OLD BUSINESS: None FEBRUARY S, 2000 PAGE 2 PLANNING COMMISSION 6. NEW BUSINESS: 6.1 General Plan Annual Report: Government Code Section 65400 (b) requires that an annual report on the status of the General Plan be presented to the local legislative body, the Governor's Office of Planning and Research, and the Department of Dousing and Community Development. The annual report shall include the progress in the General Plan's implementation, and in meeting its share of regional housing needs, pursuant to Government Code Section 65584, and local efforts to remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement and development of housing, pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) of Section 65583. DCM/DeStefano presented staff's report. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission receive a presentation from staff, and review and file the General Plan Annual Report. C/Ruzicka said he is proud to have been a part of the Parks Master Plan process when he was a Parks and Recreation Commissioner. DCM/DeStefano confirmed to C/Ruzicka that the correct date to the adoption of the City's General Plan is July 25, 1995. VC/Nelson asked what effect the Wildlands Conservancy proposal to purchase the Boy Scout property might have on the Four Comers Study. DCM/DeStefano responded that the City is aware that a purchase proposal is underway. The City is studying what impacts a purchase by certain groups may have on the Four Comers group. The Four Corners group has identified objectives that would eventually create some type of bypass roadway through the area around the City of Diamond Bar. The exact alignment of such a road is yet to be determined. Chair/Tye asked if the either the Resource Management or Public Services and Facilities portion of the General Plan should indicate that the City has assumed control of its Parks and Recreation services rather than contracting with an outside city. DCM/DeStefano responded that the service received from the City of Brea was excellent. The decision to bring the program in-house was not service related. The in-house program continues to deliver a high quality of service that meets the defined needs of the community. The goal to bring the program in-house was a direct goal of the Parks Master Plan and not of the General Plan. FEBRUARY 8, 2000 PAGE 3 PLANNING COMMISSION 8. PUBLIC HEARING: 8.1 Development Review No 200-01, Variance No. 2000-01, Minor Variance No. 2000-01 (pursuant to Code Sections 22.48.020, 22:54.020 and 22.52.020) is a request to construct a two- story single family residence of approximately 15,602 square feet with a basement, balcony, six - car garage and indoor swimming pool. Additionally, the request includes an outdoor. swimming pool/spa, pool equipment/restroom structure, trellis, and tennis court with fencing and lighting, tennis court fencing height in excess of 6 feet; and retaining wall height in excess of 42 inches within the front yard setback. The Minor Variance request is to construct two cupolas that extend 3.5 feet above the maximum 35 -foot height permitted for a residence. 22840 Ridgeline Road (Tract No. 30091, Lot 156) Diamond Bar, CA 91765 Mr. And Mrs. Wen Chang 1011 Summitridge Road Diamond Bar, CA 91765 APPLICANT: Ku and Associates, Inc. Habitant Development Corporation 18725 E. Gale Avenue #217 City of Industry, CA 91748 AssocP/Lungu presented staff's report. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Development Review No. 2000-01, Variance No. 2000-01, and Minor Variance No. 2000-01, Findings of Fact, and conditions of approval, as listed within the resolution. C/Ruzicka asked if the cupolas serve a function. He also asked if the fire caused any geotechnical problems that should be. mitigated through this project. DCM/DeStefano indicated that the cupolas would provide additional light to the inside of the structure. Staff is not aware of any subsurface issues as a result of the fire. The applicant is required, through the City's Building and Safety Division and through the Public Works Division, to provide soils and geotechnical reports and design to support the proposed structures. C/McManus said he is concernedabout the lower driveway on the westerly side of the property. He asked if a guardrail is proposed to prevent vehicles from leaving the roadway. FEBRUARY 8, 2000 PAGE 4 PLANNING COMMISSION AssocP/Lungu indicated that the proposed retaining wall would be constructed toward the back by the gate rather than at street level. VC/Nelson asked about the difference in elevation between the house to the west of the project and the project's driveway. DCM/DeStefano indicated that the two-story house to the west has a pad elevation of approximately 1160 feet. The driveway immediately adjacent to the house is at 1172 feet. Edgar Aramani, Habitant Development, stated that the main reason for the cupolas is to bring natural light into the structure. Secondarily, the cupolas compliment the structure and help to obscure the view of the 40 -foot high water tank at the rear of the property. C/Ruzicka asked if the roof could be lowered to accommodate the cupolas, which would eliminate the need for a Minor Variance. Mr. Armani reiterated that the cupolas also serve to soften the architectural look of the house and attempt to obscure the view of the water tanks. Tom Lau, Architect, stated that in addition to bringing in light, the cupolas soften the overall mass of the structure. C/Ruzicka asked if the cupolas could be incorporated into the structure in a different manner while meeting the code of 35 feet in height. Mr. Lau stated that with the height of 38 feet, the water tank is still visible. Therefore, it appears to be more compatible with the existing mass of the tank to the structure. Mr. Armani showed a rendering that better exemplified the true design of the cupolas and the relationship of the structure to the water tank. There are many methods for adding light into a building such as skylights. In the opinion of the architect and the development company, it is believed that the cupolas provide the best method to accomplish the interior and exterior architectural design. In spite of the fact that the design exceeds the 35 -foot maximum height, we strongly believe that these elements are an integral part of the general design. C/Ruzicka said that the water towers are so high that the height of the cupolas does not matter. The only function left is to provide indoor light and is there another way to accomplish bringing light into the structure. If one of the aims of the City is to minimize variances, perhaps there is an alternative to the cupolas. FEBRUARY 8, 200® PAGE 5 PLANNING COMMISSION Chair/Tye asked if the purpose of the cupolas was to hide the water tower. Mr. Armani said he does not believe it was intended that the cupolas would hide the water tower. However, the cupolas are designed in a manner to compliment the architecture and obscure the view of the water towers. C/Ruzicka again asked if the light could be brought into the structure in another manner in order to avoid the variance. Mr. Armani responded that the cupolas are not only just for light. The cupolas were also designed to complement the whole design of the structure, which we feel very strongly about. It is part of the design and complements the facade. This issue was explored with the property owner and the City's Planning Division many times during this process. VC/Nelson said that notwithstanding the desire to reduce the number of major and minor variances in the City, it is his understanding that this site is in a location where the additional 3.5 feet will not have any aesthetic impact whatsoever. The neighbors have been notified and they are comfortable with the proposal. Therefore, is there really an issue regarding the height of the structure including the cupolas. DCM/DeStefano responded that from staff's perspective, there is no issue with this application at this address for the reasons stated by VC/Nelson. Chair/Tye opened the public hearing. Glenn Grissom, 22847 E. Lazy Trail, stated that his property backs up to the proposed project. His concern has been addressed by the Commission, which was the illegal grading that took place a few years ago so long as the City can assure him that when there is a large rainstorm that the property will not slide down on his property. He has horses and a barn down the hill from the project. AssocP/Lungu responded to Mr. Grissom that the Resolution contains a condition of approval related to the submittal of a geotechnical report. The report will be required to address the illegal grading and fill and provide design recommendations and/or mitigation measures to render the property safe. DCM/DeStefano stated that Mr. Grissom may have been one of the co -applicants of a four lot project that was processed by the prior owner of this site under consideration. The four lot project involved approval of the grading plan in order to allow a substantial amount of fill to come on to this site. Mr. Grissom is adjacent to the fill site. Mr. Williams who previously owned this property received approval from the City and was, over a long period of time, a PAGE 6 PLANNING A, i COMMISSION bringing dirt in through the dirt pathway in order to fill the site. At the time, there were code enforcement issues regarding the certification necessary for that fill. Not all of that matter was resolved. This project, like any other project, will be required to provide soils and geotechnical reports that are stamped by a registered soils and geotechnical engineer to prove that the project proposed will work on that site and that the site's slopes will not fail as a result of activity that has either taken place or will take place. In addition, the City has an independent geotechnical engineer that will look at the documents and critique the submittals. If the City's Engineer is not satisfied, changes will be made to the documents prior to construction. During construction, the application is inspected at regular intervals. Chair/Tye closed the public hearing. C/McManus moved, C/Ruzicka seconded, to approve Development Review No. 2000-01, Variance No. 2000-01, and Minor Variance No. 2000-01, Findings of Fact, and conditions of approval, as listed within the Resolution. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Kuo, McManus, Ruzicka, VC/Nelson, Chair/Tye NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: None 9. PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS: C/Kuo stated that last Saturday began the Chinese New Year which will be celebrated on Saturday, February 12 at Diamond Bar Nigh School. Be invited all to attend the celebration. 10.1 Public Bearing Dates for Future Projects - as listed. DCM/DeStefano stated that at its February 15 meeting, the City Council will be considering re- appointments for all Commissioners. All Commission appointments expire at the end of February. Some of the Commissioners will be able to attend the Planners Institute the first part of March. If Commissioners are unable to attend but have an interest in the subject matter, please advise staff. The SunCal project appears to be near construction. The City Council is scheduled to look at the Final Map on February 15. C/McManus asked if the project had a problem with the Walnut Water District. DCM/DeStefano stated that the water district had issue with its co -property owner which appear to have been resolved. Pulte, the property developer, has submitted the model units to the City of Diamond Bar. It is likely that the Planning Commission will discuss this matter some time in March.

On March 7, 2000, the staff presented an amended annexation report with the requested additional information. (See attached report dated March 7, 2000) The City Council focused on the overall annexation process, including the roles of the residents, City, and Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO). Discussion also included steps to change the City's sphere of influence and consideration to amend the City's General Plan. As a result, the City Council directed staff to include an application for consideration of annexation for the Shell Oil Property, Diamond Ridge, and Diamond Canyon on a future City Council agenda. 1.

On February 1, 2000, the staff prepared an updated report on the annexation of four existing housing tracts and an expanded report to include additional residential developments and vacant land. Staff also prepared an update to the preliminary cost -benefit analysis report for annexation of the four above listed housing tracts and an informational report on the overall annexation process for discussion at the City Council Study Session.

The previous annexation report evaluated costs associated with police, fire, school, and recreation services, along with street and public works. The Shell Oil properties are located on both the west and east sides of the SR 57 freeway. (See attached Supplemental Map for Shell Oil Properties) The Shell Oil properties encompass approximately ^ of i which is presently vacant. In an effort to be consistent with the previous annexation report, staff attempted • provide r preliminary cost-benefitrespect• use and development in that area and population size. The City has not yet determined if a specific type of land use and development should occur on the Shell Oil properties. With respect to costs, the actual costs will also be dependent on the type of land use and development. Once development occurs, it is anticipated that a good portion of the costs will be paid for by developers. The sphere of influence is a boundary which delineates lands outside the City, but are lands that ' could eventually become a part. of the City. The sphere of influence is often referred to as the ultimate city boundary. The City of Diamond Bar's sphere of influence is located east of the SIR 57 freeway and Shell Oil properties, South of the City's limits to the Los Angeles/ Orange County border. (See attached General Plan Map) The City of Diamond Bar's sphere of influence was first approved by the Los Angeles County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) on August 8, 1990. It encompasses approximately 2,900 acres or 4.5 square miles of land, which contains the middle portion of Tonner Canyon and the Tonner Canyon watershed. The lower portion of the canyon is within San Bernardino County. Much of the middle portion of Tonner Canyon is considered a "significant ecological area" by the County, and contains extensive oak woodland, riparian chaparral, 1 • coastalsage vegetation, along diversity of native wildlife.

BACA, SHERIFF C (909) 595-2264 February 29, 2000 Terrence L. Belanger, City Manager City of Diamond Bar City Hall 21660 Copley Drive Diamon�Bb California 91765 ' Dear Tera: In response to your request for some information regarding law enforcement activity in the proposed annexation area surrounding the city of Diamond Bar, my staff has come up with the following information. All of the proposed areas (reporting districts 2936, 2937, and 2936) at the current time are jointly patrolled by Sheriff's personnel and California Highway Patrol (CHP) personnel. The Sheriff's personnel are assigned to the Walnut/Diamond Bar Station and the CHP officers work out of the Santa Fe Springs Office. Sheriffs' personnel handle the crime issues and preventive patrol as part of the unincorporated patrol area for Rowland Heights, and the CHP handles the traffic issues as mandated for unincorporated areas of the County. i• . _ .•• • . .. - • • Reporting district 2936 is primarily residentialproperty and has _ few localbusinesses.- 1• calls forserviceand •• reported crimes. Reporting district 2937primarily residentialproperty and undeveloped land. There were 52 calls for service and 35 reported crimes. Reporting district 2938 is very heavily populated. residential propertyand many localbusinesses._ _ were 1,806 calls for a • 230 reported crimes. The CHP indicated _ role in these three reporting districts handling • service. There is very little preventive patroTheir major freeway.obligation in this immediate area is providing traffic enforcement on the adjacent 57 • • • to their data,they handled - service -incidents in this area during 1999. This number included calls for service regarding traffic collisions, traffic related arrests from observations, and the issuance of citations to traffic violators. Terrence L. Belanger, City Manager -2- February 29, 2000 In totality, handling all of these calls for service and providing traffic enforcement in these areas would be a rather significant burden on the existing patrol items currently assigned to the city of Diamond Bar. A logical deduction for staffing the proposed annex areas would be to have at least one deputy available around the clock. However, this single item contract, in our purview, does not take into consideration the existing city of Diamond Bar contract, and a stand alone contract item would be a significant cost increase (approximately $670,000) to the existing contract. Our proposal, one we believe would suffice and enhance the existing contract and provide sufficient coverage for the proposed annex areas, would be as follows:, ® Add one 56 -hour car to cover an overlap shift of the day shift and the PM shift. ® Increase the existing 40 -hour overlap car that covers the PM and EM shift to a full 56 - hour car, providing overlap coverage seven days a week. The approximate costs to add this additional coverage to the existing contract would be approximately $340,000 per year. This figure is about half of what a single around the clock deputy would cost. It should be noted that since the city of Diamond Bar implemented the overlap car on the PM and EM shift, the response times to calls for service during shift change has dropped dramatically. I believe this benefit would also be witnessed if an overlap car were added to cover the Day and PM shift. Submitted with this letter is a map showing the annex areas as they relate to the Sheriff's Department's respective reporting districts and a statistical report of crimes reported for each of the respective reporting districts. If you have any questions or additional concerns, feel free to give me a telephone call. Sincerely, Y D. BACA, SHERIFF Richard J.

Annexation is the process of adding territory to an existing city and extending the city's corporate boundaries. AnnexationsIli Ilk, • • be part of - community'comprehensive plan for Annexation should occur in an orderly and logical manner; consistent'with both the city General Plan conservation of agricultural and open -space lands. If the annexation area has not been included or addressed in the city General Plan, then an amendment to the plan should be considered. When evaluating the proposal for consistency with the plan, special consideration should be given to the annexation's impacts on existing and planned public services, agricultural, and open -space lands, city housing supplies for all economic levels, and the adopted sphere of influence. General planning practice requires the zoning to be consistent with the General Plan. This is important for the annexation process because as mentioned above, if the city is initiating the annexation, the site should be prezoned to be consistent with the city's General Plan. Nevertheless, a city should prezone unincorporated territory that it expects to annex in the future. Prezoning hearings can alert the city to opposition or to issues of particular concern prior to its filing an application. eventuallyThe sphere of influence is the boundary for lands outside the city, but that could become a part of - city. A sphereof - is generally • -• the ultimate city boundary.The sphere of -important benchmark because it defines the primary area within which urban development is to be encouraged. Local decision -makers recognize the assumption that the lands lying within the sphere are those that the city may someday propose to incorporate. If the area proposed for annexation by the city lies outside its sphere of influence, then the city must request • to its sphere prior to filing the annexation request or concurrently with the annexation application. As mentioned above, 3 the proposed annexed area should be consistent with the General Plan. The sphere proposal should also be addressed in the required environmental document. The Local Agency Formation Commission is the review authority for establishing a city's sphere of influence. This commission is described in further detail in this report, under the section below, titled "Who is the review authority .for annexations?" The Local 'Agency Formation Commission will determine the requeste amendment to the sphere of influence with respect to each of the following items: �j a. The present and planned uses in the area, including agricultural and open - space lands. b. The present and probable need for public facilities and services in the area. c. The present capacity of public .facilities and adequacy of public services which the agency provides or is authorized to provide. d. The existence of any social or economic communities of interest in the area if the commission determines that they are relevant to the agency. 11 ado Upon determination of a sphere of influence, the commission shall adom-1 that sphere, and shall periodically review and update the adopted sphere T The commission may recommend governmental reorganizations particular agencies in the county, using the spheres of influence as t basis for• • •. •Those recommendations shal•^ Localmade available, upon request, to other agencies or to the public. Pursuant to the Cortese -Knox Act, the State requires each county to establish a • -ncy Formation CommissionEach . • ' up of elected officials from the county, local cities, special districts, and a member of the general public. The LAFCO is empowered to review, approve, or deny proposals for boundary changes and incorporations for cities, counties, and special districts. Each LAFCO operates independently of the state. However, the. State mandates specific factors, which the LAFCO must address when affectedconsidering annexation proposals. Specific factors include state wide policies and priorities for the preservation of open -space lands and the discouragement of urban sprawl. In turn, the LAFCO establishes the ground rules by which the city willprocess the annexation. M What is the annxatin pr®cess? In its most basic form, annexation can be considered a four part process. Key items and terms have been noted in bold for quick reference. The four part process includes: 1. Prefili.ng Prior to filing, the proponent should meet with the LAFCO's executive officer to establish the minimum requirements for processing, then meet with any affected special districts and agencies to agree upon a taxation scheme and needed property tax transfers. An application may be filed with the LAF by petition of affected landowners or registered voters, or by resolution from r involved Commission action is subject to environmental analysis. More specifically, action should follow the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements. Nonetheless, an initial study will be required. This makes the city lead agency for CEQA documents and the LAFCO a responsible agency. The documents should address, among other concerns, the policy issues raised in Sections 56301, 56375, and 56841. If an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is prepared and the annexation is approved, the LAFCO r • the city will be responsible for making findings pursuant to Sections15091 and 15093 of ` CEQA Guidelinesjustifying their actions. In any case, a Filingdocument should be prepared to address the annexation as well as all related General Plan amendment, prezoning, sphere of influence or other proposals. 2. and LAFCO consideration A • has •.r toreviewan annexation r.•• .• and 'determine that it is complete for processing. Once the application has been accepted and deemed complete, the LAFCO will analyze the proposed annexation light / thecommission'sr r • • • evaluation r r • responsibilities r •itsown adopted • • State mandated evaluation criteria and responsibilities include, but are not limited to the following: 9. Population, population density, land area and use, per capita assessed valuation, natural boundaries,drainage basins,proximity to populated areas, and the likelihood of sign if icant'growth during the next ten years. b. Need for organized community services, present cost and adequacy of government services and controls, probable future needs, probable effect of the annexation and of alternative courses of action on the cost r. • adequacy • services • •controls-. e area z • E C. The effect of the proposed annexation and of. alternative actions on adjacent areas, on mutual social and economic interests and on the local government structure of the county. d. Conformity of the proposal and its effects with LAEC® policies on providing planned, orderly, efficient patterns of urban development and with state policies and priorities in conversion of open -spaced lands to other uses. e. Effect of the proposal on maintaining the physical and economic integrity of lands in an agricultural preserve in open -space use. f. Clarity of the boundaries of the territory, the non-conformance of proposed boundaries with lines of assessment or ownership, the creation of islands or corridors of unincorporated territory and other similar matters affecting the proposed boundaries. g. Consistency with appropriate city or county general and specific plans. h. The sphere of influence of any agency which may be applicable to the proposal being reviewed. commentsi. The of any affected agency.Pursuant to Government Section 56375(a), the LAFCO may be required to 9,pprove a city's request to annex land adjacent to its borders when th*z rommission finds that either of the following circumstances exist: a. The • is substa• •-• by substantially developed or developing, is not prime agricultural land, is designated for urbangrowth on General • is not influencewithin the sphere of of another city. • • is located within an urban- area designated by growthLAFCO, is not prime agricultural land, and is designated for urban on General Both of these conditions require review of the annexing city's General Plan by the LAFCO. Although State law does not mandate that annexations c• • to local General Plans beyond requiring that the LAFCO consider consistency with the city or county General Plans, a General Plan which reflects the proposed annexation improves the chances that the annexation will be approved. Before the executive officer issues a certificate of filing, the involved city, county, and special districts are required to negotiate the allocation of 31 property tax revenues during a 30 •r mandatory Vii} r. • period, but • not required to reach agreement.However, the executive,offcannotr a certificate of filing until an agreement is reached.

The four areas are predominantly comprised of single family dwellings. All are recently constructed, some homes in Diamond Canyon are still incomplete. Sunset Ridge is gated, and Diamond Canyon will be as well. The acquisition of these four territories would provide a net increase in City funds, allow residents to vote for local public servants and enjoy City services. Property Tax The largest financial contribution from the annexed areas will be property tax revenue. The following is a rough sample survey of Sunset Ridge, Monte Verde, and Diamond Ridge. Diamond Canyon residents' property tax revenues have not yet been included in county computer records, as many of the houses are still uninhabited. Sunset Ridge Sunset Ridge is a gated community comprised of a total 91 homes on tract numbers TR 35765, TR 35764, TR 35766, TR 35767, and TR 44343. I used Douse Numbering Maps HNM 99-309 and H1,TM 102-309. The ZIP code for the area is 91789. Deriving random numbers using a TI -83 Graphing Calculator, I produced a random sample of lot numbers. Sample size was 21. I then found the corresponding addresses on the HNMs. Entering these addresses into a computer program, called TRW REDI Win2Data ver. 2.4, I derived property taxes paid by each individual household last year. The percentage of property tax revenue appropriated to City'Diamond Bar Tax District 1 is 5.3% or $0.053 for every $1 (Annual Tax Increment Tables). I then multiplied the mean property tax payment by the total number of households within Sunset Ridge multiplied by the appropriation percentage to arrive at a dollar figure representing the amount of financial contribution expected from property tax revenue from this residential community. I also calculated the standard deviation of the sample and found the uncertainty of the mean, using a t -value of approximately 2.0, following the formula Um- =ts1 4n The following are the figures derived: can (x -bar) = 4654.922 std. dev. (s) =1137.636 Unc. (U) = 2394.644 Property tax revenue ® $22,450.689 ± 2,394.644 F4 �Lonte Verde Monte Verde is a community comprised of 160 homes on TR 33256 and HNM 99-309. The ZIP code for the area is 91789. Using a sample size of 30 and following the same procedure as described above, I derived the following numbers: can (x -bar) = 3241.797 std. dev., (s).= 640.916 Une. (U) =.2170.637 Property tax revenue = $30,043.054 ± 2170.637 Diamond -Ridlgg-� Diamond Ridge is a community comprised of 76 homes. Since the tracts are new, their existence was not reflected on county maps. The ZIP code for the area is 91765. Using a sample of 22 and following the same procedure as described above, I derived the following numbers: mean (x -bar) = 4483.832 std. dev. (s) = 604.845 Une. (U) = 1064.820 Property tax revenue = $18,060.875 ±'1064.820 DiamondCanyon Diamond Canyon is a community comprised of 75 homes, one church and one corporate build I ing, a gate is being constructed that will enclose the homes only. Residential property tax records are not yet available on TRW REDI Win2Data ver. 2.4, but using the values of two homes and an estimated tax rate of 1.25%, 1 was able to estimate property tax revenue. However, the reliability of a two sample study is poor at best. Commercial property.tax also is apportioned to the city. The corporate building for Cordis Webster, -a Johnson & Johnson Company pays $53,761.31 in property tax. City Diamond Bar Tax District I receives $2,849.349 from that collection. mean (x -bar) = 5437.5 std. dev. (s) = 265.165 Unc® (U) =1054.031 Residential Property tax revenue = $21,614.063 ± 1054.031 3 State Subventiohs State subventions are revenues from other governmental agencies. These revenues are generated from state taxes in -lieu of local taxes. Hi hwa® Users' as Tax Using previous records and receipts from 8/97 to 6/98, I calculated the mean per capita payment over the noted period. Since there were two parts to the Gas Tax, Section 2105 and 2107, I calculated these means separately. I then found the amount of revenue expected from the annexation areas by multiplying the mean per capita per month Gas Tax payment for each section by 3.40 persons per household (census) multiplied by 423 households multiplied by 12 months. I then added the two totals for each section to arrive at a total expected revenue. Here are the relevant figures: Section 2105 Section 2107 mean (x -bar) = 0.495210/capita/ ont can (x -bar) ® 0.607.150/capita/ ont Revenue = 5,456.53 ± 668.594 Revenue =11,483.739 ± 800.121 Total Revenue = 20,009.359 ± 146,8.715 Motor Vehicle Licensing Fee I followed similar procedure as that for the Highway Users' Tax: The "Car Tax" will be significantly decreased—by as much as 25% possibly—in the coming year. Therefore, this figure will not be reliable in the fixture due to policy changes. Following are the figures derived: mean (x -bar) = 57297.555 std. dev. (s) = 7265.756 Unc. (U) = 4519.577 Total Revenue = 57,297.555 ± 4,519.577 AB 2766 (SCAQMD) The South Coast Air Quality Management Division (SCAQMD) pays cities $2 per car registered for a city. This money can only be used to fund programs that reduce vehicle emissions. The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) provided the figure of 2.3 for average number of motor vehicles per household. Therefore,the .revenue calculated will be an overestimate, since the term "motor vehicles" includes vehicles other than cars. mean (x -bar) = 2.3 cars/hhold 423 hhold S2/car Total Revenue ® $1,945.80 Other subventions apply, such, as the Off highway Motor Vehicle Licensing Fee, however, they contribute a negligible amount as compared to the ones detailed. (The Off Highway Motor Vehicle Licensing Fee yielded $22.363) Franchise Fees Private companies, such as utilities, operating under a government endorsed monopoly pay the city a certain percentage of net business done in the city. Such companies include Southern California Edison, Southern California Gas Company, and Century Communications (cable TV). SC Edison (1%) $5,747.70 SC Gas Company (1%) $1,683.20 Century Communications (5%) $4,784.13 Total $12,215.03 0 Propositions State propositions to enact certain programs deliver funding to cities based on population: Receipt records for the propositions did not include per capita information, nor were they complete enough to render a suitably reliable estimate. I used county totals to figure per capita allotment of funds. I then multiplied the total number of households within the annexation areas by the average number of persons per household. I am assurriing funds are distributed evenly county -wide. If any discrepancy exists among cities' appropriation of these funds, they will not be reflected in this estimate. PrQp A $110094 per° capita 1438.2 persons Total Revenue = $15,9540888 Pr $9.251 per capita 143802 persons Total Revenue = $13,304.614 0 Street Maintenance and Public Works Since Sunset Ridge and Diamond Canyon are gated communities, their streets are privately maintained. County contractors recently completed a sl ®seal for the streets of Monte Verde. The sl ®seal is done every seven years. The maintenance of the streets of Diamond Ridge has yet to be transferred to county control and is still the developer's responsibility, as to the best information available at the date of this report. P i Using previous year budget'information, I calculated the amount spent per capita for police enforcement, then applied that per capita figure to the estimated population of the annexation areas. This figure is probably an overestimate, since additional cost may be limited to only additional contract services. Consider this erring on the side of caution. $65.382 per capita 1438.2 persons Total Cost ® $94,032.932 Recreation Following a similar procedure as described above, I found the per capita cost for current Diamond Bar residents and applied that figure to the annexation population. $12.925 per capita 1438.2 persons Total Cost ®18,5880060 Closing arks While the figures here look very promising, it is the recommendation of this report that a second, more thorough analysis be undertaken, if for no other purpose than as a double-check for these results. The next annexation analysis might also endeavor to project figures for future years. 19 00 N� +� +1 -H -H +100 ® ® vi I'D ® ev00 �o ll� ® C� r- C) vi ® ®W v) CN _ N c� ® 00 N N • qVd ob >G�� 00 N� +� +1 -H -H +100 ® ® vi I'D ® ev00 �o ll� ® C� r- C) vi ® ®W v) CN _ N c� ® 00 N N qVd ob >G�� WW ® CV � �p W Y W [� I�+W Vl VWNTV".'T 7 0.249 Los Angeles County General $ 0.191 Walnut Valley Unified School District $ 0.161 Consolidated Fire Protection District of LA Co. $ 0.134 Educational Augmentation Fund Impound $ 0.085 Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund � $ 0.029 Mt.

Lungu, Associate Planner �''�j Agenda Item No. 9.3 - Housing Element Update March 8, 2000 State law requires an update of the Housing Element every five years, so that the element will contain the most current version of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA), developed by the local Council of Governments. The RHNA report estimates the total projected need for housing by income category in the region then provides the proportionate share each city must provide. For this six county region (Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura and Imperial Counties) the Southern California Association of Governments (SLAG) is the local Council. The City's General Plan was adopted July 25, 1995. Pursuant to State law, it is required that the Housing Element be updated this year. In the next few months, the Planning Commission will be presented with a revise Housing Element for review. Cotton/ Beland/Associates Inc. (CBA) will assist City staff with the update. CBA assisted with the preparation of the adopted General Plan and are recognized as experts in the preparation of Housing Element development. The City has been negotiating their share of regional housing needs with SCAG that is reasonable and achievable. The negotiated number of affordable housing that the City is required to provide for the next five years is 144 units.
