The City of Diamond Bar respectfully opposes AB 904, which reduces the
authority of cities to regulate land use and parking standards.
Incorporated in 1989, the City of Diamond Bar is a newer residential community
with unique needs that the City Council understands and works diligently to
address. Rather than give cities additional tools to address their own distinct
needs, AB 904 pre-empts local land use and parking standards. Resident and
business input are key components to any decision made by the City Council,
and it should remain up to the local community to make decisions that impact
those they have been elected to serve.
For these reasons, the City of Diamond Bar is opposed to AB 904.
Sincerely,
Ling -Lin Chang
Mayor, City of Diamond Bar
