CITY COUNCIL STUDY SESSION E) R AFT
OCTOBER 16, 2007
STUDY SESSION: M/Tye called the Study Session to order at 5:16 p.m.
in Room CC -8 of the South Coast Air Quality Management District/Government Center,
21865 Copley Dr., Diamond Bar, CA.
Present: Council Members Everett, Herrera, MPT/Tanaka and
Mayor Tye.
Absent: Council Member Chang was excused.
Staff Present: James DeStefano, City Manager; David Doyle,
Assistant City Manager; Michael Jenkins, City Attorney; Bob Rose, Community Services
Director; David Liu, Public Works Director; Nancy Fong, Community Development
Director; Linda Magnuson, Finance Director; Ryan McLean, Senior Management
Analyst; Rick Yee, Senior Engineer; Isaac Aziz, Network/GIS Engineer; Kimberly
Molina, Associate Engineer and Tommye Cribbins, City Clerk.
No. BUSINESS LICENSING
CA/Jenkins stated that the purpose of the ordinance was to continue the City's
Business Registration program with a "regulatory ordinance" and not a "revenue -
raising" ordinance. The only differences are that instead of a business
registration, businesses would acquire a business license and continue paying
either $10 or $53 representing an amount close to cost -recovery for the City.
The ordinance would replace all of the work that Los Angeles County currently
provides to the City in the area of business regulation. The ordinance focuses on
14 specific types of businesses that would require a more extensive background
review. The ordinance further provides for procedures by which
individuals/businesses will apply for business licenses, how the City will review
the application and provides procedures for granting or denying the license and
the basis upon which the City may deny an application as well as, the appeal
process for someone who may be aggrieved by the decision. The Community
Development Director will make the initial determination on the 14 businesses
and the City Council will serve as the appellate body. This ordinance is
business -friendly and puts control of the approval process in the hands of the
City rather than the County. The fees will be substantially less than those
currently imposed by the County.
C/Herrera said she has difficulty proposing an increase of the "business
registration" fee from $10 to $53 for a business permit. She wondered if the
renewal fee could be increased.
CA/Jenkins responded that when there is a business -owner change, the new
owner would have to pay the initial background check fee. The renewal
presumes there has been no change in ownership or business. Staff perceives
OCTOBER 16, 2007 PAGE 2 CC STUDY SESSION
renewals to be an administrative action if the business is not presenting a
problem and there is no code enforcement issue. A change in ownership or
problems with the business would require a hearing and determination of any fee
change.
C/Herrera asked if staff proposes for the Council to take a single action,
CDD/Fong responded yes, that the business registration would be appealed and
substituted with the Business License Ordinance. Approximately 600 to 700
businesses have been registered. Staff is continuing to find other businesses to
register and eventually all businesses should be licensed.
CDD/Fong responded to C/Everett that the ordinance allows the City to cover the
cost of enforcement.
CA/Jenkins explained that the proposed fees cover only the cost of the
paperwork and issuing of the permit.
C/Everett reiterated his concern that the fee should pay for the process.
CDD/Fong said there were two kinds of fees — 1) paper processing resulting in
the issuance of a permit. Staff has been doing this process for about two years
and the process takes about half an hour; and 2) for the 14 businesses that
require background checks more staff time is required and the fees are set
accordingly. The $300 fee is comprised of the LA County Sheriff's charge for the
per -person background check plus staff time. For example, if the business
requires the manager and owner to have a background check the charge is $300
per person.
M/Tye asked how the City would charge for new employees.
CA/Jenkins explained that the background check is required for owners and
managers only.
M/Tye wanted to know how to separate business registration from business
licensing.
CA/Jenkins said that staff intended to present the Council with two action items;
1) Introduction of an ordinance that would include the existing business
registration program and business licensing into one. It would repeal the existing
provisions regarding business registration and repeal the entirety of the code that
referred to the County Code; 2) a resolution to adopt fees described in the chart
to continue the fee for simple businesses at $10, $53.50 or any other amount
including zero. When the Council adopts the ordinance it adopts the idea that
business registration is appropriate and that the City should continue doing so to
monitor home-based businesses. The Council can select whatever fee it wishes.
The only question is the fee for basic licensing.
OCTOBER 16, 2007 PAGE 3 CC STUDY SESSION
ACM/Doyle explained that with adoption of the new ordinance business licensing
would replace the business registration process.
ACM/Doyle explained that the $53.50 recovery cost was brought to the Council
because staff thought that is what the Council wanted.
CA/Jenkins said that business registration and business licensing for home-
based businesses is the same thing.
CM/DeStefano stated that the City is attempting to gain local control over the
business licensing process that it currently contracts with LA County, in order to
do away with a costly and cumbersome procedure that in some ways provides no
direct benefit to businesses in D,B. This item allows the Council to approve the
policy change and the ability to improve the cost recovery for the service. Staff is
strongly suggesting that at a minimum the Council approve the policy change.
Then Council could discuss the appropriateness of a full cost recovery fee versus
any other fee level.
ACM/Doyle stated that if the City were doing a full cost recovery for business
registration the fee would have been set at $53.50 from the beginning. However,
Council made a decision not to recover the full cost.
M/Tye said he did not want home-based businesses to pay for either business
registration or business licensing. He does not believe that home-based
businesses should ever be subject to any kind of registration and licensing.
CA/Jenkins said that if the Council does not want home-based businesses
licensed at all the ordinance would have to be changed because this ordinance
carries forward the current business registration program.
C/Herrera agreed with M/Tye that home-based business registration should be
excluded and that the City should license only the 14 businesses that have to go
to Los Angeles for licensing.
C/Everett stated that he felt business registration would be beneficial.
CM/DeStefano reiterated the reasons Council and staff discussed business
registration - to post information about the business on the City's website; to
make sure that D.B. was getting its fair share of sales tax resources and for other
monitoring reasons. If Council has a concern about the fee it can choose to
apply the same fee that is currently being charged. The City has been
subsidizing that portion of the development services for the past two years. Staff
is suggesting the $53,50 because Council asked staff to look at full cost
recovery, which has been the policy in other development services arenas. From
staff's perspective it is important to maintain some level of business registration.
Staff needs to know what businesses are in the City in order to help grow their
OCTOBER 16, 2007 PAGE 4 CC STUDY SESSION
resources and make sure the City is getting its fair -share of the taxation
attributable to these businesses.
MPT/Tanaka felt business registration was important.
C/Everett said he was in favor of the ordinance as presented without
consideration to fees.
CA/Jenkins said that staff would present the ordinance as written with a basic
license fee of $10. If there are Council Members
" that would like to get rid of the
registration" component they can make a motion accordingly.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: Jerry Hamilton felt the City needed business licensing
and that it is important that the residents know what was going on in their community.
ON. ROUTE 57/60 PROJECT UPDATE
Steve Brown updated Council on the proposed projects. The MTA is seeking the
City's input on which alternatives should be subject to further detailed studies. He
again explained the six major alternatives and their possible benefits and
drawbacks and asked for the Council's support for the three preferred options
and request further study.
MPT/Tanaka felt the most important aspect was the missing connector.
PWD/Liu responded to C/Herrera that D.B. staff, consultants, Industry staff and
Caltrans were involved in the selection of the three alternatives and the request
for further study.
C/Herrera asked at what point the team would consider elevating the 57/60
improvements as a goods movement corridor with respect to seeking State
funding?
Mr. Brown responded that as soon as there is consensus for a well-defined
alternative it would be the time to hit hard for the money and support.
PWD/Liu stated that this is one of the clearly defined tasks that the team will
embark upon once there is consensus.
M/Tye asked the team to move forward and said that D.B. was not interested in a
truck route through the City.
► GRAND AVENUE PROJECT
Steve Brown updated Council on options the team has been working on to refine
the Grand Avenue Project with the hope of not impacting properties along
OCTOBER 16, 2007 PAGE 5 CC STUDY SESSION
Grand Avenue south of Golden Springs Drive.
Mr. Brown responded to Commissioner Lin that the MTA suggests between 700
and 1000 vehicles per hour want to move on Diamond Bar Blvd. between the two
interchanges.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: None Offered.

technology that a City can receive.
2.3 CSD/Rose gave a PowerPoint presentation on the Re -Dedication of the
Lorbeer Middle School Sports Field held Monday, October 8. The project
was completed on time and under budget.
OCTOBER 16, 2007 PAGE 3 CITY COUNCIL
C/Herrera said that some individuals asked her why the City would expend
funds on a school that did not belong to the City. She asked CSD/Rose to
explain what benefit the City derives from this project.
CSD/Rose responded that the project was the culmination of an effort
initiated through a Sports Task Force that considered recreational sports
needs for the youth in the community. To create a complex would have cost
a considerable amount. In fact, just to grade a City owned parcel for a sports
complex would have cost the City millions of dollars because of the hilly
terrain. As a result, the Task Force and staff looked to cooperate with the
School Districts to meet the needs and Lorbeer Middle School presented a
comparable opportunity. When the City installed lights at the facility it
increased the use of the facility to an extent well beyond what the typical
middle school maintenance budget could handle. Staff, Council and School
Administrators agreed that the investment to bring the facility back to the
prior level of quality and additional use seemed like a reasonable investment.
As a result, the City has availed a state -of -the art facility from which
thousands of kids will benefit without the high cost of building a new facility.
M/Tye said it was music to his ears that this project came in on time and
under budget. Kudos to CSD/Rose and staff.
3. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Jerry Hamilton encouraged individuals to read
their election booklets and know what they were voting for. He felt that bond issues
were another way of imposing taxes.
Lydia Plunk pointed out how far the City had come since city hood. How many
improvements had been made to programs and facilities and how former and the
present City Council has amassed a sizeable emergency reserve for which she
thanked the City. Cooperation with the School District took years and years of
consensus building and cooperation and she thanked the City. 14,000 trees in the
public right-of-way that bloom at different times of the year and in the years to come
will be even more beautiful and for that she thanked the staff and City Council. D.B.
has two community centers it did not have when it was a part of the County. There
are things that the residents would like to have but the City has much to be thankful
for in the form of amenities and cash reserves.
Lu Zheng spoke about the Aera and golf course projects, two dangerous projects
that in his opinion, the residents oppose.
Eileen Ansari said it was a privilege for her to be able to speak out and vote in every
election. Last Tuesday she attended a candidate forum during which only three
individuals appeared and this is the only forum that has taken place in the City of
D.B. She was appalled that the City had no forum for candidates. She stated that
building was a privilege and not a right and wanted the Council to be more forthright
on what was coming. People have a right to know and a right to expect Council
Members to be upfront about what is happening. She congratulated staff for the
Lorbeer project.
OCTOBER 16, 2007 PAGE 4 CITY COUNCIL
Nef Cortez complimented the City and City Council on the manner in which
information is distributed. There is no question that the City Council Members have
his complete trust in their ability to lead and make informed decisions and to seek
essential informatlon for making decisions that represent the best interests of the
community.
Allen Wilson said there had been many positive changes in the City and he was
happy to call D.B. his home. It is everyone's right to cast his ballot for City Council
candidates. He said there was a vast difference in candidates and what they stand
for and he was not willing to exchange an inexperienced novice campaigner for an
experienced Council Member,
Jack Shah wantedi a clean election without candidates belittling other candidates.
Perhaps the candidates who were not at the forum were not invited. He
recommended that the residents make sure the City grows. No one wants to hurt
this City. He hoped the community members would address issues with full
knowledge rather than throw out half-truths.
Al Rumpilla spoke about Dial -A -Ride services and commended Council for keeping
the cost of a ride to a medical facility to $1.50 per one-way trip. He has taken the
cab to Loma Linda; and Los Angeles and is currently being treated by a doctor in
Pasadena. Each Of the round trips has cost him a total of $3.00.
Helen Doss, a 36 -year resident asked the Council to provide an update on the golf
course.
4. RESPONSE TO PUBLIC COMMENTS: C/Herrera felt it was important
to clarify information and asked CM/DeStefano to place an item on the next City
Council agenda that would formally remove from the Council's Goals and Objectives
list the item relating to the golf course development. The City needs to make it
perfectly clear to residents that the proposed project is dead and that the City is not
pursuing any effort to develop or swap the golf course property. She has listened to
the community concerns and has had concerns of her own and does not support
any development of the golf course. She said she believed the City owed its
residents a clear and unequivocal statement on this issue.
M/Tye asked CM/CDeStefano to please place the item on a future agenda and
address the speaker's question about why a pre -annexation agreement was
approved, an item that the Council has effectively dealt with over the last 10
months. He thanked Mr. Rumpilla for making the phone call to Councilman Everett
to help speed up the service.
CM/DeStefano responded to a speaker that Aera Energy is the owner of almost all
of the vacant land between the southerly terminus of D.B.'s municipal boundary and
the boundary of the City of Brea. Aera is looking at a development and investment
upon the property. Aera approached D.B. about whether it was interested in
reviewing a proposall for development of the acreage. Prior to Aera Energy
OCTOBER 16, 2007 PAGE 5 CITY COUNCIL
spending millions of dollars to prepare all of the documentation to process such a
project through the City of D.B., Aera asked if D.B. would look at the proposal, the
discussion of which grew into a pre -annexation agreement that set forth a roadmap
for review of their proposal. Contained within the pre -annexation agreement which
was approved unanimously by the then City Council in December 2006 speaks to
D.B.'s interest in looking at the project and does not guarantee any approval
whatsoever within the document. A few months later Aera presented its proposal to
the City and an Environmental Impact Report writing consultant was employed by
D.B, to look specifically at the environmental documentation. The EIR process is a
protracted proces$. There are a variety of issues including a traffic study and
environmental studies. The developer is paying the City of D.B. for the services that
the City is employing to look at the project and in particular the environmental issues
associated with the project. The City does not expect the EIR to be done for several
more months. Depending on the comments and timeline to respond staff believes
that the document will not be ready for any kind of decision-making until well into
2008. Why would the developer be interested in forming a pre -annexation
agreement with D.B.? Prior to expending the enormous resources that would be
required to process such a project the developer wanted to know if D.B. would be
interested. D.B. responded that it would look at the project and would at the same
time preserve all of its rights through the public hearing process in order to make an
appropriate decision when all information is available.
M/Tye asked CM/DeStefano to elaborate on the reason for the pre -annexation
agreement.
CM/DeStefano stated that the project proposed by landowner Aera Energy
incorporates property within Orange County, property immediately adjacent to the
City of Brea, property adjacent to the City of D.B., some of which is in the City's
future incorporatedboundary as determined by a sphere of influence study several
years ago and some of which is outside of the City's current boundaries and a
sphere of influence in Los Angeles which Rowland Heights believes should be a
portion of their City. Some of the acreage is adjacent to the City of LaHabra Heights
and to the City of LaHabra. The project is of such magnitude that there are
significant roadwaysegments; a variety of issues with respect to utilities; delivery of
infrastructure services from water agencies and other utility agencies that surround
the property. It is a very complex project and all of the issues related to construction
and delivery of services and whether the project should be approved and
constructed with residences and business operations. A scope of this magnitude
has never been seen by D.B. and likely the scope that none of the other
surrounding cities have seen. If this project moves forward it will require decisions
by a variety of governmental entities that go well beyond the City of D.B. This
project will require several years to draw to any conclusion. Presuming those
conclusions were favorable to the developer only then would construction
commence and incorporate all of the issues that all of the decision -makers added
during years of review. There is no current public discussion because there are no
documents to present to the public.

9. COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS/COUNCIL MEMBER COMMENTS:
C/Everett thanked Icitizens for their public comments. He encouraged all residents
to vote responsibly. He congratulated CSD/Rose and the TEAM; from staff and
Pomona School District for culmination of the Lorbeer Middle School joint project.
He also congratulated CC/Cribbins for being selected by her peers to receive the
first ever employee "Award of Excellence" and congratulated IS Director/Desforges
on his recognitions, This afternoon he and C/Herrera attended the Public Affairs
Network and Valle Economic Partnership meeting to hear speaker Steve Poisner,
California Insurance Commissioner speak about his pursuit of issues including
insurance fraud, u6insured motorists and workers' compensation. He spoke about
"sustainability" asp6cts as they relate to the community and its residents.
C/Herrera said she and CDD/Fong also attended the Sustainability Workshop,
which offered a new way of thinking for communities. There is not a lot of
opportunity for development in D.B. However, it would, in her opinion, be prudent
for the City to consider this methodology and perhaps consult with experts that are
building big communities. She asked that C/Everett and CDD/Fong make a
presentation during a future City Council meeting for better understanding and
insight. The Lorbeer Middle School field rededication was an important event for
the City. Thanks to'Andrew Wong and other Pomona School Board Members who
agreed to improve the campus for the use and safety of the children. Several years
ago the Southern (California Association of Governments (SCAG) developed a
regional transportation plan (RTP). SCAG has jurisdiction over the planning for six
counties in Southern California and determined that the SR60 should have
dedicated truck lanes. At that time she contacted representatives from Walnut,
Industry, Rowland Heights and Hacienda Heights, all of whom lobbied to consider
other freeways for ttuck traffic and discuss an east -west corridor that would include
analysis of the 91, 210 and 10 freeways. SCAG modified its plans and removed the
SR60 from the document. However, that idea seems to have again resurfaced and
SCAG is again studying the possibility. She wanted to reassure residents that she
will not let this happen and will marshal everyone she can get to lobby against such
a proposal because' it would, in her opinion, be very detrimental to have dedicated
truck lanes on the SIR60. She urged everyone to vote on November 6. This is the
residents' community and what happens in the future is critical to D.B.
MPT/Tanaka attended two ribbon -cutting ceremonies hosted by the East San
Gabriel Valley Chamber of Commerce; he congratulated CSD/Rose and staff for
persevering on the Lorbeer Middle School track and field improvements. He
attended the LA County Fair D.B. committee meeting. LA County Fair will host
another D.B. Day at the Fair next year and welcomes input on ways that the event
can be approved. He urged everyone to vote on November 6 and exercise this very
OCTOBER 16, 2007 PAGE 9 CITY COUNCIL
important right.
M/Tye said that a speaker talked about the early endorsement of D.B. candidates.
Residents have the opportunity to vote and it is a privilege enjoyed by all citizens of
the U.S. He encouraged everyone to get the facts by going to the source. A
reference was made to a candidate forum and that particular forum was by invitation
only and not opera to the public, which he felt did little to foster the exchange of
ideas and information. M/Tye welcomed calls for information or questions at 839-
7006 and said he would do his best to get back to the callers as promptly as
possible. Residents can reach any of the Council Members at 839-7000 or via the
Internet. He encouraged everyone to take advantage of all of the opportunities that
the City makes available. Mei Lien Chang, wife of Council Member Wen Chang, is
being honored this evening by the Taiwanese Government as one of the top 10
global business Women and C/Chang took leave from his Council duties this
evening to honor her. M/Tye said he took part in the 6th Annual Mayor's Cup Race
in Irwindale. He congratulated CC/ Cribbins on her Award of Excellence and being
the longest tenured City employee. He also congratulated IS/Director/Desforges
and Mei Lien Chang on their honors.
ADJOURNMENT: With no further business to conduct, M/Tye adjourned the regular City

PC/Meyer announced that the applicant had not arrived yet. Chair/Nelson
sought comments from the Commission and suggested that the Commission
move Item 7.1 to after the next public hearing until the applicant arrived.
Although VC/Torng agreed, he commented that if the applicant did not
appear, the Commission should take appropriate action to make a decision
on the project with or without the applicant's presence. The matter was
moved to after the next project.
The applicant on 7.1 walked in at this time. Chair/Nelson announced
returning to Item 7.1 as presented.
PC/Meyer presented staff s report and recommended Planning Commission
approval of Development Review No. 2007-08 and denial of Variance
No. 2007-06, Findings of Fact, and conditions of approval as listed within the
resolution.
SEPTEMBER 11, 2007 PAGE 3 PLANNING COMMISSION
At the request of Chair/Nelson, ACA/ Kovacevich explained how the
Commission is to view the City requirements and codes versus Homeowners
Associations.. He stated that the City simply does not enforce Homeowners'
Association covenants, only the City's codes and HOA enforcement is a
matter of privrate enforcement between the association and its individual
members. Chair/Nelson emphasized that the Commission is not
encumbered'by private CC&Rs when making a decision.
There were no ex parte disclosures.
Chair/Nelson re -opened the public hearing.
Amant Tjuden, TBA Architects, representing the client, thanked PC/Meyer for
his excellent' report. He explained that the intent of the Variance request was
to avoid elevating the building pad, thus, minimize the need to import soil to
the site. He understood that the planning ordinances superseded the HOA
requirements. However, the HOA has stringent requirements that do not
allow the retaining walls within the setback area. Rather than raise the two-
story home the intent was to reduce the massive appearance from the street
and install trees to screen the driveway area.
VC/Torng asked if the 3 -foot increase would exceed the maximum
requirement and CDD/Fong said it would not because the dwelling would be
measured from the finished grade and would remain within the 35 feet height
limit. Mr. TJuden responded to VC/Torng that the applicant hoped to have
the three d iveways because the home was set back on the pad to create
more of an gestate" look. The driveway that extends to the basement is off to
the side and not as obvious as the primary driveway. The front fountain area
is designed', to soften the turf area. Mr. Tjuden further stated that he would
prefer to go. with staff's recommendation to install the 3 -foot retaining wall at
the property line but the HOA was not granting that option.
Mr. Tjudenresponded to C/Lee that the floor plate was 6300 square feet
including the garage. C/Lee wondered how many cubic yards of soil would
be imported to raise the building and said he felt it would not take much soil.
Mr. Tejudan explained that raising the building also has impact on the site as
the property descends toward the back of the structure and property over 60
vertical feet. Therefore, the project would actually work against the grade if
the applicant were to raise the home by three feet.
SEPTEMBER 11, 2007 PAGE 4 PLANNING COMMISSION
C/Lee said his question was as a contractor, if the ground level was 6,000
square foot would it be that difficult to import 600 cubic yards of soil to raise
the building.
Jerry Yeh, contractor, 20770 Greenside, Walnut, said that the cost of
importing 600 cubic yards of soil is about $6 per yard. In addition, another
issue is the grade on the back of the house. If the house were raised the
retaining wall would by necessity become larger. The property had already
been graded when the owner purchased the property and the project is
intended to utilize the existing topography. The previous owner actually cut
out a big hole where the house sits because of the adverse geological
conditions that existed. So the applicant has to deal with minimizing the wall
and the line restrictions. There is only so much that can be done to push the
residual line back. Under those circumstances it seemed that having a wall
on the back would not be as aesthetically pleasing aq ayvall by the garage
that would be viewable only to the property owner.
C/Lee said it seemed to him that the retaining wall would be unstable and to
raise it three feet would be simple. Mr. Tjuden said that based on his
experience, an 11 -foot wall in the proposed area would be much less
problematic and would maintain the integrity of the home. If the home were
raised it would take a number of steps to get up to that elevation and that
starts to impede on the driveway area. It is not the applicant's desire to
create that additional three feet to the podium. It is not just a matter of
raising the grade because the grade would have to be kept low in order to
access the area without the 11 -foot retaining wall. The area of retaining
above 8 feet would be much less obtrusive for access to the garage.
C/Lee asked for staffs response to the applicant's comments. CDD/Fong
stated that staffs report refers to the use of several techniques, which could
include raising the house pad, raising the percentage of the grade for the
driveway in order to take up the steepness of the grade and to reduce the
retaining wall to eight feet. Another example, the swimming pool should be
oriented parallel to the contour of the property rather than perpendicular,
which would require less grading. The applicant has not considered that
possibility. This is a vacant lot and the applicant should be able to design a
house that fits the lot. If the applicant has to use retaining walls, it should be
within six feet high. Sometimes the City may consider a minor variance to
allow an increase from six feet to eight feet. The applicant must meet the
City's requirement as well as the Association's CC&Rs which the City does
not enforce.
SEPTEMBER 11, 2007 PAGE 5 PLANNING COMMISSION
Eugene Lin,', 1606 Derringer Lane (adjacent to the proposed project),
acknowledged that at the time the previous owner completed the grading the
City did not roquire formal notice, only that the neighbors be notified. When
the grading was done it changed the direction of the drainage from the
property toward his parent's property. In 2000, the City said there was
nothing that could be done at that point. Last Friday he sent letters to the
City, Homeowners Association and the project homeowners. Last Thursday
he met with ODD/Fong about the project. He said he was concerned that if
the grading was not properly done it might not be safe to build such a
massive structure in a restricted zone.
CDD/Fong desponded to the speaker that the applicant was proposing a
large home on a piece of land and a large portion of the proposed structure
is within the restricted use area. It is up to the property owner and the
engineer to demonstrate that the restricted use area can be eliminated. The
certified information would have to be submitted to the City and the City
would not issue any permits unless it was certain that the restricted use had
been eliminated.
Chair/Nelson asked CDD/Fong to explain what the restricted use includes
and why it is a restricted use and how the City re -designates such areas.
CDD/Fong stated that the restricted use definition is if the site is within an
area that has a huge slope and some of the slope areas are not stable.
Those areas are designated "restricted use" areas and habitable structures
may not be 'built within restricted use areas.
Chair/Nelson stated that geotechnical instability that can be re -delineated
based on site-specific studies or remedial actions, which will stabilize the
area would be the only conditions that would allow a house to be built in that
area and that ultimate decision is made by a third party geotechnical
engineer that the City hires. The answer is that the City would not allow a
house to be built in the restricted area unless the City had a third -party
independent assessment indicating it was feasible because it had been
rendered safe either by site-specific studies or some remedial actions.
CDD/Fong assured Mr. Lin that the details of this project are public
information and Chair/Nelson said that if Mr. Lin and his parents had difficulty
with any action on the site he should communicate his concerns with the
applicant. If there are mudslides on Mr. Lin's property originating from the
project site the first contact should be with the property owner.
SEPTEMBER 11, 2007 PAGE 6 PLANNING COMMISSION
Mr. Lin presented staff with a copy of a letter he originated.
Mr. Yeh responded to Chair/Nelson that the applicant would fully cooperate
with the neighbor. The reports available to the applicant through the City
indicate that the previous owner completed the necessary geological work
but that the approval had expired since the applicant purchased the property.
The applicant hired the same geologist to update and review the report that
was approved by the City four months ago.
Mr. Tjuden explained that the new grading plan would not create drain or
cross -drain onto the adjacent property and that he would explain the
proposed grading plan to Mr. Lin.
Chair/Nelson closed the public hearing.
PC/Meyer showed the drawing that staff used to indicate the wall could be
reduced to 8 feet and that a 3 -foot high retaining wall could be built at the
designated location to comply with the City's standards and allow for a five-
foot high garden wall to be built atop it at the property line.
VC/Torng asked PC/Meyer's opinion of the driveway and fountain
configuration and PC/Meyer said that as the City's staff member, all he does
is review the plans for compliance with the City's standards as written in the
City's Code. The way the driveway condition is written it allows a residential
dwelling unit to have one driveway unless it has a frontage of 70 feet at
which point two driveways would be allowed. This is a good standard in the
normal 8,000 to 20,000 square footage lots in normal residential tracts. Staff
is indicating that perhaps that standard is not applicable to an "estate"
development in a homeowner association area. Staff is responding to code
requirements and it is up to the Commission to render its judgment as to
whether deviation from that standard is acceptable and appropriate forthis
lot.
CDD/Fong emphasized that the variance was a policy decision for the
Commission. If the Commission considers this variance it will set a
precedent for "The Country Estates" as well as the City because the City has
heretofore not allowed three driveways on the same street frontage.
C/Nolan asked if the three-foot and eight -foot plan would work and
CDD/Fong responded affirmatively.
SEPTEMBER 11, 2007 PAGE 7 PLANNING COMMISSION
Chair/Nelson asked the intent of restricting the height of retaining walls in the
City's Development Code. PC/Meyer said that he was not available during
the development of the Code. However, a six-foot high retaining wall is a
common standard throughout Los Angeles County. CDD/Fong said she
believed the intent was a combination of safety, aesthetics, etc. Certainly
cities do not want to see 20 -foot high retaining walls, rather that retaining
walls are tefraced and that is why the Hillside Ordinance calls for terracing
techniques for retaining walls. At the same time, the terracing technique
provides more stability for the cut of the slope. Six-foot retaining walls are
fairly standard in hillside areas. The City's code allows some flexibility for
increases from six to eight feet with a Minor Variance. In this instance it is
not a retaining wall, it is a cut for the driveway to get to the garage area. The
reason the City has Minor Variances is to accommodate minor adjustments.
Higher retaining walls would be subject to the public hearing process and
Planning Commission review.
Chair/Nelson said this cut would not be visible to anyone that was not on the
driveway. CDD/Fong agreed. In addition, Chair/Nelson said he was more
inclined to go with the adoption of the three and eight versus raising the pad
because of the traffic on "The Country Estates" streets that would be
necessary to import the fill. Streets in that area do not easily accommodate
heavy trucks. PC/Meyer explained to Chair/Nelson that the applicant was
proposing turf block on the vehicular access area around the fountain.
Chair/Nelson asked if the curbs in "The Country Estates" were rolled curbs
and PC/Meyer and CDD/Fong responded affirmatively.
C/Wei offered that if the applicant eliminated the so-called fence at the front
and used the same material for the entire driveway with the fountain in the
middle it would reduce the two driveways to one and there would be a
second driveway down to the basement garage. This scenario would fulfill
the code requirement. He explained his proposal using the graphic.
C/Lee moved, C/Wei seconded to approve Development Review
No. 2007-08 and Variance No. 2007-06, Findings of Fact, and conditions of
approval as listed within the resolution as amended by staff. Motion carried

Tract Map No. 64881, Conditional Use Permit No. 2007-10 and
Development Review No. 2006-11— In accordance with Development Code
Sections 22.70, 2232 and 22.48, Subdivision Map Act, and Title 21 — City's
Subdivision Ordinance, the applicant requested approval to demolish an
existing mini -mart with a drive-through and construct a detached nine -unit
residential condominium project. The- proposed condominiums would be
two-story with garage parking below the first floor. The unit sizes range from
approximately 1,649 to 1,904 square feet. Each unit has a two -car garage,
guest parking and patio area. The project's development requires the
following discretionary approvals: A Zone Change to change the existing
zoning from Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) to Residential High Density -
Planned Development (RH-PD) for General Plan compliance; Tentative Tract
Map to create a common -interest subdivision on 0.62 acres for the
construction of nine residential condominium units; Conditional Use Permit to
use the Planned Development designation and modify the required setbacks;
and, Development Review to evaluate the architecture and site design of the
project.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2007 PAGE 9 PLANNING COMMISSION
C/Lee asked if the City had an ordinance for common open space and
AssocP/Lungu responded thatthe minimum required landscaping required is
15 percent with 24 percent provided for this project. CDD/Fong said the
City's Development Code had no requirement for common open
spacelrecreation areas for condominium or apartment projects other than the
landscaping and general open space. AssocP/Lungu responded that guest
parking requirements for attached condominiums is .5 spaces per bedroom.
However, these units are detached and each unit has its own guest parking
and the Code does not address guest parking for detached condominium
units. Staff found that one guest parking space and the two -car garage
spaces for each unit were appropriate for this project. CDD/Fong indicated to
C/Lee that the project requires two parking spaces and in this case the
project exceeds the City's minimum requirement. C/Lee said that a lot of
green area would be eliminated and the project appeared to be too crowded.
VC/Torng wondered why there was no main entrance with guest parking
because there was no parking on Golden Springs Drive. Also, should the
City put up a "no parking" sign on Golden Springs Drive? CDD/Fong said the
City could look into the matter. However, there was no issue at this time and
she did not believe residents would park on the street. VC/Torng wondered
why there was no wall proposed in front of the complex to mitigate the traffic
noise. CDD/Fong responded that according to the Code the construction
would have to mitigate the interior noise level. VC/Torng wanted to know
why there was no HOA and gate. CDD/Fong said she believed there would
be CC&Rs and an HOA and whether or not the community is gated is up to
the developer. AssocP/Lungu explained to VC/Torng thatthe HOA condition
is contained in the resolution. The walls in the 20 -foot setback are lower
walls. VC/Torng said he thought there would be a greater traffic impact to
the major streets such as Grand Avenue and Diamond Bar Boulevard.
AssocP/Lungu said the reason was that this project would create
considerably fewer trips than the current use. VC/Torng said the study
should indicate "no significant impact but it is weird that there is no study.
AssocP/Lungu referred VC/Torng to the Negative Declaration that stated
there were insignificant traffic impacts resulting from this project. His
concern is that the report relates only to the area of the condos but should
take in consideration all of Diamond Bar. CDD/Fong stated that based on the
applicant's traffic study the engineer determined that the threshold of
significance was less than the requirement to conduct additional studies
beyond the project site. VC/Torng said he understood but that it should be
mentioned because this project is an impact to Diamond Bar not just to this
small area. VC/Torng said if there was a major impact this project should
SEPTEMBER 11, 2007 PAGE 10 PLANNING COMMISSION
pay some kind of fee to leverage the traffic impacts. CDD/Fong reiterated
that the traffic study determined that the project did not exceed the threshold
for consideration of any traffic mitigation. There are only nine dwelling units.
The number of trips generated by the nine dwelling units is less than the
existing dairy business and how could one make a project that has less trips
contribute to traffic mitigation when the existing business produces more
trips? VC/Torng said he was agreeing to that but it should be mentioned in
the report — at least saying it was studied. It only says "studied the trips into
the mini -mart." Chair/Nelson referred VC/Torng to page 38 of the Negative
Declaration - the thresholds that discusses traffic loads and capacities on the
street system — no impact. Level of Service established by County
Congestion Agency on designated roads or highways — no impact.
Chair/Nelson said he believed the document addressed VC/Torng's
concerns by indicating no impact for all thresholds, thresholds that are
provided through CEQA guidelines, which are guidelines to implement the
review in compliance with that law. The fact that there is not a lot of detail is
not a violation of CEQA in any way.
Chair/Nelson said he drove by the site and has known of this impending
project for many years. VC/Torng said he too drove by the site.
Chair/Nelson opened the public hearing.
Joseph Kwok explained the proposed project was expected to serve "empty
nesters." He indicated that the dairy's lease had expired and it would not
make economic sense for them to continue the business in that particular
location. With respect to parking on Golden Springs Drive there is no street
parking allowed. Mr. Kowk felt it would not be aesthetically pleasing for the
new project to have a wall blocking the view and there are other things that
can be done to reduce noise inside the units. He felt it was very important
for the project to have an attractive fagade and streetscape. With the
amount of open space around the dairy there is a security problem. With the
project abutting the neighbors it will improve the security in the area. Indeed
the development will provide an overall improvement to the neighborhood.
Debbie Avila -Mott, 480 Wayside Place, felt it was a shame to lose the dairy,
which is a part of the City's history She would prefer that the investment
company renew the dairy's lease and improve the site.
Chair/Nelson closed the public hearing.
SEPTEMBER 11, 2007 PAGE 11 PLANNING COMMISSION
C/Nolan shared the sentiment of nostalgia about the dairy. However, the
owners have decided not to renew the lease and it is their prerogative to do
so. AssocPYLungu explained to C/Nolan that all traffic studies consider only
A.M. and P.M. peak hours and that turn lanes were not at issue in the traffic
study.
C/Lee was Concerned that he saw no doors to the underground living/parking
area and no venting on the submitted plans. C/Lee referred to the underfloor
area which is close to the parking area. He does not see any ventilation
area. He is Concerned that people can live in the small area but there are no
doors or ventilation. He requested that the applicant explain the reason there
is no ventilaltion or doors. Mr. Kwok stated that there isn't sufficient room for
anyone to live in that space. C/Lee stated that the area looked large enough
that people can live there whether to visit, etc., but why does the plan not
show it as a living space area with ventilation, doors, etc. Mr. Kwok referred
C/Lee to sheet 18. The small area under the stairs does not have sufficient
headroom 10 provide a living area. The bonus room is the utility area inside
of the garage. C/Lee asked the applicant if the space was open space or
living space. The applicant replied that it is not living space. C/Lee was
concernedabout carbon dioxide coming from the garage. Mr. Kwok said
there would be a natural air vent into the garage area. Next to the garage is
open space for ventilation. Only about three feet of the garage area is
underground.
Chair/Nelson said he too appreciated the history of the dairy. However, is
there anything about this project that is not in compliance with the City's
Development Code, which is what the Commission is here to enforce?
CDD/Fong', responded that the project complies with the City's Development
Code. Chair/Nelson referred to a correspondence received by the
Commission that indicated that the City was considering this project because
it would receive more tax dollars. However, commercial development
provides more tax revenue than residential development. CDD/Fong
confirmed Chair/Nelson's assumption. Chair/Nelson reiterated the need for
housing in'the southern California area and this particular piece of property
would offer a good placement for residential housing.
In spite of the fact that C/Nolan was very sad that Jim's Dairy was going
away, the project before the Commission is in full compliance with the City's
Development Code. C/Nolan moved to recommend City Council approval of

VC/Torng said that what PT/Alvarez presented in his staff report was not in
the Commissioner's packets. He hoped the project would be easier to
understand for everyone involved and if the Commissioners are not able to
review the information ahead of time it is difficult to render a decision. He
remembered that he asked the applicant to make an effort to co -locate and
he wanted to know what kind of effort the applicant had made. In addition,
the second choice was to propose an alternate location. He questioned how
far the applicant intended to move the antenna back from the original
location. He concluded that a lot of the information was not available. He
hoped the applicant could provide the information the Commission requested
SEPTEMBER 25, 2007 PAGE 5 PLANNING COMMISSION
but would have preferred that the applicant provide the information ahead of
time so that the public and the Commissioners could read and understand
the applicant's effort ahead of time.
VC/Torng asked if his statement was correct and CDD/Fong responded that
staff's report did include the plan that showed the relocated pole but for
further clarification staff added tonight's information on the current plan only
to better illustrate the proposal so that the Commission and audience would
be very clear on the new location of the pole. The applicant could have
- - -provided-arddition-al-illustrations-to-make -it clearer-to-the--Planning
Commissioners.
Chair/Nelson asked PT/Alvarez to summarize the benefits of relocating the
monoelm on the property. PT/Alvarez responded that the applicant
submitted propagation maps to show the Commission alternate sites and co -
location sites. He suggested the applicant be asked to address that issue.
The current site was moved away from the flat pad to the slope because the
applicant was unable to find other locations and co -locations for the
necessary coverage.
CDD/Fong stated that by relocating the monoelm into the slope area it does
not take away from any usable park space and no one would play within a
2:1 slope. The height of the pole is about the same, it looks like a tree and is
camouflaged by the tree and screened by other large trees in the area.
Therefore, the applicant has attempted to address the many concerns of the
Commissioners and the residents that the tree would take away usable park
space. With respect to coverage, according to the applicant, moving the tree
would meet the applicant's needs in providing the needed coverage. The
applicant looked at locations outside of Diamond Bar and found the coverage
to be inadequate. The applicant has colored illustrations that show that were
the antenna to be located in other communities it would not provide the same
level of coverage as it would if the pole were located within Ronald Reagan
park. Therefore, the applicant believes that the proposed site at Ronald
Reagan park would still be the best location for providing the best coverage.
In response to C/Nolan CDD/Fong indicated that the highlighted yellow items
are the current location of the picnic tables and staff is not planning to
relocate any park equipment. If the monoelm were placed within the 2:1
slope as indicated the height would be lowered to some degree.
SEPTEMBER 25, 2007 PAGE 6 PLANNING COMMISSION
CDD/Fong responded to Chair/Nelson that if the monoelm were relocated as
proposed it would be further away from the picnic tables and park equipment
in general.
Chair/Nelson reopened the public hearing.
Ed Gala, Sprint/Nextel, explained the potential coverage areas using an
overhead map and pointed out that the proposed antenna site was moved
out of the park area into the slope area to avoid any possible perception of
-impact-to usable park -space. This project -as modified -and -designed -is -in
compliance with the City's wireless regulations and requirements. The
monoelm is similar in size and structure to other trees in the area. With
respect to distances from residential uses, the code indicates the height of
the pole plus 20 percent or a distance of about 54 feet with this facility being
more than 200 feet from the nearest residential use (four times the City's
standard). Ronald Reagan Park is a City pre -approved wireless site, which
indicates to Sprint/Nextel that wireless sites are expected and encouraged to
locate there. In fact, there are no homes in front of the antenna and this
appears to be the best spot to locate an antenna within the park. He
reiterated that if the Commission offered a preferred spot within the park,
Sprint/Nextel would certainly be open to exploring that possibility as well.
VC/Torng said he appreciated Mr. Gala's effort and asked if he had
discussed this project with any of the residents. VC/Torng further stated that
the alternate locations were the same locations discussed in the past.
VC/Torng asked again if there is not really a new location that Sprint/Nextel
can consider? Mr. Gala responded that the Commission asked the applicant
to explore the Verizon site on Golden Springs Drive. Sprint/Nextel explored
that site and ran the coverage plots and it did not fulfill the need of the
search ring. Also, the water tank was a site that the applicant was asked to
explore and Sprint/Nextel provided the coverage plots and that worked to
some degree but did not fulfill the requirements. VC/Torng asked if there
was a big difference from the water tank and Mr. Gala responded yes — the
two sites do not cover Pathfinder Road, which is the primary objective of this
proposed cell site. Sprints coverage ends at the park and this would
commence at the park to provide coverage to the gap west, north and south.
VC/Torng said that is why the Commission wanted to know that up front.
And so the applicant considered only those two locations — Brea Canyon
Cutoff and the water tank. What about Rowland Heights? Did the applicant
consider any Rowland Heights sites? Mr. Gala explained that the Verizon
and water tank sites are in Rowland Heights off of Brea Canyon Cutoff.
SEPTEMBER 25, 2007 PAGE 7 PLANNING COMMISSION
VC/Torng asked if Brea Canyon Cuttoff was the Rowland Heights side?
VC/Torng asked what about Pathfinder Road and Brea Canyon water tank
because that location is on the City map. Mr. Gala again showed the
coverage plot from Pathfinder Road and Brea Canyon. Due to the terrain
constraints !it would be shielded from providing coverage on Pathfinder Road.
Mr. Gala reminded the Commission that at previous Commission meetings
he spoke about other alternative locations including the elementary school to
the south and co -location off of the SR57, which is already a Sprint/Nextel
site. VC/Torng remembered that at the last meeting Mr. Gala promised to
call -Verizon. Mr—Gala responded -that -the applicant -called -Verizon -which -is --
how they obtained the address of the Verizon site. VC/Torng said how come
Verizon can provide such a service - good reception. Mr. Gala said he could
not answer that question. When Sprint/Nextel ran the coverage plots the
results were as previously indicated and there was no coverage on
Pathfinder Road. Mr. Gala said he could not speak for how Verizon was
covering Pathfinder Road. From his personal experience his coverage
dropped as he rounded the bend at the park and he did not have coverage
again until he got down near Golden Springs. VC/Torng asked if there was
old technology that needed to be matched up with Verizon because with
Verizon there is very good reception in Diamond Bar. So Sprint/Nextel has
already considered that and there is no way to do it? Mr. Gala said
VC/Torng was correct. VC/Torng said then he had nothing to say.
Chair/Nelson said that last time the Commission asked Sprint/Nextel to
explore all possible co -location facilities in the area. He said that he
understood'that the sites with no possibility to provide coverage would not be
pursued. He asked if the co -location with Verizon on the overhead was the
only one available and Mr. Gala responded "yes."
C/Nolan asked Mr. Gala to comment on the future of satellite coverage and
whether that would allow for the future removal of cell sites. Mr. Gala said he
did not believe that Sprint or Nextel would be using satellites because of the
low power and radius. In order to provide transmission the provider would
need a much larger transmission source (cell radio) to reach a satellite. He
said he believed that all carriers would continue to use multiple cell sites on
the ground for the foreseeable future.
Chair/Nelson reopened the public hearing.
Valerie Geddes Curnihan, 2211 S. Meadow Lane, asked that Sprint try to
look for a neighborhood that does not already have existing homes so that
SEPTEMBER 25, 2007 PAGE 8 PLANNING COMMISSION
families moving in can decide if they want a cell phone tower near their
homes. She knew there was already a cell phone tower at Diamond Bar
High School which is about three blocks from where she resides and if
another cell tower is located at Ronald Reagan Park it would be about two
blocks west of her home with possible radiation from both sides. She is a
bladder cancer survivor and she has two small children and knows that the
health risk has not yet been proven and asked that the cell tower not be
placed at a park where young children play because their bodies are
growing. She felt that if Verizon could cover Pathfinder Sprint/Nextel be able
do so 8s well -She felt that-the�ealth ott erself-arrd-herneighbors-was-----
not worth one street that may dip in cell phone coverage and she was willing
to live without coverage if she could have peace of mind and, if she and her
family could have a healthy place to live. She asked that the Commission to
stand behind the residents and ask Sprint to keep looking. She felt there
were sites in Rowland Heights including a park site with hills that might be
beneficial to Sprint.
Theresa, 20919 High Country Drive, wanted to know why she got such good
reception from Verizon and their coverage was so big and the applicant's
coverage was so small?
Stephen Davis, 20763 Rim Lane, asked for the map to be displayed. He
said that according to the map, about 85 percent of the benefit would be
outside of Diamond Bar so this project is proposed for a park in Diamond Bar
to support Rowland Heights. In order to construct the tower the access road
will run behind the tennis court and trees will have to be cut down along the
walking path and the entire area would be converted to asphalt. He felt there
might be better technology to handle this situation. He said he spoke with a
friend of his who is the mayor of Westlake Village. The mayor told him that
they use technology that is mounted on light poles just above street level and
he did not understand why that type of coverage would not be available for
Pathfinder Road. Also, he has not heard any discussion about the impact to
property values. Whether there is a health concern as well as a concern
about the equity in their homes. It seemed to him there might be better and
less intrusive ways to get the cell coverage.
Frank Chen, 20803 Quail Run Drive, said his 10 -year old son has been
complaining about headaches and Mr. Chen was concerned about the
radiation. He has lived close to the water tank and he does not like to have
any towers in his area because he spent a lot of money on his home and he
SEPTEMBER 25, 2007

was concerned about loss of equity and health as well. He and his
neighbors do not want any towers in the park.

:ommission would consider a different location because she did
as fair for the residents of Diamond Bar.
Angie, 2080 Peaceful Hills Road, said she was not concerned about the
price of thel real estate but she was concerned about the health of the
people. Ra�iation is a major concern in her opinion. She knows that there is
high voltage for any tower and it is bad for the people's health. People are
sad there w II be a tower in their area and their feelings and health is most
important and more important than technology.
Patrick Wen, 20799 East Rim Lane, said this installation would greatly affect
his house. obody likes to live near a high voltage tower because of the
radiation unless you cannot afford a high priced house. Of course there is
no direct scientific proof indicating that radiation causes cancer and leukemia
but studies i0dicate that people living near high voltage towers have a higher
rate of leu4mia and of course that makes him concerned about this cell
pole. Most'of the residents in this area do not really need that pole. If
people haveVerizon they can receive the signal. Some people do not care if
they have g od reception in this area. If the City approves the project he
would suggest that the pole be put next to the Verizon site and put a smaller
antenna on the water tank to cover a larger area.
VJ Butah, 20793 East Rim Lane, wanted to show pictures he took about 10
days ago sh wing hundreds of kids playing in the park. The water tank is
4,635 feet away from the park and is at a higher location than Ronald
Reagan Park. Sprint's map shows that if they drew a circle from the water
tank they would get a lot better coverage from that location than from Ronald
Reagan Park. The last time Sprint did not look at this location and this time
they have refused to look at this particular tower and his feeling is that it is
because it is located in the County of Los Angeles where the process of
getting a cell tower approved is much more stringent than it is in Diamond
SEPTEMBER 25, 2007 PAGE 10 PLANNING COMMISSION
Bar. He lives in a neighborhood where people are concerned with location
and direction of their homes and staircases. When he bought his home it
was on the market for six months because it was oriented poorly for some
people and he was able to pick it up more cheaply than if it had a better
design. He felt that if a cell tower were built in the park the sale prices of the
homes would decrease dramatically. People will not buy these houses
because there is a cell tower in close proximity and he felt the Commission
should look into this matter before making its decision. There are 15 homes
that will go down in value by 10 to 20 percent. He does not understand why
tI-ie tower cannot be put -at -the south hill -where there-is--open-land-He-felt-- —
$18,000 a year was a small amount to collect for all of the negative issues
that would result from this installation.
Chin Chow Yun said that everyone he asked about the cell tower in Ronald
Reagan Park was against the installation. In addition, he obtained over 100
signatures on a petition in opposition to the project, which he delivered to
City Hall. Today it is very clear to him and to the community that it will impact
the environment and safety. The applicant also emphasized that it would
increase the value of the homes. He believed that no telecommunication
antenna would increase the value. His community is different. Put the
antenna in your backyard, please. According to their statement everything is
legal and follows state law and it is good for the community. He said he
knew that his community had no recourse but it does not mean that the
project should move forward. It is more about the relationship of a
community, property deflation, public safety and public interest. Residents
pay taxes and he also pays association fees. This is not fair to the
community. Ronald Reagan Park is a busy place and many children play
here. Who will be responsible when the winds or earthquake cause the
structure to collapse? He wanted the applicant to find another remote
location and not build the antenna in a busy area.
Tony Lee, 20836 Quail Run said he had attended about three of these
meetings and he appreciated the time invested. Technology and cell phones
are important in today's world. There have been eloquent speakers today
who have pointed out that there is another location with a water tower that is
already destined for a utility use in a nearby city, which certainly should be
considered. If the intent were to mitigate the coverage on Pathfinder he
would prefer to take a lower dosage on a smaller transmitter than to have
one large transmitter. If the technology is available it should be used. He
was hoping to hear consideration of smaller towers on street light poles
rather than one larger tower similar to what has been done in Westlake. In

fact, there i$ a micro tower on Fairway that covers Fairway to Brea Canyon.
He said he Was not looking to stop technology but felt there was a better fix
than a large fake tree in a park.
Chun Char'g, 20718 E. Mill Lane, said there were more questions than
answers a d he would like for the Commission to make a good decision.
Many peop e visit the park. People need the park and the park needs the
people. Don't let the people be mentally tortured over this matter.

said there were a number of folks who spoke about potential
d he asked ACA/Kovacevich to address how the Commission is
n such consideration. Chair/Nelson asked Mr. Gala to respond
i about the space in the park that would be impacted and
)r turf grass due to the access road construction; the question
ter tank coverage and why that site at a higher elevation does
:ttercoverage; and comments with respect to better technology
Mr. Gala st ted with respect to the access there would be a paved access
road from the parking lot to the equipment shelter. There is no access road
proposed to the cell tower. Once these towers are in operation they are
rarely visited by techs. The equipment shelter is typically visited on a
monthly bads to make sure the equipment was properly operating and
change out some basic radio stations. There are no other impacts to the
park. In fact, the road would not be necessary for Sprint if the Commission
wanted it eliminated. The Parks Department asked forthe paved road. With
respect to property values, he presented a number of reports prepared by
independent sources that indicated there was no impact. In fact, the homes
closest to the cell tower increased in value more than those further away.
Sprint customers looking to buy a home would be pleased to have the
coverage. With wireless Internet coming, everyone will want coverage and
what this doss is allow residents in the area to have a choice among carriers.
With respect to micro cells on Pathfinder, Sprint/Nextel has installed this type
SEPTEMBER 25, 2007 PAGE 12 PLANNING COMMISSION
of technology in certain locations such as windy hillside locations. The micro
cells would actually be closer to home sites. This site is a pre -approved site
for wireless, which encourages Sprint/Nextel to go to this park following the
City's regulations. Supposedly in designating this as a pre -approved site the
City Planning Commission and City Council evaluated the same impacts that
are being discussed during this public hearing and deemed the installation
acceptable. The project complies with all standards and warrants approval.
Mr. Gala stated that his company provided information on the propagation
map from the water tank on the Brea Canyon Cutoff that it did not propagate
o PatLifmde- r fZoad because the signal —acked-bytKehiltsDifferent
technologies and frequencies propagate at different ranges. Conceivably,
that is why Verizon can cover the site from a greater distance than can
Sprint. Also, the grid patterns differ so they may be covering it from an area
that Sprint/Nextel is not aware of somewhere higher up or further away.
Sprint technology is very site specific and very low range. With regard to co -
location it would be the applicant's first choice. If co -location were possible it
would save Sprint lots of time, lots of money and lots of grief because the
applicant would not have to go through the public hearing process again. In
short, if there were a co -location opportunity Sprint would have taken it.
There is none. The site as designed meets the standards and should be
approved.
C/Lee said that a speaker claimed that a low -frequency tower output is akin
to a microwave and he believed that it was more fiction than truth and is it
true? Also, what is the typical wattage and voltage of the facility? Mr. Gala
explained that during the last Commission meeting the RF Engineer went
into detail about those issues, which is in the public record. Basically, these
are very low power facility - typically less than 200 watts per sector. Radio
stations broadcasts radio waves at 10,000, 20,000 and 50,000 watts of
power. These facilities are radio wave. Radios have been in common use
since the 1920's. This is not a new technology. The tower is made usable
through the use of computers - the blending of computers with radio waves
that allow the handoff of phone calls to different cell sites. No one is afraid of
radios in their homes. People are bathed in radio waves now from countless
sources much more powerful than the proposed facility and no one is afraid
of those types of radio waves. And that is why the federal government
preempted local jurisdictions from considering health impacts because the
technology is not new and it has been deemed safe and is in common usage
throughout the world.

that with respect to allowing speakers to return to the podium,
and propert value an issue that is to be considered? CDD/Fong responded
that the job of the Planning Commission is to consider the land use and
whether the land use is compatible with surrounding uses. Economics is not
part of the discussion and should not be considered. Everyone has an
opportunity to speak and if someone has something new to add to the
discussion hey should be allowed to speak. Property value and economics
is not withi the purview of the Planning Commission.
A speaker said the applicant stated the property values would not drop and
he believed the applicant was wrong because a real estate agent would point
out that t*e is a pole about 200 yards away and a potential buyer would
discount the property value.
Chair/Nelson closed the public hearing.
Chair/Nelsdn asked ACA/Kovacevich to discuss what the Commission is
allowed to consider when deliberating on this matter with respect to health
issues. AC Kovacevich responded that quite simply, federal law prevents
the Commission from considering perceived health effects. The only issue is
whether the equipment proposed complies with FCC requirements and this
does. Thee is broad preemption generally in the area of telecommuni-
cations regulation. Local zoning authority is preserved except when strict
application of the zoning laws would result in a significant gap in coverage.
"A significant gap in coverage" could be considered if there were a
considerabl6 number of people that utilized this technology using this road
that would 'make it inconvenient for the user. This matter is for the
Commission to decide. One of the issues that came up tonight is the issue
of co -location, which as the Commission is aware, the City's ordinance
prefers as the number one preferred alternative. Many speakers expressed
bewilderment over other carriers being able to serve this area from certain
areas and print not being able to co -locate in those areas and obtain the
SEPTEMBER 25, 2007 PAGE 14 PLANNING COMMISSION
same coverage. There are differences between technologies. The
Commission can decide whether it believes there is enough evidence in the
record to demonstrate that co -location is truly not feasible in this instance.
VC/Torng said he thought he heard the attorney say what has concerned
him. There have been three meetings about this issue and the Commission
is still trying to find the best co -location. He felt this was an "arrangement"
issue and he strongly believed in the technology also. Up to today he was
not provided clear maps to study ahead of time and he still did not
un er— std where the circ a is and -he still d -id not-ande7stand-th�coverage
issue. The residents are against it and if tonight's meeting represents 80 or
90 percent of the residents the business case is really bad. He heard the
applicant mention that this is a City pre -approved location and he indicated to
CDD/Fong that he felt this matter should be pushed back to the City Council
because when the City Council made the decision that this was a pre -
approved location they probably did not hear the voice of the residents.
Weighing all of the factors he respectfully submitted that in his mind this was
not a good project. He would like for the applicant to have the opportunity to
talk to the City Council because when the City Council pre -approved this
location they did not hear the voice of the people and he believed the voices
should be heard by the City Council. And if the Commission makes the
decision it is approved and it will not go to the City Council. The
Commission's decision is final, right? CDD/Fong said the Commission's
decision would be final unless it was appealed to the City Council.
VC/Torng said for this project the applicant should have one more chance to
talk to the City Council because based on all of the facts it really is not a
good project and he thought that that even though it was a pre -approved
location the City Council should have a chance to understand and listen to
the people's voice and let them know why this is a good location. When they
do the planning and everybody who does the plan will do their job.
Sometimes it is not a good plan so the Commission has to let the City
Council know this is not a good plan but he would like for the applicant to
have an opportunity to present his plan to the City Council. VC/Torng asked
for comments from the Council.
C/Lee said the City Council members are elected officials and they are
elected to represent the people. Their decision should be respected. We
are all citizens and this is a public common benefit and the Commission
should decide tonight.

C/Nolan offored a motion of approval.
CDD/Fong $aid she would like to poll the Commissioners and give the
applicant an opportunity to accept the action of denial or return to the
Commission with additional information.
C/Lee said he would like to hear C/Nolan's motion and make his decision.
C/Nolan said she understood staff's concern and withdrew her motion in
favor of a s0aw poll.
Straw Poll:
C/Nolan — a prove
VC/Tor ng —deny
CDD/Fong clarified the City's ordinance that indicated the site was pre -
approved fort consideration of a cell tower. The location is not pre -approved
for a tower and that is why the applicant must proceed through this review
process.
Chair/Nelson, asked for clarification. CDD/Fong stated that the City has
established an opportunities map to designate locations for carrier in orderto
prevent antenna farms. Where a location might have five or six different
poles. The City wants to make certain that poles are within certain
designated 0reas, but not every site is appropriate for a pole, monoelm or
SEPTEMBER 25, 2007 PAGE 16 PLANNING COMMISSION
other types of cell towers. The locations designated and what the applicant
referred as "pre -approved" were simply locations that offer opportunities for
cell towers. The City limits the number of cell towers and each cell tower is
subject to a land use entitlement approval. Most of public facilities including
schools, water tanks, public parks, etc., are listed an opportunities map.
C/Lee – approve
Chair/Nelson said that what bothered him was that there was no scientific
evidence that would cause him to denytKe project-lfiapproved; he -would --
have suggested that the access road to the maintenance shed be eliminated.
Moving the tree away from the play area to the slope is a good thing. He
said he did not view his role as having the authority to deny the project per
se, it is really to make projects as good as they can be. The clarification
about the park being a "pre -approved location" makes him feel as if the
Commission is empowered with a bit more discretionary authority. The
compelling reason why he is not in favor of this project is because of what
the Commission is hearing from the community. If the Commission's job is to
do what is good for the community the community has stated it is not in favor
of this project. Even if the City were to spend the next 30 years convincing
the residents that there is no health risk associated with these facilities there
remains the stigma that they will feel and live under; whether or not it will
affect property values is an unknown. However, since residents have come
out three times in a row he would have to say this project is not good for the
community.
Straw poll – 2-2; CDD/Fong said that a two to two vote would be considered
a denial. CDD/Fong recommended that the Commission continue this item
to October 9, 2007, and direct staff to prepare a Resolution of Denial for
consideration.
ACA/Kovacevich said that some Commissioners commented earlier that they
would like to have the City Council address this matter. Obviously, a vote to
deny would be appealed by the applicant, which would move the matter to
the City Council for consideration.
Chair/Nelson said he did not agree with VC/Torng's comment that this matter
should be considered by the City Council rather than the Commission
because Chair/Nelson believes that the Commission is charged with taking
care of the business brought before it.

VC/Torng asked CDD/Fong if she knew the height of the building from the
highway and whether there is residential in addition to commercial in the
area. He disclosed that he drove through the area and he was concerned
about the view from the residences and the commercial buildings because of
the slope. CDD/Fong reiterated that the Commissioner's packets do not
contain information that shows the relationship of the building heightwith the
adjacent residential use. On the freeway side there is a tall Caltrans freeway
sound wall. However, staff does not know the relationship of the height of
the building to the sound wall. Therefore, she could not state how much of
the proposed structure might be visible from the freeway or from the
residences. VC/Torng asked if there were stop signs at Via Sorella and Brea
Canyon Road. He asked if the Commission could recommend a "reduce
speed" sign because people drive fast on northbound Brea Canyon.
CDD/Fong said she could discuss the matter with the Public Works
Department. He asked why the applicant was seeking a seven-day per week
facility.
CDD/Fong verified to Chair/Nelson that staff did not have a visual simulation
from the freeway or from the residences.
C/Nolan and Chair/Nelson indicated they drove by the area.
Chair/Nelson opened the public hearing.
Nomaan Baig, 733 Summerwood Avenue, said he has been a resident of
Diamond Bar since he was five years old. He is the founder of Daar-Ul-Ilum,
SEPTEMBER 25, 2007 PAGE 19 PLANNING COMMISSION
a 501(c)3 Corporation and he serves as President of the Corporation. He
introduced members of his organization and outlined the proposed project.
He stated that the contemporary design conforms to the City's codes and
that the project has moved forward in a timely fashion to fulfill every line item
requirement set forth by the City.
Mr. Baig responded that with respect to the traffic issue, as requested, the
applicant hired Webb & Associates to conduct a traffic study. Via Sorella is
approximately 20 feet above the elevation of the residences, which are about
250-feetaw�Vrom the proTect-p-rolyerty-fine--Fn-addition; this -project -is -the— --
last parcel on the street and is buffered by huge trees owned by the AT
Learning Center. The drop off area mentioned by VC/Torng is located at the
driveway entrance off of the cul-de-sac and there is no view of the remainder
of the circulation because the children are dropped off at a sub -terrain
garage, which helps to maintain the straight ground elevation on top of the
garage. The project has obtained fire department access approval from the
Los Angeles County Fire Department. Circulation has been addressed
through the engineering plans noted as G-1, G-2, G-3, etc. The building is
located in a CO zone (Commercial -Office) that allows for commercial
structures up to 35 feet high. The code also indicates that towers are
permitted as long as they do not extend more than 20 feet above the 35 -foot
height. In relationship to houses, the property will be viewable from the
freeway. There is mention of this fact in staff's report, which indicates that
the upper floor might be visible from the freeway. The sound wall is about 22
feet more or less. Therefore, 10 feet of the building and the towers would be
visible from certain areas of the freeway. The tree buffer and lower
elevation will prevent direct visibility to the project. However, the tower atop
the structure may be visible. The applicant stated that he could provide a
visual if directed to do so, but he hoped that it would not be required. With
respect to this being a seven-day school, this school offers academic,
religious and cultural education and there will be individuals who prefer to
receive only religious and cultural education on the weekends.
Mr. Baig responded to VC/Torng that the maximum number of students
allowed at any one time would be 135. VC/Torng thanked Mr. Baig for his
very good report.
Dr. Ahmad H. Sakr, 659 Brea Canyon Road, Walnut, offered his credentials
and stated that he would like for the Commission to approve a religious and

She said she approved of this project.
Nikar Rangoonwala 20739 Lycoming Street, Walnut, said she has lived in
the area for many years and she looks forward to her grandchildren growing
up with access to this center. She said she would appreciate a yes to the
proposal.
Irpon Pare, 22055 Birdseye Drive, has lived in Diamond Bar since he was
one year old and has been part of the organization for many years. He said
he was very thankful for this organization. He is a business owner and his
community has an obligation to his community as well as his religion. A
separate facility is needed for classrooms apart from the mosque and that is
SEPTEMBER 25, 2007 PAGE 21 PLANNING COMMISSION
the reasonfor this project and he hoped the Commission would look
favorably upon the project.
Mr. Baig stoted that he had reached out to his neighbors and community
about this project and held a meeting at City Hall. None of the neighbors
showed up to discuss the program, its content, traffic, etc., at the
September 15 meeting. He also attempted a personal contact with the
owner of the storage units as well without success. He and his colleagues
have made every effort to reach out to the community.
C/Nolan applauded the applicant's motivation. She was concerned about the
lack of a visual simulation and in order for her to render a decision she would
like to see, computer generated simulations or models that included
landscaping, playground, view from the freeway and the residences. It is a
tall building and if approved, this building would probably outlast most of the
Commissior ers and this body needs to consider the future of the community
and its residents. She was concerned about the safety of sub -terrain
parking versus the drop-off area.
Chair/Nelson said he shared C/Nolan's request for visuals. The proposed
structure is marvelous and the Planning Commission asking forvisuals is not
an indication of a denial. Throughout his history with the Planning
Commission) churches have fared well regardless of denomination. When
the Commission considered Stay America across the freeway there was
considerable discussion about a large building adjacent to residences and it
was important for the Commission to understand the impacts to the
residents. This is a massive and impressive structure and the concerns are
the same and the Commission wants to be confident that it will fit into the
neighborhood. He asked the applicant to work with staff to provide visual
simulations chat depict views from the neighborhood and from the freeway.
He said he slid not recall seeing streetlights on Via Sorella. CDD/Fong
confirmed that there are no streetlights on Via Sorella. Chair/Nelson said the
lack of stre6tlights presented a safety concern to him. He asked the
applicant and staff to address that issue as well. He felt this was a wonderful
project.
C/Nolan asked if there was a ratio of open space that was common for
playground area. CDD/Fong responded that there is a 75 square foot
requirement per child of playground area for the public school system. For
private schools there is no such requirement. However, the Planning
SEPTEMBER 25, 2007 PAGE 22 PLANNING COMMISSION
Commission can analyze the concern about having playground area for
private schools.
Chair/Nelson urged staff to look at what had been done in the past. For
example, EV Free wanted to improve and expand the parking lot and as a
result, the playground area was fairly restricted. CDD/Fong said that staff
would research other religious schools.
Mr. Baig responded that the project proposes a combination of landscape
andWar scape area for he p ay area thatallow-s forrextr�currrcuiarrevents—
such as soccer, baseball, etc. There are two basketball half -courts with
green area. He said he would provide visuals for the Commission and the
lack of streetlights would have to be addressed by the City. He said he did
not believe that streetlights would be an issue for the proposed project
because the students would be present only during daylight hours.
Chair/Nelson asked the applicant to have his traffic engineer provide a
statement to the Commission that a safety plan is warranted or not warranted
and that it should include the reasons. Mr. Baig concurred.
Chair/Nelson closed the public hearing.
CDD/Fong asked for concurrence that the Commission was requesting a
visual simulation with a view of the simulated project from the southbound
57, northbound 57 and from the residential side looking eastward; traffic
safety issues and playground context.
Mr. Baig asked what concerns C/Nolan and Chair/Nelson had with respect to
the visualization of this project as compared to other very large buildings in
the immediate area. Chair/Nelson responded that his issue was a
compatibility and adjacency issue. Mr. Baig said that with respect to the
playground area the irregularly shaped parcel required a great effort on the
part of the architect. In his opinion, to consider public school parameters
would be unreasonable for this facility because it would take away from the
project.
C/Nolan said that her concerns had to do with the compatibility of the size
and structure to the surrounding buildings. There is a recommendation from
staff and if there is anything further that staff has to offer at this time she
would appreciate the input. Mr. Baig pointed out that if the project were
prevented from including a sub -terrain parking unit the grounds would

primarily consist of parking spaces and there would be little space left for
building. T�e only way this development could occupy this parcel would be
to provide sub -terrain structure. In fact, staff proposed the sub -terrain
parking with the super structure on top to meet the requirements.
Chair/Nelson echoed C/Nolan that staff would look at other private schools
only with repect to the playground issue, not public schools.

C/Nolan moved, VC/Torng seconded to continue this matter to October 9,

concern voiced by the Commissioners to wit; visual simulation from the three
vantage points; look at the safety traffic issue with regard to the possible
need for si reetlights, and look at parameters for acceptable level of
playground area for private schools.
Mr. Baig said he would prefer to expedite this matter to October 9.

INFORMATIONAL ITEMS
2.1 RECREATION PROGRAM REPORT — RSM/Somogyi
C/Grundy asked how many people were represented by the 36 -teams and
RSM/Somogyi responded that there were generally 12 individuals per team.
RSM/Somogyi responded to C/Grundy that usually there are about 25 to 30
individuals who participate in soccer.
C/Herndon sked again if the financial summary for youth baseball could be used
as a format for the Concerts in the Park. RSM/Somogyi said there was limited
revenue from the Concerts in the Park as there is with youth baseball. C/Herndon
suggested listing expenditures in the same format.
RSM/Somo yi indicated to C/Herndon that the projected amount for education
and trainingfor the Concerts in the Park was a misprint. The projected amount
was $30 an $30 was spent — not $3,000.
VC/Low asked if there was an expense for equipment and RSM/Somogyi said
that Claude Bradley, Parks and Maintenance Supervisor, built a hot and cold sink
for the Concerts in the Park so that the City did not have to rent one each week
saving the City $3200 plus, the sink is available for all other special events.
C/Herndon ondered if the City could save money by purchasing its own sound
equipment and hiring a mixer. RSM/Somogyi explained why it was better to
contract this service out to professionals.
C/Liang said that each event costs $500 to $600 and for that type of equipment
and engineer it would cost way more and not be cost effective forthe City to bring
it in-house.
C/Herndonsuggested that the City look into advertising on the sign at the
Diamond Bar Honda location.
2.2 PARKS REPORT — PMS/Jordan
C/Herndon asked to re-examine the flash -cam system to deter park vandalism.
As he under tood it the system could be moved from location to location fairly
easily. VC/Clow suggested that warning signs be used as a deterrent.

to spending money on a steep slope was to have the trail cut across
switchback) and he wondered what had become of that proposal.
esponded that the landscape architect had the engineers evaluate
rent paths. The budget will pay for the steeper area but not for all of
that would be necessary to do a switchback trail. Staff proposes to
cess points at this time. In the future as the City pursues additional
ope is to connect to the trail that wraps around from Diamond Bar
could preclude going to Steep Canyon but would create a circular
3s steep areas. C/Grundy said he felt steep trails were not attractive
tividuals.
3.1 RESOLUTION — recommending that a future facility in Diamond Bar be named to
honor Bob irbes after the required two-year waiting period.
CSD/Rose eported that since this item had not gone to City Council the
Commission could table this to a future date or until a decision has been made by
the City Council.
C/Herndon fIlt this item should be tabled for the two-year waiting period.
C/Grundy said he did not want to wait for two years to have this resolution move
to the City Council because there is a two-year wait period included in the
resolution. Therefore, he would prefer to have the Commission adopt this
resolution after the naming policy has been passed by the City Council.
VC/Low asked what affect the resolution would have on the City Council or on a
future application. CSD/Rose responded that the Parks and Recreation
Commissioni is an advisory commission to the City Council. This resolution
presents a6ise to the City Council and it would be appropriate for the
commission Ito be able to adopt this type of resolution. CSD/Rose said he
understood �he appearance of recommending adoption of a policy and then
concurrently violating that policy. CSD/Rose said the Commission can always
provide advi a to the Council.
SEPTEMBER 27, 2007 PAGE 4 P&R COMMISSION
VC/Low recommended amending the wording of Item #2 to wit: "In accordance
with an approved naming policy, that an appropriate future facility in Diamond Bar
be named 'in honor of Bob Zirbes" which would eliminate the two-year waiting
period and allow the Council to determine the appropriate timing.
C/Grundy 'moved, C/Liang seconded, to submit the resolution with the
amendment as recommended by VC/Low. Without objection, the motion was so
ordered with Chair/Owens being absent.
4. NEW BUSINESS: None
5. ANNOUNCEMENTS:
C/Liang thanked his fellow Commissioners for moving the naming policy forward to the
City Council
C/Herndon echoed C/Liang's comment and thanked staff for making the Commissioners
look good. He attended the Diamond Bar Day at the Fair luncheon and was happy that
it was handled so well.
C/Grundy thanked', his colleagues and staff for the work that went into the naming policy
and getting the Boli Zirbes resolution passed because it was near and dear to his heart.
He expressed his amazement and congratulations to the City on the Volunteen program
and commented th'lat it was fantastic to see the number of volunteers and the hours they
put in because it is la wonderful program. The Concerts in the Park and the movies were
excellent this year' and in particular adding the movies just made the Concerts in the
Park an even better event. He was also very appreciative of the changes and
improvements at Lorbeer. "WOW!" When one considers the progress that this
Commission has seen everyone should feel good about the tremendous improvements
and services in the City.
VC/Low echoed comments of her colleagues and welcomed RS/Meyers back. VC/Low
thanked all staff m6mbers for their hard work.

PWD/Liu stated that due to a computer error the corrected updated report was not
available and would be presented to the Commission at its next regularly scheduled
meeting.
IV. OLD BUSINESS:
A. Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP) for Sunset Crossing
Road and Prospectors Road.
SENee and Rock Miller, KOA Corporation Consultant, presented staff's report
and recommended that the Traffic and Transportation Commission review the
proposed updated action plan, receive public comments and concur with staff
to implement the proposed traffic calming improvements along Sunset
Crossing Road and Prospectors Road, and offer its recommendation to the
City Council.
Kirk Ramirez, 442 Rockridge Road Lane, said it was not clear on the map if
the median flows through on Sunset Crossing Road under the SR -57 to
Diamond Bar Boulevard. He also noticed that the recommendation for the
curb extension on the SR -57 south off ramp was missing. Mr. Ramirez stated
that the City of Brea has enforceable restrictive right turn signs at peak hours
that exempt residents. Mr. Ramirez said he felt the restrictive right turn signs
should be placed at the SR -57 off -ramp at Sunset Crossing for morning peak
hour traffic and on the corner of Golden Springs for the left turn onto
Prospectors during evening hours
Kathy Chavez, 300 S. Rock River Road, felt the bulges and median would
create a hardship for the school and that drivers would avoid those devices by
traveling down her street and going up Clearview Crest to get to Neil
Armstrong School. If the bulges are too large they will prevent residents from
making turns onto her street and create extra traffic coming down her street.
She requested that the City try placing temporary cones first before
implementing bulges and medians. She asked if the City would consider
placing cushions away from driveways to help people access their properties.
Don Ashman, 119 S. Prospectors Road, was concerned about speed cushions
and medians on hills. Something needs to be done and traffic citations are the
SEPTEMBER 13, 2007 PAGE 3 T&T COMMISSION
best deterrent; therefore, it seemed to him that assigning a traffic enforcement
officer to the area on a random basis would be a lot more cost effective.
Angel Rivera, 113 S. Prospectors Road, said it was difficult for him to get in his
driveway due to drivers' failure to stop at the stop sign and speeding down his
street. He felt the only thing that would slow drivers would be speed cushions
or a traffic enforcement officer.
David DeMers, 22935 Happy Hollow Road, said that although he does not
have the impact that many of the residents have, he visits his in-laws, who live
on Montura Drive just off of Golden Springs Drive, three or four times a day
and understands the congestion and speeding drivers. He also understood
how costly e traffic enforcement officer could be and felt that a one-time cost
solution could be much more cost effective. While he believes a traffic
enforcement officer's presence is the best solution, he believes speed humps
or speed cushions would be the next best solution to mitigate speeding traffic
that turns into the neighborhood from the SR57. In addition, rumors abound
that the City of Industry intends to annex their street to Sunset Crossing, which
will create even more traffic. If the City installs speed (,,ushions now, it will
reduce the potential for that traffic.
Beth Keeler, 404 Gunsmoke Drive, thanked the City for being aware that there
is a problem with cut -through traffic in her area. She and herfriends would like
to see landscaping in the median similar to what has been done at the north
end of Diamond Bar. She travels along Prospectors Road to Golden Springs
Drive about 6:10 a.m. and she routinely has cars coming up behind her
flashing their bright lights and passing on the wrong side of the street. She
has requested police presence from time to time and that has not happened.
The residents need to be able to get out of their driveways and proceed to
work. If the City plans to install a median, she would like to see it be wide
enough and continue all of the way to Golden Springs Drive to slow down the
traffic.
Chair/Shay asked staff to comment on whether speed cushions slow traffic or
not. Mr. Miller responded that speed humps are quite effective in slowing
traffic at speeds of 30 mph and higher. The softer devices such as the bulges
and curb extensions are not quite as effective at slowing slower traffic but are
quite effective at slowing traffic traveling at 35, 40 and 50 mph. He said he
was working on a traffic calming program in another city with this type of
program wherein residents two years ago thought that islands would not be
enough. Now, residents are saying those islands were perfect and they were
glad they were not talked into the speed humps. On the other hand, different
areas are better suited for speed humps and they are particularly suited forthe
area recommended because the traffic volumes are lower and the speed
humps and islands fit better where there are side yards for parking. He
absolutely assured the Commission that with these mitigation measures there
would be tremendous reductions in the numbers of vehicles traveling at the
higher rates of speeds of 40, 45 and 50 mph. Again, in response to
SEPTEMBER 13, 2007 PAGE 4 T&T COMMISSION
Chair/Shay, Mr. Miller stated that speed humps have been applied on streets
with this grade and disruption caused by the speed cushion is not enough to
expect a car to launch. The islands will not prohibit movement. People will
drive around the end of the island but a u -turn won't be necessary and people
will not be prohibited from turning into their driveways.
Jack Istik, 22607 Dry Creek Road, said that there has been much talk about
law enforcement. It was not in the questionnaire probably because it is not
part of the State's grant. He felt the City should not focus on using grant
money because it is there; the City should look at what is best for the
neighborhood and law enforcement is good for the neighborhood. Also, it has
a spin off effect of deterring individuals who want to commit other bad acts. It
appears to him that the survey results depend on where one lives. He wishes
the survey results had shown law enforcement and the proposal appears to be
a little too much in the way of speed bumps and islands.
PWD/Liu stated that one of the aspects of the Neighborhood Traffic
Management Program is enforcement and what the City has been doing is to
continue with enforcement as an integral part of this program. What staff
understood from the residents was that they were asking for additional
mitigation efforts. What staff has offered the residents is to work side by side
to determine what the residents want in terms of traffic calming devices. Staff
feels additional measures would be effective and would be supported by the
residents.
C/Pincher asked if it was possible to add speed cushions during the evaluation
process and PWD/Liu replied "absolutely." Conversely, devices can be
removed. This is a program that involves a two-way communication between
residents and City Hall and the City will not implement measures that the
community does not want. A 22 percent response rate is good and direction
has been given. Of course, everyone will not be satisfied that the result is a
perfect traffic management program. However, staff understands there is a
problem with cut -through traffic and speed.
C/Pincher, referring to Exhibit A, said she saw no feedback signs. PWD/Liu
explained that those devices are included in the City's inventory and can be
considered. Staff knows that those signs work for about a three-month period
at any given location and at that point the City will rotate out the signs.
C/Lin asked staff to comment on other items brought forth by speakers.
DPW/Liu responded that the Sheriffs Department has made clear to the City
that there is no such thing as different treatment for residents and believes the
law is the same for the City of Brea (in reference to a "no right turn" at the off -
ramp with a resident exemption). Mr. Miller said that he knows of no
circumstance where a sign can be put up that indicates an exception for
residents and enforce it other than in an extreme emergency.
SEPTEMBER 13, 2007 PAGE 5 T&T COMMISSION
C/Shah felt that speed cushions were the best and most economical solution.
He recommended that the City look into speed humps and only speed humps
and see what kind of response the City gets regarding cut -through traffic. If
the restricted right turn is allowed perhaps it should be considered for a pilot
program.
Mr. Miller confirmed to VC/Mok that the grade of the street would not prohibit
speed cushions. VC/Mok asked if this was a permanent solution or a pilot
program wherein devices could be removed if the residents asked for their
removal. OWD/Liu said that after installation of any device there is a certain
evaluation period of at least six (6) months. After monitoring the situation and
receiving input from the residents, it is most likely that the devices would
remain unless there were safety issues and conditions that established liability
concerns. VC/Mok believed he had seen a sign in the City that said 'open to
local traffic only" and asked if that would deter cut -through traffic. PWD/Liu
said there are a couple of signs off of Diamond Bar Boulevard that indicate
"local access only." When those signs were first installed it sent a very clear
message and he remembers also that it was made very clear by law
enforcemeilt that such a sign could not be enforced.
C/Pincher asked if the area under the freeway was under the jurisdiction of
Caltrans and whether there was room for a median. SENee said the reason
for the placement of these devices is based on speeding and volume data and
the devices are intended to address the target areas. Ordinarily, the street
under the freeway would be under the jurisdiction of Caltrans. During the
evaluation process staff will accommodate needs as they are warranted.
PWD/Liu said that parts of Sunset Crossing Road and Diamond Bar Boulevard
serve as part of the freeway system (due to missing freeway connectors
between SR -57 and SR -60).
Chair/Shay felt that drivers should be educated and the best place for their
vehicles is in their driveway. He also stated that boats should not be parked
on the street. One speaker commented about beautifying the medians, which
he felt was a wonderful point. There is a high level of education involved in
this process and what residents will find is that some of the primary arguments
against slowing traffic will come from the residents with give-and-take between
neighbors.
C/Shah explained that traffic engineering is an applied science. The survey
results clearly indicate that the majority of residents believe speed cushions
are the best solution and the only way you can get traffic down to 25 mph is
with speed cushion. Although he does not favor a "no right turn" sign, the best
way would be to put up a "no right turn between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m".
Mangal Gulshan said he noticed that in every area, traffic is a major concern.
He suggested that warning signs, flashing lights and Botts dots be installed
throughout the City.
SEPTEMBER 13, 2007 PAGE 6 T&T COMMISSION
Pastor Gil lives near the freeway exit and said he believed that law
enforcement should be present to ticket vehicles that do not stop especially
between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. His house has been hit three times. Drivers
that do not stop are a daily problem and there is no let-up.
Chair/Shay felt enforcement was important at the corner of the SR -57 and
Sunset Crossing Road.
C/Lin asked the residents if the opening of the HOV lanes on the SR -57/60
interchange helped to reduce the traffic in their neighborhood. He said after
the HOV lanes were opened, he noticed the traffic on Diamond Bar Boulevard
thinned out substantially. The audience members responded "no."
C/Shah agreed that law enforcement was probably the best deterrent but it
was not possible to provide enforcement on a daily basis. The next best
deterrent would most likely be the speed humps and, as his colleagues have
said, it would help if the residents would slow down in their own
neighborhoods.
Kirk Ramirez asked why Caltrans does not help with traffic enforcement in their
jurisdiction. There are street signs in every city that exempt buses from right
hand turns. Also, the overweight signs on Golden Springs Drive to Brea
Canyon Road are gone and Golden Springs Drive is now a truck route. Mr.
Miller responded that buses are exempted from right turns because buses can
clearly be identified as a bus. Conversely, it would be difficult to identify
residents as opposed to non-residents. Mr. Miller said he has urged as much
landscaping in medians as the City can afford. Whatever the penalty is, he
could guarantee the residents would not ask for the landscaping to be
removed because residents like landscaping whereas they do not like what
they perceive as intrusive mitigation features.
Chair/Shay indicated to Mr. Ramirez that staff would look into the matter of the
lack of overweight signs on Golden Springs Drive.
Kathy Chavez understood the City received federal grant funds for this project
and she has heard this evening that budget funds are limited. Was the grant
for her neighborhood or for all neighborhoods included in the program? Will
this cost residents additional money to have medians with landscape? Can
the speed cushions be installed on Sunset Crossing Road and on Prospectors
Road past Beaverhead and around the curve of Prospectors Road where the
street is wider? How long has it been since a traffic enforcement officerwas in
her area to ticket drivers? Why does the City have to hire an outside company
to do this study? The City has good engineers who know what to do? She
would be willing to go outside her regular travel area to conform to "no right
turn" and "no left turn" signs at peak hours. She thanked the Commission for
listening to the residents.
SEPTEMBER 13, 2007 PAGE 7 T&T COMMISSION
PWD/Liu responded to Ms. Chavez that he and SE/Yee are registered Civil
Engineers, jnot traffic engineers and the City wants to make sure that it has the
best professionals to assist in a program that will benefit the residents. With
respect to Sunset Crossing Road, in accordance with the City's General Plan,
the street remains a cul-de-sac and the City has no plan to open it through to
the City of ndustry.
SE/Yee responded to Ms. Chavez that the federal grant was specific for both
Sunset Crossing Road and Prospectors Road within the limits shown on the
map. Staff ineeds to be sensitive to the budget in its distribution of proposed
mitigation. Post of maintenance and upkeep will fall under the auspices of the
landscape and maintenance districts throughout the City. Currently, the
districts arel burdened by the costs assessed to the residents. With respect to
speed cushions, Mr. Miller indicated that the City has flexibility to add or
subtract these devices and spoke about how these temporary devices can be
misconceived.
C/Shah said he was pleased to hear again that residents are pleased with staff
members.
Chair/Shay Thanked Mr. Millerfor his contribution this evening and thanked the
residents for their participation and input.
A speaker from the audience asked when this project would go before the City
Council. PV&Liu reiterated that the next step is to present this concept to the
City Councii,, for approval in October and the 1200 residents will be notified
about the meeting. If Council concurs with the concept, staff will continue to
work with the residents to fine-tune the design plan.
C/Shay moved, C/Pincher seconded, to recommend City Council approval of
the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP) action plan for
Sunset Crossing Road and Prospectors Road. Motion carried bythe following

PWD/Liu reported that on August 7, 2007, the City Council awarded the Diamond Bar
Traffic Management System contract to TRANSCORE. SE/Yee manages the
system. Also on August 7, 2007, the City Council approved the crossing guard forthe
intersection of Diamond Bar Boulevard and Mountain Laurel with a one-year review,
and concurred with the Traffic and Transportation Commission on signage and cross-
hatching for the four crosswalks.
SEPTEMBER 13, 2007 PAGE 8 T&T COMMISSION
VI. ITEMS FROM COMMISSIONERS:
VC/Mok said he was pleased that all five Commissioners were able to attend the City
Council's study session to receive a report on the conceptual improvements for the
SR -57160. He thanked his colleagues for sending a positive message to the Council
and residents that the City is very interested in the ultimate fix. VC/Mok expressed
that he and residents were very pleased with the Phase III slurry seal and looked
forward to Phase IV.
C/Lin said that on Sunday he drove the SR -57 and made a left turn onto Diamond Bar
Boulevard to come down to Golden Springs Drive. It was much faster than turning
right and cutting through the neighborhood so he could not understand why drivers
would want to make a right turn and cut through a neighborhood,
C/Shah said that many times he sees workers working on the streets of Diamond Bar
without much protection other than an orange cone. He said he was concerned that
the workers should place the cones further away from where they are working to
divert traffic away from them so they would not be injured. C/Shah said he
appreciated—SE/Yee—'s presentation.
C/Pincher was curious about the Texas dots on Pathfinder by the bridge. AE/Molina
responded that they were scheduled to go in this week; however, due to a delay in
receiving the material, the job will be done next week or the following week from
crosswalk to crosswalk. C/Pincher said the striping for the crosswalk at Diamond Bar
Boulevard and Mountain Laurel Way looks great and the sign gives plenty of warning.
She happened to be at the site the day when school was letting out and people were
really behaving and paying attention to the crossing guard. At this point, the
mitigation appears to be successful. With respect to the northbound SR -57 off -ramp
at Grand Avenue across and on the other side of Grand Avenue; there is a signal at a
3 -way intersection and by time vehicles reach the top of the hill, the car is facing
northeast and there is no signal directly in front of the vehicles at the intersection. It is
confusing to drivers as it appears vehicles are supposed to yield. Staff will look into
this and work with Caltrans.
VII. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS
A. Grand Avenue Improvement Project — Phase III — SE/Yee reported that the
project has come to a standstill awaiting federal authorization to advertise the
project.
B. Industry's Grand Avenue Bridge Widening/Interchange Project — Staff has
shared additional findings with the City of Industry team to minimize impacts to
local intersections (Grand Avenue and Golden Springs Drive, and to minimize
the right-of-way impacts to the Honda Dealership and the golf course).
SEPTEMBER 13, 2007 PAGE 9 T&T COMMISSION
C. Lemon Avenue On/Off Ramps Project — PWD/Liu reported that three
alternative$ are being considered and the environmental document should be
ready toward the end of 2007/beginning of 2008.
D. SR -57/60 Feasibility Study— PWD/Liu reported that additional meetings were
held with the City of Industry to discuss MTA's ten alternatives. Currently, the
two entitie are exploring four or five different alternatives and Diamond Bar
has suggested additional concepts to be explored.
E. Washington Street Cul -de -Sac — AE/Molina reported that this project was
completed lin August. Staff has been working with Edison to relocate the
power pole so that the City can complete the curb, sidewalk and gutter. This is
scheduled for September 24th. Notice of Completion is scheduled for City
Council's Consideration on Tuesday, September 18th.
F. ACE Grad Separation on Brea Canyon Road — SE/Yee reported that the
project was scheduled for completion in September, 2008. Staff hopes the re -
striping of Brea Canyon Road will take place within the next two weeks to
accommodate a truck traffic U -Turn.
G. CDBG Curb Ramps at Various School Locations—AE/Molina reported that this
project was completed on August 9th and City Council approved the Notice of
Completion on September 4.
H. Annual Slur�y Seal Program —AE/Molina stated that the slurry was completed
in Area 3 on September 5th. Striping Improvements and raised pavement
improvements will continue through September 25tH
I. Various Traffic Signal Improvements on Golden Springs Drive — SE/Yee stated
that this prosect has been underway since the week of August 20tH
J. NTMP Pilot Project — AE/Molina reported that the traffic data counts were
taken in Jue and discovered that the calming measures are effective. The
City's traffic engineer is interpreting the data and the outcome will be reported
to City Council in October.
K. NTMP — Palomino Drive — AE/Molina stated that staff met with the residents in
May and took traffic data in July at the request of the residents who believed
that there was a year-round traffic problem. The data showed that residents
were experi ncing speed issues that prompted staff to follow up with another
set of data during the school session to gain a full picture of what is occurring
in the neighborhood. Staff is targeting a follow up meeting prior to the
Thanksgiving holiday. Commissioners will be notified of the meeting date.
L. Prospectors Road Rehab Project - AE/Molina stated that staff received 14 bids
on this project. The apparent low bidder was R.J. Noble with a bid of
$644,000. Tie engineer's estimate was $850,000 so staff sent the bid back to
the design e6gineer to check the low bidder's numbers. The design engineer
SEPTEMBER 13, 2007
PAGE 10 T&T COMMISSION
is confident the numbers are solid. Staff is in the RFP process to select a
construction management consultant to administer construction of the project.
PWD/Liu explained that the limits of the project are Sunset Crossing Road to
the north and Golden Springs Drive to the south. Traffic calming devices will
be installed after the roadway improvements are completed.
C/Shah suggested that staff speak on projects by groups. He suggested that staff
hold the design engineer's feet to the fire when bids come in more than 10 or 15
percent below the engineer's estimate.
C/Lin disagreed because he felt it was a matter of economics. If staff receives many
low bids, it is probably because the contractor is hungry-
Chair/Shay felt the NTMP program should be moving along at a faster pace so that
the residents do not become discouraged.
VIII. SCHEDULE OF FUTURE CITY EVENTS: As listed in the Agenda.

TITLE: One Year Renews of Letter of Credit or City of Diamond Bar Public Financing Authority
Variable Rate Lea a Revenue Bonds, 2002 Series A
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
In 2002, the City's Public Financing Authority issued variable rate lease revenue bonds in the amount
of $13,755,000. Since these bonds are variable rate bonds, there is a requirement to have a letter of
credit to guarantee payment oft the bonds. Union Bank of California (UBOC) issued the Letter of
Credit (LOC) for a five year term when the bonds were originally issued. The current LOC expires on
December 18, 2007 and as a result it needs to be renewed.

City chooses to refinance the debt and cancel the LOC, the most

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The cost of the Letter of Credit hais been renegotiated with the bank and will be lowered from 0.70%
to 0.50%. The new annual cost is anticipated to be approximately $70,000 which is a savings of
$26,110 annually. To make theso changes to the LOC an amendment is necessary at a cost not to
exceed $4,000. The cost of the LIOC fees has been included in the FY07-08 Budget.

PROPOSED CALIFORNIA BOILDING CODES AND DIAMOND BAR CHANGES:
The codes adopted by the State are "California Building Code", 2007 Edition, Volumes 1 and 2,
including all appendices thereto, the "California Mechanical Code", 2007 Edition and the appendices
thereto, the "California Plumbing Code", 2007 Edition and the appendices thereto, the "California
Electrical Code", 2007 Edition and the appendices thereto. The proposed ordinance amends Title 15
of the Diamond Bar Municipal Code incorporating the new California Building Codes. Attached is the
marked up version of the proposed
ordinance showing the changes with strikeout and underlined. A
clean version of the proposed
rdinance is attached for Council action. Also, staff has provided a
resolution making express find
ngs and determinations that modifications to the California Building
Code, California Plumbing Code,
and California Electrical Code are reasonably necessary because of
local climatic, geological or topographical
conditions. The most significant technical changes are
summarized below:
• Reintroduces the Unifo
m Housing Code, 1997 Edition - establish minimum requirements for
housing standards, thuc,
enhancing the quality of life in the City. It gives the City authority to
address the maintenance
of residential housing as relates to required exiting, minimum light
and ventilation, sanitation
facilities, electrical wiring, and weather protection, and abatement of
substandard housing.
Highlighted within this ordinance is the addition to the plumbing code,
which requires all new
structures, to be equipped with an additional main for future use of
reclaimed water for lanc
scape irrigation systems."
• Section 105.2.5 — delet
"Permits not required for fences not over 6 feet high" of the Uniform
Administrative code. Tie
deletion of this provision would require the construction of a fence,
non -retaining, to require
a building permit and be inspected. The change is necessary due to
many wall failures, strong
winds, storms, seismic events and expansive soil conditions.
• Section 105.2.5.1 - amend
to require permits for pools, spas and/or ponds and structures alike
that are in excess of a
2 -inch water depth.
• Section 104.6 - amend to give the Building Official "Right of Entry" when in possession of a
warrant.
• Section 112 - establish the City Council as a Board of Appeals in making a final determination
of any appeal filed agai ist the Building Official's code interpretations or alternate materials.
• Section 105.1.1. - amend to further define storage sheds, tool sheds, and similar accessory
buildings. After reviewing the code enforcement files, it has come to our attention that the so-
called tool sheds anc playhouses are frequently equipped with elaborate electrical and
plumbing systems, wh ch may be used for housing people. This amendment will require a
permit for such a stru ture, which will give Building Official assurance that the storage shed
does not become a livi g unit.
• Section 105.5 - amend to reduce the demolition permit duration from 180 days to 45 days.
This amendment will a low the Building staff to review the building sites more frequently, thus
expediting the demolit on phase of projects and reducing the possible eyesores related to
demolition projects.
• Section 1805.10 - estE blish minimum design criteria for all foundation work in expansive soil
conditions. Throughout the City of Diamond Bar expansive soil (adobe) exists, which
mandates a soils report for any foundation work. By adopting this amendment, the costly soils
report can be omitted f om the typical room addition plans.
• Section 1505.1.1 - am nd to require a Class "C" roof material for all new buildings and existing
buildings throughout tl e City of Diamond Bar when twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the
roofed area is re -roofed within a one year period. The class "C" rated roof is effective against

with this type of challenge requires the expertise of a civil engineer
addressing these projects, and this amendment would address this
to the Electrical code specifying the types of cable to be used for the

The adoption of the Califor is Building Code 2007 edition will aid the Building Official in
administrative, organizational and enforcement rules and regulations for the technical codes which
regulate the site preparation and construction, alteration, moving, demolition, repair, use and
occupancy of buildings, structu es and building service equipment within the City.
COMMENTS FROM OTHER AGENCY AND ORGANIZATION:
A response from the Buildin Industry Association (B.I.A.) was received, informing the Building
Department that the proposed amendments to the Uniform Model Codes were minor in nature and
would not have an impact on e building industry. The Fire Department has received and reviewed
the proposed California Building Code amendments and has determined that the amendments will not
negatively impact the Fire Codes.
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARI
Pursuant to the governmentode, a pubic hearing notice was published in the Inland Valley Daily
Bulletin and the San Gabriel V Iley Tribune 14 days prior to the adoption of the ordinance.

MODIFICATIONS TO THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE, CALIFORNIA
PLUMBING COD , AND CALIFORNIA ELECTRICAL CODE, AS
ADOPTED BY ORDINANCE NO. X (2007) ARE REASONABLY
NECESSARY BECAUSE OF LOCAL CLIMATIC, GEOLOGICAL OR
TOPOGRAPHICAL CONDITIONS.
A. RECITALS
(i) California HE 'alth and Safety Code Section 17922 requires all cities to adopt,
as the City Building StandE rds Code, the State Building Standards Code adopted pursuant
to the provisions of ChaptE r 4 of Part 2.5 of Division 13 of the California Health and Safety
Code.
(ii) Section 17958.5 of the California Health and Safety Code provides, in

requirement3 contained in the provisions published in the State Building
Standards ode and the other regulations adopted pursuant to Section
17922 as it determines, pursuant to the provisions of Section 17958.7, are
reasonably Tecessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical
conditions."
(iii) Prior to ma ing the modification permitted under Section 17958.5 of the
California Health and Saf ty Code, this Council is required to make an express finding that
such modifications or ch nges are reasonably necessary.
(iv) This Councidesires to amend the provisions of sections 1805.10, 1505.1.1,
1508, Table No. 1505.1, nd appendix J of the "California Building Code", 2007 Edition.

XX (2007) amending Section 1805.10 and appendix J of the
2007 Edition, and adding subsection 722.6 of the "California
lition, are reasonably necessary because of local climatic,
onditions. This express finding is supported and based upon
findings and determinations:

3. This Counci does hereby expressly find and determine that the amendments
set forth in Ordinance No. XX (2007), amending Sections 1505.1.1., 1508, and Table No.
1505.1 of the "California Building Code", 2007 Edition, are reasonably necessary because
of local climatic, geologic A or topographic conditions. This express finding is supported

wild lands which neighbor highly populated areas.
C. Because of the above-described climatic and meteorological
conditions, the City of Dia and Bar and the surrounding cities have historically suffered
from occasional structuraland brush fires. These have often been difficult to control due to
the high velocity, dry winds carrying sparks and cinders to surrounding structures with roofs
constructed as described in paragraph 3.a. above.
4. This Council does hereby expressly find and determine that the amendments
set forth in Ordinance No XX (2007), amending Appendix J of the "California Building
Code", 2007 Edition, are teasonabiy necessary because of local climatic, geological, or
topographic conditions. T is express finding is supported and based upon the following
more specific findings andl determinations:
a. The C ity of Diamond Bar is located in a seismically active area and is
in close proximity to ear& quake fault zones (Whittier fault, just south of Tonner Canyon;
Chino fault passes within a mile of the city's eastern boundary), and it is reasonably
foreseeable that an earthquake would render the City of Diamond Bar particularly
vulnerable to devastatio . Further, the City of Diamond Bar is bisected by major
freeways, located primari y in a north -south direction. Substantial numbers of flood control
facilities additionally exist, as well as freeway overpasses and major railroad right-of-ways.
b. Because of the above-described geological conditions within the city,
and the substantial amount of freeway, railroad, and flood control facilities throughout the
community, the City of Diamond Bar, in the event of an earthquake, may be unable to
dispatch an adequate r umber of fire personnel and apparatus to suppress fires and
conduct rescue operations. Moreover, the conditions within Diamond Bar likewise occur
in surrounding communities, hereby rendering mutual aid assistance problematic, at best.
C. Furthermore, climatic conditions within the community render it
extremely likely that, in tV a event of seasonal high winds and earthquake occurring, the
County Fire Department ould be unable to suppress numerous fires occurring throughout
the community.
5. This Council does hereby expressly find and determine that the amendments
set forth in Ordinance No 07 (2007), amending Section 321.0 of the "California Plumbing
Code", 2007 Edition, are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or
topographical conditions. This express finding is supported and based upon the following
more specific findings an determinations
a. The City of Diamond Bar is subject to drought conditions. Its water
provider, the Metropolitan Water District, may restrict local water supplies in such cases
and impose surcharges on water supplied in excess of these levels. As water supplies are
restricted further and the price of water rises, the City of Diamond Bar will find it difficult to
maintain hillside erosion pontrol and the general quality of life in our community will suffer.
3
b. Because of the above-described climatic condition affecting the City of
Diamond Bar, the need for alternative methods of providing landscape irrigation is
enormous. The use of reclaimed water will help to meet this demand, now and in the
future.
6. This Council does hereby expressly find and determine that the amendments
set forth in Ordinance No. XX (2007), amending Sections 110.14, 334.10 (A&B) 334. 12,
590.3 (B), and Table No. 300.5 of the "California Electrical Code", 2007 Edition, are
reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions.
This express finding is sup orted and based upon the following more specific findings and
determinations: i
a. As found in paragraph 4.b., the City of Diamond Bar is located in a
seismically active area and is in close proximity to earthquake fault zones (Whittier fault,
just south of Tonner Canyon; Chino fault passes within a mile of the city's eastern
boundary), and it is reasonably foreseeable that an earthquake would render the City of
Diamond Bar particularly ulnerable to devastation. Further, the City of Diamond Bar is
bisected by major freeways, located primarily in a north -south direction. Substantial
numbers of flood control acilities additionally exist, as well as freeway overpasses and
major railroad right-of-ways.
b. Bec use of the above-described geological conditions within the city,
and the substantial amount of freeway, railroad, and flood control facilities throughout the
community, the City of Diamond Bar, in the event of an earthquake, may be unable to
dispatch an inadequate number of fire personnel and apparatus to suppress fires and
conduct rescue operation . Moreover, the conditions within Diamond Bar likewise occur in
surrounding communitie , hereby rendering mutual aid assistance problematic, at best.
C. Furt

winds and earthquake oc

occupancy buildings.
ADOPTED AND
ermore, as found in paragraph, 2.b., of this Resolution, climatic
nunity render it extremely likely that in the event of seasonal high
:urring, the County Fire Department would be unable to suppress
throughout the community. Therefore protection of electrical
