On July I , 1987 , a public hearing was held to appeal the denial by the
Regional Planning Commission at this hearing , the zone change was denied .
On November 19 , 1987 , a public hearing and a de Nova hearing was held .
At this time , the matter of zone change and the construction of the two
buildings were taken 'under advisement .
On December 22 , 1987 , the Board of Supervisors conducted another public
hearing on zone change case 86 - 410 and a de Nova hearing on CUP 86 - 410 . ',
At this hearing , the Board of Supervisors recommended that the Regional i
Planning Commission may wish to consider a revised project for this par -
cel of land and a zone change from R- 1 - 8 , 000 SFR to CH-DP - BE ( Commercial
Highway- Development Program-Billboard Exclusion ) rather than C - 3 -DP -BE .
At this time , the whole matter was rePerred back to Regional Planning for
consideration .
On June 15 , 1988 , a public hearing was held for a zone change from R- 1 -
8 , 000 SFR to Commercial Planned Development ( CPD ) to allow the develop -
ment of a two story building for retail and commercial offices . A1so ,
CPD zone requires a review of compliance with the design review criteria .
At this public hearing , the Regional Planning staff recommended denial
because there was there was no apparent need for additional commercial '
facilities in this area . If the Regional Planning Commission is satis -
fied• that there is a need for such uses and that the site is suitable ,
staff recommended permitted use be restricted to professional office use
only .
On January 12 , 1989 , another public hearing was held for a zone change
from R- 1 - 8 , 00o SFR to CPD and to construct two ( 2 ) two- story buildinqs ,
one for Yetail commercial stores and the other for professional offices .
A de Nova hearing was held on the CUP 86 - 410 to allow the construction of
a commercial office center within CPD zone . The proposed zone change was
approved , changing an R- 1 - 8 , 000 SFR zone to a CPD zone . The Board of Su-
pervisors declined its intention to approve said CUP and instructed the
County Counsel to prepare finding and conditions including a condition
that the elevation of buildings will be reviewed to ensure that the
buildings are in harmony with concerns of opponents .
On March 30 , 1989 , a letter was sent to the Board of Supervisors by
DeWitt E . Clinton , County Counsel , with the following pertinent findings
and conditions enclosed :
1 . The Grant will expire within two years from date of approval . A
one year extension may be requested before the expiration date .
2 . This Grant allows the development of an office building containing
maximum floor area of 36 , 500 square feet , appurtenant parking fa -
cilities , and landscaping in substantial conformance to site plan
marked Exhibit "A " as presented to the Board of Supervisors on
January 12 , 1989 .

review process of the City of Diamond Bar . Also , as recommended by the
City Attorney , any tentative subdivision map requirements of Los Angeles

AGENDA ITEM NUMBER : 4
REPORT DATE : January 4 , 1991
MEETING DATE : January 14 , 1991
CASE / FILE NUMBER : CUP 90 - 0127
APPLICATION REQUE$T : Environmental Assessment and Conditional '
Use Permit to expand an existing mobile
home park by 29 lots in two phases , for
a total o£ 147 lots on a 19 . 5 Acre site .
PROPERTY LOCATION : 21217 East Washington
APPLICANT / PROPERTY OWNER : Diamond Bar Estates
303 North Placentia , Suite F
Fullerton , CA 92631
BACKGROUND :
This application is to complete , in two phases , components originally
granted under conditional use permit ( 1367 - 1 ) application applied for to
the County of Los Angeles in August , 1979 . The original approval was ob-
tained to complete a mobile home park with a maximum of 147 units ( see
attached conditions of approval ) . The permit from the County was to have
been exercised prior to September , 1980 , and the grant was to terminate
a £ter a 35 year duration .
The application request currently before the Planning Commission is a
request to complete the grant which the County issued but the applicant
failed to fully exercise within a reasonable time period . Staff reviewed
the original application and ) grant and determined that the present re-
quest dictates additional discretionary review under currenf conditions .
A . Surrounding Land Use and Zoning :
North - Santa Fe Railroad Line ; vacant land within the City of In-
dustry and zoned industrial .
South - R- 1 single family and R- 3 multiple family development .
East - Vacant land within the City of Industry zoned industrial .
West - Zoned M- 1 . 5 ; Developed with personal storage facility .
B . Site Characteristics :
The site is an approximately 19 . 5 acre rectangular site located
along the northern border of the city separated from the City of
Industry on the property ' s northern and eastern boundaries . Currently ,
Planning Commission
January 14 , 1991
Page Two
the site is developed with 118 mobile homes which comprise the improve-
ments to date . The northern portion of the site , which is the location
of the Phase I and II project , is currently undeveloped and serves as the
water retention basin for the mobile home park .
APPLICATION ANALYSIS :
The current land use at this site has been in existence for approximately
10 years . During that period the mobile home park has developed to allow '
a capacity of 118 mobile homes . The conditions placed on the conditional
use permit issued by the County have been substantially completed , al -
though the grant was not exercised to its fullest extent . The findings
of approval outlined within the grant are still relevant today although
the intensity of the development on this site is at issue .
The expansion of the project into the area currently used £ or the water
retention basin has created concerns of whether the expansion would be an
over - intensification o£ the site based on current conditions . The remov-
al of the retention basin will create the need for some improvement to
the existing drainage conditions . The improvements will need to at least
maintain the current level service . These improvements will have to have
the capability of exceeding the present carrying capacities since the
system will be handling existing levels and also increased quantities of
run- o £ f related to the increase in non-permeable surfaces .
The applicant has stated that the impacts of the rainfall runoPf will be
mitigated in Phase I by expanding the water retention pond in the Phase
II area to the capacity that replaces the earth displaced by the Phase I
construction . The discharge from the retention pond would be directed to
the west across Brea Canyon Road . The drainage study states that the
current capacity of the drainage culverts bisecting the railroad is oper-
ating at a deficient capacity . There has not been any information sub-
mitted that identifies what methods will be used subsequent to the com-
pletion oP Phase II and how $ny connections to existing facilities will
be completed . It is not known whether any improvements will need approv-
als from the City of Industry or the Santa Fe Railroad .
RECOMMENDATION :
Staff has recently been in contact with the City of Industry and issues
related to runoff have been further underlined as a major concern . Due
to the lack of information to adequately address these issues in detail ,
staff recommends the following course of action :
1 . Open the public hearing and accept all testimony ; and
2 . Continue the public hearing until a date certain with additional in-
formation provided to the staff as requested .

Dear Mr . Searcy , -. ="
Reference CUP 90-0127 , Application by McDermott Engineering to add '
additional pads to Diamond Bar Estates .
I am opposed to this espansion for the following reasons
1 . When Hampton Court townhomes were completed , the owner of ,
Diamond Bar Estates refused to complete his half of Washington '
Street . Relco ( the developer for Hampton Court ) and the County
of Los Angeles had to pay for the completion of Washington and
subsequently Eile suit against the owner of Diamond Bar Estates
to recover the money , This leads me to believe the owner of
Diamond Bar Estates is not responsible within the community .
2 . Washington Street was resurfaced , and is swept, by the County -
however , tli� entire section in front of Hampton Court and Diamond
Bar Estates is still not bought off by the County and does not
receive these services . It is my understanding that it is a direct
result of the street completion issue and the resulting lawsuit .
Again , this indicates the otaner of Diamond Bar Estates is not a
reliable person within the community .
3 . The small plots of land on both sides of Cottonwood Lane ,
directly in front of Hampton Court belong to the same owner as
Diamond Bar Estates . This person does not maintain the property ,
causing an eye sore and a public nuisance . The Hampton Court
Homeowners Association has had to pay to have the weeds removed
each summer because of the unsightliness and the fire danger
associated with the neglected property boardering the community .
This demonstrates furthe� that the owner of Diamond Bar Estates has
no regard for the community as a whole .
4 . The owner of Diamond Bar Estates would not even maintain the strip
of land in front of his own development until forced to do so .
I feel the Planning Commission should deny the request for exnansion as
the expansion is not in the public iaterest and would not serve to improve
the City of Diamond Bar . Thi � owners manner of doing business can only
be a further detriment to the community .
Sincerely ,
�'�-�/���� ,� �

Page 2
8 . The Board of Supervisors and Regional Planning Commission have
recently approved a mobilehome park in aii industrial area as an
interim use .
9 . The applicants proposal meets all of the development standards
in the Zoning Ordinance applicable to mobilehome parks .
10 . There were no protests to this request ; either written or verbal .
11 . The applicant submitted a letter from the owner of the industrial
parcel adjacent to the sub � ect property on the west which stated
that he did not ob � ect to the development of the mobilehome park .
12 . Compliance with conditions hereinafter mentioned , will mit3gate '
any adverse effects on the comfort and welfare of the surround -

13 . A Negative Declaration was prepared for Zone Change Case No .
6348 - ( 1 ) wherein the proposed project was specifically con -
sidered . The preparation of the initial study noted two signi -
ficant effects :
a . Noise and vibrations from trains traveling on tracks ad -
� acent to the site ; and
b . Increase in traffic in the area as a result of the pro -
ject .
The Impact Analysis Section suggested the following mitigating
measures :
a . Comply with mitigation measures recommended by an acoustical
engineer for attentuating train noise for review by County
Health Department prior to conditional use permit approval ;
and
b . Applicant provide � information to the County Road Department
on existing and pro� ected traffic conditions on roads ser -
vicing the site .
The applicant has submitted a noise analysis report prepared
by Williard and Bricker , acoustical engineers , and the report
has been reviewed by the Department of Health Services . The
Department of Health Services recommended the following :
a . That the consultants recommended mitigation measure of a
15 foot high wall be approved ; and
b . That all potential residents be so informed of the negative
impacts of the site ' s railway noise .
The Road Department reviewed traffic pro� ections and determined
that there would not be a significant adverse effect on traffic .

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT CASE �NO . 2367- ( 1 )
REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING DATE : August 22 , 1979
PROCEDURE BEFORE THE BOARD :
One person was sworn who testified in favor of the 147 space mobile -
home park .
FINDINGS :
1 . The C -M zoning was obtained in order to allow this development
on the property , due to Iack of a market for industrial uses .
2 . There is a demand for moderate cost housing in the area . '
3 . The use would permit a viable interim use which would not , in '
the Iong run , affect the use of the property for industrial
uses .
U . The sub3ect property is located within the C -M zone which was
designed to conditionally accommodate the proposed use .
5 . Zone Change Case No . 6348 , adopted by the Board of Supervisors
in August 1978 established the C -M Zoning on the property .
Prior zoning was M- 1 1/ 2 and $-1 .
The Regional Plann3ng Commission held a hearing in the matter
of Zoning Case No . 6348 and found the following :
a . The sub � ect property is presently an agricultural use ;
b . The site is transitional between the residential uses to
the south and the heavy industry to the north ;
c . The property is shown as " Industrial " on both the 1973
General Plan and the new Countywide General Plan ;
I
d . The recommended zoning classification will not result in
a significant environmental impact ;
e . The recommended change of zone is consistent with the
goals , policies , and programs of the Los Angeles County
General Plan ;
f . Establishment of the proposed zone at such location is in
the interest of public health, , safety , and general welfare
and in conformity with good zoning practice .
6 . The sub� eet property is within the " I " Ma � or Industr3al cate -
gory on the General Plan which is suitable for mobilehome park
development .
7 . The sub� ect property is within an area that will be restudied
by the Planning Department for the Countywide General Plan ,

residence is situated at the front central portion of the lot and com-
prises approximately nine percent of the gross area . Approximately 60
percent of the site is open space which can be utilized for recreational
purposes .
The pad area of the site is bordered on the east and south by landscaped
slopes . To the west , the 1ot overlooks the rolling hills of the City of
Industry . The adjacent residences are perched above the site to the east
and south . The site has a wrought iron fence around the interior proper -
ty line .

Developed with single family residences on all sides . Community Plan be -
signation : U2 3 . 3 to 6 . 0 dwelling units .
APPLICATION ANALYSIS :
The proposed project seeks to expand the existing use from a three bed-
room to a 15 bedroom facility . The applicant can , under state law and
right of zone , operate an adult care facility without special review or
permits when six or less residents reside on the premises . The expansion
however requires that prior to state licensing , local approval for the
expanded use must be secured . The State Department of Health Services
restricts these facilities from locating within 30o feet of each other
exclusive of any local regulations .
The current use has not required an expansion of the existing structure .
The proposed use will require an addition o� 405o square feet which will
provide for a total of 6210 $quare feet and 15 rooms with double occu-
pancy capabilities . The structure would remain a single story structure
with the architecture remaining consistent with the current overall
theme . The applicant states that the planned occupancy will not exceed
24 residents and the staffing for the facility will not exceed three em -
ployees per shift .
The total lot coverage ratio for the project site after the proposed ad-
dition will be approximately twenty- six percent ( 26 % ) . All zone required
setbacks ( front - 20 ft ; rear - 15 ft ; side yard - 5 ft & lo ft ) will be main -
tained . Landscaping and open space will comprise over three quarters of
the site and ranges from landscaped slopes to Iandscaped pad areas that
can be utilized for recreation . Currently two parking spaces are provid-
ed and the applicant proposes the addition of three new spaces with the
ability to expand to another four parking spaces if needed . The appli -
cant states that residents will not have personal vehicles and therefore
parking is provided for visitors and employees only .

Access to the project site will remain unchanged . The site will continue
to be served by a single lane driveway approximately 20 ft in width . The
driveway length is approximately 105 feet . Parking is planned to be cre-
ated along the eastern elevation in what is currently an embankment sup-
porting the adjacent neiqhbor ' s yard . Providing the parking places at
this location could prove to be prohibitive because of the required back-
up area and the necessary improvements such as a retaining wall in excess
of six ( 6 ) feet .
This facility is created for residents of at least 62 years of age and
require custodial care at an intermediate level . These residents are not
able to drive a car . The residents are elderly persons who require as -
sistance in providing basic services in their own daily care . '
Concerns : �
Staff has identified as a major concern compatibility with adjacent sin-
gle family residences . In addition to this concern are the issues relat -
ed to appropriateness of use and aesthetics relatec2 to the alterations as
proposed . '
In a residential neighborhood there are various uses that are not strict-
ly residential uses but can be appropriate compatible accessory uses . By
state law and right of zone small residential eare facilities are deemed
to be a compatible form of residential use within a residential zone . The
threshold has been delineated to be six persons before discretionary re -
view is required . The major points to analyze are the type of residen-
tial , care facility proposed , the level of assiduous care required , and
the size of the facility . '
Facility Type / Level of Service
The proposed nonresident operated facility is tailored to intermediate
care residents who are home bound . The residents are seniors that range
in age from 62 and older . The resiclents may be ambulatory but do not
drive .
The care for the residents is not critical care in nature and basically
provides assistance in areas they may have deficiencies in providing for
themselves . The total staff required for the facility is projected to be
three employees during the day shift ; two employees for the night shift .
Facility Size
The facility is currently compatible in size with adjacent residences .
The addition to the existing structure will triple the current square
footage and increase the facility size beyond that of surrounding resi -
dences . The occupancy of the facility will have tne potential to exceed
the normal occupancy o£ the surrounding residences and thereby deviate
from the existing character of the neighborhood .
Planning Commission Agenda
January 14 , 1941
Paqe Eour
This size of the residential care facility is a significant intensi £ ica-
tion beyond the surrounding land uses as well as the existing on- site
use . The traffic generated from the site is likely to increase over the
current number of trips . The trips generated on a daily basis can be
projected tq increase because oP the additional number of residents and
staff which will be occupying the residence . Most of these trips wil2
be generated as a result of maintenance , health care services , daily
shift changes , and trips related to guest visits . The exact impact of
the trips generated is not quantifiable at this point although there will
be a measurable impact when the current use would intensify .
Location '
In applying standards that other jurisdictions have incorporated and that
the State Department of Health Services utilize for small residential
care facilities , the use is allowed as . a right of zone within the single
family residential zone . The expanded use does , however , fall within the
discretionary action of local governing bodies . In most jurisdictions
the standard for location of large zesidentiai care facilities is not
within single family residential zones . These larger facilities are de -
signated for location within multiple family and transitional zones . The
reason for this location determination is based on the intensity of use
for the subject sites and the possible traffic generated by the use .
The parking standards vary from city to city but usually provide one par -
king space per employee and one space per four residents based on maximum
occupancy . For this project that would dictate nine parking stalls where-
as eight seems to be maximum availabl. e along the eastern elevation of the -
site . On street parking at the site is prohibitive due to the site ' s lo-
cation on the cul - de - sac and the limited frontage ( 24 feet } it shares
with adjacent residences .
Public Hearing Notice i
The notice of public hearing has been published in the Inland Valley Dai -
ly Bulletin and the San Gabriel Tribune .
Firidings of Fact :
1 . The requested use at the location proposed will :
( a ) Adversely affect the health , peace , comfort or welfare of per -
sons residing or working in the surrounding area , and
( b ) Be materially detrimental to the use , enjoyment or valuation of
property of other persons located in the vicinity of the site ,
and
( c ) Jeopardize , endanger or otherwise constitute a menace to public
health , safety or general welfare ; and
Planning Commission Agenda
January 14 , 1991

Because of the strong potential for decrease in property values
of properties in proximity to the subject site associated with
theix location to the proposed use , noise generated by the 24
residents utilizing the recreation area to the rear of the
site , and the increase in the potential for accidents that
could affect surrounding properties as a result of the increase
in the number of residents ;
2 . That the proposed site zs not adequate in size and shape to '
accommodate the yards , walls , fences , parking and loading fa-
cilities , landscaping and other development features prescribed
in this title , or as is otherwise required in order to inte-
grate said use with the uses in � the surrounding area ; and ,
Because of the con£ iguration of the site , it is inadequate in
size to provide adequate parking and backup area and an emer-
gency access that would exceed the minimum fire department re-
quirements ;
3 . That the proposed site is not adequately served :
( a ) By highways or streets of sufficient width and improved as
necessary to carry the kind and quantity of traPfic such use
would generate , and
( bj By other public or private service facilities as required .
Because the site is located on a cul -de - sac , the site wi12 not
be able to adequately handle the impacts of the increased traf -
fic generated by the intensification of the existing land use .

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
CASE - BURDEN OF PROOF
This request is to grant conditional use permit to house more senior
citizens in the residential environment . To provide comfortable
environment to the elderly , this request includes additional construction
to the existing building .
A .
l . As ae a11 know , most of the senior citizens are very quiet . Their
activities are confined io limited area around the home because or
their ability to move or walk . Their interest include playing bingo ,
exercise , play games and soft music . It should not disturb any
neibours . '
2 . The location of th. e project site is very private becausz ic is at '
the end of the cul - de - sac'.. It is a flag lot . It has a long driveway '
to get to the house . .::J,us'� ;_ by the nature of its location ; it ie '
diff 'rcult tp notYce �. � ,stance of the house from the end of the
driveway or st e@t
Both neibours a �, - ., _ � r, trance to the driveaay can not see
anything till they �i5alk up i� alf of the driv2way . �I'wo neibours above
the slope can sse the house and residents from tneir backyard , but
both ara about 30 to 50 fzet abov � the slcpe .
It will not be materially detrimental to use or enjoy ir. the
nearby vicinity and i 't wili � oc af = 2ct the va1u2 of the property
negatively .
3 . A11 resid � nts are coming to th2 board and care for their
comfortable and quiac living enviroriment . They themselt� es want
peaceful and quiet surrounding . There will not be any activity that
will endanger or jeopardize the public health , safety or general
welfare . In fact , for the additional residents in the facility , the
licensing procedure requires us to install 'che fire sprinkler in thc
new structure .
B .
Landscaning : As y �u can sez ;: rom �he project plan that ti�� addition
to the existing home will still pre � erveBa300 sq . ft . cf landscaning
area where seniors enjoy beautiful view of the mountains and city
light .
Wall : The retaining wall wi � l be builfl to suppert hillslope .
Fenses : The property bounclry is secured properly by the appropriate
fense . The property is surroutzded by block wall and red iron tenses .
Parking : The carport is provided for 3 car parking and open space on
the driveway provides additional 4 car parking . The parking is used
mainly by the employee and family members . The eld� : ly in the
facility rarely uses their own car .
Loading facility : It is not rzquired for loading and unloading from
the truck since most o £ the purchase is handled thru car .
C .
The propos2d use of the pr �pety is for the seniors . Hoaever , most of
the seniors that come to tha board and care do not drive their own
car . Sometimes , they are not able to go the senior citizen club or to
their own home . So family members take their lov2d ones for an
outing . The number of visit by the family member varies from one
family to other . The average number of visit per quest is twice a
month . Therefore , this permit does not require any addition or
improvement to the existing street , highway and public or private
service facilities .

Dear Rob ,
CiJP - 1000 Park Spring Lr. . , Diamoad Bar
As *� e discussed on the ohone , I am currently manwaina 5 bed Board
and Care ho �ie at the above mentior. e3 ? oc � r = � n . I aT: = � questincr Lor
more than o bed facility . Therefore , S have anplied for � he CJP . 41e
have plann � d for 15 bedrooms . The capacity ior the fac � lir �r can be
ranged from 15 tc 24 residents because some residents prezer private
room and somz prefer semi - pri � ate .
To provide prop2r car2 to th2 alderly r2sid2nLs , I anticipate and
plan ior 3 employees Niorking ciuring the day shift and 2 emoleyee
during th2 night shift .
I would like to exalain the type of seroice that I provide right
now and what I intend to provide in the ruture . I orovide custodial
and p � rsonal care services to thc- elderly residents at the
intermediate level . Larger retirement homes are appropriate fcr
independent seniors and when t_ ,yEy need ror � personal car :; ar.d
supervision , but do nat need nursing care , then they would like zo be
in board and Cc� l" 2 homes L ]73t j� YOV1Cl2 custodial services . I provide
that level of serivices . Dlost cf the family members and seniors
prefer2 home environm2nt than � institution enviro;nFnt likz a nursing
home . At this level , s � niors need assistance in dailp care �nd are
not capable of drivinl a car . . From my 5 years ot experience , I never
had an elderly resident who was driving a car . If he or she can
driv2 a car , our environment is not suitable for his or her long term
stay .
I hope I e :�plain2d about the propos2d 52 "L 'J1C25 . Bllt if you h �v2
any question , please call me at 714 - 861 - 9233 .

Attention : r3r . Robert Searcy
Re : Expansion Request at 1000 Park Sprin � Lane
Gentlemen :
�Ye strongly oppose the expansion request at 1000 Park Spring
Lane .
A " business " running at a single family residential neighbor -
hood has already given us a lot of troubles . ' Now the owner
of the sub ,ject site is trying to expand his business capacity
five ( 5 ) times larger than the current size . This request is
totally ridiculous and unacceptable .
Ne strongly o ose this ridiculous request ! !
Please be aware of the following facts :
1 . Currently , we have heavy traffic in front of our house .
The automobiles drive in and ou� from the subject site ,
and they never slow down during day and night .
2 . We never allow our children to play in the front of
our house ' s street because of the traYfic rush .
3 . Do ;�ou kaow a dog :v � s killed in front of our house
several years. ago . �
4 . How many times , we have heard and seen the ambulances and
fire engines going to the subject site day and night .
Everybody in the neighborhood are soared to death of these
situation .
5 . We are fed up with the current situation at the subject
site . We can NOT let the applicant to expand his business
here , and ruin our life , devaluate our property , increase
more traffic jam , endanger the safety our children , and
create more problems / noises to our neighborhood .
�NE STRONGLX OPPOSE THE RIDICULOUS RE U�ST BY Tarun & Smita
Sanghvi .

' Attention : Robert Searcy
I am in receipt of the Aub7ic Hearing Notice regarding CUP 90 - 0177 - -
a request to expand an existing adult care facility in a renovated
single- family residence located in a residential neighborhood .
By way of this letter I would like to go on public record as being
OPPOSED to this unreasonab ] e request .
This is a single family res9dentia7 neighborhood and this request does
not support this function and nurpose .
This Conditional Use Permit is a 9ross mis - use of this community and
imposes an extreme injustice to the families and homeowners of this
neighborhood .

RE : CUP 90 - 0117
PUBLIC HEARING : PROPOSED CONVALESCENT HOME
I am writing this letter to STRbN�L� 0���5'E the proposed
32 bed / � ceT convalescer. t hoTMe or Park S� rinas Lane in Di. amnnd
Bar . �
While I do not live in that neighborhood , I thinl; the
approval of this would be setting a dangerous precedent
if someone wanted to convert their private home on my own
street into a convalescent home .
I believe a convalescent home is a COMMERICAL ENDEAVOR and
shc, uid not be allowed in a residential neighbonc � od . I
wonld oppose any physical alteration of the standard neigh -
borhood home . I would oppose 32 people residing next door
to me . i would oppose the 8 space parkin � lot proposed
for this site . I would oppose the extra noise , trash , and
visitors . I would oppose the delivery vans bringing needed
supplies . I would oppose ambulances and rescue squads need -
ing to appear more often than in a " normal " neighborhood .
I wonld oppose the danger that these residents pose with
wanderings and behavioral difficulties .
To me , this is CLEARLY A COMMERICAL BNTERPRISE and should
be treated as such and OP� POSED IN ANY NEIGHBORHOOD IN DIAMOND
BAR .
Thank you for your attention to this matter .
Sincerely ,
