner -who need
an explanation of what will happen.
MPT/AM/Herrera responded to Mr. Hamilton that she did not believe D. B. has large
enough parcels of land available to build shopping centers. She explained that she
was more concemed with revitalizing the shopping centers that currently exist. One
of her goals is to provide a Community Center for D.B. and she was not interested
in doing anything that will increase traffic on City streets. Her goal is to eliminate
traffic.
C/AM/Ansari also explained to Mr. Hamilton that she was interested in
AUGUST 23. 1997 PAGE 3 TOWN HALL MTG
redevelopment as a revitalization tool and in attracting new business to the vacant
spaces in the City. Some of the businesses are decaying and difficult to reach.
Redevelopment is a tool that can be used for these purposes with tax monies that
would otherwise be lost to D. B. and used in other areas of the State. The City is
not looking to build new shopping centers but to install signalization and improve
traffic flow at the existing centers.
C/AM/Harmony responded to Mr. Hamilton that he believed residents get very little
out of redevelopment because it will cut other governmental services such as fire
protection that are critical to D.B.
C/Chair/Wemer responded to Mr. Hamilton that his major focus was to see that the
major redevelopment effort is directed toward public improvements. He indicated
that he would like the agency to resolve a major portion of the existing traffic
congestion in the City which he believed can be accomplished through intersection
redesigns. He further believed that redevelopment can assist a developer or an
investor in a commercial development. He pointed out that the Gateway Corporate
Center traffic promotes major traffic congestion with its current occupancy. He
indicated he would like to see a first time buyer assistance program to enable future
generations to acquire property in the City.
CM/ED/Belanger responded to Mr. Hamilton that the Redevelopment Plan indicates
that it is not a specific plan. The current plan is a document which sets forth the
timeline for planning --a significant portion of which is dedicated to making specific
plans for the activities that are permitted and anticipated within the Project Area
Plan. With regard to what will occur and how it will benefit the homeowner and
community, these matters are handled through planning that begins in the next
phase of redevelopment. The lowest amount of increment will occur in the first
several years of the project. Page C-9 of Section C of the Report to Council calls
out a timeline. The next step in the process is to put together the specific plan
which will include an analysis of how redevelopment benefits the project area and
the goals that are set forth, as well as the benefits to the community.
Wilbur Smith, 21630 Fairwind Ln., suggested that the information available in the
Preliminary Report be placed in the current plan. He pointed out the disclaimer in
Section 7 which states the City does not stand behind the Redevelopment Agency
bonds and, as a result, he is concerned that the agency will not have a marketable
bond. Further, he expressed concern that even if the Redevelopment Agency does
not perform, it will still receive tax increment revenue and the other State taxing
agencies will not be getting a share of the increased revenue. He said the plan
should contain a statement that says the Redevelopment Agency materially
contributes to the improvement or increase in the tax increment.
C/AM/Harmony responded to Mr. Smith that if there is no debt, the County will not
AUGUST 23 1997 PAGE 4 TOWN HALL MTG
pay the tax increment to the Redevelopment Agency. The increment will be passed
through to the other agencies. He said it is not clear to him that this agency will
generate the type of increment that it claims.
C/Chair/Werner agreed with Mr. Smith that the agency should give careful
consideration to purchasing bonds. However, the City has adopted a plan and has
set the process in motion to proceed.
C/AM/Ansari said that if the Redevelopment Agency appears to be a bad risk,.
bonds will not be provided.
Mike Goldenberg thanked ED/Belanger for providing a clear and concise
presentation on the revitalization program. He asked why a familiar group of
residents in the City can ask the citizens to provide a plan that will help to revitalize
our economic community, place it on the ballot and then sue the City stating the
Redevelopment Plan is illegal. The citizens pay the bill. The City's shrinking
resources have to be spent on litigation or ballot measures, or both. Would our tax
dollars be better spent by providing services to D.B., or should monies be spent on
attorneys who do not reside in the City. How will the City get funding to maintain
its parks and streets or develop a better library and build a community center. Why
are citizens willing to let the County take our property tax dollars and send them to
the San Fernando Valley and why do we hesitate in demanding that our property
tax dollars be spent locally to provide services that the citizens need desperately.
He said he wanted his property tax dollars spent locally and favored having local
elected officials develop a plan and spending priorities for the City.
C/AM/Harmony responded to Mr. Goldenberg that the D.B. Residents and Business
Assn. is not a party to the lawsuit action. He indicated that traditionally, if a City
passes illegal legislation and there is no objection within 90 days, it becomes law
and no further objection can be lodged. Relative to the current lawsuit, the
objections must be filed in court to mark the time.
C/ChairN\/erner agreed with Mr. Goldenberg. He indicated that he supported City
incorporation and felt that for similar reasons, he wanted the City's tax dollars spent
locally. He noted that many of the same people that are suing the City or
attempting to hold up the redevelopment process were also opposed to
incorporation of the City.
Bob Arceo, Senior Citizens Club, said that he was told a Senior Citizens Center
would be built starting in July. Further, he indicated he was told that Senior
Citizens must go to City Hall for a copy of the Redevelopment Plan. Many Seniors
are disabled and cannot drive and they must depend on the mail. He asked if there
will be a watchdog committee to make certain how the agency funds are spent. He
asked what the agency will do regarding traffic congestion on Grand Ave. south of
AUGUST 23 1997 PAGE 5 TOWN HALL '%lTG
D.B. Blvd.
MPT/AM/Herrera responded to Mr. Arceo that many have expressed an interest in
building a community center to benefit the residents. At this time, the City owns one
public building—Heritage Paris Community Center --which is primarily devoted to the
Senior Citizens Group. The City pays for one liaison for the Senior's group. The
Redevelopment Agency Board will monitor spending of the Redevelopment Agency
funds which enjoys the same membership as Council. If the public does not like the
direction of the members, they can be voted out of office.
C/AMIAnsari stated that the senior citizens groups are a priority for the current
Council who realizes that a larger facility is needed. However, the seniors are the
only group that enjoys its own building. The City does not have a City Hall or
Community Center. Grand Ave. presents an ongoing problem that the City is
working to resolve.
C/Chair/Werner understood Mr. Arceo's concerns and stated that there are many
City groups that wish recognition and facilities. Council makes every effort to be
fair and equitable across the board with limited resources.
Carolyn Elfelt, 21119 Silver Cloud Dr., asked if the City's school districts and fire
districts will receive less monies because of redevelopment. She asked that an
allocation chart be provided at the next Town Hall Meeting.
CM/ED/Belanger responded to Mrs. Elfelt that, under State law, mechanisms exist
that deal with school districts and fire districts. School financing has been
predominately dictated by the State of California since 1974. The law will be
provided at the next Town Hall Meeting.
C/AM/Harmony responded to Mrs. Elfelt that the State, under law, supplants the
same amount of increment to the school districts.
C/Chair/Werner stated that if redevelopment had a significant impact on the City's
school districts, he would expect that school district representatives would attend
redevelopment agency public hearings and raise objections. Conversely, there may
be common ground for the agency to assist the school districts in the event they are
unable to perform on their own.
Jack Gutowski said that he did not appreciate attacks on a certain group of citizens
He believed that citizens who are concerned about excessive shopping center
development have a right to be concerned. He was insulted that D.B. High School
had become a political action committee in this instance and wanted to know what
types of businesses the agency intends to attract to the City. He asked how the
City can guarantee businesses will remain in the community after receiving a gift
AUGUST 23, 1997 PAGE 6 TOWN HALL MTG
of funds. Further, he stated that he wants D.B. to remain a bedroom community
MPT/AM/Herrera responded that no one likes slurs against them and resented
individuals circulating petitions who state that Council is looking to put money in
their pockets because of redevelopment. She has lived in the community for 31
years, was elected by the public, has served the public for 18 years and resents
these aspersions on her integrity. She stated that low cost loans would be grants --
not gifts. She believed every citizen needs to be involved in improving D.B.
C/AM/Ansari explained that she did not know if the City will lose businesses to other
cities after granting redevelopment assistance. The City has to start somewhere.
She said she had visited surrounding cities that have successfully used
redevelopment to revitalize downtown and other blighted areas. She reiterated her
concern to have a project area citizens committee.
C/AM/Harmony told Mr. Gutowski that, in his opinion, it had not been proven that
the free enterprise system would not correct any little problems that exist. There
is no blight in D.B.
C/Chair/Werner reported that the plan before the Agency, Council and community
is a plan to establish a process. Over the next few years, the plan will be defined.
Before any monies can be spent on improvements, public hearings will be held.
Clyde Hennessee said he would like to see spending controls placed on the
Redevelopment Agency. He reiterated that he wanted redevelopment for the City
and he believed other citizens also want redevelopment but they are concerned
about how the monies will be used. He expressed concern about future Council
Members and wants protection built into the plan so that it cannot be changed.
C/AM/Ansari agreed with Mr. Hennessee that D.B. does not have a downtown.
Redevelopment could assist with revitalization of certain areas of the City.
MPT/AM/Herrera believed that the K -Mart Shopping Center is a good beginning
point for redevelopment and she envisioned outdoor eating establishments with
trees and gazebos with an entertainment area where citizens can congregate and
socialize. She expressed sadness that people were attempting to kill the plan
before it is fully developed.
C/AM/Harmony stated that businesses are filling up and the economic condition of
the City is improving. The City's original statistics are off -target. There is no
specific plan.
CM/ED/Belanger explained to Mr. Hennessee that the rules that govern the
agency's accounting of resources are the same rules that govern municipalities and
AUGUST 23 1997 PAGE 7 TOWN HALL MTG
other public agencies within the State. A redevelopment agency is a public agency
and most cities' redevelopment agency members happen to be Council members.
In most cities, those two entities meet at the same time and conduct meetings in a
similar fashion. Regarding utilization of redevelopment resources for the
development of a commercial property which will generate sales tax on a parcel of
five acres or more of land not previously developed for urban uses, the agency is
prohibited from using redevelopment funds for that purpose. The Environmental
Revitalization Area document does not suggest big box shopping centers for D. B.;
rather, it indicates that D.B. cannot compete with such entities and should instead
look to itself as a "niche" market and attempt to ascertain its niche in - the
marketplace.
C/AM/Ansari asked that citizens who did not have an opportunity to speak during
this Town Hall Meeting direct their questions to staff.
C/Chair/Werner thanked the Town Hall Meeting participants.
ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business to conduct, Mayor P7o
Tem Herrera and Redevelopment Agency Chairman Werner adjourned the meeting

SECTION C
Implementation Plan That Describes Specific Goals,
Projects, and Expenditures Proposed to be Made
Within the First Five Years and a Description of How
These Projects Will improve or Alleviate Blighting
Conditions
This document presents the Five -Year Implementation Plan ("Implementation Plan") for the
Diamond Bar Economic Revitalization Area of the Diamond Bar Redevelopment Agency. This
Implementation Plan meets the requirements of Section 33490 of the CRL, which was added to
the CRL by the adoption of Assembly Bill 1290 in 1993, and later amended by Senate Bill 732
on September 28, 1994.
Section 33352(c) of the CRL requires that the Agency prepare and adopt an implementation plan
that presents the following: 1) specific goals; 2) anticipated programs, projects, and related
expenditures proposed to be made during the next five years; and 3) an explanation of how the
programs, projects, and related expenditures will eliminate blight within the Project Area.
Pursuant to Section 33490(b), the Agency shall adopt an implementation plan every five years
commencing with the fifth year after the Redevelopment Plan is adopted. Finally, Section
33490(c) provides that the Agency shall hold a public hearing to review the Redevelopment Plan
and the corresponding adopted Implementation Plan no earlier than two years, and no later than
three years, after the Implementation Plan has been adopted.
Pursuant to Section 33490(a), this Implementation Plan presents:
• Agency goals for the Project Area.
• Agency programs (including potential projects) and/or estimated expenditures
planned for the next five years.
• An explanation of how these goals, projects, and expenditures will eliminate blight in
the Project Area.
• An explanation of how these specific goals, objectives, projects, and expenditures
will implement Sections 33334.2, 33334.4, 33334.6, and 33413 of the CRL.
• Provide an explanation of how these specific goals, projects/programs, and
expenditures will implement the low and moderate income housing requirements of
the CRL by specifically including the following:
Rosenow Spevacek Group, Inc DJ~nd Bar Redevelopment Agency
May, 1947 C-1 Report to the City Council
An annual housing program for the five-year term of the Implementation Plan
that provides sufficient detail to measure performance of housing fund
requirements which must be assessed under this Implementation Plan.
2. An enumeration of the number of housing units to be rehabilitated, assisted,
price restricted, or destroyed (if any) during the term of the Redevelopment
Plan.
3. An outline of the Agency's plan for the utilization of the Low and Moderate
Income Housing Fund ("Housing Fund") including annual deposits, transfer of
funds, or accruals for special projects.
4. An identification of programs/projects that will result in the destruction of
existing affordable housing (if any), and the proposed locations for
replacement housing.
5. The Agency's Ten -Year Housing Affordability Compliance Plan as required
by Section 33413 and 33490(a)2 and 3 of the CRL.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
Section 400 of the Redevelopment Plan delineates the Agency's redevelopment goals for the
Project Area. These goals, which are listed below, were employed to formulate the overall
strategy for this Implementation Plan and will serve as a guide for the Agency's activities during
the next five years.
1. Implement the policies, goals, objectives and strategies as presented in the
General Plan for the City of Diamond Bar.
2. Eliminate and prevent the spread of conditions of blight, including but not
limited to; underutilized properties and deteriorating buildings,
incompatible and uneconomic land uses, deficient infrastructure and
facilities, obsolete structures, parking deficiencies, and other economic
deficiencies, in order to create a more favorable environment for
commercial, industrial, office, residential, and recreational development.
3. Provide opportunities for retail and other non-residential commercial and
office uses.
4. Promote the economic development of the Project Area by providing an
attractive, well -serviced, well -protected environment for all residents and
visitors.
5. Improve public facilities and public infrastructure to provide adequate
infrastructure facilities and public services.

May, 1997 C-2 Report to the City Council
6. Promote local job opportunities in the community.
7. Encourage the cooperation and participation of residents, businesses,
business persons, public agencies, and community organizations in the
economic revitalization of the Project Area.
8. Implement design and use standards to assure high aesthetic and
environmental quality, and provide unity and integrity to developments
within the Project Area.
9. Preserve and enhance the unique, open space resources in the community.
10. Provide and regulate the supply of parking to meet the needs of both
residents and commercial businesses.
11. Remove impediments to land disposition and development through the
assembly of property into reasonably sized and shaped parcels served by
improved infrastructure and public facilities.
12. Recycle and/or develop underutilized parcels to accommodate higher and
better economic uses while enhancing the City's financial resources.
13. Increase, improve, and preserve the supply of housing affordable to very
low, low and moderate income households.
BLIGHTING CONDITIONS
The purpose of establishing the Project Area is to address conditions of physical and economic
blight. Sections 33030 and 33031 of the CRL defines physical and economic blight as:
"(1) An area that is predominately urbanized, as that term is defined in Section
33320.1, and is an area in which the combination of conditions set forth in Section 33031 is so
prevalent and so substantial that it causes a reduction of, or lack of, proper utilization of an area
to such an extent that it constitutes a serious physical and economic burden on the community
which cannot reasonably be expected to be reversed or alleviated by private enterprise or
governmental action, or both, without redevelopment.
"(2) An area that is characterized by either of the following:
"(A) One or more conditions set forth in any paragraph of subdivision (a) of
Section 33031 and one or more conditions set forth in any paragraph of subdivision (b) of
Section 33031.
Rosenow Spevaeek Group, Inc Dian and Bar Redevelopment Agency
May, 1997 C-3 Report to the City Council
"(B) The condition described in paragraph (4) of subdivision (a) of Section
33031."
Section 33030(c) also states that a "blighted area also may be one that contains the conditions

FIVE-YEAR PROGRAMS AND EXPENDITURES
NONHOUSING PROGRAM
• CommerciaVlndustrial Rehabilitation Program
The Agency proposes to initiate the first phase of the Commercial/Industrial Rehabilitation
Program. Initial activities will focus on the commercial and industrial properties along the
primary commercial corridors of the Project Area, such as Diamond Bar Boulevard,
Golden Springs Drive, Grand Avenue, Lycoming Street, Lemon Street and Brea Canyon
Road, and will include: evaluating existing structures from a structural and design aspect:
conducting a "needs" assessment to identify infrastructure, circulation, and parking
deficiencies; and commissioning studies to identify both a general design theme and
specific design concepts for each property. In addition, the Agency will formulate the
program funding strategies and an implementation plan through which rehabilitation
assistance will be provided, when sufficient funds are available. The second phase of this
effort (the scope of which will be determined by funding availability) may include the
provision of property rehabilitation loans and grants and property acquisition. This
program to invest in Project Area businesses may also include improvements to business
facilities, equipment and required new technology, as permitted by law.
• Business Expansion, Attraction and Retention Program
The Agency will also implement the Business Expansion, Attraction and Retention
Program through the following activities: assessing current marketing strategies,
brochures, and other materials; coordinating with the local Chamber of Commerce and/or
trade organizations; pursuing actions identified in economic studies recently prepared for
the City, including determining the needs of the community; identifying appropriate
businesses to attract to the Project Area; and developing a successful marketing strategy to
bring these businesses to the City of Diamond Bar. This program to invest in Project Area
businesses may also include improvements to business facilities, equipment and required
new technology, as permitted by law.
• Parking Improvements Program
The Agency wishes to move towards the establishment of a Parking Improvements
Program. Project Area parking deficiencies will be identified in connection with the
Commercial/Industrial Rehabilitation Program. If funds are available, the Agency will
initiate parking improvements in identified areas.
Rosenow Spevaeek Group, Inc. Diamond Bar Redevelopment Agency
May, 1997 C-8 Report to the City Council
• Public Facilities and Infrastructure Assistance Program
The Agency proposes to initiate the first phase of the Public Facilities and Infrastructure
Assistance Program. Initial activities will focus on capital improvements. For example,
there are improvements proposed for the Diamond Bar Branch of the public library, located
within the Project Area on Grand Avenue. Other activities will include creating a priority
list of the public facilities and infrastructure improvements identified in the Redevelopment
Plan. If funds are available, the Agency may also initiate various public infrastructure
improvements pursuant to the Redevelopment Plan.
FIVE-YEAR PLAN ACTIVITIES
The Agency will fund the cost of these programs in years 1 through 5.
TIMELINE
The Agency will establish both the CommerciaHndustrW Rehabilitation Program, the
Business Expansion and Retention Program, the Parking Improvements Program and the
Public Facilities and Infrastructure Assistance Program in Year 1. The establishment of
the programs will require the expenditure of funds. However, due to the fact that no tax
increment revenues will be collected by the Agency until Year 2, the Agency will incur
costs in Year 1 without tax increment revenues to offset these costs. Such costs will be
paid by the Agency through the use of funds advanced to the Agency by the City of
Diamond Bar. Therefore, revenues collected in Year 2 will be applied first to the costs of
establishing these programs and to reimburse the City. Funds for library improvements
mentioned above will be provided in Year 1. The Agency will also prepare site plans,
develop design concepts for structures, and determine the type and scale of needed
businesses in the Project Area in Year 2. Site and architectural improvements, including,
but not limited to, property rehabilitation and/or property acquisition and economic
incentive programs will also commence. A marketing strategy for the attraction of
businesses will also be provided in Years l and 2 and will be funded by advances from the
City. In addition, funds for property owner rehabilitation assistance should be available in
Years 3, 4, and 5. Available funds will be allocated to properties within the Project Area
based on criteria determined by the Agency, such as financial need and/or level of needed
rehabilitation. The development and implementation of a specific marketing program for
targeted businesses should occur if funds are available in Year 3.

HOUSING PROGRAM
Existing land uses in the Project Area primarily include commercial and industrial uses,
with only two single-family detached residential units located within the Project Area.
These residential units suffer from deterioration and dilapidation, defective design,
substandard design and incompatible uses. The Agency will implement a housing program
to rehabilitate and improve the existing housing stock citywide. In accordance with this
housing program, the Agency will fund housing programs and projects, as prescribed in the
following manner:
• Housing Stock Evaluation/Prom= Development - The Agency will evaluate the
existing housing stock to determine those areas which may require assistance. Once
these areas are identified, the Agency will develop a housing program based on this
evaluation.
• Housina Rehabilitation - The Agency will utilize low and moderate income housing
set-aside revenues to rehabilitate the existing housing units throughout the City. This
component of the proposed housing program will include the provision of funds
through low interest loans and grants to the existing property owners.
• First -Time Home Buver Mortgage Assistance - The Agency will utilize low and
moderate set-aside revenues to provide first-time home buyers with financial
assistance. This will consist primarily of second mortgages to qualified home buyers.
FIVE-YEAR PLAN ACTIVITIES
The Agency will fund the cost of this program in Years 1 through 5.
TIMELINE
The Agency will establish the Low and Moderate Income Housing Program in Year 1.
Developing this program will involve the expenditure of funds, which will not be available
until Year 2. In Year 2, the Agency will assess the need for facilitating and funding
rehabilitation activities city-wide. It is the Agency's primary objective to provide low-
interest loans or grants to qualifying property owners for the purposes of rehabilitation.
Additionally, the Agency will provide qualified first-time home buyers with second
mortgages and implement other assistance programs in Years 2 through 5.
Low- and moderate -income housing revenues may also be used to implement Objective 3.2
of the Housing Element of the General Plan. This objective calls for the elimination of
substandard housing by the establishment of "a program to investigate and encourage the
rehabilitation of substandard housing units within Diamond Bar". This objective also sets
Rosenow Spemeek Group, Inc Diamnd Bar Redevelopment Agency
May, 1997 C-12 Report to the City Council
a goal of the "rehabilitation of 5 very low, 5 low, and 15 moderate income household".
The Agency will fund these activities as funds become available.
PLAN GOALS TO BE ACHIEVED
Completion of this program will achieve the following Redevelopment Plan goals:
• Implement the policies, goals, objectives and strategies as presented in the
General Plan of the City of Diamond Bar.
• Eliminate and prevent the spread of conditions of blight, including but not
limited to; underutilized properties and deteriorating buildings,
incompatible and uneconomic land uses, deficient infrastructure and

economic revitalization of the Project Area.
• Increase, improve, and preserve the supply of housing affordable to very
low, low and moderate income households.

HOUSING COMPLIANCE PLAN
The provisions of Section 33413(b)(4) of the CRL require the Agency to adopt and periodically
update a plan to ensure compliance with the existing criteria of Section 33413 of the CRL
regarding the affordability mix of new or rehabilitated housing units ("Housing Compliance
Plan'). The CRL further requires that this Housing Compliance Plan be prepared as part of the
implementation plan required by Section 33490 of the CRL. This Housing Compliance Plan
must be consistent with the jurisdiction's housing element and must also be reviewed and, if
necessary, amended at least every five (5) years with either the housing element cycle or the
implementation plan cycle. The housing compliance plan shall contain all of the requirements
pursuant to Section 33490 (a)(2) and (3) of the CRL.
The following discussions contain all of the required components pursuant to Section
33490(x)(2) of the CRL:
1. The amount available in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund and the
estimated amounts which will be deposited in the Low and Moderate Income
Housing Fund during each of the next five years.
As previously mentioned above in Table C, the estimated revenue which will be
deposited in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund during the next five years is
estimated to be $589,295.
2. A housing program with estimates of the number of new, rehabilitated, or price -
restricted units to be assisted during each of the five years and estimates of the
expenditures of moneys from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund during
each of the five years.
Nearly all property in the Project Area is zoned for commercial or industrial uses, with
only two residential units. These units consist of single family detached homes which are
directly adjacent to commercial and industrial properties. The Agency does not anticipate
the construction of any new residential units during the first five years of the
Redevelopment Plan because that there are limited revenues generated by the Project.
The Agency estimates that it will be able to assist in the rehabilitation of 3 to 5 units city-
wide in Years 1 through 5 of the Redevelopment Plan.
As shown above in Table C, the estimated expenditures from the Low and Moderate
Income Housing Fund is $0 in Year 1, $42,041 in Year 2, $104,615 in Year 3, $185,787
in Year 4, And $256,852 in Year 5, for a five-year total of $589,295.
Romow Spevacek Grorp, lac. Dlatnond Bar RedewJopnunt Agency
May, 1997 C-14 Report to I*e City Council
3. An estimate of the number of new, substantially rehabilitated or price -restricted
residential units to be developed or purchased within the Project Area, both over
the life of the Redevelopment Plan and during the next ten years.
As stated above, the construction of any new residential units by the Agency is not
anticipated at this time, both over the next ten years or over the life of the Redevelopment
Plan. There is a limited amount of vacant property within the Project Area zoned for
residential uses. In addition, the Agency does not anticipate the substantial rehabilitation
of residential units in the Project Area, because the cost of these activities are prohibitive
given expected revenues generated by the Project. Therefore, this requirement does not
apply.
4. An estimate of the number of units of very low, low- and moderate -income
households required to be developed within the Project Area in order to meet the
requirements of Section 33413(b)(2) of the CRL, both over the life of the
Redevelopment Plan and during the next ten years.
The total number of units which are projected to be developed either over the next ten
years and over the life of the Redevelopment Plan is 258. Pursuant to Section 33413(b)2,
15% (or 39) of these units must be available at affordable housing cost to persons or
families of low or moderate income. It is important to note that the projected number of
housing units is an estimate and, therefore, may change over the next 10 years or over the
life of the Plan. Thus, the total number of units which must be made available to
affordable cost to moderate, low, and very low income households may change
accordingly.
5. The number of units of very low, low-, and moderate -income households which have
been developed within the Project Area which meet the requirements of Section
33413(bx2) of the CRL.
Because the proposed Redevelopment Plan is in the process of being adopted and the
Project Area has not yet officially been created, this requirement does not apply.
6. An estimate of the number of Agency developed residential units which will be
developed during the next five years, if any, which will be governed by Section
33413(bxl).
The Agency does not anticipate developing any residential units during the next five
years, and any units rehabilitated with Agency assistance will house low or moderate
income households.

7. An estimate of the number of Agency developed units for very low, low-, and
moderate income households which will be developed by the Agency during the next
five years to meet the requirements of Section 33413(b)(1) of the CRL.
The Agency does not anticipate developing any residential units during the next five
years. Therefore, the requirements of this section do not apply to the Project.
The following discussion contains the required components pursuant to Section 33490(a)(3) of
the CRL:
Pursuant to Section 33490(a)(3) of the CRL, if the Implementation Plan contains a project that
will result in the destruction or removal of dwelling units that will have to be replaced pursuant
to Section 33413(a) of the CRL, the Implementation Plan shall identify proposed locations
suitable for those replacement dwelling units.
The requirements of this section do not apply to the Project, as this Implementation Plan does not
propose any projects that will result in the destruction or removal of dwelling units. However, in
the event that this occurs, the Agency will comply with the requirements of Section 33413(a) of
the CRL.
AGENCY MEANS TO ACCOMPLISH REQUIREMENTS
The Agency intends to use revenue in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund and any
other appropriate funds available including, but not limited to, the Department of Housing and
Urban Development funds and Community Development Block Grants, and rental subsidies
through the Section 8 program. Low income housing tax credits and tax exempt financing
mechanisms may also be used by the Agency. Policies and programs such as providing
affordable housing incentives for developers, permitting manufactured housing, and inclusionary
housing programs will be explored by the Agency. The Agency will also provide rehabilitation
loans and grants.
GENERAL PLAN COMPLIANCE
This Housing Compliance Plan, like the Housing Element in the City's General Plan, focuses on
providing suitable housing for City residents including lower income households and has been
prepared according to guidelines established in the programs and goals outlined in the Housing
Element of the General Plan.

DIAMOND BAR
ECONOMIC REVITALIZATION AREA
HOW DOES THE ECONOMIC REVITALIZATION AREA AFFECT FIRE
SERVICES FUNDING?
DIAMOND BAR IS A PART OF THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY
CONSOLIDATED FIRE DISTRICT. FIRE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY
THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT. THERE ARE THREE
(3) FIRE STATIONS LOCATED IN DIAMOND BAR (NOS. 119,120,121). THE
CITY IS PROTECTED BY THREE (3) ENGINE COMPANIES AND A
PARAMEDIC SQUAD. THERE ARE TWELVE (12) FIREFIGHTERS ON
DUTY EACH DAY.
THE ANNUAL COST FOR FIRE PROTECTION IN DIAMOND BAR IS
ESTIMATED TO BE $5,960,892. ANNUAL REVENUES GENERATED
FROM WITHIN THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR ARE AN ESTIMATED
$7,030,586. THIS MEANS THAT DIAMOND BAR IS A DONOR CITY BY AN
AMOUNT ESTIMATED TO BE $1,069,694. DIAMOND BAR HAS BEEN
GENERATING MORE REVENUE THAN HAS BEEN EXPENDED FOR FIRE
SERVICES, FOR MANY YEARS. REDEVELOPMENT DOES NOT AFFECT
THE AFOREMENTIONED REVENUES. THESE REVENUES ARE BASE
YEAR AMOUNTS.
THE ECONOMIC REVITALIZATION AREA PROPERTY VALUATION IS
10.53% OF THE TOTAL PROPERTY VALUATION FOR ALL DIAMOND BAR
PROPERTY ($387,018,867 DIVIDED BY $3,676,126,836= 10.53%). THIS
MEANS THAT 89.47% OF THE PROPERTY VALUATION FROM WHICH

SECTION E
METHOD OF FINANCING AND ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY
OF THE PROJECT
The following changes are required by the deletion of the identified properties:
The changes required by the deletion of properties reflect a reduction in the base year secured
value of $1,592,844 attributable to the identified properties, and the loss of future tax
increment that may have occurred with the redevelopment of the same properties. The
following tables in the Report to the City Council have been revised; Table E-1 by Revised E-
1, Table E-2 by Revised R-2, Table E-3 by Revised E-3, and Table E-4 by Revised E-4.
REVISED ASSESSMENT OF THE ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF THE PROJECT
A list of the currently identified proposed redevelopment projects is presented in Table A-1 of
this Report. The total proposed project costs to be paid by the Agency are estimated to be
approximately $ 180.6 million, including administrative costs. In order to adequately assess
the economic feasibility of the Project, the total proposed program/project costs have been
compared with the tax increment calculations shown on Revised Table E-1. The project
feasibility analysis presented on Revised Table E-3 indicates that approximately $404.5
million of tax increment will be generated by the Project. Of this amount, approximately
81 million is required to be set aside for low and moderate income housing and 140
million must be allocated to the statutory pass-through payments to affected taxing agency
pursuant to Section 33607.5 of the CRL. The remaining $183 million will be available to pay
for Agency projects, which leaves $2 million of excess revenue. This revenue will provide a
hedge against cost inflation which will likely occur during the time frame for implementing
projects.
As stated above, Revised Table E-1 indicates that the Housing Fund is projected to receive
approximately $81 million over the life of the Plan. The Agency intends to use these funds
citywide to improve and expand low and moderate income housing opportunities.
