The General Plan Annual Report will be presented to the Planning Commission on February • 2000 and will be forwarded to the City Council for review pursuant to the requirements of the Government Code. The City adopted its General Plan on July 25, 1995. The Planni Commission is being presented with the first General Plan Annu Report. As such, this report will include the General Plan' progress from July 25, 1995 to December 31, 1999. 1 Staff recommends that the Planning Commission receive and file this report and direct staff to forward a copy to the City Council for review. WIT On July 25, 1999, the City Council adopted the City of Diamond Mar's General Plan. A General Plan is a State mandated document that a city uses to plan the framework for its future physical, social and economic development. A General Plan is considered a long-term document that steers development within a community for 15 to 20 years. By projecting conditions and needs into the future, the General . -._. _ establishes a basis forevaluating current policy and providing insight on future policy. The City of Diamond Dar General Plan consists of six elements as identified below: Land Use Public Health and Safety Housing Circulation Resource Management Public Services and Facilities The following information provides the implementation status of each General Plan element. WAAAIJ�� SingleSince the adoption of the Land Use Element, development in Diamond Bar has occurred pursuant to the goals, objectives and policies of the General Plan. Diamond Bar is primarily a residential community. family detached units represent majority of - .using stock; however housing exists along Diamond Bar Boulevard, south of Grand Aven . • on GoldenSprings Drive,. of Diamond Boulevard. the adoption of the General Plan, it was estimated that 17,813 residential housing units existed. The total expected residential - - • housing . adoption, 191 single-family housing units have been constructedl In addition, the City has approved the following residential housing subdivisions in the years designated for future construction: • 1995 Tract No. 48487 - 15 units; • 1997 Tract No. 50314 - 13 units; ® 1998 Tract No. 52267 - 130 units; • 1999 Parcel Map No. 23382 - 3 units; 1 Lio multi -family units have been constructed. At the adoption of the General Plan, the existing commercial/ industrial square footage was estimated at 5,865,000 square feet. Since the General Plan's adoption, approximately, 523,000 square feet of commercial development has been constructed. The majority of this new commercial development relates to multi- story office buildings constructed within Gateway Corporate Center. The approval of Tract No. 52267 implements a General Plan land use object to maintain a feeling of open space within the community by identifying and preserving an adequate amount of open space. This Tract's approval implements the Planning object for Planning Area 2 (PA -2/SP) and for the dedication of approximately 350 acres to open space and 10 acres of public park land adjacent to Summitridge Park. The approval will also deposit $1,200,000.00 in the City's Parks and Facilities Development Fund. The City has adopted Hillside Management Standards that protect ridgelines, slope areas, canyons and hilltops. These standards incorporate contour or landform grading, cluster development and a means to minimize visual and environmental impacts to ridgeline or prominent slopes. The Development Code addresses providing adequate parking for all types of land uses within Diamond Par. To accomplish this objective, the City implements Off -Street Parking Standards for commercial and residential development. On March 2, 1999, the City Council approved General Plan Amendment No. 98-1. This amendment requires that a decision to rescind, terminate, abandon, remove or modify an open space deed, map restriction or open space land use designation must be preceded by both a finding by the City Council that the decision confers a significant benefit on the City and a favorable vote of the electorate at a regular or special election. Diamond Par adopted its Development Code on November 3, 1998, City Design Guideline on June 16, 1998 and Subdivision Ordinance on February 2, 1999. The purpose of the three documents is to implement the policies of the General Plan. The purpose of the Housing Element is to identify and make 2 provisions for existing and projected housing needs. Based on the Strategies within the Housing Element several programs have been i • In partnership with LosAngeles i Diamond Bar offers a first time homebuyers program and Mortgage Credit Certificates. Diamond Bar continues to distribute information regarding the activities of the City to assist the Long Beach Fair Housing Council in the resolution of housing discrimination cases. Assistance in the rehabilitation of homes occurs in conjunctionDiamond -Improvement Association (DBIA) and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. Additionally, a housing fund has been established through the City's Redevelopment Agency. The City has also provided public assistance through Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in order to repair flood damage on privat ' e and public property -:This element is scheduled to be updated in the year 2,000.

The Source Reduction and Recycling Element regulations were updated in 1999 with programs that exceed industry standards for residential, • and industrial generator of L#artnership with LosAngeles • _ participates round -up and disposal program for hazardous waste. 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. As required by the Uniform Building Code, site-specific geotechnical investigations are mandatory to determine appropriate design parameters for the construction of public and private facilities in order to minimize the effects of geologic and seismic hazard on development. Drainage studies are required to ensure that proposed •- ••__ be adequately protected, and the development proposal will not create new downstream flood hazards. In 1999, the City adopted amendments updating the minimum National Flood Insurance Program Requirements for Flood Plain Management. FunctionalThe City has implemented a neighborhood watch program. This program encourages community participation in the patrol of neighborhoods and facilitates an increased awareness of potential criminal activities. In 1999, Diamond Bar adopted a Standard Emergency Management System Multi -Hazard :_ - • lan integrates community resources into municipal emergency management, including a list of local resources such as personnel, equipment, material, specialized medical and other training and auxiliary communications/Mobil Emergency Operation Center. The City disseminates public information regarding disaster preparedness through it Neighborhood Preparedness Response Plan r: • training program f• citizens ..... • employees. Transportation m•._!" -,-,- Transportation Demand Management Standards are implemented by the City to improve local and regional air quality by encouraging 4 ridesharing, use of public transportation and other transportation demand management techniques. y City continues to implement a citywide bikeway system and pedestrian sidewalks. The City also follows and implements the guidelines of the Los Angeles County CongestionManagementPlan. Diamond Bar continuesto implement its moi••* noise control standards. These standards set thresholds for various noise sources in the community. In reviewing new development applications, i •' . i" is given to potential noisesources that may impact nearby land uses. If there is a potential for noise problems, then appropriate mitigation measures are imposed. To assist in responding to noise complaints, purchased a Noise Logging Dosimeter. CIRCULATION The Circulation Element defines the transportation needs of the City and presents a comprehensive transportation plan to accom- modate those needs. The focus of this element is the identifi- cation and evaluation of local circulation needs, balancing those needs with regional demands and mandates. Diamond Bar participates in local and regional transportation planning and decision making by implementing the guidelines of the Los Angeles County Congestion Management Plan and participation in the Four Corners Transportation Study. This study focuses on potential transportation improvements in the area bounded by State Routes 57, 91 and 60 and Interstate 15, assists in the evaluation of alternate travel corridors through the easterly portion of the City's Sphere of Influence and initiates regional transportation town hall meetings in Diamond Bar. The City continues to support modifications and construction of regional freeway interchanges. Through the Capital Improvement Program (CIP), the City continues to make improvements to its system of streets. The CIP implements street rehabilitation, traffic control projects and A.D.A. requirements. To maximize the use of alternative transportation modes within and through the City and decrease reliance on single -passenger automobiles, the City implements a transportation subsidy program and Diamond Ride, a local transit service. Additionally, the City has worked with Cal -Trans to expand existing park and ride facilities at Diamond Bar Boulevard and to construct a new facility at Pathfinder Road. -- 0 facilitiesThe City continues to improve the safety and efficiency of existing transportation adding turn lanes striped medians, extending turn pockets at Grand Avenue/Golden Springs Drive, Pathfinder/Brea Canyon Roads and synchronizing signals at Diamond Bar Boulevard and Grand Avenue.

The detailed analysis for the specific development standard adjustments will occur further into the staff report. The proposed residence's architectural style, as referred to in the application is California Mission.

I Pursuant to the Development Code, the proposed trellis is considered an accessory structure and is required to maintain the same setback as the residential structure. As proposed, it maintains the required rear and side setbacks but • the 30 foot required front setback.

The proposed residential structure's rear - from - feet to 65 feet.The five foot setback is at the corner of the residence which is adjacent to the WVWD property. Considering the lot configuration and the fact the setback reduction is not adjacent to a residence, it is anticipated that the setback reduction impact will be E insignificant. However, the purchase of the WVWD property will change this setback at this point to approximately 50 feet. Adjacent to the existing driveway turn -around, a retaining wall is proposed with exposed height of five feet. This wall expands the turn -around area, thereby allowing for a planter and water not within the dedicated easement retainingwall. This wall is Ridgeline Road; however it is in the required 30 foot front yard setback. Pursuant to the Development Code, the maximum height of _within the front yard setback inches (3.5 feet). Through the Variance process, it is possible to exceed the allowed height by more than 20 percent, which is allowed by the Minor Variance process. The applicant desires to increase the height by more than 20 percent, - ^ • is ^• The elevation of Ridgeline Road at the proposed retaining wall 1185. The driveway pad elevation is 1199.8. The grade difference is approximately 14 feet. Additionally, the area adjacent to the wall slopes down five feet plus to the new driveway. It is this grade difference and the existing pad location that caused the wall height of over 42 inch and its location within the setback. Furthermore, as stated previously, the driveway is existing and was not destroyed by the fire. Th applicant intends• utilize this driveway as an access to the residence's entrance. Tennis Court/Tennis Court Lighting and Fencing The tennis court requires a Variance because, as proposed, it does not comply with development standards specified in the Development Code. A concrete slab does not have specific development standards, nor does it require a construction permit. However, a tennis court is considered an accessorydue setbacksto the needed fencing and lighting, and required construction permit. As an accessory structure, a tennis court is required to maintain the same - _ development standards matrix above). The tennis court does not meet the required development standard. As a result, a Variance is needed because the setback relief for the court and lighting is more than 20 percent and the height relief for the fencing is more than 30 • - The buildable pad is irregular shaped with the proposed recreational amenities on the narrowing portion and the residence on the deeper portion of the buildable pad. Since the pad area and main driveway are existing, the design of the site plan, as presented, is logical. It is the pad configuration that causes the setback reduction for the tennis court. The impact of the E rear setback reduction is considered insignificant because this area is adjacent to WVWD property and not a residence. The front setback varies from 21 feet to 25 feet instead of the 30 feet as required by Code. With the purchase of the WVWD property, the front setback will vary from 26 feet to 30 feet. Tennis courts are common place in "The Country Estates" and have been approved in the past with similar setbacks. Due to the narrowing of the lot and the most advantageous direct for a tennis court due to rising and setting of the sun, the proposed location is probably best suited for the court. court Tennis ^ • is proposed - • of _ required to be wrought iron and will surround the court, and in some areas be placed upon a wall.
