TITLE: Status Update on Development o a Specific Development Plan and related
environmental documents for the property known as Site D (Brea Canyon Road &
Diamond Bar Blvd.)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council receive a presentation from TRG Land regarding the
development of a Specific Plan and related environmental documents for property owned by the
Walnut Unified School District (WVUSD) commonly known as Site D.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
In June 2007, the City Council approved a reimbursement agreement with WVUSD which specifies
that the City will be reimbursed the cost to create the Specific Development Plan (Specific Plan) for
Site D plus 5% to account for lost interest income. The estimated cost to create the Specific Plan is
approximately $280,909. Therefore, the School District, at the time the property sells, would
reimburse the City $294,954.45.
BACKGROUND:
Walnut Valley Unified School District owns an undeveloped parcel of real property within the territorial
limits of the City ("School Property') which has been found to be unnecessary for future school use
and has been declared surplus property. The City owns an approximate .93 acre undeveloped
parcel of real property immediately adjacent to the School Property ("City Property") which was
purchased for economic development purposes and other public uses.
The School District desires the disposition of the School Property to yield the maximum return to the
District for the benefit of its constituents and its educational mission. The City desires that the School
Property and City Property (collectively referred to hereinafter as "Site D") be developed in a manner
as to assure compatibility with and to meet the needs of the surrounding area, and to provide a
desirable level of sales tax revenues to the City. The School District and the City have agreed to
cooperate and collaborate in the planning of the future land use and zoning designations for Site D in
order that School District and City may each advance its respective objectives for the disposition of
the property.
DISCUSSION:
In order to dispose of the property in a manner that is in the best interest of the City and the School
District, it is appropriate to create a Specific Plan and secure the necessary entitlements for the
property prior to the sale of the property to a developer. The Specific Plan shall be created to include
a mixture of residential and commercial uses such no less than 50% of the usable acreage shall be
for commercial use, and 50% shall be for residential use.
In order to expedite the sale and ultimate development of the property, the City engaged the services
of TRG Land to prepare the Specific Plan. TRG Land, Inc. is familiar with the subject property and
has a long history of working with the School District on this and other School District properties.
As part of the environmental process, the City will be conducting a noticed, public "scoping session"
to gather input from the public and identify areas and issues of concern. The scoping session will be
held on February 21, 2008. This study session is an opportunity for TRG Land to provide the Council
with an overview of the proposed Specific Plan, provide background information on the technical
reports of the Environmental Impact Reports, and answer any questions from the Council in advance
of the scoping session.

CITY COUNCIL STUDY SESSION
FEBRUARY 5, 2008
STUDY SESSION: M/Tanaka called the Study Session to order at 6:00
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 Chang, Herrera, Tye, Mayor Pro
Tem Everett, M/Tanaka.
Staff PrE:sent: James DeStefano, City Manager; David Doyle,
Assistant City Manager; Mike Jenkins, City Attorney; Ryan McLean, Asst. to City
Manager; Bob Rose, Community Services Director; David Liu, Public Works Director;

Society along with Jim Edward.
00, INLAND VALLEY HUMANE SOCIETY REHABILITATION PROJECT
CM/DeStefano made a brief presentation on the Inland Valley Humane Society's
proposed assessment and then introduced Mr. Bill Harford, Executive Director of
the Inland Valley Humane Society.
Bill Harford, Executive Director explained the proposed assessment and outlined
the proposal for the renovation of the 1950's local animal shelter. He stated that
there was no truth to the rumor that D.B. would have an additional $75,000
annual assessment. IVHS plans to raise an additional $1 million above and
beyond the $750,000 that the contract cities are being asked to contribute.
There is a major marketing campaign underway to re -brand the facility. The
Society wants to be known as the professional care and animal control facility
that helps animals each and every day, not as the dog catchers.
Mr. Harford responding to C/Herrera stated that in addition to the renovation, the
last phase will be a 1700 sq. ft. complete new pet receiving and animal adoption
area. He further stated that there are several donors who have indicated their
willingness to support a second story expansion for an administration and
behavior area.
MPT/Everett asked about the ratio of assessment to usage of service.
Mr. Harford explained that the assessment was about $3,000 more than what in
past years has been the percentage of service used in D.B.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Mrs. Wanda Tanaka stated that her family has adopted animals from the shelter.

8.2 APPROVAL OF CONTRACT AMENDMENT TO THE WILDLIFE
CORRIDOR COSERVATION AUTHORITY (WCCA) JOINT EXERCISE OF
POWERS AGREEMENT TO INCREASE THE ANNUAL MONETARY
CONTRIBUTION OF PARTIES FROM $500 TO $2,000. (Continued from
January 15, 2008).
In response to concerns voiced by C/Herrera during the January 15, 2008
meeting, CM/DeStefano reported that while WCCA has the ability to utilize
Eminent Domain, cities have a right to participate with decision making in the
process. The territory of jurisdiction of influence is fundamentally the entire
Whittier/Puente Hills. With respect to the City's participation, staff believes it
is appropriate for the City to remain a member of the organization. More
details are available in staff's report. Staff recommends that the Council
further consider the matter.
C/Herrera thanked staff. She stated that during the past 12 years of
membership she has not seen any benefit to the City's membership. She
believed that D.B. had no voice and no ability to sway WCCA's decisions.
She felt D.B. was very capable of taking care of its local control and said she
resented an outside agency mandating what should happen in D.B. She was
therefore opposed to the City continuing with its membership.
MPT/Everett said that with respect to C/Herrera's service it was clear to him
that D.B. was not able to influence WCCA. He asked if WCCA has regular
board meetings and if minutes are available.
M/Tanaka said that during the past year he has served on the WCCA Board
and that he has Minutes. He stated that meetings are somewhat irregular
and he would be happy to share the minutes with the City Council members.
He felt it was important to continue to have an opportunity to identify the
City's positions to the WCCA Board.
MPT/Everett asked if there was a quantification of assets for the
organization.
FEBRUARY 5, 2008 PAGE 7 CITY COUNCIL
M/Tanaka said he understood the organization was very lean and that their
monies basically came from membership dues from the various cities.
C/Herrera stated that the parent organization for WCCA is the Santa Monica
Mountains Conservancy run by Joe Edmiston. Also, MRCA is an arm of the
Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. MRCA is able to acquire money and
spends money to staff WCCA meetings and employees. Probably the only
money that WCCA itself collects is $2,000 per year in order to staff the
meetings and produce minutes and other documents. $500 per month does
not cover all of the expenses. However, as she previously stated, she sees
no value to D.B. in continuing its membership.
C/Herrera said that in her estimation, a significant increase from $500 to
$2000 deserves a second look and upon reflection, she does not believe
membership is valuable to the City.
Lydia Plunk said she remembered working for incorporation drives for the
City. The reason the City became a City was to gain jurisdiction over local
decisions. During 13 -years of membership in WCCA there has been no
return on the investment and it would most likely be best to discontinue the
City's membership. She asked the City Council to carefully consider WCCA
to be an unwise investment.
Don Sutton said he disagreed with the previous speaker and C/Herrera
because in his opinion, WCCA shows residents what is going on with the
wildlife corridor.
C/Herrera said that several cities opted not to join WCCA and there may be
good reasons why cities such as Whittier, Yorba Linda and Chino Hills opted
not to belong. She has discussed this matter with members of those cities
who indicated to her they felt it was more detrimental to be a member of
WCCA.
C/Chang felt the Council had to make its decision on whetherthe City would
be affected. If WCCA affects D.B. the City should stay in the loop to have its
voice heard in order to make informed decisions.
C/Tye respectfully disagreed with C/Chang and felt that Mrs. Plunk had it
right. What has the City received in return for its membership? The increase
has not been justified. If D.B. did not belong and D.B. was considering
joining WCCA, would it find a benefit to the citizens of D.B. He felt the
answer was clearly "No." If the minutes are available they would be available
whether or not the City was a member. Clearly, this organization has been
disdainful of D.B. and any input it offers. He would not be in favor of
continuing membership at all.
MPT/Everett said he was wrestling with the fact that there had been a 13 -
year relationship with WCCA. He has heard from staff that there is benefit to
FEBRUARY 5, 2008 PAGE 8 CITY COUNCIL
remaining a member and the minutes and tapes are available but it is more
beneficial to participate and have a fresh perspective. There could be
potential value in participating in light of the projects facing the City.
C/Chang said that $500 versus a land use impact could provide a significant
negative impact to the City and the City should remain inside of this
organization.
C/Chang moved, MPT/Everett seconded, to approve contract amendment to

8.3 ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 02(2008): AN INTERIM URGENCY
ORDINANCE PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65858
PROHIBITING THE ISSUANCE OF PERMITS FOR ESTABLISHMENTS OF
AMUSEMENT, ENTERTAINMENT AND OTHER SPECIFIED
CONGREGATION USES IN THE COMMERCIAL AND OFFICE ZONING
DISTRICT.
CM/DeStefano stated that staff is recommending that Council adopt an
interim ordinance in order to place a 45 day moratorium on the issuance of
permits for establishments of amusements, entertainment or other
congregational uses in the City. The current Development Code allows for
those types of uses within commercial and office zones subject to
compatibility with the regulations contained in the Code and in some
instances a conditional use permit approved by the City's Planning
Commission. Due to the City receiving complaints over the years regarding
various types of uses such as this, staff wishes to take a more detailed look
at the primary and secondary effect of these types of uses and to do so in
contemplation of additional regulations regarding these types of uses. Since
this process will take time, staff is recommending pursuant to the
Government Code, a moratorium be put into place. The interim ordinance
would be in effective from the date of adoption. Further, pursuant to the
Government Code, Council may adopt 2 extensions of the moratorium after
providing notice and holding a public hearing. The two extensions would
consist of one for 10 % months and a final extension for an additional year
for a maximum time of 2 years. CM/DeStefano stated that staff will come
back with a report on the progress and a recommendation later in the
process.

9. COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS/COUNCIL MEMBER COMMENTS:
C/Tye spoke about participating in the Neighborhood Watch meeting in The Country
Estates. He encouraged anyone seeking information about the program to contact
Deputy St. Amant. On Saturday, January 19 he and his colleagues attended the
wonderful Snow Fest thanks to CSD/Rose and his crew. He felt Claude Bradley
and Anthony Jordan deserved special thanks for the terrific job. On January27 he
participated with Congressman Miller, M/Tanaka and MPT/Everett at India Republic
Day at the Diamond Bar Center, a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the diversity of
D.B. Kudos to D.B. and Ace Hardware for being highlighted for the successful
battery and fluorescent light collection program and, kudos to Waste Management
for sponsoring the bulky item and Christmas tree pickup program. He pointed out
that Diamond Bar High School and Diamond Ranch High School were named
among America's best high schools by U.S. News and World Report with both
receiving silver medal titles. In addition, Quail Summit Elementary School was
named a Blue Ribbon school. He hoped residents would join the community in
celebrating the legacy of Jeff Hull tomorrow at the Diamond Bar Center. Saturday,
February 9 the Council of African-American Parents will celebrate its 16th Annual
Day Fair. On Wednesday, February 13 please attend the public information
meeting regarding SR/60 and Lemon Avenue. Sadly it was one year ago that the
City lost Bob Zirbes. Proudly, a commemorative bench sponsored by the Walnut
Valley Rotary Club has been placed in Bob's honor at the top of Sycamore Canyon
Park on Diamond Bar Blvd. It is also exciting that ACR82 will designate a portion of
SR57 in memory of Bob Zirbes that will be known as "Mayor Bob Zirbes Memorial
Highway".
C/Chang stated that several outstanding companies located in D.B. have been
nominated by Los Angeles Business Journal including Shay Home Builder, Brian A.
Stirrit & Assoc., Security Union Title, Prelude Systems, Staff Ease and the D.B. Golf
Course. He wished everyone a happy and healthy Lunar New Year during the Year
of the Rat.
C/Herrera thanked Carolyn Anderson for attending tonight's meeting and stating
that Waste Management would replace damaged receptacles. She asked if
residents could be advised of this service in the City's newsletter and on rolling
DBTV. On Friday she attended an all -day workshop sponsored by Foothill Transit.
Foothill is offering free wireless service. Also discussed was the rising cost of fuel
and when there is not a full bus it is not cost-effective to continue providing certain
service lines. The City's partnership has been very beneficial to D.B. and
FEBRUARY 5, 2008 PAGE 10 CITY COUNCIL
individuals need to better utilize the buses or service will be cut back. Yesterday
she participated in the Four Corners Transportation Coalition strategic planning
meeting regarding certain interchange projects. This is the one year anniversary of
the passing of Bob Zirbes. Bob certainly left his mark on D.B. including such things
as neighborhood improvement. He is sorely missed.
MPT/Everett said that for several months a ring of burglars operated in D.B. He
was privileged to see reality played out in a very sad situation. Eighteen were
arrested. He suggested that residents need to remain vigilant. One unusual
experience was that on Saturday, January 19 after the press conference on January
'18 there was a "property claiming" event at the Walnut/D.B. Sheriff's Station. Over
200 people attended to claim their merchandise. D.B. is very fortunate to have two
very good School Districts. On January 24 he attended the education summit
sponsored by Assembly Huff and State Senator Margett. He and M/Tanaka
represented the City at the recent Court of Honor for Andrew Radtke who attained
the Eagle Scout rank. He joined his Council Members in recalling the celebration of
life for Bob Zirbes one year ago and acknowledged his good work on behalf of the
community. On January 22 he shared in the celebration of life for Council Member
Stephen Craig Anderson who served the City of LaHabra. He appreciated the
comments made by Dave Grundy on the life of Jeff Hull.
M/Tanaka thanked Deputy St. Amant for all of his hard work with the Neighborhood
Watch program. He, MPT/Everett, C/Herrera and CM/DeStefano attended the
Mayor's Council in Sacramento and he and C/Herrera were at the press conference
where it was announced that a murder suspect was arrested. The Diamond Bar
Friends of the Library held its volunteer appreciation dinner. He thanked staff for
organizing the Winter Snow Fest, He hoped everyone enjoyed the Lion's Breakfast
Club pizza and participated in the Leo Club sponsored games. He congratulated
Mike and Marny Shay for hosting the 13th annual college preparation seminar and
award of numerous scholarships. He congratulated Key Club President Kimberly
Fan. He attended the Sanitation District 21 seminar, the regional Chamber mixer in
Santa Ana; St. Denis Pastor's Leadership Award Dinner and ceremonies for Eagle
Scout Andrew Radtke. He and his colleagues attended the Indian American
Association of Southern California celebration. He announced that on Saturday,
February 9 at Diamond Bar High School The Diamond Bar Chinese American
Association would celebrate New Year, the Year of the Rat. He encouraged
everyone to attend the SR60/1-emon Ave. meeting. He congratulated Betty Taylor
on the event of her retirement from the Los Angeles County Probation Department.
He attended the League of California Cities LA County during which an AQMD
Board member was selected. He attended a leadership meeting with Leo Club
members. He attended the LA County Fair meeting with Chairman Chang to
discuss the upcoming Day at the Fair on Thursday, September 11. He stopped in at
the Four Corners meeting. Last night he hosted Cub Scouts from Pack 734. He
talked with Deputy Wright this afternoon who was involved in a bad traffic accident
last December. Deputy Wright continues to recover. He is in good spirits and his
attitude is outstanding. He thanked everyone for their good wishes. Sadly, there
have been three deaths in the past weeks; Virginia Ortiz, wife of Tom Ortiz; Rose
Clark, mother of former Council Member Eileen Ansari and Jeff Hull.

approval of Development Review No. 2007-29, Findings of Fact, and
conditions of approval as listed within the Resolution.
Chair/Nelson re -opened the public hearing.
Paul Gonzales, 1510 Kiowa Crest Drive, thanked staff for presenting a
thorough report and indicating that it was not his intention to offend anyone
with this project.
John Hoffner,1504 Kiowa Crest, adjacent and upslope from the project, said
he appreciated the property owner's concern about not offending anyone
with this project. However, he wished that there had been discussions prior
to the plans being submitted to the City because it came as a shock to him.
Mr. Gonzales is a good family man and a great neighbor and is faced with a
number of challenges at home. Mr. Hoffner said he wanted to support
Mr. Gonzales in his effort to keep his family comfortable, safe and intact. He
and his wife purchased their home because of the spectacular views and this
project is a major impact on the view from their ceremonial rooms. In
addition, trees have been planted on Mr. Gonzales' slope, which have not
been maintained. Once the addition goes up he and his wife will lose their
view from the main part of the house and be looking into the neighbor's
bedroom window. He felt there were alternatives that had not been explored
in terms of where else to place the second story addition. He asked what
area would need to be excavated and was surprised the small landscaped
area near the driveway approach would remain intact. He said he also had
NOVEMBER 13, 2007 PAGE 3 PLANNING COMMISSION
concerns about safety to make sure there would be no vehicle collision with
the gas meter and electric meter. He reiterated that over several years
erosion has occurred on the westerly slope, which has exposed the
foundation wall on his property line. What is the City requiring the applicant
to do to assure no further erosion and alleviate erosion that has occurred?
What kind of landscaping is required? Currently, there are a number of
noxious weeds on the slope. He noticed that the report indicated that staff
observed up to six vehicles parked at the site. Often there are seven cars.
He was still concerned about a one -car garage being built near the front of
the existing garage and how it would impact the home and put more vehicles
on the street. There is a board and care home across the street from his
residence and a lot of staff come and go. Parking is an issue on their block
and he asked the Planning Commission to reconsider placement of the
garage addition. He felt any project that came before the Planning
Commission should be considered the same as new construction to preserve
views. He cited a second -story addition that did not impact views and felt
Mr. Gonzales could do the same.
Chair/Nelson closed the public hearing.
Discussion and clarification ensued.
PC/Meyer said staff understood the issue of view impairment. From staff's
perspective, the property owner cannot be required to go through a lot of
design options absent design regulations prohibiting such designs. Staff
tries to encourage the designer to maximize the site constraints and minimize
the impact on the neighborhood, which staff believes the designer did in
exercising reasonable design alternatives. Staff felt the project offered a
minimum impact on the view and neighborhood.
Chair/Nelson reopened the public hearing.
Mr. Gonzales responded to C/Shah that he considered placing the second
story closer to the rear of the house. However, he chose to use the weight
bearing walls of the garage to support the second story. The decision had
nothing to do with blocking views. CDD/Fong stated that for construction
cost efficiency it is better to place the second story above the garage.
C/Lee asked if Mr. Gonzales were willing to discuss this addition with his
neighbor and Mr. Gonzales responded no. C/Lee commented that the
NOVEMBER 13, 2007 PAGE 4 PLANNING COMMISSION
neighbor's comment regarding the fact that he had not spoken to the
applicant indicated to C/Lee that the neighbor lacked communication skills.
Chair/Nelson closed the public hearing.
C/Nolan moved, VC/Torng seconded to approve Development Review
2007-29, Findings of Fact, and conditions of approval as listed within the
Resolution.
C/Lee felt it would be prudent to continue the matter for two weeks to allow
the applicant and his neighbor time to discuss the project.
Chair/Nelson said that every issue brought up by Mr. Hoffner has been heard
and reviewed by the Planning Commission on other project proposals. In
those cases the projects were being constructed to the City's development
standards and codes and the Commission approved the projects. They met
the codes and standards as do this project. If there are flaws, it is not in the
logic of this Commission, it may be within the Development Code. PC/Meyer
confirmed that as indicated there is nothing the applicant proposes that is
outside of the City's Development Code. It is unfortunate that these projects
affect neighbors but it is part of the suburban environment. He said he was
not prepared to not support the motion for approval and would rather be
consistent with what the Commission has done in the past.

Code Sections 22.42, 22.48, 22.54 and 22.58, the applicant requested
approval to establish a wireless communications facility (cell site) at Pantera
Park. The purpose of the proposed cell site was to receive and transmit
wireless communication data via the Royal Street Communications network.
Improvements associated with the proposed cell site include: Replacement
of an existing 92 -foot high field light pole sign with a panel antenna array and
microwave dish; and construction of an unmanned 240 square -foot, 10.5 foot

PLANNING COMMISSIONER COMMENTS/INFORMATIONAL ITEMS:
VC/Torng noticed that the Sprint matter was going to the City Council for
consideration and wondered whether he should watch the proceedings from his
home rather than attend the meeting. CDD/Fong said she expected residents to
appear before the Council. The City Council is the final authority and if the Council
denies the appeal there could be the threat of a legal challenge to the City.
C/Lee said he concurred with Chair/Nelson's comments during deliberation of
Item 7.1. However, all government agencies work for the people and the
Commission must consider their concerns. Today he does not feel good because
the neighbor has rights and he suffers psychologically because his view was taken
away by a neighbor who is supposed to be a best friend. As a public employee we
should have extended more time to make it easier for them. That was his comment.
Can the Commission do that? CDD/Fong responded that the City was not in a
NOVEMBER 13, 2007 PAGE 6 PLANNING COMMISSION
position to regulate human behavior. Staff always recommends that applicants talk
with their neighbors but staff cannot regulate them to do so under threat of not
accepting an application. C/Lee felt it was sad that residents don't communicate.
CDD/Fong stated that every property owner has a right to develop his property
within the guidelines of the City's requirements, which are broad-based and serve
everyone equally. There is no special interest given to any one person or group; the
laws and codes are applied universally to every Diamond Bar property owner.
10. STAFF COMMENTS/INFORMATIONAL ITEMS.
10.1 Public Hearing dates for future projects.
CDD/Fong stated that staff continues to investigate and collect data from
other cities regarding the number of bedrooms versus the parking ratio. Staff
hopes to bring information to the Planning Commission for its decision as to
whether to recommend a Code amendment.
CDD/Fong updated the Commission on the Country Hills Towne Center.
The center will likely propose a name change; the opening date for H -Mart is
November 30. Once H -Mart opens the remaining new tenants will likely
open about the same time. Staff is hopeful that the center will be a good
usable center for the community once completed.

PM/Gubman responded to C/Shah that the height of the existing and new
pole was 92 feet.
VC/Torng asked for PM/Gubman to please show him the final attachment
because he was unclear about the coverage of LA2257. PM/Gubman
displayed a coverage map showing the service provided by the Royal Street
Communications network that would be going on line. The green color
indicates the strongest signal coverage; the yellow provides coverage inside
a vehicle. The combination of green and yellow is the best coverage inside a
vehicle and inside a building. Green, yellow and red show the overall
outdoor coverage. The orange outlines the proposed Pantera Park cell site
with a large white area indicating a gap in service coverage for the Royal
Street Network. Another map shows the predicted coverage for the Pantera
Park cell site. Within the dark green area (closest to the antenna) is the
strongest area of interior reception; the yellow shows reception in a vehicle
and the yellow green and red shows coverage in any outdoor location the
signal should be able to reach. Renditions show Pantera before the cell site
and Pantera after installation of the cell site. VC/Torng said itwas interesting
NOVEMBER 27, 2007 PAGE 3 PLANNING COMMISSION
that a lot of sites were not covered. PM/Gubman said the hills would create
a physical barrier to the signal.
Chair/Nelson asked if this project was posted with a sign at the site so that
anyone using the park would be aware of this project and PM/Gubman
responded, "correct." In fact, the reason this project was continued to tonight
was because the sign had not previously been posted a full ten days prior to
the public hearing as required.
Chair/Nelson opened the public hearing.
Davina Felix, 420 McKinley Street, Corona, said she read staff's report and
concurred with the conditions of approval.
C/Lee said that Pantera Park is a busy park and wondered about the
construction timeframe. Ms. Felix responded that a pre -construction meeting
will be scheduled once the project is submitted to the Building Department.
In addition, the applicant will work with the Parks Department on the
timeframe, which would be suitable for the City schedules. C/Lee wondered
how the applicant would protect park goers during installation and Ms. Felix
indicated that there would be construction fencing surrounding the area.
C/Lee said the radius of the fence should be wider although the pole will be
forced down. Chair/Nelson said he would assume the City was pretty careful
about protecting its liability within parks and that every safety precaution
would be taken. PM/Gubman explained that these installations are heavily
engineered structures that need to be able to support the height, weight and
wind load of the pole and array. Of course the City's Building and Safety
Department will review structural design and the project will be required to
conform to support requirements. Ms. Felix said the soil tests for the
structural calculations have been completed. C/Lee cautioned Ms. Felix to
be careful on that because there are a lot of kids that play in the area and
can climb the fence so every effort should be made to ensure safety.
Chair/Nelson closed the public hearing.
C/Lee moved, C/Nolan seconded, to approve Conditional Use Permit
No. 2007-02 and Development Review No. 2007-02, Findings of Fact, and

9. PLANNING COMMISSIONER COMMENTS/INFORMATIONAL ITEMS:
VC/Torng commented that there have been two different cell site applications with
two different results. He said he watched the City Council meeting discussion
regarding Ronald Reagan Park and he felt that cell sites should be less intrusive to
citizens and no citizens who spoke were interested in having a cell site in Ronald
Reagan Park. He suggested that staff look into the map that the City provides to
cellular companies and re-evaluate locations. Pantera Park is big and Ronald
Reagan is a small intimate park. If the City leaves Ronald Reagan Park on the map
cell providers will come back again and choose that site because it is a high point.
He really wanted staff to look into the proposed map before submitting it to the
applicant and maybe the City could leave off Ronald Reagan Park next time so the
City does not have this kind of controversy. He hoped staff could really consider his
suggestion. Obviously Pantera Park is big enough and there is an existing structure
and maybe the City has to really think about something like that too.
C/Shah commended staff on its presentation regarding the proposed Ronald
Reagan cell tower. He hosted an Indian New Year Festival at Diamond Bar Center,
which was dedicated to Bob Zirbes. Approximately 500 people including Mrs.
Zirbes and Council Members attended the festival.
Chair/Nelson said he did not disagree with VC/Torng but staff has no context for
developing criteria for what might be considered "intrusive." Staff can say a small
public park does not work. However, cell sites have been placed in small pocket
parks. He believed that the Commission would make its decision based on
community perception.
VC/Torng said that the City already has experience with Ronald Reagan Park and
he did not want this site on the map. He thought the City would fight this off
because obviously they are coming back in February again. Even the City Council
decided to evaluate the site but it's still not off yet. They are coming back. So in the
future if we just don't suggest this site to the companies this same problem won't
happen. He agreed with Chair/Nelson but when citizens come before the Planning
NOVEMBER 27, 2007 PAGE 5 PLANNING COMMISSION
Commission they say "health issues, health issues" and the Planning Commission
cannot base its decision on health issues. So in a way the City has to remove it so
it does not have to face the same problem again. That was his point.
Chair/Nelson said VC/Torng's suggestion had some merit. Residents who came
before the Commission about Ronald Reagan Park came to the Commission and
stated they had every right and said the City could not deny them their wishes
because it is in the City's book. If there is some way to develop minimal criteria or
at the very least not let applicants believe all they have to do is show up to a
meeting and their application would be approved it would help the Commission
because the Commission tends to go with the community.
PM/Gubman said that staff learned from that experience and intends to approach
the lease agreements at public parks differently. To this point, lease agreements
have been submitted to the City Council, and the lease was approved pending a
land use approval of the Conditional Use Permit and the potential negative scenario
occurred in this case. Through this recent experience staff will review the
Conditional Use Permit first and pending that outcome, the City Council can decide
whether to sign the lease. Unfortunately, once a lease is signed there is little
opportunity left for discretion.
C/Nolan said she too wholeheartedly agreed. In the case of tonight's continued
public hearing item the lease was already signed. And she voted for the Ronald
Reagan application based on the criteria available at the time. She appreciated this
matter being reviewed by staff.
10. STAFF COMMENTS/INFORMATIONAL ITEMS.
10.1 Public Hearing dates for future projects
PM/Gubman reminded Commissioners that they are invited to the H MART
grand opening on Friday through Sunday. The Temporary Use Permit was
approved today and there is an ambitious program underway for the event.
The City is excited about the potential of this new business hand-in-hand
with the revitalization of the center.

PC/Meyer presented staff's report and recommended Planning Commission
approval of Development Review No. 2006-29, Tree Permit No. 2006-06,
Minor Variance No. 2006-04 and Variance No. 2007-07, based on the
Findings of Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed within the
resolution.
C/Lee said he was concerned that the 60 percent reduction from the required
setback might set a precedent. PC/Meyer explained that the applicant is
saying that the level pad normally required in the rear of the property has
been provided and that it has been tucked under the house instead of built
out on the slope. Therefore, the applicant felt he met the intent of the
requirement for the rear yardarea and with all consideration he would be
complying with the standard. It is a unique design solution to provide the
recreational amenity. However, it is a judgment call for the Commission
based on consideration of whether the design solution is adequate based on
the extreme topography and design alternative. Staff felt it was an unusual
and unique design solution and certainly worthy of debate.
PC/Meyer responded to C/Nolan that the project meets the Hillside
Development standards for the most part in terms of retaining walls. From
staff's perspective, if the owner were going to comply with the standards it
would require importing of a significant amount of materials as well as,
construction of additional retaining walls, which are both discouraged within
the development standards.
PC/Meyer encouraged C/Shah to ask the applicant's PC/Meyerarchitect to est mat d t
comment
on the amount of fill that would be required. However,
could be more than 1000 cubic yards and that keeping trucks off of
residential streets would be a positive aspect. C/Shah asked why the
retaining wall was not proposed to be six feet in height throughout the entire
JANUARY 8, 2008 PAGE 5 PLANNING COMMISSION
wall and PC/Meyer responded that according to the City's development
standards the maximum height of a retaining wall that creates the building
pad could not exceed four feet.
VC/Torng asked why the second attached unit height exceeded 35 feet.
PC/Meyer explained that the elevations are reconciled with the slope.
VC/Torng said he agreed with C/Nolan that the hillside development issue
needed to be discussed. He asked why the applicant felt it necessary to
attach the second unit. PC/Meyer responded that there was no benefit to
attaching the house, the code allows for either an attached or detached unit
as long as the unit did not exceed 1200 square feet in size. And, if the
applicant were accommodating his parents for example, he would
undoubtedly want immediate access from the primary dwelling unit. This is
called a "second unit" because it contains a kitchen facility. Without kitchen
facilities it would be termed a "guesthouse."
C/Nolan said she drove by the location.
VC/Torng opened the public hearing.
Simon Shum, Architect, explained the proposed project and site design. The
living area is distributed throughout the three main levels and there is no
living area in what has been referred to as the "fourth" level. It is a difficult
building site.
C/Shah felt it was a very good design and asked for an explanation of the fill
material. Mr. Shum explained the fill process using the site plan. In order to
create the slope the project would need an additional retaining wall and
importation of about 3000 cubic yards for the rear yard area, a very costly
proposition. As an alternative, he incorporated into his design the tucking in
of the facility under the left hand lower side to compensate for loss of the
backyard area. In addition, the living and lower areas have generous deck
space and the owner believes the deck space is adequate compensation for
loss of a regular ground level patio space.
VC/Torng asked Mr. Shum if he could create additional fill or sacrifice some
of the upper level so that the structure would not appear so large and boxy.
Mr. Shum explained the project showing the plans and how the structure
would appear from the neighborhood view. The structure is compatible with
the neighborhood.
VC/Torng opened the public hearing
JANUARY 8, 2008
PAGE 6 PLANNING COMMISSION
Paul Miller, 1748 Derringer Lane, said that given the size of the project he
found it quite attractive with respect to elements and design. He believed fill
could be avoided by dropping the house down another 10 feet and moving it
back to the 35 -foot front yardalong H 50 foot froe also felt nt was tage. ge. �bhe could buplace

standards were constantly esi'ng expanded dards. with variances and wanted a
return to "The Country Esta
VC/Torng closed the public hearing.
C/Nolan asked for staff's comments on the City Code versus the concern
regarding CC&R's. Also, she did not in any way view the second unit as
"income" property. ACA/Wohlenberg explained that when projects come
before the Commission they are evaluated only to determine whether they
comply with the City's Codes. It is possible for a project to meet all City,
private of the associationich is a private enforcement
Codes and still violate the
issue amongst the members
VC/Torng said that when people invest in Diamond Bar it is a good thing.
However, he believed the Hillside Management Code should be imposed on
the project and that staff should then bring the project back to the
Commission for consideration. He did not want to over compensate the code
for the sake of the lot because this lot may not be that suitable for the size of
the proposed structure. He said he wanted to see other properties in the
area for comparison.
PC/Meyer responded to VC/Torng that he thought he provided the
alternatives and options with inclusion of the alternative designs. This design
meets the City's Development standards. The question is, does the
Commission want additional retaining walls and does the Commission
believe the import of an additional 3000 cubic yards of material meets the
development standard of preserving the naturaltop graphy.he quon He gain
explained the proposed project layout and proposed
s to
whether the design alternative would meet the development standard
t s rd
requirement. In terms of view impairment, all properties on the opposite
of Derringer (east side) are elevated and the applicant has provided a single -
story fagade to the street, which would not result in view impairment from the
existing dwelling units. The newer structures consist of an average of 6,000
square feet. PC/Meyer also explained market cost comparisons
to build a and stated
that it was not economically feasible to expect an applicant

square foot house on a $500,000 or $750,000 lot when 2000 square foot
homes were built on lots that sold for $15,000. With the topographical
challenges of the lot the architect has provided a product that meets the
City's standards.
VC/Torng said he was inclined to have further discussion about the final
compromise. PC/Meyer said he was not sure what additional alternative
VC/Torng was seeking. If the Commission wants to look at another design
alternative it could provide adequate direction to the architect and staff.
C/Nolan felt the variance was a good thing because it minimized cutting into
the hillside and gave the project a more natural look than providing a large
amount of fill, which would give the lot a more block look to the landscape.
And, she believed it was a beautiful house.
C/Nolan moved, C/Lee seconded to approve Development Review
No. 2206-29, Tree Permit No. 2006-06, Minor Variance No. 2006-04 and

TITLE: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2008 -XX ORDERING THE CITY
ENGINEER TO PREPARE AND TO FILE A REPORT RELATED
TO MAINTENANCE OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CITY
OF DIAMOND BAR LANDSCAPING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
NO. 38 AND ANY ASSESSMENT THEREON FOR FISCAL YEAR
2008-2009.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The cost of the assessment engineering services needed for the three Assessment
Districts totals $12,950 and is charged to each District proportionately; therefore, the
cost for Assessment District No. 38 is $4,000.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The City has an annual program for the maintenance of landscaping as well as open
space improvements, and intends to continue said program by special assessments
upon lands divided into three Districts within the City. Funds must be provided to
enable each District to continue their operation during the 2008-2009 Fiscal Year. Of
the City's three Districts, District 38 encompasses the whole City and is illustrated on
Exhibit "A-1" Map.
As part of this program update, the City must undergo a three step process. First, the
City initiates the process by adopting resolutions ordering the City Engineer to prepare
and file an engineer's report for each district. Second, the report is finalized and
presented to the City Council who, in turn, adopts resolutions of intention that are set for
a Public Hearing. Lastly, a Public Hearing is held at a City Council meeting where all
three Assessment Districts are approved and confirmed, resulting in the adoption of a
resolution confirming the levy of assessments. Throughout the entire process, all
proceedings for the maintenance of public improvements will be pursuant to the
provisions of the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 of Part 2 of Division 15 of the
Streets and Highways Code of the State of California.

TITLE: SECOND READING OF AN ORDI ANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
DIAMOND BAR ESTABLISHING VIDEO FRANCHISE FEES, PEG FEES, PENALTIES,
AND OTHER RELATED MATTERS FOR STATE VIDEO FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS
AND AMENDING THE DIAMOND BAR MUNICIPAL CODE
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve for second reading by title only, waive full reading, and adopt ordinance No. OX -2008.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION:
In 2006, the Governor signed the Digital Infrastructure and Video Competition Act (DIVCA), also
known as AB 2987, creating a new state franchising system for video service providers such as cable
companies like Time Warner and Comcast and new entrants to the market such as Verizon and
AT&T. While the implementation of this law may encourage competition in the market, it does take
overall franchising control away from local governments and placing it in the hands of the California
Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).
With the expiration of the City's franchise with Time Warner at the end of 2007, video service in
Diamond Bar is now governed by a state franchise. With this development, the City's current cable
franchising ordinance is out of date and in need of amendments to reflect the changes in state law.
While the City no longer has direct franchising authority, DIVCA maintains that cities may collect a
maximum 5% franchise fee on all gross revenues collected and the option to collect a 1% fee to
support PEG (public/educational/government) programming. It also sets forth that cities are
responsible for the enforcement of basic customer service requirements outlined in the franchise.
City staff has continued to monitor performance and maintains its efforts to assist residents in solving
any problems related to video service.
The attached ordinance and amendments to Section 13 of the City's Municipal Code have been
prepared by the City Attorney's office to incorporate and recognize these franchise fees and PEG
rates to ensure the City is entitled to receive the maximum share available. It also establishes
customer service provisions that require the franchisee to meet all state and federal laws governing
consumer protection and those customer service standards set forth in California Public Utilities Code
Section 5900. The section also provides for monetary damages in the event of a material breach of
these standards by a franchisee. It should be noted that if the City does impose a monetary penalty
for a breach, half of the penalty must be deposited in the state's Digital Divide Account established by
D I VCA.
Adoption of the attached ordinance and amendment will bring the City's code into accordance with
the new provisions of state law related to state video franchise agreements and ensures the City is
entitled to receive its maximum allotment of franchise and PEG fees.
The first reading of this ordinance was approved by the Council at the February 5, 2008 meeting.
Approval by the Council tonight will result in adoption of the ordinance.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The City has an annual program for the maintenance of landscaping and open space
improvements, and intends to continue the program by special assessments upon lands
within the City. On January 18, 2005, the Assessment Engineering Services contract
was awarded to GFB for three years. GFB has satisfactorily performed the assessment
engineering services for the City and has comprehensive knowledge of the City's
requirements. Further, GFB has extensive public finance experience that includes
forming and updating public finance district proceedings for various public agencies. As
such, staff recommends that the City continue the assessment engineering services
with GFB for a period of one (1) year.
Key tasks placed upon the assessment engineer include:
• Strategy Meeting to discuss assessment methodology, capital improvement
budgets, proposed operation and maintenance budgets, etc.
• Prepare Landscaping Inventory Map for each assessment district of areas to
be maintained.
• Prepare Engineer's Report which will contain the description of proposed
improvements, cost estimate, method of assessment, assessment roll, and
diagram.
• Attend Public Meetings and Public Hearings.
• Place Assessments on County Assessor's Roll and submit final rolls to the
City.
For FY 2008-2009, the proposed fee is $12,950. This represents an increase of $410
when compared to the costs of the previous year. The increase is based on the
proposed increases from GFB subcontractor Rapid Data who prepares the data
processing transmittal disks for the Los Angeles County Assessor's Office. The total
amount of the contract for one (1) year is $12,950.

Subject: Proposal to Provide Assessment Engineering Services for the FY 2008-09 Updates
of Landscaping Assessment District Nos. 38, 39 and 41 for the City of Diamond
Bar.
Dear Mr. Gallegos:
GFB-Friedrich & Assoc., Inc. (Consultant) is pleased to submit this proposal to provide
assessment engineering services to the City of Diamond Bar (City) for the FY 2008-09 updates
of the subject assessment districts. Consultant has been providing such assessment district
update services to the City since FY 1994-95 and is known to the City. Therefore, although
information about our firm can be provided at the City's request, Key Personnel, Related
Experience and References are not being provided with this proposal.
The maintenance to be financed includes landscape maintenance in public rights -of -ways such
as parkways, medians, slopes, mini parks and open space. Such maintenance includes
irrigation, fertilization, mowing, trimming, disease control, etc. and maintaining appurtenant
structures. Also included will be salaries for maintenance employees and/or contractors and the
cost of required tools, equipment and supplies.
This proposal takes into account the requirements and constraints imposed by the Brown Act
and Proposition 218. After Proposition 218 was approved by California voters, Assessment
District Nos. 38, 39 and 41 were each determined to be exempt from the provisions of
Proposition 218 as set forth in Article XIIID of the California Constitution. This proposal is
prepared with the assumption that no changes will take place in any of the assessment districts
that would cause mailed notices and assessment ballots to be necessary.
Proposed Scope of Services
Prepare request for CD-ROM of property owner information from Los Angeles County
Assessor (to be signed and submitted by City). One CD-ROM will cover all three
assessment districts.
2. Attend "kick-off" meeting with City staff (if necessary) to obtain existing data and maps
and to determine if the City has any revisions to these projects. In coordination with the

VIA: James DeStefano, City Mana
TITLE: RESCIND RESOLUTION NO. 9 Y56AND ADOPT RESOLUTION NO.
2008 -XX OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
INSTALLING 180 FEET OF RED CURB ALONG DIAMOND BAR
BOULEVARD SOUTH OF CURB RETURN AT CROOKED CREEK
DRIVE AND PERMITTING RESTRICTED PARKING BETWEEN 40
FEET SOUTH OF CURB RETURN AT CHERRYDALE DRIVE TO THE
NORTHERLY DRIVEWAY OF EVANGELICAL FREE CHURCH OF
DIAMOND BAR.
RECOMMENDATION:
Rescind Resolution No. 94-56 and Adopt Resolution No. 2008 -XX.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The recommended red curb installation could be accomplished through existing Public
Works programs and budgets.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The City received a complaint regarding unsafe egress from Cherrydale Drive due to
cars parked south of the curb return at Crooked Creek Drive along the southbound side
of Diamond Bar Boulevard. Cherrydale Drive is a residential cul-de-sac street that
intersects with Diamond Bar Boulevard. There have been resident complaints about the
lack of clear sight distance along Diamond Bar Boulevard as viewed from Cherrydale
Drive. Residents state that they have insufficient clear view of Diamond Bar Boulevard
traffic approaching from the north.
At the December 6, 1994 City Council Meeting, members of the Evangelical Free
Church of Diamond Bar requested permission to park along southbound Diamond Bar
Boulevard from 100' south of curb return at Crooked Creek Drive to the northerly
driveway of the church on Sundays. The Traffic and Transportation Commission
recommended to Council that the church request to park on the aforementioned
segment of Diamond Bar Boulevard be granted until the installation of a double left-
turn/intersection modification on southbound Diamond Bar Boulevard at Brea Canyon
Road commenced. Council agreed with the Commission's recommendation and
subsequently approved Resolution No. 94-56, which allowed parking along southbound
Diamond Bar Boulevard from 100' south of curb return at Crooked Creek Drive to the
northerly driveway of the church on Sunday from 6AM — 10PM and Wednesday from
8:30AM — 12:30PM and 6:45PM — 9:45PM.
Recently, staff completed a field study to measure the line of sight distance at the
intersection of Cherrydale Drive and Diamond Bar Boulevard. The line -of -sight is the
clear visible distance between an exiting vehicle and approaching traffic. A minimum
recommended line of sight can be calculated on the basis of sight -distance guidelines
that consider factors such as the speed of on -coming traffic and lane widths. The line -
of -sight distance for exiting Cherrydale Drive requires an additional 180' of red curb
south of curb return at Crooked Creek Drive along southbound Diamond Bar Boulevard.
The line -of -sight distance is illustrated in the attached Aerial Map.
On the basis of the safe -stopping sight distance calculated at the intersection, staff
recommends installing 180' of red curb along southbound Diamond Bar Boulevard
between Crooked Creek Drive and Cherrydale Drive. Restricted parking will continue to
be permitted along Diamond Bar Boulevard between 40 feet south of curb return at
Cherrydale Drive and the northerly driveway of Evangelical Free Church. Staff
maintains that the suggested red curbing will enhance safety in the area. Evangelical
Free Church has been informed of staff's recommendation; Pastor Mark Hopper has
discussed this with the residents and there is concurrence that the proposed change is
acceptable.

Budget. The City Council has also approved additional appropriations as they have occurred
throughout the year It is City policy for staff and the City Council to periodically review the annual
budget and make adjustment as deemed necessary.

$24,960,700. It is recommended that the resource estimate be increased by $1,087,769 to
$26,048,469. The current approved General Fund appropriations budget equals $23,134,587. It is
recommended that this budget be increased by $70,575 to $23,205,162. These recommended

General Fund Revenues:
When the FY07-08 Budget was adopted careful consideration went into the preparation of the
revenue estimates. There have been changes made to these estimates based on actual receipts and
changes in the economy.
The Other Taxes category was slightly increased due to higher than anticipated revenues from the
Sales Tax Compensation Fund. This revenue along with the revenues adjusted in the State
Subventions is related to the State's Triple Flip of property taxes, sales taxes and motor vehicle fees.
At the time of budget preparation the estimates were based on the previous year's revenue. The
actual revenues are coming in higher than anticipated. In addition the budget included an allocation
for the shift of ERAF funds. This will not be taking place this fiscal year.
There is a decrease in Fines and Forfeitures due to a reduction in anticipated false alarm fees. The
original $25,000 anticipated is not reasonable based on actual billings and receipts of revenue.
Planning Fees are being increased due to the anticipated receipt of fees related to the Aera Energy
development project. In addition the Brookfield homes project is being completed quicker than
anticipated resulting in higher developer fees being received.
Engineering Fees are being increased primarily due to the fiber optic service work that Verizon will be
completing in the City.
Transfers -in Other Funds is being increased to account for funds from Prop A — Safe Parks Act.
These funds were received this fiscal year as a reimbursement for the Youth Master plan
Implementation staff expenditures which were incurred in the previous two fiscal years.
General Fund Expenditures:
The changes to the General Fund expenditures are also outlined in Exhibit A. Highlights of the
changes in appropriations are:
• Special Legal Services has been increased to cover additional costs associated with
various lawsuits the City is currently involved in.
• Although there is no net change to the Information Systems budget, it is important to
note that there have been some savings in computer maintenance, contract services
and professional services. This enables the City to acquire specialized fire protection
equipment for the computer server room and fund the continuing purchase of imaging
data from the County.
• Public Information's budget has been increased to cover costs of the City's participation
in various events and continued advertising of the Diamond Bar Center in regional
publications and bus shelters.
• The Law Enforcement special events contract services has been increased to cover
costs related to the back filling of officers for training and the motorcycle officer
vacancy.
Agenda No. 6.8
Revised Page 3 of Report
Revised Page 3 — Mid Year Budget Report
• Animal Control's budget is being increased by $15,000 to cover the cost of the recently
approved animal shelter capital improvement project.
• Neighborhood Improvement has been increased to cover higher than anticipated graffiti
removal services.
There are a few changes to the Economic Development budget resulting in an over all
decrease of $75,000. There were several items included in the Professional Services
line item. There was $350,000 budgeted for economic development specific plans.
With the removal of the golf course development this item will be reduced to $275,000.
$20,000 will be reallocated to assist in the design of a new website for the Diamond Bar
Center, development of a business directory for the City's website and various other
business license outreach programs.
• Public Works contract services for industrial waste has been increased due to the
County's increased health inspections.
Earlier in the fiscal year it was decided that the City should purchase a mobile message
board to alert the public of major construction projects affecting traffic and to provide a
mechanism to broadcast other special information to the public. At that time funds
were moved from various line items to cover the cost. These funds are being replaced.
In addition the line item for signal maintenance is being increased due to higher than
anticipated costs.
There are brief explanations of all of the adjustments to the General Fund appropriations on page 3 of
Exhibit A.
Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) and Other Funds:
The Mid Year Budget Amendment includes changes to the City's CIP program resulting in a net
increase of $1,046,389. Of this amount, $978,389 will be funded with Prop 1 B Transportation Bond
funds. Prop 1B has a broad category of eligible uses. The following are the highlights of the changes
in the CIP program:
Project #23307 — Traffic Calming — Prospectors Road and Sunset Crossing involves the
construction of landscaped median islands and curb extensions which qualify for Prop 1 B
since these improvements will result in increased traffic safety. This project has been
enhanced to include additional medians, curb extensions and landscape improvements to
meet residents' expectations. As a result the budget is being increased to cover these
additional landscape and irrigation improvements. The increase of $220,000 will be covered
by Prop 9B Transportation Bond.
• Project #23207 — Interconnect Links — Phase I has been increased due to the change in the
material used from copper wire to fiber optic lines. Fiber optic lines require a separate conduit
from the traffic signal conduits which also adds to the cost. This change will allow for
increased data transmission and future expansion. The increase of $285,000 will be covered
by Prop C Funds.
• Project #23208 — Interconnect Links — Phase II has also been increased due to the change in
materials used similar to Phase I. Since this project is a necessary component to implement
the Traffic Management System and will improve traffic flow on the major arterials though out
the City, the increase of $465,000 will be covered by Prop 1 B.
• Project #01408 — Slurry Seal/Overlay Area 4 contains roadways that have been observed to
be in worse condition than previously thought. The original budget was based upon the City's
Pavement Management System report that was based on conditions observed in 2004. At this
time the budget is being increased by $73,389 from the General Fund.
• Project #23908 — Zone 2 Arterial Slurry Seal contains roadways that have been observed to be
in worse condition than previously thought. The original budget was based upon the City's
Pavement Management System report that was based on conditions observed in 2004. Since
this reduces the deterioration of the City's arterial roadway network this project is eligible for
funding with Prop 1 B funds. The project will be funded with a combination of General Fund
and Prop 1 B Funds. The General Fund's portion has been reduced by $73,389 to $276,611
and the Prop 1 B's portion will be $293,389 for a total of $570,000.
• Project #24908 — Traffic Management System is being increased to cover the acquisition of
network communications equipment which is being reimbursed by the County.
• Project #22907 - Brea Canyon Road/Golden Springs Traffic Signal Modifications budget is
increased to add a missing interconnect link. This increase is covered by Prop C Funds.
• Project #23107 — Golden Springs at Racquet Club Traffic Signal Modifications incurred
additional costs due to Edison service requirement and relocation of Edison facility. This
increase is covered by Prop C Funds.
• Project #22408 — Brea Canyon Road and Pathfinder Traffic Signal Modifications is being
reduced by $20,000 since the design was completed in the previous fiscal year.
• Project #24508 — Brea Canyon Road and Diamond Bar Blvd. Traffic Signal Modifications is
being reduced by $25,000 due to a reduced scope and the fact that some of the traffic signal
components are in better condition than anticipated.
• Project #24608 — Golden Springs and Lemon Traffic Signal Modifications is being reduced by
$40,000 due to a reduced scope and the fact that some of the traffic signal components are in
better condition than anticipated.
• Project #25408 — Grand Ave Beautification — Montefino to Eastern City Limits is being deferred
until next fiscal year. The design will be completed this year. As a result the budget is being
reduced by $250,000.
0
• Project #21706 — Trail Access — Diamond Bar Center/Clear Creek at Steep Canyon is being
increased by $5,000 due to the award of a grant from Waste Management's 2008 Great
American Clean Up Awards.
Prop A Transit Fund
Increases in the Prop A Transit Fund are a reflection of the popularity of the City's transit subsidy
program and dial -a -cab program. Each of these programs continues to grow as traffic increases and
fuel cost rise.
Prop C and Prop 1 B Funds
These budgets have been adjusted according to the changes in the CIP plan.
Prop A - Safe Parks Fund
There are two components of the changes to this fund:
The first is the receipt of $1,062,895 this fiscal year which reimbursed the City for expenses incurred
in prior years. Of this amount $795,000 was received for the Sycamore Canyon Park improvement
project, $120,261 was received for the Sycamore Canyon Trailhead project and the balance of
$147,634 was to fund the staff expenses related to the implementation of the Youth Master Plan.
The second component is the budgeting funds to help meet the criteria for "Youth Employment Goals"
for the L.A. County Safe Parks Act program. The budget of $19,600 will be used to contract with the
California Conservation Corp. to repair the trails at the Diamond Bar Center, clear the Summitridge
Park Trail and remove graffiti at Sycamore Canyon Park.
