Baseline Road Claremont, CA 91711 0 PT/Tobon presented staff's report and recommended Planning Commission approval of Conditional Use Permit PL2012-124, based on the Findings of Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed within the resolution. C/Torng asked staff to correct the total floor area of the clinic mass to 6744 instead of 6754. C/Lin asked what kind of business is located in the unit intended for the expansion and PT/Tobon responded that it is currently vacant. C/Lin said he found it interesting that the establishment was closed during the day. PT/Tobon responded that the only time the clinic is open during the day is during the weekend Saul Jaffe thanked the Commission for its time and said that he had experienced a good relationship with staff through this process. The clinic looks forward to expanding its space. C/Shah asked the applicant why the. clinic had only a night operation and Mr. Jaffe responded that East Valley Emergency Pet Clinic is owned by a group of veterinarians who practice in the area and this clinic supplements their current daytime practices and provides emergency services when the day clinics are closed. The doctors trade off taking calls at night which provides a good regional service. VC/Nelson asked if the clinic takes in wildlife and Mr. Jaffe said he does not know because he is not an operator of the clinic but his understanding is that the clinic serves small pets and some exotics. Chair/Lin opened the public hearing. With no one present who wished to speak on this item, Chair/Lin closed the public hearing.

The subject property is zoned Rural Residential (RR) with a consistent underlying General Plan land use designation of Rural Residential. PROJECT ADDRESS: 2234 Feather Rock Road Diamond Bar, CA 91765 PROPERTY OWNERS: Raymond and Vivian Obiamalu 2234 Feather Rock Road Diamond Bar, CA 91765 APPLICANT: Pete Volbeda 180 Benson Avenue, Unit D Upland, CA 91786 PT/Tobon presented staffs report and recommended Planning Commission approval of Development Review No. PL2011-515, based on the Findings of Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed within the resolution. C/Farago pointed out a typo on Page 4 on the Site and Grading Configuration paragraph, with respect to "trips to move soil offsite' - "off-site" should be changed to "on-site." C/Shah asked if the proposed parking was to accommodate eight, nine or ten cars and PT/Tobon responded ten cars. C/Shah referred to Attachment No. 2, Section F -F, which spoke to compaction and said he did not understand the relationship between the poor compaction and importing the soil. It appears to him that very little soil is being removed and a lot of soil is being imported to the back of the property. Pete Volbeda said that originally the project contemplated adding on to the home but during investigation it was determined that the first 10 feet of the side is not properly compacted to 90 percent. The site shows that the front yard now JUNE 12, 2012 0 DRf1 ,. PAGE 4 PLANNING COMMISSION has a slope and all of the steps have cracked over an inch and the house has movement as well. In addition, the lot has two cross slopes, one downhill and one in the opposite direction. The way the house was built put the north side roof very close to grade which results in a lot of problems with animals and mold issues. Another issue is the sewer ejection pump which has failed. By constructing a basement, the existing 10 feet of non -compacted fill area will be absorbed. So rather than re -compacting the 10 feet it will be removed and used for the back of the lot. In addition, the front door of the house will be level (instead of built on a hill) with the street which means much less chance of sliding and moving. Further, the house has been stepped more toward the rear yard to accommodate the existing down slope to minimize the import. Chair/Lin referred to Sheet No. 8 and asked where the garage is located to which Mr. Volbeda responded that it was located on the left side. Chair/Lin asked how high the highest fill would be and Mr. Volbeda responded that eight feet would be the maximum. Chair/Lin asked if Mr. Volbeda conducted any drainage calculations to make sure the drainage pattern would not accelerate a runoff. Mr. Volbeda said the site is quite interesting. There is a swale at the rear of the property which is off-site and leads to a lower drainage area. The existing drainage area has a pipe on the north side of the property which runs in an easterly direction. The pipe is clogged and the project will create swales on the north side of the property to take that drainage and divert it back to where it was currently intended to go, to the offsite swale at the rear of the property. The rip -rap will disperse the water so that it goes back into the same swale. Therefore, the drainage pattern will not be changed. In fact, every attempt is being made to keep it away from the neighboring property to the east. Chair/Lin opened the public hearing. With no one present who wished to speak on this matter, Chair/Lin closed the public hearing. VC/Nelson said that despite the extensive use of California Peppers, all he has to say about this project is "wow." And thank you for selecting Diamond Bar to build this project. C/Shah moved, VC/Nelson seconded, to approve Development Review No. PL2011-515, based on the Findings of Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed within the draft resolution.

PLANNING COMMISSIONER COMMENTS/INFORMATIONAL ITEMS: VC/Nelson asked if there was an update on the Ralphs vacancy and CDD/Gubman said he has no news to report. Ongoing deal points are being negotiated between the tenant and the property owner. C/Shah asked if the new office building by HMart was fully occupied and CDD/Gubman said there was a lot of interest in the condominiums and believed they were sold out. C/Farago asked for an update on the delayed Shell gas station construction project on Diamond Bar Boulevard and CDD/Gubman stated that the City's Prosecutors Office is filing civil charges against the property owner .with the City as Plaintiff due to the ongoing nuisance that has resulted from their failure to complete the project. There has been an ongoing progression of events that needed to lead up to the filing of civil charges, one of which was that the City Council needed to pass an ordinance that assured the City's ability to recover its legal fees. The ordinance had a 30 -day curing period and became effective the beginning of this month. C/Shah asked who the property owners are and CDD/Gubman responded Frydoun Sheikhpour and Rosa Tahmasebbi. 9. STAFF COMMENTS/INFORMATIONAL ITEMS: CDD/Gubman stated that due to lack of agenda items for June 26 the next Planning Commission meeting will be held on July 10, 2012. On June 21, the City will conduct a public scoping meeting at Pantera Park at 6:30 p.m. The meeting is part of several measures the City is taking to implement the Housing Element that was recommended for adoption by the Planning Commission last spring and ultimately adopted by the City Council and certified by the State of California. One of the required implementation programs described during the Housing Element adoption processes is the need to rezone sufficient acreage in the City to meet the low and moderate income housing obligation for the Southern California region. As indicated in the Housing Element, the City selected and the State Department of Housing and Community Development accepted the City's findings for considering the area surrounding Diamond Ranch High School as the study area that the City will study for rezoning. He referred to a graphic showing the 78 acre parcel that encircles Diamond Ranch High School which includes two designated development sites. The City will go through the EIR process to identify the environmental issues and to disclose those issues, and craft zoning regulations so that one or the other of the shaded areas would ultimately become the high-density residential housing site. The purpose of next Thursday's scoping meeting is to introduce this effort to the surrounding community and to solicit comments including what issue areas they believe should be included in the EIR. The City will produce a Comprehensive Environmental Impact Report covering all of the mandated impact study areas described in CEQA. As part of this JUNE 12, 2012 PAGE 6 PLANNING process, the City needs to go to the neighborhood and ask for any information they may have being familiar with the immediate area so that staff is sure to cover all of the topics in the EIR. Staff expects this to be a controversial project as anything involving affordable housing or high-density housing tends to be in communities such as Diamond Bar. Therefore, the City wants to be sure that it is reaching out to the neighborhood, informing them of what is being considered and ensure that they are aware of the pending decision-making process so that when the public hearings commence with the Planning Commission and ultimately with the City Council, the residents have been provided ample opportunity to express their views and to learn more about the project in order to participate in the decision-making process. Chair/Lin asked if there was a concept plan included in the EIR process and CDD/Gubman responded that when there is an actual development project that would be the case. This is only for rezoning the land to go from what is basically an Agricultural zone which allows one house per parcel, to 490 residential units. To rezone from a very low density to what will be the highest density classification, the City is able to, in at least a preliminary stage, analyze the traffic impacts, potential air quality impacts and conduct on-site surveys to evaluate the biological, geological and other physical impacts that may affect the property. Normally, when the City does a zone change it does not have to do such an extensive environmental review process; however, the way California law is written, for the purposes of zoning for affordable housing, the City needs to eliminate as many development obstacles as possible to facilitate such a housing project, and for that reason the City is obligated to do a lot of the "heavy lifting" CEQA-wise so that those questions are resolved and should a developer come forward in the future to build the housing, they will have full disclosure of what will be required to develop the site. VC/Nelson asked if the CEQA process would assume maximum buildout for purposes of the EIR so that when someone comes to the City with a subsequent and more specific project they would not generate additional impacts that would require another EIR. CDD/Gubman responded staff is studying the site to fulfill the City's and the EIR entire obligation for low-income housing on this site, so the subsequent developer would be expected to build out to the maximum number of units permitted and the City will, through development standards that go hand-in-hand with the zone change with the mapping, cap that at 490 units. The City wants to make sure that a developer builds all of the required units on the site because if they fail to do so the City is then obligated to find other parcels in the City to rezone. VC/Nelson asked if a Tentative Tract Map would be the next step and CDD/Gubman said that would be so if the developer planned to do "for sale" type housing. However, the City would expect an apartment complex type development to occur at the site, so it would more likely mean that only a Development Review application will be required. Chair/Lin asked if the site abuts Chino Hills and CDD/Gubman said that the site does not. On the north side of Scenic Ridge Drive, the condominium complex is in the City n e'ses n rr JUNE 12, 2012 PAGE 7 PLANNING COMMISSION of Pomona and across the freeway is Phillips Ranch in the City of Pomona. Farther down Scenic Ridge Drive, one enters the City of Chino Hills. All of the west side is Diamond Bar. C/Shah asked how the City could expect someone to build to the maximum density on the site, to which CDD/Gubman responded that the City cannot force anyone to develop at all. The City is only obligated to rezone the land so if it is never developed it does not matter to the City because the City has satisfied its legal requirement to create the zoning. If a developer comes forward and elects not to maximize the number of units, that will put the City in a difficult position because as previously mentioned, the City would have to rezone land elsewhere to pick up the slack. If a developer did not intend to maximize the number of units, the City would likely work out a development plan that still provides expansion area for a subsequent phase. C/Lin said that he presumed the application was filed by the City of Diamond Bar for this CEQA process and if the owner rejected or opposed the application, what would happen? CDD/Gubman stated that the City can rezone any property in the City without owner's permission. In this situation, although the City of Industry is not the applicant or the sponsor of this project, they have given Diamond Bar permission to enter the property for the purpose of conducting the environmental studies. 9.1 Public Hearing dates for future projects. 10. SCHEDULE OF FUTURE EVENTS: As listed in tonight's agenda. ADJOURNMENT: With no further business before the Planning Commission, Chairman Lin adjourned the regular meeting at 7:44 p.m. to July 10, 2012.

(909) 839-7030 - FAX (909) 861-3117 DATE: TO: FROM: BY: SUBJECT: BACKGROUND: August 14, 2012 Chairman Lin and Members of the Planning Commission Greg Gubman, AICP, Community Development Director Grace S. Lee, Senior Planner General Plan Status Report for 2012 State Law requires each city to prepare and adopt a comprehensive, long-term General Plan to guide its physical development. The General Plan is a policy document comprised of goals, objectives, and strategies for implementation. The City of Diamond Bar has periodically amended the General Plan as needed, since its adoption on July 25, 1995. In accordance with California Government Code Section 65400, the City is required to submit an annual General Plan status report to the local legislative body (City Council), the State Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on the status of the General Plan, its implementation progress, and how the City is meeting the regional housing needs for the community. The attached report lists the City's progress toward the implementation of the General Plan for the period of January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012, by meeting the City's share of regional housing needs pursuant to Government Code Section 65584 and by the City's effort to remove governmental constraints, which may influence the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing pursuant to State Law. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the report and forward it to the City Council to receive and file. Prepared by: —ee Se-tior Reviewed by: Greg Gubman, AICP Community Development Director Attachments: 2012 General Plan Status Report 2 CD: Staff Reports-PCIGP Status Report 08-14-2012 CITY OF DIAMOND BAR General Plan Status Report 2012 Period beginning January 1, 2012 and ending December 31, 2012 On July 25, 1995, the City Council adopted the City of Diamond Bar's General Plan, which is a State mandated document that the City uses to plan the framework for its future physical, social and economic development. The General Plan is considered a long-term document that projects development within a community for approximately 15 to 20 years. By projecting conditions and needs into the future, the General Plan establishes a basis for evaluating current policy and providing insight on future policy. The City of Diamond Bar General Plan consists of the following six elements: 1) Land Use 4) Public Health and Safety 2) Housing 5) Circulation 3) Resource Management 6) Public Service and Facilities The following information summarizes the status of the objectives that the City has implemented for each element of the General Plan in 2012. LAND USE ELEMENT Diamond Bar is for the most part a residential community. Detached single-family dwellings represent the majority of the City's housing stock; however, multi -family housing exists along Diamond Bar Boulevard, south of Grand Avenue and along Golden Springs Drive, west of Diamond Bar Boulevard. Since the adoption of the Land Use Element, development in Diamond Bar has occurred pursuant to the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan. Objective 1.2 — Preserve and maintain the quality of existing residential neighborhoods while offering a variety of housing opportunities, including mixed land uses. • The City issued certificates of occupancy for three new single-family dwellings, and issued 17 construction permits for additional livable square -footage to residential dwellings and one construction permit for a new single-family dwelling. This level of construction activity is an indicator of the continued desirability of Diamond Bar as a place to live, and its residents' desire to remain in their homes, neighborhoods and schools by adapting their homes to meet the needs of their families. Moreover, as individual properties are improved and upgraded, the overall quality of the neighborhoods in which they are located also improves. • On March 6, 2012, the City Council approved Site D Specific Plan to allow for the development of 200 dwelling units and two -acre neighborhood public park i CD: Staff Reports-PCIGP Status Report OB -14-2012 located at the southeast corner of Brea Canyon Road and Diamond Bar Boulevard. Objective 1.4 — Designate adequate land for educational, cultural, recreational, and public service activities to meet the needs of Diamond Bar residents. • On January 3, 2012, City Hall relocated to a new 57,000 sq. ft. facility located on 21810 E. Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, CA 91765. City Hall operations occupy the second floor, featuring a larger and more efficient front counter public service area, a dedicated Emergency Operations Center (EOC), and additional office space for Sherrifs Department personnel. • On July 28, 2012, the Los Angeles County Library relocated from a 9,935 sq. ft. space to the first floor of the new City Hall facility. The new 18,245 sq. ft. library is more than double the size of its former location and includes separate children, teen, and adult reading sections. It also comprises an outdoor reading garden and space for a bookstore. • On March 6, 2012, the City Council approved Site D Specific Plan to allow for the development of 200 dwelling units and two -acre neighborhood public park located at the southeast corner of Brea Canyon Road and Diamond Bar Boulevard. A neighborhood park of at least 2.0 net usable acres is to be incorporated into the residential development. • The City continues to have a joint use agreement with Pomona Unified School District to use Lorbeer Middle School for their recently renovated football/soccer and track fields. • The City constructed a new fully accessible neighborhood public park — Washington Park. • The City constructed improvements that included the removal of architectural barriers at Silver Tip Park. • The City designed improvements to remove architectural barriers at Star Dust Park and Longview Park South. • The City completed the construction of Sycamore Canyon Trail Phase IV and installed panoramic educational panels along the trail system. Objective 2.1 — Promote land use patterns and intensities which are consistent with the Resource Management Element and Circulation Element. Strategy 2.1.2 — Ensure that new development utilizes feasible contemporary technologies to reduce energy and water consumption, generation of solid and hazardous wastes, and air and water pollutant emissions. 112 CD: Staff Reports-PUGP Status Report 08-14-2812 • On January 3, 2012, City Hall relocated to a new 57,000 sq. ft. facility located on 21810 E. Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, CA 91765, occupying the second floor. Since the second floor was renovated rather than reconstructed, the City followed some LEED standards such as repurposing existing windows, doors and fixtures, and installed rooftop solar panels. The City installed its first Solar Photovoltaic System in June 2012. The system will generate approximately 43 kW AC of electricity and offset between 5-8 percent of facility energy use. • On March 6, 2012, the City Council approved Site D Specific Plan to allow for the development of 200 dwelling units and two -acre neighborhood public park located at the southeast corner of Brea Canyon Road and Diamond Bar Boulevard. The development is conditioned to incorporate green building strategies and facilitate energy and water conservation. • In April 2012, the City completed a LED retrofit of street name signs at four intersections. The new LED technology will utilize less electricity than the previous T-12 fluorescent tubes. • On July 28, 2012, the Los Angeles County Library relocated to the first floor of the new City Hall facility. The new 18,245 sq. ft. library is designed to qualify for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Commercial Interiors Silver Certification. • The City is working with the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments to develop and Energy Efficiency Chapter of the Climate Action Plan (EE CAP). It is a standalone chapter of a future plan that identifies current energy use and green house gas emissions of the residential, business, and governmental sectors in Diamond Bar. Anticipated completion is expected in August or September 2012. Objective 3.1 — Create visual points of interest as a means of highlighting community identity. • On March 6, 2012, the City Council approved Site D Specific Plan to allow for the development of 200 dwelling units and two -acre neighborhood public located at the southeast corner of Brea Canyon Road and Diamond Bar Boulevard. The development will incorporate community identity through an entry feature at the corner of Brea Canyon Road and Diamond Bar Boulevard to mark the entrance to the City. HOUSING ELEMENT The Housing Element identifies and makes provisions for existing and future housing needs. Several programs continue to be implemented based on the strategies within the Housing Element as follows: 5 CD: Staff Reports-PCIGP Status Report 08-14-2012 • The City continues to implement a proactive Neighborhood Improvement/Code Enforcement program and direct eligible households to available rehabilitation assistance in order to correct code violations. • The City continues to assist in the rehabilitation of existing housing stock through Diamond Bar Improvement Association (DBIA — "Paint the Town" program) — although it is presently not active - and the use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Home Improvement Program funds for home rehabilitation. • In partnership with Los Angeles County, the City continues to offer a first time homebuyer assistance program and Mortgage Credit Certificates. • Staff is working on implementing the strategies and programs that are identified in the 2008-2014 Housing Element as listed below: o Conserving and improving the existing supply of affordable housing — This is an important goal for Diamond Bar. The City has taken a proactive approach to maintaining the quality of its current housing stock. The CDBG-funded Home Improvement Program provides significant assistance to eligible households. o Assisting in the development of affordable housing — The City of Diamond Bar currently provides a variety of housing types, with densities ranging from one dwelling unit per acre to 20 dwelling units per acre. As part of the Housing Element Update, the City is obligated to rezone at least 15.6 acres of land with a density of 30 units per acre in order to accommodate a minimum of 466 mufti -family housing units to meet current State affordable housing mandates. The City is currently in the process of preparing an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to evaluate the environmental impacts that could result from the rezoning and potential future development located in an undeveloped hillside area along the west side of Chino Hills Parkway/Philips Ranch Road, just south of Diamond Ranch Road and Scenic Ridge Drive, and adjacent to Diamond Ranch High School. This area is part of a larger area known as Tres Hermanos, which is owned by the City of Industry. The study area encompasses approximately 80 acres, and two potential development areas (Site A and Site B) within the study area will be evaluated in the EIR. Each site is approximately 30 acres and only one of the sites is proposed to be designated and rezoned for multi -family housing. o Providing adequate housing sites — The City's land inventory, including approved projects and the potential development of vacant parcels is adequate to accommodate the net remaining Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) for this planning period in the moderate income category. ➢ On March 6, 2012, the City Council approved Site D Specific Plan to allow for the development of 200 new housing units and two -acre neighborhood public park located at the southeast corner of Brea Canyon Road and 6 CD: Staff Reports-PC/GP Status Report 08-14-2012 Diamond Bar Boulevard. These housing units represent about 18.5 percent of the projected housing needs in the current Housing Element cycle. o Removing governmental and other constraints from the housing development — The Housing Element addresses and where legally possible, removes governmental constraints affecting the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing. The City provides affordable housing incentives/density bonuses and efficient project processing to mitigate government constraints on residential development and facilitate the development of a variety of housing. The City is in the process of updating the density bonus regulations to conform to the requirements of State law. o Promoting equal housing opportunities — To adequately meet the housing needs of all segments of the community, the Housing Element includes programs that promote housing opportunities for all persons regardless of race, religion, gender, family size, marital status, ancestry, national origin, color, age, or physical disability. The City already established procedures to facilitate reasonable accommodations for dwellings occupied by persons with disabilities, and is in the process of developing standards for emergency shelters and transitional housing. RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ELEMENT Issues related to open space and conservation overlap in Diamond Bar. As a result, the City combined its Open Space Element and Conservation Element into one Resource Management Element. The Resource Management Element addresses open space, visual resources, biological resources, and parks and recreation. Additionally, this element establishes strategies for effectively managing local and natural resources in order to prevent waste, destruction, or neglect. Progress toward implementing strategies within the Resource Management Element has been made in the following areas: Objective 1.3 — Maintain a system of recreation facilities and open space preservation which meet the active and passive recreational needs of Diamond Bar residents of all ages. The City continues to work with Lewis Corporation to develop Larkstone Park and dedicate it over to the City. On March 6, 2012, the City Council approved Site D Specific Plan to allow for the development of 200 dwelling units and two -acre neighborhood park located at the southeast corner of Brea Canyon Road and Diamond Bar Boulevard. The City is currently working with Lennar Homes to design the park. Objective 2.1 — Minimize the consumption of water through combination of water conservation and use of reclaimed water. 7 CD: Staff Repons-PC/GP Status Report 08-14-2012 On March 6, 2012, the City Council approved Site D Specific Plan to allow for the development of 200 dwelling units and two -acre neighborhood public park located at the southeast corner of Brea Canyon Road and Diamond Bar Boulevard. The development is conditioned to incorporate water conservation landscaping, water saving features within the units, and use of reclaimed water in public landscaped areas. Objective 2.5 — Minimize the environmental impacts of landfill disposal of solid wastes through an aggressive public education and information campaign designed to promote a comprehensive program of source reduction, recycling, composting, and household hazardous waste reduction activities. • The City's contracted residential and commercial waste haulers continue to offer comprehensive waste collection and curbside recycling services citywide. Curbside recycling services include collection of green waste, used oil, bulky items, and hypodermic needles. • The City, in conjunction with Los Angeles County Public Works, provides a Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) event in the City once a year. The HHW event takes most forms of electronic and hazardous waste including paint, batteries, and other toxic materials that are recycled and do not enter the waste stream. • The City conducts an annual America Recycles Day event that includes a -waste collection for household electronic waste such as televisions and computer equipment. • The City website and public information outlets are continuously used to promote recycling and information on new laws such as AB 341 that require businesses and multi -family residential communities to meet new diversion requirements. PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY ELEMENT The Public Health and Safety Element contains provisions that relate to the protection of life, health, and property from natural hazards and man-made hazards. It identifies areas where public and private decisions on land use need to be sensitive to hazardous conditions caused by slope instability, seismic activity, flood, fire, and wind. Objectives 1.1 and 1.2 — Minimize the potential for loss of life, physical injury, property damage from seismic ground shaking and other geologic hazards, and the public health hazards and nuisances from the effects of a 100 -year storm and associated flooding. • The City continues to require site-specific geotechnical investigations and drainage studies which must be approved by the City Engineer prior to issuance of any grading permits in conjunction with the Uniform Building Code and as part of the standard conditions of approval that are applied to all new developments and redevelopment projects. P. CD: Staff Reports-PC/GP Status Report 08-14-2012 CIRCULATION ELEMENT The Circulation Element defines the transportation needs of the City and presents a comprehensive transportation plan to accommodate those needs. The focus of this element is the identification and evaluation of local circulation needs, balancing those needs with regional demands and mandates. Objective 1.1 — Participate in local and regional transportation related planning and decision-making. • The City continues to actively participate in the Four Corners Transportation Coalition, a multi -jurisdictional public/private non-profit to lobby for design and construction funds for the long term fix of the State Route (SR) -57/60 Freeway Interchange. Diamond Bar has been a member since its existence in 1990. This group includes cities, counties, and public commissions/districts that meet monthly in an effort to create policy on a broad spectrum of transportation issues designed to unify and benefit the Four Corners Region. • The City continues its collaboration with the City of Industry in the implementation of the Grand Avenue Confluence Project. The Grand Avenue Confluence Project represents the first phase of the long term fix of the SR 57/60 Freeway. It will involve bridge widening and improvements to the on/off ramps at Grand Avenue. Significant progress and funds have been acquired to date such that the initial ramp improvement for the Westbound SR 60 is fully funded and design will be complete by the end of 2012. Additionally, funds have been acquired to construct the local intersection improvements. To date, the City of Industry has committed $35M of its own funds and received an initial allocation of $8M plus an additional $5.9M in Metro Call for Projects funds that will become available in FY 2015/16 and FY 2016/17. The Environmental Impact Report for the Grand Avenue Confluence Project is expected to be released in the Fall of 2012. The City continues to annually implement the guidelines of the Los Angeles County Congestion Management Program, which is required to maintain eligibility for regional transportation funding opportunities. • The City has been active in monitoring the Multi -County Goods Movement Action Plan to ensure the City is not negatively impacted by the strategy and implementation plan for the Southern California goods movement transportation system. The City has been very proactive in addressing the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) efforts to incorporate an East/West Truck Corridor between Interstate 710 and Interstate 15 into the Goods Movement Element of the 2012 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The City has collaborated with affected stakeholder agencies to voice concerns regarding the premature nature of declaring the San Jose Creek Flood Control Channel as the preferred solution for goods movement. The current San Jose Creek Flood Control Channel proposal has not been sufficiently studied and lacks critical analysis to ensure adjacent communities will not be negatively impacted. The 2012 RTP was adopted in April 2012 but the City went of record regarding the M C0: Staff Reports-PC/GP Status Report OB -14-2012 need to expand the study scope to include other east -west corridors along the 10, 210, and 91 freeways. • The Lemon Avenue interchange project is expected to result in the closure of the SR -60 Brea Canyon Road eastbound access ramps and create on-ramp and off - ramps at Lemon Avenue. The benefit of the Lemon Avenue project will effectively reduce truck traffic on Golden Springs Drive because access to the City of Industry can be provided without traversing arterial roadways in Diamond Bar. The final design anticipated to be complete by the end of 2012. The Freeway Agreement was executed in December 2010 and a Right -of -Way Cooperative Agreement was signed in September 2011. Construction is expected to begin in January 2014 with a completion by December 2015. Objective 1.2 — Balance the need for optimum traffic flow on City Arterials within economic realities, environmental, and aesthetic considerations. • Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras have been installed at key arterial intersections (8 locations) to provide real time feedback for use in managing the signal system. An additional 3 CCTV cameras will be installed at critical intersections in 2012. Currently, the City has a total of 19 arterial intersections equipped with battery back-up systems to ensure temporary signal operations continue during power outages. Design for an additional 20 locations will be underway by the end of 2012. Objective 1.3 — Maintain the integrity of residential neighborhoods. Discourage through traffic. • In residential neighborhoods, the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP) continues to be an effective tool in providing a procedure to implement traffic calming devices in neighborhoods that experience speeding and cut - through traffic. Neighborhoods have also benefited from a residential parking district that preserves residential street parking through a permit system in the areas around Diamond Bar High School. A number of key improvements regarding centerline striping, merge arrows, and parking restrictions were implemented in 2012 to aid in efficiency of traffic circulation. Objective 2.1 — Maximize the use of alternative transportation modes within and through the City to decrease reliance on single -passenger automobiles. • The City continues to sell monthly Metro bus and rail passes in addition to Foothill Transit Zone passes. These programs are subsidized by Proposition "A' funds and provide a benefit to Diamond Bar residents because of the subsidized rates. • The City's Dial -a -Ride program provides discounted taxi services to residents over 60 years of age and the disabled community. The program is subsidized through the City's allocation of Proposition C funds and provides supplemental transportation options to residents for medical and other related service needs. 10 CD: Staff Reports-PC/GP Status Report 08-14-2012 • The City website continues to provide alternative transportation information to residents, including website links to Metro, Foothill Transit, Metrolink and Amtrak rail, and Ridematching information. Objective 3.1 — Improve the safety and efficiency of existing transportation facilities. • The Capital Improvement Program for 2012 lists specific projects that were approved, and the General Plan Conformity Report annually identifies projects completed in conformance with the General Plan. The following capital improvement projects including traffic signal modifications and street improvements were accomplished in 2012: o The City completed the relocation of the Foothill Transit Bus Stop at Copley Drive adjacent to City Hall. The bus stop was relocated from its existing location adjacent to the AQMD building to the west closer towards the crosswalk adjacent to Diamond Bar City Hall. Additionally, ADA compliant curb ramps were constructed at the existing crosswalk and a solar -powered flashing beacon were installed to enhance the pedestrian crossing. o The City completed the Arterial Zone 6 and Residential Area 1A Annual Slurry Seal. Due to the pavement condition in Residential Area 1, it was decided that separating Residential Area 1 into two areas would be necessary due to budgetary constraints. Therefore, the arterial zone program will remain on schedule, but the residential area program will temporarily be on an 8 -year cycle. o The City completed a third median modification project at Diamond Bar Blvd. and Clear Creek Canyon. The raised median on the north side of the intersection was reduced to enable the left turn pocket offset thereby improving the line of sight for vehicles turning from Diamond Bar Blvd. onto Clear Creek Canyon. o The following projects are scheduled to be complete by the end of 2012: ➢ Chino Hills Parkway Rehabilitation — Includes reconstruction of an approximate 1 mile roadway segment on Chino Hills Parkway. ➢ Golden Springs Drive Drainage Improvement — Includes installation of new catch basins and lateral lines to improve surface drainage on Golden Springs Drive in the vicinity of Lavendar Drive. ➢ Pathfinder Road Sidewalk and Erosion Control Improvement — Includes extension of sidewalk width on portions of Pathfinder Road between Evergreen Springs and Diamond Bar Blvd. and construction of a slough wall to direct drainage away from the slopes behind the sidewalk. 11 CD: Staff Reports-PC/GP Status Report 08-14-2012 Grand Avenue & Summitridge Drive Median Modification — Includes construction of median offsets to improve line of sight for left turn movements from Grand Avenue onto Summitridge Drive. ➢ Diamond Bar Boulevard & Silver Hawk Median Modification — Includes construction of median offsets to improve line of sign for left tum movements from Diamond Bar Boulevard onto Silver Hawk Drive. ➢ American with Disabilities Act (ADA) Curb Ramp Construction at Maple Hill Elementary and Chaparral Middle School — Included construction of 82 curb ramps to meet current ADA standards at Maple Hill and Chaparral Schools (curb ramps included both replacement and new ramp locations). PUBLIC SERVICE AND FACILITIES ELEMENT The Public Service and Facilities Element deals with the long-term provision of municipal services and facilities, and what types of facilities are needed to support those services. This element focuses on identifying City facilities and services needed to sustain the community's quality of life; long-range planning to fund City services and buildings; and coordinating and cooperating with various local agencies to provide those services not provided by the City. Objective 1.1: Maintain adequate infrastructure facilities and public services to support development and planned growth. • The City continues to require new development to pay development fees for infrastructure facilities and/or provide the necessary infrastructure to support the new development. Additionally, all new subdivisions are required to connect to the public sewage system. • On March 6, 2012, the City Council approved Site D Specific Plan to allow for the development of 200 dwelling units and two -acre neighborhood public park located at the southeast corner of Brea Canyon Road and Diamond Bar Boulevard. As part of the conditions of approval, payment of appropriate fair - share contributions toward the improvement of areawide street improvements is required and the following traffic improvements will be implemented, which will be completed prior to the issuance of project certificates of occupancy: o Pathfinder Road at Brea Canyon Cutoff Road: Widen and/or restripe eastbound Brea Canyon Cutoff Road to provide one left -turn lane, two through lanes and a separate right -turn lane. The implementation of this improvement may require some modification to existing traffic signal equipment (i.e., re-cut/install new vehicle loop detectors, modification to traffic signal controller); and o Cherrydale Drive or Crooked Creek Drive at Diamond Bar Boulevard: Provide an option left/through lane and a separate right -turn lane on the northbound approach; restripe southbound approach to provide an option 12 CD: Staff Reports-PC/GP Status Report 08-14-2012 left/through/right-turn lane on Cherrydale or Crooked Creek. Widen eastbound approach to provide a separate right -turn lane. Modify median and restripe Diamond Bar Boulevard to provide dual westbound left -tum lanes. Install traffic signal. The implementation of this improvement may require some modification to existing signing and striping the affected streets. Objective 1.3 — Provide residents with access to high quality local educational facilities. • On July 28, 2012, the Los Angeles County Library relocated from a 9,935 sq. ft. space to the first floor of the new City Hall facility. The new 18,245 sq, ft. library is more than double the size of its former location and includes separate children, teen, and adult reading sections. It also comprises an outdoor reading garden and space for a bookstore. There are separate adult and children's sections featuring state-of-the-art technology, online computer terminals, free WiFi access for laptops and other mobile devices. CONCLUSION The General Plan continues to direct all land use decisions and remains an effective guide for future development. The City continues to pursue economic development to increase City revenue, address traffic related issues, and preserve open space and continues to create a community environment that nurtures social, cultural, religious, educational and recreational opportunities for its citizens. 13 CD: Staff Reports-PUGP Status Report 08-142012 PLANNING COMMISSION .Ago,` AGENDA REPORT CITY OF DIAMOND BAR -21810 COPLEY DRIVE -DIAMOND BAR, CA 91765- TEL.

Monte Vista San Dimas, CA 91773 Summary The applicant is requesting approval of a Development Review application to add 371 square feet to the front of an existing 1,710 square -foot, single-family residence. The residence is a 1974 one-story tract home consisting of a gable roof design with composition shingles, exterior stucco walls with vertical wood siding adjacent to the front entry, and vinyl windows. The proposed addition will maintain a single -story design, appropriate in mass and scale to the site, and incorporates existing design elements compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. After evaluating the application, staff finds that the proposed project complies with the City's development standards, and that the Development Review findings set forth in the Development Code can be made in the affirmative. Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Development Review No. PL2012-236, based on the findings of fact, and subject to the conditions of approval contained in the attached Resolution. BACKGROUND: Site Description: The project site is located on the northeast corner of Rock River Drive and Red Cloud Drive. In 1974, the property was developed under Los Angeles County standards with a 1,710 square -foot home and 441 square -foot garage on a 7,290 square -foot (0.17 -acre) lot. There are no protected trees on-site. The property is legally described as Lot 73 of Tract No. 28134, and the Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) is 8718-012-022. Project Description The applicant requests approval to construct a 371 square -foot addition to the front of the house consisting of a bedroom, bathroom, and walk-in closet. In addition, the applicant is proposing to add a bay window on the front elevation and windows to the respective sides of the addition.

Site and Grading Configuration: The site is on an existing leveled pad. Therefore, no grading is required for the proposed project. Minimal excavation will be required for footings and foundation placement. Elevations: The residence is a 1974 one-story tract home consisting of a gable roof design with asphalt -composition shingles, exterior stucco walls with limited vertical wood siding adjacent to the front entry, and vinyl windows. The applicant is proposing to retain the existing building style but introduce a front bay window to give the home a more contemporary appearance. The proposed design will maintain architectural integrity by incorporating similar fenestration patterns, and matching existing exterior colors and building materials, including roofing and glazing. Projecting outlookers beneath the fascia board will match those on the east side of the house, below the roof line, to provide consistency throughout the front elevation. The roof of the proposed addition will be fully integrated with the existing roof by matching the existing gabled forms and 4:12 pitch. Development Review No. PL 2012-236 Page 4 of 6 Proposed Front Elevation Landscaping: Landscape plans are not required because the site is already developed, and because the project is exempt from the City's Water Conservation Landscaping Ordinance. The ordinance would only apply if 5,000 square feet or more of the existing landscaped area was being altered. However, landscaping that is dama ed during construction will need to be restored upon project completion. This g requirement is included as a condition of approval. Compatibility with Neighborhood The project is designed to be compatible and complementary to the neighborhood by keeping similar architectural details of the neighboring existing tract homes. The applicant is proposing to maintain architectural integrity to the fagade of the residence by using similar types of materials used on the home. The project incorporates the principles of the City's Residential Design Guidelines as follows: Placement and relationship of windows, doors, and other window openings are carefully integrated with the building's overall design; Large wall expanses are avoided; and The addition will maintain a single -story design, appropriate in mass and scale to the site and incorporate existing design elements.
