CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
MEMORANDUM
To: Honorable Mayor& Members of the City Council
From: James DeStefano, City Manak5e
k:)r�
Date: April 19, 2011
SUBJECT: FY 2011-2012 Council Goals & Objectives Recommendations
I
In anticipation of the upcoming FY 11-12 municipal budget discussion, staff reviewed
the adopted list and compiled a series of recommended changes or edits based on the
current status of each item.
EY 2010-2011 City Council Goals & Objectives
1. Traffic Mitigation
® Pursue the 57/60 Freeway Interchange corridor long-term "final fix" and present
an annual status report to the Council. Work with federal representatives to
ensure the project is on the next Transportation Reauthorization Bill known as
"Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21)".
No change recommended.
. Participate in the development of SCAG's Regional Goods Movement Plan to
ensure the plan is equitable in its distribution of goods movement related traffic.
No change recommended.
® Develop the Four Corners Transportation Coalition (FCTC) and implement the
four priority projects as identified by the Coalition.
The FCTC has evolved and is now known as the "Four Corners Coalition
(FCC)". The FCC will now focus on regional economic development
opportunities and legislative interests while the existing Four Corners Policy
Group will advocate for transportation solutions. To properly reflect this change,
staff recommends this existing item be modified with the following language:
Maintain participation in the Four Corners Policy Group and Four Corners
Coalition to advocate for regional transportation, economic development, and
legislative solutions.
• Support and participate in the completion of the Lemon Avenue on and off ramp
project.
No change recommended.
• Monitor and evaluate the Neighborhood Traffic Management Plan solutions, the
Traffic Signal Interconnect project, and the DB Traffic Management System
(TMS).
Given the completion of the Traffic Signal Interconnect project in FY 09-10, staff
recommends this existing item be modified with the following language:
Monitor and evaluate the Neighborhood Traffic Management Plan and DB Traffic
Management System (TMS) and their impacts on arterial and neighborhood
traffic flow congestion relief.
2. Fiscal Responsibility/Economic Development
Create a long-term City-wide financial plan for preservation of the City's fixed
assets, including infrastructure, buildings, parks, and other facilities.
No change recommended.
• Develop incentive-based Specific Plans,to revitalize areas such as K-Mart and
Market World.
No change recommended.
• Adopt and market a Specific Plan for the future use of the 28 acre parcel at
Diamond Bar Blvd. and Brea Canyon Road (Site D).
Given recent Council direction to pursue a 100% residential project with a
neighborhood park, it is recommended this item be eliminated from the Goals &
Objectives list.
• Identify and implement development opportunities for the former Honda
dealership property that will result in the greatest net benefit to the community.
No change recommended.
• Develop a plan to address the needs of the City's Lighting and Landscape
Assessment Districts to ensure their financial sustainability.
No change recommended.
2
3. Communications
• Encourage public participation and communication and collect scientifically valid
data to gauge community interest and opinion of potentially significant projects
and programs.
Given that the City may not communicate via data collection/surveys in the
coming year, revise language to encompass new/other communication methods,
as follows:
In addition to public meetings, encourage resident participation through open and
expanded communication methods, including electronic and social media and the
collection of scientifically valid opinion data.
4. Other Items
• Update the City's Solid Waste Ordinance
Since this item was completed in 2010, it is recommended this item be eliminated
from the Goals & Objectives list.
• Preserve Windmill structure located at the Ralph's Shopping Center via
maintenance and/or ownership of structure and/or property.
Due to the property owner's unwillingness to work with the City (after several
attempts and many strategies) or sell the property, it is recommended this item
be eliminated from the Goals & Objectives list.
• Develop a City-wide branding plan that incorporates standard design elements
with a unifying theme that reflects the image of Diamond Bar.
No change recommended.
• Establish a "quiet zone" on the Metrolink train line at Lemon Avenue near
Walnut Elementary School.
Since this item is included in the City's NFL Stadium Agreement with the City of
Industry, it is recommended this item be eliminated from the Goals & Objectives
list. In the event the stadium project is moved to the downtown LA area, the item
can be placed back on a future Goals & Objectives list.
• Develop and implement appropriate sustainability programs identified in the
Council's sustainability report.
To more accurately reflect the City's current environmental and sustainability
3
practices following the 2008 sustainability report, it is recommended this item be
revised as follows:
Develop and implement fiscally.responsible environmental/sustainability
programs.
•_ Complete design, construction, and building preparation necessary to relocate
City Hall to the new facility by mid-2011.
Staff recommends the item be amended as follows to properly reflect current
project completion timelines:
Complete design, construction, and building preparation necessary to relocate
City Hall to the new facility by January 2012.
• Work with the County/County Library to reach a firm agreement to relocate the
current library to the new City Hall facility.
Staff recommends the item be amended as follows to properly reflect current
progress:
Work with the County/County Library to reach a final written agreement and
relocate the current library to the new City Hall facility by October 2012.
• Develop contingency plans for the first floor space should the County Library
choose not to relocate to the new City Hall facility.
Due to the County Supervisor's recent official public commitment to funding the
new Library project, it is recommended this item be eliminated from the Goals &
Objectives list.
5. New Items Recommended by Staff for FY 11-12
• In the "Traffic Mitigation" category:
Monitor state high speed and light rail proposals to ensure they do not adversely
impact Diamond Bar.
• In the "Other Items" category:
Begin implementation of the approved Housing Element by completing
necessary Development Code and General Plan amendments.

CITY COUNCILMAGENDA REPORT
'URPow'- w
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA: James DeStefano, City Mana
TITLE: Selection of Finish Material for tCiit Hall
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve.
CITY HALL:
In August 2010, the City contracted with LPA, Inc., an architectural firm, to provide
design services for the City Hall and County Library project. Since that time, City staff
has been working to complete the design and construction documents for City Hall. As
part of that process, the City is required to provide the architect with direction as to the
type of finishes (carpet, wood trim, paint, etc.) that should be included in the project.
To help establish the type and style of the finish material for City Hall, the City created a
committee of select employees representing various departments. The Committee
worked with the architect over several weeks reviewing sample materials and colors,
and has selected two different color palettes. The group identified a preferred palette as
well as an alternate palette both of which will be presented to the Council at the study
session.
All of the finish materials included in the Committee's recommendation are within the
project budget. However, staff would like to recommend the Council authorize the
architect to include "add alternates" in the construction documents for some
components of the finish material. For example, the staff would like to consider tile as
part of the City Hall lobby for durability and ease of maintenance rather than carpet.
The cost to purchase and install tile in the lobby/public counter area will most likely
exceed the project budget for flooring material. By bidding it as an "add alternate" the
contractors will provide a specific cost for this upgrade and the Council can determine,
at the time of award of contract, if it would prefer tile over carpet for this area. This will
be discussed in greater detail at the study session.
LIBRARY
Since the County is funding the new library's construction, it is appropriate for County
.staff to determine the appropriate finish material for the facility. However, since the
Library will be located within a City-owned and maintained building, City staff also
participated in the selection of that material, meeting several times with the County
Librarian to review sample materials and select a palette of finishes for inclusion in the
project. The chosen palette will be presented to the Council by the architect later
tonight.
NEXT STEPS
The architect is currently completing design. The City was provided with a 65%
complete construction document set earlier this month and we are providing comments
to the architect. This design set has also been provided to the City's Building and
Safety Division for review and comment. In addition, we are working on the design of
the fire sprinkler system that was approved by the Council on April Stn
It is anticipated that the construction documents and specifications will be completed in
May. The project will be bid in June and the Council will award the construction contract
on July 5t". The construction of the City Hall portion of the project will be complete
approximately 18-24 weeks after award of contract.

INTERCHANGE.
CDD/Gubman reported that on March 1St the City Council adopted
Ordinance No. 03(2011) placing a 45-day moratorium on the former
Honda property to ensure that uses which failed to further the City's
economic development goals are not established while the City prepares
an appropriate land-use strategy for the site. Since the 45-day
moratorium went into effect, staff has had discussions with the property
owner as well as selecting Kaiser Marsden Associates to prepare a
Market Opportunities Analysis for the property. To allow additional time to
study this matter and then develop an appropriate land use strategy that
may include an amendment to the zoning regulations applicable to the
Honda property, staff recommends that the City Council extend the
Urgency Ordinance for an additional 10-months, 15-days as permitted by
Government Code § 65858.

APRIL 5, 2011 PAGE 5 CITY COUNCIL
9. COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS/COUNCIL MEMBER COMMENTS:
C/Tanaka thanked the Bag Buster class for their presentation. He attended the
Pomona's Host Lion Club's 90th Annual Celebration. President Gilbert Morris
from Los Angeles Host Lion's Club attended the event who hosted the Pomona
Lion's Club 90 years ago. The Diamond Bar connection is that the Pomona Host
Lion's Club hosted the Diamond Bar Breakfast Lions Club celebration 35 years
ago. On Sunday he attended the 44th Annual Miss Diamond Bar Pageant. He
congratulated 2011 Miss Diamond Bar Stephanie Turner and Princess's Cassie
Amato, Sabrina Bawa, Sara Kashe and Rachel Scott. Saturday he attended the
Aye Chihuahua Dog Walk at the Lorbeer Middle School track. On Tuesday the
California Parks and Recreation Society District 13 held its Installation and
Awards Dinner at the Diamond Bar Center. He congratulated staff member April
Batson who was awarded a scholarship; the City was recognized for its "Going
Green" Award; the D.B. Senior Citizens Club was recognized for its community
service and Andee Tarazon was installed as the new 2011 Vice President for
Dist. 13.
C/Evereft spoke about his jury service. He stated that he enjoyed the Miss
Diamond Bar Beauty Pageant and congratulated Stephanie Turner who served
on the court last year. On Saturday he attended the Law Day Conference and
Workshop held at the AQMD. He, M/Tye and their wives attended the benefits
concert to raise money for the Diamond Bar Community Foundation during which
groups from DBHS, DRHS and Pacific Crest Drum & Bugle Corp provided
entertainment. He spoke about the Mt. SAC World Class Track Competition that
is 26 years old and precedes the Mt. SAC relays which is 51 years old. The 53rd
annual Mt. SAC relays will be held on April 14, 15 and 16 sponsored by the LA
84 Foundation dedicated to the development of youth sport. C/Everett
commented that when he was first appointed to Council he received a letter of
congratulations from Al Rumpilla who had encouraged him to remain open and
available to the residents. C/Evereft spoke about Mr. Rumpilla's patriotism and
advocacy, especially with respect to Diamond Ride and the City. His prayers go
to Al's wife and children and said he was pleased to enjoy the legacy of a man
who lived life well.
C/Herrera said that the City is very sad at the passing of Al Rumpilla whom she
has known for a number of years. Mr. Rumpilla was very proud of the things he
stood for and the activities that he participated in. He was particularly proud that
he was President of the Gadfly Association and would frequently attend Council
Meetings along with other Gadfly Association members. He would stand at the
microphone during meetings and asked very pointed questions about different
items on the agenda while holding everyone accountable. Mr. Rumpilla was
often referred to as a community leader and some referred to him as the "sixth"
Council Member which pleased him greatly that he was given such great stature.
Al was very ill in his last years and she requested that tonight's meeting be
adjourned in memory of Al Rumpilla. C/Herrera went on to state that as the
City's representative to Foothill Transit, she had previously spoken about the
APRIL 5, 2011 PAGE 6 CITY COUNCIL
Eco-liner bus with three currently running from the City of Pomona to Laverne
and back. This bus is a finalist at the International Association of Public
Transport Conference at the 59th Annual World Congress and Exhibition running
from April 10 through April 14 with the awards ceremony being held in Dubai.
Unfortunately, she cannot attend but if the bus wins the distinction she will be
very proud to report that fact to her constituents. As she previously reported,
Foothill Transit received a $10.2 million grant from the Federal Government to
build more all-electric buses. C/Herrera stated that at the Metrolink station on
Brea Canyon Road, in the City of Industry, Foothill Transit will participate with the
City of Industry to build a five-story 500 space Park 'n Ride in the corner of the
lot. In addition, Industry will build carports with rooftop solar panels in other
sections of the parking lot that will generate energy for Edison as well as, provide
charging stations for electric cars. Foothill is very proud of this effort to be more
"green" and provide and promote participation in more public transportation
which will in turn mean fewer cars on the road and cleaner air.
MPT/Chang reminded everyone they can follow her activities on Twitter and
Facebook. She too is deeply saddened about the passing of Al Rumpilla. She
was able to meet with him prior to her election to the Council and Mr. Rumpilla
offered her a lot of valuable advice. She congratulated C/Herrera on her
appointment as the SCAG District 37 representative. She welcomed Lt. Steve
Katz and knew he would do a great job for the City. She commended Bag
Busters for a great presentation encouraging residents to use reusable bags and
felt the option of creating a bag with used T-Shirts is the better option. The City
has been very pro-active about going "green," and encourages recycling and for
residents to be good stewards of the environment.
M/Tye echoed sentiments of his colleagues who attended the Diamond Bar
Community Foundation's Spotlight on the Arts on March 19. He imagined that in
the near future the Sophia B. Clark Theater at Mt. SAC will not be big enough to
hold that event. It is great to see the kids from DBHS and DRHS as well as, the
young men and women of Pacific Crest perform and incredibly exciting to see the
band directors and conductors who did a spectacular job. He congratulated
Stephanie Turner on being named Miss Diamond Bar 2011. He welcomed Lt.
Steve Katz. He hoped to see everyone on Sunday at the 18th Annual Friends of
the Library Wine Soiree from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Diamond Bar Center.
Every penny raised goes directly to,the Library that the City enjoys and everyone
is hoping that the library will be downstairs from the new City Hall sometime this
year. He hoped everyone looked forward to participating in the City's 22nd
Birthday Celebration at Pantera Park on the following weekend. This weekend
Northminster Presbyterian Church at Rancheria and Golden Springs will host an
e-waste collection event. He thanked staff so much for putting together the
flawless State of the City event. Tonight's meeting will be adjourned in memory
of Al Rumpilla.
With no further business to conduct, M/Tye recessed the Regular City Council
meeting back to Closed Session at 7:58 p.m.
APRIL 5, 2011 PAGE 7 CITY COUNCIL
ADJOURNMENT: M/Tye reconvened the Regular Meeting at 8:34 p.m.
in Room CC-8 where CA/Jenkins announced that the City Council voted unanimously to

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
1959
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA: James DeStefano, City Man
TITLE: 2008-2014 Housing Element pdate (General Plan Amendment
No. PL 2011-43)
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2011-XX.
OVERVIEW:
Under state law, Diamond Bar is required to update its General Plan Housing Element
for the 2008-2014 planning period. A preliminary Draft Housing Element was prepared
by staff and reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council during 2008-09.
Following the Commission and Council's review, the Draft Housing Element was
submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD). After a series of discussions between City staff and HCD, and revisions to the
draft element, HCD issued a letter on January 18, 2011, stating that the draft element
addresses all statutory requirements. On March 22, 2011, the Planning Commission
conducted a public hearing and approved a resolution recommending City Council
adoption of the Housing Element. No public comments were submitted at the Planning
Commission hearing. City Council adoption of the Housing Element is necessary in
order to receive final certification from HCD.
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution (Attachment 1)
approving the 2008-2014 Housing Element.
BACKGROUND:
The Housing Element is one of the seven mandated elements of the General Plan, and
establishes goals, policies, and programs related to improving and expanding the City's
housing supply for all economic segments of the community. Every city and county in
California is required by state law to update its Housing Element periodically. The law
also requires that the Housing Element be reviewed by the California Department of
Housing and Community Development ("HCD") and that HCD provide its findings to the
local agency.
The Housing Element includes the following topics:
• An analysis of the City's demographic and housing characteristics and trends, and
an evaluation of the nature and extent of specific housing needs within the City;
• A review of resources and opportunities related to the development and
improvement of housing, especially housing that is affordable to lower-income
households;
• An examination of potential constraints affecting the construction of new housing
units, and the maintenance and improvement of the City's existing housing stock,
including market mechanisms, government programs and regulations, and
infrastructure constraints; and
• A Housing Plan that establishes programs and strategies to achieve the City's
housing goals through 2014.
A key component of the Housing Element update process is the identification of housing
needs due to projected population growth during the 2008-2014 planning period. This
process is known as the Regional Housing Needs Assessment ("RHNA"). The
Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) has the responsibility for
determining the number of new housing units needed to accommodate projected
population growth for each city and county in the region. Diamond Bar's share of the
region's growth need was identified as 1,090 new housing units distributed among the
following income categories:

City of Diamond Bar
Very I Above
Low Low Moderate Moderate Total
284 179 188 440 1,090
Source:SCAG 2007
The RHNA is a planning target, not a development quota. As part of the Housing
Element update, each city is required to analyze the potential development capacity of
vacant or underutilized sites and identify an "inventory" of parcels at appropriate
densities that could accommodate the RHNA allocation for new housing units. As
discussed in more detail below, the Housing Element's analysis of potential
development sites concluded that there is currently insufficient capacity to
accommodate the City's RHNA allocation in the very low and low categories. As a
result, the City is required to create additional opportunities for affordable housing
through a rezoning program. State law recognizes that cities generally do not build
housing, and while cities are not required to achieve their RHNA targets, they are
2008-2014 HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE PAGE 2
required to rezone land if there is not adequate capacity to accommodate the number
and type of housing units allocated in the RHNA.
HOUSING ELEMENT REVIEW BY HCD:
State law' mandates that cities submit draft Housing Elements to HCD prior to adoption,
and requires HCD to determine whether the draft element substantially complies with
the requirements of state law. This requirement is unique to the Housing Element of the
General Plan in that no other general plan element is subject to such a determination by
an external agency. Prior to adoption of the draft Housing Element, the Planning
Commission and City Council must consider HCD's findings. A finding of substantial
compliance by HCD is referred to as Housing Element "certification." Certification is
important in order to preserve local land use control, avoid a "carryover" of housing
needs into the next planning period, and maintain eligibility for certain grant funding
programs.
The first draft of the Diamond Bar Housing Element was submitted to HCD on
September 19, 2008, and the first HCD review letter was received on October 21, 2008
(Attachment 2). A revised draft Housing Element responding to HCD comments was
prepared and submitted to HCD on June 1, 2009, and the second HCD review letter
was received on August 4, 2009 (Attachment 3). Following additional revisions, a third
draft Housing Element was submitted to HCD on May 24, 2010, and on July 22, 2010,
the third HCD review letter was received (Attachment 4). Additional revisions were
made to address remaining HCD comments and a fourth draft Housing Element was
submitted to HCD on November 19, 2010. On January 18, 2011, the fourth HCD review
letter (Attachment 5) was received stating that the draft element addresses the
requirements of state law.
As is the case with most jurisdictions, the key issue in obtaining HCD approval was
demonstrating that adequate sites will be made available to accommodate the City's
RHNA allocation. Diamond Bar's RHNA for lower-income households in the 2008-2014
forecast period is 466 un itS2. Under state law, a density of at least 30 units per acre is
considered necessary to facilitate development of affordable housing in metropolitan
areas. Therefore, a total of 15.6 acres of land is needed at a density of 30 units per
acre to accommodate the lower-income RHNA. Since there are currently no potential
residential development sites allowing this density, at least 15.6 acres of land must be
rezoned to allow multi-family development at 30 units per acre.
HOUSING ELEMENT IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS:
The Draft Housing Element (Appendix B, Table B-2 on p. B-5) identifies potential sites
for rezoning to meet the City's needs. These sites are located in Planning Area 1 of the
1 California Government Code Section 65585
2 In addition to 463 units identified in the RHNA, 3 lower-income units were assigned as part of an
annexation agreement between Diamond Bar and the County of Los Angeles that included a RHNA
transfer of 8 units (Annexation 2007-20).
2008-2014 HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE PAGE 3
Tres Hermanos Specific Plan, near Diamond Ranch High School (see Figure B-2 on
p. B-6). The total area of the parcels from which the potential rezoning sites would be
selected is approximately 112 acres. Program 9 (Chapter V, p. V-8) contains a
commitment to rezone at least 15.6 acres in order to accommodate a minimum of 466
multi-family housing units with a density of 30 units/acre.
It is important to note that the Housing Element itself would not change any zoning or
General Plan land use designations. Following adoption of the Housing Element, the
City will initiate the environmental studies needed to assist the Planning Commission
and City Council in identifying the appropriate sites to be rezoned. Those zone changes
will be subject to review by the Planning Commission and City Council at public
hearings, including thorough CEQA review.
In addition to the zone changes noted above, other implementation actions would also
require subsequent review and approval by the Planning Commission and City Council,
including Municipal Code amendments in the following areas:
• Allow emergency shelters in the RM District subject to appropriate development
standards (Program 12, p. V-10)
Clarify that transitional / supportive housing is a residential use subject to the same
development standards and procedures as other residential uses of the same type in
the same zone (Program 12, p. V-10)
• Amend the City's density bonus regulations in conformance with state law (Program
14, p. V-11)
• Establish procedures for reviewing requests for reasonable accommodation by
persons with disabilities (Program 17, p. V-13)3
COMPLIANCE WITH CEQA:
CEQA review of the Housing Element addressed policies and programs intended to
preserve and improve the existing housing stock, address special needs, and
accommodate the City's fair share of regional growth needs. Some Housing Element
implementation actions such as site-specific zone changes (Program 9) will require
additional analysis prior to selection of the sites to be rezoned, therefore, detailed
analysis of the environmental impacts that would result from those zone changes would
be speculative at this time. A subsequent CEQA review process will be conducted as
part of the selection of appropriate sites for rezoning. No zoning designations would be
changed by adoption of the Housing Element.
A Draft Initial Study/Negative Declaration for the proposed Draft Housing Element was
prepared and posted for 30-day public review on February 18, 2011. The Draft

Negative Declaration concluded that the adoption of the Housing Element would not
have a significant effect on the environment. One comment letter on the Draft IS/ND
was received from Caltrans (Attachment 6). In its letter, Caltrans requested that the
City provide the opportunity to review subsequent Housing Element implementation
projects such as zone changes. No other comments on the Negative Declaration were.
received.
PUBLIC NOTICE:

Study/Negative Declaration were posted on the City's website on February 18, 2011,
and will remain posted online throughout the Planning Commission and City Council
hearing process. Hardcopies of these documents were previously forwarded to the City
Council, and are available for review at City Hall.

Thank you for submitting Diamond Bar's housing element received for the Department's
review on September 19, 2008. The Department is required to review draft housing
elements and report the findings to the locality pursuant to Government Code
Section 65585(b). A telephone conversation with you and Mr. John Douglas, the City's
consultant, facilitated the review.
The draft element addresses many statutory requirements; however, revisions will be
necessary to comply with State housing element law (Article 10.6 of the Government
Code). In particular, the element should include analyses of the adequacy of identified
sites to accommodate the regional housing need for lower-income households and revise
programs to address identified housing needs. The enclosed Appendix describes these
and other revisions needed to comply with State housing element law.
The Department hopes these comments are helpful and would be happy to arrange a
meeting in either Diamond Bar or Sacramento to provide any assistance needed to
facilitate your efforts to bring the element into compliance. If you have any questions or
would like assistance, please contact James Johnson, of our staff, at (916) 323-7271.
Sincerely,
Cathy E. Creswell
Deputy Director

APPENDIX
CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
The following changes would bring Diamond Bar's housing element into compliance with
Article 10.6 of the Government Code. Accompanying each recommended change, we cite the
supporting section of the Government Code.
Housing element technical assistance information is available on the Department's website at
www.hcd.ca..qov/hpd. Refer to the Division of Housing Policy Development and the section
pertaining to State Housing Planning. Among other resources, the Housing Element section
contains the Department's latest technical assistance tool Building Blocks for Effective Housing
Elements (Building Blocks) available at hftp://www.hcd.ca.gov/hr)d/housing element/index.html, the
Department's publication, Housing Element Questions and Answers (Qs & As), and the
Government Code addressing State housing element law and other resources.
A. Housing Needs, Resources, and Constraints
1. Include an analysis and documentation of household characteristics, including /eve/of
payment compared to ability to pay, housing characteristics, including overcrowding,
and housing stock condition (Section 65583(a)(2)).
While the element provides information on lower-income households overpaying, it
should also include information on all households overpaying in Diamond Bar. In
addition, given the extent of overpayment for lower-income renters, the element should
include a.specific analysis of the needs and resources available for these households.
For your information, CHAS Data indicates 3,061 (38.7 percent) renters and 14,604
(34.1 percent) owners are overpaying in Diamond Bar.
2. Include an inventory of land suitable for residential development, including vacant sites
and sites having the potential for redevelopment, and an analysis of the relationship of
zoning and public facilities and services to these sites (Section 65583(a)(3)). The
inventory of land suitable for residential development shall be used to identify sites that
can be developed for housing within the planning period (Section 65583.2).
Diamond Bar has a regional housing need allocation (RHNA) of 1090 units with
284 units allocated for lower-income households. The element must include parcel
specific inventory of potential sites for rezoning with all relevant analysis. While the
element acknowledges a shortfall of sites to accommodate the City's regional need for
lower-income households and includes Program 9 (page V-7) to address the need, it
still must identify and analyze the adequacy potential rezone sites.
In addition, to demonstrate the adequacy of sites identified in Table B-1, the element
should be revised as follows:
Realistic Capacity: The element must demonstrate how the residential development
capacity of sites identified were determined. If the City has established a minimum
density regulation, the element may use the minimum density for the site capacity
calculation. Otherwise, the element should describe the methodology used in
calculation of anticipated capacity on the identified sites. For non-residential sites, the
- 2 -
residential capacity estimates should consider the extent to which non-residential uses
are allowed and any performance standards. This analysis must adjust the calculation
based on land-use controls and site improvements and could also incorporate typically
built densities of the community.
To address the identified shortfall of sites to accommodate the City's remaining regional
need, particularly for lower-income households, in addition to the sites identified in the
inventory, the City could consider additional strategies to increase total residential
development capacity of sites within the existing City boundaries, including identifying
opportunities for redevelopment or mixed-use development, such as those sites within
the City's two mixed-use planning areas (page IV-2). For additional information on
these strategies and needed analysis required to demonstrate the adequacy of City
actions to address the City's shortfall of sites, refer to the Building Blocks'section on
Sites Inventory and Analysis at http://www.hcd.ca.gov/hpd/housing elemenOSIA zoning php.
Environmental Constraints: In the element (page IV-13), the City states a large portion
of available land is located upon steep slopes, some of which have a potential for
landslide hazards. The element should detail whether the sites identified in the land
inventory are affected by the slopes and the impact on the supply and affordability of
housing.
Sites with Zoning for a Variety of Housing Types: The housing element must
demonstrate the.availability of sites, with appropriate zoning, that-will encourage and
facilitate a variety of housing types including supportive. housing, emergency shelters,
and transitional housing. An adequate analysis should, at a minimum, identify whether
and how zoning districts explicitly allow the uses, analyze whether zoning, development
standards and permit procedures encourage and facilitate these housing types. If the
analysis does not demonstrate adequate zoning for these housing types, the element
must include implementation actions to provide appropriate zoning.
Emergency Shelters: Please note, the City must comply with Chapter 633,
Statutes of 2007 (SB 2), requiring, among other things, the identification of at least
one zone(s) where emergency shelters are permitted without a conditional use permit
(CUP) or other discretionary action within one year of the beginning of the planning
period. To address this requirement, the City could amend an existing zoning district,
establish a new zoning district or an overlay zone for an existing zoning district. While
the element includes zones RM, RMH and RH as areas where emergency shelters are
allowed by-right or with a CUP depending on the number of persons served (page IV-4),
the element must identify zones where emergency shelters will be allowed by-right
regardless of size and provide information to demonstrate the appropriateness of the
zone to accommodate the City's identified need for emergency shelters. For example,
the zone must provide sufficient opportunities for at least one new emergency shelter in
the planning period and consider opportunities available in suitable locations near
services and facilities. In addition, the element must demonstrate that existing or
proposed permit processing, development, and management standards encourage and
facilitate the development of, or conversion to, emergency shelters. A memo on SB 2
describing the new requirements is available on the Department's website at
http://www.hcd.ca.gov/hpd/sb2 memo05O7O8 pdf.
- 3 -
Transitional and Supportive Housing: The element states transitional and supportive
housing of seven or more persons requires a CUP (page IV-4). Pursuant to S13 2,
transitional and supportive housing must be treated as residential use and subject to the
same permitting processes as other housing in the subject zone (e.g., multifamily
housing, group homes, etc.) without undue special regulatory requirements. The
element must be revised to describe zones which allow these uses pursuant to State
law and include any necessary program actions to allow for these uses in the identified
zones within the planning period.
3. Analyze potential and actual governmental constraints upon the maintenance,
improvement, and development of housing for all income levels, including land use
controls,.building codes and their enforcement, site improvements, fees and other
exactions required of developers, and local processing and permit procedures. The
analysis shall also demonstrate local efforts to remove governmental constraints that
hinder the locality from meeting its share of the regional housing need in accordance
with Section 65584 (Section 65583(a)(5)).
Land Use and Controls: While the element lists zoning and development standards
(page IV-4), it should also analyze these standards for their impact on the supply and
affordability of housing, especially multifamily housing. For example, the element
should evaluate the cumulative effect of development standards such as height limits,
lot coverage, minimum floor areas, parking requirements, performance standards and
minimum floor areas on the ability to achieve maximum permitted densities and on the
supply and affordability of housing. In addition, the element should evaluate the impact
of garage requirements for multifamily housing. Refer to the sample analysis in the
Building Blocks' website at hftp://www.hcd.ca.gov/hpd/housing element2/CON landuse.php.
Fees and Exaction: While the element provides "Planning and Development Fees"
(Table IV-6), listing some planning costs, a more detailed analysis is necessary to
evaluate the impact of the City's fees. This analysis should identify total typical fees
(planning and impact) for both single- and multi-family housing. For additional
information, please refer to the sample analysis in the Building Blocks'section on Fees
and Exactions at http://www.hcd.ca.gov/hpd/housing element2/CON landuse.php.
Permit Processing and Procedures: The element states a development review
application is required for all developments with four or more units (page IV-10), but
provides no information on the process. The element should include a detailed analysis
of the development review guidelines and p'rocess, including better identifying
requirements and approval procedures and analyzing the impact of the guidelines and
process on housing costs and approval certainty. The analysis should also include
typical approval times for single- and multi-family projects. Based on the outcomes of
this analysis, the element may need to add programs to address the guidelines as a
constraint. For additional information, refer to the sample analysis in the Building
Blocks'section on Permit Processing and Procedures at
http://www.hcd.ca.gov/hpd/housing elementVCON permits.php.
- 4 -
On/Off-Site Improvements: The element did not address this statutory requirement.
The element must be revised to describe and analyze specific on- and off-site
improvements for residential development such as requirements for street widths,
sidewalks, water and sewer connections and circulation improvements required for
residential developments and assess their impact on the cost and supply of housing.
Constraints on Persons with Disabilities: While the element states Diamond Bar
adopted the 2007 building code in which incorporate accessibility standards contained
in Title 24 and a streamline review of design modification to improve accessibility, it
must include a detailed analysis of zoning, development standards and approval
procedures for the development of housing for persons with disabilities and include
programs as appropriate to address any identified constraints. For example, among
other things, the element should identify and analyze the following:
® Any definition of family in the zoning code.
® Reasonable accommodation ordinance, if so describe the process.
0 Any siting or concentration requirements for residential care facilities.
Please refer to the Building Blocks'section on Constraints for Persons with Disabilities
at hftp://www.hcd.ca.gov/hpd/housing element/screen27 sb520.pd .
4. Analyze the opportunities for energy conservation with respect to residential
development (Section 65583(a)(8)).
The element includes a general description of Title 24 requirements and states as new
infill development and rehabilitation activities occur the City could directly affect energy
use within its jurisdiction (page 111-6), but includes no information on the City's efforts to
address energy conservation goals. Given the importance of promoting strategies to
address climate change and energy conservation, the City's analysis could facilitate
adoption of housing and land-use policies and programs in the housing element that
meet housing and conservation objectives. Planning to maximize energy efficiency and
the incorporation of energy conservation and green building features can contribute to
reduced housing costs for homeowners and renters. For example, the element could
include incentives to encourage green building techniques and materials in new and
resale homes, promote energy audits and participation in utility programs, and facilitate
energy conserving retrofits upon resale of homes. Additional information on potential
policies and programs to address energy conservation are available in the Building
Blocks' website at http://www.hcd.ca.gov/hpd/housing elemenOSIA conservation.php.
5. Analyze any special housing needs, such as those of the handicapped, elderly, large
families, farmworkers, families with female heads of households, and families and
person in need of emergency shelter(Section 65583(a)(7)).
The identification and analysis of special needs should be expanded beyond the basic
household and individual counts and general description of the various groups. The
analysis must discuss the nature of the special housing need of each group in Diamond
Bar as well as housing types, zoning and available resources. A thorough analysis will
help identify those with the most serious housing needs to develop and prioritize
responsive programs.
- 5 -
• The element indicates Diamond Bar has 1,373 female households with a significant
number living below the poverty level. The City should include analysis of housing
needs and opportunities for this group.
• The element states 15 to 17 percent of households in Diamond Bars are large
families (pages 11-20). The element should include an analysis of available housing
to meet the needs of large families.
In addition, while the element estimates the total homeless within San Gabriel Valley
Planning Service Area (SPA) at 9,942 persons, the element must include an estimate of
the proportion of those persons within the City limits. To assess the degree of unmet
homeless needs, including the extent of need for emergency shelters, the estimate must
consider both seasonal and year round need and should consider a variety of data
sources. The element could utilize estimates from local officials, survey the identified
service providers or consult with San Gabriel Valley SPA.
B. Housing Programs
1. Include a program which sets forth a five-year schedule of actions the local government
is undertaking or intends to undertake to implement the policies and achieve the goals
and objectives of the housing element through the administration of land-use and
development controls, provision of regulatory concessions and incentives, and the
utilization of appropriate federal and state financing and subsidy programs when
available. The program shall include an identification of the agencies and officials
responsible for the implementation of the various actions (Section 65583(c)).
To fully address the program requirements of Government Code Section 65583(c)(1-6),
and in order for the City's proposed housing development and assistance strategies to
be effective during the planning period, all programs and corresponding actions should
demonstrate the City's commitment to implementation and include: (1) definitive
implementation timelines; (2) identification of responsible agencies and officials and
funding; (3) quantified objectives where appropriate. Programs to be revised and
strengthened include, but are not limited to the following:
• Program 1: Describe the funds available for rehabilitation and the City's role in
acquiring funds. How many residents will Diamond Bar refer to the County's
rehabilitation loan program? How many units are estimated to be rehabilitated per
year? How will the City market the availability of funds for this program?
• Program 3: How will the City advertise the County's single-family home
rehabilitation program? Quantify number of units to be rehabilitated annually.
• Program 6: How will the City support preservation of its two mobilehome parks?
- 6 -
Program 8: By what date will the City contact land owners with information
regarding Diamond Bar's interest in developing senior and workforce housing? How
will the City market the programs? How will the City assist landowners to develop
the property? What regulatory concessions and financial assistance will the City
provide to encourage and facilitate development of senior and workforce housing?
Please refer to the Building Blocks section on Program Requirements at
http://www.hcd.ca.gov/hpd/housing element2/PRO home php.
2. Identify adequate sites which will be made available through appropriate zoning and
development standards and with public services and facilities needed to facilitate and
encourage the development of a variety of types of housing for all income levels,
including rental housing, factory-built housing, mobilehomes, and emergency shelters
and transitional housing. Where the inventory of sites, pursuant to paragraph (3) of
subdivision (a), does not identify adequate sites to accommodate the need for groups of
all household income levels pursuant to Section 65584, the program shall provide for
sufficient sites with zoning that permits owner-occupied and rental multifamily residential
use by right, including density and development standards that could accommodate and
facilitate the feasibility of housing for very low- and low-income households
(Section 65583(c)(1)).
As noted in finding A3, the element identifies a significant shortfall of sites, particularly
sites for lower-income households. For your information, where the inventory does not
identify adequate sites pursuant to Government Code Sections 65583(a)(3) and
65583.2, the element must provide a program to identify sites in accordance with
subdivision (h) of 65583.2 for 100 percent of the remaining lower-income housing need
with sites zoned to permit owner-occupied and rental multifamily uses by-right during
the planning period.
While the element includes Program 9 committing the City to review vacant and
underutilized parcels and identify adequate sites that are suitable for higher density
development, the program must be revised to commit the City to rezoning a specific
number of acres to accommodate the identified shortfall of sites by a date certain.
These sites shall be zoned with minimum density and development standards that
permit at least 16 units per site at a density of at least 20 units per acre. Also, at least
50 percent of the remaining need must be planned on sites that exclusively allow
residential uses. In addition, the element should be revised as follows:
s If the City is relying on mixed-use in Planning Areas and Specific Plans, the element
should indicate how the City will encourage and facilitate development of housing in
those areas.
® If the City is dependent on the redevelopment of underutilized, non-vacant sites and
development of second units to address the identified shortfall, the element should
detail how the City will encourage such development by detailing any existing or
planned financial assistance, regulatory concessions or incentives.
- 7 -
Please note, the City must comply with recent statutory changes to State law
(Chapter 633, Statutes of 2007 [SB 2]) requiring, among other things, the identification
of at least one zone(s) where emergency shelters are permitted without a CUP or other
discretionary action within one year of the beginning of the planning period. To address
this requirement, the City could amend an existing zoning district, establish a new
zoning district or overlay zone for an existing zoning district. The zone must provide
sufficient opportunities for at least one new emergency shelter in the planning period,
including opportunities available in suitable locations near services and facilities. In
addition, the element must demonstrate that existing or proposed permit processing,
development, and management standards encourage and facilitate the development of,
or conversion to, emergency shelters. A technical assistance paper describing the new
requirements is available at http://www.hcd.ca.gov/hpd/housing elementMKmemo071708 final pdf.
3. The housing element shall contain programs which "assist in the development of
adequate housing to meet the needs of extremely low-, low- and moderate-income
households (Section 65583(c)(2)):.
In accordance with Chapter 891, Statutes of 2006, the element must include programs
to assist in the development of extremely low-income households. Programs should be
modified or added to specifically assist in the development of a variety of housing types
to meet the needs of extremely low-income households. in addition:
The element does not include specific actions to assist in the development of a mix of
housing types, including rental multifamily, for extremely low-, very low-, low- and
moderate-income households, and special housing need households. The element
should include programs to address identified housing needs such as overcrowding and
the need for units with three or more bedrooms. Actions could include assistance with
site identification and entitlement processing, fee waivers and deferrals, modifying
development standards and granting concessions and incentives for projects that
provide housing for lower-income households.
The element indicates 11 percent of renters live in overcrowded households. The City
should include program actions to facilitate or assist in the development of affordable
multifamily rental units, particularly units three or more bedrooms. Actions could include
assistance with site identification and entitlement processing, fee waivers and deferrals,
modifying development standards and granting concessions and incentives for projects
that provide housing for lower-income households. Furthermore, given the lack of
available multifamily rental housing, and overcrowding among renter households, the
City should consider strengthening or adding programs to specifically encourage and
facilitate all types of multifamily rental housing.
C. Public Participation
Local governments shall make a diligent effort to achieve public participation of all
economic segments of the community in the development of the housing element, and the
element shall describe this effort (Section 65583(c)(7)).
Additional information is needed to demonstrate how the City has or will make a diligent
effort to achieve the involvement all economic segments of the community through the
adoption process. While the element states study sessions were conducted in the
community, the element should also describe in more detail who actually attended the
study sessions, how many study groups actually occurred and the nature of the input from
the community and how the information was used in the housing element. The element
should be revised to specifically describe the City's efforts to circulate the housing element
among low- and moderate-income households and organizations that represent them and
individuals and to involve such groups and persons in the development of the element.
In addition, the City must make a committed effort to include residents and community
stakeholders during the revision and adoption of the element in the months to come,
including making the draft document available to the public for review and comment.

Dear Mr. Gubman: �
RE: Review of the City of Diamonds Bar's Revised Draft Housing Element
Thank you for submitting Diamond Bar's revised draft housing element received for
review on June 1, 2009 along with revisions received on July 28, 2009. The Department
is required to review draft housing elements and report the findings to the locality
pursuant to Government Code Section 65585(b). Telephone conversations with
Mr. John Douglas, the City's consultant, facilitated the review.
The revised draft element addresses many statutory requirements described in the
Department's October 21, 2008 review; however, revisions will be necessary to comply
with State housing element law (Article 10.6 of the Government Code). In particular, the
element must still demonstrate the suitability of non-vacant sites included in the site
inventory to accommodate Diamond Bar's identified shortfall to accommodate its regional
housing need for lower-income households. The enclosed Appendix describes these and
other revisions needed to comply with State housing element law.
The Department is committed to assist Diamond Bar in addressing all statutory
requirements of housing element law. if you have any questions or need additional
technical assistance, please contact James Johnson, of our staff, at (916) 323-7271.
Sincerely,
Cathy E. Creswell

APPENDIX
CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
The following changes would bring Diamond Bar's housing,element into compliance with
Article 10.6 of the Government Code. Accompanying each recommended change, we cite the
supporting section of the Government Code.
Housing element technical assistance information is available on the Department's website at
www.hcd.ca.gov/hpd. Refer to the Division of Housing Policy Development and the section
pertaining to State Housing Planning. Among other resources, the Housing Element section
contains the Department's latest technical assistance tool Building Blocks for Effective Housing
Elements (Building Blocks) available at www.hcd.ca.-gov/hpd/housing element2/index.php, the
Government Code addressing State housing element law and other resources.
A. Housing Needs, Resources, and Constraints
1. Include an inventory of land suitable for residential development, including vacant sites
and sites having the potential for redevelopment, and an analysis of the relationship of
zoning and public facilities and services to these sites (Section 65583(a)(3)). The
inventory of land suitable for residential development shall be used to identify sites that
can be developed for housing within the planning period (Section 65583.2).
Appendix B was revised to include an identification of sites with potential for rezoning to
accommodate the City's identified shortfall of sites to accommodate its remaining
regional need of 466 units affordable to lower-income households. However, the
revisions do not demonstrate the suitability of these sites as follows:
Sites Inventory: Table B-1 was revised to include parcel-specific information for the
Tres Hermanos and LDS Church site, both identified as sites for potential rezoning to
accommodate the City's remaining lower-income need. However, parcel-specific
information for the K-Mart site is not included. The element must include parcel numbers
or unique reference, parcel sizes, zoning, general plan designation, a description of
existing uses for and a.calculation of the realistic capacity for the site.
Suitability of Sites Identified for Potential Rezoning: Of the sites included in the narrative
description (pages B-1 and B-2), the K-Mart, Tres Hermanos and LDS Church sites
appear to have the greatest potential for redevelopment; however, the element must
demonstrate the suitability of these sites as follows:
K-Mart Site: The element must include specific information on the development potential
considering the extent existing uses may constitute an impediment to additional
residential development. The element could also consider development trends, market
conditions and interest from developers/owners. For example:
• What portion of the site is being utilized by the existing K-Mart?
• What are the existing uses on the remainder of the parcel?
® Any discontinuing or vacated uses on the site?
• The element indicates the owner of the site has expressed interest in a reuse plan
with a residential component. Would the proposed rezone encompass the entire site
or a portion of the site (i.e., existing parking lot or area comprised of smaller shops)?
- 2 -
Tres Hermanos Site: The element indicates 720 acres of this 2600 acre area owned by
the City of Industry's Urban Development Agency are located within the City of Diamond
Bar's corporate limits. The element, however, should discuss any plans the City of
Industry has for the site, including any offers to sell or buy the land and the role the Tres
Hermanos Conservation Authority will play in the development of the site. In addition,
the element indicates a specific plan will be prepared for the entire area but does not
indicate the proposed timeline for development of the specific plan. To rely on these
sites to address a portion of the City's need for lower-income households, the element
must account for and analyze how these factors may impact the availability of the site or
a portion of the site and demonstrate development potential within the planning period.
LDS Church Site: The element indicates the 4.5 acre site is currently developed with an
existing church facility with approximately two acres of vacant land available on the rear
portion of the site. No information, however, is provided on the Church's interest in
selling or developing the site with residential uses and whether the site can realistically
provide development potential within the planning period.
In addition to information on the suitability and availability of these sites, the element
must describe any planned financial or development incentives the City will provide,
such as expedited permit processing, fee waivers or deferrals to encourage the
development of housing affordable to lower-income households in the redevelopment of
the sites.
Zoning for a Variety of Housing Types (Emergency Shelters): The element now includes
Program 12 to revise the City's zoning ordinance to allow emergency shelters by right
within the RM (Residential Medium zone)." While the inventory identifies no vacant or
underutilized parcels available within this zone, the element appears to rely on four
currently operating church sites, ranging in size from 3.5 to 7 acres in size. It is unclear,
however, how these sites were determined to be appropriate to demonstrate capacity to
accommodate at least one emergency shelter during the planning period as required
pursuant to Chapter 633, Statutes 2008 (SB 2). For example, the element appears to
limit opportunities for emergency shelters to existing church sites but provides no
information on whether the church has agreed or expressed interest in providing
shelters. In addition, given the lack of sites identified within the zone, the element must
describe and evaluate the potential on underutilized sites for non-church operators of
emergency shelters.
While the element indicates the City may identify an alternative zone better suited to
accommodate emergency shelters without discretionary action, it should specifically
commit to identifying an appropriate zone and demonstrate any other zones under
consideration will have sufficient opportunities for at least one new permanent
emergency shelter in the planning period to provide sufficient capacity to accommodate
the City's identified need.
- 3 -
B. Ho"song Programs
1. Identify adequate sites which will be made available through appropriate zoning and
development standards and with public services and facilities needed to facilitate and
encourage the development of a variety of types of housing for all income levels,
including rental housing, factory-built housing, mobilehomes, and emergency shelters
and transitional housing. Where the inventory of sites, pursuant to paragraph (3) of
subdivision (a), does not identify adequate sites to accommodate the need for groups of
all household income levels pursuant to Section 65584, the program shall provide for
sufficient sites with zoning that permits owner-occupied and rental multifamily residential
use by right, including density and development standards that could accommodate and
facilitate the feasibility of housing for very low- and low-income households
(Section 65583(c)(1)).
As noted in finding Al, the element continues to lack a complete sites inventory and
analysis.:.Therefore, the adequacy of sites has not been established. Based on the
results of a complete sites inventory and analysis, the City may need to add or
strengthen programs to address any shortfall of sites of residential capacity. In addition,
the element should be revised as follows:
Program 9 — Land-Use and Zoning: The element was revised to include Program 9 to
rezone at least 15.6 acres pursuant to Government Code Section 65583.2(h) to
accommodate the identified shortfall of 466 units affordable to lower-income households.
The Program, however, must specifically reference the sites the City is committing to
rezone (a minimum of 15.6 acres) by including a reference to Table B-2 and the parcel
numbers of potential rezone sites. In addition, the element must demonstrate sufficient
acreage will be rezoned to demonstrate realistic capacity of at least 466 units. For
example, the Program assumes all 15.6 acres will be developed with residential uses at
a minimum of 30 units per acre. However, given these sites allow for mixed-uses, the
element must be revised to consider the potential development of uses other than
residential for non-residentially zoned sites (i.e., K-Mart site). The element may require
revisions to commit to rezone additional acres to account for this potential.
Program 10 — Mixed-Use Development: The Program should be revised to include a
specific implementation timeline for actions (page V-9). This is particularly important as
the City is purposing to address a portion of its remaining need for lower-income
households on the development potential of the Tres Hermanos site and as such, the
site should be zoned and available for development by mid-planning period. If
determined it is not realistic to assume development of this site within the planning
period, the element should be revised to identify alternative sites suitable to
accommodate the City's remaining need. The City must also include a program to
monitor and report on the status of the site.
2. The housing element shall contain programs which "address, and where appropriate and
legally possible, remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement,
and development of housing" (Section 65583(c)(3)).
Program 14 —Affordable Housing Incentives/Density Bonus: The Program should be
revised to specifically commit to removing the garage requirement and allowing carports
for multifamily developments affordable to lower-income households.

Dear Mr. Gubman:
RE: Review of the City of Diamond Ear's Revised Draft Housing Element C:)
Thank you for submitting Diamond Bar's revised draft housing element received for
review on May 24, 2010. The Department is required to review draft housing elements
and report the findings to the locality pursuant to Government Code Section 65585(b). A
telephone conversation with you and Mr. Brad Wohlenberg, City Attorney, Ms. Raef Lee,
Senior Planner, and Mr. John Douglas, the City's consultant, facilitated the review.
The revised draft element addresses some of the statutory requirements described in the
Department's August 4, 2009 review; however, revisions will be necessary to comply
with State housing element law (Article 10.6 of the Government Code). In particular, the
element must still demonstrate the potential and suitability of non-vacant sites included in
the site inventory to accommodate Diamond Bar's identified shortfall of 466 units to
accommodate its regional housing need for lower-income households as follows:
1. Include an inventory of land suitable for residential development, including vacant
sites and sites having the potential for redevelopment, and an analysis of the
relationship of zoning and public facilities and services to these sites
(Section 65583(x)(3)). The inventory of land suitable for residential development
shall be used to identify sites that can be developed for housing within the planning
period (Section 65583.2).
Candidate Rezone Sites (Appendix 62): While the element includes programs to
address the identified shortfall of adequate sites, pursuant to Section 65583(c)(B), it
must include an analysis of the suitability and availability of candidate sites for
rezoning with all components specified in Section 65583.2. For example, the listing
of candidate sites (Table B-2) must include a parcel-specific residential capacity
estimate and a description'of existing uses sufficient to demonstrate the potential for
redevelopment and evaluate the extent to which existing uses may impede additional
residential development. Please note, residential capacity estimates for mixed-use
sites must be revised to consider the potential development of non-residential uses
(e.g., K-Mart site) to account for the potential that not all of non-vacant uses may
redevelop in the planning period. The element may require revisions to commit to
rezone additional acres to account for this potential.

In addition, to demonstrate the suitability of candidate rezone sites the element
continues to require revision as follows:
® K-Mart Site: While the element provides a very general description of existing uses
on non-.vacant vacant and underutilized parcels in Table B-2 (e.g., retail, commercial, office,
etc.) it must demonstrate the potential for redevelopment and evaluate the extent to
which existing uses may impede residential development (sample inventory and
analysis to be sent under separate cover). For example, the element indicates 13
commercial spaces are vacant; however, it is unclear how this relates to the
individual underutilized percentage calculations included in Table B-2. Based on
conversations with City staff, it is the Department's understanding the current
owner plans to demolish and redevelop the entire 20-acre site through a specific
plan process. The'City further stated the current operating Kmart is an
underperforming store and has had little investment in the property. The current
property owner has had conversations with K-Mart regarding a lease buyout. The
element should include this information and any additional information to support
the suitability and redevelopment estimates for this site. Please refer to the
Department's August 4, 2009 review (see link on next page) for necessary
information to include as part of this analysis.
• Tres Hermanos Site: If the City continues to rely on the 720-acre Tres Hermanos
site as a candidate site for rezoning to meet a portion of the City's remaining need
for lower-income households, the element must be revised to demonstrate the
potential of sites to be available during the planning period. While a Request for
Proposal was distributed in 2006 for the development of a specific plan for the
site, based on conversation with staff, no further action occurred. The element
must demonstrate parcels within theTres Hermanos site will be available for
development early enough in the planning period to accommodate the remaining
.regional need for lower-income households. Please note, "available for
development" means the specific plan is adopted and zoning is in place to allow
higher density and/or mixed-use development early enough in planning period to
allow for development. If the City is relying on capacity within Tres Hermanos to
accommodate its identified shortfall, the element must specifically detail where* the
City is in the process of developing a specific plan for this area and include a
timeline for its completion and otherwise demonstrate consistency with the
adequate sitesprogram requirements of Government Code Section 65583.2(h)
and (i).
2. Identify adequate sites which will be made available through appropriate zoning and
development standards and with public services and facilities needed to facilitate and
encourage the development of a variety of types of housing for all income levels.
Where the inventory of sites, pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (a), does not
identify adequate sites to accommodate the need for groups of all household income
levels pursuant to Section 65584, the program shall provide for sufficient sites with
zoning that permits owner-occupied and rental multifamily residential use by right,
including density and development standards that could accommodate and facilitate
the feasibility of housing for very low- and low-income households
(Section 65583(c)(1)).
Mr. Greg Gubman

As noted above, the element does not include a complete site analysis and the
adequacy of sites and zoning were not established. Based on the results of a
complete sites inventory and analysis, the City may need to add or revise programs
to address a shortfall of sites or zoning available to encourage a variety of housing
types. At a minimum, the element should be revised as follows:
Rezone Program for Adequate Sites: Program 9 indicates the City will rezone a
minimum of 15.6 acres to a "higher density." While the program indicates the
rezoned sites will have established minimum densities of 20 units per acre, the
element must identify the specific zoning designation which will be applied to the
parcels. In addition, the program should commit to permit multifamily uses by-right,
without a conditional use permit, planned development permit or other discretionary
action and comply with the other adequate sites requirements pursuant to
Government Code Section 65583.2. Please also note, candidate sites for rezoning
must be appropriately sized to accommodate at least 16 units. Refer to the
suggested revisions to Program 9 (to be sent under separate cover).
Redevelopment of Underutilized Sites: Program 13 indicates the City "may" include
incentives to encourage and facilitate redevelopment of underutilized sites. As the
element is reliant on the redevelopment of the K-Mart site to accommodate its
identified shortfall, it must commit to specific actions the City will take to encourage
and facilitate redevelopment of the site. Sample program language as well as a
listing of various incentives the City could consider will be sent under separate cover.
Once the element has been revised to adequately address these requirements, it will
comply with State housing element law. The Department is committed to assist
Diamond Bar in addressing all statutory requirements of housing element law and is
available to schedule a site visit in Diamond Bar at your convenience. If you have any
questions or to schedule a site visit, please contact James Johnson, of our staff, at
(916) 323-7271.

Dear Mr. Gubman:
RE: Review of the City of Diamond Ear's Revised Draft Housing Element
Thank you for submitting Diamond Bar's revised draft housing element received for review
on November 19, 2010 and revisions received January 13, 2011. The Department is
required to review draft housing elements and report the findings to the locality pursuant to
Government Code Section 65585(b). A telephone conversation with you facilitated the
review.
The revised draft element addresses the statutory requirements described in the
Department's July 22, 2010 review, The Department's finding of adequate sites is based
on the City's commitment to implement Program 9 to rezone a minimum of 15.6 acres of
sites on Table B-2 to a density of 30 units per acre to accommodate the City's remaining
need of 466 units affordable to lower-income households. These sites will permit owner-
occupied and rental multifamily development by-right, without a conditional use permit,
plan unit development or any discretionary action, with a minimum of 16 units per site and
a minimum density of 20 units per acre, consistent with Government Code Section
65583.2(h) and (i). In addition, Program 8 commits Diamond Bar to support the
development of senior and workforce housing by providing incentives such as: reduced
development fees, flexible development standards and direct financial assistance when
available.
Please be aware, Government Code Section 65863 requires local governments to ensure
the inventory of sites or any site programs accommodate the regional housing need
throughout the planning period of the element. In addition, no local government action
shall reduce, require or permit the reduction of, the residential density or allow
development at a "lower residential density" for any parcel identified in the site inventory
unless the local government makes written findings the reduction is consistent with the
adopted General Plan, and the remaining sites identified in the element are appropriately
zoned and adequate to accommodate the jurisdiction's share of the regional housing
need. As defined by statute, "A lower residential density" refers to allowing fewer units on
the site than were projected within the sites inventory of the housing element. The
Department recommends the City consider establishing a process to monitor sites to
facilitate compliance with this requirement.
Mr. Greg Gubman

The revised element will comply with State housing element law (Article 10.6 of the
Government Code) when these revisions are adopted and submitted to the Department,
pursuant to Government Code Section 65585(8).
The Department appreciates your effort and cooperation throughout the course of its
review and looks forward to receiving Diamond Bar's adopted housing element. If you
have any questions or need additional technical assistance, please contact
James Johnson, of our staff, at (916) 323-7271.

Dear Mr. Gubman:
Thank you for including the California Department of Transportation (Department) i9othe=°
environmental review process for the above referenced project. The proposed project consists of
the update of the General Plan Housing Element for the 2008-2014 planning period. No specific
development projects are proposed at this time.
As part of the planning and development review process, all new developments are evaluated to
determine the extent of traffic impacts relative to road capacity, design, emergency access and
parking, and appropriate requirements will be imposed to ensure that safe design standards and
adequate service levels are maintained. Please include the Department in the environmental
review process when a major specific project is proposed or when a significant land use is
changed.
However, there will be 1,098 additional housing units during the 2006-2014 periods. Those
housing units will generate traffics traveling on the State facilities. We would like to remind you
that this traffic volume may contribute a significant traffic impact to the State facilities. In the
spirit of mutual cooperation, we would like to discuss with the City the potential traffic impacts
on the State facilities and mitigation measures that-could alleviate traffic congestion in the future.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (213) 897-9140 or Alan Lin the
project coordinator at(213) 897-8391 and refer to IGR/CEQA No. 110220AL.,
