ADJOURNMENT: Agenda #: Meeting Date: November 19, 2019 CITY COUNCIL STUDY SESSION REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council VIA: Daniel Fox, City Manager FROM: Ryan McLean, Assistant City Manager TITLE: TRANSACTION AND USE TAX MEASURE BACKGROUND The Long -Term Financial Forecast Report ("Forecast") was presented to the City Council on March 19, 2019. The Forecast found that expenditures are projected to outpace revenues in coming years, resulting in annual operating deficits. These annual deficits may eventually impact the City's ability to maintain current service levels. To reduce or offset future deficits and maintain the ability to invest in new and/or improved facilities and programs in the future, the Forecast identified a variety of fiscal policy options for consideration. The City Council has proactively implemented many of these initial options, making strategic decisions to: • Reduce Capital Improvement Plan impacts on the General Fund. • Reduce long-term pension costs by budgeting for a 15-year amortization payment plan. • Adopt an updated and expanded Fund Balance and Reserve Policy. • Begin to reduce General Fund subsidies to Lighting & Landscape Assessment Districts with service level adjustments. • Voter -approved increase to the local Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT). Recognizing that these initial efforts will not alone solve for future operating deficits, the Forecast also prioritized the pursuit of new local revenue sources to achieve long-term financial sustainability. At the July 16, 2019 Study Session, the City Council tabled an option to conduct election polling for a potential local transactions and use tax measure. With the recent Packet Pg. 8 passage of similar measures in a number of local agencies and Los Angeles County considering measures in 2020 and/or 2022, the City Council may wish to consider developing some public education materials and conducting some public outreach efforts to help determine the feasibility of a local measure. To gain a better understanding of the process to establish this new revenue source, the following sections explain the sales and use tax allocation, recent ballot measures and their fiscal impacts, and the election process. HOW IS SALES TAX COLLECTED? Sales taxes are levied on the retailer for the privilege of selling goods at retail (exceptions include grocery items and prescriptions). The retailer is then allowed to pass on the sales tax to the purchaser of the goods. The total sales tax rate in Diamond Bar is currently 9.5% and is distributed as follows: Current Sales Tax Breakdown State General Fund 3.9375% Local General Fund (Bradley -Burns) Current Diamond Bar Share 1.00% Countywide Transportation Fund 0.25% County Realignment for Mental Health Welfare/Public Safety 1.5625% Public Safety Augmentation Fund 0.50% County Transportation Measures (Prop.A, Prop. C, Measure R, Measure M) 2.00% County Homeless Services (Measure H) 0.25% Total 9.50% Expected sales tax revenues for Diamond Bar are $5,020,000 for Fiscal Year 2019-20, representing approximately 19.5% of total General Fund revenues for the year. UITI:I►_%r_1 N =91b9 =1 r_1:1 ** The use tax, which is complementary to the sales tax, is imposed if the purchaser buys goods in one jurisdiction but consumes or stores those goods in another jurisdiction that has a use tax (provided that the total sales tax rate in the jurisdiction with a use tax is higher than the sales tax rate in the jurisdiction in which the goods were purchased). The use tax is collected at the point of sale. This is best shown by way of example. Assume Diamond Bar has adopted a 0.75% Packet Pg. 9 local sales and use tax measure, so the total effective tax rate is 10.25%. Company X in Diamond Bar buys equipment in another city which has a total effective tax rate of 9.5%. The equipment is delivered to Company X in Diamond Bar. Company X is required pay an additional 0.75% as a use tax. The primary purpose of the use tax is to ensure that retailers in jurisdictions which have adopted a local sales tax are not at a competitive disadvantage with retailers in jurisdictions which have not. RECENT BALLOT MEASURES In recent years, voters have passed a number of County -wide tax initiatives, including Measure A (parks and open space), Measure H (homelessness services), and Measure R (transportation infrastructure improvements). These measures, which have county- wide benefit but limit local returns to a fraction of the contributions made by local residents, have increased the total sales tax rate in Diamond Bar to 9.5%. The state caps the total sales rate at 10.25%, leaving a total of 0.75% unallocated. The County of Los Angeles is exploring the possibility of additional sales tax initiatives in 2020 and/or 2022, which would further reduce or fully exhaust the unallocated balance, in essence precluding the City from considering an increase in its own sales tax. In an effort to increase revenues and ensure sales tax dollars stay local, many California cities have called elections to increase or establish a local transactions and use tax. These local ballot measures have proven to be very popular with voters, with a 90% statewide success rate in 2018 (52 of 58 measures passed), including the following localities: • Covina (57.9% yes) • Garden Grove (63.1 % yes) • La Puente (72.6% yes) • Norco (56.4% yes) • Placentia (61.8% yes) • Pomona (64.5% yes) • Santa Ana (56.5% yes) • Santa Fe Springs (74.9% yes) • Seal Beach (59.0% yes) Local agencies have continued this trend in 2019, with the following cities conducting measures: • Arcadia (64% yes) • Burbank (62% yes) Packet Pg. 10 • Claremont (51 % no) • Glendora (54% yes) • Irwindale (63% yes) • Monrovia (63% yes) • Sierra Madre (80% yes) • South Pasadena (66% yes) There will be more SGV cities with similar measures on the March 2020 ballot. LOCAL TRANSACTIONS AND USE TAX MEASURE The City Council may consider a local transactions and use tax up to 0.75%. If approved by the voters, the 0.75% add -on rate would result in an estimated $3.8 million in new revenues annually. This revenue stays local with the City. As a general-purpose tax, revenues are unrestricted and may be used for any City purpose as determined by the City Council. If approved, the funding would provide a dedicated, long-term funding source for items including, but not limited to: • Public Safety programs, including: o Enhanced Sheriff's patrols o Prevention of property crimes (focusing on burglary and larceny theft) • New park and facility development and renovation. • Maintenance of local streets, facilities, landscaped areas, and other public infrastructure. • Needed circulation improvements to relieve traffic congestion. • Opportunities to expand programs and services for the diverse needs of the community, including youth and seniors. • Long-term financial sustainability of the City, including reserve accounts and reduction of pension liability. If a transactions and use tax of 0.75% was approved by the voters, the total sales tax rate in Diamond Bar would be 10.25% and distributed as follows: Total Sales Tax Breakdown (with Transactions & Use Tax) State General Fund 3.9375% Local General Fund (Bradley -Burns) Current Diamond Bar Share 1.00% Diamond Bar Transactions & Use Tax 0.75% Packet Pg. 11 Countywide Transportation Fund 0.25% County Realignment for Mental Health Welfare/Public Safety 1.5625% Public Safety Augmentation Fund 0.50% County Transportation Measures (Prop.A, Prop. C, Measure R, Measure M) 2.00% County Homeless Services (Measure H) 0.25% Total 10.25% ELECTION PROCESS In general, there are three options the City Council may consider to conduct a tax measure, including: 1. Upon a minimum two-thirds vote of the City Council, call an election placing the measure on the ballot consolidated with the next scheduled City Council election scheduled for November 6, 2020. The measure would be approved upon a majority vote of the electorate. 2. Upon a minimum two-thirds vote of the City Council, call a special election. Because the measure was considered at a special election separate from the regular City Council election, it is considered a special tax that would be approved upon a minimum two-thirds vote of the electorate. 3. Upon a unanimous vote of the City Council, declare a local fiscal emergency. Then, upon a minimum two-thirds vote of the City Council, call a special election. Because the Council has declared a local fiscal emergency, the measure would be approved upon a majority vote of the electorate even though it was considered at a special election. A special election would require additional appropriation of resources and reduce the period of public education and outreach. Further, current budgetary conditions limit the City Council's ability to appropriately justify a local fiscal emergency. CONCLUSION At this time, staff seeks City Council direction to begin development and deployment of public outreach and education materials related to a potential measure. The City Council's final decision on the matter will remain contingent upon the approval of the Packet Pg. 12 resolutions required to call the election and place the matter before the voters. LEGAL REVIEW The City Attorney has reviewed and approved this report for conformance with California election law. Packet Pg. 13 6.1 Agenda #: 6.1 Meeting Date: November 19, 2019 CITY COUNCIL ®!

Cindy Liu, Taiwanese American Cultural Society, presented the City Council with a Certificate of Appreciation for their support of the October 6th Multi -Cultural Festival. Pui-Ching Ho spoke about programs and events taking place at the Diamond Bar Library during the month of November. She invited residents to visit the library's Packet Pg. 15 6.1.a November 5, 2019 PAGE 2 CITY COUNCIL website at httPs://IacountylibrarV.org/diamond-bar-library/ for additional information regarding library programs and events, many of which are sponsored by The Friends of the Library. Emerson Chen asked the City to help him with tree roots that are damaging the concrete in front of his house where he has lived for 30 years. 4. RESPONSE TO PUBLIC COMMENTS: CM/Fox said that staff is aware of Mr. Chen's complaints and has been working with him for the last several months. Staff members have made several visits to the property and explained the process for tree removals and that the City removes trees if they are causing structural damage or if they are unhealthy. The City sent an Arborist to the property several times and staff is in the process of finalizing a report that should be done in the next couple of days. Staff anticipates that the trees are healthy and that root pruning may address Mr. Chen's concerns. Mr. Chen has continued to raise concerns about the trees because he does not want the trees that are adjacent to his property. This is not an item on the Council's agenda nor would this be an item that would normally come to the Council for consideration. Staff continues to work with Mr. Chen to the best extent possible. 5.

PUBLIC HEARING(S): 7.1 ORDINANCE NO. 02 (2019) — AMENDMENTS TO DIAMOND BAR MUNICIPAL CODE SECTIONS 2.32.040(G), 2.36.040(G) AND 2.40.040(G) REVISING COMMISSION MEETING TIMES. PRD/Wright presented staff's report stating that the Parks and Recreation Commission meets on the fourth Thursday of each month and the Traffic and Transportation Commission meets on the second Thursday of each month. Each monthly agenda typically provides information that staff considers routine in nature, which include information on upcoming events, previous events, maintenance updates, etc. Based on varying work schedules and traffic conditions as well as, scheduling conflicts, Commissioner's attendance has varied over the past year and at times, has resulted in a lack of quorum. On occasion there will be an agenda item that is unique that requires Commission feedback and special attention such as, Sportsmanship Award Winners, park designs (Heritage Parking and Sunset Crossing Park) which typically occur three to four times a year. Similarly, the Traffic and Transportation Commission receives monthly updates on various projects and programs including the Sheriff's Department's statistical reports. The typical Parks and Recreation Commission meeting lasts about 30 minutes whereas, Traffic and Transportation Commission meetings usually last from 30 to 60 Packet Pg. 17 November 5, 2019 PAGE 4 6.1.a CITY COUNCIL minutes. The meetings are run efficiently and in good order, of course, and at times, the amount of time required by Commissioners and staff to prepare reports, commute, etc. takes more time than the actual meetings themselves. Rarely, do either Commissions receive input/feedback from the public because in present times the public generally looks to the City for immediate feedback through phone calls, email, social media, etc. In addition, Commissions may call special meetings as needed at any time which has not happened but can be scheduled should the need arise. The proposed ordinance would allow the City Council to establish Commission meeting dates, locations and time by resolution which would match the process City Council meetings fall under which is under Section 2 which states that the date and time of regular meetings shall be established by resolution of the City Council and, this would allow for greater flexibility to meet current and future scheduling modifications without the need to amend the ordinance. The Parks and Recreation Commission addressed this item several months ago and passed it by a vote of 3-1. The Traffic and Transportation Commission addressed this item and passed it as well by a vote of 4-0 a vote to move to a bi-monthly meeting beginning in January 2020. Should the City Council introduce this ordinance, an accompanying resolution would be presented at the next Council meeting on November 19' to establish a bi-monthly meeting beginning in January 2020 for both the Parks and Recreation Commission as well as, the Traffic and Transportation Commission. There would be no changes to the Planning Commission meeting as they schedule meetings twice a month. PRD/Wright and PWD/Liu are present should the City Council have any questions. C/Lyons said that when she served on the Parks and Recreation Commission and meetings were on the 4t" Thursday, it was always a problem in November and December because of the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Perhaps the Parks and Recreation Commission should meet on the 1st or 3rd Thursday. She thinks the bi-monthly (every other month) meeting is probably a very good idea except for November/December meetings. PRD/Wright said that C/Lyons is correct. Each year, the Parks and Recreation Commission addresses this issue at their October meeting which they did this October and accordingly, the Commission elected to not schedule meetings in either November or December and reconvene in January 2020. C/Chou said that he was struck by PRD/Wright's statement that staff is spending more time preparing for the meeting than the actual meeting takes which means there is certainly room for improvement. He asked PRD/Wright to talk to the Commissioner's stipend and staff's time and overtime to prepare for the meetings so that the City Council might have a sense of potential cost -savings.

Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: COUNCIL CONSIDERATION: None Chou, Low, Lyons, MPT/Tye, M/Herrera None None COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS AND MEETING ATTENDANCE REPORTS/COUNCIL MEMBER COMMENTS: C/Chou said it has been a busy couple of weeks since the last Council meeting. He thanked staff for the Grand Reopening Ribbon Cutting Ceremony today at Sycamore Canyon Park. It was very well attended and the Council was present to support the event. The outcome of the project was excellent with the inlet and stair buildout. Congratulations to staff. The residents and Council Members very much appreciate all of your work on this project. C/Chou visited It's Everyday Coffee Shop which took over the It's a Grind location and are offering more menu items. He is looking forward to their success and hopes that the Council will honor them as a New Business of the Month in the near future. He congratulated Boy Scout Troop 777 on their 50t" Anniversary. Many Council Members were on hand to help with the celebration of this momentous occasion. He thanked the first responders and firefighters for addressing the scare the City had a couple of weeks ago with the Brea fire. The first responders were on the scene very Packet Pg. 19 6.1.a November 5, 2019 PAGE 6 CITY COUNCIL quickly and he was there to witness the manpower and resources allocated almost immediately to fight the fire during winds of 40-50 mph. Thank you to the firefighters for a job well done and for keeping the community safe. C/Low said it was great fun this morning (being at the Sycamore Canyon Grand Reopening) and the work is superior. The City and residents are very appreciative that after three years that beautiful trail is open. There was lots of enthusiasm expressed. She thanked staff and offered a special thanks for getting the bulk of the funding from FEMA. She also thanked staff for a great Halloween party last Saturday with kids and animals and humans and their costumes which showcases the great community of Diamond Bar. As of October 18th there is a new sign on the SR60 near the Lemon Avenue off ramp dedicating that area to Mayor Jack Tanaka (the Mayor Jack Tanaka Highway). Thank -you to residents and efforts of Senator Ling Ling Chang and to Caltrans for getting this done which is a great tribute to Mayor Tanaka and the recognition of his work on behalf of Diamond Bar. She thanked the firefighters who were able to so quickly and so effectively put out the fire on October 30th. The community greatly appreciates their service. C/Lyons said she made it to all 29 restaurants during Restaurant Week and she has the photos and weight gain to prove it. It was fun visiting old favorite restaurants and discovering new restaurants. A big thank -you to SMA/Lopez whose energy and can -do attitude made this event a success beyond her wildest dreams. It was terrific and there will probably be more about this event at the next City Council meeting. Staff has executed and planned many festive events over the past couple of weeks. The Halloween party was great and the best part was seeing the little kids dressed up and excited. The Grand Reopening of Sycamore Canyon Park Trail was already being enjoyed by many people and there were about 80 individuals celebrating the event at Sycamore Park. With respect to the firefighters and the fire, the Council was actually honoring the Public Safety officers, and the firefighters and the Sheriff Department's personnel were at a luncheon honoring them when the fire broke out so the fire department went through the line to get food, sat down to eat and almost immediately were called to fight the fire. Diamond Bar is very proud of them and everything they did to prevent the fire from getting to Diamond Bar. All three events were very well executed by staff and Council appreciates staff's dedication. She and MPT/Tye also celebrated the 50th Anniversary of Boy Scout Troop 777 along with C/Chou. Diamond Bar is a better place for having troops here for such a long period of time providing community service to Diamond Bar. Last week she attended a meeting regarding voting solutions for all people — VSAP. If you vote in person, the way you vote will change beginning in 2020. There are a lot of interesting facts about the new system including there will be 11 days to vote and there will be a thousand locations all over LA County where people can vote meaning there will be places close to where one works, shops or goes to school. She showed a picture of what the new voting booth looks like. The process is very much like it is today but people will be voting on something that looks a lot like an iPad as opposed to an INKA ballot. She was able to try out the equipment which was very easy to use and she has asked CM/Fox to get the demo machine to Diamond Bar so that residents can check it out as well. For Packet Pg. 20 November 5, 2019 PAGE 7 6.1.a CITY COUNCIL those who vote by mail there will be no change. She hopes to see a lot of veterans at the City's Veterans Day Celebration. Congratulations to M/Herrera for being selected as the one and only active board member across the entirety of North America for the year. It is a big honor and very appropriate given the number of years M/Herrera has spent on transportation issues and Diamond Bar is proud to have M/Herrera as its Mayor. MPT/Tye said the Halloween party was a lot of fun. He wonders about the people that not only dressed up their dog but left the house looking like their dog. It was great fun to see the kids playing and over 500 people coming out in costume and playing carnival games. Great job by staff — thank you very, very much. The one thing that was the most meaningful was the Troop 777's 50th Anniversary. Diamond Bar is only 30 years old and they have been around since prior to cityhood. Herb Hurst had the vision to start that troop in 1969 and to paraphrase Confucius, if you are planning for one year, plant rice; if you planning for 10 years, plant trees and, if your plan is for 50 years, start a Boy Scout Troop and 50 years and 130 Eagle Scouts later, Troop 777 is still going strong. Congratulations to them and their current Scout Master Martin Cardenas who continues to lead them. M/Herrera said that as her colleagues have stated, it has been a busy couple of weeks and staff has been very active and busy with different events including the Halloween party with all of the dogs, the Appreciation Luncheon for Public Safety and upcoming this Thursday, the salute to the Veterans. Thanks to staff for all of the good work they do. She thanked Foothill Transit for supporting her in receiving the award. One does not achieve these kinds of awards in a vacuum. It takes a lot of people to support a person who achieves things and Foothill Transit has always been very supportive and the City of Diamond Bar is always very supportive of the various activities that City Council Members take part in. Thanks to all of her colleagues for the great jobs they do.

OLD BUSINESS: None 4. NEW BUSINESS: 4.1 CANYON LOOP MULTI -USE TRAIL PROJECT DESIGN — PRDMright PRDANright reported that the Canyon Loop Trail is about a 1.29-mile loop within the City's Open Space done which is part of the Summitridge Trail System that includes about 5 miles of trail. This project is to identify deficiencies and research opportunities to make the trail more accessible where there are steep grades that might need landscape dies or stairways, including improving additional rest areas and updating the directional signage. Since last month the City has been working with Richard Fisher Associates who provides technical expertise, frail designs and amenities for consi deration as well as, upcoming construction plans and specs and cost estimates. Currently, the project is at the stage of modifying the design, and the plan is. for staff to fake this matter to City Council for consideration on October 15th followed by a second meeting in early February 2020 with a request for authorization to bid the project for construction which, if approved, is slaked to take place from April to June 2020. Richard Fisher, Richard Fisher 'Associates, provided an update using a cower point presentation and PRDNVriaht asked Commissioners to provide feedback to staff an this proposed project. VC/Hsieh said she was pleased about the proposed improvements but at Pantera Park by the tennis court there is a picture map of the trail and she does not believe this portion of the Canyon' Loop trail is included. She wondered if there was a plan to include visuals with X marking the spot where the hiker has reached along the frail. Way finding signs are goad but do not let you know at what point you are in the trail overall. She recommended keeping the current signs and including visual maps to give hikers an " overhead" view of where they are on the trail, In addition, she Packet Pg. 24 SEPTEMBER 26,2019 PAGE 3 P&R COMMISSION 6.2.a would like to see some mini least one portion of the trail. mal exercise equipment such as lift bars in at C/Liang asked about funding for the project. PRDIVVright responded that the City has roughly $485,000 set aside for construction, most of which has come from grant funding. The City receives monies from Measure W, Measure A, and the Habitat Conservation Fund. C/Salo wondered if staff had considered taming up with a unified landscape color theme to blend with and conform to the parks overall. PRD/VVright said that trail landscaping, aesthetics and color are very similar to park landscaping, aesthetics and color in design and materials from both a " branding" and maintenance standpoint, Over time, one of the goals for both recreation and public works departments is to become more consistent in providing a parks and trails theme so that people know they are in Diamond Bar. 5.

AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager i TITLE: AUTHORIZATION TO SUBMIT A SB 2 PLANNING GRANTS PROGRAM APPLICATION. STRATEGIC GOAL: Responsible Stewardship of Public Resources RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. 2019-XX, authorizing staff to submit a SB 2 Planning Grants Program application to the Department of Housing and Community Development. FINANCIAL IMPACT: If awarded, up to $160,000 in grant funds will be available for the preparation of the 6th cycle Housing Element. BACKGROUND: The Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) issued the release of Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for approximately $123 million under the Senate Bill 2 (SB 2, 2017) Planning Grants Program (PGP). SB 2 established a permanent source of funding intended to increase the affordable housing stock in California. The legislation directs the Department to use 50 percent of the first year's revenue to establish a program that provides financial and technical assistance to local governments to update planning documents and land use ordinances. The PGP is intended for the preparation, adoption, and implementation of plans that streamline housing approvals and accelerate housing production. SB 2 is a non-competitive program. As long as a local government meets the threshold requirements, any locality is eligible for funding. Threshold eligibility includes compliance with the housing element and related Annual Progress Report submittal requirements, a nexus to accelerating housing production, and actions consistent with State and other planning priorities. HCD is requiring jurisdictions to adopt a resolution authorizing the application for and Packet Pg. 39 6.4 receipt of PGP funds as part of the application submittal. If funding is approved, the resolution authorizes a City designee to enter into, execute, and deliver a State of California Agreement (Standard Agreement) for the awarded amount. Any and all activities funded, information provided, and timelines represented in the application will be enforceable through the executed Standard Agreement. ANALYSIS: The City will be required to prepare a Housing Element for the planning period of 2021- 2029 (6th cycle) in accordance with State law. The City's existing Housing Element identifies strategies and programs that focus on: 1) Conserving and improving existing affordable housing; 2) Providing adequate housing sites; 3) Assisting in the development of affordable housing; 4) Removing governmental and other constraints to the housing development; and 5) Promoting equal housing opportunities. Recently, HCD released the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) determination for the Southern California Association of Governments, which was 1.34 million new housing units for the planning period of 2021-2029. Although the numbers allocated to each jurisdiction is not yet finalized, the City is anticipating the need for zoning amendments to accommodate the local RHNA allocation. The City intends to submit a grant application to fund the preparation of the upcoming Housing Element and associated CEQA document, which will include the evaluation of the City's existing supply of affordable housing, its policies and programs, and zoning amendments to accommodate the anticipated RHNA numbers. The maximum grant amount available for the City of Diamond Bar is $160,000. The grant application is due November 30, 2019, and HCD will notify applicants within 30-60 days thereafter. Projects funded by the grant must be encumbered by June 30, 2020 and expended by June 30, 2022. The Housing Element process takes approximately one year to complete and must be adopted by October 2021, which is consistent with the grant timeline. ayu akajima, Associat fanner 11/19/2019 Packet Pg. 40 N =kvj I MiTA =111 TS 6.4 414 Gr e Lee, enior Planner 11/5/2019 Gr Gubma ommuni Deve opment Director 11/12/2019 AAra AAr na oneywell, Finan irector 11/12/2019 Attachments: 1. 6.4.a Resolution No. 2019-XX 2. 6.4.b Notice of Funding Availability - SIB 2 Planning Grants Program Packet Pg. 41 6.4.a RESOLUTION NO. 2019-XX A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR, COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, AUTHORIZING APPLICATION FOR, AND RECEIPT OF, SB 2 PLANNING GRANTS PROGRAM FUNDS.

The PGP program is intended for the preparation, adoption, and implementation of plans that streamline housing approvals and accelerate housing production. The PGP is authorized by Health and Safety Code sections 50470 et seq. (Chapter 364, Statutes of 2017, (SB 2)). Funding is subject to the December 2018 Planning Grants Program Guidelines (hereinafter referred to as the "Guidelines"), which includes detailed information on eligibility requirements, conditions, and procedures for awarding funds. II. Program Summary SB 2 (2017) is part of a 15 bill housing package aimed at addressing the state's housing shortage and high housing costs. Specifically, SB 2 established a permanent source of revenue intended to increase the affordable housing stock in California. PGP grants are funded through 50 percent of the revenues collected during the first calendar year (January through December, 2018). The PGP program is a one-time component of SB 2 that, among other provisions, provides financial and technical assistance to local governments to update planning documents in order to: • Accelerate housing production; • Streamline the approval of housing development affordable to owner and renter households at all income levels; • Facilitate housing affordability, particularly for all income groups; • Promote development consistent with the State Planning Priorities; and • Ensure geographic equity in the distribution and expenditure of allocated funds The Department, in conjunction with the Governor's Office of Planning and Research, will provide technical assistance to localities pursuant to the provisions set forth in Article VI I, Section 700(a) through (e) of the Guidelines. For further information, contact the Department at sb2planninggrant(q_)_hcd.ca.gov for details regarding local technical assistance.

CA HCD Notice of Funding Availability 9 SB 2 Planning Grants NOFA Year-1 Packet Pg. 55 6.5 Agenda #: 6.5 Meeting Date: November 19, 2019 CITY COUNCIL ®! AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager i TITLE: TRANSMITTAL OF THE FISCAL YEAR 2018-2019 COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT. STRATEGIC GOAL: Responsible Stewardship of Public Resources RECOMMENDATION: Receive and File. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is adequate funding for the preparation of the annual audit and Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) included in the Finance Department's Operations Budget. BACKGROUND: The Fiscal Year (FY) 2018-2019 annual audit has been completed by the City's independent audit firm of Lance, Soll and Lunghard, LLP (LSL). The City's Finance Department, in concert with the LSL, has prepared the FY 2018-2019 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). The City's Audit Subcommittee, which is comprised of Mayor Carol Herrera and Mayor Pro-Tem Steve Tye, met with LSL twice; once to discuss the planning of the audit; and a second time to discuss the results of the audit. In the opinion of LSL, the financial statements reflect fairly the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2019. The CAFR has been prepared in conformance with the requirements of the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34. As a result, the report format includes the Management Discussion and Analysis, Required Supplementary Information and the Government -wide Financial Statements which include the Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities. A copy of the FY 2018-2019 CAFR is included as Attachment 1. Packet Pg. 56 6.5 ANALYSIS: For FY 2018-2019, the total revenue from all sources was $42,524,705. Total revenue was up over the previous year by $10.3 million with increases in most categories including charges for services, property tax, investment income and transient occupancy tax revenues. A significant portion of the increase includes a one-time receipt of a $6.5 million traffic mitigation payment which is earmarked for traffic improvements throughout the City related to the Grand Crossing Development and the Industry Business Center. The total cost of all City programs totaled $39,485,975. Total expenditures were up $1.9 million over the previous year. This is due primarily to the purchase of the Tres Hermanos property, an increase to public safety costs and the completion of Parks & Facilities capital improvement projects. The total General Fund reserve balance as of June 30, 2019 was $23.1 million which is lower by $839,000 compared to last year. The City Council identified specific projects during FY 2018-2019 to be funded by General Fund Reserves. These projects included various capital improvement projects, the purchase of the Tres Hermanos property, funding for the finance and land management systems and the supplemental funding for the Landscape Lighting Assessment Districts. Projects funded with General Fund reserves totaled $3,876,763. The 2018-2019 CAFR includes the fund balance reserve reporting methodology set forth in GASB Statement No. 54. The City Council approved a Fund Balance Policy on June 7, 2011 which established an amount of $4.5 million as a formal commitment of fund balance to be set aside as an emergency contingency for Federal, State or Local emergencies. This amount is included within the $23.1 million General Fund reserve balance noted above. Beginning with next year's CAFR, the recently adopted Fund Balance Policy will take effect. GASB Statement No. 68 requires the inclusion of Net Pension Liability in the Statement of Net Position. As of June 30, 2019, the City reported total net pension liability of $5,424,380. The City's plan is approximately 79% funded which is considered very good compared with other cities. More information may be found in Note 7 of the CAFR. As required by GASB Statement No. 75, the CAFR also includes disclosure of the City's Other Post -Employment Benefits (OPEB) liability. In connection with the retirement benefits for employees provided through California Public Employees Retirement System (CaIPERS), the City provides post -retirement health care benefits to retirees through the CalPERS Health Benefits program. Although the retiree pays most of the cost of this benefit, the City is required to pay a portion of this cost. The City's OPEB obligation is derived from this benefit. The City engaged the services of the firm Demsey, Filliger & Associates for an updated actuarial valuation of the City's retiree health insurance program as of July 1, 2017. This valuation is required to be updated every two years. The City's net OPEB obligation at June 30, 2019 was $520,905. The City's plan has $345,827 (40% funded) in a trust held by California Employers' Retiree Packet Pg. 57 6.5 Benefit Trust (CERBT). There is an additional $261,468 (30%) set aside in a reserve fund held by the City for future contributions to the trust for a total funding status of 70%. This is also considered very good compared to other cities. More information may be found in Note 8 of the CAFR.

Low Council Member Nancy A. Lyons Council Member It is an honor to submit to you the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of the City of Diamond Bar for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. This report consists of management's representations concerning the finances of the City. Consequently, responsibility for both the accuracy of the presented data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the City's management. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the City has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the City's assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City's financial statements in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the City's comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide assurance that the financial statements will be free from misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material aspects. The City's financial statements have been audited by Lance, Solt, & Lunghard, LLP, a firm of certified public accountants. The goal of the independent audit is to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the City for fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor concluded based upon the audit that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified opinion that the City's financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, were fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditor's report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report. Packet Pg. 66 6.5.a GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement and should be read in conjunction with the MD&A. The City's MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors. PROFILE OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR The City of Diamond Bar was incorporated on April 18, 1989, and is located at the eastern edge of Los Angeles County in the East San Gabriel Valley. Diamond Bar is a relatively young residential community of about 57,000, situated among the meandering hills and valleys of Brea Canyon. Many desired services can be found in Diamond Bar's shopping and business centers. Recreational opportunities within the City include more than 75 acres of developed park facilities, hiking trails, a community center, an 18-hole public golf course and more than 370 acres of undeveloped publicly owned open space. Diamond Bar is also strategically located at the junction of the SR-57 and SR-60 freeways with easy access to 1-10 and SR-71 freeways. This makes Diamond Bar a desirable and convenient location to live and work within close proximity to Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Diamond Bar is a General Law city and operates under the council-manager form of government. Policy making and legislative authority are vested in a five- member City Council. The City Council is responsible, among other things, for passing ordinances, adopting the budget, appointing Commissioners, and hiring both the City Manager and contracting for City Attorney services. The Council Members are elected on a non -partisan basis and serve four-year staggered terms, with elections held every other year. Each December, the City Council selects a Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem from its membership. The City Manager is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the City, and for appointing the heads of the various departments. The City of Diamond Bar operates primarily as a "contract city" utilizing agreements with other governmental agencies, private sector firms and individuals to provide many of its essential services. This includes police services, animal services, building and safety services, engineering, road maintenance and landscape maintenance. Packet Pg. 67 6.5.a The Los Angeles County Fire District provides fire protection, which is independent of the City. Los Angeles County also provides library services through a Library District, and sewer and sanitation services through a Sanitation District. Funds for these services are collected through property tax bills and are disbursed directly by the Los Angeles County Tax Collector's Office to those entities. Water services for the City are provided by the Walnut Valley Water District. Refuse collection is provided by private waste collection companies. Additionally, schools are provided by both the Walnut Valley Unified School District and the Pomona Unified School District. Accordingly, none of these activities are included in this report. ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK Fiscal year 2018/19 saw the national, state and local economies begin to level off. Unemployment rates have remained low. However, local consumer spending began to show signs of slowing. The housing market also showed signs of balancing with resale homes prices dipping and the length of time for homes to sell increasing. Fiscal year 2018/19 was another year of closely monitoring revenues, while holding costs to prior year levels wherever possible. The General Fund reserves did decrease by $856,973 during FY 2018/19 with the unassigned fund balance decreasing to $18.6 million and total General Fund reserves coming in at $23.1 million. The primary reason for the decrease in reserves is due to their use to fund various Capital Improvement Projects, the Tres Hermanos property acquisition and related legal fees. The largest revenue source to the City, Property Tax revenue, was up 4.4%. The housing market started off slow during the first three quarters of the fiscal year but was a bit stronger in the fourth quarter when compared to FY 2017/18. Full value sales during FY 2018/19 numbered 379. The average detached home price at June 30, 2019 was $835,129 while the median price was $705,500. These levels are 0.77% and 5.2% lower, respectively, than June 30, 2018. Assessed valuations citywide increased by 4.63% while the countywide assessed valuations increased by 6.5%. The City's sales tax revenue decreased slightly by 0.58% compared to last year. City officials have been working diligently towards its economic development goal to diversify its sales tax base. FY 2018/19 saw the addition of the Habit Burger Grill who joined Spouts, Ross, Chipotle and Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf at the newly renovated Diamond Ranch Center. Packet Pg. 68 6.5.a Voters successfully passed Measure Q in the November 2018 elections increasing the City's Transient Occupancy Tax. Construction in the new South Pointe development was completed. As the City looks forward to FY 2019/20 there are many exciting projects on the horizon. Residents will continue to see additional local and nationally recognized retail and restaurant businesses open their doors in FY 2019/20. A new Hampton Inn Suites and office development is anticipated to complete the entitlement process and commence construction. The City will continue to investment in the City's infrastructure with focus on traffic signal infrastructure system upgrades and road rehabilitation projects through the Capital Improvement Program. Finally, the 2040 Comprehensive General Plan Update is expected to be completed following a three-year interactive, dynamic and exciting community process. The City's future economic health is being secured by building healthy reserves through fiscally conservative budgets and policies in addition to aggressively pursuing economic development opportunities. AWARDS The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Diamond Bar for its comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. The Certificate of Achievement is a prestigious national award recognizing conformance with the highest standards for preparation of state and local financial reports. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government unit must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial report, with contents that conform to program standards. The CAFR must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements. A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. The City of Diamond Bar has received the Certificate of Achievement for the last twenty-four consecutive years (fiscal years ended 1995 through 2018). We believe our current report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program's requirements and we will be submitting it to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate. iv Packet Pg. 69 6.5.a REPORTING ENTITY AND ITS SERVICES This Comprehensive Annual Financial Report includes all funds of the City. The City directly provides a limited range of services and contracts for several other services. The City's significant reliance on contracted services has the benefit of reducing expenses to the citizens of the City of Diamond Bar while simultaneously providing the City with a high degree of flexibility in responding to changing economic conditions. Contracted services include police protection, building and safety, street maintenance, park maintenance, capital improvement projects, animal control, attorney services and engineering. Staff provided services include: community development (which includes planning, economic development, building and safety management, and neighborhood improvement), public works (which includes engineering, capital projects administration, street maintenance contract management, traffic and transportation matters, engineering contract management, park maintenance, landscape maintenance and solid waste contract management), parks & recreation (which includes senior services, recreation services, community events and community center operation), public information, subsidized transit ticket sales, grant administration, financial management and administrative management. All of these activities are included in this report. INTERNAL CONTROLS The City of Diamond Bar's accounting system has been developed by giving consideration to the adequacy of internal accounting controls. Internal accounting controls are implemented by the City to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition; and that the City's financial records used for preparing financial statements are maintained in a reliable fashion. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of these controls should not exceed the benefits derived from them. The City's internal controls accomplish these objectives. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The preparation of this Comprehensive Annual Financial Report was made possible by the dedicated service and excellence found within the City's Finance Department staff, and through the cooperation of the entire City staff. Each City staff member has my sincere appreciation for their cooperation and contributions in the preparation of this Report. V Packet Pg. 70 6.5.a I would like to thank Dianna Honeywell, Finance Director, for her prudent fiscal stewardship. In addition, I would also like to thank our independent auditor, Lance, Soll, and Lunghard, LLP, who provided expertise and advice in the preparation of the City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. In closing, without the leadership and support of the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar, the preparation of this Report would not have been possible.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor's Responsibility Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. PrimeGlobal Packet Pg. 76 6.5.a LSU9::: To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Diamond Bar, California Opinions In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Diamond Bar, California, as of June 30, 2019, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's discussion and analysis, the budgetary comparison schedules for the General Fund and Traffic Improvement Fund, the schedule of proportionate share of the net pension liability, the schedule of plan contributions - pension, the schedule of changes in net OPEB liability and related ratios, and the schedule of contributions — OPEB to be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Other Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules and statistical section are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them. 2 Packet Pg. 77 6.5.a LSU9::: To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Diamond Bar, California Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 4, 2019 on our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City's internal control over financial reporting and compliance. Brea, California November 4, 2019 3 Packet Pg. 78 6.5.a THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK Packet Pg. 79 6.5.a Management's Discussion and Analysis As management of the City of Diamond Bar, we offer readers this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal. Financial Highlights • The total revenues from all sources totaled $42,524,705. • The total cost of all City programs totaled $39,485,975. • The assets of the City of Diamond Bar exceeded its liabilities at the close of the fiscal year by $384,902,155 (net position). Of this amount, $21,083,148 represents unrestricted net position may be used to meet the City's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. • As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City of Diamond Bar's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $36,353,312, an increase of $6,686,181 in comparison with the prior year. Approximately $18.0 million of the $36.4 million is available for spending at the City's discretion. • At the end of the current fiscal year, unrestricted fund balance for the general fund was $18,583,174, or 77.6% of the amount of general fund expenditures. The General Fund unrestricted balance of $18.6 million is in addition to a $4.5 million reserve for emergencies as established by City Council resolution. Overview of the Financial Statements This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the City of Diamond Bar's basic financial statements. The City of Diamond Bar's basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government -wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves. Government -wide financial statements - The government -wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City of Diamond Bar's finances, in a manner similar to a private -sector business. 5 Packet Pg. 80 6.5.a The statement of net position presents financial information on all of the City of Diamond Bar's assets, liabilities and deferred inflows/outflows of resources with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City of Diamond Bar is improving or deteriorating. The statement of activities presents information showing how the City's net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave). Both of the government -wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City of Diamond Bar that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business -type activities). The governmental activities of the City of Diamond Bar include general government, public safety, highways and streets, community development, and parks and recreation. The City of Diamond Bar currently has no business -type activities or enterprise funds. The government -wide financial statements include not only the City of Diamond Bar itself, but also a legally separate financing authority. Although legally separate, the Diamond Bar Financing Authority is included because the City is financially accountable for it. Fund financial statements - A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City of Diamond Bar, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance -related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds. Governmental Funds - Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. However, unlike the government -wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near -term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in assessing the near -term financing requirements necessary to finance City programs. 6 Packet Pg. 81 6.5.a Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government -wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impacts of the City's near -term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. The City of Diamond Bar adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general fund. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for the general fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget. Proprietary Funds - The type of proprietary funds that the City maintains are internal service funds that are used to allocate costs internally among the various functions of the City. The City of Diamond Bar uses these funds to account for its liability insurance costs and vehicle, building and computer replacement costs. Because these services predominantly benefit governmental rather than business -type functions, they have been included within governmental activities within the government -wide financial statements. Notes to the Financial Statements - The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government -wide and fund financial statements. Other Information - In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information concerning the City's budgetary control and accounting and expenditures in excess of appropriations. Government -wide Financial Analysis As noted earlier, net position over time, may serve over time as a useful indicator of the City's financial position. The City of Diamond Bar's assets exceeded liabilities by $384,902,155 at the close of 2019 (see Table 1). By far the largest portion of the City's net position (90.9%) is its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, infrastructure, machinery, equipment, and construction in progress), less the related outstanding debt used to acquire those assets. The City of Diamond Bar uses these capital assets to provide services to its citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City's investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

This reason for this overall increase is due primarily to a one-time receipt for traffic mitigation projects offset by depreciation expense. At the end of fiscal year 2019 the City reports a decrease of $187,593 in the unrestricted net position from the prior fiscal year. The City has continually expended its resources conservatively in anticipation of economic downturns and future capital needs which has resulted in being able to end the year with $21,083,148 in Unrestricted Net Position. 8 Packet Pg. 83 6.5.a Table 2 City of Diamond Bar's Changes in Net Position Revenues: Program revenues: Charges for services Operating grants and contributions Capital grants and contributions General Revenues Property taxes Transient occupancy taxes Sales Taxes Franchise Taxes Other taxes Motor vehicle in lieu Use of money & property Other Total revenues Expenses: General Government Public Safety Highways and Streets Community Development Parks, Recreation and Culture Contribution to OPEB Trust Interest and Fiscal Charges Total expenses 2019 $14,919,706 5,651,932 12,595 5,405,335 1,222,925 4,970,980 1,355,003 1,062,003 6,285,504 1,397,727 240,995 42,524,705 8,990,203 7,142,733 13,644,523 3,069,374 6,149,343 87,128 402,671 39,485,975 2018 $8,533,432 4,120, 526 159,258 5,187,630 1,019,915 4,999,873 1,419,605 509,322 6,011,177 67,046 161,145 32,188,929 6,926,331 6,904,971 14,612,857 3,083,101 5,532,810 84,591 423,400 37,568,061 Increase(Decrease) in net position 3,038,730 (5,379,132) Net position - beginning 381,863,425 387,402,734 Restatement of Net Position - (160,177) Net position - ending $384,902,155 381. 663,425 Revenues In the Statement of Activities, the City's total revenues were $42.5 million, while the total cost of all programs and services was $39.5 million. Revenues this fiscal year were 32.1 % higher than those of the prior year. Nearly every category saw increases in FY 18/19. The following are highlights of some of the major differences: • Property Tax revenues were up 4.4% from FY 18/19. Housing sales remained consistent which allowed the County to increase overall assessed valuations by 6.5% during FY 18/19 while Diamond Bar's assessed valuations were up by 4.6% during FY 18/19. 9 Packet Pg. 84 6.5.a • Transient Occupancy Taxes were higher by $203,000 or 19.9%. This is directly related to the increase to the TOT tax rate from 10% to 14% in December 2018. • Sales tax revenues decreased slightly by 0.58% compared to last year. Local consumer spending has shown signs of slowing which is reflected in lower revenue in this category. • The Charges for Services category increased 75% because the City received a one-time payment of $6.5 million which is earmarked for traffic improvements throughout the City related to the Grand Crossing Development and the Industry Business Center. • Investment Income increased by 34.0%, excluding the fair market value adjustment of $680,492 due to higher idle cash balances available to invest into the bond market coupled with more of the City's portfolio being further diversified into higher yielding investments such as highly rated corporate bonds and California municipal bonds. The Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) rate also continued to improve and ended the fiscal year at 2.43%. By the end of FY 18/19 the City's overall investment yield increased from 1.71% in FY 17/18 to 2.12% in FY 18/19. Expenses Once again this year, the City has continued to be very diligent in controlling growth in expenses. This year expenses for the City totaled $39.5 million which is approximately $1.9 million, or 5.1 % higher than the previous fiscal year. This increase was due primarily to the purchase of the Tres Hermanos property, a small increase to public safety costs and the completion of Parks & Facilities capital improvement projects. The changes in various categories are as follows: • There was an increase in General Government expenses of approximately 29.8% this year. This was due to the purchase of the Tres Hermanos property. • There was an increase in Public Safety expenses of approximately 3.4% this year. • There was an increase in Parks & Recreation expenses of 1 1.1 %. This is due primarily to significant progress on various parks and facilities Capital Improvement projects. • The Streets and Highways category was lower this year by 6.6%. This is due to a decrease in the number of Capital Improvement projects completed during the fiscal year. • Community Development expenses remained nearly unchanged. 10 Packet Pg. 85 6.5.a Financial Analysis of the City's Funds As noted earlier the City of Diamond Bar uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance -related legal requirements. Governmental funds - The focus of the City of Diamond Bar's governmental funds is to provide information on near -term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City's financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a City's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. At June 30, 2019, the City of Diamond Bar's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $36,353,312, an increase of $6,686,181 in comparison with the prior year. Approximately 49.6% of this amount ($18,025,932) constitutes unassigned fund balance, which is available for spending at the government's discretion. The remainder of the fund balance is either non - spendable, restricted or assigned to indicate that it is 1) not in spendable form ($26,203), 2) restricted for particular purposes ($13,801,177) or 3) committed for particular purposes ($4,500,000). The general fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the current fiscal year, the unassigned fund balance of the general fund was $18,583,174, while the total fund balance was $23,109,377. As a measure of the general fund's liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unassigned fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unassigned fund balance represents 77.6% of total general fund expenditures, while total fund balance represents 96.5%% of the same amount. Since the City's incorporation in 1989, the City has been fiscally conservative contributing to healthy fund balance reserves. Several years ago, the City chose to fund major maintenance projects from General Fund reserves when other funds were not available for this purpose. This fiscal year total General Fund Reserves decreased $839,000. Factors contributing to the change in General Fund balance reserves are as follows: • General Fund revenues were up $2.4 million from FY 17/18. Factors contributing to the increase include an increase in total property tax including Property Tax In Lieu of VLF ($492,000), the proceeds from the exchange of Proposition A funds for General Fund funds ($888,500) and an increase in investment earnings ($1.2 million) which includes the adjustment to mark up all investments to their full market value. 11 Packet Pg. 86 6.5.a • Costs were higher this year in the General Fund by $761,000 (3.3%) as compared to last year. There were notable increases in the General Government. The increase in General Government category is primarily related to the purchase of the Tres Hermanos property. • There were a variety of specific projects that the City Council appropriated the use of General Fund reserves. These projects included various Capital Improvement projects, the purchase of the Tres Hermanos property and the continued investment in the new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. • Conservative expenditure budgets over the years have contributed to the City's general fund healthy fund balance reserve. This includes a contract city business model which aids the City in containing costs. General Fund Budgetary Highlights Original revenue budget projections were increased by $623,000 during the year. The actual revenue came in higher than anticipated by $937,000. This is due primarily to higher than anticipated building permit revenue and the fact that the mark to market adjustment on the City's investments this year was $680,000. General Fund appropriations were increased during the year by $2.3 million or 7.7% from the original budget to the amended budget. The final expenditures actually came in $4.6 million less than the amended budget due primarily to fewer projects being completed than anticipated therefore lower transfers out of the General Fund. These projects have been carried over to the new fiscal year. Capital Asset and Debt Administration Capital assets - The City of Diamond Bar's investment in capital assets for its governmental activities as of June 30, 2019 amounts to $358,937,801 (net of accumulated depreciation).

The projects include street rehabilitation and enhancement projects, traffic mitigation projects and various park projects. Additional information on the City's capital assets can be found in note 4. Long-term debt - At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Diamond Bar's total long-term debt totaled $8,919,971. The following table shows the breakdown of the long-term debt outstanding: Outstanding Long Term Debt at Year-end Variable Rate Lease Revenue Bonds (backed by the Public Financing Authority) $ 8,775,000 Unamortized Bond -Premium 144,971 $ 8,919,971 See footnote 5 for additional information on the City's long-term liabilities as of June 30, 2019. 13 Packet Pg. 88 6.5.a Economic Factors and Next Year's Budgets and Rates While the City maintains a diverse and upscale housing stock, the City's economy is equally dependent on commercial and retail revenues. The City's concentration on maintaining and attracting new business clientele is of utmost importance. The City's 2019/20 budget is a fiscally conservative budget. As the economy is expected to level out, anticipated revenues in the General Fund reflect moderate yet realistic growth. The ongoing operations budget has been maintained at the status quo as much as possible. This budget presents an operating plan that permits the City to live within a reasonable estimate of revenues while continuing to provide community programs and services to the residents of the City of Diamond Bar.

Description of Reporting Entity The City of Diamond Bar (the City) was incorporated April 18, 1989, as a "General Law" City governed by an elected five -member city council. As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, these financial statements present the City of Diamond Bar (the primary government) and its component units. The component units discussed below are included in the City's reporting entity because of the significance of their operational or financial relationship with the City. These entities are legally separate from each other. However, the City of Diamond Bar's elected officials have a continuing full or partial accountability for fiscal matters of the other entities. The financial reporting entity consists of: (1) the City (2) organizations for which the City is financially accountable; and, (3) organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the City are such that exclusion would cause the City's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. An organization is fiscally dependent on the primary government if it is unable to adopt its budget, levy taxes or set rates or charges, or issue bonded debt without approval by the primary government. In a blended presentation, a component unit's balances and transactions are reported in a manner similar to the balances and transactions of the City. Component units are presented on a blended basis when the component unit's governing body is substantially the same as the City's or when the component unit provides services almost entirely to the City. Blended Component Units The Diamond Bar Public Financing Authority (the Authority) was formed on November 19, 2002. The purpose of the Authority is to issue debt to finance public improvements and other capital purchases for the City and Agency. The activity of the Authority is reported in debt service and capital projects funds. Separate financial statements are not prepared for this blended component unit. b. Government -Wide and Fund Financial Statements The government -wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of changes in net position) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the City. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business -type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. The City has no business -type activities. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government -wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. 25 Packet Pg. 100 6.5.a CITY OF DIAMOND BAR NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2019 Note 1: Reporting Entity and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) c. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation The basic financial statements of the City are composed of the following: • Government -wide financial statements • Fund financial statements • Notes to basic financial statements The government -wide financial statements, proprietary fund and fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under the economic resources measurement focus, all assets and liabilities (current and long-term) are reported. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the fiscal year, which the taxes are levied. Revenue from grants, entitlements, and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all the eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City's internal service funds are charges to departments for services. Operating expenses for the proprietary funds include the cost of services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the current financial resources measurement focus, generally only current assets and liabilities are reported in the governmental funds. Governmental fund operating statements present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal year. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on long-term liabilities, claims and judgments, and compensated absences which are recognized as expenditures only when payment is due. Property taxes, taxpayer -assessed taxes, such as sales taxes, gas taxes, and transient occupancy taxes, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of special assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period to the extent normally collected within the availability period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the City. 26 Packet Pg. 101 6.5.a CITY OF DIAMOND BAR NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2019 Note 1: Reporting Entity and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) The accounts of the City are organized and operated on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity with a self -balancing set of accounts, established for the purpose of carrying on specific activities or attaining certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions or limitations. As a general rule, the effect of Interfund activity has been eliminated from the government - wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the government's proprietary funds functions and various other functions of the government. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned. Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services or privileges provided, 2) operating contributions and grants, and 3) capital contributions and grants, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are combined in a fund, expenses are considered to be paid first from restricted resources, and then from unrestricted resources. d. Fund Classifications The City reports the following major governmental funds: The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City and is used to account for all revenues and expenditures of the City not legally restricted as to use. A broad range of municipal activities are provided through this fund including City Manager, City Attorney, Finance, City Clerk, Public Works, Building and Safety, and Parks and Recreation. The Capital Improvement Fund has been classified as a major fund and is used to account for City capital improvement projects. The revenues in this fund will generally come from transfers in from other funds and have been identified for specific capital projects. The Traffic Improvement Fund is used to account for funds which have been received from development projects and designated by the City Council for traffic mitigation projects. The City's fund structure also includes the following fund types: Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally restricted or committed to expenditures for specified purposes. Capital Protects Funds are used to account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed, or assigned to expenditure for capital outlays, including the acquisition or construction of capital facilities and other capital assets. Debt Service Funds are used to account for the receipt of revenues and payments of debt service related to outstanding bonds. 27 Packet Pg. 102 6.5.a CITY OF DIAMOND BAR NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2019 Note 1: Reporting Entity and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Additionally, the City reports the following fund types: Internal Service Funds have been established to finance and account for goods and services provided by one City department to other City departments or agencies. These activities include self-insurance, equipment, building maintenance and computer maintenance. e. Investments For financial reporting purposes, investments are stated at fair value. Changes in fair value that occur during a fiscal year are recognized as investment income reported for that fiscal year. Investment income includes interest earnings, changes in fair value, and any gains or losses realized upon the liquidation or sale of investments. The City pools cash and investments of all funds, except for assets held by fiscal agents. Each fund's share in this pool is displayed in the accompanying financial statements as cash and investments. Investment income earned by the pooled investments is allocated to the various funds based on each fund's average cash and investment balances. f. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash or so near their maturity (an original maturity date of three months or less from the date of purchase) that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Cash and cash equivalents also represent the proprietary funds' share in the cash and investment pool of the City. All cash and investments of the proprietary (internal service) funds are pooled with the City's pooled cash and investments and are therefore considered cash equivalents for purposes of the statement of cash flows. g. Prepaid Costs Prepaid costs are accounted for on the consumption method. Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both government -wide and fund financial statements. h. Capital Assets Capital assets (including infrastructure) are recorded at cost where historical records are available and at an estimated original cost where no historical records exist. Contributed capital assets are valued at acquisition value at the date of contribution. Capital asset purchases (other than infrastructure) in excess of $5,000 are capitalized if they have an expected useful life of three years or more. Donated capital assets, donated works of art and similar items, and capital assets received in a service concession arrangement are recorded at acquisition value at the date of donation. Capital assets include additions to public domain (infrastructure), certain improvements including roads, streets, sidewalks, medians and storm drains within the City. 28 Packet Pg. 103 6.5.a CITY OF DIAMOND BAR NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2019 Note 1: Reporting Entity and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Capital assets used in operations are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method in the Government -wide and Proprietary Fund Financial Statements. Depreciation is charged as an expense against operations and accumulated depreciation is reported on the respective balance sheet. The lives used for depreciation purposes of each capital asset class are: Buildings and improvements 10 - 20 years Furniture and fixtures 3 - 5 years Vehicles 5 years Infrastructure 10 - 50 years Equipment 5 — 20 years Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/ expenditure) until then. The City has two items that qualify for reporting in this category. It is deferred outflows relating to the net pension obligation and net OPEB obligation reported in the government -wide statement of net position. These outflows are the results of contributions made after the measurement period, adjustments due to difference in proportions, and the difference between actual contributions made and the proportionate share of the risk pool's total contributions, differences between expected and actual experiences, net differences between projected and actual experiences on plan investments, and change in assumptions. In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and thus will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The government has one item which arises under the modified accrual basis of accounting that qualifies for reporting in this category. Accordingly, the item, unavailable revenue, is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from two sources: taxes and grant revenues. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available. In addition, the government has an item that qualifies for reporting in this category which relate to deferred inflows relating to the net pension obligation reported in the government -wide statement of net position. These inflows are the result of the net difference between projected and actual earnings on pension plan investments, changes in employer's proportion, difference between the employer's contributions and the employer's proportionate share of contributions, adjustments due to difference in proportions, differences between expected and actual experiences, and change in assumptions. j. Net Position Flow Assumption Sometimes the government will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted (e.g., restricted bond or grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted — net position and unrestricted — net position in the government -wide and proprietary fund financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the government's policy to consider restricted — net position to have been depleted before unrestricted — net position is applied. 29 Packet Pg. 104 6.5.a CITY OF DIAMOND BAR NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2019 Note 1: Reporting Entity and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) k. Fund Balance Flow Assumptions Sometimes the government will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and unrestricted resources (the total of committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance). In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance in the governmental fund financial statements a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the government's policy to consider restricted fund balance to have been depleted before using any of the components of unrestricted fund balance. Further, when the components of unrestricted fund balance can be used for the same purpose, committed fund balance is depleted first, followed by assigned fund balance. Unassigned fund balance is applied last. I. Compensated Absences Vacation and sick leave time begin to accumulate as of the first day of employment to a maximum of 360 hours and 280 hours, respectively. Employees who accumulate sick leave in excess of 200 hours are paid for the excess annually at one half the employees current wage rate. A liability is recorded for unused vacation and similar compensatory leave balances since the employees' entitlement to these balances are attributable to services already rendered and it is probable that virtually all of these balances will be liquidated by either paid time off or payments upon termination or retirement. A liability is recorded for unused sick leave balances only to the extent that it's probable that the unused balances will result in termination payments. This is estimated by including in the liability the unused balances of employees currently entitled to receive termination payments, as well as those who are expected to become eligible to receive termination benefits as a result of continuing their employment with the City. If an employee retires, resigns, or terminates in good standing with a minimum of five years of service, the employee is entitled to receive 100% of unused sick leave at one half the employees current wage rate. Compensated absences will be reported in government funds only if they have matured, such as upon retirement. m. Pension Plan For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows and inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position and additions to/deductions from the fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the CalPERS Financial Office. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. CalPERS audited financial statements are publicly available reports that can be obtained at CaIPERS' website under Forms and Publications. n. Other Post -Employment Benefits (OPEB) For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City's plan (OPEB Plan), the assets of which are held by California Employers' Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT), and additions to/deductions from the 30 Packet Pg. 105 6.5.a CITY OF DIAMOND BAR NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2019 Note 1: Reporting Entity and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) OPEB Plan's fiduciary net position have been determined by an independent actuary. For this purpose, benefit payments are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. Generally accepted accounting principles require that the reported results must pertain to liability and asset information within certain defined timeframes. For this report, the following timeframes are used: Valuation Date June 30, 2017 Measurement Date June 30, 2019 Measurement Period July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019 Recognition of Deferred Outflows and Deferred Inflows of Resources Gains and losses related to changes in total OPEB liability and fiduciary net position are recognized in OPEB expense systematically over time. Amounts are first recognized in OPEB expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB and are to be recognized in future OPEB expense. The recognition period differs depending on the source of the gain or loss: Net difference between projected and actual earnings on OPEB plan investments All other amounts o. Property Taxes 5 years Expected average remaining service lifetime (EARSL) Under California law, property taxes are assessed and collected by the counties up to 1 % of assessed value, plus other increases approved by the voters. The property taxes go into a pool, and are then allocated to the cities based on complex formulas. Accordingly, the City accrues only those taxes which are received from the County within 60 days after year end. Property taxes are assessed and collected each fiscal year according to the following property tax calendar: Lien date January 1 Levy date July 1 Due dates November 1 - 1st installment February 1 - 2nd installment Collection dates December 10 - 1st installment April 10 - 2nd installment Delinquent dates December 11 - 1st installment April 11 - 2nd installment 31 Packet Pg. 106 6.5.a CITY OF DIAMOND BAR NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2019 Note 1: Reporting Entity and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) p. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. q. Fund Equity In the fund financial statements, government funds report the following fund balance classification: • Nonspendable include amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. • Restricted include amounts that are constrained on the use of resources by either (a) external creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws of regulations of other governments or (b) by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. • Committed include amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the government's highest authority, City Council. The formal action that is required to be taken to establish, modify, or rescind a fund balance commitment is a resolution. • Assigned include amounts that are constrained by the government's intent to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. The Director of Finance is authorized to assign amounts to a specific purpose, which was established by the governing body in resolution. • Unassigned include the residual amounts that have not been restricted, committed, or assigned to specific purposes. The General Fund is the only fund that reports a positive fund unassigned fund balance amount. In other governmental funds it is not appropriate to report a positive unassigned fund balance amount. However, in governmental funds other than the general fund, if expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceed the amounts that are restricted, committed, or assigned to those purposes, it may be necessary to report a negative unassigned fund balance in that fund. An individual governmental fund could include nonspendable resources and amounts that are restricted or unrestricted (committed, assigned, or unassigned) or any combination of those classifications. Restricted amounts are to be considered spent when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available and committed, assigned, then unassigned amounts are considered to have been spent when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of those unrestricted fund balance classifications can be used. 32 Packet Pg. 107 6.5.a CITY OF DIAMOND BAR NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2019 Note 2: Cash and Investments As of June 30, 2019, cash and investments were reported in the accompanying financial statements as follows: Statement of Net Position Cash and investments $ 43,172,382 Cash and investments with fiscal agents 361 $ 43,172, 743 Cash and investments held by the City at June 30, 2019, consisted of the following: Cash and cash equivalents: Imprest cash on hand $ 2,150 Demand deposits 1,027,248 Total Cash and cash equivalents 1,029,398 Investments: United States Government Sponsored Enterprise Securities 5,978,025 Certificates of Deposit 11,094,099 Corporate Bonds 4,504,754 Municipal Bonds 4,961,138 Local Agency Investment Fund 15,604,968 Held by fiscal agents: Money Market Mutual Funds 361 Total Investments and held by fiscal agents 42,143,345 $ 43,172, 743 33 Packet Pg. 108 6.5.a CITY OF DIAMOND BAR NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2019 Note 2: Cash and Investments (Continued) Investments Authorized by the California Government Code and the City's Investment Policy The following table identifies the investment types that are authorized for the City by the California Government Code (or the City's investment policy, where more restrictive).

Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the City manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter term and longer term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations. 35 Packet Pg. 110 6.5.a CITY OF DIAMOND BAR NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2019 Note 2: Cash and Investments (Continued) Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the City's investments (including investments held by bond trustee) to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the distribution of the City's investments by maturity: Remaining Maturity (in Months) 12 Months or Investment Type Less 1 - 3 years 3 - 5 years Total US Government Sponsored Securities $ 249,159 $ 4,728,808 $ 1,000,058 $ 5,978,025 Certificate of Deposits 2,182,722 6,925,695 1,985,682 11,094,099 Corporate Bonds 499,404 1,997,852 2,007,498 4,504,754 Municipal Bonds 981,343 3,979,795 - 4,961,138 Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) 15,604,968 - 15,604,968 Held by Fiscal Agents: Money Market Mutual Funds 361 361 $ 19,517,957 $17,632,150 $ 4,993,238 $ 42,143,345 Disclosures Relatina to Credit Risk Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment.

Disclosures Relating to Custodial Credit Risk Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker -dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code and the City's investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits: The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits. The City does not accept 150% of the secured public totals. At June 30, 2019, the City deposits (bank balances) were insured by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 and the remaining balances were collateralized under California Law. The cash and investments held by Bond Trustee are uninsured and uncollateralized. 37 Packet Pg. 112 6.5.a CITY OF DIAMOND BAR NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2019 Note 2: Cash and Investments (Continued) Investment in State Investment Pool The City is a voluntary participant in the California Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. LAIF is overseen by the Local Agency Investment Advisory Board, which consists of five members, in accordance with State statute. The State Treasurer's Office audits the fund annually. The fair value of the position in the investment pool is the same as the value of the pool shares.

In conjunction with the Bonds, the Authority executed a rate cap agreement on December 2, 2002, (the Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase (Counterparty) to minimize debt service cost on the 2002 Lease Revenue Bonds (the Bonds) by setting a cap on the interest rate on the Bonds. Under the Agreement, the Counterparty will pay the Authority an amount equal to the product of: (i) the amount by which the floating rate exceeds 4.5%, (ii) the notional principal amount and (iii) the actual number of days in the calculation period divided by 365 days. The Agreement is for a notional amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Bonds and will decline as the principal amount declines. The Agreement terminated on January 1, 2013.

The Authority is composed of 116 California public entities and is organized under a joint powers agreement pursuant to California Government Code §6500 et seq. The purpose of the Authority is to arrange and administer programs for the pooling of self -insured losses, to purchase excess insurance or reinsurance, and to arrange for group purchased insurance for property and other lines of coverage. The California JPIA began covering claims of its members in 1978. Each member government has an elected official as its representative on the Board of Directors. The Board operates through a nine -member Executive Committee. a. Self -Insurance Programs of the Authority Each member pays an annual contribution at the beginning of the coverage period. A retrospective adjustment is then conducted annually thereafter, for coverage years 2012-13 and prior. Coverage years 2013-14 and forward are not subject to routine annual retrospective adjustment. The total funding requirement for primary self-insurance programs is based on an actuarial analysis. Costs are allocated to individual agencies based on payroll and claims history, relative to other members of the risk -sharing pool. 41 Packet Pg. 116 6.5.a CITY OF DIAMOND BAR NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2019 Note 6: Liability, Property and Workers' Compensation Protection (Continued) Primary Liability Program Claims are pooled separately between police and general government exposures. (1) The payroll of each member is evaluated relative to the payroll of other members. A variable credibility factor is determined for each member, which establishes the weight applied to payroll and the weight applied to losses within the formula. (2) The first layer of losses includes incurred costs up to $30,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool's total incurred costs within the first layer. (3) The second layer of losses includes incurred costs from $30,000 to $750,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool's total incurred costs within the second layer. (4) Incurred costs from $750,000 to $50 million, are distributed based on the outcome of cost allocation within the first and second loss layers. The overall coverage limit for each member, including all layers of coverage, is $50 million per occurrence. Subsidence losses have a sub -limit of $40 million per occurrence. The coverage structure includes retained risk that is pooled among members, reinsurance, and excess insurance. More detailed information about the various layers of coverage is available on the following website: https://cipia.org/protection/coverage-programs. Primary Workers' Compensation Program Claims are pooled separately between public safety (police and fire) and general government exposures. (1) The payroll of each member is evaluated relative to the payroll of other members. A variable credibility factor is determined for each member, which establishes the weight applied to payroll and the weight applied to losses within the formula. (2) The first layer of losses includes incurred costs up to $50,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool's total incurred costs within the first layer. (3) The second layer of losses includes incurred costs from $50,000 to $100,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool's total incurred costs within the second layer. (4) Incurred costs from $100,000 to statutory limits are distributed based on the outcome of cost allocation within the first and second loss layers. For 2018-19 the Authority's pooled retention is $2 million per occurrence, with reinsurance to statutory limits under California Workers' Compensation Law. Employer's Liability losses are pooled among members to $2 million. Coverage from $2 million to $5 million is purchased as part of a reinsurance policy, and Employer's Liability losses from $5 million to $10 million are pooled among members. b.

The total rate plan contributions are determined through the CalPERS' annual actuarial valuation process. The actuarially determined rate is based on the estimated amount necessary to pay the Plan's allocated share of the risk pool's costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, and any unfunded accrued liability. The employer is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. The City's contributions to the Plan for the year ended June 30, 2019, were $710,349. Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense and Deferred Outflows and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions As of June 30, 2019, the City reported a net pension liability for its proportionate share of the net pension liability of the Plan of $5,424,380. 44 Packet Pg. 119 CITY OF DIAMOND BAR 6.5.a NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2019 Note 7: Pensions (Continued) The City's net pension liability for the Plan is measured as the proportionate share of the net pension liability. The net pension liability of the Plan is measured as of June 30, 2018, and the total pension liability for the Plan used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2017, rolled forward to June 30, 2018, using standard update procedures. The City's proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of the City's long-term share of contributions to Plan relative to the projected contributions of all participating employers, actuarially determined. The City's proportionate share of the net pension liability for each Rate Plan as of June 30, 2017 and 2018, was as follows: Proportion - June 30, 2017 Proportion - June 30, 2018 Change - Increase (Decrease) Miscellaneous 0.05584% 0.05629% 0.00045% For the year ended June 30, 2019, the City recognized pension expense of $1,127,109.

The June 30, 2018 total pension liability was based on the following actuarial methods and assumptions: Actuarial Methods and Assumptions The collective total pension liability for the June 30, 2018 measurement period was determinded by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2017, with update procedures used to roll forward the total pension liability to June 30, 2018. The collective total pension liability was based on the following assumptions: Investment rate of return Inflation Salary increases Mortality rate table Post -retirement benefit increase 7.15% 2.50% Varies by Entry Age and Service Derived using CalPERS' Membership Date for all Funds Contract COLA up to 2.50% until Purchase Power Protection Allowance Floor on Purchasing Power applies. 1 The mortality table was used developed based on CalPERS-specific data. The table includes 15 years of mortality improvements using Society of Actuaries Scale 90% of scale MP 2016. For more details on this table, please refer to the December 2017 experience study report (based on CalPERS demographic date from 1997 to 2015) that can be found on the CalPERS website. All other actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2016 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period from 1997 to 2011, including updates to salary increase, mortality and retirement rates. The Experience Study report can be obtained at CaIPERS' website under Forms and Publications. Change in Assumptions In 2018, demographic assumptions and inflation rate were changed in accordance to the CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions December 2017. There were no changes in the discount rate. 46 Packet Pg. 121 6.5.a CITY OF DIAMOND BAR NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2019 Note 7: Pension (Continued) Discount Rate The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.15 percent. To determine whether the municipal bond rate should be used in the calculation of the discount rate for each plan, CaIPERS stress tested plans that would most likely result in a discount rate that would be different from the actuarially assumed discount rate. The tests revealed the assets would not run out. Therefore, the current 7.15 percent discount rate is appropriate and the use of the municipal bond rate calculation is not deemed necessary. The long-term expected discount rate of 7.15 percent is applied to all plans in the Public Employees' Retirement Fund (PERF). The cash flows used in the testing were developed assuming that both members and employers will make their required contributions on time and as scheduled in all future years. The stress test results are presented in a detailed report called "GASB Crossover Testing Report" that can be obtained at CaIPERS website under the GASB 68 section. The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. In determining the long-term expected rate of return, staff took into account both short-term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund (PERF) cash flows. Taking into account historical returns of all the Public Employees Retirement Funds' asset classes (which includes the agent plan and two cost -sharing plans or PERF A, B, and C funds), expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11-60 years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each PERF fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equal to the single equivalent rate calculated above and rounded down to the nearest one quarter of one percent. The table below reflects long-term expected real rate of return by asset class. The rate of return was calculated using the capital market assumptions applied to determine the discount rate and asset allocation.

Post -retirement mortality rates were based on the RP-2014 Health Annuitant Mortality Table for Males or Females, as appropriate, without projection. Retirement and termination assumptions used were based on a review of plan experience and the actuary's best estimate of future plan experience. Discount rate The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 6.0%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that the City contributions will be made at rates equal to the actuarially determined contribution rates. Based on those assumptions, the OPEB plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total OPEB liability. Changes in the Net OPEB Liability The changes in the net OPEB liability are as follows: Balance at June 30, 2018 (measurement date 6/30/18) Changes recognized for the measurement period: Service Cost Interest Contributions - employer Net investment income Benefit payments Administrative expense Net changes Balance at June 30, 2019 (measurement date 6/30/19) Plan Fiduciary Net OPEB Total OPEB Net Position Liability/(Assets) Liability (a) (b) (c) = (a) - (b) $ 781,925 $ 240,630 $ 541,295 57,513 - 57,513 46,352 - 46,352 - 106,186 (106,186) - 18,278 (18,278) (19,058) (19,058) - - (209) 209 84,807 105,197 (20,390) $ 866, 732 $ 345,827 $ 520,905 *Contributions -employer amount includes implicit subsidy associated with benefits paid. 50 Packet Pg. 125 CITY OF DIAMOND BAR 6.5.a NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2019 Note 8: Post -Employment Benefits Other than Pensions (Continued) Sensitivity of the Net OPEB liability to changes in the discount rate The following presents the net OPEB liability, as well as what the net OPEB liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1 percentage -point lower (5.00 percent) or 1 percentage -point higher (7.00 percent) than the current discount rate: Discount Rate - 1% Current Discount Rate Discount Rate +1% (5.00%) (6.00%) (7.00%) Net OPEB liability (asset) $ 642,045 $ 520,905 $ 421,560 Sensitivity of the Net OPEB liability to changes in the healthcare cost trend rates The following presents the net OPEB liability, as well as what the net OPEB liability would be if it were calculated using healthcare cost trend rates that are 1-percentage-point lower (5.00 percent decreasing to 4.00 percent) or 1-percentage-point higher (7.00 percent decreasing to 6.00 percent) than the current healthcare cost trend rates: Trend Rate - 1 % Trend Rate +1 % (5.00% decreasing to Trend Rate (6.00%° (7.00% decreasing to 4.00%) decreasing to 5.00 /°) 6.00%) Net OPEB liability (asset) $ 393,367 $ 520,905 $ 643,175 Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to OPEB At June 30, 2019, the City's deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources to OPEB from the following sources are: Deferred Outflows of Deferred Inflows of Resources Resources Differences between projected and actual return investments $ 1,429 $ 2,905 Amounts reported as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources will be recognized in OPEB expense as follows: Year Ended Deferred Outflows/ June 30, (Inflows) of Resources 2020 $ (250) 2021 (250) 2021 (249) 2023 (727) Total $ (1,476) 51 Packet Pg. 126 6.5.a CITY OF DIAMOND BAR NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2019 Note 8: Post -Employment Benefits Other than Pensions (Continued) Actuarially Determined Contribution The following shows the actuarial determined contribution for year ending June 30, 2019: Service Cost $ 57,513 Net OPEB Liability Amortization Payment (30-year) 29,616 Total $ 87,129 Note 9: Classification of Restricted Fund Balance Details of the restricted fund balance classifications at June 30, 2019, are as follows: Restricted for Community Development Projects Integrated Waste Management $ 1,292,829 Beverage Center Recycling 56,172 Used Oil Block Grant 22,037 Park and Facility Development 380,728 PEG Fees 371,262 CASP Fees (SB1186) 14,052 Total 2,137,080 Restricted for Public Safety: COPS 272,257 CLEEP 14,591 Total 286,848 Restricted for Highways and Streets: State Gas Tax 132,791 Proposition A Transit 467,645 Proposition C Transit 1,078,994 Transportation Grant 363 Traffic Improvement 7,034,327 Sewer Mitigation 115,418 Road Maintenance & Rehab 1,384,273 Measure R Local Return 148,436 Waste Hauler 33,152 Street Beautification 326,365 Total 10, 721, 764 Restricted for Capital Projects: Air Quality Improvement 101,857 Measure M Local Return 528,074 Landscape Maintenance 25,193 Total 655,124 Restricted for Debt Service: Debt Service 361 Total Restricted Funds $ 13,801,177 52 Packet Pg. 127 6.5.a CITY OF DIAMOND BAR NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2019 Note 10: Tres Hermanos Conservation Authority Joint Powers Authority The Tres Hermanos Conservation Authority (Authority) is a joint powers agency created by a joint powers agreement between the cities of Chino Hills and Diamond Bar, California, dated January 19, 1999. It was created pursuant to Articles 1 through 4 of Chapter 5, Division 7, Title 1 of the Government Code of the State of California, in accordance with the provisions of the Marks -Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985. The purpose of the Authority is to create a public entity to coordinate the overall development and conservation of a large undeveloped area of real property known as the Tres Hermanos Ranch, by preparing studies, plans, environmental reviews and similar information and by making recommendations to its members to take such actions including, but not limited to, acquisition and eminent domain as are necessary to implement its recommendations. On February 6, 2019, the Authority amended and restated its agreement with the City of Industry pursuant to a Settlement Agreement. The City of Industry purchased the Tres Hermanos Ranch from the Successor Agency to Industry's Urban Development Agency. The City of Chino Hills and Diamond Bar contributed 10% of the purchase of the land. With the new agreement each City will contribute approximately $70,000 each year for ranch expenses and maintenance costs. The Board shall consist of seven voting directors and one alternate from each City, actions taken require at least four approval. Three must come from the City of Industry, two from City of Chino Hills and two from City of Diamond Bar. The Authority is a public entity separate and apart from each of the Cities. The funds of the Authority have not been included within the scope of the basic financial statements of the Cities because the Authority has its own governing board that has responsibility over the operations of the Authority.

This 1.00% is shared by all taxing agencies for which the subject property resides within. In addition to the 1.00% fixed amount, property owners are charged taxes as a percentage of assessed property values for the payment of any voter approved bonds for the Pomona Unified School District or Walnut Valley Unified School Districts in Diamond Bar depending on which school district the property is located in. Overlapping rates are those of local and county governments that apply to property owners within the City. Not all overlapping rates apply to all city property owners. RDA rate is based on the largest RDA tax rate area(TRA) and includes only rate(s) from indebtedness adopted prior to 1989 per California State statute. RDA direct and overlapping rates are applied only to the incredmental property values. Total Direct Rate is the weighted average of all individual direct rates applied by the government preparing the statistical section information.

However, this provision was enacted when assessed valuation was based upon 25% of market value. Effective with the 1981-82 fiscal year, each parcel is now assessed at 100% of market value (as of the most recent change in ownership for that parcel). The computations shown above reflect a conversion of assessed valuation data for each fiscal year from the current full valuation the 25% level that was in effect at the time that the legal debt margin was enacted by the State of California for local govern- ment located within the state.

STRATEGIC GOAL: Responsible Stewardship of Public Resources RECOMMENDATION: Approve the transfer of certain surplus property to the City of Eureka and Human IT. FINANCIAL IMPACT: No financial impact. 7_[61:(e]:1911]0113 A wide range of computers, office equipment, and phones have exceeded their useful life, are no longer functional, or have no further value for parts, and have been declared as surplus. Diamond Bar Municipal Code Section 3.24.120 establishes procedures for the disposal of surplus personal property, including the transfer of such property to another public agency or non-profit organization, subject to the approval of the City Council. The City Council has utilized this process in the past, including most recently transferring several computers to the Diamond Bar/Walnut Sheriff Substation. The City of Eureka is interested in various pieces of phone equipment that was recently decommissioned. Human IT, a 501(c)3 not -for -profit organization, is interested in the remainder of the surplus items. A complete inventory of surplus property is included in Attachment 1. ANALYSIS: Transfer Surplus Phone Equipment to the City of Eureka The City of Eureka, California is currently operating a phone system that is very similar to the phone system that was recently decommissioned by the City of Diamond Bar. Packet Pg. 207 6.6 Eureka was the only one to express interest in the phone equipment through an announcement on the Municipal Information Systems Association of California (MISAC) listsery of surplus inventory available for donation. The phone equipment includes 65 Cisco 7945 phones, 26 Cisco 7965 phones, 6 Cisco 7937 Conference Phones, 1 Dual Side Car with Stand for a 7965 and 2 Single Side Cars with Stand for a 7965. It is recommended that the items highlighted in red at the bottom of Attachment 1 be transferred to the City of Eureka. Transfer of Surplus Equipment to Human IT Human IT is a 501(c)3 not for profit organization that refurbishes donated business technology and distributes to low-income families, veterans, and persons with disabilities.

STRATEGIC GOAL: Open, Engaged & Responsive Government RECOMMENDATION: A. Approve for second reading by title only, waive full reading, and adopt Ordinance No. 02(2019) amending Diamond Bar Municipal Code Sections 2.32.040(g), 2.36.040(g), and 2.40.040(g) providing for Commission meeting times to be set by Resolution of the City Council; and B. Adopt Resolution No. 2019-XX modifying the Parks and Recreation and the Traffic and Transportation Commission meetings from monthly to bi-monthly (every other month) effective January 1, 2020. FINANCIAL IMPACT: No financial impact. BACKGROUND: On November 5, 2019 the City Council unanimously introduced Ordinance No. XX(2019) that would amend Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Sections 2.32.040(g), 2.36.040(g), and 2.40.040(g) allowing the City Council to modify regularly scheduled Commission meetings by Resolution. This process would match the existing process to determine City Council meetings found in DBMC Section 2.08.010 that states, "The date and time of regular meetings shall be established by resolution of the City Council." If the Ordinance is approved, the accompanying Resolution No. 2019-XX has been included to implement a bi-monthly meeting schedule (every other month) for the Parks Packet Pg. 211 s.7 and Recreation and Traffic and Transportation Commission effective January 1, 2020. No change to the Planning Commission meeting schedule is proposed. ANALYSIS: The Parks and Recreation Commission currently hold regular meetings on the fourth Thursday of the month. The Traffic and Transportation Commission currently hold regular meetings on the second Thursday of the month. Both Commissions meet at 6:30 pm in the Windmill Community Room at City Hall. City staff recognizes the time commitment provided by each Commissioner and values their dedication to the community. As advisory boards, both Commissions provide necessary suggestions and community feedback to City staff. Each monthly agenda typically provides informational items such as the monthly reports and a brief staff presentation regarding agenda items which are routine in nature. Although Commissioners are Diamond Bar residents, many work outside of the City and even Los Angeles County which can at times pose a logistical challenge for Commissioners to attend every meeting. Based on varying work schedules, traffic conditions and schedule conflicts, Commissioner attendance has varied over the past year and at times resulted in a lack of quorum. Although the information provided by City staff each month is summarized, all programs and services offered by Parks and Recreation, along with Public Works park maintenance updates are provided to the Parks and Recreation Commission. Only on occasion will an agenda item be added that is unique and require specific Commission attention. These items could also include recognition of youth sportsmanship award winners or park design discussions and occur approximately three or four meetings per year. Similarly, as informational items, the Traffic and Transportation Commission receive monthly updates of various projects and programs along with the Sheriff's Department Traffic Statistics Report. In recent years, staff has also been scheduling/combining Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP) meetings with the residents at the commission meetings on an as -needed basis. Determined by the number of Commissioners in attendance and scheduled agenda items, the average Parks and Recreation Commission meeting lasts approximately 30 minutes and the average Traffic and Transportation Commission meeting lasts approximately 30 to 60 minutes. While these meetings are efficient and run in proper order, the time required by Commissioners and staff to prepare, commute, and implement a business meeting could be more effective if scheduled in another manner. When reviewing the past 10 to 12 months, both Commissions rarely receive public comments as most residents prefer expedited feedback by contacting City staff via the phone, email, or social media rather than delaying for a monthly meeting. Based on recommendations from both the Parks and Recreation and the Traffic and Transportation Commissions, the proposed Ordinance would allow the City Council to establish Commission meeting dates, locations and times by Resolution. This would also provide for greater flexibility to meet current and future scheduling modifications without the need to amend the Ordinance. Packet Pg. 212 s.7 Resolution No. 2019-XX has been included to establish a bi-monthly (every other month) meeting schedule beginning in January 1, 2020 for the Park and Recreation and the Traffic and Transportation Commissions. Meetings are recommended to be held in the months of January, March, May, July, September and November for both Commissions. This schedule would allow for important annual meetings, such as the Parks and Recreation Commission recognizing volunteer coaches each March and May. This meeting schedule has been successfully utilized by the Parks and Recreation Departments in San Dimas, San Marino, and Norco. No changes are proposed to the Planning Commission meeting schedule which hold regular meetings twice a month. 4 Xrl_10 a :Jvl l =1►a The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the Ordinance and Resolution as to form.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funding was included in the FY 18/19 Capital Improvement Program. The final construction cost of the Project was $457,853.49 which is $35,939.99 under the total authorization amount of $493,793.48. The City is expected to receive approximately $184,500 in Measure A Neighborhood Parks Act funds for the project.

BREA CANYON ROAD, DIAMOND BAR, CALIFORNIA (PLANNING CASE NO PL. 2017-169) STRATEGIC GOAL: Open, Engaged & Responsive Government RECOMMENDATION: A. Open the public hearing to receive public testimony; B. Close the public hearing; C. Adopt Resolution No. 2019-XX approving the Mitigated Negative Declaration and adopting the Mitigation Reporting and Monitoring Program; D. Adopt Resolution No. 2019-XX approving General Plan Amendment to change the existing land use designation from Professional Office (OP) to General Commercial (C); E. Introduce for first reading by title only, waive full reading of Ordinance No. XX (2019) approving a Zone Change to change the existing zoning from Light Industry (1) to Regional Commercial -Planned Development Overlay (C-3-PD), and schedule the second reading and adoption at the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting; and F. Adopt Resolution No. 2019-XX approving Conditional Use Permit, Tentative Parcel Map No. 82066, Development Review, Parking Permit and Comprehensive Sign Program based on the Findings of Fact, and subject to the Conditions of Approval contained therein. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Packet Pg. 223 7.1 None. All staff and consultant costs to process the application have been borne by the applicant. SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to build a new commercial development consisting of a 109- room, four-story hotel; a 47,642 square -foot, three-story office building; and an 8,900 square -foot, one-story medical office building on a 5.73-acre vacant parcel located on the east side of Brea Canyon Road between Lycoming Street and the SR-60 freeway. Prior to June 2019, the property operated as a recreational vehicle and boat storage facility. The Project requires the approval of seven discretionary entitlement applications which are described below. Three entitlements (General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, and Tentative Parcel Map) require City Council approval. The other four entitlements (Conditional Use Permit, Development Review, Parking Permit and Comprehensive Sign Program) are typically under the approval authority of the Planning Commission. However, Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Section 22.48.030 requires all applications to be processed simultaneously by the highest review authority (i.e., the City Council). Planning Commission thus recommends that the City Council approve of all seven entitlement applications for this Project. The following entitlements are being requested: General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation from Professional Office (OP) to General Commercial (C). Zone Change to change the zoning district from Light Industry (1) to Regional Commercial -Planned Development Overlay (C-3-PD). Conditional Use Permit to approve development on the site subject to a Planned Development Overlay District and allow modifications to the building height limit to allow a 64-foot high, four-story hotel and a 55-foot high, three-story office buildings (where 35 feet is the maximum allowed); reduce the parking requirement to allow 289 spaces (where 299 spaces are required); and deviate from the parking design standard by reducing the dimensions of 53 parking spaces to 8'X16' (where 9'X19' is required) to accommodate compact cars. Tentative Parcel Map to subdivide the subject property into four lots, and create air space condominium subdivisions for the two office buildings. The three-story office building will subdivide air space for 34 medical and general office units, and the one- story medical office building will subdivide air space for 2 medical office units. Development Review to approve the site and architectural design of a new commercial development to ensure consistency with the General Plan, Development Code, and compliance with all applicable design guidelines and standards. Packet Pg. 224 7.1 Parking Permit to share access and parking between the proposed parcels. Comprehensive Sign Program to establish design criteria for all signage associated with the proposed buildings. Planning Commission Recommendation On October 30, 2019, the Planning Commission conducted a noticed public hearing to consider the Project. By a 4-1 vote, the Commission recommended that the City Council adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Reporting and Monitoring Program pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and approve the Project. The Planning Commission staff report (Attachment 5) provides a detailed analysis of the proposed Project. Ten members of the public spoke during public hearing. Eight residents spoke in opposition to the Project stating concerns over worsening traffic in the area, need for more public outreach, and the potential lowering of property values. The other two residents voiced support for the project, citing the economic benefit to the City through tax revenue, additional lodging opportunities for business travelers, increases in property values, and the need for a Hilton branded hotel in the area. The draft minutes for this hearing are included as Attachment 6. Traffic Improvements Access to the Project site will be provided via one right -turn in/right-turn out unsignalized driveway on Brea Canyon Road. A raised landscaped central median will be constructed along Brea Canyon Road to prevent vehicles from turning left to enter or exit the Project site. Other traffic improvements include the following: • Restriping of the northbound approach to westbound Lycoming Street along Brea Canyon Road to the north of the Project's driveway to provide a second exclusive westbound left -turn lane. • Restriping of the existing eastbound Lycoming Street shared left/through/right turn lane to provide an exclusive left -turn lane and shared through/right-turn lane. • Restriping of the Lycoming Street west of the intersection to accommodate two receiving lanes due to the addition of a second exclusive westbound left -turn lane. The implementation of these improvements may require some modification to existing traffic signal equipment at the applicant's expense. The aerial exhibit that follows shows where project -specific traffic improvements will be constructed. Packet Pg. 225 The applicant will also be required to pay fair -share traffic mitigation fees in the amount of $846,910. The applicant's fair share fees will contribute toward future capital improvements needed at eight intersections in the vicinity of the subject property to mitigate cumulative traffic impacts. The existing roadway condition at the intersection of Brea Canyon Road at Lycoming Packet Pg. 226 7.1 Street is currently operating at an acceptable level of service in the AM peak hours (LOS D) and an unacceptable level of service in the PM peak hours (LOS E). Without mitigation, the proposed Project would significantly impact this intersection, potentially resulting in an unacceptable level of service (LOS E in the AM peak hours and LOS F in the PM peak hours). The proposed Project is forecast to generate 2,077 daily trips (one half arriving and the other half departing), with 156 trips produced in the AM peak hour and 187 trips produced in the PM peak hour on a typical weekday. Although the proposed Project will be generating additional daily trips, the implementation of traffic mitigation at the intersection such as the additional exclusive westbound left -turn lane on Lycoming Street and Brea Canyon Road, will offset the Project increment and result in an acceptable level of service in the AM and PM peak hours (LOS D). An example of where similar project mitigation improved existing traffic conditions is the Willow Heights development near the corner of Brea Canyon Road and South Diamond Bar Boulevard. The traffic flow on Brea Canyon Road at South Diamond Bar Boulevard was congested prior to the development of the Willow Heights project. Lennar Homes, the developer of the Willow Heights project was required to restripe northbound Brea Canyon Road at Diamond Bar Boulevard to provide a second dedicated right -turn lane. The development of 182 homes generated additional daily trips in the area, but the constructed traffic mitigations noticeably improved the traffic flow at the intersection. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: This Project has been reviewed for compliance with the CEQA. Based on that assessment, the City prepared an Initial Study and filed a Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the Project with the Office of Planning and Research and the Los Angeles County Clerk on September 19, 2019. The notice was published in the Inland Valley Daily Tribune and San Gabriel Valley Tribune newspapers (see Exhibit A of Attachment 1). The notice was also mailed to public agencies and residents who attended the community meeting. Pursuant to CEQA Section 15105, a 30-day public review period for the MND began on September 20, 2019, and ended October 19, 2019. The Initial Study concluded that the Project will not significantly affect the environment through the incorporation of 22 mitigation measures, and as the result of previous revisions to the proposed Project which were agreed to by the applicant to mitigate other potential impacts. The MND for the Project, documents reasons to support the findings that the Project would not have any potentially significant impacts on the environment with the proposed mitigation measures which are contained with the Mitigation Reporting and Monitoring Program (MRMP) prepared as part of the MND. The purpose of the MRMP is to ensure compliance with the mitigation measures, address site -specific conditions for the Project, and also identifies timing and responsibility for monitoring each measure and is attached to the Resolution recommending adoption of the MND (Exhibit B of Attachment 1). The Project is conditioned to include these mitigation Packet Pg. 227 7.1 measures as part of Project approval. NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING: Public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within a 700-foot radius of the Project site on November 4, 2019, and to the residents who attended the community meeting hosted by the applicant in February 2018. The notice was also published in the Inland Valley Daily Tribune and San Gabriel Valley Tribune newspapers on November 8, 2019. The Project Site was posted with a notice display board, and a copy of the public notice was posted at the City's four designated community posting sites. LEGAL REVIEW: The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the draft resolutions and ordinance as to form.

B. RESOLUTION NOW, THEREFORE, it is found, determined and resolved by the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar as follows: That all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. The City Council has determined that the proposed General Plan Amendment represents a consistent, logical, appropriate and rational land use designation and implementing tool that furthers the goals and objectives of the City's General Plan. 3. The City Council hereby approved General Plan Amendment for the Brea Canyon Business Park Project (Planning Case No. PL2017-169) based on the following findings, as required by Section 22.70.050 of the Municipal Code and in conformance with California Government Code Section 65358: Finding- The Approvals are internally consistent with the General Plan and other adopted goals and policies of the City and is in the public interest. Facts in Suaaort of Findina: a. The Approvals will establish a General Commercial (C) designation in the General Plan Land Use Element to allow for a new commercial development consisting of a 109-room, four-story hotel; a 47,642 square -foot, three-story office building; and an 8,900 square - foot, one level medical office building. The Land Use Map will be amended to change the land use designation from Professional Office (OP) to General Commercial (C) as shown in Exhibit A, attached hereto; and will amend the Zoning Map to change the zoning district from Light Industry (1) to Regional Commercial- 3 GPA PL No. 2019-XX — CC Resolution No. 2019-XX Packet Pg. 244 7.1.b Planned Development Overlay (C-3-PD) as shown in Exhibit B, attached hereto, in order to bring the existing General Plan Land Use and Zoning info conformance with each other and to accommodate the Project. b. For the reasons set forth below, the Approvals are consistent with the following goals, objectives, and related strategies of the Land Use Element: • Land Use Element Vision Statement states: It is the overall goal of the land use element to ensure that the land uses and development decisions of Diamond Bar maintain and enhance the quality of life for its residents. Strategy 1.1.3: Identify commercial land use categories to provide for a range of retail and service use to serve City needs and to guide development within the City and its Sphere of Influence. (b) Establish General Commercial (C) areas to provide for regional, freeway -oriented, and/or community retail and service commercial uses. Development of General Commercial areas will maintain a floor area ratio (FAR) between 0.25 and 1.00. The project site is a highly visible site adjacent to the SR60 freeway. Its proximity to the freeway offramp provides additional exposure and convenient access to the traveling public. Adjacent land use designations to the northwest are General Commercial. Staff believes the proposed General Plan Amendment to General Commercial represents a logical, appropriate and rational land use designation, which is consistent with the properties to the northwest. The Project will maintain a floor area ratio of 0.48. Land Use Element — Objective 1.3: Designate adequate land for retail and service commercial, professional services, and other revenue generating uses in sufficient quantity to meet the City's needs. Strategy 1.3.1: Designate such lands for commercial use as are necessary to minimize sales tax leakage out of Diamond Bar and to capture the City's fair share of sales tax revenue. The Project will allow for the productive use of an underutilized property, introduces a land use that will capture use tax revenue (specifically hotel transient occupancy tax) and increase property tax for the benefit of the City and its constituents, and provide additional employment opportunities to the area's existing labor force. • Land Use Element — Strategy 1.3.2: Encourage the development of businesses that take advantage of locations visible from the freeway, where appropriate. 4 GPA PL No. 2019-XX — CC Resolution No. 2019-XX Packet Pg. 245 7.1.b As described above, the project site is a highly visible site adjacent to the SR60 freeway. The Project site provides freeway visibility and easy accessibility for a hotel and office development. • Land Use Element — Strategy 1.3.3: Encourage neighborhood serving retail and service commercial uses. (a) Typical uses in the Commercial Office category include uses such as general retail, specialty retail, markets, food and drug stores, commercial services, restaurants, automotive repair and service, hardware and home improvement centers, recreation, professional and business offices, financial institutions, medical offices, and real estate offices. The Project consists of a 47,642 square -foot, three-story professional office building and an 8,900 square -foot, one level medical office building. These commercial offices provide additional services to Diamond Bar residents. • Land Use Element — Strategy 1.6.5: Where feasible within new developments, encourage a mixture of complementary development types (e.g. commercial, residential, recreational, sales tax and employment -generating uses) which can be provided in an integrated manner. The Project provides a mix of uses consisting of a hotel, professional office and medical office uses integrated into one business center. There are three separate parcels with each use, and a common lot including the driveway access, internal circulation system, parking, open spaces, easements and utilities. These properties will be governed by a property owners association and a property maintenance agreement to share the common areas. • Land Use Element — Objective 2.3: Ensure that future development occurs only when consistent with the availability and adequacy of public services and facilities. Strategy 2.3.1: Through the environmental and development review processes, ensure that adequate services, facilities, and infrastructure are available to support each development. Strategy 2.3.2: Require new development to pay its fair share of the public facilities and off -site improvements needed to serve the purpose. As part of the environmental review, staff sent notices to all public utility companies and service agencies regarding the Project. All agencies are expected to provide service to the property, including providers of gas, electrical, water, sewer, and cable television services. The Project is conditioned to install off -site 5 GPA PL No. 2019-XX — CC Resolution No. 2019-XX Packet Pg. 246 traffic improvements to improve traffic flow in the area as follows: a) Construct a raised landscaped central median along Brea Canyon Road to prevent vehicles from turning left exiting the Project site as well as those traveling southbound along Brea Canyon Road from turning left into the Project site; b) Restriping of the northbound approach to westbound Lycoming Street along Brea Canyon Road to the north of the Project's driveway to provide an additional exclusive westbound left -turn lane; c) In response to the addition of a second exclusive left -turn lane to the west of Brea Canyon Road, along Lycoming Street the restriping of the existing westbound lane to accommodate the two receiving lanes; and d) Relative to eastbound Lycoming Street, west of Brea Canyon Road, restriping of the existing eastbound shared left/through/right-turn lane to provide an exclusive left -turn lane and a separate shared through/right-turn lane. Additionally, the Project will be constructing attractive off -site streetscape improvements along the Project frontage such as the sidewalks, street trees, decorative interlocking pavers and theme rails. • Land Use Element — Strategy 3.1.2: Where feasible and appropriate, add areas for landscaping, such as in medians or by widening parkways within the primary arterial roadway system, as a means of traffic control, providing pedestrian amenities, and as an aesthetic feature for the community. A raised landscaped central median will be constructed along Brea Canyon Road to prevent vehicles from turning left existing the Project site as well as those traveling southbound along Brea Canyon Road from turning left into the Project site. The Project's frontage will also incorporate street trees and an eight -foot wide sidewalk with decorative interlocking pavers and theme rails to provide attractive streetscape elements. • Land Use Element — Objective 3.2: Ensure that new development and intensification of existing development, yields a pleasant living, working, or shopping environment, and attracts interest of residents, workers, shoppers, and visitors as the result of consistent exemplary design. Strategy 3.2.3: Minimize the use of block walls unless they are needed for a specific screening, safety, or sound attenuation purposes. Where feasible, provide instead a wide open area with informal clusters of trees, defined by spilt rail, wrought iron, or similar open fencing. Where construction of a solid wall which will be visible along a public street is necessary, provide landscaping such as trees, shrubs, or vines to break the visual monotony, and soften the appearance of the wall, and to reduce glare, heat, or reflection. Strategy 3.2.6: 6 GPA PL No. 2019-XX — CC Resolution No. 2019-XX Packet Pg. 247 Where the rear or sides of commercial, office, or other non- residential buildings will be visible within a residential neighborhood, ensure that the visible elevations will be treated in such a manner as to provide a pleasing appearance. Strategy 3.2.7: Ensure that commercial developments are designed with a precise concept for adequate signage, including provisions for sign placement and number, as well as sign scale in relationship to the building. Ensure that signs are integrated into the overall site and architectural design theme of commercial developments. The architectural style is a contemporary modern style. The buildings are designed to incorporate principles of the modern architecture by its simplicity of building form and windows with nonsuperfluous details. Facades are articulated, with changes in roof height, wall planes, window composition, wall materials and colors. The architectural articulation and visual quality of the street facades are continued on all sides of all buildings. Metal accent and wood paneling, stone veneer, glass and building colors will be consistent for all three buildings to provide a cohesive, unified design. A six-foot high block wall is proposed along the south property line and will be smooth stuccoed and articulated with landscaped pockets with flowering vines planted every 50 feet to soften the hard wall surfaces when viewed from the public right-of-way. Additionally, the Caltrans owned and maintained slope directly adjacent to the southern boundary that runs parallel to the existing SR60 westbound offramp will be landscaped with a variety of shrubs and irrigated to provide an attractive visual statement from Brea Canyon Road. The applicant submitted a Comprehensive Sign Program, which provide size criteria for wall and monument signs that are appropriate to the scale and setbacks of the buildings, and are placed so that they respect and harmonize with the architectural elements onto which they will be mounted or constructed. • Land Use Element — Strategy 4.1.2: Consider potential impacts of proposed Diamond Bar developments on neighboring jurisdictions as part of the development review process. Notify neighboring jurisdictions when considering changes to the City's existing land use pattern. As part of the environmental review, staff sent notices to all neighboring cities regarding the Project. Staff has not received any comments from any of the cities. 7 GPA PL No. 2019-XX — CC Resolution No. 2019-XX Packet Pg. 248 Resource Management Element — Strategy 2.1.3: Consistent with State law, encourage the use of primarily drought -tolerant plants, efficient design in landscape application, and the use of reclaimed water systems. (a) As part of the City development review of landscaping plans, discourage installation of large areas of lawn or turf, or limit installations to areas that require the use of grass, where feasible. The Project does not have large areas of lawn or turf. The majority of the plant palette consists of low water use plants, and is required to comply with the water -efficient landscaping requirements during building plan check. Public Health and Safety Element — Strategy 1.1.1: As required by the Uniform Building Code, require site -specific geotechnical investigation be performed to determine appropriate design parameters for construction of public and private facilities in order to minimize the effects of any geologic and seismic hazard on such development. The Project is not located within any known landslide hazard area, and all buildings will conform to applicable earthquake design regulations in the 2016 California Building Code as well as conform to and be consistent with the recommended seismic parameters and recommended design and development standards identified in the preliminary geotechnical report. A preliminary geotechnical report was submitted and indicated a potential for liquefaction of layers of sandy soils at the northwest corner of the project site. A mitigation measure is included in the Mitigation Reporting and Monitoring Program to reduce any potential hazards and liquefaction settlements. Public Health and Safety Element — Strategy 1.2.1: Where applicable, as a prerequisite to new development or the intensification of existing development, ensure that drainage study has been completed by a qualified engineer, certifying that the proposed development will be adequately protected, and that implementation of the development proposal will not create new downstream flood hazards. A Hydrology and Low Impact Development Calculations study was submitted, reviewed and approved by the City Engineer. The Project will comply with the applicable provisions of the Amended 2012 MS4 permit, and the City's LID Ordinance. Through compliance with these permits, the Project would not violate any 8 GPA PL No. 2019-XX — CC Resolution No. 2019-XX Packet Pg. 249 7.1.b water quality standards or waste discharge requirements. Public Health and Safety Element — Objective 1.5: Minimize the risk and fear of crime through physical planning strategies. Create a high level of public awareness and support for crime prevention. Strategy 1.5.1: Refer proposals for new development, where appropriate, and for the intensification of existing development to the Sheriff's Department for review. As part of the development review, staff forwarded the Project plans to the LA County Sheriff's Department, and did not receive comments. Public Health and Safety Element — Objective 1.9: The City should seek to improve local and regional air quality by encouraging ride -sharing, use of public transit, and other transportation demand management techniques. Strategy 1.9.1: Promote the provision of non-polluting transportation alternatives such as a Citywide system of bikeways and pedestrian sidewalks. The Project is conditioned to submit a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program to encourage increased ridesharing and the use of alternative transportation methods, prior to the issuance of building permits. The Project is also required to install bike lanes in both directions along Brea Canyon Road between Golden Springs Drive and Lycoming Street, and construct an eight -foot wide sidewalk. Public Health and Safety Element — Strategy 1.10.10: Locate land uses to buffer residential uses from noise and activity caused by non-residential uses or streets or highways and site buildings to serve as a noise buffer. Refer to the Land Use section to insure a smooth transition between residential and non-residential uses. The SR60 freeway mainline is located approximately 30 feet higher than the Project site. With the heights of the hotel and three-story office buildings and the placement of these buildings along the southern boundary, a portion of the freeway will be screened from a number of existing homes along the westerly segments of Dryander Drive and portions of Lycoming Street west of Dryander Drive. Although the freeway noise will continue to radiate over and around the hotel and the three-story office buildings, the proposed buildings will attenuate some of the existing ambient noise. • Circulation Element — Strategy 4.1.2: Consider reductions in parking in exchange for transportation demand management 9 GPA PL No. 2019-XX — CC Resolution No. 2019-XX Packet Pg. 250 7.1.b programs. The Project is required to provide 299 parking spaces. There are 289 spaces proposed to be provided on -site. A Transportation Demand Management program is required. However, based on the parking studies assessing the projected peak parking demands, and parking utilization data/surveys for the hotel component with the office uses, the Project will support the overall parking demand, with surplus parking available during most times. To ensure that adequate parking is available for customers and employees of the Project, a Parking Management Plan is also required to identify the proposed employee parking spaces and key management strategies such as short term/time restricted spaces to maximize the availability of parking for customers and employees of the center. • Public Services and Facilities Element — Strategy 1.1.3: Require the construction of water, sewer, drainage and other necessary public facilities prior to or concurrent with each new development. As part of the environmental review, staff sent notices to all public utility companies and service agencies regarding the Project. All water, sewer, drainage and other necessary public facilities will be constructed as part of the development. • Public Services and Facilities Element — Strategy 1.5.1: Retain and provide community social gathering places, including active and natural park lands and one or more community centers. In private and commercial office complexes, encourage the development of plaza areas. The Project incorporates outdoor common open spaces areas for each building. The office buildings have outdoor patio areas with seating, tables and benches; and the hotel has an outdoor pool area. • Public Services and Facilities Element — Objective 2.1: Provide sufficient opportunities for retail and other non-residential commercial and office uses as necessary to maximize municipal income to finance desired community amenities. The City Council shall: The Project will allow for the productive use of an underutilized property and introduces a hotel use that will capture use tax revenue (specifically hotel transient occupancy tax) and increase property tax for the benefit of the City and its constituents. 10 GPA PL No. 2019-XX — CC Resolution No. 2019-XX Packet Pg. 251 7.1.b (a) Certify to the adoption of this Resolution; and (b) Forthwith transmit a certified copy of this Resolution to Philip Lee of Lycoming, LLC, 17777 Center Court Drive, Suite 725, Cerritos, CA 90703.

B. RESOLUTION NOW, THEREFORE, it is found, determined and resolved by the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar as follows: 1. That all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct; 2. The City Council hereby specifically finds and determines that, having considered the record as a whole including the findings set forth below, and changes and alterations which have been incorporated into and conditioned upon the Project set forth in the application, there is no evidence before this City Council that the project proposed herein will have the potential of an adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. Based upon substantial evidence, this City Council hereby rebuts the presumption of adverse effects contained in Section 753.5(d) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. C. FINDINGS OF FACT Based on the findings and conclusions set forth herein and as prescribed under Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Sections 22.58.040, 21.20.080, 22.48, 22.30.050, and 22.36.060 this City Council hereby finds and recommends as follows: Conditional Use Permit Findings (DBMC Section 22.58.040) 1. The proposed use is allowed within the subject zoning district with the approval of a conditional use permit and complies with all other applicable provisions of this Development Code and the Municipal Code. The proposed development is subject to a Planned Development Overlay district to allow for modifications to the City's development standards. The Project complies with the development standards in the C-3 zone with the exception of the modifications requested as follows: • Exceed building height limit to allow a 64' high, four-story hotel and 55'-2" high, three-story office buildings (where 35 feet is the maximum allowed). • Reduce the parking requirement to allow 289 spaces (where 299 spaces are required). • Deviate from the parking design standard by reducing the size of 53 parking spaces to 8'X16' to allow for compact spaces (where 9'X19' is required). The Planned Overlay District allows for the modifications based on the site design and is deemed to be the best layout due to the size and configuration of the lot. 3 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2019-XX Packet Pg. 261 7.1.d 2. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan. The proposed C-3-PD zoning district allows for large-scale commercial uses serving residents and businesses within the region including a broad spectrum of land uses including hotels and offices, and will be consistent with the proposed General Plan land use designation of General Commercial (C). There is no specific plan proposed as part of this development. 3. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed use are compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity. Staff strongly recommended relocating the hotel and three-story office buildings to the southern boundary in order to push the buildings as far away from the existing residential properties across the flood control channel and alleviate any potential privacy and shade and shadow concerns from the height of the buildings. The modifications to the Project allow the buildings to be located closest to the south property line by allocating the floor areas vertically, share parking between the parcels, and comprise the rear portion of the parking lot with compact stalls. The Planned Development Overlay District allows for the modifications based on the site design and is deemed to be the best layout due to the size and configuration of the lot. 4. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and density/intensity of use being proposed including access, provision of utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and the absence of physical constraints. The Project will be consistent with the proposed General Plan land use designation of General Commercial and the zoning designation of Regional Commercial -Planned Development Overlay, which allows for the development of hotel and office uses. The Project Site is located within an urbanized area adequately served by existing roadways and infrastructure. The Project will not cause any intersections or street segments in the vicinity to operate at unacceptable level of service with the mitigation measures and improvements required as part of the Project approval. All utility services will be provided to the property. The site is primarily surrounded by existing single-family residential development to the north, east, and west, the 60 freeway to the south, and existing commercial development to the northwest. The northerly and easterly residential properties are separated by a 50-foot wide Los Angeles County flood control easement and the westerly residential properties are separated by Brea Canyon Road. The Project is designed to minimize the negative impacts on the surrounding homes to the north. The perimeter of the site is appropriately screened with landscaped buffering on all sides. Although the existing trees located along the north property line, adjacent to the County flood control channel will be removed, the applicant will be installing a landscaped buffer area with large 36-inch box, double row of canopy trees to provide screening for the residential homes on Lycoming Street and Dryander Drive, located directly across the flood control channel. At its nearest location, the hotel building will be located approximately 246 feet away 4 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2019-XX Packet Pg. 262 7.1.d from the nearest single-family home, and the three-story office building will be located approximately 132 feet away. The windows are inoperable and no exterior walkways or balconies are provided on either building. In order to avoid or minimize potential visual intrusion and the proposed buildings casting shadows on the nearby residential properties, the placement of the hotel and three-story office buildings were relocated to the southern boundary of the lot, away from the residential homes to the north. Therefore, the property is physically able to accommodate the Project. 5. Granting the conditional use permit will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity and zoning district in which the property is located. Prior to the issuance of any City permits, the Project is required to comply with all conditions within the approval resolutions, and the Building and Safety Division and Public Works Departments, and L.A. County Fire Department requirements. The referenced agencies through the permit and inspection process will ensure that the Project is not detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity. 6. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In accordance to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 15070, the City prepared and filed an Initial Study/Environmental Checklist and Notice of Intent to Adopt Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Project on September 19, 2019, with the State Clearinghouse and the Los Angeles County Clerk. The notice was published in the Inland Valley Daily Tribune and San Gabriel Valley Tribune newspapers. The notice was also mailed to adjacent public agencies and residents who attended the community meeting. Pursuant to CEQA Section 15105, the public review period for the MND began on September 20, 2019, and ended October 19, 2019. Tentative Map Findings: Pursuant to Subdivision Code Section 21.20.080 of the City's Subdivision Ordinance, the City Council makes the following findings: The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the general plan and any applicable specific plan. The Project involves the subdivision of the lot into four separate parcels and the condominium subdivision of air space for two office buildings. The three-story office building will subdivide air space for 34 medical and general office units, and the one level medical office building will subdivide air space for two medical office units. The current General Plan land use designation for the Project site is Professional Office (OP) and will change to General Commercial (C) to allow for a new commercial development consisting of a 109-room, four-story hotel, a 47,642 square -foot, three-story office building, and an 8,900 square -foot one level medical office building. A zone change is also being requested to change the zoning district from Light Industry (I) to Regional Commercial -Planned Development Overlay District (C-3-PD) in order to bring the existing General Plan 5 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2019-XX Packet Pg. 263 7.1.d land use designation and Zoning into conformance with each other. The Project site is not a part of any specific plan. 2. The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of development. The Project will be consistent with the proposed General Plan land use designation of General Commercial (C), which allows for regional, freeway - oriented, and/or community retail and service commercial uses. The Project is located within an urbanized area adequately served by existing roadways and infrastructure. Therefore, the property is physically able to accommodate the proposed development. 3. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements will not cause substantial environmental damage or injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements will not cause substantial environmental damage orinjure fish or wildlife or their habitat because the existing site is located in an urbanized area that does not contain habitats or would otherwise injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. 4. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not cause serious public health or safety problems. The proposed subdivision or type of improvements are not likely to cause serious public health or safety problems because the existing site is located in an urbanized area and is consistent with other similar improvements in the area. 5. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. The Project site has a Caltrans storm drain easement that runs diagonally through the site from the south to the existing northern Los Angeles County flood control channel that will be relocated. Storm drain connections to and/or construction activities encroaching into a LACFCD easement require a County permit. 6. The discharge of sewage from the proposed subdivision into the community sewer system would not result in violation of existing requirements prescribed by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board. As part of the environmental review process, the City received will -serve letters from the Walnut Valley Water District and the County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County. The Project is conditioned to obtain connection permit(s) from the City and County Sanitation District prior to issuance of building permits. 7. A preliminary soils report or geologic hazard report does not indicate adverse soil or geologic conditions. The Project is not located within any known landslide hazard area, and all buildings will conform to applicable earthquake design regulations in the 2016 6 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2019-XX Packet Pg. 264 7.1.d California Building Code as well as conform to and be consistent with the recommended seismic parameters and recommended design and development standards identified in the preliminary geotechnical report. A preliminary geotechnical report was submitted and indicated a potential for liquefaction of layers of sandy soils at the northwest corner of the project site. A mitigation measure is included in the Mitigation Reporting and Monitoring Program to reduce any potential hazards and liquefaction settlements. 8. The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable provisions of the City's subdivision ordinance, the development code, and the subdivision map act. The Project is consistent with the City's subdivision ordinance, subdivision map act, and applicable development code. Development Review Findings (DBMC Section 22.48) 7. The design and layout of the proposed development are consistent with the General Plan, development standards of the applicable district, design guidelines, and architectural criteria for special areas (e.g., theme areas, specific plans, community plans, boulevards or planned developments). The Project is consistent with the applicable elements of the City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines and development standards by meeting all of the required setbacks, except for the Development Code's building height, parking requirement, and parking design standard. The modifications to the Project allow the buildings to be located closest to the south property line by allocating the floor areas vertically, share parking between the parcels, and comprise the rear portion of the parking lot with compact stalls. The Project, as designed, is deemed to be the best layout due to the size and configuration of the lot. The Project is designed in a contemporary modern style of architecture and incorporates principles of the modern architecture by its simplicity of building form and windows with nonsuperfluous details. The Project provides 360-degree architectural articulation with a high level of attention to building details and finishes as well as incorporate signage to be compatible with the design motif of the buildings. The project site is not a part of any theme areas, specific plans, community plans, boulevards or planned developments. 8. The design and layout of the proposed development will not interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future developments, and will not create traffic or pedestrian hazards. The Project will not interfere with the use or enjoyment of neighboring existing or future developments because the Project has been designed to minimize the negative impacts on the surrounding homes to the north. The tallest buildings are located at the southern boundary of the lot, farthest away from the residential properties to the north. The perimeter of the site is also appropriately screened with landscaped buffering on all sides. The Project will not cause any intersections or street segments in the vicinity to operate at an unacceptable level of service with the following traffic 7 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2019-XX Packet Pg. 265 7.1.d improvements required to be constructed: • Raised landscaped central median along Brea Canyon Road in order to prevent vehicles from turning left exiting the Project site as well as those traveling southbound along Brea Canyon Road from turning left into the Project site. • Restriping of the northbound approach to westbound Lycoming Street along Brea Canyon Road to the north of the Project's driveway to provide an additional exclusive westbound left -turn lane. • In response to the addition of a second exclusive left -turn lane to the west of Brea Canyon Road, along Lycoming Street, the restriping of the westbound lane to accommodate two receiving lanes. • Relative to eastbound Lycoming Street, west of Brea Canyon Road, restriping of the existing eastbound shared left/through/right-turn lane to provide an exclusive left -turn lane and a separate shared through/right-turn lane. 9. The architectural design of the proposed development is compatible with the character of the surrounding neighborhood and will maintain and enhance the harmonious, orderly and attractive development contemplated by this chapter, the general plan, or any applicable specific plan. The Project is designed to be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and minimize any potential negative impacts but also elevates the architectural character of the area. The architectural style is a contemporary modern style and designed to incorporate principles of the modern architecture by its simplicity of building form and windows with nonsuperfluous details. The Project provides 360-degree architectural articulation with a high level of attention to building details and finishes as well as incorporate signage to be compatible with the design motif of the buildings. The Project will also construct attractive streetscape improvements along the Project frontage such as street trees, decorative interlocking pavers and theme rails. The design and appearance of the Project is compatible and will enhance the surrounding community. 10. The design of the proposed development will provide a desirable environment for its occupants and visiting public as well as its neighbors through good aesthetic use of materials, texture and color, and will remain aesthetically appealing. See Response 9 above. 11. The proposed development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare or materially injurious (e.g., negative effect on property values or resale(s) of property) to the properties or improvements in the vicinity. Before the issuance of any City permits, the Project is required to comply with all conditions within the approval resolutions, and the Building and Safety Division and Public Works Departments, and L.A. County Fire Department requirements. The referenced agencies through the permit and inspection process will ensure that the Project is not detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare or 8 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2019-XX Packet Pg. 266 7.1.d materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity. 12. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In accordance to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 15070, the City prepared and filed an Initial Study/Environmental Checklist and Notice of Intent to Adopt Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Project on September 19, 2019, with the State Clearinghouse and the Los Angeles County Clerk. The notice was published in the Inland Valley Daily Tribune and San Gabriel Valley Tribune newspapers. The notice was also mailed to adjacent public agencies and residents who attended the community meeting. Pursuant to CEQA Section 15105, the public review period for the MND began on September 20, 2019, and ended October 19, 2019. Parking Permit Findings (DBMC Section 22.36.060) 1. The intent of the parking regulations, which is to ensure that sufficient parking will be provided to serve the use intended and potential future uses of the subject site, is preserved. Based on parking studies assessing the projected peak parking demands, and parking utilization data/surveys for the hotel component with the office uses, the Project will adequately meet the overall parking demand by providing 289 spaces for all uses. To ensure that adequate parking is available for customers and employees of the Brea Canyon Business Center, a Parking Management Plan will be developed that identifies the proposed employee parking spaces and key management strategies such as short term/time restricted spaces to maximize the availability of parking for customers and employees of the center. The applicant is required to submit a reciprocal parking and access agreement governing the use and access of all common driveways, parking, and easement areas prior to the issuance of building permits. 2. A parking permit is approved in compliance with Section 22.30.050 (Reduction of off-street parking requirements for shared uses). See Response 1 above. Since there is a deficit number of parking spaces when shared parking dynamics are not factored in, staff required a parking study to analyze the parking demand through the application of a shared parking concept. The applicant submitted a parking study that provides parking demand calculations based on survey data collected at a similar hotel site and the Urban Land Institute's Shared Parking (2" d Edition) methodology signed by a licensed traffic engineer. Comprehensive Sian Proaram Findinas (DBMC Section 22.36.060 1. The comprehensive sign program satisfies the purpose of this chapter and the intent of this section. The comprehensive sign program satisfies the purpose and intent of the Development Code by integrating the signage with the design of the building and 9 Planning Commission Resolution No. 2019-XX Packet Pg. 267 7.1.d having specific requirements such as size, location, and design requirement for freestanding and building -mounted signs. The comprehensive sign program enhances the overall development by providing size criteria for wall and monument signs that are appropriate to the scale and setbacks of the buildings, and are placed so that they respect and harmonize the architectural elements onto which they will be mounted or constructed. 2. The signs enhance the overall development, are in harmony with, and are visually related to other signs included in the comprehensive sign program and to the structure and/or uses they identify, and to surrounding development. See Response 1 above. 3. The comprehensive sign program accommodates future revisions which may be required due to changes in uses or tenants. The comprehensive sign program accommodates future revisions by having minor changes reviewed by staff and the Community Development Director, and any major changes to be reviewed by the Planning Commission. 4. The comprehensive sign program complies with the standards of this chapter, except that flexibility is allowed with regard to sign area, number, location, and/or height to the extent that the comprehensive sign program will enhance the overall development and will more fully accomplish the purposes of this chapter. The comprehensive sign program complies with the standards of DBMC Chapter 22.36 and will enhance the overall development through consistency with the City's Design Guidelines for commercial signage, uniformity and easy identification of the signs, and neighborhood compatibility.

RECOMMENDATION: Forward a recommendation to the City Council to approve the proposed Project No. PL2017-169, based on the findings of fact, and subject to the conditions of approval contained in the attached Resolutions. Background Site Characteristics The Project site is on a 5.73 gross acre vacant parcel. The property previously operated as a recreational vehicle and boat storage use containing two on -site structures totaling approximately 2,232 square feet. These structures were demolished in June 2019. The site is primarily surrounded by existing single-family residential development to the north, east, and west, the SR-60 freeway to the south, and existing commercial development to the northwest. The SR-60 descending westbound off -ramp deck/structure is approximately 10-11 feet above the ground, and runs parallel to the site. The northerly and easterly residential properties are separated by a Los Angeles County Flood Control District channel, and the westerly residential properties are separated by Brea Canyon Road. Brea Canyon Business Park Project - Planning Case No. PL2017-169 Page 2 of 27 Packet Pg. 291 7.1.e The Project site is legally described as Lots 7 and 79 of Parcel Map No. 33069, and the Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) is 8719-013-017.

Several site plan scenarios with varying building placements, uses, and vehicular circulation and parking layouts were presented and evaluated between the applicant team and staff. After several iterations, the final site layout reflects input from City staff and consultants, and addresses residents' concerns raised during a community meeting hosted by the applicant. Brea Canyon Business Park Project - Planning Case No. PL2017-169 Page 4 of 27 Packet Pg. 293 7.1.e Prior to the submittal of the application, staff arranged a meeting with the executives from Farmer Boys (corporate owner of the restaurant property to the north) and the applicant in an effort to provide shared access between the subject property and the Farmer Boys lot. Several concerns were raised, including the following: • A single drive approach on Brea Canyon Road would replace and be located to the south of the current Farmer Boys driveway location. Farmer Boys were not receptive to doing so. • There will be impacts to the on -site circulation such as removal of existing parking spaces, and the queuing in the drive-thru lane currently obstructs the driveway access on Lycoming Street. These impacts would require the relocation of the parking spaces and widening of the driveway on Lycoming Street, but site constraints would inhibit the ability to address these impacts. Because the challenges and constraints to connecting the two sites would be excessively burdensome for the neighboring property owners to overcome, the Project was designed to be a self-contained development. Please refer to the plans provided in Attachment G for the following discussion. Site Plan: The layout provides excellent visibility from the freeway while minimizing potential negative impacts to the residential homes to the north. The tallest buildings have been placed towards the south property line, farthest away from the residential properties to the north. Access to the site is provided via an unsignalized right -turn in and right -turn out driveway on Brea Canyon Road with parking areas centrally located for efficient parking and traffic circulation. Building entrances have been oriented towards parking areas for ease of access and wayfinding. Subdivision: The parcel will be subdivided into four lots to accommodate the following uses: • Four-story Hilton Hampton Inn and Suites hotel with 109-rooms; • Three-story professional office building with subdivision of air space for 34 medical and general office units; • One-story medical office building with subdivision of air space for two medical office units; and • Common lot for driveway access, parking, utility systems, and other areas to be owned in common by a property owners association. The office units will be sold as office condominiums governed by a separate condominium association. Brea Canyon Business Park Project - Planning Case No. PL2017-169 Page 5 of 27 Packet Pg. 294 7.1.e Grading: Grading activities include approximately 8,000 cubic yards of cut and 8,000 cubic yards of fill, which balances the site. Excavation will include cuts to remove undocumented fills, excavations for building foundations, and trenching for new utility lines. Undocumented fills and portions of the compressible natural soils will be removed and replaced with properly compacted fill. Parking: There are 289 parking spaces proposed to be provided on -site, of which 52 are compact spaces and allocated for employee parking. The applicant is requesting a parking permit to share driveway access and parking between the proposed lots within the development. Architecture: A contemporary architectural theme was chosen for the Project. The buildings are designed to incorporate principles of the modern architecture through simplicity of building form and avoidance of superfluous details. Facades are articulated, with changes in roof height, wall planes, window composition, wall materials and colors. The architectural articulation and visual quality of the street facades are continued on all sides of all buildings. Metal accents, wood cladding, stone veneer, glass and building colors will be consistent for all three buildings to provide a cohesive, unified design. The entrance/lobby area to the hotel building is accentuated by a white fiber cement siding panels with a cantilevered canopy at the building entrance, bringing this element down to a human scale. The tall glazed openings have mullions to break up the large glass panels, and wood laminate panels, stone veneer and reveals are added on the elevations to break up the flat walls. Rendering of Four -Story Hotel Building Facing Parking Lot Brea Canyon Business Park Project - Planning Case No. PL2017-169 Page 6 of 27 Packet Pg. 295 7.1.e Rendering of Three -Story Office Building Facing Parking Lot One -Story Medical Office Building Facing Parking Lot Building Height: The four-story hotel building is 64 feet to the top of the parapet; the three-story office building is approximately 55 feet to the top of the mechanical screen wall; and the one-story medical office building is 20 feet to the top of the parapet. Landscaping: There are 95 existing mature trees within the site, none of which are native or protected. According to the arborist report, five are dead and the other 90 are in poor condition due to drought stress, under -pruning, and poor pruning, so all 95 trees will be removed. A total of 221 new trees will be planted. The proposed conceptual landscape plan offers an extensive mix of trees, shrubs and groundcovers that provide variations in color, height and textures. The landscape will be enhanced by adding more trees, shrubs, and ground cover throughout the property. Brea Canyon Business Park Project - Planning Case No. PL2017-169 Page 7 of 27 Packet Pg. 296 7.1.e Nine 36-inch box London plane trees are proposed along the Project site entry, six 24-inch box Muskogee crape myrtle trees are proposed along the Brea Canyon Road street frontage, in addition to seven 24-inch box Australian willow street trees. Ten different species of trees being proposed. Southern live oak trees are proposed throughout the parking areas to associate the site with the landscape character of Diamond Bar. Although the existing trees located along the north property line, adjacent to the County flood control channel will be removed, the applicant will be planting a double row of 36-inch Mondell pine and Brisbane box trees to provide screening for the residences on Lycoming Street and Dryander Drive, located directly across the flood control channel. All other plant types proposed are non-invasive plant species. The majority of the plant palette consists of low water use plants, and is required to comply with the water -efficient landscape requirements, which will be verified during building plan check. The south property boundary will provide a variety of evergreen trees and shrubs to provide year-round screening and color. The proposed six-foot high block wall along the south property line will be smooth stuccoed and articulated with landscaped pockets with flowering vines planted every 50 feet to soften the hard wall surfaces when viewed from the public right-of-way. Additionally, the Caltrans owned and maintained slope directly adjacent to the southern boundary that runs parallel to the existing SR60 westbound offramp will be landscaped with a variety of shrubs and irrigated to provide an attractive visual statement from Brea Canyon Road. Currently, the area has very little vegetation and is not adequately maintained. The applicant is required to install the landscape improvements as specified in the conceptual landscape plans and maintain the area. The City will be entering into a landscape maintenance agreement with Caltrans and another agreement with the property owner requiring the landscaping in the Caltrans ROW to be installed and maintained by the property owner.

ANALYSIS: Review Authority (Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Sections 22.70, 22.32, 22.58, 21.20.080, 22.48, 22.30.050, and 22.36.060) As stated, the Project requires seven discretionary entitlement applications for review. Three entitlements (General Plan Amendment, Zone Change and Tentative Parcel Map) require City Council approval, and the other four entitlements (Conditional Use Permit, Development Review, Parking Permit and Comprehensive Sign Program) require Planning Commission approval. DBMC Section 22.48.030 of the Development Code requires all applications to be processed simultaneously by the highest review authority. Therefore, the Planning Commission's role in this matter is to forward a recommendation to the City Council for the seven discretionary entitlements described below. The following analysis sets forth the foundation for the Findings of Fact contained in the attached resolutions. Together, the analysis and findings provide the basis for staff's recommendation that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the Project and all of its components, subject to the conditions set forth in the approval resolutions. Brea Canyon Business Park Project - Planning Case No. PL2017-169 Page 10 of 27 Packet Pg. 299 7.1.e General Plan Amendment (DBMC Section 22.70) The General Plan Amendment is a request to change the land use designation from Professional Office (OP) to General Commercial (C). The City's General Plan, adopted on July 25, 1995, is a long-range planning document developed as a comprehensive growth -management and community development strategy. It defines citywide policies that are achieved through subsequent community plans, ordinances, standards and guidelines, studies, capital improvements, economic development and other pertinent programs. The adopted policies of the General Plan guide the physical development pattern and promote the necessity of adequate public services and facilities. The General Plan is the controlling document. The preparation, adoption, implementation and maintenance of the General Plan aids in informing developers, citizens, decision -makers, and others of the rules that will guide development, and provide a basis for local government judgments. All land use decisions of the City have a direct correlation to the established goals and policies of the General Plan. The existing General Plan land use designation is Professional Office (OP), which allows for the establishment of office -based working environments for general, professional, and administrative offices, as well as support uses. The proposed land use designation is General Commercial (C), which provides for regional, freeway - oriented, and/or community retail and service commercial uses. Adjacent land use designations are General Commercial (C) and Low Medium Residential (RLM). Given the highly visible location adjacent to the freeway and its proximity to the freeway offramp providing additional exposure and convenient access to the traveling public, the land use designation is being changed to allow for a hotel use at this site. Staff believes that the proposed amendment represents a logical, appropriate and rational land use designation, which is consistent with the land use designations directly to the northwest. Relationship to the Comprehensive General Plan Update Although the City is currently in the process of updating the General Plan (which also proposes to redesignate the subject property to General Commercial). The Update has not yet been adopted by the City Council. As such, the Project must be consistent with the adopted 1995 General Plan, which requires the Land Use Map to be concurrently amended. Zone Change (DBMC Section 22.32) Zoning is the division of a city into districts and the prescription and application of different regulations in each district. These zoning regulations are generally divided into two classes: 1) those which regulate the height and bulk of buildings within certain designated districts, and 2) those which prescribe the use to which buildings within certain designated districts may be put. The purpose of zoning is the attainment of unity in the construction and development of a city, along reasonable regulations which tend to promote the health, safety and general welfare of the community. Brea Canyon Business Park Project - Planning Case No. PL2017-169 Page 11 of 27 Packet Pg. 300 7.1.e A Zone Change is being requested to change the zoning district from Light Industry (1) to Regional Commercial -Planned Development Overlay (C-3-PD). The existing zoning allows for light industrial/manufacturing uses including research and development, office -based industrial uses, business support services, and commercial uses requiring larger sites than are available in the commercial zoning districts. The existing zoning is also inconsistent with the current General Plan land use designation of OP. The proposed C-3 zoning district allows for large-scale commercial uses serving residents and businesses within the region including a broad spectrum of land uses, including retail stores, restaurants, hotels and offices, and will be consistent with the proposed General Plan land use designation of General Commercial (C). An overlay district constitutes a zoning tool to control and regulate the use of property. It can be used to stimulate development, encourage superior land uses, and promote high quality development. To promote and facilitate the orderly development of a prominent, freeway off -ramp adjacent site, the overlay district provides for flexibility in the site planning and design of the proposed Project. Conditional Use Permit (DBMC Section 22.58) A CUP is required for all development proposed on a site subject to a Planned Development Overlay district to allow for modifications to any of the City's development standards including minimum lot area, setbacks, site coverage, floor area ratio, height limits, landscaping, or off-street parking. The proposed Project is requesting modifications as follows: • Exceed the building height limit to allow a 64' high, four-story hotel and 55-2" high, three-story office buildings (where 35 feet is the maximum allowed); • Reduce the parking requirement to allow 289 spaces (where 299 spaces are required); and • Deviate from the parking design standard by reducing the size of 53 parking spaces to 8'X16' to allow for compact spaces (where 9'X19' is required). The applicant initially proposed placing the hotel building alongside the northwestern portion of the lot —abutting the Farmer Boys drive-thru restaurant —along with the three- story office building and a drive-thru restaurant building adjacent to the flood control channel. The drive-thru restaurant building was eliminated due to the high parking demand and potential noise impacts to nearby residences, and replaced with a one- story medical office building requiring less parking and reduced hours of operation. Staff strongly recommended relocating the hotel and three-story office buildings to the southern boundary in order to push the buildings as far away from the existing residences across the flood control channel and alleviate any potential privacy and shade and shadow concerns from the height of the buildings. The modifications to the Project allow the buildings to be located closest to the south property line by allocating Brea Canyon Business Park Project - Planning Case No. PL2017-169 Page 12 of 27 Packet Pg. 301 7.1.e the floor areas vertically, share parking between the parcels, and utilize the rear portion of the parking lot with compact stalls. The Planned Development Overlay District allows for the modifications based on the site design and is deemed to be the best layout due to the size and configuration of the lot, while being mindful of existing residential uses. Tentative Parcel Map (DBMC Section 21.20.080) Pursuant to Section 66424 of the Subdivision Map Act, a Tentative Parcel Map is required for the subdivision of any units/parcels of improved land for the purpose of sale, lease or financing. A Tentative Parcel Map is requested to subdivide the lot into three separate parcels to allow each parcel to be sold off and separately owned and one parcel to be owned in common; and to create a condominium subdivision of air space for two office buildings. A common lot will include the driveway access, internal circulation system, parking, open spaces, easements and utilities. The three-story office building will subdivide air space for 34 medical and general office units, and the one-story medical office building will subdivide air space for two medical office units. These properties will be governed by a property owners association and a property maintenance agreement to share the driveway access, parking, utility systems, and other areas to be owned in common by the association. The office buildings will be sold as office condominiums, governed by a condominium association. The proposed subdivision will result in four separate parcels and condominiums as listed below: Proposed Parcel Parcel 1 Proposed Use Three -Story Office Lot Size 17,237 sq. ft. Condominium 34 Units Parcel 2 One -Story Medical Office 9,642 sq. ft. 2 Units Parcel 3 Four -Story Hotel 21,982 sq. ft. - Parcel 4 Common Areas 200,161 sq. ft. - 249,022 sq. ft. (5.7 acres) 36 Units The Project is conditioned to submit Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) that govern the four parcels as well as the condominium units within the office buildings, and is subject to review and approval by the Planning Division, Public Works Department, and City Attorney prior to final map approval. Development Review (DBMC Section 22.48) The purpose of Development Review (DR) is to establish consistency with the General Plan through the promotion of high aesthetic and functional standards to complement and add to the economic, physical, and social character of the City. The process ensures that new development and intensification of existing development yields a pleasant living environment, and attracts the interest of residents and visitors as the result of consistent exemplary design. Brea Canyon Business Park Project - Planning Case No. PL2017-169 Page 13 of 27 Packet Pg. 302 7.1.e • Development Standards: The following table compares the proposed Project with the City's development standards for commercial development in the C-3 zone: Development Development Proposed Meets Feature Standards Requirements Front Setback 10 feet landscaped 10 feet landscaped Yes Side Setbacks 10 feet 10'-6" — north side Yes 20' — south side Rear Setback 10 feet 614 feet Yes Floor Area Ratio 1.0 0.48 Yes Building Height 64' — four story hotel Limit 35 feet 55'-2" — three story office Yes* 20' — one story medical Parking 299 spaces 289 spaces Yes** *The Planned Development Overlay District allows modifications to the building height limit. **The Planned Development Overlay District allows for modifications to the parking requirement. Additionally, the proposed Project will provide adequate parking by means of a shared parking arrangement with the proposed parcels. The conditions of approval require a reciprocal parking and access agreement to be recorded with the final map. The Project is comprised of three buildings and complies with the development standards in the C-3 zone with the exception of the modifications being requested. The Planned Development Overlay District allows for the modifications based on the site design and is deemed to be the best layout due to the size and configuration of the lot. • Architectural Features, Colors, and Material: The City's Design Guidelines have been established to encourage a better compatible building and site design that improves the vital quality of the surrounding area through aesthetically pleasing site planning, building design, and architecture. In addition, a primary objective is to promote compatibility with adjacent uses to minimize any potential negative impacts. Notable elements of the project design which address the Citywide Design Guidelines include, among other things, the following: ➢ The exterior building design, including roof style, color, materials, architectural form and detailing is consistent on all elevations of each building to achieve Brea Canyon Business Park Project - Planning Case No. PL2017-169 Page 14 of 27 Packet Pg. 303 7.1.e design harmony and continuity within itself. Parapet walls are also treated as an integral part of the building design. Monotony of building design as well as busyness is avoided through variation in wall plane, roof line, detailing and materials. v Articulation and accent colors for identity and visual interest are provided for the building entrances, and special accents such as decorative interlocking pavers and specimen trees are used to generate visual interest at entry points. Elements which transition to the human scale, particularly near the ground, are integral components of the building designs. ' Outdoor open spaces for each building are incorporated within the commercial center, creating a sense of community gathering places. Parking areas are screened from the street and adjacent residential properties with landscaping. Parking Permit (DBMC Section 22.30.050) Pursuant to DBMC Section 22.30.050 of the Development Code, where two or more commercial uses are developed as a professional center and those uses have distinct and differing peak parking usage periods, a reduction in the required number of parking spaces may be allowed through the approval of a parking permit, provided that the most remote space is located within 300 feet of the use it is intended to serve (as measured along the most direct pedestrian path). The amount of reduction may be up to the amount of spaces required for the least intensive of the two or more uses sharing the parking. The applicant is requesting a Parking Permit because there is a technical deficit of 10 parking spaces overall, but all uses will share common parking areas. Because there is a deficit number of parking spaces when shared parking dynamics are not factored in, staff required a parking study to analyze the parking demand through the application of a shared parking concept. The applicant submitted a parking study (Attachment E), prepared and signed by a licensed traffic engineer, that provides parking demand calculations based on survey data collected at a similar hotel site in conjunction with the Urban Land Institute's Shared Parking (2nd Edition) methodology. As stated, there are 289 spaces proposed on -site, of which 53 are compact spaces and are proposed to be allocated for employee parking. Based on the parking studies assessing the projected peak weekday parking demand of 261 spaces, there will be a surplus of 29 spaces; and the peak weekend parking demand totals 178 spaces, which results in a surplus of 111 spaces. An alternative assessment was done to ensure that adequate parking is provided using parking utilization data/surveys for the hotel component with the office uses, resulting in a surplus of 62 spaces on weekdays and 144 spaces on weekends. The proposed development will adequately meet the overall Brea Canyon Business Park Project - Planning Case No. PL2017-169 Page 15 of 27 Packet Pg. 304 7.1.e parking demand by providing 289 spaces for all parcels. To ensure that adequate parking is available for customers and employees of the Brea Canyon Business Center, a Parking Management Plan will be developed that identifies the proposed employee parking spaces and key management strategies such as short term/time restricted spaces to maximize the availability of parking for customers of the center.

The agreement will be reviewed and approved by the Planning Division and City Attorney's Office prior to issuance of building permits. Traffic Impacts: Access to the Project site will be provided via a one right -turn in and right -turn out unsignalized driveway on Brea Canyon Road. A raised landscaped central median will be constructed along Brea Canyon Road in order to prevent vehicles from turning left to exit the Project site, as well as those traveling southbound along Brea Canyon Road from turning left into the Project site. Other traffic improvements include the following: • Restriping of the northbound approach to westbound Lycoming Street along Brea Canyon Road to the north of the Project's driveway to provide an additional exclusive westbound left -turn lane. • Restriping of the existing eastbound Lycoming Street shared left/through/right turn lane to provide an exclusive left -turn lane and shared through/right-turn lane. Brea Canyon Business Park Project - Planning Case No. PL2017-169 Page 16 of 27 Packet Pg. 305 7.1.e • Restriping of the existing westbound Lycoming Street to accommodate two receiving lanes due to the addition of a second exclusive westbound left -turn lane. The existing roadway condition at the intersection of Brea Canyon Road at Lycoming Street is currently operating at an acceptable level of service in the AM peak hours (LOS D) and an unacceptable level of service in the PM peak hours (LOS E). The proposed Project significantly impacts this intersection of Brea Canyon Road at Lycoming Street, operating at an unacceptable level of service (LOS E in the AM peak hours and LOS F in the PM peak hours). However, the implementation of traffic improvements at the intersection will offset the Project increment and result in an acceptable level of service in the AM and PM peak hours (LOS D).

The intent of a CSP "is to integrate a project's signs with the design of the structures to achieve a unified architectural statement. A comprehensive sign program provides a means for the flexible application of sign regulations for multitenant projects and other users of multiple signs in order to encourage creativity and provide incentive and latitude in the provision of multiple signs and to achieve, not circumvent, the intent of (the Sign Ordinance)" [DBMC Section 22.36.060(a)]. The proposed CSP is included in Attachment F. Detailed conceptual designs for all signs are included and specified below. The criteria are tailored to ensure that the proposed signage is appropriate to the Project. The applicant is proposing four wall signs for each elevation of the hotel building and one wall sign for the one-story office building. A 10-foot high freestanding monument sign is proposed at the Project entry, and smaller freestanding monument signs are proposed in front of the office buildings. The proposed sign criteria require that the proposed signs be reviewed as part of the design review of the building as to size, sign area, and their proportion to the building. The following is a detailed description of each proposed sign and the analysis of its placement and sign area. Proposed Signage Sign Type Location Quantity Sign Area Height Meets Require- ments Hotel — Front/Rear: 124.75 Sq. Ft. Front: 3'-10" All Elevations 4 Side: 63.75 Sq. Ft.

The CSP enhances the overall development by providing size criteria for wall and monument signs that are appropriate to the scale and setbacks of the buildings, and are placed so that they respect and harmonize with the architectural elements onto which they will be mounted or constructed. All text, graphics and logos will be individually fabricated in accordance with the tenants' branding specifications, and no generic letter styles or sign cabinets with interchangeable sign panels will be allowed. Compatibility with Neighborhood Community Meeting The applicant held a community meeting on February 22, 2018. Notices were mailed to property owners within a 700-foot radius of the Project site. There were approximately 30 residents in attendance. The following concerns and comments were raised at the meeting: • Traffic Impacts: New development will generate additional traffic in the area; vehicles will stack up on northbound Brea Canyon Road to make a U-turn on Lycoming Street since a left turn will not be allowed from the Project site; and tour buses will use the parking lot or will drop off tourists on Brea Canyon Road causing more traffic in the area. • The height of the buildings will create privacy issues such as views into the rear yards and bedroom windows of the residential homes to the north. • The proposed buildings will block sunlight and cast shadows onto the properties to the north and east. • There will be additional gas emissions and noise generated from the development and will affect the children and school across the street. • The parking lot will be a truck stop. • The development will attract prostitution and homeless. Brea Canyon Business Park Project - Planning Case No. PL2017-169 Page 20 of 27 Packet Pg. 309 7.1.e The site is primarily surrounded by existing single-family residential development to the north, east, and west, the 60 freeway to the south, and existing commercial development to the northwest. The northerly and easterly residential properties are separated by a 50-foot wide Los Angeles County flood control easement and the westerly residential properties are separated by Brea Canyon Road. Aerial View Looking South Visual Impact. The freeway mainline is located approximately 30 feet higher than the Project site. With the heights of the hotel and three-story office buildings and the placement of these buildings along the southern boundary, a portion of the freeway will be screened from a number of existing homes along the westerly segments of Dryander Drive and portions of Lycoming Street west of Dryander Drive. Noise. Although the freeway noise will continue to radiate over and around the hotel and the three-story office buildings, the proposed buildings will attenuate some of the existing ambient noise. Privacy and Visual Screening: Previous site layouts proposed placing the hotel building alongside the northwestern portion of the lot —abutting the Farmer Boys drive-thru restaurant —along with the three-story office building adjacent to the flood control channel. A shade and shadow study was conducted on the previous layouts. The three-story office building created shadow impacts onto nearby residential properties. In order to avoid or minimize potential visual intrusion and the proposed buildings casting shadows on the nearby residential properties and respond to the concerns raised at the community meeting, the placement of the hotel and three-story office Brea Canyon Business Park Project - Planning Case No. PL2017-169 Page 21 of 27 Packet Pg. 310 7.1.e buildings were relocated to the southern boundary of the lot, away from the nearby residential homes to avoid such impacts. At its nearest location, the hotel building will be located approximately 246 feet away from the nearest single-family home, and the three-story office building will be located approximately 132 feet away. The windows are inoperable and no exterior walkways or balconies are provided on either building. The Project is designed to minimize the negative impacts on the surrounding homes to the north. The perimeter of the site is appropriately screened with landscaped buffering on all sides. Although the existing trees located along the north property line, adjacent to the County flood control channel will be removed, the applicant will be installing a landscaped buffer area with large 36-inch box, double row of large canopy trees to provide screening for the residential homes on Lycoming Street and Dryander Drive, located directly across the flood control channel. Section views below illustrate an individual standing on the fourth floor of the hotel building looking north into the rear yard areas of the homes along Lycoming Street, as well another section illustrating an individual standing on the third floor of the three-story office building looking north toward homes along Dryander Drive. Given the distance and the planting of double row of large canopy trees, the views will be obstructed. 4r.ap• �_ �� lVjr `_ o I UM OFRCE � rsrorrr 1A `. ems• -- -�. ;� DTEL Eq l 1 N � pyrRPR$5 Plan View Showing Location of Section Drawings Brea Canyon Business Park Project - Planning Case No. PL2017-169 Page 22 of 27 Packet Pg. 311 Figure 16 PROPOSED "BREA CANYON BUSINESS PARK" PROJECT SECTION DRAWING ILLUSTRATING VIEWS FROM THE PROPOSED HOTEL TOWARD LYCOMING STREET Source: GAAArcWects I ❑ U 2 01 b2 I = W �W 0]W Aa WU d Vj li N in 73 ❑ z� W } ad �� ❑ _ �O pj c3 r0 C7 H i : f z JAI i i Figure 17 PROPOSED `BREA CANYON BUSINESS PARK" PROJECT SECTION DRAWING ILLUSTRATING NEWS FROM THE PROPOSED 3-STORY MEDICAL I OFFICE BUILDING TOWARD DRYANDER DRIVE Source- GAA Archi[eck Brea Canyon Business Park Project - Planning Case No. PL2017-169 Page 23 of 27 Packet Pg. 312 7.1.e Shade and Shadow Impacts: Due to the height of the four-story hotel and three-story office buildings, staff required a shade and shadow study to analyze the shadows cast onto residential properties to the north. The analysis illustrated that there were no shadows cast by the proposed Project onto nearby residential properties, with the exception of three residences located along Dryander Drive. The front yard areas of two residences and the side yard of one residence appear to have shadows cast in the month of December, but the roof areas where solar systems could be placed are not impacted. An illustration of the worst -case scenario is presented below, during the winter solstice where the sun is lower in the sky and shadows are at their maximum lengths.

The Project is also consistent with the City Council's 2017-2020 Strategic Plan, most notably the Safe, Sustainable and Healthy Community goal to "(s)ecure a development agreement for a new hotel project." The neighborhood will also benefit from improvements from this Project, some of which include: • Traffic improvements on Brea Canyon Road to improve traffic flow in the area. • Attractive streetscape improvements along the Project frontage. • High -quality architecture and significant landscape improvements, including the planting of 221 new trees (a net increase of 131 trees). • Streetscape improvements to expand the City's streetscape beautification program. • Upgrade the Caltrans offramp with landscaping, and thus enhancing one of the entry points to the City. Additional Review The Public Works/Engineering Department and Building and Safety Division, as well as the County of Los Angeles Fire Department reviewed this Project and included their comments in the attached resolutions as conditions of approval. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: This Project has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Based on that assessment, the City prepared an Initial Study and filed a Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the Project with the Office of Planning and Research and the Los Angeles County Clerk on September 19, 2019. The notice was published in the Inland Valley Daily Tribune and San Gabriel Valley Tribune newspapers (see Exhibit A of Attachment A). The notice was also mailed to public agencies and residents who attended the community meeting. Pursuant to CEQA Section 15105, a 30-day public review period for the MND began on September 20, 2019, and ended October 19, 2019. The Initial Study is a preliminary analysis to determine whether or not a Negative Declaration, Mitigated Negative Declaration, or Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is Brea Canyon Business Park Project - Planning Case No. PL2017-169 Page 25 of 27 Packet Pg. 314 7.1.e needed for a project. If the Initial Study concludes that the proposed Project will not significantly affect the environment, a Negative Declaration may be prepared. If there are potential impacts from the proposed Project that can be mitigated to a level of less than significant, a Mitigated Negative Declaration may be prepared. The Initial Study concluded that the Project will not significantly affect the environment through the incorporation of 22 mitigation measures, and as the result of previous revisions to the proposed Project which were agreed to by the applicant to mitigate other potential impacts. An MND is a written document that describes the reasons that the Project will not have a significant effect on the environment by properly conditioning the Project ("mitigation measures") to make the Project acceptable. It is used to guide and assist the City staff, Planning Commission, City Council, and the public in the consideration and evaluation of potential environmental impacts that may result from the Project and must be considered by the Commission prior to recommending approval of the Project. The MND for the Project, documents reasons to support the findings that the Project would not have any potentially significant impacts on the environment with the proposed mitigation measures which are contained with the Mitigation Reporting and Monitoring Program (MRMP) prepared as part of the MND. The purpose of the MRMP is to ensure compliance with the mitigation measures, address site -specific conditions for the Project, and also identifies timing and responsibility for monitoring each measure and is attached to the Resolution recommending adoption of the MND (Exhibit B of Attachment A). The Project is conditioned to include these mitigation measures as part of Project approval. Cultural Resources Senate Bill 18 and Assembly Bill 52 — Tribal Consultation: SB18 and AB52 requires notification/request for tribal consultation for projects. SB18 applies when amending a general plan land use designation, and AB52 applies to projects subject to CEQA. A notification list was obtained from the Native American Heritage Commission and the City sent notices to the Tribes informing them of the opportunity to request consultation on July 24, 2019. On July 30, 2019, the City received a letter from the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians (Kizh Nation), indicating that the Project area lies in an area where the ancestral territories of the Kizh (Kitc) Gabrieleno villages adjoined and overlapped. On August 5, 2019, the City also received a letter from the Gabriel ino-Tongva Tribe indicating ancestral ties and cultural affiliation to the Project area. In accordance with the request by the tribes, a mitigation measure was added requiring the applicant to retain a culturally -affiliated Native American monitor to observe earthmoving activities for the purpose of identifying the potential presence of any significant historic or prehistoric cultural resources. NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING: Public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within a 700-foot radius of the Project site on October 17, 2019, and to the residents who attended the community Brea Canyon Business Park Project - Planning Case No. PL2017-169 Page 26 of 27 Packet Pg. 315 7.1.e meeting. The notice was also published in the Inland Valley Daily Tribune and San Gabriel Valley Tribune newspapers on October 18, 2019. The Project site was posted with a notice display board, and a copy of the public notice was posted at the City's four designated community posting sites.

PUBLIC HEARINGS: 8.1 Brea Canyon Business Park — Planning Case No. PL20217-169: The applicant proposes to build a new commercial development consisting of a 109 room, four-story hotel; a 47,642 square foot, three-story office building; and, an 8900 square foot one level medical office building on an approximately 5.7- acre vacant parcel located on the east side of south Brea Canyon Road between Lycoming Street and the SR60 freeway. Prior to June 2019 the property operated as a recreational vehicle and boat storage facility. Pursuant to Titles 21 and 22 — Subdivision and Development Code Sections 22.70, 22.32, 22.58, 21.20, 22.48, 22.30.050 and 22.36.060, the proposed project consists of the following: General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation from Professional Office (OP) to General Commercial (C). Zone Change to change the zoning district from Light Industry (1) to Regional Commercial -Planned Development Overlay (C-3-PD). Tentative Parcel Map to subdivide the subject property into four parcels, and to create a condominium subdivision for two office buildings. The condominium subdivision proposes to subdivide air space for 34 office units within the three- story office building, and subdivide air space for two medical office units within the one story office building. Development Review to approve the site and architectural designs of a new commercial development to ensure consistency with the General Plan, Development Code, and compliance with all applicable design guidelines and standards. Conditional Use Permit to approve development on a site subject to a Planned Development Overlay District and allow modifications to the building height limit to allow a 64' (64 foot) high, four-story hotel and a 55' 2" (55 foot 2 inch) high, three-story office building (where 35 feet is the maximum allowed); reduce the parking requirement to allow 289 spaces (where 299 spaces are required); and, deviate from the parking design standard by reducing the size of a 53 parking spaces to 8' x 6' (8 foot x 6 foot) to allow for compact spaces (where 9'x19' spaces are required). Parking Permit to share access and parking between the proposed parcels. Comprehensive Sign Program to establish design criteria for all signage associated with the proposed buildings. PROJECT ADDRESS PROPERTY OWNER/ APPLICANT: 850 Brea Canyon Road Diamond Bar, CA 91765 Philip Lee, Lycoming LLC 17777 Center Court Drive #725 Cerritos, CA 90703 Packet Pg. 317 7.1.f OCTOBER 30, 2019 PAGE 2 PLANNING COMMISSION Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 15070, the City prepared an initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration for this project. Pursuant to CEQA Section 15105, the public review period for the Mitigated Negative Declaration began September 20, 2019, and ended October 19, 2019. SP/Lee presented staff's report and recommended that the Planning Commission recommend City Council approval of Brea Canyon Business Park, Planning Case No. PL2017-169. C/Rawlings asked for confirmation of traffic mitigation efforts provided in staff's report and stated that according to the presentation there will be traffic improvement in the pm hours, particularly with no significant traffic problems being created in either the morning or pm hours. SP/Lee said that C/Rawlings was correct. C/Rawlings asked with respect to the right-turn-in/right-turn-out, if there was currently a U-turn lane at Brea Canyon and Lycoming. SP/Lee responded that there was not. C/Rawlings asked how vehicles making a right -turn -out during the morning hours and visiting businesses to the north would be able to turn around to get back to the freeway entrance without a permitted U-turn lane and what kinds of impact might that create. SP/Lee said she understood there was not enough room to make a U-turn on Lycoming which she will double check with the traffic engineer when he arrives. She said she believed that drivers would have to proceed north, make a left turn and turn facing south to get back to the freeway. C/Mok said that before the Commission discusses the traffic issue any further he would like for staff to confirm the following: Some of the tables such as 11-1 on Page 59 in the report refer to "modify traffic signals" in the future. He asked for a detailed explanation of that phrase and whether it might include left -turn only arrows on the signal. SP/Lee said "yes". C/Mok said the reason he is asking this question is to specifically determine whether people traveling north will be able to make a left turn (green left turn arrow) onto Lycoming. SP/Lee responded yes, that they would be able to do so. Chair/Barlas opened the public hearing. Preston Chan, Executive Development, stated that he is the project manager for the Brea Canyon Business Park and thanked the Commission for taking time to review the project. Executive Development is a commercial real estate developer located in Cerritos and their experience includes hotel, retail, mixed -use and office development. As staff mentioned, this project has been in the works for a number of years and Executive Development has been very diligent in studying various uses and have run through many feasibility studies that have produced over 20 site plans. In addition, his firm hosted a neighborhood seminar for the Packet Pg. 318 7.1.f OCTOBER 30, 2019 PAGE 3 PLANNING COMMISSION community to hear their concerns. The idea behind this project was to fill the need for hospitality and office in the City. Due to the high cost of construction, new office developments are somewhat few and far between compared to other types of developments. This lack of supply has forced many businesses to go elsewhere to find space so the primary focus of this project is to bring those businesses back to the City of Diamond Bar and provide them with the opportunity to purchase their own office space. To that end, the spaces will be subdivided so that instead of leasing, occupants can purchase their own units. These business owners are generally motivated to own so that they can truly invest in the space because they know they will remain in their space for a long period of time. In addition, occupants will not suffer rent increases or face lease expirations that force them to find other spaces. Hampton Inn is Hilton's most popular franchise and arguably the most recognizable among all hotel brands in the US. The franchise fee has been paid and Hampton Inn is secured. His firm believes that the synergies between the hotel and office will work well at this site. He again thanked the Commission for their consideration and said he was available to answer questions. Public Comments: Grace Lim -Hays stated that she lives close to the proposed project, a 15-minute walk from Hampton Court. She is Board President of her neighborhood (Washington Street adjacent to Brea Canyon Road) and is speaking on behalf of the residents. She hoped that the Planning Commission would consider and address the concerns from her community. It seems this project is being rushed at an accelerated rate for something that will need a general plan amendment and zoning change. This represents a significant change in the community's character and traffic, and her association believes a more thorough public input process should have taken place. Instead, only those within a 700' radius were informed which explains why she was not at the prior developer -hosted community meeting. However, the impacts of this project will radiate beyond the 700 foot radius. Brea Canyon Road is a major arterial road for Diamond Bar residents and one of the main access points to the freeways and ingress and egress in case of emergency and Brea Canyon Road is the only access to her neighborhood. She asked that the comment period be reopened for the EIR to address the concerns of the community and said the project should be better publicized to the entire City. She also questioned the analysis of the traffic study and the conclusion that resulting traffic would be less than significant, which is very doubtful for those who live in the area and will experience the stress of a four-story Hampton Inn. Traffic is already very difficult with people exiting the train station. Brea Canyon Road and Golden Springs Drive are usually at a standstill at this time of the evening. She spoke to this issue and said she provided exhibits to the GPAC during discussions of the TOD plans. Supardi Dermawan expressed concerns about the traffic. He lives close to the Packet Pg. 319 7.1.f OCTOBER 30, 2019 PAGE 4 PLANNING COMMISSION Montessori School at the southwest corner of Brea Canyon and Lycoming. Currently, there is a left -turn for traffic from Brea Canyon Road onto Lycoming which allows for a U-turn. He believes traffic will become more dangerous with hotel traffic. Chris O'Brien, a Diamond Bar resident, spoke in support of the Brea Canyon Business Center and wants to make sure that this community makes the best decision for all residents. Some of his friends are looking for office condos in this area for their small businesses. And, his family would greatly benefit from a Hilton hotel because they have many visitors coming to Diamond Bar from outside of the US during holidays. As members of the Hilton and Marriott membership program, his family members complain about the lack of a Hilton or Marriott hotel in the area, many of whom stay in Anaheim or Riverside. Benefits from this hotel locating in Diamond Bar would include tax revenue, patronage to City businesses and easy access to local family members. Michael Chen, a 29-year resident, has witnessed changes in the City and believes the City is moving in the right direction with respect to its retail decisions. The proposed development will, in his opinion, be a great economic plus for Diamond Bar. Hospitality is a booming industry that continues to grow annually. As a local real estate agent, property value is very import to his clients, and buyers want to purchase homes where they can see potential growth in the real estate market. Being able to add value to their land is very often a make or break deal for home buyers. By adding a commercial project like Brea Canyon Business Park, the City will see a direct effect on home values throughout the City. More jobs will be created and more demand to live in Diamond Bar will increase housing values for most of the current residents. The hospitality market is an industry that is continually in demand by international and domestic travelers and as Diamond Bar continues to move forward, he believes it is essential to consider the addition of more hotel accommodations which will bring convenience to travelers and economic benefits to the City. At this time, there are only three well -recognized hotel chains in Diamond Bar and to have a globally recognized brand like Hilton will be much more beneficial from a marketing standpoint. Lee Paulson said this is an interesting project and he can see the value of the hotel tax and everything that has been expressed. He believes that if it can be done correctly so that it works well for the City it will be a nice addition to the community for all of the reasons mentioned. His only real concern is that it be done right which he believes will be a serious challenge given the intersection it is in. From 5 to 7 pm that portion of Brea Canyon is a literal parking lot and by adding a hotel, it would seem to him that it would make matters worse. He would like to request that the traffic engineer do an additional study to look at the timing of the 3200 trips and how that can be mitigated in the best possible way. Cynthia Brown, a Diamond Bar resident since 1992 who lives on Dryander Drive, Packet Pg. 320 7.1.f OCTOBER 30, 2019 PAGE 5 PLANNING COMMISSION said she agreed with a prior speaker that additional traffic assessments need to be done because of the intersection of Brea Canyon Road and Lycoming Avenue where there is not enough space to make U-turns. When the overpass was built, it created even more traffic problems for the residents and she does not see the need for another hotel. Also, three residences will be affected by the shadowing of this project and she wondered if anyone had taken the time to survey those residents. She is concerned because there are two schools on Lycoming and because of the additional traffic on Lemon and Lycoming. Between 5 and 7 pm, it is a parking lot from Valley Boulevard to Golden Springs Drive. She asked that the Commission reconsider making an exception for the height of the proposed buildings. Jolene McCurry lives in the neighborhood that is directly affected by this project, just north of the SR60 and west of Brea Canyon Road in the community next to the school district office. Her issue is that she did not have ample time to review the documents. She received something in the mail about two weeks ago and shortly thereafter was told that the opportunity to review the documents ended on October 19t". She is not sure if the traffic study was included in those documents and she would like to have more opportunity to review the documents and an opportunity for further public discourse. She said she could not understand how the proposed plan would mitigate traffic and does not understand how a business can be opened and less traffic is expected. The 2018 proposal showed parking Packet Pg. 321 7.1.f OCTOBER 30, 2019 PAGE 6 PLANNING COMMISSION spaces totaled about 275 and she wanted to know how that number increased to 299. She reiterated she would like more time to review (the documents) and take a closer look at the traffic study. Aman Braman lives on Dryander Drive and spoke in opposition to the project for many reasons, primarily because he moved to Diamond Bar from LA and feels the traffic is following him. He does not believe this is a good project and his neighbors feel the same. He is worried about the safety of the school students who have to traverse the intersection and he is concerned about privacy, height (of the buildings) and traffic, as well as, the value of his property. Kevin Ferrier lives on the south side of Diamond Bar. He commutes via Brea Canyon Road past the project area on his way to the train station and he can attest to the issue of traffic between the hours of 5 and 7 pm during which there is a fair amount of cut -in traffic. If the fair -share for this business includes traffic mitigation, he would suggest there be a consideration of more mitigation measures than what has been proposed. If there is no U-turn allowed he would suggest shortening the very wide lane to one lane with a buffer, or that it be increased to three lanes to increase capacity and include a right -turn only lane on southbound Brea Canyon Road onto Lycoming continuing to the freeway entrance. Ezri McCurry lives in the residence near the Montessori preschool. Since the freeway entrance has been moved, her residence is now blocked off on both sides and they have no way out during morning and evening peak hours. She understands the hotel would be beneficial to the City and believes the lot should be utilized because it is an eyesore. But the traffic needs to be improved and if it is not, she cannot see staying in Diamond Bar. Rich Barretto, traffic engineer and Managing Principal for Linscott, Law & Greenspan Engineers, said he was present to answer questions from Commissioners. VC/Farago asked staff to display the rendering of the changes to the traffic pattern. C/Rawlings said he was told there was not enough space for a U-turn from Brea Canyon Road at Lycoming so that people leaving could exit the project site and get back down to the freeway and wanted to confirm that with the traffic engineer. Secondly, he asked Mr. Barretto to talk him through the mitigation efforts and which, specifically, would get the City from the potential LOS F to LOS D. Mr. Barretto responded to C/Rawlings that Diamond Bar has guidelines to follow and as traffic consultants, he and his firm look to the City to establish their own Level of Service criteria and standards, as well as impact criteria which is a good Packet Pg. 322 7.1.f OCTOBER 30, 2019 PAGE 7 PLANNING COMMISSION roadmap for professional engineers to follow. Under existing conditions, traffic operates okay but when one looks at the project, if it opened up tomorrow the question would be, what would happen at that location and would it degrade the service level. And this is where the decision makers and the public may have a problem wrapping their heads around a couple of things where sometimes the engineers will say the conditions after the project will actually be better with improvements than are the current conditions. In this particular situation, what is meant by that is that when the project opens and it adds traffic to this location, there are only certain things the City can do. The City cannot build half a lane or half a left -turn lane, so the benefit of the project adding a second left -turn lane is fully realized not only by this project, but also by existing traffic. In other words, when a second left -turn lane is added and take volumes at that location, the way intersection service levels are calculated are based on conflicting movements — such as, left turn versus southbound through, or through versus southbound left or cross streets. In this particular case, when one looks at the volumes at that location, there is enough justification that the City should probably look at a second left -turn lane. Hence, with this project and the access the way it sets up, there will be a right-in/right-out, a median to double back and drivers are either making a left turn to head down Lycoming or making some other movement to do that. So when the volumes are added to that intersection and the projects volumes are added to that left turn lane, it makes sense that when one looks at the intersection the question would be, what could actually help the intersection as a whole. And hence, the second left -turn lane was the agreed upon mitigation measure. So, because one cannot build half a lane, the project's capacity at that location may be 7 to 10 percent (or whatever the number is), but the added left - turn lane adds more capacity (beyond what is generated by the project) that is not only beneficial for the project but also for existing traffic. C/Rawlings said that some speakers commented that the southbound traffic is problematic. He asked if there were any mitigation efforts to help with that or did the mitigation efforts focus on southbound traffic at all. Mr. Barretto responded to C/Rawlings that one can think about this as if there is a tool box. In looking at the situation, perhaps in lieu of the left -turn lane, maybe the southbound through lane is the mitigation measure. When the engineers go through these improvements and work with staff on what could be done, they go through a menu of things that could happen. Typically, when they look at intersections, they go from least impactful to most impactful in terms of what will be done to the street. Sometimes the recommendation might be to stripe a right - turn if there is sufficient width; or, perhaps modify the median and add a second left -turn lane. When getting to the point of discussing adding a through -lane, sometimes the City ends up with a situation where they might have to widen lanes or shift lanes in the north and southbound directions to eliminate some of the offsets meaning that when one looks down the line the goal is to make sure traffic ends up on the far side without driving into another lane. That is not to say it Packet Pg. 323 7.1.f OCTOBER 30, 2019 PAGE 8 PLANNING COMMISSION cannot be the mitigation, but when staff looked at what would be beneficial and what could be constructed with relatively less impact to existing curb returns, the second left -turn lane was the mitigation lane. If a U-turn were to be allowed, the street from the inside left -turn lane to the outside curb would require about 34-36 feet which would give the vehicle sufficient room to complete the U-turn. C/Mok said it seems to him that most of the mitigation heading south on Brea Canyon Road (yellows and blues on the site map) are addressing the northbound traffic and then heading west on Lycoming. He wanted to hear more about how the traffic heading south would be mitigated since a lot of employees that work in the warehouses and different commercial areas north of the freeway will be heading toward the SR60 because he can see how that could become a parking lot from those areas all the way up to the SR60. Mr. Barretto responded to C/Mok that when studying the impact of the project because this is a mitigation where the project has a direct impact so it is under existing plus project conditions, the way the mitigation measure is written is that they have to construct the project and when the engineers and staff looked at it from that standpoint, the second left -turn lane would be the improvement that would happen. Again, that is not to say that as a substitute the third through lane would be the improvement, but what the engineer identified working with staff about what that mitigation measure would be, the second left -turn lane was the improvement determined for best case scenario for existing plus project conditions. C/Mok asked Mr. Barretto to elaborate on the phrase used on most of the tables "Modify traffic signal". Mr. Barretto explained that what is before the Commission is a disclosure document for the City's decision makers and for the applicant. When looking at physical improvements, all options are on the table so that the decision makers can consider things, such as, in addition to some striping or widening, there is a very good chance that if there is an existing signal there, something will have to be done with it because the curb returns might move and the signal would have to be modified and "modify traffic signal" is a general comment used so that when going through the improvements the goal is to identify what other physical improvements or what other hardware improvements would have to go along with improving an intersection. VC/Mok asked if "hardware" meant replacing signals that might accommodate a left -turn arrow at Lycoming and Brea Canyon Road northbound. Mr. Barretto said a change of hardware could include signals that might accommodate a left -turn arrow at Lycoming and Brea Canyon Road northbound. On the front end, given this is a "planning" document, when the engineer goes Packet Pg. 324 7.1.f OCTOBER 30, 2019 PAGE 9 PLANNING COMMISSION through the conceptualization of improvements the goal is to identify physically what the City would have to do on the street to get that second left -turn lane. Ultimately, if the signal pole arm length is not long enough, it will get defined on the construction side or the design/development side of the document as design plans are prepared. This is something that would be pointed out by the traffic engineer who is doing the design plans or City staff as they review the plans. That is why the catchall notation on the report is "modify traffic signal" because physically, beyond just the striping, there is a good chance that some of the signal poles, controller, and equipment that is required by the City may need to be replaced. VC/Mok asked who would pay for the changes and Mr. Barretto responded that it would depend on how the conditions are written. Most likely, if it is a project improvement he would guess the responsibility for payment would go to the project applicant. While he has not read the conditions, in his experience when there is a condition related to the project, the applicant is required to make and pay for those improvements. C/Rawlings referred to the bottom of Page 53 and the discussion about the intersection at Brea Canyon Road at Golden Springs Drive and asked for context of some of the options offered such as, "construct an additional exclusive southbound right -turn lane, construct an additional eastbound through lane, construct an additional eastbound left -turn lane, and construct an additional exclusive westbound right -turn lane" and asked if these are things that would possibly be done as part of this project for restriping that the City may be doing or if they were potential ideas for traffic mitigation for the future. Mr. Barretto responded to C/Rawlings that the way the City's Traffic Study Guidelines are written is that not only when one looks at the project's impact upon opening, it is of real concern when looking at an existing plus project because it presumes that the project on its own would generate a bunch of traffic on day one and those impacts are identified on day one. Beyond that, the City's Guidelines also look at this as what happens upon opening year, 2020-2022. Under the City's Guidelines and even looking out to 2040 which is what the City's Guidelines allow the City to do and gives the applicant an idea of what their obligation would be, which identifies a list of improvements that would mitigate the cumulative impact of the project as well as, the build -out impact of the project. Many cities go through this exercise because somewhere along the line, these improvements that are identified in this document and other documents including the General Plan document, it may end up on the City's Capital Improvement Program. It may be an improvement the City knows it has to begin to fund over the years, 20 years down the line so they determine the project's fair -share is this much and another project's fair -share is this much over that long-term period. Packet Pg. 325 7.1.f OCTOBER 30, 2019 PAGE 10 PLANNING COMMISSION C/Rawlings said that considering other potential improvements, if the Commission were to approve this project as presented this evening, he would assume that the Traffic and Transportation Commission would have the opportunity to explore some of the ideas that are raised in the proposal. CDD/Gubman responded no, that the Planning Commission would be making its recommendation on the Conditions of Approval that are written in the resolution to require all of those roadway improvements. The Traffic and Transportation Commission has no role in project -specific traffic improvements as part of the project preview. C/Mok referred to Exhibit 8.1.a — ADA Parking on Page 196 and 197. "The proposed site plan only illustrates two handicap parking spaces in direct proximity to. As a result, at least with regard to the proposed hotel, location of handicap parking does not appear to comply with minimum ADA Parking Standards". C/Mok asked if he should assume there will be something done to remedy this. Roger Deitos, Project Architect, GAA Architects, responded to C/Mok that as the site has been designed, it is a shared parking between the facilities. The number of parking spaces for handicap have been distributed based on the anticipated occupant loads for the individual uses and square footages. Currently on the site, there are two parking spaces that are handicap for the smaller building that is on the street frontage (Brea Canyon Road). As one enters the site, there are two parking spaces that are allocated for the hotel use immediately in front of the entrance and for the office building there are four parking spaces. There is a chart required by code based on ADA Accessible to Van Parking alone. The current plan addresses the required number based on the overall parking that is being provided. The way the site is connected, there is an accessibility point from the sidewalk to the entrances of all of the buildings and all of the handicapped parking spaces have accessible walkways. So, for the hotel, if the parking spaces are in use/full, there are opportunities to park elsewhere and get to the entrance via accessible pathways. C/Mok said that if the two spaces next to the hotel are being used, handicapped individuals are being asked to travel an additional distance to get to the hotel. Mr. Deitos responded to C/Mok that there is a drop off area in front of the hotel for easy access. C/Mok said he did not see designated parking spaces for handicapped parking for the medical building. Mr. Deitos responded to C/Mok that there are two parking spaces on either side of the medical building entry for a total of four handicap spaces. Packet Pg. 326 7.1.f OCTOBER 30, 2019 PAGE 11 PLANNING COMMISSION C/Mok said there are 53 parking spaces that will be smaller than normal parking spaces (8' x 16') and the document states those parking spaces will be for employees. Are all 53 spaces in one general area or are they scattered throughout the lot and would there be delineation. Mr. Deitos responded to C/Mok that the handicap spaces will be labeled with the handicap symbol, and compact spaces will be labeled as compact spaces, all of which are toward the east portion (triangle piece) of the site. The consideration was to congregate all of these in one area to alleviate the front parking area for patrons of the hotel, office and the one-story building on Brea Canyon Road. This will be part of the management plan. As individuals are brought on they will be informed about the parking regulations by their employers. The crosshatch areas are the pathways for the handicapped individuals to exit their vehicles and access the buildings. VC/Farago referred to the Site D Willow Heights Development on south Brea Canyon Road and Diamond Bar Boulevard and said that one of the major concerns of the residents who live adjacent to the development was that with all of these homes being built how it would affect neighborhood traffic. The engineer told the residents the same thing the traffic engineer has stated this evening about how the mitigation effort would make things better. However, everyone was very skeptical. He drives the area on a daily basis and in fact, the drive is better than it was 10 years ago. Yes, there is traffic, but he would like the engineer to repeat how this is calculated to address the skeptics because he was one of those skeptics who thought this is going to destroy his drive to work and it actually improved his drive. Mr. Barretto said he was holding his breath while VC/Farago was speaking because he was the engineer for the Willow Heights project. In all honesty, it is difficult to get one's head around the fact because when you have X-hundred homes and X-number of people, it results in skepticism. He has been doing this for 30 years and when he says that with confidence and assurances it is because he knows from before and after studies that is usually what happens. Yes, there is congestion along Brea Canyon and trouble at Lycoming with the frontage road and everyone getting off it in that area. He again explained how the calculations are made and how mitigation measures are proposed to mitigate the additional traffic resulting from the project. If this project is built and the physical improvements are implemented, the conditions at Brea Canyon and Lycoming will improve. C/Mahlke said she noticed a correlation between peak parking times that seems to be different from what would be considered peak travel times. Mr. Barretto responded to C/Mahlke that there is always disconnect between parking studies and traffic studies. When conducting traffic studies, the objective Packet Pg. 327 7.1.f OCTOBER 30, 2019 PAGE 12 PLANNING COMMISSION is assessment of the impacts of the project during commute hours which is usually am and pm unless it is at the beach where there are midday peaks. From a parking standpoint, given the type of uses, one being medical office and hotel, one thinks about people coming to work in the morning but they do not all accumulate at 7:00 or 8:00 in the morning. People wander in and then visitors and patients start to wander in and somewhere between 10:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. that is the peak of the office and then it drops down because of lunchtime after which it ramps back up. The office component complements the hotel because when the office is asleep, that is generally when hotel guests are present and vice versa. That is why the shared parking study for these types of mixed uses — hotel and office, work really well and when looking at the peak of the combined uses they generally occur during the middle of the day. It is important that the property owner, tenants and tenant landlords be on the same page when it comes to mixed uses. Obviously, all employees should not be parking in front of the hotel because it does not bode well for guests, and property owners and tenant landlords have to manage this situation and give the employees a target of where they should be parking. The way the site lays out, it lends itself well for some of those employee spaces to be off on the triangle because that is closer to the front door of the offices and not in close proximity to the hotel and takes them away from the front door of the hotel. It is a snapshot of giving the City and applicant an idea of a good starting point and as users and tenants come in to play, they work toward the sweet spot that is good for all of the users. C/Mok said he appreciated the architect's flexibility in revising the plans to accommodate the residents on Lycoming and Dryander. Unfortunately, all of the trees adjacent to the flood channel will have to be removed and will be replaced with 222 new big box trees which is great. Looking at figures 16 and 17 on Page 99 it shows what the view would be like from the four story hotel to the residences on Lycoming and the three story office building to the residences on Dryander and he wanted to know when (how many years) the residents would realize the privacy the new trees would afford them. Mr. Deitos responded to C/Mok that what was specified is the 36" large box trees which are fairly thick in diameter and fairly good sized when installed. The growth rate he has observed is six months to a year that one notices significant growth toward maturity. It is unfortunate that those very large trees are within the easement and have to be removed, but the analysis shows that while two front yards are affected, there is currently a significant amount of landscaping in place that provides a visual barrier such as the mature Italian cypress that completely obscures the view of the houses. On the other side, what is being placed on the site are trees on the street side and for the resident living closer to the knuckle of the intersection, landscaping was installed, as well as fencing that exceeds 8 feet in height. As part of the design and the evolution, the site plan evolved and so did the building elevations. The proximity of the hotel and office building to the freeway, because of the proximity to the freeway, required acoustical study to Packet Pg. 328 7.1.f OCTOBER 30, 2019 PAGE 13 PLANNING COMMISSION determine noise levels for occupants. What was originally proposed for the office building was wider and taller windows. In the final design, the height of the windows had to be reduced and while the visual appearance of the windows is wider, there is a spandrel condition that had to be infilled because only so many square feet of glass was allocated to meet the acoustical demand. From the hotel, the layering of the parking lot trees also creates a barrier. Typically, hotel patrons will close themselves in and for the office, it is normal office hours with no one being there at night which would be the time residents would be in their homes. Chair/Barlas closed the public hearing. CDD/Gubman responded to speakers that 36" box Mondell Pine trees and Brisbane box trees are proposed for the channel. While 15 gallon trees tend to grow faster than larger tree after planted, the larger box size stock will go in place with a fuller canopy which will provide more immediate screening. Staff has consulted with the City's landscape architect to prescribe the types of trees and how to arrange them on the site to provide that screening effect and staff is confident that on opening day there will be significant screening. C/Mahlke said she felt it was also important to note that the trees that are currently at the site are not well -maintained whereas with new landscape, it will be maintained and will ultimately reach better growth potential/maturity. C/Mahlke said speakers comment about notifications, frequency and distance of mailings and she wants it on the record that this project is well within the timeframes and distances required. CDD/Gubman said that the noticing was within those timeframes and the City has actually gone beyond the minimum requirements. The City received a copy of the mailing information of those who attended the aforementioned community meetings, and they were notified as well. The public review period for the Mitigated Negative Declaration was 30 days and that notice was sent at the beginning of the 30 day period. In addition, alerts are sent out through the City's email system regarding notification of upcoming public hearings. Chair/Barlas said that being in commercial real estate she has seen a lot of improvements because of the traffic issues. The City of Diamond Bar has more restrictions than some other counties and she has full confidence that City staff will be on top of these kinds of projects because the City suffers from traffic issues that staff is working to improve through these kinds of projects. With respect to the hotel, if one is a Diamond Bar resident one has likely had to deal with a water issue at their home. She has gone through three and every time she tried to get a hotel room in Diamond Bar when her kids were young she was not able to do so. While Diamond Bar has traffic issues it should not stop development in the Packet Pg. 329 7.1.f OCTOBER 30, 2019 PAGE 14 PLANNING COMMISSION City and she has complete confidence in staff that the project will be properly implemented and that it will be good for the City. C/Mahlke said she appreciates the residents who spoke this evening. They have been heard and she believes a lot of their concerns have been addressed and mitigated. Knowing that at some point the area will be built out, she believes the reports the Commission has been given are thorough and thoughtful, and while staff cannot mitigate for bad drivers she believes that everything has been properly addressed. C/Mahlke moved, C/Rawlings seconded, that the Planning Commission recommend City Council approval of Brea Canyon Business Park, Planning Case No. PL2017-169.

Diamond Bar, California 91789 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction In response to the City of Diamond Bar Community Development Department's (Department) receipt of a development application from Lycoming, LLC (Applicant'), dated December 4, 2017, for a privately -proposed development project located on an approximately 5.73-acre2 property within the City of Diamond Bar (City or Lead Agency), this informational document, undertaken in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),3 the Guidelines for the Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (State CEQA Guidelines) ,4,5 and the City's statutory and regulatory obligations thereunder, identifies and describes the potential environmental effects associated with the approval or conditional approval of the proposed non-residential "Brea Canyon Business Park" (BCBP) multi -use project (31,988 gross square feet of general office space, 24,730 gross square feet of medical office space, and 61,743 gross square feet of hotel use) at 850 Brea Canyon Road (Diamond Bar, CA 91789), totaling approximately 118,471 gross square foot of new development,6 289 on -site parking spaces, 4 loading docks, and designated bicycle parking areas. The basic purposes of CEQA include: (1) informing governmental decisionmakers and the public about the potential, significant environmental effects of proposed activities; (2) identifying the ways that environmental damage can be avoided or significantly reduced; (3) preventing significant, avoidable damage to the environment by requiring changes in projects through the use of alternatives or mitigation measures when the governmental agency finds such changes to be feasible; (4) disclosing to the public the reasons why a governmental agency may approve a proposed project in the manner it so choses if significant effects are involved (Section 15002, State CEQA Guidelines). Referencing Section 15002(i) of the State CEQA Guidelines: "CEQA applies in situations where a governmental agency can use its judgment in deciding whether and how to carry out or approve a project. A project subject to such judgmental controls is called a `discretionary project."' As defined in Section 15357 therein: "'Discretionary project' means a project which requires the exercise of judgment or deliberation when the public agency or body decides to approve or disapprove a particular activity, as distinguished from situations where the public agency or body merely has to determine whether there has been conformity with applicable statutes, ordinances, or regulations." In contrast, where the law requires a governmental agency to act on a project in a set way without allowing the agency to use its own judgment, the project is called "ministerial" '/ All reference to the "Applicant" herein are intended to be inclusive of all subsequent holders of real property interests to the project site or portions thereof, including, but not limited to, successors, assignees, buyers, tenants, subtenants, leasees, and subleasees. 2/ Because the proposed project includes off -site street improvements extending beyond the limits of the project site, the actual project acreage exceeds the approximately 5.73 acres representing the extent of the Applicant's real property holdings relating thereto. Based on the absence of consensus as the precise manner of accounting for the off - site acreage associated with the proposed project (e.g., actual footprint of the physical street changes or the entirety of those rights -of -way so impacts and independent of any physical improvements thereto), that off -site acreage is described herein but the corresponding acreage is not numerically stated. 3/ As codified in Section 21000 et seq., Chapter 3, Division 13 of the California Public Resources Code. 4/ As codified in Title 14, Chapter 3, Section 15000 et seq. of the California Code of Regulations. 5/ Most recently updated and amended on December 28, 2018. 6/ By their nature, development projects are routinely subject to minor changes as architectural and engineering details progress. As a result, the proposed project's total square foot and that of each of the proposed buildings may be subject to minor variations, including di minimis increases or decreases in square footages and exterior dimensions. Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description September 2019 Initial Study Page 1-1 Packet Pg. 339 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project V--V&. 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAP and CEQA does not apply (Section 21080[b][1 ], CEQA; Sections 15002[i] and 15369, State CEQA Guidelines).' While projects can have both discretionary and ministerial components, the presence of discretionary actions relegates the totality of the proposed project to CEQA review. The proposed action also constitutes a "project"8 and a "private project"9 and can be generally described as a proposed, non-residential, mixed -use development, including a 4-story, 61,743 square foot, 109-room hotel (Hilton Hampton Inn & Suites), a 3-story, 47,828 square foot, general and medical office building, and a 1-story, 8,900 square foot, medical office building on a recently vacated site located to the north of the Pomona (SR-60) Freeway, south of Lycoming Street, and along the east side of Brea Canyon Road. The proposed project also includes a proposed street dedication, center -median improvements, and lane restriping along Brea Canyon Road between the Pomona (SR-60) Freeway on the south and inclusive of the 4-legs comprising the Brea Canyon Road/Lycoming Street intersection on the north. The project site formerly operated as a recreational vehicle and boat storage lot. The project site, illustrating that former use, is presented in Figure 1 (Proposed "Brea Canyon Road Business Park" Site - 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789). That former use has since ceased operation and all prior vestiges thereof have been removed from the project site. As presented by the Applicant, the proposed "Brea Canyon Business Park" is generally depicted in Figure 2 (Proposed "Brea Canyon Business Park" Project — Conceptual Site Plan). Although subject to further change and modification, the conceptual floor plans for the proposed project's three primary structures are presented in Figure 3 (Conceptual Floor Plan — Proposed 4-Story Hotel Building [Lot 3]), Figure 4 (Conceptual Floor Plan — Proposed 3-Story General and Medical Office Building [Lot 1]), and Figure 5 (Conceptual Floor Plan — Proposed 1-Story Medical Building [Lot 2]), respectively. The Applicant's proposed landscape plan is presented in Figure 6 (Proposed "Brea Canyon Business Park" Project — Conceptual Landscape Plan). Since interior walls are moveable, the focus of this CEQA analysis is less on issues relating to interior design and more on the potential environmental effects of the overall development plan and the potential environmental impacts that the proposed project and its individual components may have on the larger environmental setting in which the BPBP is proposed. Although subject to change and refinement, an architectural package detailing the proposed project is included herein as Appendix A (Brea Canyon Business Park — Conceptual Architectural Package [June 7, 2019]). Graphic illustrations include, but are not limited to, architectural renderings (Sheet T2), grading and drainage plans (Sheets C1 and C2), utility plans (Sheets 503), landscape and lighting plans (Sheets L-1 through L-10), site plans (Sheets A1.1 through A1.12), hotel floor plans '/ Under certain circumstances, ministerial actions can themselves become subject to CEQA compliance. In order to ensure full public disclosure, other discretionary and/or ministerial actions associated with the proposed project include, but may not be limited to, issuance of grading, building, and related permits and issuance of individual electrical, gas, water, and sewer connections. The environmental impacts of all discretionary and/or ministerial actions that may be associated with the proposed project have been considered herein and have been made a part of the project's environmental review record. $/ "'Project' means "an activity which may cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and which is any of the following: (a) An activity directly undertaken by any public agency. (b) An activity undertaken by a person which is supported, in whole or in part, through contracts, grants, subsidies, loans, or other forms of assistance from one or more public agencies. (c) An activity that involves the issuance to a person of a lease, permit, license, certificate, or other entitlement for use by one or more public agencies" (Section 21065, CEQA). 9/ "Private project" means "a project which will be carried out by a person other than a governmental agency, but the project will need a discretionary approval from one or more governmental agencies for: (a) A contract or financial assistance, or (b) A lease, permit, license, certificate, or other entitlement for use" (Section 15377, State CEQA Guidelines). September 2019 Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description Page 1-2 Initial Study Packet Pg. 340 7.1.g '-T., Brea Canyon Business Park Project DIAMONfl BAR 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 (Sheets A2.1 through A2.6), roof plans (Sheet A3.1), hotel building elevations (Sheets A4.1 and 4.1 C), medical building elevations (Sheets A4.2 and 4.2C), and medical office building elevations (Sheets A4.2, 4.2C, and A4.3C). In addition, conceptual landscape plans, including an arborist's tree report documenting existing mature trees located on the project site, are included in Appendix B (Brea Canyon Business Park — Conceptual Landscape Plans [July 12, 2019]). The Applicant has identified three distinct land uses that will comprise the proposed project, including "office," "medical office," and "hotel." With regards thereto, the "City of Diamond Bar Municipal Code" (Municipal Code or MC) offers the following general definitions and/or descriptions thereof. Hotel. As defined in Section 3.16.020 (Definitions) in Chapter 3.16 (Transient Occupancy Tax) in Title 3 (Revenue and Finance) of the Municipal Code, a "hotel" is defined as "any structure or any portion of any such structure, which is occupied or intended or designed for occupancy by transients for dwelling, lodging or sleeping purposes, and includes any hotel, inn, tourist home or house, motel, studio hotel, bachelor hotel, lodginghouse, roominghouse, apartment house, dormitory, public or private club, mobile home or house trailer at a fixed location, or other similar structure or portion thereof." Absent therefrom is either any express accommodations for or prohibition concerning the incorporation of "kitchen" and/or "kitchenette" facilities therein.10 Absent from that definition of "hotel" is an explicit limitation concerning maximum allowable length of stay (e.g., "transient lodging"). The allowable term of occupancy can, however, be construed from the definition of "transient" therein. As defined in Section 3.16.020 (Definition) in Chapter 3.16 (Transient Occupancy Tax) in Title 4 (Health and Safety) of the MC: Transient means any person who exercises occupancy or is entitled to occupancy by reason of concession, permit, right of access, license or other agreement for a period of 30 consecutive calendar days or less, counting portions of calendar days as full days. Any such person so occupying space in a hotel shall be deemed to be a transient until the period of 30 days has expired unless there is an agreement in writing between the operator and the occupant providing for a longer period of occupancy. In determining whether a person is a transient, uninterrupted periods of time extending both prior and subsequent to the effective date of Ordinance No. 14 (1989) may be considered. As further defined in Section 22.80.020 (Definitions of Specialized Terms and Phrases) in Title 22 (Development Code) "hotels" and "motels" include those "[f]acilities with guest rooms or suites, provided with or without kitchen facilities, rented to the general public for transient lodging (less than 30 days). Hotels provide access to most guest rooms from an interior walkway, and typically include a variety of services in addition to lodging; for example, restaurants, meeting facilities, personal services, etc. Motels provide access to most guest rooms from an exterior walkway. Also includes accessory guest facilities such as swimming pools, tennis courts, indoor athletic facilities, accessory retail uses, etc." Although the Municipal Code makes no distinction between those facilities, some or all of the guest rooms associated with the proposed hotel use will include "kitchens" and/or "kitchenettes."11 10/ As defined in Section 22.08.020 of the MC, a "kitchen or kitchenette" is defined as "[a]n area designed and/or used for the preparation of food, which includes any three of the following features: (1) Cooking or food heating equipment, including a hot plate, microwave, oven, or range; (2) A refrigerator or other device for cold storage; (3) Cabinets, shelves, or other facilities for storage of food and/or utensils; or (4) A sink and water supply." 11/ The "2016 California Building Standards Code" (2016 CBC), as codified in Part 2 in Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR) defines a "kitchen or kitchenette" as "[a] room, space or area with equipment for the Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description Initial Study September 2019 Page 1-3 Packet Pg. 341 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project -IV--V&. 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAP Although providing limited -term (less than 30 days) accommodations for its guests, "transient lodging" is distinguishable from a "residential" use within the City. As noted in Section 8.16.020 (Definitions) in Chapter 8.16 (Solid Waste and Recyclable Material Collection) in Title 8 (Health and Safety) of the MC: "Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, in the Diamond Bar Municipal Code, or otherwise, for purposes of this chapter, premises upon which the following uses are occurring shall not be deemed to be residential premises, and rather shall be deemed to be commercial premises: Assisted living facilities, convalescent homes, dormitories, extended stay motels, hotels, motels, and any other businesses not specifically listed at which residency is transient in nature and hence should be classified as commercial premises as determined by city on a case by case basis." As further noted in Section 8.12.1640 (Definitions) in Division 5 (Storm Water and Urban Runoff Pollution Control) in Title 8 (Health and Safety) of the MC: "Commercial development means any development on private land that is not heavy industrial or residential. The category includes, but is not limited to: hospitals, laboratories and other medical facilities, educational institutions, recreational facilities, plant nurseries, multi -apartment buildings, car wash facilities, mini -malls and other business complexes, shopping malls, hotels, office buildings, public warehouses and other light industrial complexes." As such, the proposed project can be appropriately categorized as a mixed -use commercial development project. Office. Excluding "temporary offices," the Municipal Code differentiates between "administrative/business," "production," and "professional" office types. Notwithstanding those distinctions presented in Chapter 22.80 (Definitions) in Title 22 (Development Code) of the MC, the term "general offices" has been used herein to encompass each of those office types. 0 Administrative/Business Offices. "Establishments providing direct services to consumers, including insurance agencies, real estate offices, post offices (not including bulk mailing distribution centers, which are included under `vehicle and freight terminals'). Does not include: Medical offices (see `medical services —clinics and laboratories'); or offices that are incidental and accessory to another business or sales activity that is the primary use. Incidental offices that are customarily accessory to another use are allowed as part of an approved primary use." 0 Production Offices. "Office -type facilities occupied by businesses engaged in the production of intellectual property. These uses include: [1] Advertising agencies; [2] Architectural, engineering, planning and surveying services; [3] Computer software production and programming services; [4] Educational, scientific and research organizations; [5] Media postproduction services; [6] Photography and commercial art studios; [and] [7] Writers and artists offices. Does not include: Medical offices (see `medical services —clinics and laboratories') or offices that are incidental and accessory to another business or sales activity that is the primary use. Incidental offices that are customarily accessory to another use are allowed as part of an approved primary use." 0 Professional Offices. "Professional or government offices including: [1] Accounting, auditing and bookkeeping services; [2] Attorneys; [3] Counseling services; [4] Court reporting services; [5] Data processing services; [6] Detective agencies and similar services; [7] Employment, stenographic, secretarial and word processing services; [8] Government offices; [9] Literary and talent agencies; [and] [10] Management and public preparation of food." That definition appears so broad as to define any space that includes a sink, a microwave oven, and a refrigerator as constituting a "kitchen or kitchenette." September 2019 Page 1-4 Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description Initial Study Packet Pg. 342 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project DIAMOND BAR 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 relations services. Does not include: Medical offices (see 'medical services —clinics and laboratories') or offices that are incidental and accessory to another business or sales activity that is the primary use. Incidental offices that are customarily accessory to another use are allowed as part of an approved primary use." Medical Office. While the term "medical office" is not expressly defined therein, the term is distinguished from other types of "offices" and directly associated with the provision of "medical services." As defined in Section 22.80.020 (Definitions of Specialized Terms and Phrases) in Article VI (Development Code Definitions) in Title 22 (Development Code) of the MC, "medical services — clinics and laboratories" are defined as "[f]acilities primarily engaged in furnishing outpatient medical, mental health, surgical and other personal health services, but which are separate from hospitals, including: [1] Health management organizations (HMOs); [2] Medical and dental laboratories; [3] Medical, dental and psychiatric offices; [4] Out -patient care facilities; [5] Other allied health services; [and] [6] Counseling services by other than medical doctors or psychiatrists are included under 'offices."' Within the broad meaning of Section 8.12.340 (Definitions) in Division 3 (Noise Control) in Title 8 (Health and Safety) of the MC, a "medical office" may constitute a "health care institution," defined as "any hospital, convalescent home, or other similar facilities which provide health care, medical treatment, room, board or other services for the ill, retarded or convalescent." Not all "health care institutions" are, however, "medical offices." For identification and property tax purposes, all real property within the County has been assigned an "assessor's parcel number" (APN) by the Los Angeles County Assessor's Office, designed by book, page, and parcel in which that parcel is recorded. As illustrated in Figure 7 (Proposed "Brea Canyon Road Business Park" Project Site - Assessor's Parcel Map), the subject property has been assigned APN 8719-13-17 (Book 8719, Page 13, Parcel 17). As proposed, project approval would require a number of discretionary actions from the City. Those discretionary approvals include but may not be limited to: General Plan Amendment (GPA). Based on the land -use plans and policies contained in the "City of Diamond Bar General Plan," as initially adopted on July 25, 1995 and subsequently amended on September 3, 2013 ("Land Use Element Update") and January 21, 2014 ("2013-2021 Housing Element Update") (1995/2013/2014 General Plan), as depicted in Figure 8 (Portion of the City of Diamond Bar Land -Use Policy and Zoning Maps), the Applicant seeks to amend the "Land Use Map" so as to redesignate the approximately 5.73-acre project site from "Professional Office (OP)" to "General Commercial (C)." Both of those land -use designations are described below: 0 Professional Office (OP). As indicated in the "Land Use Element" of the 1995/2013/2014 General Plan, "Professional Office" (OP) areas "provide for the establishment of office -based working environments for general, professional, and administrative offices, as well as support uses. Development within Professional Office areas will maintain an FAR [floor -area -ratio] between 0.25 and 1.00" (Land Use Element, Strategy 1.1.3[d]). 0 General Commercial (C). As further indicated in the "Land Use Element" of the 1995/2013/2014 General Plan, "General Commercial (C)" areas "to provide for regional, freeway -oriented, and/or community retail and service commercial uses. Development of General Commercial areas will maintain a floor area ratio (FAR) between 0.25 and 1.00" (Land Use Element, Strategy 1.1.3[b]). Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description Initial Study September 2019 Page 1-5 Packet Pg. 343 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project V--V&. 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAP In the context of the "Sustainable Groundwater Management Act" (SGMA), the proposed GPA is not deemed to be a "substantial amendment" to the 1993/2013/2013 General Plan (Sections 65350.5, 65352[a], and 65352.5[c] and [d], California Government Code [CGC]). Zone Change (ZC). In accordance with Section 22.06.020 (Zoning Districts Established) in Chapter 22.06 (Establishment of Zoning Districts, Adoption of Zoning Map) in Title 22 (Development Code) of the "City of Diamond Bar Municipal Code" (Municipal Code or MC), the City is divided into zoning districts which serve to implement the general plan. Those zoning districts are shown on the "Official Zoning Map" (Section 22.06.030, Municipal Code). As further specified in Section 22.70.050 in Chapter 22.10 (General Plan, Development Code, and Zoning Map Amendments) in Title 22 (Development Code) of the Municipal Code, the City of Diamond Bar City Council (Council) shall adopt an amendment to the general plan, development code, or the zoning map only if it finds that the proposed amendment is internally consistent with the general plan and other adopted goals and policies of the City. The applicable portion of the City's zoning map relating to the general project area is shown in Figure 8 (Portion of the City of Diamond Bar Land -Use Policy and Zoning Maps). Based on the project site's existing zoning designation, the Applicant seeks to amend the "Official Zoning Map" so as to redesignate the approximately 5.73-acre project site from "Light Industry (1)" to "Regional Commercial -Planning Development Overlay (C-3-PD)." Both of those zoning designations are described below. 0 Light Industrial (1). As described in Section 22.10.020 (Purpose of Commercial/ Industrial Zoning Districts) in Title 22 (Development Code) of the MC, with regard to the "Light Industry (1)" zoning district, this district "is applied to areas appropriate for light industrial/manufacturing uses including research and development, office -based industrial uses in an `industrial park' setting, business support services, and commercial uses requiring larger sites than are available in the commercial zoning districts. The allowable floor area ratio for nonresidential development shall be from 0.25 to 1.00. The I zoning district is consistent with the Light Industrial land use category of the [1995/2013/20141 General Plan and intended to accommodate the need for emergency shelter and single -room occupancy housing identified in the city's housing element." 0 Regional Commercial (C-3). As described in Section 22.10.020 (Purpose of Commercial/Industrial Zoning Districts) in Chapter 22.10 (Commercial/Industrial Districts) in Title 22 (Development Code) of the MC, with regard to the "Regional Commercial (C-3)" zoning district, this district "applied to areas appropriate for large- scale commercial uses serving residents and businesses within the region. The allowable floor area ratio for nonresidential development shall be from 0.25 to 1.00. The C-3 zoning district is consistent with the [1995/2013/2014] General Commercial land use category of the [1995/2013/2014] General Plan." In accordance with the site's existing "Light Industrial (1)" zoning designation, a different set of land uses could be developed thereupon than what would otherwise be allowable under the proposed "Regional Commercial (C-3)" designation. Because this CEQA process has been initiated in response to a formal development application submitted by the Applicant and is not a part of a larger planning analysis, the Department's role is reactive rather than proactive. It is, therefore, not within the City's regulatory function to speculate as to the nature of development that might otherwise occur under the provisions of the existing "Light Industrial (1)" zone nor to present the comparable impacts of development under the proposed "Regional Commercial (C-3)" zone.

"Overlay districts" constitute a zoning tool available to land -use entities to control and regulate the use of real property within their jurisdiction. By imposed additional regulations on the underlying zoning, an "overlay zone" generally seeks to provide additional protections, impose additional restrictions, or convey additional benefits relative to the issue which is the subject of that overlay. Overlays are common in floodplains, hillside areas, near fault lines, around airports, and in other areas where additional regulations may be needed to ensure the public safety. Overlay zones can also be used to stimulate new development by reducing development requirements (e.g., parking standards, building height, and setbacks) to support new construction, such as might occur near transit facilities. With regards to the overlay's imposition, the public agency should articulate the agency's intent and the overlay's purpose, identify the geographic area so affected, and establish the specific rules applicable to and/or conditions associated with the district's application. Within the City, pursuant to Section 22.14.30 (Planned Development [PD] Overlay District) in Chapter 22.14 (Overlay Zoning Districts) in Title 22 (Development Code) of the MC: (a) Purpose Consistent with the [1995/2013/2014] General Plan vision statement, the PD overlay zoning district provides for maximum flexibility in the site planning and design of residential, commercial, industrial/manufacturing and mixed use projects to encourage superior land use by means such as open space and public amenities. The PD overlay district may be applied to areas where site characteristics and environmental resources, adjacent land uses, or other community conditions may be benefited by site -specific planning or the design of structures that would not otherwise be allowed in the primary zoning district. (b) Applicability. The PD overlay zoning district may be combined with any residential, commercial/industrial, or special purpose zoning district established by Section 22.06.020 (Zoning Districts Established). (c) Allowed land uses. Any land use normally allowed in the primary zoning district may be allowed within the PD overlay zoning district, except when the ordinance rezoning a site to the PD overlay includes specific limitations on allowable land uses. (d) Permit requirements. Conditional use permit approval (Chapter 22.58) shall be required for all development proposed on a site subject to the PD overlay district. Changes of use in existing structures shall be subject to the land use permit requirements established by the primary zoning district. (e) Development standards. Approval of a conditional use permit within the PD overlay zoning district may include specific modifications to any of the City's development standards normally required by this article or Article III (Site Planning and General Development Standards) including: Minimum lot area, setbacks, site coverage, floor area ratio, height limits, landscaping, or off-street parking. Proposed development and new land uses within the PD overlay shall comply with all other applicable provisions of this Development Code. Because the "Planned Development (PD) Overlay District" requires the concurrent processing of a "conditional use permit," functioning as a zoning tool, it appears the Council's intent to utilize the overlay district as a mean of imposing reasonable and appropriate conditions thereupon relative the provision of "maximum flexibility in the site planning and design" allowable thereunder. At a minimum, the "Planned Development (PD) Overlay District" would need to incorporate site -specific deviations from the City's maximum allowable building Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description Initial Study September 2019 Page 1-7 Packet Pg. 345 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project V--V&. 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAP height standards (Section 22.10.040, MC), parking requirements (Section 22.30.040, MC), and parking design standards (Section 22.30.070, MC). "Findings are required in actions to review quasi-judicial activities of administrative agencies pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.5 (administrative mandamus). The zoning of real property by a city, however, is a legislative function, not a quasi-judicial activity, and is therefore reviewable by ordinary, or so-called traditional, mandamus pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1085. As to these legislative functions of an administrative agency, findings are not required" (Ensign Bickford Realty Corporation v. City Council [1977]). Tentative Parcel Map No. 82066. As indicated in Section 21.03.020 (Types of Subdivision Approval Required) in Chapter 21.03 (Subdivision Map Approval Requirements) in Title 21 (Subdivisions) of the Municipal Code: "Any subdivision of an existing parcel into two or more parcels shall require approval by the City in compliance with the provisions of this title except as otherwise provided in this chapter. In general, the procedure for subdivision first requires the approval of a tentative map, and then the approval of a parcel map or final map to complete the subdivision process. The tentative map review process is used to evaluate the compliance of the proposed subdivision with the standards of this title, and the appropriateness of the proposed subdivision design. Parcel and final maps are precise engineering documents that detail the location and dimensions of all parcel boundaries in an approved subdivision and, after approval, are recorded in the office of the County Recorder." Approval or conditional approval of tentative subdivision maps constitute discretionary actions subject to CEQA; however, final subdivision maps constitute ministerial actions and are, therefore, exempt therefrom. Subdivisions in California are regulated under the Subdivision Map Act (Sections 66410 et seq., California Government Code) (SMA) and the Subdivision Lands Act (Sections 11000- 11200, California Business and Professions Code) (SLA). The SMA governs the legal and physical requirements of subdividing real property and the process by which cities and counties may approve subdivisions in their jurisdictions. The SLA governs the process by which property, once it has been subdivided, may be initially marketed and sold to members of the public. The two categories of subdivisions under the SLA are "standard subdivisions" and "common interest developments" (CIDs). A standard subdivision is one that results in entirely divided interests (i.e., the owner of the subdivided interest owns the entire interest exclusively with no common ownership of anything associated with it). A common interest development is one that results in all or part of the project being an undivided interest (i.e., two or more owners holding a single ownership interest). Both forms of subdivisions are associated with the proposed project. Initially, through the processing of a tentative parcel map (TPM), as a standard subdivision, the Applicant seeks to subdivide the approximately 5.73-acre site into four separate lots, consisting of the three proposed building sites each of which could be separately owned and a 200,161 square foot, commonly -owned lot which would serve as a common -access easement and contain the project's common parking areas, common landscaping, the internal access, utility systems, and trash receptacles. As proposed, the three building lots would include: (1) 17,237 net square feet, include a 47,828 square -foot general office and medical office building (Lot 1, TPM 82066); (2) 9,542 net square feet, including an 8,900 square -foot medical office building (Lot 2, TPM 82066); and (3) 21,982 square feet, including a 61,743 net square -foot, 109-room hotel (Lot 3, TPM No. 82066). September 2019 Page 1-8 Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description Initial Study Packet Pg. 346 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project DIAMONfl BAR 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 As a common interest development, a non-residential condominium map would concurrently be processed authorizing: (1) Lot 1 (47,828 square -foot general office and medical office building), including the three -dimension air space therein, to be further subdivided into 34 office condominiums; and (2) Lot 2 (8,900 square -foot medical office building) to be subdivided into two office condominiums. The proposed tentative parcel map is illustrated in Figure 9 (Proposed "Brea Canyon Business Park" Project - Tentative Parcel Map No. 82066 [July 12, 2019]). Because interior walls can be easily modified and individual office condominium units can be combined, the Applicant's proposed tentative office condominium map layout has not been included herein. That tentative office condominium map, in combination with additional documentation associated with the proposed project, is available for review at the Department (21810 Copley Drive, Diamond Bar 91765) during the Department's regular business hours. As defined in Section 783 of the California Civil Code (CCC), "condominiums" are estates in real property consisting of a separate interest in a "unit," as shown on the "condominium plan" (as recorded in the Official Records of the County) which is not owned in common with other owners of condominiums in the project and an undivided interest in a "common area" and other rights appurtenant to the unit, as set forth in a recorded "declaration of covenants, conditions, and restricts" (CC&Rs). The proposed project will be governed by a non-profit "business -owners' association/ condominium association" (Business Owners' Association [BOA]) or similar entity comprised of all owners of interest thereupon and subject to that BOA's recorded CC&Rs. As a recommended mitigation measure (Mitigation Measure-1), prior to the approval of any final subdivision map or issuance of building permits, the BOA's proposed CC&Rs shall be subject to review and approval by the City Attorney. At a minimum, those CC&Rs shall: (1) contain provisions for the creation and operation of the BOA; (2) provide that the BOA shall be responsible for the maintenance of all common areas, including, but not necessarily limited to, landscaping, parking areas, and drive aisles; (3) include provisions that the title to the common areas is to be held by the BOA for and on behalf of all owners of interest; and (4) the manner of enforcement thereof. Any changes thereto shall be prohibited except through the approval of the City. Condominiums in California are deemed "subdivisions" and must comply with the statutory requirements imposed upon developers of subdivided lands (Section 11004.5, California Business and Professional Code [BPC]). The developer must file with the Commissioner of Real Estate (Commissioner) notice of intent to sell or lease the property (Section 11010, BPC). Following the submittal of that application, the Commissioner investigates the subdivision proposal and either accepts or rejects it. (Section 11018, BPC). If the developer does not fulfill the representations contained in the application, the Commissioner may order the developer to discontinue the complained practice or cease selling or leasing the subdivided property (Section 11019, BPC). Pursuant to Section 66427(e) of the CGC: If the governing body has approved a parcel map or final map for the establishment of condominiums on property pursuant to the requirements of this division, the separation of a three-dimensional portion or portions of the property from the remainder of the property or the division of that three-dimensional portion or portions into condominiums shall not constitute a further subdivision as defined in Section 66424, provided each of the following conditions has been satisfied: (1) Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description Initial Study September 2019 Page 1-9 Packet Pg. 347 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project V--V&. 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAP The total number of condominiums established is not increased above the number authorized by the local agency in approving the parcel map or final map. (2) A perpetual estate or an estate for years in the remainder of the property is held by the condominium owners in undivided interests in common, or by an association as defined in Section 4100 or 6528 of the Civil Code, and the duration of the estate in the remainder of the property is the same as the duration of the estate in the condominiums. (3) The three-dimensional portion or portions of property are described on a condominium plan or plans, as defined in Section 4120 or 6540 of the Civil Code. In addition, a 72-inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe (RCP), transitioning to two 54-inch diameter RCP pipes, located within an existing Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD) easement traverses the project site along a generally north -south alignment, discharging to the existing northwesterly -to -southeasterly trending, concrete -lined, open County flood control channel (PD 1445) (Diamond Bar Creek), located within a 50-foot-wide easement, adjacent to and north of the project site (APN 8719-013-901). As illustrated in Figure 10 (Los Angeles County Flood Control District — Existing Storm Drain System), to the northwest, PD 1445 enters an underground pipe as it crosses beneath Brea Canyon Road. West of Brea Canyon Road, PD 1445 again becomes an open channel before again transitioning to an underground pipeline before discharging to San Jose Creek, south of Valley Boulevard.12 In part, the existing single 72-inch diameter and two 54-inch diameter RCPs underlay the area presently proposed as the hotel site. Storm drain connections to and/or construction activities encroaching into a LACFCD easement require a County permit. Issuance of a storm drain connection permit, including a water quality agreement, from the LACFCD constitutes a ministerial action and is not subject to CEQA. Based on proposed building placement, however, a portion of the existing 72-inch diameter RCP and its associated easement would need to be vacated, the improvements located therein removed, a new realignment established and recorded, and replacement drainage facilities, consisting of two 54-inch diameter RCPs, constructed and conveyed to the LACFCD. A construction permit and other associated entitlements, including acceptance and recordation of the new alignment and approval of the proposed improvement plans for the relocated drainage facilities, will be required from the LACFCD to allow development to proceed within the existing LACFCD right-of-way. Prior to the issuance of a grading permit by the City, the Applicant shall deliver to the City Engineer documentation evidencing the Applicant's receipt of any and all permits and approvals as may be required by or from the County with regards to that encroachment, realignment, and modification, including a comprehensive listing of any and all permit conditions, mitigation measures, and other exactions that may be associated therewith or established therein. All such conditions, mitigation measures, and other exactions shall be binding on the proposed project and the Applicant's compliance therewith shall be documented, to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, prior to the issuance of any occupancy permits for any uses proposed on the project site (Mitigation Measure-2). Other existing easements currently encumbering the project site will need to be retained or otherwise altered to accommodate the proposed development plan. New, updated, and/or altered utility and other easements, including those associated with fire protection systems, may also be established thereupon for the placement, operation, and maintenance of those 12/ San Jose Creek is a tributary to the San Gabriel River. The project site is located within the Upper San Jose Creek Watershed (180701060501), a component of the Upper San Gabriel River Watershed.

In accordance with the provisions of non-exclusive common easement agreements, the subdivision of the project site shall not reduce the responsibility of each "owner," "tenant," and/or "occupant" from adequately and effectively maintaining all on -site fire and other life- line systems, including, but not limited to, all common adjoining fire sprinkler -piping penetrations and all on -site fire mains and private hydrants. Approval of tentative maps is subject to specified MC -specified "findings" (Section 21.20.080, MC). In addition, pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act (Section 66410 et. seq., CGC): "No local agency shall approve a tentative map, or a parcel map for which a tentative map was not required, unless the legislative body finds that the proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the general plan" (Section 66473.5, CGC). Section 66474 of the CGC further provides: "A legislative body of a city or county shall deny approval of a tentative map, or a parcel map for which a tentative map was not required, if it makes any of the following findings: (a) That the proposed map is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans as specified in Section 65451. (b) That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans. (c) That the site is not physically suitable for the type of development. (d) That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development. (e) That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. (f) That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements is likely to cause serious public health problems." With regards to the proposed subdivision, it is noted that the specific "findings" required under the Subdivision Map Act are separate and distinct from the "findings" required under CEQA. Although expressly relates to an "environmental impact report" (EIR) and not specifically to either a "negative declaration" (ND) or "mitigated negative declaration" (MND) as alternative procedural paths under CEQA, the California Supreme Court has held, "while the environmental impact report is to include a general assessment of effects of the proposal on private property and the quality of life in the vicinity of the project, it does not necessarily focus on the individual concerns of particular landowners who may be directly affected. There is provision for an ultimate administrative appeal to the board from environmental decisions, but the scope of the appeal is limited to the adequacy of the EIR or negative declaration. The general feasibility and desirability of the project are expressly excluded from consideration" (Horn v. County of Ventura, 1979). Conditional Use Permit. A California court held that "[a] conditional use may be permitted if it is shown that its use is essential or desirable to the public convenience or welfare and at the same time that it will not impair the integrity and character of the zoned district. It must also be shown that it is not detrimental to public health, public morals, or public welfare" (Tustin Heights Association v. Board of Supervisors [1959]). Similarly, in Hawkins v. County of Marin (1974), a California appellate court noted that "it is a widely accepted rule that the issuance of a conditional use permit does not amount to a zoning change, and hence need not be effected in compliance with rezoning procedures ... While the zoning administrator's decision to grant such a permit must be guided by established criteria (Gov. Code, § 65901), a general welfare standard ... is sufficient." As specified in Section 65901(a) of the CGC: "The board of zoning adjustment or zoning administrator shall hear and decide applications for conditional uses or other permits when Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description Initial Study September 2019 Page 1-11 Packet Pg. 349 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project V--V&. 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAP the zoning ordinance provides therefor and establishes criteria for determining those matters, and applications for variances from the terms of the zoning ordinance. The board of zoning adjustment or the zoning administrator may also exercise any other powers granted by local ordinance, and may adopt all rules and procedures necessary or convenient for the conduct of the board's or administrator's business." A CUP is an exception to the zoning ordinance for a use that is not generally allowed in the zone but that will promote the general welfare without impairing the character of the district (Upton v. Gray [19691). The degree of departure allowable from the generally "permitted" uses through a CUP depends on the local ordinance that prescribes the criteria to be met before a permit can be issued. Pursuant to Section 22.14.30 (Planned Development [PD] Overlay District), Subsection "(d)" (Permit Requirements) in Chapter 22.14 (Overlay Zoning Districts) in Title 22 (Development Code): "Conditional use permit approval (Chapter 22.58) shall be required for all development proposed on a site subject to the PD overlay district." Chapter 22.14 (Overlay Zoning Districts) does not explicitly identify the criteria upon which the "Planned Development (PD) Overlay District" shall be granted. Within individual zoning districts, if not prohibited, certain uses are "permitted" by right while other uses may be allowable, subject to specific City -imposed conditions. Zoning policies addressing the issuance of "conditional use permits" (CUPS) and "minor conditional use permits" (MCUPs) are outlined in Chapter 22.58 (Conditional Use Permits) and Chapter 22.56 (Minor Conditional Use Permits), respectively. Neither chapter explicitly identify the criteria upon which a CUP and/or MCUP shall be granted. Section 22.58.040 (Finding and Decision) in Chapter 22.58 (Conditional Use Permit) does, however, note: Following a public hearing, the [Planning] Commission shall record the decision in writing with the findings on which the decision is based. The conditional use permit application shall not be approved, with or without conditions, unless all of the following findings can be made: (1) The proposed use is allowed within the subject zoning district with the approval of a conditional use permit and complies with all other applicable provisions of this Development Code and the Municipal Code; (2) The proposed use is consistent with the general plan and any applicable specific plan; (3) The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed use are compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity; (4) The subject site is physically suitable for the type and density/intensity of use being proposed including access, provision of utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and the absence of physical constraints; (5) Granting the conditional use permit will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity and zoning district in which the property is located; and (6) The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). "Medical services — clinics and laboratories" are identified as "permitted" uses within the "Commercial Office" (CO) district and are, therefore, not subject to the issuance of a CUP. Under the provisions of the "Planned Development (PD) Overlay District," a CUP is nonetheless required. With regards thereto, neither building height nor the number and size of requisite off-street parking comply with the corresponding provisions of the MC. The City's existing general development standards for the "Regional Commercial (C-3)" and "Light Industry (1)" zoning districts are outlined in Table 2-7 (Commercial/Industrial General Development Standards), as referenced in Section 22.10.040 (Commercial/Industrial District September 2019 Page 1-12 Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description Initial Study Packet Pg. 350 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project DIAMOND BAR 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 General Development Standards) of the MC, and presented below.

The applicable portion of that table, including the proposed unit -based description of the proposed project and the corresponding parking requirements associated therewith are presented below. As noted, while the left portion of Table 3-10 (Parking Requirements by Land Use and Use Type) reflects the requirements of the MC, for the purpose of applying those standards to the proposed project, that table has been supplemented to illustrate the corresponding MC -imposed minimum parking requirements with regards to the Applicant - identified land -use mix. The projected off-street parking inventory of 289 parking spaces is less than the Municipal Code's minimum parking requirements based on the assumed land -use mix and square footage assumptions. As a result, subject to City approval, the proposed project includes the consideration of the following discretionary actions: (1) under the provision of the proposed "Planned Development (PD) Overlay District," through the issuance of an accompanying Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description Initial Study September 2019 Page 1-13 Packet Pg. 351 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project V--V&. 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAP CUP, project -specific parking standards not exceeding the number of proposed parking spaces could be established; and/or (2) a "shared parking permit" could be approved.

Similarly, excluding project -specific drainage improvements, no physical access or other form of encroachment into the area of the County's existing flood control channel (PD 1445) (Diamond Bar Creek) is planned or proposed. With regards to perpendicular (90-degree angle) parking, the City has adopted "minimum parking stall and lot dimensions," depicted as 9-feet wide and 19-feet long (Table 3-12, Section 22.30.070[4][b], MC), allowing for a "two -foot bumper overhang while maintaining the required parking dimensions" (Section 22.30.070[8][e], MC), for "standard" stalls but has neither adopted "compact" or "subcompact" dimensional standards nor specified a maximum percent of all required parking that could be so provided. With regards to commercial projects in unincorporated Los Angeles County, as noted in the "Los Angeles County Guidelines for Designing a Commercial Project,"13 the parking design standard for "standard spaces" is 81/2-feet wide by 18-feet long (specifying a minimum aisle width of 26 feet). Additionally, the parking design standard for "compact spaces (maximum 40%)" is 8-feet wide by 15-feet long (specifying a minimum aisle width of 23 feet ["must be all compact"]). If deemed relevant and if similar standards were subsequently established through permit conditions, the proposed project would be in compliance with those standards. With limited exception (e.g., reckless driving and handicapped parking), most California Vehicle Code (CVC) provisions are unenforceable on commercial property. Even if the State established standards for the mandatory or allowable incorporation of "compact parking stalls" in commercial projects, any prohibitions concerning the parking of standard -sized or larger vehicles within those spaces would appear unenforceable. As proposed, of the 289 parking spaces to be provided on the project site, a total of 53 parking spaces (18.3 percent of the proposed parking inventory) will be only 8-feet wide by 16-feet long, which, even accounting for an allowable "two -foot bumper overhang," are smaller than the dimensional standards authorized in the Municipal Code. Those spaces, proposed as "employee parking," are configured on the project site in a variety of 1I/ Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning, Los Angeles County Guidelines for Designing a Commercial Project, undated (http://planning.lacounty.gov/guidelines/commerical).

If parking stall widths were increased to 9-feet wide, those spaces would accommodate, 2, 4, 8, 34, and 39 spaces, respectively (resulting in a potential reduction of a total of 13 on - site parking spaces). Because they occur throughout the site and remain undedicated, the Applicant, the BOA, or such other representative management entity created thereupon would appear to have limit ability to monitor and enforce any such "employee parking" requirements or provisions ("It is noted that these [employee parking] spaces will be open for customers").14 The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials' (AASHTO) "A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets," commonly referred to as the "Green Book," is used nationally as the primary source (or one of the primary sources) of guidance relative to safe street standards. The Green Book has identified and described a wide range of vehicle types, providing design vehicle dimensions and turning radii for 19 design vehicles, including "passenger cars" and 8 truck types. While offering guidance, the Green Book does not specify which design vehicle should be selected for the design of any specific highway project, deferring that decision to local highway officials. Although many automobiles and small trucks may have lesser dimensions, AASHTO's specified dimensions for the two vehicle types commonly seen in commercial and office parking lots is presented below. The dimensions provided relate only to vehicle width and are not intended to constitute recommendations for the width of associated parking. Additionally, the radius of door swings and the added width required for both the driver and passengers to physically enter and exit the vehicle is not accounted for therein.

While no such parking areas are mandated under the provisions of the MC, excluding specified loading docks, no provisions for truck parking are provided on the project site, either on a temporary basis (e.g., Federal Express and UPS delivery trucks) or relative to use by overnight hotel guests). Similarly, notwithstanding the assumed presence of 24,730 square feet (15,943 + 8,900 = 24,843) of medical office use, no temporary "patient drop-off" or "patient pick-up" areas are provided. With the possible exception of the area associated with the "porte cochere," no short-term "hotel check -in" or "guest pickup" parking areas are identified on the proposed site plan. Excluding curbside areas accommodating parallel parking, as indicated in the Institute of Transportation Engineer's (ITE) "Traffic Engineering Handbook": "The minimum practical stall width varies principally with turnover, experience of the parker, and vehicle size. Commercial parking attendants can park large cars in stalls less than 2.4 meters (8.0 feet) wide. With self -parking, stall widths that will accommodate most passenger cars, vans, and 14/ Linscott Law & Greenspan, Revised Parking Demand Analysis for Brea Canyon Business Park, Diamond Bar, California, January 25, 2019, p. 10. Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description Initial Study September 2019 Page 1-15 Packet Pg. 353 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project V--V&. 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAP light trucks range between 2.5 meters and 2.7 meters (8.3 feet and 8.8 feet), depending on anticipated parking activity.1115 Based on the proficiency or lack thereof by individual drivers, the incorporation of compact parking (in lieu of standard -sized spaces) can effectively result in a lowering of total off-street parking inventory. Because the dimensions of those "employee parking" spaces is less than the MC's minimum parking standard, unless otherwise increased to conform to City standards (Section 22.20.070, MC), acceptance of that diminished standard will require that the "Planned Development (PD) Overlay District," through the issuance of a CUP for a classification of automobiles not previously recognized in the Municipal Code, would need to establish site - specific dimensional parking standards which will continue to "run with the land"16 notwithstanding future changes in ownership and initial occupy. Independent of the entitlements through which they may be established, it has been assumed that the parking spaces to be provided on the project site shall be "unassigned" and shall be made available for the common use of all "owners," "tenants," and "occupants," inclusive of their customer, guests, and invitees, and shall be used exclusively for the parking of permitted vehicles only and not for the permanent parking or storage of boats, trailers, or non -mobile vehicles and/or unlicensed equipment of any description. The use of those parking spaces subject thereto shall be governed by the provisions of a recorded "reciprocal parking agreement" and by the recorded CC&Rs. Excluding the provision of handicapped parking which would remain enforceable under the provisions of the CVC, self-imposed provisions relative to the intended use of either employee parking or parking intended as electrical vehicle (EV) charging stations would not appear enforceable. Subject to specific provisions and limitations, when appropriately notices, the BOA may cause the removal of vehicles wrongly parked on the subject property (Section 22658, CVC). As specified in Section 22.30.070(2) of the MC: "Applicants for nonresidential developments are encouraged to provide shared vehicle and pedestrian access to adjacent nonresidential properties to provide for convenience, safety, and efficient circulation. A joint access agreement running with the land shall be recorded by the owners of the abutting properties, as approved by the director, guaranteeing the continued availability of the shared access between the properties." Development Review. Pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 22.48 (Development Review) in Article IV (Land Use Development Permits Procedures) in Title 22 (Development Code), the project's proposed development plans are subject to the City's development review process. As specified in Section 22.48.010 (Purpose) therein: "The purpose of this chapter is to establish the consistency of new development with the general plan through the promotion of high aesthetic and functional standards to complement and add to the economic, physical, and social character of the City. [1995/2013/2014] General Plan Objective 3.2 states, `Ensure that new development and intensification of existing development yields a pleasant living, working, or shopping environment and attracts the 15/ Alroth, William A., Chapter 14 (Parking and Terminals) in Pline, James L.

The conditional use permit that is valid and in effect, and was granted in compliance with the provisions of this chapter, shall run with the land and continue to be valid upon a change of ownership of the land or any lawfully existing structure on the land."

Approval of development review is subject to specified "findings" (Section 22.48.040, MC). Comprehensive Sign Program. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 22.36.050 (Sign Permit) in Chapter 22.36 (Sign Standards) in Title 22 (Development Code) of the Municipal Code, unless otherwise exempt, to ensure compliance with the regulations of that chapter, a sign permit shall be required in order to erect, move, alter, or reconstruct any permanent or temporary sign. As further specified in Section 22.36.060 (Comprehensive Site Program) therein, a "comprehensive sign program" is required whenever: (1) new multi -tenant developments of three or more separate tenants that share either the same parcel or structure and use common access and parking facilities; (2) five or more signs are proposed for a new or existing development; (3) wall signs are proposed on structures over two stories in height; (4) two or more signs are requested by a single tenant in an existing multi -tenant project that currently is not covered by a comprehensive sign program; and (5) the Community Development Director determines that a comprehensive sign program should be developed for a project due to special circumstances. Because a number of those provisions are satisfied, the need for the preparation of a "comprehensive sign program" has been identified. Approval thereof is subject to specified "findings" (Section 22.36.060[e], MC). Shared -Parking Permit. As specified in Section 22.30.050 (Reduction of Off -Street Parking Required for Shared Parking) in Chapter 22.30 (Off -Street Parking and Loading Standards) in Title 22 (Development Code) of the Municipal Code: "Where two or more nonresidential uses are developed as a recognized shopping or professional center and two or more uses have distinct and differing peak parking usage periods, (e.g. a theater and a bank), a reduction in the required number of parking spaces may be allowed through the approval of a parking permit, provided that the most remote space is located within 300 feet of the use it is intended to serve (as measured along the most direct pedestrian path). The amount of reduction may be up to the amount of spaces required for the least intensive of the two or more uses sharing the parking. A shared parking analysis may be required by the director to support a request for a parking reduction. Reductions in parking in exchange for transportation demand management programs shall be considered for projects subject to the requirements of Section 22.40.030 (Transportation Demand Management Program Requirements)." Unless otherwise accounted for and approved through the establishment of a "Planned Development (PD) Overlay District," based on information provided by the Applicant, the Applicant seeks the City's approval of a "shared parking permit" authorization a reduction in the number of off-street parking spaces otherwise required for each of the proposed uses if parking demands for those uses were to be individually assessed. It is unlikely that a "shared parking permit" can be made conditional (e.g., incorporating revisitation provisions) such that any future changes in "ownership," "tenancy," and "occupancy" that might substantially alter site -specific MC -imposed parking requirements or in the event that on -site parking problems arise and remain unabated except through the independent and coordinated actions of the business association or other entity responsible for the site's management. Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description Initial Study September 2019 Page 1-17 Packet Pg. 355 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project V--V&. 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAP Subject to the Commission's and/or the Council's determination, the potential need for the processing of a "shared parking permit" for the proposed project may be negated through the adoption and application of the proposed "Planned Development (PD) Overlay District" and accompanying CUP. Grading Permit. As defined, in part, in Section 15378(a)(1) and (3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, under CEQA, a "project" includes those activities directly undertaken by any public agency including, but not limited to, public works construction and related activities, clearing or grading of land and improvements to existing public structures and those activities involving the issuance to a person of a lease, permit, license, certificate, or other entitlement for use by one or more public agencies. The City's issuance of a grading permit to a project proponent would, therefore, appear to fall within the definition of a "project." To the extent that, pursuant to City policies and procedures, the City Engineer is granted discretionary as to the issuance of that permit and the imposition of conditions thereupon, a grading permit may constitute a discretionary action under CEQA. Without alteration of its status under CEQA, because a grading permit is required for the construction of the proposed project, that permit is nonetheless listed herein. The proposed project's conceptual grading permit is illustrated in Figure 11 (Proposed "Brea Canyon Road Business Park" Project — Conceptual Grading and Drainage Plan). Excavation of the project site will include cuts to remove undocumented fills, excavations for foundations, and trenching for new utility lines. Undocumented fills and portions of the compressible natural soils will be removed and replaced with properly compacted fill. Actual depths of removal will be determined by the engineering geologist or geotechnical engineer in the field during grading operations. Soils available from on -site excavation, less debris or organic matter, is suitable for reuse in fills with the exception of fills behind retaining walls and directly beneath the flatwork. Total grading quantities, the quantity of soil material requiring export, and the quantity of soil materials to be imported onto the project site have not been. With regards to haul routes, it is assumed that all materials to imported materials will arrive northbound Brea Canyon Road, via the Pomona (SR-60) Freeway. Materials exported from the project site will travel northbound on Brea Canyon Road, westbound on Lycoming Street, southbound on Lemon Avenue to the Pomona (SR-60) Freeway. In addition to those entitlements required from the City, separate permits and approval may also be required from a number of other governmental entities, including the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles District (LARWQCB), and the County of Los Angeles (County). Although the project site abuts the corporate boundaries of the City of Industry (Industry), no discretionary entitlements from Industry have been assumed herein. If so required, at its discretion, Industry may be able to utilize this CEQA document as the environmental basis for those actions. A "medical office" is distinguishable from a "hospital" and would not require Office of Statewide Health Planning Department (OSHPD) permitting. Although no toxic air contaminants JAC) are anticipated to be generated by the proposed use, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) may have a review or permit function with regards to any specialized emission control systems and/or backup generators that may be employed on the project site.

Use of certain equipment, such as x-ray machines, may require a radioactive materials license permit from the Radiological Health Branch of the California Department of Health Services (DHS). A general permit may be required from the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) for use of radioactive materials for diagnostic purposes. Based on the specific discretionary action under consideration, the City, acting through the Council) and Commission, is serving as the CEQA-designated "lead agency"17,1I and will act upon all requisite City -issued discretionary actions. This document has been prepared by the Department. Prior to its acceptance by the Council, the preliminary conclusions presented herein reflect those of the Department based on the Department's independent analysis of the proposed project and its potential environmental effects. In the preparation of this CEQA document and in the derivation of those preliminary findings presented herein, information from a broad array of documents and other sources have been considered. As a result, the information cited herein is often synoptic in nature and may, out of reasonable prudence, present only those portions of other documents and other analyses that appear most relevant to the proposed project and/or to the topical issue then at hand. In addition, while seeking to present the most accurate available information, data extracted from other sources should be seen as reflective of the date of that data's assemblage. To the extent reasonable, the documents from which relevant information have been extracted are identified so as to allow independent review thereof. The Department recognizes that other documents may present and individual stakeholders may hold differing viewpoints and that other information, potentially contradictory to that presented herein, may be cited offering differing theories, technical arguments, alternative conclusions, and suggesting distinctly different actions and remedies. The Department seeks broad -based participation in this process and encourages the active involvement of individuals, organizations, and agencies holding different opinions and offering different conclusions.19 1.2 CEQA Provisions Pursuant to Section 210180(a) of CEQA: "Except as otherwise provided in this division, this division shall apply to discretionary projects proposed to be carried out or approved by public agencies, including, but not limited to, the enactment and amendment of zoning ordinances, the issuance of zoning variances, the issuance of conditional use permits, and the approval of tentative subdivision maps unless the project is exempt from this division." 17/ "'Lead agency' means the public agency which has the principal responsibility for carrying out or approving a project. The lead agency will decide whether an EIR or negative declaration will be required for the project and will cause the document to be prepared" (Section 15367, State CEQA Guidelines). 18/ When presented in lower case, the term "lead agency" is intended to refer to a broader range of agencies and not exclusive to the City. 19/ Section 1094.5 of the California Code of Civil Procedures requires that certain adjudicatory decisions be supported by findings and that those findings be supported by evidence. In interpreting that section, the California Supreme Court outlined the following five purposes thereof: "(1) Provide a framework for making principled decisions, enhancing the integrity of the administrative process; (2) Help make analysis orderly and reduce the likelihood that the agency will randomly leap from evidence to conclusions; (3) Enable the parties to determine whether and on what basis they should seek judicial review and remedy; (4) Apprise a reviewing court of the basis for the agency's action; and (5) Serve a public relations function by helping to persuade the parties that administrative decision making is careful, reasoned, and equitable" (Topanga Association for a Scenic Community v. County of Los Angeles [1974]). Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description September 2019 Initial Study Page 1-37 Packet Pg. 375 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project V--V&. 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAP Since CEQA is not applicable to projects that are denied, no CEQA documentation would be required should the proposed project be denied (Section 15270, State CEQA Guidelines). For non-exempt projects, compliance with CEQA is usually undertaken in a three -step process. In the first step, the lead agency determines if the contemplated action being considered is a "project" under CEQA. If the action is deemed to be a "project," the lead agency then determines if it is exempt from CEQA. If the contemplated action is not exempt, the lead agency then determines whether it is likely to result in a significant impact on the environment that cannot be mitigated to a less -than -significant level. If the answer to that question is yes, the lead agency must prepare an "environmental impact report" (EIR). If the answer is no, an "initial study" is prepared, leading to the preparation of either a "negative declaration" (ND) or "mitigated negative declaration" (MND). The primary difference between a ND and a MND is the presence of lead agency -imposed "mitigation measures" which, should the contemplated action be approved, subsequently become conditions of project approval. As indicated in Section 15074(b) of the State CEQA Guidelines, "the decisionmaking body shall adopt the proposed negative declaration or mitigated negative declaration only if it finds on the basis of the whole record before it (including the initial study and any comments received), that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment." As required under Section 15204(b) in the State CEQA Guidelines, "in reviewing negative declarations, persons and public agencies should focus on the proposed finding that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment. If persons and public agencies believe that the project may have a significant effect, they should: (1) Identify the specific effect, (2) Explain why they believe the effect would occur, and (3) Explain why they believe the effect would be significant." If during the negative declaration process there is substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the lead agency that the project may have a significant effect on the environment which cannot be mitigated or avoided, the lead agency shall prepare an EIR prior to approving the project (Section 15073.5[d], State CEQA Guidelines). As specified in Section 15004 of the State CEQA Guidelines: (a) Before granting any approval of a project subject to CEQA, every lead agency or responsible agency shall consider a final EIR or negative declaration or another document authorized by these guidelines to be used in the place of an EIR or negative declaration ... (b) Choosing the precise time for CEQA compliance involves a balancing of competing factors. EIRs and negative declarations should be prepared as early as feasible in the planning process to enable environmental considerations to influence project program and design and yet late enough to provide meaningful information for environmental assessment." Impacts under CEQA must relate, either directly or indirectly, to a "physical change" (Section 21065 CEQA; Sections 15378[a] and 15358[b], State CEQA Guidelines). The Department is presently in possession of sufficient information concerning the physical characteristics of the proposed BCBP and the pre- and likely post -project characteristics of the subject property so as to commence the preparation of a CEQA-compliance analysis thereof. From that information, the Department can reasonably ascertain the potential environmental effects associated therewith, identify potentially significant environmental effects, and formulate reasonable and feasible mitigation measures in response to any such potentially significant impacts so identified. The proposed project is located within a one -quarter -mile radius of one or more existing schools, including the privately -operated Discovery World Preschool and Private Elementary School (801 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar) (located an estimated 150 feet [0.03 miles] west of the project site) and Walnut Valley Unified School District's (WVUSD) Walnut Elementary School (841 September 2019 Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description Page 1-38 Initial Study Packet Pg. 376 7.1.g '11.., Brea Canyon Business Park Project DIAMONfl BAR 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 Glenwick Avenue, Walnut) (located approximately 0.42 miles west of the project site). For discretionary projects within a one -quarter -mile radius of an existing school, CEQA imposes specific prohibitions relating to the emission of hazardous air emissions and the handling of extremely hazardous substance or any mixture containing extremely hazardous substances in quantities equal to or greater than specified threshold quantities that may pose a health or safety hazard to persons attending or employed at the school (Section 21151.4, CEQA). Based on the information now known to the Department, since no substantial quantities of such hazardous air emissions and/or extremely hazardous substances are associated with the construction and operation of the proposed project and the "permitted" land uses authorized thereupon, the proposed project appears fully compliant therewith. In order to determine whether a particular environmental impact is significant, there needs to exist a quantitative, qualitative, or performance -based yardstick against which identified impacts can be compared. The City has not formally established any "thresholds of significance criteria" separate and apart from those included in or derived from Appendix G (Environmental Checklist Form) of the State CEQA Guidelines. The thresholds of significance criterion utilized by the Department in assessing the potential significant of the proposed project's identified impacts are, therefore, extracted from the latest version thereof (December 28, 2018). Certain identified impacts may not, however, have an adopted threshold standard against which significance can be judged. For example, no threshold standards directly relating to parking, light trespass, shade and shadow, visual intrusion, and/or privacy are presented therein. Citing "Reconciling Environmental Protection with the Need for Certainty: Thresholds for CEQA" (January 1995), "in the absence of clear guidelines, a project's fate can vary widely depending on the personal history and biases of the staff member involved.1120 Where no thresholds are presented, based on substantial information in the public record, the Council constitutes the final arbiter of significance under CEQA and constitutes the body responsible for determining whether the proposed action qualifies for processing under a "negative declaration," a "mitigated negative declaration," or requires the preparation of an "environmental impact report" (EIR). As defined in Section 21064.5 of CEQA: "'Mitigated negative declaration' means a negative declaration prepared for a project when the initial study has identified potentially significant effects on the environment, but (1) revisions in the project plans or proposals made by, or agreed to by, the applicant before the proposed negative declaration and initial study are released for public review would avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effect on the environment would occur, and (2) there is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the public agency that the project, as revised, may have a significant effect on the environment." As specified in Section 21082.1(c)(3) of CEQA: "As part of the adoption of a negative declaration or a mitigated negative declaration, or certification of an environmental impact report, find that the report or declaration reflects the independent judgment of the lead agency." As further specified in Section 15074(b) of the State CEQA Guidelines: "The decision -making body shall adopt the proposed negative declaration or mitigated negative declaration only if it finds on the basis of the whole record before it (including the initial study and any comments received), that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment and that the negative declaration or mitigated negative declaration reflects the lead agency's independent judgment and analysis." 20/ Watts, John, Reconciling Environmental Protection with the Need for Certainty: Thresholds for CEQA, Ecology Law Quarterly, Vol. 22, No.1, January 1995. Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description September 2019 Initial Study Page 1-39 Packet Pg. 377 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project V--V&. 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAP In the event that Lead Agency should subsequently determine that an EIR, rather than a negative declaration or mitigated negative declaration, is required for the proposed project, additional environmental analysis and separate findings would then be required. Administrative findings which merely recite statutory language have been deemed insufficient to demonstrate compliance therewith (City of Carmel -by -the -Sea v. Board of Supervisors [1977]). Pursuant to Section 15126.6(a)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines: "Mitigation measures are not required for effects which are not found to be significant." 1.3 Transit -Priority Projects On September 2013, the Governor signed into law Senate Bill (SB) 743, which instituted changes to CEQA when evaluating environmental impacts from projects located in areas served by public transit. While the primary focus of SB 743 focused on a major overhaul concerning how transportation impacts are evaluated under CEQA, it also limited the extent to which aesthetics and parking are defined as potential impacts thereunder. Specifically, Section 21099(d)(1) of CEQA states that a project's aesthetic and parking impacts shall not be considered a significant impact on the environment if: (1) the project is a residential, mixed -use residential, or employment center project and (2) the project is located on an infill site within a "transit priority area." A "transit priority area" is defined as an area within one-half mile of an existing or planned major transit stop. A "major transit stop" is defined in Section 21064.3 of CEQA as a rail transit station, a ferry terminal served by either a bus or rail transit service, or the intersection of two or more major bus routes with a frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less during the morning (AM) and afternoon (PM) peak commute periods. Section 21099(a) of CEQA provides the following additional definitions: "Employment center project" means a project located on property zoned for commercial uses with a FAR [floor -area -ratio] no less than 0.75 and that is located within a transit priority area. "Infill site" means a lot located within an urban area that has been previously developed or on a vacant site where at least 75 percent of the perimeter of the site adjoins or is separated only by an improved public right-of-way from parcels that are developed with qualified urban uses. "Transit priority area" (TPA) means an area within one-half mile of a major transit stop that is existing or planned, if the planned stop is scheduled to be completed within the planning horizon included in a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) adopted pursuant to Section 450.216 or 450.322 in Title 23 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Additionally, residential, employment center, and mixed -use development project, including any subdivision or any zone change associated therewith, are statutorily exempt from CEQA if the proposed project is: (1) located within a TPA; (2) undertaken to implement and is consistent with a specific plan for which an El has been certified; and (3) consistent with both the general plan's land -use designation, density, building intensity and the Southern California Association of Governments' (SCAG) "2016-2040 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy: A Plan for Mobility, Accessibility, Sustainability and a High Quality of Life" (April 7, 2016) (2016 RTP/SCS) (Section 21155.4, CEQA). The project site is located within "one-half mile" of the Industry Metrolink Station (600 Brea Canyon Road, Industry); however, because the designated intensity of the project site (under both existing and proposed land -use policies) is "less than 0.75" FAR, the proposed project does not constitute September 2019 Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description Page 1-40 Initial Study Packet Pg. 378 7.1.g '11.., Brea Canyon Business Park Project DIAMONfl BAR 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 an "employment center project" within the meaning of Section 21099(d)(1) of CEQA. In addition, because both a GPA and ZC are required for the project's implementation, the proposed project is not deemed to be exempt under the provisions of Section 21155.4 of CEQA. 1.4 General Plan Consistency Requirement As noted in Friends of Lagoon Valley v. City of Vacaville (2007), California courts have held that "the propriety of virtually any local decision affecting land use and development depends upon consistency with the applicable general plan and its elements.1121 As specified under Sections 66473.522 and 6647423 in Title 7 (Planning and Land Use) of the CGC, local agencies are prohibited from approving subdivision maps unless such maps are consistent with applicable general and, where applicable, specific plans. The Applicant's development application was accepted by the Department prior to the culmination of final deliberation by the Commission and Council on the then proposed comprehensive update to the "City of Diamond Bar General Plan" (2019 General Plan Update). As such, the BCBP project has been processed under the provisions of the "City of Diamond Bar General Plan," as initially adopted on July 25, 1995 and as amended on September 3, 2013 and February 4, 2014 (1995/2013/2014 General Plan). The Department acknowledges that the City is presently in the process of preparing a comprehensive update to the 1995/2013/2014 General Plan, including possible changes to the City's "Official Zoning Map" and an accompanying program -level EIR addressing the potential direct, indirect, and cumulative environmental effects of those actions. The Department further acknowledges that the outcome of those ongoing legislative and environmental compliance actions remains subject to the culmination of that process, such that the implications thereof relative to the proposed project cannot be definitively determined. Subdivision approvals involve the application of general standards to specific parcels of real property. Such governmental conduct, affecting the relatively few, is "determined by facts peculiar to the individual case" and is "adjudicatory" in nature, requiring adequate findings at the administrative level for purposes of judicial review under the "substantial evidence" standard. 1.5 California Building and Development Codes The State has adopted a wide range of comprehensive building codes and standards governing the manner in which residential and non-residential buildings, including transient lodgings, in California are to be designed and constructed. Potentially relevant portions of those codes and code sections that appear applicable or potentially applicable to the proposed project or portions thereof are briefly identified below. 21/ Friends of Lagoon Valley v. City of Vacaville (2007). 22/ "No local agency shall approve a tentative map, or a parcel map for which a tentative map was not required, unless the legislative body finds that the proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the general plan required by Article 5 (commencing with Section 65300) of Chapter 3 of Division 1, or any specific plan adopted pursuant to Article 8 (commencing with Section 65450) of Chapter 3 of Division 1." 23/ "A legislative body of a city or county shall deny approval of a tentative map, or a parcel map for which a tentative map was not required, if it makes any of the following findings ... That the proposed map is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans as specified in Section 65451." Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description September 2019 Initial Study Page 1-41 Packet Pg. 379 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project V--V&. 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAP Building Energy Efficiency Standards. As indicated in the California Energy Commission's (CEC) "2016 Nonresidential Compliance Manual for the 2016 Building Energy Efficiency Standards" (January 2017): "The design of a hotel or motel is unique in that the design must incorporate a wide variety of occupancies and functions into one structure. The occupancies range from nonresidential occupancies to hotel/motel guest rooms. Design functions that affect guests range from the 'experience of arrival' created through the main lobby's architectural features to the thermal comfort of the guest rooms. Other functions that hotel/motel designs must address include restaurants, kitchens, laundry, storage, light assembly, outdoor lighting, sign lighting, and other items that are necessary to the hotel/motel function. In short, these structures can range from simple guest rooms with a small office, to a structure encompassing a small city" (Section 1.7.8). As further indicated in the CEC's 2016 "Building Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings" (Title 24, Part 6, California Code of Regulations [CCR]) (June 2015) (2016 BEES), a "hotel/motel" is "a building or buildings that has six or more guest rooms or a lobby serving six or more guest rooms, where the guest rooms are intended or designed to be used, or which are used, rented, or hired out to be occupied, or which are occupied for sleeping purposes by guests, and all conditioned spaces within the same building envelope. Hotel/motel also includes all conditioned spaces which are (1) on the same property as the hotel/motel, (2) served by the same central heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning system as the hotel/motel, and (3) integrally related to the functioning of the hotel/motel as such, including, but not limited to, exhibition facilities, meeting and conference facilities, food service facilities, lobbies, and laundries" (Section 100.1). As defined therein, the "building envelope is the "ensemble of exterior and demising partitions of a building that enclose conditioned space." A key part of the CEC's definition is that a "hotel/motel" is inclusive of all spaces within the same building envelope as the lobby or the guest rooms. Hotel/motel buildings are generally considered multi -purpose facilities and include such diverse spaces as restaurants, auditoriums, retail stores, offices, kitchens, laundries, and swimming pools - all of which are treated by the CEC as hotel/motel space. This concept extends to other buildings associated with the hotel/motel that pass the three stated tests: (1) located on the same property; (2) utilizing the same central heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system; and (3) integrally related to the lobby and/or guest rooms. California Building Standards Code. The 2016 "California Building Standards Code" (Title 24, CCR) (2016 CBC) does not specifically define "office" but does include the following potentially relevant definitions: 0 Commercial Facilities. "Facilities whose operations will affect commerce and are intended for nonresidential use by a private entity." 0 Clinic Outpatient. "Buildings or portions thereof used to provide medical care on less than a 24-hour basis to persons who are not classified as nonambulatory or bedridden or rendered incapable of self-preservation by the services provided." 0 Place of Public Accommodations. "Facility operated by a private entity whose operations affect commerce and fall within at least one of the following categories: (1) Place of lodging, except for an establishment located within a facility that contains not more than five rooms for rent or hire and that actually is occupied by the proprietor of the establishment as the residence of the proprietor.

(2) A restaurant, bar, or other establishment serving food or drink; (3) A motion picture house, theater, concert hall, stadium, or other place of exhibition or entertainment; (4) An auditorium, convention center, lecture hall, or other place of public gathering; (5) A bakery, grocery store, clothing store, hardware store, shopping center, or other sales or rental establishment; (6) A laundromat, dry-cleaner, bank, barber shop, beauty shop, travel service, shoe repair service, funeral parlor, gas station, office of an accountant or lawyer, pharmacy, insurance office, professional office of a health care provider, hospital, or other service establishment; (7) A terminal, depot, or other station used for specified public transportation; (8) A museum, library, gallery, or other place of public display or collection; (9) A park, zoo, amusement park, or other place of recreation; (10) A nursery, elementary, secondary, undergraduate, or postgraduate private school, or other place of education; (11) A day-care center, senior citizen center, homeless shelter, food bank, adoption agency, or other social service center establishment; (12) A gymnasium, health spa, bowling alley, golf course, or other place of exercise or recreation; (13) A religious facility; (14) An office building; and (15) A public curb or sidewalk." As defines above, "a place or lodging" (hotel) is defined as: A facility operated by a private entity whose operations affect commerce and fall within at least one of the following categories: (1) Place of lodging, except for an establishment located within a facility that contains not more than five rooms for rent or hire and that actually is occupied by the proprietor of the establishment as the residence of the proprietor. For purposes of this code, a facility is a "place of lodging" if it is (i) An inn, hotel or motel; or (ii) A facility that (A) Provides guest rooms for sleeping for stays that primarily are short-term in nature (generally 30 days or less) where the occupant does not have the right to return to a specific room or unit after the conclusion of his or her stay; and (B) Provides guest rooms under conditions and with amenities similar to a hotel, motel, or inn, including the following: (1) On- or off -site management and reservations service; (2) Rooms available on a walk-up or call -in basis; (3) Availability of housekeeping or linen service; and (4) Acceptance of reservations for a guest room type without guaranteeing a particular unit or room until check -in, and without a prior lease or security deposit.

As described therein: 0 Business Group B. Business Group B occupancy includes, among others, the use of a building or structure, or a portion thereof, for office, professional or service -type transactions, including storage of records and accounts. Business occupancies shall include, but not be limited to, the following: [1] Airport traffic control towers; [2] Ambulatory care facilities serving five or fewer patients; [3] Animal hospitals, kennels and pounds; [4] Banks; [5] Barber and beauty shops; [6] Car wash; [7] Civic administration; [8] Clinic, outpatient (not classified as Group 1-2.1); [8] Dry cleaning and laundries: pick-up and delivery stations and self-service; [9] Educational occupancies for students above the 12t" grade; [10] Electronic data processing; [11 ] Food processing establishments and commercial kitchens not associated with restaurants, cafeterias and similar dining facilities not more than 2,500 square feet (232 m2) in area; [12] Laboratories: testing, research and instruction; [13] Motor vehicle showrooms; [14] Post offices; [15] Print shops; [16] Professional services (architects, attorneys, dentists, physicians, engineers, etc.); [17] Radio and television stations; [18] Telephone exchanges; [and] [19] Training and skill development not within a school or academic program (this shall include, but not be limited to, tutoring centers, martial arts studios, gymnastics and similar uses regardless of the ages served, and where not classified as a Group A occupancy). "Places of lodging" (hotels) typically include multiple occupancies, differentiation guest rooms from lobbies, laundry facilities, common areas, and other back -of -house areas (distinguished from "front -of -house," representing all areas in the hospitality industry that customers do not routinely see). With regards to the proposed hotel project, subject to the Building Officials determination, the following occupancy groups have been assumed herein: 0 Residential Group R-1. That portion of the hotel containing the guest rooms, would appear to be appropriately categories in the 2016 CBC under occupancy group "Residential Group R-V (Section 310.3, 2016 CBC), defined as a "residential occupancy containing sleeping units where the occupants are primarily transient in nature" (e.g., hotels and motels) (Section 202, 2016 CBC). In accordance therewith, those stories to be occupied by guest rooms (second through fifth floor) will be fire - separated from the ground -floor below. "Residential Group R-V structures may, by definition, constitute transient lodgings. 0 Assembly Group A-3. A portion of the hotel's first -story level will not include guest rooms but rather will consist of an interior lobby/lounge, seating areas, private work stations, administrative offices, and other back -of -house areas. "Assembly Group A" (Section 303.1, 2016 CBC) occupancy includes, among others, the use of a building or structure or a portion thereof for the gathering of persons for civic, social or religious functions, recreation, food or drink consumption, or awaiting transportation. With certain exceptions (e.g., laundry room and kitchen areas), excluding guest rooms, "Assembly Group A" would likely be the predominant occupancy group associated therewith. As noted, in part, in Section 503 (General Building Height and Area Limitations) of the 2016 CBC: "Unless otherwise specifically modified in Chapter 4 and this Chapter, building height, number of stories and building area shall not exceed the limits specified in Sections 504 and 506 based on the type of construction as determined by Section 602 and the occupancies September 2019 Page 1-44 Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description Initial Study Packet Pg. 382 7.1.g '11.., Brea Canyon Business Park Project DIAMONfl BAR 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 as determined by Section 302 except as modified hereafter. Building height, number of stories and building area provisions shall be applied independently. Each portion of a building separated by one or more fire walls complying with Section 706 shall be considered to be a separate building." Each area, which is considered a separate building, must stay within its own size limitation for the construction type; however, that differentiation potentially allowing the building height to increase based on the occupancy -based provisions of the 2016 CBC, as stipulated, in whole or in part, in Table 504.3 (Allowable Building Height in Feet above Ground Plane) and Table 504.3 (Allowable Building Height in Feet above Ground Plane) herein. In describing the treatment of accessory and incidental uses, the 2016 CBC noted: 0 Accessory Occupancies. The 2016 CBC allows spaces that would normally be required to be separated from other occupancies by fire -resistive walls and ceiling/floor assemblies to omit these rated separations provided that they qualify as accessory occupancies. A space may qualify as an accessory occupancy if it meets all of the following criteria: (1) Accessory space shall not be more than 10 percent of the area of any floor; (2) The aggregate area of all accessory spaces in the building shall not exceed the base allowable area for non-sprinklered buildings listed in Table 506.2 without increases due to the presence of sprinklers or frontage; (3) The space is ancillary to, directly associated with, functionally interdependent upon, and under the direct control of the main use and would not otherwise take place independently; (4) The room is used for purposes or by persons who are expected to be associated with the main use of the building; (5) The space is not used for a purpose that could reasonably be expected take place independent of the main use; (6) The space is occupied outside of the regularly scheduled hours of use for the rest of the facility. For purposes of calculating allowable area only, accessory occupancies are treated as the main occupancy they are accessory to; for all other purposes (such as sprinkler and alarm requirements, egress, maximum stories) they retain their original occupancy classification (Section 508.2). 0 Incidental Uses. The 2016 CBC recognizes that some spaces in a building are inherently more hazardous than others and requires that they be appropriately separated from other spaces with rated construction, protected by fire sprinklers, or both. Incidental uses shall be protected as required in Table 509 even if they would otherwise qualify as an unseparated accessory space. Where the option is available to provide sprinkler protection in the place of rated construction, construction shall still be capable of resisting the passage of smoke (Section 509). Unlike accessory uses, incidental use spaces assume the occupancy of the part of the building they are located in and are not given an occupancy classification based on the use they most closely match from the list in Section 302.1. The aggregate area of incidental use spaces shall not be more than 10 percent of the area of the story they are located in. Where not exceeded, they shall be treated as separated occupancies and be provided with the protection and/or separation as required by Table 509 or 508.4, whichever is greater. California Green Building Standards Code. The 2016 "Green Building Standards Code" (Title 24, Part 11, CCR) (2016 CalGreen) imposes separate and distinct obligations for residential and non-residential buildings. As specified therein, hotels are categorizes as residential buildings. With regards to non-residential buildings, Chapter 5 (Nonresidential Mandatory Measures) therein contains mandatory measures for building construction in Section 5.507 (Environmental Comfort). These noise standards are applied for the purpose of controlling interior noise levels resulting from exterior noise sources. In addition, Appendix Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description Initial Study September 2019 Page 1-45 Packet Pg. 383 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project V--V&. 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAP A4 (Residential Voluntary Measures), Division A4.5 (Environmental Quality), identified Section 5.507 (Environmental Comfort) as a voluntary measure for residential building construction (e.g., hotels, motels, and lodging houses). As specified therein, non-residential buildings located within transportation noise contours of 65 dBA CNEL or Ldn be required to evaluate the building shell to provide acceptable interior sound levels. As stipulated in Section 5.507.4 (Acoustical Controls) therein, all newly constructed non-residential buildings shall "[e]mploy building assemblies and components with Sound Transmission Class (STC) values determined in accordance with ASTM E90 and ASTM E413 or Outdoor -Indoor Sound Transmission Class (OITC) determined in accordance with ASTM E1332, using either the prescriptive or performance method in Section 5.507.4.1 or 5.507.4.2." 2016 CalGreen provides two methods for meeting interior sound level standards: 0 Prescriptive Method. The prescriptive method stipulates a minimum building envelope composite STC rating of 50 (OITC 40) with exterior windows meeting a minimum STC rating of 40 (OITC 30) (Section 5.507.4.2, CCR). The regulations specify that acoustical studies must be prepared when non-residential structures are developed in areas where the exterior noise levels exceed 65 dBA CNEL. If the development falls within a transportation 65 dBA CNEL noise contour, the combined STC rating of the wall and roof -ceiling assemblies must be at least 50 (Section 5.507.4.1). For those developments in areas where noise contours are not readily available and the noise level exceeds 65 dBA hourly Leq for any hour of operation, a wall and roof -ceiling combined STC rating of 45, and exterior windows with a minimum STC rating of 40 are required (Section 5.507.4.1.1, CCR). 0 Performance Method. The 2016 CBC no longer requires that multi -family residential or transient lodging facilities meet an Ldn sound level limit of 45 dB(A). Instead, Section 5.507.4.2 (Performance Method) of 2016 CalGreen requires that buildings within transportation noise contours of 65 dBA (or higher) CNEL or Ldn be required to evaluate the building shell to ensure the interior environment does not exceed an hourly Leq of 50 dBA in occupied areas during any hour of operation (Section 5.507.4.2). Under those performance provisions, an acoustical analysis documenting complying interior sound levels shall be prepared by personnel approved by the architect or engineer of record (Section 5.507.4.2.2, CCR). In addition, with regards to interior sound transmission, wall and floor -ceiling assemblies separating tenant spaces and tenant spaces and public places shall have an STC of at least 40 (Section 5.507.4.3, CCR). 1.6 Predetermination As indicated in Section 15003 of the State CEQA Guidelines: "The purpose of CEQA is not to generate paper, but to compel government at all levels to make decisions with environmental consequences in mind." With explicit reference to EIRs rather than to MNDs, the California Supreme Court, in Laurel Heights Improvement Association v. Regents of the University of California (1988) held that "[a] fundamental purpose of an EIR is to provide decision -makers with information they can use in deciding whether to approve a proposed project, not to inform them of the environmental effects of projects that they have already approved. If post approval environmental review were allowed, EIRs would likely become nothing more than post hoc rationalizations to support action already taken. We have expressly condemned this use of EIRs."

It must be open to the public, premised upon a full and meaningful disclosure of the scope, purpose, and effect of a consistently described project, with flexibility to response to unforeseen insights that emerge from the process. In short, a project must be open for public discussion and subject to agency modification during the CEQA process. This process helps demonstrate to the public that the agency has in fact analyzed and considered the environmental implications of its action." Because declarations of public support and evidence of pre -commitment can effectively undermine the CEQA and public participation processes, the Lead Agency is precluded from making any predetermination concerning the outcome of the CEQA and planning processes. Notwithstanding the cessation of the project site's former use and the Applicant's clearance of the project site in anticipation of subsequent development thereupon, no such predetermination by the City's advisory and decision -making bodies and its individual departments has occurred relative to the proposed project. 2.0 ENVIRONMENTAL AND REGULATORY SETTING 2.1 City of Diamond Bar General Plan California's land -use and zoning law is codified, in part, in Sections 65000-66037 in Division 1 (Planning and Zoning) of Title 7 (Planning and Land Use) of the CGC. As required under Section 65300 therein: "Each planning agency shall prepare and the legislative body of each county and city shall adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan for the physical development of the county or city, and of any land outside its boundaries which in the planning agency's judgment bears relation to its planning." As further specified under Section 65300.5 therein, it is the State Legislature's intent that "the general plan and elements and parts thereof comprise an integrated, internally consistent and compatible statement of policies for the adopting agency." "The general plan is atop the hierarchy of local government law regulating land use" (Neighborhood Action Group v. County of Calaveras [1984]). The 1995/2013/2014 General Plan includes the following "elements": (1) land use; (2) housing; (3) resource management; (4) public health and safety; (5) circulation; and (6) public services and facilities. The term "element" refers to the topics that California law requires to be covered in a general plan (Section 65302, CGC). There is no mandatory structure or maximum number of elements that a general plan must include. Once added into the general plan, each element, regardless of statutory requirement, assumes the same legal standing, and must be consistent with other elements (Section 65300.5, CGC). With regards to the "housing element," it is the Legislature's intent that "the availability of housing is a matter of vital statewide importance and the attainment of decent housing and a suitable living environment for all Californians is a priority of the highest order" (Section 65580, CGC). Statutory provisions relating to the "housing element" are more specific and directive than those associated with other elements, containing detailed guidance and delegating specific responsibility relating to adequacy to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). Specifically, the housing element must be revised and submitted periodically to HCD on a four, five, or eight year cycle, depending on a variety of factors (Section 65588). In compliance therewith, the housing element contained in the 1995/2013/2014 General Plan was subsequently Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description September 2019 Initial Study Page 1-47 Packet Pg. 385 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project V--V&. 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAP superseded on a number of occasions, most recently on April 19, 2011 ("2008-2014 Housing Element Update") and again on January 21, 2014 ("2013-2021 Housing Element Update"). In addition, the "land use element" was most recently updated on September 3, 2013 to establish a new "High -Density Residential-30 (RH-30)" land -use designation (Resolution No. 2013-29) and Title 22 (Development Code) most recently updated on February 4, 2014 to rezone a former automobile dealership site from "C-3" to "C-3-PD/Hotel Overlay" (Ordinance No. 01-2014). As authorized in Sections 65800-65863.12 of the CGC, cities and counties are authorized to adopt and administer zoning laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations and to implement such general plans as may be in effect in such cities or counties. As provided in Section 65800 of the CGC: The legislative body of any county or city may, pursuant to this chapter, adopt ordinances that do any of the following: (a) Regulate the use of buildings, structures, and land as between industry, business, residences, open space, including agriculture, recreation, enjoyment of scenic beauty, use of natural resources, and other purposes. (b) Regulate signs and billboards. (c) Regulate all of the following: (1) The location, height, bulk, number of stories, and size of buildings and structures. (2) The size and use of lots, yards, courts, and other open spaces. (3) The percentage of a lot which may be occupied by a building or structure. (4) The intensity of land use. (d) Establish requirements for off-street parking and loading. (e) Establish and maintain building setback lines. (f) Create civic districts around civic centers, public parks, public buildings, or public grounds, and establish regulations for those civil districts. As indicated in the "Land Use Element" of the 1995/2013/2014 General Plan: The land use designations, or categories, in this [Land Use] Element are described in terms of intensity and density. The term "intensity" which applies to non-residential uses, refers to the extent of development on a parcel of land or on a lot. It includes the total building square footage, building height, the floor area ratio, and/or the percent of lot coverage. Intensity is often used to describe non-residential development levels, but in a broader sense, intensity is used to express overall levels of both residential and non- residential development types. In this [Land Use] Element, floor area ratio and building square footage are used as measures of non-residential development intensity.24 Maximum allowable development on individual parcels of land is governed by these measures of density or intensity. Table 1-3 identifies the acreage dedicated to each land use category... Average commercial/industrial FARs is based on existing development patterns. For various reasons, many parcels in the community have not been developed to their maximum density or intensity and, in the future, maximum development as described in this [Land Use] Element can be expected to occur only on a limited number of parcels. Development at an intensity or density between the expected and maximum levels can occur only where projects offer exceptional design quality, important public amenities or benefits, or other factors that promote important goals and policies of the [1995/2013/2013] General Plan.zs As defined by "permitted density/intensity" and measured as floor -area -ratio (FAR), "intensity" has been integrated into the descriptions of individual non-residential land uses. Relative to both the "General Commercial (C)" and "Professional Office (OP)" districts, the allowable FAR is described 21/ City of Diamond Bar, City of Diamond Bar General Plan, September 3, 2003, Land Use Element, p. 1-25. 25/ Ibid., p. 1-26.

FAR is a number depicting the relationship between a property's total lot area (measured in square footage) and the total net floor area of all uses authorized thereupon. For example, as illustrated in Figure 12 (Calculating Floor - Area -Ratio), a ratio of 1.0:0.5 (horizontal to vertical), typically represented as 0.50, means that a 10,000 square feet lot could be developed to a maximum intensity of 5,000 square feet (10,000 x 0.50 = 5,000). FAR is a different metric that lot coverage, which measures the percentage of a site covered with buildings and other imperious surfaces. Since FARS serve only to establish the parameters in which design professionals operate, it is used more as a box in which a development project must operate rather than a target to reach.

Based on a proposed development of 118,471 gross square feet, the resulting FAR is 0.48 (118,471 / 249,022 = 0.476), which is less than the 0.63 FAR midpoint ([1.00 - 0.25]/2 = 0.63) between the maximum (1.00:1.00) and minimum (1.00:0.25) intensity authorized under the 1995/2013/2014 General Plan. The principle differences between the two land -use designations relate to the inclusion or exclusion of "medical offices" as an authorized land use. Under the "Office Professional (OP)" designation, "medical services — clinics and laboratories" are a "conditionally -permitted" use; however, under the "Commercial Office (CO)" designation, "medical services" constitute a "permitted" use. It is noted that only a single explicit reference to "hotels" and "motels" exists in the 1995 General Plan. Absent therefrom is any explicit indication as to into which land -use designation any such transient accommodations would be authorized. The single reference thereto relates to the use of "hotels" and "motels" as possible accommodations for the "homeless.1127 Even that single reference was eliminated with the adoption of the 2013 "Land Use Element Update.1128 Additionally, other than in the context of a "specific plan," the 1995/2013/2014 General Plan contains no reference to or description of "overlay zones" or their manner of use. 21/ Ibid., Land Use Element, Table 1-3 (General Plan Land Use [By Category]), p. 1-27. 27/ "Sheltered homeless are families and persons whose primary nighttime residence is a supervised publicly or privately operated shelter (e.g., emergency, transitional, battered women, and homeless youth shelters; and commercial hotels or motels used to house the homeless)" (City of Diamond Bar, City of Diamond Bar General Plan, July 25, 1995, Housing Element Glossary, p.

That same interpretation does not, however, apply to the Municipal Code (Section 22.06.040). As specified in Subsection "(h)" in Section 22.04.020 (Rules of Interpretation) in Chapter 22.04 (Interpretation of Development Code Provisions): Allowable uses of land. If a proposed use of land is not specifically listed in Article II (Zoning Districts and Allowable Land Uses), the use shall not be allowed, except as follows: (1) Similar uses allowed. The [Community Development] Director may determine that a proposed use not listed in Article II may be allowed as a permitted or conditional use, or is not allowed. In making such a determination, the Director shall first find that: (a) The characteristics of, and activities associated with the proposed use are equivalent to those of one or more of the uses listed in the zoning district as allowable, and will not involve a greater level of activity, population density, traffic generation, parking, dust, noise or intensity than the uses listed in the district; (b) The proposed use will meet the purpose/intent of the zoning district that is applied to the site; and (c) The proposed use will be consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the [1995/2013/2014] General Plan and any applicable specific plan" 2.2 City of Diamond Bar Municipal Code As authorized under Section 65851 of the CGC, "the legislative body may divide a county, a city, or portions thereof, into zones of the number, shape and area it deems best suited to carry out the purpose of this chapter. As specified in the Governor's Office of Planning and Research's (OPR) "General Plan Guidelines" (2017): "The development standards and uses specified for all land use categories in the zoning ordinance - density, lot size, height, and the like - must be consistent with the development standards and uses specified in the general plan's text and diagram of proposed land use." As further specified in a 1998 "legal opinion" offered by Daniel E. Lungren (former California District Attorney) and Gregory L. Gonot (former California Deputy District Attorney): As explained in Lesher Communications, Inc. v. City of Walnut Creek (1990): "Once a city has adopted a general plan, all zoning ordinances must be consistent with that plan, and to be consistent must be `compatible with the objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs specified in such a plan."' A zoning ordinance is consistent with a general plan where, considering all of its aspects, the ordinance furthers the objectives and policies of the general plan and does not obstruct their attainment. In Lesher Communications, Inc. v. City of Walnut Creek, the court noted: "A zoning ordinance that is inconsistent with the general plan is invalid when passed and one that was originally consistent but has become inconsistent must be brought into conformity with the general plan. The planning and zoning law does not contemplate that general plans will be amended to conform to zoning ordinances. The tail does not wag the dog. The general plan is the charter to which the ordinance must conform." As proposed, in order to change the range of allowable uses authorized thereupon and the corresponding development standards associated therewith, the Applicant seeks a GPA from "Professional Office (OP)" to "General Commercial" (C) and a zone change from "Light Industry (1)" to "Regional Commercial -Planned Development Overlay (C-3-PD)."

The applicability of any overlay zoning district to specific sites is shown by the overlay zoning map symbol established by Section 22.06.020 (Zoning Districts Established), being appended as a suffix to the symbol for the primary zoning district on the zoning map (for example, RL-PD). The provisions of this chapter apply to proposed land uses and development in addition to all other applicable requirements of this Development Code. In the event of any perceived conflict between the provisions of this chapter and any other provision of this Development Code, this chapter shall control. As further specified in Section 22.14.030 (Planned Development [PD] Overlay District) of the MC: (a) Purpose. Consistent with the [1995/2013/2014] General Plan vision statement, the PD overlay zoning district provides for maximum flexibility in the site planning and design of residential, commercial, industrial/manufacturing and mixed use projects to encourage superior land use by means such as open space and public amenities. The PD overlay district may be applied to areas where site characteristics and environmental resources, adjacent land uses, or other community conditions may be benefited by site -specific planning or the design of structures that would not otherwise be allowed in the primary zoning district. (b) Applicability. The PD overlay zoning district may be combined with any residential, commercial/industrial, or special purpose zoning district established by Section 22.06.020 (Zoning Districts Established). (c) Allowed land uses. Any land use normally allowed in the primary zoning district may be allowed within the PD overlay zoning district, except when the ordinance rezoning a site to the PD overlay includes specific limitations on allowable land uses. (d) Permit requirements. Conditional use permit approval (chapter 22.58) shall be required for all development proposed on a site subject to the PD overlay district. Changes of use in existing structures shall be subject to the land use permit requirements established by the primary zoning district. (e) Development standards. Approval of a conditional use permit within the PD overlay zoning district may include specific modifications to any of the City's development standards normally required by this article or article III (Site Planning and General Development Standards) including: Minimum lot area, setbacks, site coverage, floor area ratio, height limits, landscaping, or off-street parking. Proposed development and new land uses within the PD overlay shall comply with all other applicable provisions of this Development Code. The City's "planned development" (PD) standards are specified in Chapter 22.32 (Planned Development Standards) of the MC. The purpose of that chapter "is to implement the planned development overlay zoning district by promoting quality design, innovative site planning, transfer of development rights, and mixed uses consistent with the goals and policies of the [1995/2013/2014] General Plan. The intent of the planned development standards is to promote high quality development that incorporates amenities beyond those expected under conventional development, to achieve greater flexibility in design, to encourage well -planned projects through creative and imaginative planning, and to provide for appropriate use of land that is sufficiently unique in its physical characteristics or other circumstances to warrant special methods of development" (Section 22.32,010, MC).

September 2019 Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description Page 1-54 Initial Study Packet Pg. 392 7.1.g It Brea Canyon Business Park Project DIAMOND 9AR 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 2.3 Existing Proximal Land Uses The project site is located to the north of and adjacent to the Pomona (SR-60) Freeway (Post Mile R22.97). As it crosses above Brea Canyon Road, westbound traffic traveling along the freeway mainline is located at an elevation approximately 30-feet higher than the elevation of the nearest portion of the project site. The freeway's descending westbound off -ramp at Brea Canyon Road separates the project site from the freeway mainline. The freeway right-of-way is devoid of vegetation, offering a stark visual appearance when perceived from the Brea Canyon Road off -ramp, the overpass accommodating the ability of northbound traffic traveling along the Orange (SR-57) Freeway to unimpededly link to westbound travel on the Pomona (SR-60) Freeway, from the project site and from Brea Canyon Road. To the west, the project site abuts Brea Canyon Road. As indicated in the 1993/2013/2014 General Plan, Brea Canyon Road is identifies as a "Major Arterial,"29 noting that a "Major Arteria" has "either four or six lanes for through traffic and may contain additional lanes to accommodate turning movements, parking and bicycle traffic, all within a right-of-way of 100-120 feet.1130 In addition, the 1993/2013/2014 General Plan identified a shared "Class III" bicycle route along Brea Canyon Road.31 Similarly, as depicted in in the "Los Angeles County Bicycle Master Plan," both Brea Canyon Road and Lycoming Street (east of Brea Canyon Road) are designated as "Class III" bicycle routes.sz Referencing the City's "Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan" (2001): Class II bikeways require a designated lane within the right-of-way for bicycle travel. This designated lane must match the flow of traffic and be a minimum of five feet in width. A number of Class II bikeways exist within the City and additional Class II bikeways are identified as having future potential for this designation. Brea Canyon Road — A Class II bikeway is proposed from the northern City limit to Pathfinder, a distance of 1.2 miles. This is a regional route and provides access to a number of facilities, including the Metrolink Train Station, and the Golden Springs and Pathfinder routes. South of Pathfinder on the west side (southbound) it is a combination of Class IIII for approximately 1.4 miles. 33 The proposed project includes no provisions or other accommodations for any improvements to existing or proposed bicycle facilities along the property's Brea Canyon Road frontage. Further to the west, across from the project site, single-family homes, located along the eastern terminus of Moonlake Street (20948-20955 Moonlake Street. Diamond Bar) and Northhampton Street (20963-20975 Northhampton Street, Diamond Bar) (Tract No. 27394), back onto Brea Canyon Road. A 5 to 6-foot tall masonry block wall separates those homes from the Brea Canyon Road right-of-way. 29/ Op.

An outdoor play area, similar to a tot -lot, is located along the west side of the property. That Montessori school accommodates preschool and elementary-school age children ranging in age from under one (pre -kindergarten) through 5 years of age (kindergarten). Approximately 120 students attend the school year round. Hours of operate extend between 6:00 AM to 6:30 PM, Monday through Friday. School activities are typically limited to weekdays. Vehicular access is primarily provided via a driveway located along Brea Canyon Road. Traveling westbound on Lycoming Street, existing single-family homes align the south side of the street and a variety of office and warehouse -related uses align the north side of the street. Further to the west, located on the southwest corner of Lycoming Street and Glenwick Avenue, is Walnut Elementary School (841 Glenwick Avenue, Walnut). Walnut Elementary School is operated by the Walnut Valley Unified School District (WVUSD), providing public education for grades K-5 and accommodating approximately 670 students. Other schools in the general project area include the WVUSD's South Pointe Middle School (20671 Larkstone Drive, Diamond Bar), located approximately 0.59 miles southwest of the project site, and Ron Hockwalt Academies (High School) (476 Lemon Avenue, Industry), located about 0.64 miles to the northwest of the project site. Along the east side of Brea Canyon Road, fronting along both Brea Canyon Road and Lycoming Street is "Farmer Boys Restaurant" (810 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar). Although sharing a common property line, no shared vehicular or pedestrian access is presently provided or proposed. Along the northeast, the project site abuts an existing County flood control channel (PD 1445) (Diamond Bar Creek), separating the subject property from a number of single-family homes located along Dryander Drive (814-898 Dryander Drive, Diamond Bar) (Tract No. 33069). With the exception of two single-family residence (807 and 811 Dryander Drive, Diamond Bar) whose rear and side yards directly abuts the County flood control channel and separated therefrom only by the wide of that channel, Dryander Drive is a single -loaded cul-de-sac with homes located along the north and east sides of the roadway. Except for that home located at the corner when Dryander Drive transitions from an east -west to north -south roadway (814 Dryander Drive, Diamond Bar), because those residences front along Dryander Drive, the street right-of-way provides additional physical separation therefrom. The rear -yard areas of those properties are, at least in part, shielded therefrom based on the structures themselves. A number of additional single-family residences, located along Lycoming Street (21054-21110 Lycoming Street, Diamond Bar) back onto the County flood control channel and the rear -yard areas of those residences are separated from the project site only by the width of that channel. Both Lycoming Street and Dryander Drive terminate on the east near the City's corporate boundaries with the City of Industry. No direct public access is provided at either location. Presented for informational purposes, the associated Los Angeles County Assessor's parcel map associates with that neighborhood is included in Figure 13 (Existing Lycoming Street and Dryander Drive Neighborhoods - Assessor's Parcel Map). The Industry Metrolink Station (600 Brea Canyon Road, Industry) is located approximately'/2 mile to the north of the project site. No existing bus services or other public transit routinely operate along Brea Canyon Road, potentially linking the project site to that trail station.

Although the City presently lumps together a diversity of dissimilar "residential premises" and "commercial premises" under a similar designation, what might be true with regards to a family of flowers is not necessarily true with regards to "hotels." It cannot be said that "one size fits all." As defined in Section 3.16.020 (Definitions) in Chapter 3.16 (Transient Occupancy Tax) in Title 3 (Revenue and Finance) of the Municipal Code, a "hotel" is defined as "any structure or any portion of any such structure, which is occupied or intended or designed for occupancy by transients for dwelling, lodging or sleeping purposes, and includes any hotel, inn, tourist home or house, motel, studio hotel, bachelor hotel, lodginghouse, roominghouse, apartment house, dormitory, public or private club, mobile home or house trailer at a fixed location, or other similar structure or portion thereof." As defined therein, a "hotel" is not clearly definable as a single, entity but includes a wide range of physical structures, including, but not limited to, inns, tourist homes, motels, studio and bachelor hotels, lodging and rooming houses, apartments, dormitories, clubs, mobile homes and trailer when not at a fixed location. As noted in the City's 1995 "Housing Element," a single reference to "hotels" appeared in the context of the potential use of "commercial hotels or motels. . .to house the homeless." 34 Reference to "hotels" (of any type) does not again appear in later versions thereof. In citing that reference, it is not the Department's intent herein to suggest or otherwise infer any such linkage. Additionally, it is not the purpose or intent of this CEQA document to define, on behalf of the Council or the Commission, the meaning of or what constitutes a "hotel" within the City. The information presented herein is intended to assist and support the deliberations of the Council and Commission with regards to the environmental review processes. Because the City's definition of "hotels" and the guest accommodates associated therewith are not definable beyond that broadly sweeping definition, a more narrow description may allow a greater assessment of the potential environmental impacts associated therewith, avoid potential confusion with regards thereto, and, if so granted, facilitate the imposition of conditions associated with the "conditional use permit" (CUP) accompanying the "Planned Development (PD) Overlay District." With regards to the proposed project, because parking and other standards associated with "hotel and motel" projects may directly link to the number, square footage, configuration, maximum authorized occupancy, and/or type of "guest rooms," "rooms," "suites," and/or "units," some definition thereof may be deemed appropriate by the Commission and/or Council. Of those terms, only "guest rooms" is explicitly defined in the 2016 CBC ("A room used or intended to be used by one or more guests for living or sleeping purposes," Chapter 2 [Definitions], 2016 CBC). Although offering limited clarity, as defined in the 2016 CBC, "hotels" and "motels" are defined as "any building containing six or more guest rooms intended or designed to be used, or which are used, rented or hired out to be occupied, or which are occupied for sleeping purposes by guests" (Chapter 2 [Definitions], Part 2, Vol. 1). Although not determinative of all "hotel" types, the Institute of Transportation Engineer's (ITE) "Trip Generation Manual, 91" Edition" (2012) provides peak -parking demand rates for various land I'/ City of Diamond Bar, City of Diamond Bar General Plan, July 25, 1995, Housing Element Glossary, p.

The ITE has provided peak -parking generation rates for five categories of lodgings, including hotels (Land Use Code 310), all -suites hotels (Land Use Code 311), business hotels (Land Use Code 312), motels (Land Use Code 320), and resort hotels (Land Use Code 330). Excluding "motels" and "resort hotels," the following descriptions are presented therein: Hotel (ITE Land Use Code 310). "Hotels are places of lodging that provide sleeping accommodations and supporting facilities such as restaurants, cocktail lounges, meeting and banquet rooms or convention facilities, limited recreational facilities (pool, fitness room), and/or other retail and service shops." All -suites hotel (ITE Land Use Code 311). "All suites hotels are places of lodging that provide sleeping accommodations, a small restaurant and lounge and small amounts of meeting space. Each suite includes a sitting room and separate bedroom; limited kitchen facilities are provided within the suite." "All -suites hotels" are not assumed to be synonymous with "extended -stay hotels" (also referred to as "serviced apartments" and "apartment hotels" [apart -hotel]). To the extent that they authorize consecutive occupancy extending for 30 days or more, "extended -stay hotels" combine the service -related aspects of transient lodgings while providing the longevity available in residential apartments ("residential hotels"). Business hotel (ITE Land Use Code 312). "Business hotels are places of lodging aimed toward the business traveler. These hotels provide sleeping accommodations and other limited facilities, such as a breakfast buffet bar and afternoon beverage bar (no lunch or dinner is served and no meeting facilities are provided). Each unit is a large single room. Business hotels provide very few or none of the supporting facilities provided at hotels or suite hotels and are usually smaller in size." The Applicant has represented the proposed project as inclusive of a business hotel. As defined in Section 50519(b)(1) the H&SC: "'Residential hotel' means any building containing six or more guest rooms or efficiency units, as defined by Section 17958.1, intended or designed to be used, or which are used, rented, or hired out, to be occupied, or which are occupied, for sleeping purposes by guests, which is also the primary residence of those guests, but does not mean any building containing six or more guest rooms or efficiency units, as defined by Section 17958.1, which is primarily used by transient guests who do not occupy that building as their primary residence." As defined in Section 17958.1 of the H&SC: "Notwithstanding Sections 17922, 17958, and 17958.5, a city or county may, by ordinance, permit efficiency units for occupancy by no more than two persons which have a minimum floor area of 150 square feet and which may also have partial kitchen or bathroom facilities, as specified by the ordinance. In all other respects, these efficiency units shall conform to minimum standards for those occupancies otherwise made applicable pursuant to this part. Efficiency unit, as used in this section, has the same meaning specified in the Uniform Building Code of the International Conference of Building Officials, as incorporated by reference in Chapter 2-12 of Part 2 of Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations." In what appears an inconsistent application of the City's zoning provisions, in that it may constitute a "residential premise" and not a "commercial premise" "single -room occupancy housing" (SRO) is identified as a "conditionally -permitted" use in the "Light Industrial (1)" district but neither a Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description September 2019 Initial Study Page 1-59 Packet Pg. 397 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project V--V&. 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAP "permitted" nor a "conditionally -permitted" use in the "Regional Commercial (C-3)" district. SROs constitutes a type of "residential hotel" where single rooms (dwelling units) are rented for sleeping purposes for more than thirty (30) days and may be used by individuals as their primary residence during the term of their occupancy. As defined in Section 22.42.160 (Single -Room Occupancy Housing) of the MC: Single -room occupancy housing shall conform to the following standards: (i) The minimum size of a unit shall be 150 square feet and the maximum shall be 375 square feet, which may include bathroom and kitchen facilities, and shall be limited to maximum two persons per unit. (ii) Each unit shall be provided a kitchen sink with a garbage disposal, serviced with hot and cold water, and a counter top measuring a minimum of 18 inches wide by 24 inches deep. If each individual unit is not provided with a minimum of a refrigerator and a microwave oven, a complete kitchen facility consisting of a range, sink with garbage disposal, and refrigerator shall be provided on each floor of the structure for residents. (iii) For each unit a private toilet in an enclosed compartment with a door shall be provided. This compartment shall be a minimum of 20 square feet. If private bathing facilities are not provided for each unit, shared shower or bathtub facilities shall be provided at a ratio of one for every seven units. The shared shower or bathtub facility shall be on the same floor as the units it is intended to serve and shall be accessible from a common area or hallway. Each shared shower or bathtub facility shall be provided with an interior lockable door. (iv) Twenty -four-hour on -site management shall be provided at an SRO. The applicant shall provide a copy of the proposed rules and residency requirements governing the SRO. The management shall be solely responsible for the enforcement of all rules that are reviewed and approved by the city as part of the conditional use permit. (v) A management plan to address operations, safety and security and building maintenance shall be submitted to the director of community development for review and approval prior to issuance of certificate of occupancy. In describing occupancy, individuals residing in SROs are not characterized as "transients. Because SROs constitute a "conditionally -permitted" use in the "Light Industrial (1)" district, to the extent that a SRO is a "residential hotel," other types of "residential hotels" would also constitute "conditionally -permitted" uses therein. Like SROs, "residential hotels" are neither "permitted" nor "conditionally -permitted" use in the "Regional Commercial (C-3) district. A "condominium hotel" (or con -hotel) is also a form of "residential hotel" where some or all the rooms have been legally transformed into condominium units which are sold to purchasers and where it is intended that the condominium units will be part of the hotel's rooms inventory to be rented to the public and operated by the hotel management. A con -hotel is a development that has the outward appearance and amenities of a traditional hotel but whose rooms (units) may be sold as individual condominium ownerships. Owners of these condo units can use them for varying lengths of time or allow hotel management to rent the units to the general public. Owners receive a share of the rental proceeds. Because hotel condominium units are individually owned and subject to no or varying length -of -stay restrictions, they constitute a quasi -residential land use, with the possibility of functioning part time as overnight visitor -serving accommodations. Under the tax code provisions governing con -hotels, owners can occupy their units for up to 90 days in any given year. The "owners," "tenants," and "occupants" of a con -hotel are, therefore, not characterized as "transient." September 2019 Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description Page 1-60 Initial Study Packet Pg. 398 7.1.g '11.., Brea Canyon Business Park Project DIAMONfl BAR 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 As specified in Section 8.16.020 (Definitions) in Title 8 (Health and Safety) of the MC: Residential premises or residential property means premises upon which dwelling units exist, including, without limitation, single-family dwellings, multi -family dwellings requiring residential solid waste containers (carts) to accommodate the waste generated on the premises, apartments, boarding or rooming houses, condominiums, mobile homes, efficiency apartments, second units, and group homes on residential premises (as that term is defined in Title 22 of this [Municipal] Code). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, in the Diamond Bar Municipal Code, or otherwise, for purposes of this chapter, premises upon which the following uses are occurring shall not be deemed to be residential premises, and rather shall be deemed to be commercial premises: Assisted living facilities, convalescent homes, dormitories, extended stay motels, hotels, motels, and any other businesses not specifically listed at which residency is transient in nature and hence should be classified as commercial premises as determined by city on a case by case basis. Because occupancy is authorized for a term greater than 30 days, in accordance therewith, both a "residential hotel" (inclusive of SROs) and a "condominium -hotel" may be deemed a "residential premise" and not a "commercial premise"; therefore, based on the exclusion of all residential uses (except for SROs) from the list of "permitted" or "conditionally -permitted" use in the "Regional Commercial (C-3)" zoning district, both SROs and condo -hotels do not appear to constitute "hotels" within the meaning and intent of Table 2-6 (Allowable Uses and Permit Requirements for Commercial Zoning Districts), as referenced in Section 22.10.030 (Commercial/Industrial District Land Use and Permit Requirements) of the MC, and would not appear to constitute eligible uses on the project site, based on the proposed change in the zoning designation from "Light Industrial (1)" to "Regional Commercial (C-3)." The two readily definable distinctions between "residential hotels" (as "residential premises") and other hoteliers (as "commercial premises") is the distinction between a "dwelling unit" and a "hotel room." A dwelling unit (whether in a house, apartment, houseboat, trailer, or "residential hotel") can serve as a person's "principal" or "primary residency" (e.g., legal residence for the purpose of income tax). Since a person can have only one such residency for tax purposes, any other location where that person resides constitutes a "secondary residency." Additionally, in a "residential hotel" guests are not restricted to stays of 30 consecutive days or less. In contrast, in all other types of "hotels," tenancy cannot exceed 30 consecutive days in any 30-day period. In a "residential premise," the allowable density (typically measures in dwelling units per acre) plays an important role in determining the nature of the resulting development. As specified in Section 21.30.120 (Residential Density) in Chapter 21.30 (Subdivision Design and Improvement Requirements) of the MC: "The maximum number of dwelling units permitted within a proposed subdivision shall not exceed the density established by the general plan for the site or the maximum number of dwelling units permitted by the applicable zoning district, and may be further restricted by considerations of safety, traffic access or circulation, the slope of the natural terrain, the physical suitability of the site, the nature or extent of existing development, the availability of public facilities, utilities, or open spaces or any other provision of this title." In a "commercial premise" density is not determined by the number of "hotel" rooms authorized under the 1995/2013/2014 General Plan or MC but by floor -area -ratio (FAR). As a result, subject only to any height, bulk, setback, and parking standards established for each qualifying land -use designation, absent minimum room standards and any associated CUP requirements (where applicable), the number of allowable hotel rooms allowable is not regulated by the City. Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description September 2019 Initial Study Page 1-61 Packet Pg. 399 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project V--V&. 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAP Using a similar density formulate as might be applied to a multi -family housing project, hotel density might be simply estimated by comparing the lot size (measured in square footage or acreage) and the number of guest rooms being proposed. Since the City has neither adopted a hotel density standard nor a formula for its derivation, there exists no basis against which to compare either the proposed 83/guest rooms per gross acre (109 guest room / [21,982 gross square feet / 43,560 gross square feet per acre] = 216 guest rooms / gross acre) or the 202 square feet of land area per guest room (21,982 gross square feet / 109 guest rooms = 202 square feet / guest room) density associated therewith. Based on the proposed subdivision, these density calculations are based solely to the building's footprint and are not inclusive of any portion of the larger 200,161 gross square foot common area and reciprocal access agreement (Lot 4) comprising the majority of the project site. In addition, unlike residential development projects, "hotels" include both large amounts of interior space accessible to the public (public space) and interior (back -of -house) areas required to support and maintain the individual guest rooms and their occupants. In the calculation of residential densities, the accompanying leasing offices and recreational centers provided therewith are not included in the establishment of guest room densities. More complexity exists in the calculation of guest room density if the measurement of that density is derived by first subtracting from the equation public and back -of -house areas from the building space assignable to guest rooms. For example, net room sizes typically vary based on the categorization of the hotel. As indicated in "The Cornell School of Hotel Administration on Hospitality: Cutting Edge Cutting Edge Thinking and Practices" (2011), "While an economy hotel may have only 420 square feet (30 square meters) of gross hotel area for guest rooms, a resort hotel may have almost double the area of 780 square feet (72 square meters). The reason for the size difference is twofold. First, the resort's guest rooms themselves are 30 percent bigger (390 net square feet v. 300 net square feet). Second, the resort has a much larger percent of the overall program devoted to public areas and back -of -house areas (10 percent of total hotel gross area for an economy hotel versus 30 percent for a resort hotel)."35 Relative to the spatial allocation between guest rooms and common and back -of -house areas, Table 2 (General Assumptions Concerning Allocation of Hotel Space) presents general assumptions relating to different "hotel" types. Any density limit established by the City based solely on the relationship between the number of guest rooms and the total lot area might influence room sizes, either increase or decrease the size and type of accompanying common areas and amenities, and limit the category of "hotels" that might otherwise elect to locate within the City.

High -quality accommodations and amenities, such as complimentary Wi-Fi, free hot breakfast, and On The RunT1 breakfast bags, contribute to Hampton by Hilton ranking as a leader in its segment." A general brochure describing Hampton by Hilton is included herein as Appendix C ("Hampton by Hilton" Brochure). Most Hampton by Hilton hotels operate under the terms of a franchise agreement and are subject to the terms of that agreement. In accordance therewith, franchisees typically commit to specific design and development obligations conforming to published "brand standards." Those brand standards typically include detailed design, management, training, marketing, and operating requirements. Although "Hampton Brand Standards — United States" (2015) are available to all franchisees, those standards are not presented herein since they are neither enforceable nor supersede City standards. In general hotel parlance, a "suite" is generally indicative of a kitchen or kitchenette, including the hotel operator's provision of kitchenware in each guest room. 2.4.3 "Accessory Retail Uses" As noted in Section 22.14.030 (Planned Development [PD] Overlay District) of the MC: The PD overlay district may be applied to areas where site characteristics and environmental resources, adjacent land uses, or other community conditions may be benefited by site -specific planning or the design of structures that would not otherwise be allowed in the primary zoning district. The standard of "may be benefited" would appear to constitute a relatively low standard since the nature of that "benefit" is left undefined and no manner of quantification is suggested. As such, any declaration of "benefit" by the project proponent would appear to constitute that standard. Independent of whether a MC -compliant or alternative standard is applied, the physical manifestation of that standard and the potential presence of any consequential significant environmental effects warrants consideration under CEQA. Besides the provision of in -room sleeping facilities, kitchens (kitchenettes), and common areas providing a range of recreational amenities (e.g., swimming pool and weight rooms), many hotels provide additional amenities and services for their guests (e.g., self -serve laundries, meeting rooms). In addition to a wide -range of possible commercial amenities, hotel projects can constitute Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description September 2019 Initial Study Page 1-63 Packet Pg. 401 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project V--V&. 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAP a foundation for or a key component of a mixed -use or multi -use center, containing both lodging and other uses, including conference facilities, restaurants, nightclubs, health/fitness clubs, and specialty shops (e.g., gift and souvenir shops) that could benefit from any synergistic relationship thereto. Those uses could exist under either a shared roofline or occur independent therefrom but proximal thereto. It has been reported that 72 percent of new hotel development nationwide consist of "limited - service" hotels of "upper midscale" and "upscale" brands. "Upper midscale" and "upscale" are hospitality industry terms referring to average daily room rates that fall on a spectrum of "economy" to "luxury." A "limited -service" hotel means fewer amenities, such as having a bar rather than a full restaurant. In contrast, a "full -service" hotel offers a full slate of such amenities, such as restaurants, fitness centers, and event spaces." Because the term "hotel" is used generically in the Municipal Code, unspecified is whether the City's definition is restricted to a "no -service" facility or is intended to encompass "limited -service" and/or "full -service" facility. Because CUPS "runs with the land," unless so conditioned and defined, both the service level and the nature of any "accessory retail uses" associated with the proposed hotel could transition over time. As defined by U.S Hotel Appraisers: Limited -Service Hotels. Originally defined as a hotel without restaurant or banquet facilities, the services and amenities offered to guests of limited -service hotels are typically simple. However, these services and amenities have expanded over the past decade, and in today's market a limited -service hotel's range of amenities might include a business center, a fitness room, a guest laundry facility, a market pantry, an indoor and/or outdoor pool and whirlpool, and small meeting rooms. "Budget" limited -service hotels offer no -frills rooms at modest prices. More robust limited -service hotels offer many of the same high - quality amenities that guests would expect from full -service hotels, with one significant difference: limited -service hotels lack a dedicated, revenue -producing food and beverage component. Hence, limited -service hotels typically have the lowest operating costs of all three segments because they don't offer catering services or multiple restaurants. Room rates are typically on the lower end of the scale as well, because demand for limited -service properties generally comes from price -sensitive commercial and leisure travelers. Full -Service Hotels. The most distinguishing feature of a full -service hotel is the abundant provision of food and beverage services suitable for both guests and groups. Full -service hotels, unlike hotels in other segments, typically play a significant role in servicing the meeting and special events needs in their market area. On -site restaurants, lounges, and group meeting spaces with banquet facilities are the cornerstones of the full -service offering. Selective amenities such as spas, elaborate banquet rooms, doormen, valet parking, extended room service, concierge services, and high -end restaurants and boutiques distinguish many full -service properties. These multiple services and amenities come at a higher operational cost for the full -service hotel but they also help the hotel capture more selective demand and command a higher average rate. Groups requiring meeting space are a significant source of business for full -service properties, as are business travelers willing to pay the higher room rates generally charged at these hotels. Leisure and vacation travelers, especially at the upscale and luxury levels, are also a significant market for many full -service hotels. In all cases, full -service hotel guests seek the extra amenities and service levels found only at these properties.37 I'/ Ruch, John, Why Hotels are Often in the Mix of Local Mixed Use Projects, Reporter Newspapers, February 20, 2018. 37/ U.S Hotel Appraisers (http://www.ushotelappraisals.com/services/hotel-asset-classes-full-service-hotels/).

The occupancies range from nonresidential occupancies to hotel/motel guest rooms. Design functions that affect guests range from the "experience of arrival" created through the main lobby's architectural features to the thermal comfort of the guest rooms. Other functions that hotel/motel designs must address include restaurants, kitchens, laundry, storage, light assembly, outdoor lighting, sign lighting, and other items that are necessary to the hotel/motel function. In short, these structures can range from simple guest rooms with a small office, to a structure encompassing a small city.38 As further indicated in Section 100.1 of the California Energy Commission's (CEC) "2016 "Building Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings" (Title 24, Part 6, CCR) (June 2015) (2016 BEES), a "hotel/motel" is defined as: A building or buildings that has six or more guest rooms or a lobby serving six or more guest rooms, where the guest rooms are intended or designed to be used, or which are used, rented, or hired out to be occupied, or which are occupied for sleeping purposes by guests, and all conditioned spaces within the same building envelope. Hotel/motel also includes all conditioned spaces which are (1) on the same property as the hotel/motel, (2) served by the same central heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning system as the hotel/motel, and (3) integrally related to the functioning of the hotel/motel as such, including, but not limited to, exhibition facilities, meeting and conference facilities, food service facilities, lobbies, and laundries. In describing the treatment of accessory and incidental uses, the 2016 CBC noted: Accessory Occupancies. The 2016 CBC allows spaces that would normally be required to be separated from other occupancies by fire -resistive walls and ceiling/floor assemblies to omit these rated separations provided that they qualify as accessory occupancies. A space may qualify as an accessory occupancy if it meets all of the following criteria: (1) Accessory space shall not be more than 10 percent of the area of any floor; (2) The aggregate area of all accessory spaces in the building shall not exceed the base allowable area for non- sprinklered buildings listed in Table 506.2 without increases due to the presence of sprinklers or frontage; (3) The space is ancillary to, directly associated with, functionally interdependent upon, and under the direct control of the main use and would not otherwise take place independently; (4) The room is used for purposes or by persons who are expected to be associated with the main use of the building; (5) The space is not used for a purpose that could reasonably be expected take place independent of the main use; and (6) The space is occupied outside of the regularly scheduled hours of use for the rest of the facility. For purposes of calculating allowable area only, accessory occupancies are treated as the main occupancy they are accessory to; for all other purposes (such as sprinkler and alarm requirements, egress, maximum stories) they retain their original occupancy classification (Section 508.2, 2016 CBC). 38/ California Energy Commission, 2016 Nonresidential Compliance Manual for the 2016 Building Energy Efficiency Standards, January 2017, Section 1.7.8.

The 2016 CBC recognizes that some spaces in a building are inherently more hazardous than others and requires that they be appropriately separated from other spaces with rated construction, protected by fire sprinklers, or both. Incidental uses shall be protected as required in Table 509 even if they would otherwise qualify as an unseparated accessory space. Where the option is available to provide sprinkler protection in the place of rated construction, construction shall still be capable of resisting the passage of smoke (Section 509). Unlike accessory uses, incidental use spaces assume the occupancy of the part of the building they are located in and are not given an occupancy classification based on the use they most closely match from the list in Section 302.1. The aggregate area of incidental use spaces shall not be more than 10 percent of the area of the story they are located in. Where they do exceed this limit, they shall be treated as separated occupancies and be provided with the protection and/or separation as required by Table 509 or 508.4, whichever is greater As defined in Section 22.80.020 (Definition of Specialized Terms and Phrases) in Chapter 22.80 (Definitions) in Title 22 (Development Code) of the MC, "accessory retail uses" are defined as the "retail sales of various products (including food) in a store or similar facility that is located within a health care, hotel, office, or industrial complex for the purpose of serving employees or customers, and is not visible from public streets. These uses include pharmacies, gift shops, and food service establishments within hospitals; convenience stores and food service establishments within hotel, office and industrial complexes." As expressly defined therein, "hotels and motels" can include "accessory guest facilities such as swimming pools, tennis courts, indoor athletic facilities, accessory retail uses, etc." As illustrated in the proposed site plan, the incorporation of a "treats shop" suggests the presence of a use potentially approximating a small "convenience store" where packaged food items, beverages, and other sundries, toys, and souvenirs can be purchased. As proposed, based on the limited size (assumed to be less than 100 square feet) of that space and because it would primarily serve "hotel" guests, unless that or another accessory retail use where to expand beyond the confined illustrated therein, no accompanying exterior signage is assumed and, notwithstanding the additional parking requirements specified for "accessory retail uses" in Table 3-10 (Parking Requirements by Land Use and Use Type), as referenced in Section 22.30.040 (Number of Parking Spaces Required), no separate parking requirements relating solely thereto have been identified by the Applicant or, in its present form and configuration are presently suggested by the Department. As proposed, as currently configured and operating under the same roofline, the "hotel" (Lot 3) does not include an accompanying restaurant, nightclub, specialty shop, or large-scale convenience store. Although Lot 1 (47,828 square -foot general office and medical office building) and Lot 2 (8,900 square -foot medical office building) are presently proposed as general and medical office buildings, the Applicant could seek subsequent City approval to convert one or both of those buildings, or some portions thereof, to non -office -related uses more complementary to the functionality and promotion of a "hotel" project (incorporating other "accessory retail uses"), thus potentially altering the character and characteristic of the proposed project's "hotel" component. Additionally, "ownership," "tenancy," and "occupancy" of the proposed project is not limited only to general and medical office uses. As noted in Table 2-6 (Allowable Uses and Permit Requirements for Commercial Zoning Districts), support services [unspecified], convenience store, restaurant, and personal services [unspecified referenced in Section 22.10.030 (Commercial/ Industrial District Land Use and Permit Requirements) of the MC, a wide range of September 2019 Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description Page 1-66 Initial Study Packet Pg. 404 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project DIAMONfl BAR 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 "permitted" uses (e.g., off -site alcohol beverage sales, business]) are authorized within the "Regional Commercial (C-3)" zoning district.

The State CEQA Guidelines further states that "[a]n indirect physical change in the environment is a physical change in the environment which is not immediately related to the project, but which is caused indirectly by the project. If a direct physical change in the environment in turn causes another change in the environment, then the other change is an indirect physical change in the environment" (Section 15064[d][2], State CEQA Guidelines). CEQA defines "effects" as inclusive of both "direct or primary effects" and "[i]ndirect or secondary effects which are caused by the project and are later in time or farther removed in distance, but are still reasonably foreseeable" (Section 15358[a][2], State CEQA Guidelines). To the extent that the proposed project removes, reduces, or otherwise modifies existing development standards within the City, thus allowing for an increase in the size, bulk, and height of any improvements located thereupon above those standards currently in place and/or allows for the introduction of land uses not otherwise authorized thereupon, those actions might otherwise be exempt from CEQA unless the development resulting therefrom and the property or properties so effect and any reasonably foreseeable consequence of those regulatory actions can be identified. With regards to the proposed action, the physical attributes of the proposed project addressed herein are confined to those that have the potential to elevate to a level of significance under CEQA. Those which do not are either not addressed or not addressed to the same level of analyses. Here, the Applicant has submitted a formal development application with the Department requesting the City's authorization to subdivide an existing 5.73-acre property, including receipt of such additional discretionary permits and approval as may be required for the purpose of constructing and operating a 3-story, 47,828 square -foot general and medical office building, a separate single - story 8,900 square -foot medical office building, and a 4-story, 61,743 square -foot, 109-room hotel (Hilton Hampton Inn & Suites) thereupon. The issuance of building and associated permits for the construction of those uses is generally seen as ministerial actions and, therefore, exempt from CEQA. In contrast, the land -use entitlements that must be in place prior to the issuance of those permits constitute discretionary actions and are subject to CEQA. The CEQA process parallels the entitlement process but, except at the point when the CEQA lead agency's decision -making body is considering taking action on a non-exempt project, is relatively independent thereof. As such, with the primary purpose of disclosing to the public the potentially significant environmental impact associated with a proposed discretionary project, CEQA compels government agencies at all levels to make informed decisions with the environmental consequences of those actions in mind. Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description September 2019 Initial Study Page 1-67 Packet Pg. 405 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project �� 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMONDBAB In general, for descriptive purposed, the proposed project can be described as comprised two separate but interconnected components. The first component relates to the proposed regulatory changes to the City's existing development policies and associated standards governing the use of the project site and the intensity of development thereupon that are under consideration and that are required for any construction activities that might follow therefrom, including a determination whether those changes are reasonably linked to physical changes to the environment which are subject to CEQA analysis. The second component is the actual physical development that those changes presage, including the subsequent construction and operation of the proposed project. Although no representation is made as to which type of developer the Applicant may be, some developers divorce the process of seeking the requisite land -use entitlement from the later development itself. With the requisite entitlements in hand, the development may then attempt to secure a site user who, either independently or in combination with the development, proceeds to "build -to -suite" based on the precise specifications of that end user. Even if not the developer's initial intent, because the presence of a committed end user enhances financing options, separate parties may often be involved in the securing of requisite entitlements and proceeding with the construction. With regards to the proposed project, the only discretionary entitlement now being sought that specifies a precise building configuration and square footage, but does not limit the range of land uses otherwise authorized thereupon, is the City -issued "development review." As specified in Subsection "(a)" in Section 22.48.030 (Application, Processing, and Review) in Chapter 22.48 (Development Review) of the MC: "Development review and administrative development review applications for projects that also require the approval of another discretionary permit (e.g., conditional use permit, variance, etc.) shall be acted upon concurrently with the discretionary permit and the final determination shall be made by the highest level of review authority in compliance with Table 4-1, Review Authority. The review authority may approve, or approve with conditions, the permit based upon the findings outlined in Section 22.48.040 (Findings and Decision)." With regards to any changes thereto, as authorized in Section 22.66.060 (Changes to an Approved Project) in Chapter 22.66 (Permit Implementation and Time Extension) of the MC: A development or new land use authorized through a temporary use permit, administrative development review, development review, minor variance, variance, minor conditional use permit or conditional use permit shall be established only as approved by the review authority and subject to conditions of approval, except where changes to the project are approved in compliance with this section. An applicant shall request desired changes in writing, and shall also furnish appropriate supporting materials and an explanation of the reasons for the request. Changes may be requested either before or after construction or establishment and operation of the approved use. If the matter originally required a noticed public hearing, the review authority shall hold a public hearing on the requested change(s), and give notice, in compliance with chapter 22.72 (Public Hearings). (1) Minor changes. The director may authorize minor changes to an approved site plan, architecture, or the nature of the approved use if the changes: (a) Are consistent with all applicable provisions of this Development Code and the spirit and intent of the original approval; (b) Do not involve a feature of the project that was a basis for findings in a negative declaration or environmental impact report for the project; (c) Do not involve a feature of the project that was specifically September 2019 Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description Page 1-68 Initial Study Packet Pg. 406 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project DIAMONfl BAR 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 addressed or was a basis for conditions of approval for the project or that was a specific consideration by the review authority (e.g., the director, hearing officer, commission, or council) in the approval of the permit; and (d) Do not result in an expansion of the use. (2) Major changes. Major changes involve features described in Subsections (1)b. and (1)c. (Minor changes), above, and shall only be approved by the review authority through a new entitlement application or modification, processed in compliance with this Development Code. Subject to the precise nature of all associated project -related entitlements and any City -imposed provisions, conditions, mitigation measures, and other stipulations associated therewith, operating within the parameters associated therewith, any future revisions to the current development review application could be deemed a "minor change" thereto. Subject to a subsequent determination, a change in tenancy, the introduction of other "permitted" uses, a reconfiguration of the proposed structures, and the transference of square footages there between would not appear to predicate a "major change." Independent of the resulting development, unless otherwise conditioned, if subsequently approved or conditionally approved by the City, the resulting use of the project site would be regulated by the land -use entitlements which include or which may include, but may not be limited to, the approval of a tentative parcel map and the tentative condominium map, the amendment to the land -use policy map accompanying the 1995/2013/2014 General Plan, the amendment to the City's Official Zoning Map, the approval of a CUP, design review, the issuance of a shared parking permit, and the approval of a comprehensive signage program. In that context, the potential direct impacts attributable to the proposed project relate to the "direct physical changes" (Section 21065, CEQA; Sections 15060, 15064, and 15358, State CEQA Guidelines) that the project would predicate. If reasonably foreseeable, the proposed project's potential indirect impacts would include, but may not be limited to, and changes thereto that might have the potential to increase or otherwise alter the nature or severity of those direct impacts. As specified in Section 15162.2(b) of the State CEQA Guidelines, "energy impacts" have been listed as a potential area of inquiry under CEQA. With regards to building height, subject, in part, to placement on the property, tall buildings have a greater propensity to both cast shadows on public spaces and intrude on the privacy of adjacent properties than shorter buildings. Unlike vegetation which can be trimmed or initially selected to minimize the casting of off -site shadows, structures can create immovable conditions that may have long-term implications affecting off - site receptors. Structures that create lasting impacts on adjoining uses could limit the ability of those adjoining uses to utilize solar or other renewable energy sources. With regards to MC -imposed parking requirements, minimum parking standards for general and medical office uses are substantially different. The minimum parking standard for a medical office use is defined as one parking space for each 250 square feet of gross leasable floor area. In contrast, the minimum parking standard for a general office use is one space for each 400 square feet of gross leasable floor area. Office leasing practices suggest that a synergy can develop in a dedicated medical office park in which a diversity of complementary health -related practices coexist. Assuming a shared reciprocity, doctors and other professionals in non-competitive medical practices may refer their patients to practitioners in other fields (e.g., such as a dentist's referral to an optometrist) operating within the same facility under the assumption that a similar referral may also come their way.

The Department has further assumed that the office condominium plan provided by the Applicant remains subject to change, such that either a greater or lesser number of office condominiums may be developed on the project site. Even though minimum parking requirements for certain uses (e.g., fast-food restaurants) may exceed the one space per each 250 square feet of gross leasable floor area assumed herein, that CEQA-based assumption is not intended to limit the range of "permitted" uses that could operate on the project site in accordance with Section 22.10.030 (Commercial/Industrial District Land Use and Permit Requirements) of the MC. Should a subsequent "owner," "tenants," or "occupant" seek the City's authorization to operate a "conditionally -permitted use" thereupon, to the extent that the minimum parking requirement for that use were to exceed the square feet -based assumptions presented herein, that applicant would need to demonstrate to the City the sufficiency of the off- street parking available under the terms of the project's reciprocal parking agreement. A prior development application submitted by the Applicant for the subject property included a "drive -through" fast-food restaurant. During the Department's preliminary review thereof, a number of unresolved design and development issues were identified and, at that time, not resolved to the Department's satisfaction. Either independent of or as a consequence thereof, the Applicant, at the Applicant's sole discretion, withdrew that design option and resubmitted the current development plan. Based, in part, upon those unresolved concerns, the Department has recommended the incorporation of a mitigation measure (Mitigation Measure-3) prohibiting any such design feature on the project site. By prohibiting the incorporation of any "drive through" commercial use on the project site, potential land uses that might materially alter the proposed site plan and exceed the available parking inventory would likely be eliminated. Operating within the confines of the "permitted" uses authorized within the City's "Regional Commercial (C-3)" zone, notwithstanding the Applicant's representation concerning the type and distribution of general and medical office uses therein, retaining the proposed "hotel" use and other freestanding buildings in the locations and configuration now proposed, the Department has elected to view the remaining 56,728 (118,471 — 61,743 = 56,728) square feet of gross leasable square footage with a relative degree of flexibility to ensure that the environmental impacts of those "permitted" uses are reasonably considered herein. In the preparation of this CEQA document, it has been the Department's intent not to unreasonably restrict or otherwise limit the functional operation of the proposed 61,742 square foot, 109-room hotel component or the remaining 56,728 gross leasable square footage of additional uses to be developed on the 5.73- acre site for such "permitted" uses as may be authorized thereupon, such that this document constitutes a supportable basis under CEQA for those existing and reasonably foreseeable future uses. The assumptions upon which this analysis has been based are, however, predicated on that stated maximum square footages identified herein, the maximum number of hotel rooms, the introduction and operation of only those "permitted" uses allowable within the "Regional Commercial (C-3)" zone (excluding the proposed hotel), and the identified building configuration (inclusive of the heights and orientations thereof)."

As proposed, the three building lots would include: (1) 17,237 net square feet, include a 47,828 square -foot general office and medical office building (Lot 1, TPM 82066); (2) 9,542 net square feet, including an 8,900 square -foot medical office building (Lot 2, TPM 82066); and (3) 21,982 net square feet, including a 61,743 square -foot, 109-room hotel (Lot 3, TPM No. 82066). The fourth "common area" parcel would include approximately 198,815 net square feet. An additional 1,346-square foot area would be dedicated to the City in the form of additional public right-of-way to be added to Brea Canyon Road for the purpose of creating a deceleration and turning lane into the project's single point of ingress and egress along Brea Canyon Road. Office buildings are typically broken down into three "classes" of space (Class A, Class B and Class C) relating to three tiers of quality, location, amenities and services. No universal definitions of those classifications exists. Because the classification is primarily a market -based breakdown of space within a general market area, has no direct connection with building code standards, and does not directly related to the precise nature of any City entitlements, the Department is making no representations herein concerning the classification of the proposed office buildings. As represented by the Applicant, a summary of the proposed project's individual elements and spatial components is presented in Figure 14 (Proposed "Brea Canyon Business Park" Project — Project Summary [GAA Architects] [June 7, 2019]). Based on the Department's assessment thereof, as a means of describing the proposed project, the following description focuses on the project's driveway, parking areas, predominant structures, shade and shadow cast by those structures, and exterior lighting and signage. In addition, drainage, including the proposed relocation of those existing County drainage facilities located on the site, is also addressed herein. Project Driveway. An existing approximately 5-foot-wide curb -adjacent sidewalk will be retained along the property's Brea Canyon Road frontage, allowing pedestrians to enter the site at multiple locations. No additional gates, access ways, or other openings will be provided along the property's other property boundaries. Given that it is the location of potential interaction of entry and exit movements, the driveway connection transition, where turning vehicles enter and exit the driveway, constitutes a critical design area. With regards to the proposed site plan, all vehicular traffic, including bicyclists, would enter and depart the site via a single driveway entrance centrally located along the site's Brea Canyon Road frontage. That 28 to 41-foot wide variable width driveway, serves as the designated fire lane and generally extends the entire width of the site. Presently, vehicles traveling southbound along Brea Canyon Road, south of Lycoming Street, can access a common turning lane, located within the central median, before turning left onto the site. Similarly, vehicles exiting the project site can turn left into that common turning lane before merging into southbound traffic on Brea Canyon Road. Modifications to the central median area are proposed which would prevent those turning movements, such that ingress to and egress from the project site would become "right in" and "right out" only.

In combination with the number of in -bound and out -bound lanes and the functionality of any traffic control devices within the site and at the roadway intersection, this is typically accomplished through the provision of an adequate "throat length," defined as the distance from the outer edge of the traveled way of the intersecting roadway to the first point along the driveway at which there are conflicting vehicular traffic movements. Queuing of traffic exiting the project site does not affect the operation of the adjoining public roadways but could affect on -site circulation and accessibility to any parking located within the throat length. The Transportation Research Board - National Cooperative Highway Research Program's (NCHRP) "Guide for the Geometric Design of Driveways" recommends that "parking should not be allowed in the driveway throat area.1139 When turning movements allow multi -directional turning movements, the NCHRP's "Guide for the Geometric Design of Driveways" recommends the provision of multiple exit lanes. In general, driveways serving commercial and industrial sites should have at least two lanes, operating with one lane in each direction. With increasing driveway volume, adding a second exit lane becomes highly desirable in order to avoid excessively long queues and delay. Without two exit lanes, a motorist waiting for gaps in both traffic directions before turning left out of the driveway will unnecessarily block other motorists in the exit queue who could otherwise turn right when there are gaps in the traffic from the left ... Generally, dual exit lane driveways are desirable when the exit volume reaches the level that more than one vehicle will want to exit the driveway within the time interval it takes one left - exiting vehicle to wait for and accept an adequate gap in roadway traffic." While not directly germane to the proposed project since "left in" and "left out" will be prohibited and because entering and departing vehicles are limited to a single turning movement, potential queuing concerns are nonetheless applicable to the proposed project. As specified in Subsection "(5c)" in Section 22.30.080 (Driveway and Site Access) in Chapter 22.30 (Off -Street Parking and Loading Standards) of the MC, relative to non-residential uses, driveways "shall have a minimum paved width of 12 feet for one-way driveways and 26 feet for two-way driveway. The maximum driveway width shall be 30 feet, exclusive of the area provided for a median divider." The proposed driveway appears to exceed that standard and may require either a MCUP or other discretionary authorization with regards thereto. A combined curb -to -curb driveway width of 41 feet is illustrated in the proposed site plan, extending approximately 105 feet eastward from Brea Canyon Road to the first point along the driveway aisle at which there may exist conflicting vehicular traffic movements. At that location, an internal uncontrolled intersection is provided where entering vehicles could either continue eastward via a reduced width (28-feet wide) aisle or elect to turn right or turn left (via separate 28-foot-wide driveways) to proceed to the three on -site building. To the extent that the length of vehicles queuing to exit the project site at Brea Canyon Road were 39/ Transportation Research Board - National Cooperative Highway Research Program, NCHRP Report 659: Guide for the Geometric Design of Driveways, 2010, Chapter 5 (Geometric Design Element). 40/ Ibid. Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description Initial Study September 2019 Page 1-73 Packet Pg. 411 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project V--V&. 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAP to exceed the 105-foot throat length, the turning movement of vehicles at that internal intersection might be impeded should stacking vehicle extend into that intersection. Once on the project site, although the proposed half -width of that 41-foot-wide driveway segment should be sufficient to accommodate both left -through and separate right -through traffic, a poorly positioned single eastbound vehicle could impede other vehicles attempting to travel through that internal intersection, creating a potential situation where entering vehicles might need to queue behind that on -site vehicle and, thereby, impede access onto the project site. Assuming a vehicle length of 19 feet and a separation distance of 5 feet between vehicles, the 105-foot throat length could accommodate only about four (or fewer if trucks were added to the vehicle mix) entering or departing passenger vehicles before stacking might began to block that internal intersection and/or restrict access onto the project site. In response, as depicted in the proposed site plan, the Applicant has proposed the installation of signage ("keep intersection clear") directing motorists not to block that intersections. Because vehicles along the northern and southern legs of that intersection may also be queuing to exit the project site, in addition to the Applicant's proposed signage, the installation of 3-leg STOP controls should be considered along the north, south, and west legs of that internal intersection (eastbound traffic could remain uncontrolled). Although no driveway striping is illustrated on the proposed site plan (suggesting that none is presently proposed, channelization, in the form of a wider turning radius, flared taper, and curbed center island (no design details associated therewith have been provided) is proposed to separate incoming and outgoing traffic. Because the half -width of that driveway segment exceeds 20 feet, exiting drivers may misperceive that extra aisle width as either accommodating two exiting right -turn lanes or providing for separate right -turn and left -turn exit lanes. Traffic conflicts could occur if drivers mistake that added width for the presence of dual exit lanes, attempt to turn left despite the presence of a raised center median, or simultaneously attempt right -turn movements without any accompanying provisions with regards thereto. With regards to entering traffic, except on low -volume, low -speed roadways, the curb radius or flare dimensions should be designed so that normal right -turn entry movements do not have to slow down to a near stop in the through travel lanes on the roadway. Additionally, the driveway needs to accommodate the extra axles and longer wheelbase that leads to greater offtracking41 of trucks entering the driveway.42 With the planned dedication of additional right-of-way and the incorporation of a turning and deceleration lane along a portion of the site's frontage, in -bound trucks should not substantially interfere with northbound through traffic along Brea Canyon Road. Off -Street Parking. As specified in Subsection "(1)" in Section 22.30.040 (Number of Parking Spaces Required) in Chapter 22.30 (Off -Street Parking and Loading Standards) of the MC: "Each land use shall be provided the number of off-street parking spaces required by Table 3-10 [Parking Requirements by Land Use and Use Type]. Additional spaces may be required/approved through discretionary entitlement approval." 41/ When a vehicle makes a turn, its rear wheels do not follow the same path as its front wheels. The magnitude of this difference in path (offtracking) generally increases with the spacing between the axles of the vehicle and decreases for larger radius turns. Offtracking of passenger vehicles is negligible because of their relatively short wheelbases. 42/ Op.

Based on the Applicant -identified land -use mix, the number of available parking spaces is less than the 300 space minimum stall count calculated under Section 22.30.040 (Number of Parking Spaces Required) in Chapter 22.30 (Off -Street Parking and Loading Standards) of the MC. Under Section 22.30.050 (Reduction of Off -Street Parking Requirements for Shared Use): Where two or more nonresidential uses are developed as a recognized shopping or professional center and two or more uses have distinct and differing peak parking usage periods, (e.g. a theater and a bank), a reduction in the required number of parking spaces may be allowed through the approval of a parking permit, provided that the most remote space is located within 300 feet of the use it is intended to serve (as measured along the most direct pedestrian path). The amount of reduction may be up to the amount of spaces required for the least intensive of the two or more uses sharing the parking. A shared parking analysis may be required by the director to support a request for a parking reduction. In compliance therewith, in support of a shared -parking permit, a shared -parking analysis, entitled "Revised Parking Demand Analysis for Brea Canyon Business Park, Diamond Bar, California" (Linscott Law & Greenspan, January 25, 2019), was submitted by the Applicant and approved by the City's Department of Public Works (Public Works). As indicated in the shared -parking analysis, "the peak parking requirement for Brea Canyon Business Park during the weekday occurs at 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM and totals 260 spaces. On a weekend day, the peak parking requirements for the project occurs at 11:00 AM, when a parking demand of 178 spaces is forecast. Based on the proposed shared parking supply of 289 spaces, a surplus of 29 spaces and 111 spaces would result during the weekday and weekend peak hours, respectively."43 The study concluded that "the proposed parking supply of 289 spaces for Brea Canyon Business Center would be adequate in meeting the overall future parking demand based on direct application of the ULI [Urban Land Institute] Shared Parking Methodology for all proposed land uses."" Notwithstanding the findings of the shared -parking analysis, the Applicant has proposed the preparation of "parking management plan" (PMP) which "outlines the proposed allocation of parking supply on site and key parking management strategies to maximize the availability of parking for customers and employees of the center.1145 In accordance therewith: (1) CC&Rs will include a provision for reciprocal access and parking between the three buildings and provide for the maintenance of the parking area; and (2) a reciprocal parking easement or agreement will be recorded which will run with the land.as All parking required to support the proposed project shall be provided within the project boundaries. No curbside parking is presently authorized along any proximal segments of Brea Canyon Road and no changes to that prohibition are planned or proposed. Additionally, although curbside parking is allowable along certain segments of Lycoming Street, east and west of Brea Canyon Road, that parking is not generally intended for use by project users and is neither intended nor required to satisfy project -specific parking demands.

With regards to perpendicular (90-degree angle) parking, the City's "minimum parking stall and lot dimensions" are specified as 9-feet wide and 19-feet long (Table 3-12, Section 22.30.070[4][b], MC). Allowing for a "two -foot bumper overhang while maintaining the required parking dimensions" (Section 22.30.070[8][e], MC), parking dimensions of 9-feet wide and 17-feet long could be provided when abutting a landscaped area. As indicated on the proposed site plan, a total of approximately 53 off-street parking stalls (18.3 percent) are identified as 8-feet wide and 16-feet long. Design details associated with individual parking spaces are illustrated in Figure 15 (Proposed "Brea Canyon Business Park" Project — Proposed Parking Stall Design Details [August 27, 20191).

Where single -loaded parking (parking only on one side of the drive aisle) is provided, minimum aisle width is presented as not less than 26-feet wide. Where double -loaded parking (parking on both sides of the drive aisle) is provided, minimum aisle width is presented as being not less than 26-feet 7-inches but is more typically represented as being 28-feet wide. The proposed project's aisle widths appear to comply with the requirements specified in Table 3-12 (Minimum Parking Stall and Lot Dimensions) in Section 22.30.070 (Development Standards for Off -Street Parking) in Chapter 22.30 (Off - Street Parking and Loading Standards) of the MC. In accordance with the provisions of the 2016 CBC's accessibility regulations and Section 22.30.060 (Disabled/Handicapped Parking Requirements) in Chapter 22.30 (Off -Street Parking and Loading Standards) of the MC, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant parking will be provided for each new structure. As mandated in the 2016 CBC, handicapped September 2019 Page 1-76 Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description Initial Study Packet Pg. 414 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project DIAMONfl BAR 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 parking spaces shall be located on the shortest accessible route to an accessible entrance and shall be so arranged that persons with disabilities are not compelled to wheel or walk behind parked cars other than their own. Where total parking falls within the range of 101- 150 parking spaces, as in the case of the proposed hotel, a total of five handicapped spaces, including one van accessible space, shall be required. The proposed site plan only illustrates two handicapped parking spaces in direct proximity thereto. As a result, at least with regards to the proposed hotel, the location of handicapped parking does not appear to comply with minimum ADA parking standards. As specified in the 2016 CalGreen: "New construction shall comply with Section 4.106.4.1, 4.106.4.2, or 4.406.4.3 to facilitate future installation and use of EV [electric vehicle] chargers. Electrical vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) shall be installed in accordance with the California Electrical Code, Article 625." Section 4.106.4.1 relates specifically to one- and two-family dwelling units and townhouses with attached private garages Section 4.106.4.2 relates specifically to new multi -family dwellings. As a result, neither provision relates to the proposed project. Section 4.106.4.3 (New Hotels and Motels) specifies that "[a]II newly constructed hotels and motels shall provide EV spaces capable of supporting future installation of EVSE. The construction documents shall identify the location of the EV spaces." The number of required EV spaces shall be based on the total number of parking spaces provided for all types of parking spaces provided for all types of parking facilities in accordance with Table 4.106.4.3.1 therein. As specified therein, a total of seven EV spaces shall be required when the total number of parking spaces falls within the 101-150 range. No similar standards presently exist for general and/or medical office uses. As specified in the 2016 CBC, EV spaces shall comply with the following: (1) the minimum length of each EV shall be 18 feet; and (2) the minimum width of each EV space shall be 9 feet. EV spaces, when installed, shall comply with the accessibility provisions for EV charging stations in Chapter 11 B of the 2016 CBC. Based on the proposed site plan, numerically, the proposed project appears to comply with minimum EV charging station requirements. As required under Section 22.40.030 (Transportation Demand Management Program Requirements) in Chapter 22.40 (Transportation Demand Management) of the MC: "All applicable projects shall prepare and implement a transportation demand management (TDM) program which will encourage increased ridesharing and the use of alternative transportation modes. In accordance therein, based on the proposed project's 118,471 square feet of development, among other obligations, carpool/vanpool preferential parking, a bicycle parking/storage area, a carpool/vanpool loading area, a transit waiting shelter, and joint access and shared parking. Because the ordinance does not specify the timing for submitting the TDM program, the Department has discretion as to: (1) when that program should be submitted; and (2) beyond the minimum requirements specified in the MC, the level of specificity relating thereto. Since the requisite information could have implications relative to the configuration of the proposed site plan, at a minimum, the Department has both stipulated the timing for TDM program submittal and formulated specific performance standards relative to targeted reductions in both average daily vehicle trips (ADT) and vehicle miles traveled (VMT). As a recommended mitigation measure (Mitigation Measure-4), more detailed information beyond that incorporated on the proposed site plan shall be required prior to final subdivision map approval.

In addressing the individual buildings comprising the proposed project, issues and impacts relating to building orientation and physical characteristics addressed herein. Not addressed herein are other minor structures including, but not limited to, transformers, trash enclosures, and bicycle storage areas. Relative to the project's main buildings, proposed is the construction and subsequent operation of a 4-story, 61,743 square foot, 109-room hotel (Hilton Hampton Inn & Suites) (Lot 3), a 3-story, 47,828 square foot, general and medical office building (Lot 2), and a 1- story, 8,900 square foot, medical office building (Lot 1). The proposed 1-story office building (Lot 1) will be designed with a minimum 20-foot setback from Brea Canyon Road and 10- feet 6-inches from the adjacent commercial use ("Farmer Boys Restaurant"). The proposed hotel use (Lot 3) will be designed with a minimum 20-foot setback from Brea Canyon Road and the Caltrans right-of-way. Similarly, the 3-story office building (Lot 2) will have a minimum 20-foot setback from the Caltrans right-of-way and an approximately 70-foot setback from the County flood control channel. All proposed setbacks comply with applicable MC standards. The conceptual floor plans for the proposed project's three primary structures are presented in Figure 3 (Conceptual Floor Plan — Proposed 4-Story Hotel Building [Lot 3]), Figure 4 (Conceptual Floor Plan — Proposed 3-Story General and Medical Office Building [Lot 1]), and Figure 5 (Conceptual Floor Plan — Proposed 1-Story Medical Building [Lot 2]), respectively. The Applicant's conceptual landscape plan is presented in Figure 6 (Proposed "Brea Canyon Business Park" Project — Conceptual Landscape Plan). Additional landscape detail is included in Appendix B (Brea Canyon Business Park — Conceptual Landscape Plans (July 12, 2019) herein. 0 Building Orientation. Building orientation relates to the placement of the individual buildings on the project site. Here, each of the three main structures are free-standing structures with no physical connectivity linking one to the other. Based on the proposed tentative parcel map, because the area between each building constitutes a separate parcel (Lot 4) and includes a reciprocal access agreement requiring the shared and non-exclusive use thereof, as proposed, any direct physical linkages between structures would likely be prohibited in accordance therewith. ♦ 4-Story Hotel Building. The proposed hotel has been identified by the Applicant as a "Hilton Hampton Inn and Suites" (Hampton) and, by that indication, may provide certain insights or suggest certain characteristics regarding the nature of the hotel and its operation. Hampton is neither identified as the Applicant herein nor has the Department been presented any documentation affirming Hampton's involvement (e.g., franchise agreement). As a result, the proposed project is not conditioned thereupon and the Department is making no representation as to corporate identity or branding of that land use. September 2019 Page 1-78 The project site is presently zoned "Light Industrial (1)." As proposed, the property would be rezoned to "Regional Commercial (C-3)." The maximum allowable building height within both districts is 35 feet (Section 22.10.040, Table 2-7, MC). The proposed 59-feet 1-inches height of the proposed 4-story hotel, which excludes architectural projections and roof -mounted HVAC equipment, constitutes an increase of over 24-feet (68.6 percent) over existing MC -allowable limits. With regards to "maximum height," as specified in Subsection "(1)" in Section 22.16.060 (Height Measurements and Height Limit Exceptions) in Chapter 22.16 Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description Initial Study Packet Pg. 416 7.1.g It Brea Canyon Business Park Project DIAMOND 9AR 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 (General Property Development and Use Standards) of the MC: "The height of structures shall not exceed the standards established by the applicable zoning districts in Article II (Zoning Districts and Allowable Land Uses)." As the northbound Orange (SR-57) Freeway transitions to the westbound Pomona (SR-60) Freeway, both that transition and the westbound off -ramp at Brea Canyon Road are elevated and provide unobstructed views northward toward those homes located along Dryander Drive and Lycoming Street, west of Dryander Drive. At the Brea Canyon Road overpass, the freeway travel lane is approximately 50-feet above Brea Canyon Road. Except for intervening vegetation, most of which will be removed during project construction, motorists travelling westbound along the freeway have a relatively unobstructed view to the north and west. Existing views of the general project area, including those single-family homes located along Dryander Drive and Lycoming Street, west of Dryander Drive, from the off -ramp and from the freeway connection have already diminished any reasonable expectation of privacy relative to those homes. Notwithstanding existing visual intrusion associated with the freeway, independent of the presence or absence of any established rights with regards thereto, the owners and occupants of single-family residences may perceive an expectation of a reasonable right of privacy both with regards to their homes and, excluding front -yard areas and when side -yard areas abut a street, the privacy of their associated curtilage (i.e., the land immediately outside a home ordinarily consisting of the front-, back-, and side -yard areas, plus the driveway). Commercial and industrial properties would have no similar expectations. Within a narrow definition of privacy, side- and rear -yard areas that were once private may become subject to the evidentiary "plain view" doctrine which holds that "it has long been settled that objects falling in plain view of a [police] officer who has a right to be in a position to have that view are subject to seizure and may be introduced as evidence" (Harris v. U.S. [1968]). As proposed, excluding the outdoor pool area located to the west of the main building, the hotel's exterior dimensions are identified as approximately 291-feet long (extending along an east -west axis) and 65-feet 4-inches-wide (extending along a north -south axis), with the shorter dimension representing the fagade oriented along the Brea Canyon Road frontage. The hotel extends eastward along the Pomona (SR-60) Freeway, paralleling the westbound off -ramp at Brea Canyon Road. At its nearest location, the hotel will be located approximately 170- feet southwest of the existing County flood control channel (PD 1445), representing the site's northern property line. Existing single-family residential units are located along the north side of that channel and are, therefore, physically separated from the subject property by that 50-foot-wide easement. The building's placement effectively serves to screen a portion of the freeway from certain vantage points to the north of the project site, including a number of existing homes along the westerly segments of Dryander Drive and that portion of Lycoming Street west of Dryander Drive. Because, as a line -source, freeway noise will continue to radiate over and around the hotel, as distances move away from the building itself, the noise attenuation provided by the hotel building will be reduced. During presubmittal discussions with the Applicant, the Department sought to avoid or minimize potential visual intrusion upon and the creation of building -cast Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description Initial Study September 2019 Page 1-79 Packet Pg. 417 September 2019 Page 1-80 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project V--V&. 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAP shadows affecting proximal residential areas as a result of building height and placement. In a subsequent redesign, the placement of the proposed hotel away from Dryander Drive and Lycoming Street effectively served to reduce (but not eliminate) potential impacts that would otherwise exist if the hotel were placed in the northern or eastern portion of the property (as initially proposed). No windows have been included along the eastern and western sides of the hotel which might accommodate directional views toward Moonlake and Northhampton Streets (on the west) and/or enhance elevated views toward Dryander Drive (on the north and east). All windows along the hotel's northern fagade are inoperable, thus further limiting views primarily northward toward those homes fronting along Lycoming Street. No exterior walkways or balconies are provided there along which would create a less impeded view toward those residences. Based on the skewed angle of the County flood control channel (PD 1445) (Diamond Bar Creek) relative to the orientation of each home, rear -yard setbacks for those residences vary from approximately 10 feet (21052 Lycoming Street) to 90 feet (21104 Lycoming Street) feet. Based on the angle of incidence, those homes with the largest private rear -yard areas will experience the greatest potential visual intrusion. Landscaping proposed along the proposed northern boundary would be expected to reduce the extent of any such impacts over time. Conversely, introduced landscaping could introduce additional shading concerns based on the height of that vegetation. As specified in Subsection "(1)" in Section 22.20.060 (Walls Required between Different Zoning Districts) of the MC: "Walls shall be provided and maintained between different zoning districts as follows. ..Where a nonresidential zoning district abuts a residential zoning district, a solid masonry wall six feet in height shall be constructed on the zone boundary line." Here, under the assumed premise that the southern edge of the County flood control channel (PD 1445) does not constitute the edge "between different zoning districts," the Applicant seeks to retain the existing 6-foot-tall chain -link fence that presently aligns that channel. The City's Community Development Director "may waive or modify requirements for new walls or walls six feet in height between different zoning districts where a solid masonry wall already exists on the contiguous property if the following findings can be made: (a) The existing wall meets or can be modified to conform to the intent of this section; (2) Suitable landscaping can be installed adjacent to the existing wall to supplement and enhance the desired physical separation; (c) The existing wall can be protected with wheel stops or curbs to prevent vehicle damage, if necessary; and (d) Concurrence of the adjacent property owner can be obtained, to modify the existing wall to meet the requirements of this section" (Section 22.20.060[4], MC). Assuming the retention of the existing 6-foot-tall (wood) perimeter wall along the rear of each residence and the existing chain -link fence separating the subject property from the County flood control channel (PD 1445), absent any intervening landscaping, a section drawing generally depicting views from both the freeway and the top floor of the hotel building (assuming a viewer standing at the window in a fourth -floor hotel room) toward those existing single-family homes located along the south side of Lycoming Street (21054-21110 Lycoming Street, Diamond Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description Initial Study Packet Pg. 418 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project DIAMONfl BAR 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 Bar), west of Dryander Drive, is presented in Figure 16 (Proposed "Brea Canyon Business Park" Project - Section Drawing Illustrating Views from the Proposed Hotel toward Lycoming Street. The "black line" depicts the views from the upper floor of the hotel obscured or partially obscured by mature landscaping. The "red line" depicts the views absence any intervening landscaping and demonstrates that on -site viewers (primarily those in upper floor areas) will likely be able to view certain rear- and side -yard residential areas relative to certain existing residences located along Dryander Drive and Lycoming Street. Based on the presence of the existing County flood control channel (PD 1445) (Diamond Bar Creek), the construction of a nominally higher opaque wall along the property line separating the subject property from the channel would have minimal effect in reducing prospects for visual intrusion. As specified in Table 3-3 (Maximum Height of Fences, Hedges and Walls) in Section 22.20.030 (General Height Limits) of the MC, rear and interior side yards are limited to a height of 6 feet; however, the Community Development Director "may approve up to 8 feet to enclose or screen areas within a rear of a parcel." If present, an 8-foot-tall concrete masonry block (CMB) wall located along the rear - yard areas of those single-family homes located along the south side of Lycoming Street (21054-21110 Lycoming Street, Diamond Bar) and along portions of Dryander Drive (807, 811, and 814 Dryander Drive) would incrementally enhance the privacy of those residences and noise attenuation relative to the Pomona (SR- 60) Freeway. Because privacy impacts are already adversely affected by the elevated nature of the Pomona (SR-60) Freeway and would not be substantially exacerbated by the introduction of the proposed 4-story hotel and 3-story office, the hotel's and the office's incremental contribution thereto would not constitute a significant environmental effect under CEQA. As a result, although acknowledging the presence of a visually -intrusive project -related impact, no project -specific mitigation relating thereto is recommended by the Department. The entire length of the proposed hotel parallels the Pomona (SR-60) Freeway. Although no elevations thereof were presented by the Applicant (Appendix A), because ground -floor hotel rooms are provided along the southern portion of the hotel, window fenestration and the inclusion of at least one exterior door indicates that the ground -floor exterior wall will not be without detail. "Graffiti and other inscribed material" and other forms of malicious vandalism affecting private property constitute a criminal activity (Section 594, Penal Code). CEQA discourages public agencies from engaging in speculative analysis (14 CCR 15145), such as criminality. The Department, however, recognizes that, in certain urban settings, building frontages absent architecturally articulation, have become canvases for graffiti (street art). Although no paint details have been specified by the Applicant, a number of proactive and reactive actions can be taken to reduce the presence and/or remove the existence of graffiti. The Institute for Technical Research Assistance's (IRTA) "Safer Alternative Graffiti Management Methods for California" (June 2014) examined the efficacy of a number of graffiti removal and prevention methods, including blasting systems, graffiti removers, and Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description Initial Study September 2019 Page 1-81 Packet Pg. 419 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park ProjectII,� 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAP protective films and resistant coatings.47 In the event that graffiti should occur anywhere on the property, it can be reasonably assumed that the Applicant, hotel operator, BOA, or such other representative management entity would promptly take responsive actions to remove. 3-Story Medical/Office Building. The project site is presently zoned "Light Industrial (1)." As proposed, the propertywould be rezoned to "Regional Commercial (C-3)." The maximum allowable building height within both districts is 35 feet (Section 22.10.040, Table 2-7, MC). The proposed 50-feet 2-inches height of the proposed 3-story office building, excluding architectural projections and roof - mounted HVAC equipment, constitutes an increase of over 15-feet (42.9 percent) over existing MC -allowable limits. With regards to "maximum height," as specified in Subsection "(1)" in Section 22.16.060 (Height Measurements and Height Limit Exceptions) in Chapter 22.16 (General Property Development and Use Standards) of the MC: "The height of structures shall not exceed the standards established by the applicable zoning districts in Article II (Zoning Districts and Allowable Land Uses)." At its nearest location, the 3-story medical/office building will be located approximately 60-feet south of the existing County flood control channel (PD 1445), representing the site's northern property line. Existing single-family residential units are located along the north side of that channel and are, therefore, physically separated from the subject property by that 50-foot-wide easement. The building's placement effectively serves to screen a portion of the freeway from certain vantage points to the north of the project site, including a number of existing homes along Dryander Drive. Because, as a line -source, freeway noise will continue to radiate over and around the 4-story hotel and 3-story office, as distances move away from the building itself, the noise attenuation provided by the hotel and office buildings will be reduced. Most homes located Dryander Drive front along that street such that rear- and side -yard areas are screened from the project site by the buildings themselves. Three homes (807, 811, and 814 Dryander Drive) are, however, configured so that side and/or rear yard areas may be perceptible from both the freeway and from the top floor of the office building (assuming a viewer standing at the window in a third -floor office looking northward) toward those existing single-family homes, is presented in Figure 17 (Proposed "Brea Canyon Business Park" Project - Section Drawing Illustrating Views from the Proposed 3-Story Medical/Office Building toward Dryander Drive). The black line depicts the views from the upper floor of the office building obscured or partly observed by mature landscaping. The red line depicts the views absence any intervening landscaping and demonstrates that on - site viewers (primarily those in upper floor areas) will likely be able to view certain rear- and side -yard residential areas. Because privacy impacts are already adversely affected by the elevated nature of the Pomona (SR-60) Freeway and would not be substantially exacerbated by the 47/ Institute for Technical Research Assistance, Safer Alternative Graffiti Management Methods for California, June 2014.

As a result, no project -specific mitigation relating thereto is recommended by the Department. Based on the nature of their use and the extended duration of occupancy therein, from an air quality perspective, unlike most commercial uses, residences are recognized as "sensitive receptors." As noted on the proposed site plan, to the north of the proposed 3-story office building, an outdoor seating area is depicted (potentially serving as an area where cigarette smokers would congregate). The northeasterly edge of that area is located approximately 20 feet from the County flood control channel (PD 1445) and approximately 70 feet from the side- and/or rear -yard areas of 807-811 Dryander Drive. Although potentially adverse, based on that setback distance and the extent of existing toxic emissions attributable to traffic and vehicle exhausts associated with the Pomona (SR-60) Freeway, those activities do not constitute a significant environmental impact or public health hazard under CEQA. ♦ 1-Story Medical/Office Building. The proposed 1-story medical/office building is located in the northwestern portion of the project site. The building's setback from Brea Canyon Road varies but is not less than 20 feet. To the north, the building setback is 10-feet 6-inches and would be separated from "Farmer Boys Restaurant" (810 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar) by a 6-foot-tall wrought iron fence. Pursuant to Section 22.20.060 (Walls Required between Different Zoning Districts) of the MC: "Walls shall be provided and maintained between different zoning districts." The adjoining "Farmer Boys Restaurant" is zoned "Neighborhood Commercial (C-1)." Because they both constitute commercial designations, with regards to Section 22.20.060 of the MC, subject to the Council's interpretation, the project's proposed "Regional Commercial (C-3)" zoning designation does not constitute a "different zoning district" than the "Neighborhood Commercial (C-1)" zone. No "solid masonry" wall is, therefore, required between those uses. 0 Operational Characteristics. Uses with dissimilar operational characteristics, such as hours of operation and associated noise levels, can adversely impact other proximal uses where divergent standards are the norm. Here, a "Light Industrial (1)" land use designation abuts both a "Neighborhood Commercial (C-1)" and "Low Medium Density Residential (RLM)" districts. Typically, even when authorizing different intensities of development, similar uses are generally deemed compatible with other categories of uses within that same broader classification. No hours of operation have been identified by the Applicant and no MC -mandated operational hours associated with any "permitted" land use within the "Regional Commercial (C-3)" district. Individual site users would be allowed to dictate their hours of operation and scheduling activities. Excluding "urgent care" facilities which serve to supplement "primary care" facilities, most administrative and medical offices generally maintain an operational schedule extending between 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Saturday, and either no established or lesser hours on Sunday. Non -office -related uses (e.g., restaurants and Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description Initial Study September 2019 Page 1-83 Packet Pg. 421 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project V--V&. 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAP churches) would likely operate during other time periods. Additionally, based on the nature of its use, hotels operate on a 24/7 basis. Maintenance activities, including parking lot sweeping, typically occur outside the typical hours of each commercial center's hours of operation. "Permitted uses" typically found within commercial areas are often intended to serve the needs of proximal residential areas. Except when the operational hours associated with those uses occur prior to 7:00 AM and/or extend past 10:00 PM, including the performance of outdoor maintenance activities, continuing access by delivery vehicles, and the utilization of associated parking areas beyond those hours, potential operational conflicts are generally minimal and most often associated with noise complaints (e.g., vehicle alarms, amplified music, modified vehicle exhaust systems). The existing County flood control channel (PD 1445) provides a 50-foot-wide buffer between the proposed project and proximal residential receptors. Although that separation distance is not sufficient to negate all potential operational conflicts, in recognition thereof, potential impacts remain at a less -than -significant level under CEQA and no mitigation measures have been identified or are presently recommended by the Department. Shade and Shadow. Shadow -sensitive uses include but are not limited to routinely useable outdoor spaces associated with residential, recreational, or institutional uses. Shadows are cast in a clockwise direction from west/northwest to east/northeast from the morning to afternoon. Generally, the shortest shadows are cast during the Summer Solstice (June 21) and grow increasingly longer until the Winter Solstice (December 21). During the Winter Solstice, the sun is lower in the sky and shadows are at their maximum lengths. With the exception of shadows cast by the existing landscaping, existing single-family dwelling located to the north of the subject property do not currently receive a large amount of shadow coverage in the afternoon due to the absence of tall buildings on the subject property. Detailed solar analyses were conducted by the Applicant and the results of that analysis graphically represented in Figure 18 (Proposed "Brea Canyon Business Park" Project — Shade and Shadow Analysis). Because the angle of incidence changes daily, no single day and no single hour can be deemed reflective of annual conditions. The illustration presented herein approximates a reasonable worst -case scenario, reflecting conditions anticipated on December 15th (3:42 PM), near the Winter Solstice. With the exception of three residences located along Dryander Drive (820, 826, and 830 Dryander Drive) all shadows cast by the proposed project either fall within the project site or onto public spaces. With regards to those residents, with single exception (826 Dryander Drive), only the front -yard setbacks appear to be affected. With that exception, roof areas that might accept solar systems, are not impacted in a manner which could preclude the potential for the inclusion of solar panels thereupon. Impacts would be seasonal, such that the extent of such impact is estimated to be limited to the period when winter shadows are the longest. On May 9, 2018, the CEC approved the "2019 "Building Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings" (Title 24, Part 6, CCR) (2019 BEES) requiring that, unless otherwise exempt, starting in 2020, every new home (including hotel/motel occupancies) built in California will be required to have a solar electric generation system or photovoltaic (PV) system installed (Section 110.10, 2019 BEES). The 2019 BEES was approved by the California Building Standards Commission in December 2018. September 2019 Page 1-84 Part I: Introduction, Setting, and Project Description Initial Study Packet Pg. 422 7.1.g It Brea Canyon Business Park Project DIAMOND 9AR 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 As defined therein, the "solar zone" is a "section of the roof designated and reserved for the future installation of a solar electric or solar thermal system." With regards thereto: "(A) No obstructions, including but not limited to, vents, chimneys, architectural features, and roof mounted equipment, shall be located in the solar zone. (B) Any obstructions, located on the roof or any other part of the building that projects above a solar zone shall be located at least twice the distance, measured in the horizontal plane, of the height difference between the highest point of the obstruction and the horizontal projection of the nearest point of the solar zone, measured in the vertical plane" (Section 110.10[b][3], 2019 BEES). Because the 2016 BEES, the 2019 BEES, the 1995/2013/2014 General Plan, and/or the MC do not include any express provisions preventing buildings from encroaching into the "solar zone" of any property potentially subject to those requirement, the resulting impact may be adverse but does not elevate to a level of significance under CEQA. Light Intrusion. All urban light sources contribute incrementally to "light pollution." "Light trespass" or "spill light" is defined as the light shining beyond the area to be illuminated, caused either by the uncontrolled direct component from luminaires or from light reflected from the task being illuminated. The California Energy Commission (CEC) defines "light trespass" as "unwanted light from a neighboring property.1148 Design of lighting installations is possible because light is predictable, it follows certain general laws of physics and exhibits certain fixed characteristics. As specified in Subsection "(9b)" in Section 22.30.070 (Development Standards for Off - Street Parking) in Chapter 22.30 (Off -Street Parking and Loading Standards) of the MC: "Parking areas within commercial projects shall be provided with exterior lighting as follows: (1) A minimum of one footcandle of illumination shall be maintained at the parking surface throughout the parking area. (2) Lighting shall be on a time -clock or photo -sensor system. (3) All lighting shall be designed to confine direct rays to the property. No spillover beyond the property line shall be permitted. (4) Lighting fixtures shall have 90-degree horizontal cut- off flat lenses." As specified, pole heights will not exceed 20 feet. The manner in which light fixtures will be shielded to reduce off -site light trespass is not specified in the parking plan. It is, however, noted that, as illustrated in Figure 19 (Proposed "Brea Canyon Business Park" Project — Photometric Analysis), based on the proposed driveway and parking lot lighting plan, a point - by -point analysis indicates that internal driveway and parking lot light levels will range from 0.9 to 4.6 horizontal footcandle (three feet above the surface) (HFC). Along Brea Canyon Road and at "Farmer Boys Restaurant" (810 Brea Canyon Road), light trespass is expected to exceed those levels specified in the MC (i.e., "no spillover beyond the property line"). With regards to the County flood control channel (PD 1445) and the single-family homes on Dryander Drive and Lycoming Street west of Dryander Drive, spill light levels beyond the property boundaries are not quantified therein. Lighting levels near the northern edge of the proposed parking area, located about 20 feet from the southern edge of the County flood control channel (PD 1445), range from 1.1 to 3.7 HFC. Although light levels at the northern edge of that channel are expected to exceed those levels specified in the MC (i.e., "no spillover beyond the property line"), when properly shielded, the light intrusion would not be expected to encroach onto proximal residential areas. 48/ California Energy Commission, California Outdoor Lighting Standards Synopsis, February 1, 2002, p. 1.

As specified in Subsection "(a)" in Section 22.36.040 (Sign Permit) in Chapter 22.36 (Sign Standards) of the MC: "To ensure compliance with the regulations of this chapter, a sign permit shall be required in order to erect, move, alter, or reconstruct any permanent or temporary sign, except signs that are exempt from permits in compliance with Section 22.36.050 below." As further specified in Subsection "(a)" in Section 22.36.060 (Comprehensive Sign Program) therein: "The purpose of a comprehensive sign program is to integrate a project's signs with the design of the structures to achieve a unified architectural statement. A comprehensive sign program provides a means for the flexible application of sign regulations for multitenant projects and other users of multiple signs in order to encourage creativity and provide incentive and latitude in the provision of multiple signs and to achieve, not circumvent, the intent of this chapter." A "comprehensive sign program" (CSP) is required whenever new multi -tenant developments with three or more tenants use same parcel or structure and use common access and parking facilities (Section 22.36.060[b], MC). In approving a CSP, the hearing officer shall make the following findings: (1) the CSP satisfies the purpose of Chapter 22.36 (Sign Standards) and the intent of Section 22.36.060 of the MC; (2) the signs enhance the overall development, are in harmony with, and are visually related to other signs included in the CSP and to the structure and/or uses they identify, and to surrounding development; (3) the CSP accommodates future revisions which may be required due to changes in uses or tenants; and (4) the CSP complies with the standards of Chapter 22.36 (Sign Standards) of the MC, except that flexibility is allowed with regard to sign area, number, location, and/or height to the extent that the CSP will enhance the overall development and will more fully accomplish the purposes of this chapter. With regards to signage, the following guidelines are presented therein: In determining the consistency of each proposed sign with the purposes of this chapter, the following guidelines shall be applied: (1) That the proposed sign will be legible to the intended audience under normal viewing conditions, based on its proposed location, and the design of its visual element; (2) That the proposed sign will not obscure front view or detract from existing signs, based on its location, shape, color, and other similar considerations; (3) That the proposed sign will be in harmony with adjacent properties and surroundings, based on the size, shape, height, color, placement, and the proximity of the proposed signs to adjacent properties and surroundings; (4) That the proposed structure, sign or display will be designed, constructed, and located so that it will not constitute a hazard to the public; and (5) That the proposed sign is not designed to be viewed from a freeway, unless specifically provided for under the terms of this chapter. Pursuant to the Applicant's "Planned Sign Program for Brea Canyon Business Park, Diamond Bar" (June 6, 2019), as specified and as illustrated in Figure 20 (Proposed "Brea Canyon Business Park" Project - Comprehensive Sign Program [June 6, 2019]), the following five "sign types and sizes" are identified therein: 0 Type 1: Project Identification Monument Sign.

In addition, one additional sign shall be located on the building's rear and side elevations, for a total of four signs. The maximum sign length shall not exceed 17 feet 9%-inches along the front elevation; 15-feet 3-inches for rear elevation; and 12-feet 8'/z-inches for each side elevation. The maximum sign area shall not exceed 124.75 square feet for the front elevation sign; 124.75 square feet for the rear elevation; and 63.75 square feet for each side elevation sign. Lettering style and color shall be either as "nationally recognized corporate logo style (trademark) or custom design (subject to the "landlords" discretion). In accordance with the Applicant's "planned sign program," prohibited signs shall include: (1) temporary signs, window signs, placards, flags, pennants, and banners of any type unless otherwise approved by the "landlord" and the City prior to installation; (2) animated, foam, flashing, audible, off -premise, or vehicle signs; and (3) signs incorporating exposed raceways, crossovers, conduits, neon tube conductors, and transformers. Drainage. The California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region's (LARWQCB) adopted "Order No. R4-2012-0175" (NPDES Permit No. CAS004001), establishing "Wastewater Discharge Requirements for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Discharges Within the Coastal Watersheds of Los Angeles County, Except those Discharges Originating from the City of Long Beach MS4" (Amended 2012 MS4 Permit) required new development projects to: (1) control pollutants, pollutant loads, and runoff volume emanating from the project site by (a) minimizing the impervious surface area and (b) controlling runoff from impervious surfaces through infiltration, bioretention and/or rainfall harvest and use; and (2) unless deemed infeasible, retain, on the project site, the "Stormwater Quality Design Volume" (SWQDv) from a design storm event, defined as the runoff from: (a) the 0.75-inch, 24-hour rain event; or (b) the 85th percentile, 24-hour rain event, as determined from the County's 8511 percentile precipitation isohyetal map, whichever is greater.49 The project site is relatively flat and generally drains to the northwest at approximately one percent slope. An approximately 0.56-acre Caltrans landscaped slope area also drains onto the site. Site runoff flows, via surface sheet flow, to the existing County flood control channel (PD 1445) (Diamond Bar Creek) located to the north of the project site. 49/ California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region, Order No. R4-2012-0175, NPDES Permit No. CAS004001 (Wastewater Discharge Requirements for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System [MS4] Discharges Within the Coastal Watersheds of Los Angeles County, Except those Discharges Originating from the City of Long Beach MS4, November 8, 2012, Part IV.D.7.c.i. 1-2, p. 98.

Storm drain runoff from impervious areas will be directed to surface gutters leading to catch basins and underground storm drain piping. Storm drain piping will direct the runoff to underground infiltration chambers sized to accommodate the SWQDv, representing the runoff generated by a water quality design storm event. Once the infiltration chambers are full, the flow will bypass the chambers and flow into the existing flood control channel via a proposed channel pipe connection. Stormwater runoff associated with an approximately 0.13-acre portion of the project site will flow directly to Brea Canyon Road. Post -project stormwater runoff into the County channel shall be restricted to 1.78 cubic feet per second (cfs) per acre. In the vicinity of Brea Canyon Road and Colima Road, storm flows originating to the south of the Pomona (SR-60) Freeway are transported via two existing 54-inch diameter RCP (PD 1469) beneath the freeway and a point of connection within the project site. Within the subject property, two existing 54-inch diameter RCP storm drains, transitioning to an existing 72-inch diameter RCP, traverse the project site. These pipes generally follow a north -south alignment and discharge to the existing County flood control channel (PD 1445) (Diamond Bar Creek). As proposed, the placement of the hotel building would overtop those pipelines and, therefore, requires relocation in a manner that will maintain existing flow characteristics and provide sufficient clearance from proposed on -site structures so as to allow continuing access to and the maintenance of that system. Proposed storm drain relocation plans are illustrated in Figure 21 (Proposed "Brea Canyon Business Park" Project — Los Angeles County Flood Control District 54-Inch Diameter RCP Pipe Relocation Plans [August 7, 2019]). With limited exception (e.g., an approximately 0.03-acre right-of-way dedication extending southward from the project's common driveway along Brea Canyon Road to accommodate a deceleration and turning lane), Appendix A (Brea Canyon Business Park— Conceptual Architectural Package [June 7, 2019]) only illustrates those aspects of the project that are proposed to occur within the confines of the approximately 5.73-acre project boundaries. Excluding that approximately 0.56-acre Caltrans drainage slope area draining onto the project site, other "off -site" areas are, however, also associated with the proposed project. Based on potential turning conflicts, including the retention of existing access to existing driveway located along Brea Canyon Road serving Discovery World Preschool and Private Elementary School (801 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar), and vehicle stacking requirements along that segment of Brea Canyon Road extending from the Pomona (SR-60) Freeway on the south to Lycoming Street on the north, the proposed project's ingress and egress has been limited to "right in" and "right out" only, meaning that vehicles exiting the project site will be prohibited from turning southward onto Brea Canyon Road and vehicles traveling southbound along Brea Canyon Road will not be able to turn left directly into the project's common driveway. In order to prevent those turning movements, physical improvements to the existing central median along Brea Canyon Road, north of the Pomona (SR-60) Freeway and south of Lycoming Street, have been incorporated into the proposed project. As proposed, vehicular and non -vehicular access to the project site will be provided via an unsignalized driveway on Brea Canyon Road. The existing striping median along Brea Canyon Road allows two-way left -turn movement along the project's frontage. In order to prevent traffic from turning left into and out of the project site, a raised landscaped central median will be constructed in the vicinity of that driveway, extending both northward along Brea Canyon Road and southward along Brea Canyon Road to connect with the existing raised median which is present to the south of the driveway.

As a project component, proposed improvements to the Brea Canyon Road/Lycoming Street intersection include: (1) along Brea Canyon Road, to the north of the project's driveway, the restriping of the northbound (NB) approach to westbound (WB) Lycoming Street to provide an additional exclusive WB left -turn lane; (2) in response to the addition of a second exclusive left -turn lane, to the west of Brea Canyon Road, along Lycoming Street, the restriping of the existing WB lane to accommodate two receiving lanes; and (3) relative to eastbound (EB) Lycoming Street, west of Brea Canyon Road, the restriping of the existing EB shared left/through/right-turn lane to provide an exclusive left -turn lane and a separate shared through/right- turn lane. Subject to the approval of Caltrans and the City Engineer, as illustrated in Figure 6 (Proposed "Brea Canyon Business Park" Project - Conceptual Landscape Plan), the Applicant shall seek to obtain an encroachment permit or such other entitlements as may be required from Caltrans for the installation and maintenance of landscape improvements along that portion of the Caltrans' right- of-way associated with the Pomona (SR-60) Freeway extending eastward from Brea Canyon Road. Subject to Caltrans' approval, landscape improvements associated therewith, including water and electrical connections, shall be developed in coordination with the City Engineer and shall be financed and installed by the Applicant. Upon acceptance by Caltrans and the City and subject to such contract documents as may be associated therewith, the City shall subsequently bear future responsibilities for the ongoing maintenance of those improvements. Unless otherwise conditioned, Caltrans' failure to approve or conditionally approve all associated entitlements, despite the good -faith efforts of the Applicant to secure such approval, would effectively negates the Applicant's obligations thereunder. 4.0 PRELIMINARY CEQA DETERMINATION 4.1 Eligibility for Use of Streamlining The proposed project does not satisfy the specified criteria for the streamlining of infill projects pursuant to Section 21094.5 of CEQA, Section 15182(b) (Projects Proximate to Transit) or Section 15183.3 (Streamlining for Infill Projects) of the State CEQA Guidelines, and Appendix M (Performance Standards of Infill Projects Eligible for Streamlined Review) of the State CEQA Guidelines.

Aesthetics Less than Significant Except as provided in Section 21099 of the Potentially Impact with Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No Public Resources Code, would the project: Impact Incorporated Impact Impact ❑ ❑ ❑ (a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? (b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and ❑ ❑ ❑ historic buildings, within a State scenic highway? (c) In non -urban areas, substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of public view of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are those that are experienced from publicly accessible ❑ ❑ ❑ vantage point). If the project is in an urbanized area, would the project conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality? (d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare that would adversely affect daytime or nighttime views in ❑ ® ❑ ❑ the area? Findings of Fact a) No Impact. The general project area is highly urbanized and can be characterized as currently comprised of a diverse mixture of single -and multi -family housing units, commercial and light industrial uses. A large-scale business park (Industry East) project is presently being developed approximately 350 feet to the east of the project site. Excluding slope areas, the nearest development therein is located approximately 850 feet to the east of the project boundaries. The project site abuts the Pomona (SR-60) Freeway on the south. As it transitions from the northbound Orange (SR-57) Freeway to the westbound Pomona (SR-60) Freeway, the freeway mainline is elevated as it crosses over Brea Canyon Road. Additionally, the westbound off -ramp at Brea Canyon Road descends from that elevated location to connect with Brea Canyon Road adjacent to the subject property's southwestern corner. As such, the freeway is the dominant visual element in the general project area, effectively obscuring views to the south. Similarly, Brea Canyon Road is the dominant visual element to the west of the subject property, disappearing from view to the south as it crosses beneath the Pomona (SR- 60) Freeway. To the west of that roadway, directly across from the project site, the rear -yard areas of a number of single-family homes back onto Brea Canyon Road, separated therefrom by an approximately 6-foot tall concrete block wall. At the southeast corner of Brea Canyon Road and Lycoming Street is a private preschool and elementary school ("Discovery World Preschool and Private Elementary School'). Abutting the property's northern boundary is a concrete -lined, open County flood control channel (PD 1445) (Diamond Bar Creek). Directly across from that channel are single-family homes located along Dryander Drive and Lycoming Street, west of Dryander Drive. Located adjacent to the northwestern corner of the project site is an existing restaurant ("Farmer Boys Part II: Environmental Checklist Form Initial Study September 2019 Page II-3 7.1.g Packet Pg. 449 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project JLv 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAR Restaurant" [810 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar]). Further to the north, the San Gabriel Mountains are visible in the distance. The 19951201312014 General Plan does not define the existence of any scenic vistas within the City. Additionally, neither the City's "Final Environmental Impact Report for the City of Diamond Bar General Plan, SCH No. 91041083" (1992)' (1992 PFEIR) nor "Addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Report for the City of Diamond Bar General Plan, SCH No. 91041083" (1995) (1995 PFEIR Addendum)2 define any scenic vistas within or adjacent to the City or contain any program -level view preservation measures. Because neither "scenic resources" nor "scenic vistas" are defined or addressed in any relevant planning or existing CEQA-compliant documentation germane to the proposed project and/or to the project site, no relevant policies have been established which assist in the identification, prioritization, and/or promotion of the preservation of such resource. Although the City is presently in the process of a formulating a comprehensive update to the 19951201312014 General Plan and preparing an accompanying program -level CEQA document, because those documents have neither been adopted nor certified as of the date of this writing, the information, analyses, and policies identified therein have not considered in the formulation of the preliminary findings presented herein. b) No Impact. The Pomona (SR-60) Freeway is not a State -designated scenic highway. c) No Impact. Although no precise definition is applied thereto, based on the absence of vacant and undeveloped property, the general project vicinity could be characterized as an "urban area. " Because neither "scenic resources" nor "scenic vistas" are defined or addressed in any relevant planning or existing CEQA-compliant documentation germane to the proposed project and/or to the project site, no relevant policies have been established which assist in the identification, prioritization, and/or promotion of the preservation of such resource. d) Less -than -Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. Because the terms "substantial light and glare" and "adverse affect on daytime or nighttime views" are neither defined in the State CEQA Guidelines nor do there presently exist any directly relevant policies in the 19951201312014 General Plan, a determination thereof may be subject to interpretation. Presently, the project site is vacant and, as such, is not an existing source of "substantial light and glare." With the proposed project's implementation, new sources of lighting will be added therein, including exterior parking lot and landscape lighting, interior and exterior building lighting, low-level security lighting, and both ground- and wall -mounted illuminated signage. Light levels associated therewith will remain at levels common within urban areas and will not include the use of beacons or high -intensity spotlights. The most predominate source of lighting, in terms of lot coverage, is that associated with on - site vehicular circulation and the parking lot. Based on a photometric analysis, a point -by -point analysis indicates that internal driveway and parking lot light levels will range from 0.9 to 4.6 horizontal footcandle (three feet above the surface) (HFC). Spill light levels extending beyond the property boundaries were not, however, quantified therein. 1/ City of Diamond Bar, Final Environmental Impact Report for the City of Diamond Bar General Plan, SCH No. 91041083, certified on July 14, 1992. z/ City of Diamond Bar, Addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Report for the City of Diamond Bar General Plan, SCH No. 91041083, adopted on July 25, 1995. September 2019 Page II-4 Part II: Environmental Checklist Form Initial Study Packet Pg. 450 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project DIAMOND BAR 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 Light pollution (obstructive light) broadly describes light that is either perceived as "too bright' for its intended purpose or "shines were it is not needed or is unwanted." The three components of light pollution include sky glow (sky brightness caused by artificial light reflecting off the atmosphere), light trespass (light spilling out of the intended area), and glare (light shining in the eyes causing discomfort or disability). The International Dark Sky Association (IDA) states that "urban sky glow becomes a significant problem when [sky brightness due to artificial light] reaches 0.10 or 10% above the natural sky background'; however, there is no agreed upon objective method for physically measuring overall sky glow and no metric to measure sky glow from a single light source. Relative to light trespass, the IDA has recommended limiting the "exterior lighting originating on a property to a maximum of 0.5 horizontal foot candles at a distance of 25 feet beyond the property line.' Buildings permitted prior to January 1, 2020 must comply with the 2016 "Building Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings" (Title 24, Part 6, CCR (June 2015) (2016 BEES). In accordance with Section 130.0 (Lighting Systems and Equipment, and Electrical Power Distribution Systems — General) in Subchapter 4 (Nonresidential, High -Rise Residential, and Hotel/Motel Occupancies — Mandatory Requirements for Lighting Systems and Equipment, and Electrical Power Distribution Systems) therein, relative to newly constructed buildings: "The design and installation of all lighting systems and equipment in nonresidential, high-rise residential, hotel/motel buildings, outdoor lighting, and electrical power distribution systems within the scope of Section 100.0(a) shall comply with the applicable provisions of Sections 130.0 through 130.5." Specifically, Section 130.2 (Outdoor Lighting Controls and Equipment) relate to outdoor systems. Section 130.2(c) of the 2016 BEES contains control requirements for most outdoor lighting systems, including parking and other common outdoor hardscape areas. Those standards require several different layers of controls that are designed to accomplish different types of energy savings, including: (1) Daylight controls to ensure that lights are turned off during day light hours using photocontrol astronomical time -switch or other controls (Section 130.2[c][1]); (2) Automatic scheduling controls to ensure that outdoor luminaires can be controlled independently and scheduled to be turned off during certain hours of the night (Section 130.2[c](d]); and (3) Occupancy -based multi -level controls to ensure luminaires mounted under 24-feet automatically reduce power between 40 and 90 percent in response to vacancy of the space (typically provided through the use of motion sensors) (Section 130.2[c](31). Several exemptions exist based on space type and fixture wattage. In addition, pursuant to Section 140.0 (Performance and Prescriptive Compliance Approaches) in Subchapter 5 (Nonresidential, High -Rise Residential, and Hotel/Motel Occupancies — Performance and Prescriptive Compliance Approaches for Achieving Energy Efficiency) in the 2016 BEES: "Nonresidential, high-rise residential and hotel/motel buildings shall comply with all of the following: (a) The requirements of Sections 100.0 through 110.11 applicable to the building project (mandatory measures for all buildings). (b) The requirements of Sections 120.0 through 130.5 (mandatory measures for nonresidential, high-rise residential and hotel/motel buildings). (c) Either the performance compliance approach (energy budgets) specified in Section 140.1 or the prescriptive compliance approach specified in Section 140.2 for the Climate Zone in which the building will be located. " Compliance with the applicable provisions of 2016 BEES and City standards will reduce potential sky glow, light trespass, and glare -related impacts to a less -than -significant level. 3/ Kosiorek, Andrew S., International Dark -Sky Association, Information Sheet 76, Exterior Lighting: Glare and Light Trespass, July 1996, p. 2.

Agricultural Resources Less than Significant Potentially Impact with Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No Would the project: Impact Incorporated Impact Impact (a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance, as shown on the ❑ ❑ ❑ maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? (b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ with a Williamson Act contract? (c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined by Section 12220[g], Public Resources Code [PRC]), timberland (as defined by ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ Section 4526, PRC), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Section 51104[g], CGC)? (d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ forest land to non -forest use? (e) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non -forest use? Findings of Fact a) No Impact. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the California Department of Conservation (DOC) distinguish among four basic designations of farmland, which are defined by NRCS and mapped by DOC as `Important Farmlands." Those designations include "prime farmland," "farmland of Statewide Importance,' "unique farmland, "6 and "farmland of local importance. " 4/ "Prime Farmland" has the best combination of physical and chemical features able to sustain long-term agricultural production. This land has the soil quality, growing season, and moisture supply needed to produce sustained high yields. Land must have been used for irrigated agricultural production at some time during the four years prior to the mapping date. 5/ "Farmland of Statewide Importance" is similar to "Prime Farmland" but with minor shortcomings, such as greater slopes or less ability to store soil moisture. Land must have been used for irrigated agricultural production at some time during the four years prior to the mapping date. 6/ "Unique Farmland" consists of lesser quality soils used for the production of the state's leading agricultural crops. This land is usually irrigated, but may include non -irrigated orchards or vineyards as found in some climatic zones in California. Land must have been cropped at some time during the four years prior to the mapping date. 7/ "Farmland of Local Importance" is land of importance to the local economy, as defined by each county's local advisory committee and adopted by its board of supervisors. "Farmland of Local Importance" is either currently producing or has the capability of production, but does not meet the criteria of "Prime Farmland," "Farmland of Statewide Importance," or "Unique Farmland." September 2019 Page II-6 Part II: Environmental Checklist Form Initial Study 7.1.g Packet Pg. 452 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project DIAMOND BAR 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 The DOC adds a designation of "grazing land."' The DOC's Division of Land Resources Protection (CDLRP) administers the "Farmland Mapping and Protection Program" (FMMP), including preparation of `Important Farmland Maps" (IFMs) and performance of biennial mapping surveys assessing the rate and quantity of conversion of designated farmlands to non-agricultural uses. The most recent CDLRP-prepared IFM for Los Angeles County is dated 2016.No such inventoried areas exist upon or in close proximity to the project site. b) No Impact. The California Land Conservation Act of 1965 (Sections 51200-51297.4, CGC), commonly referred to as the Williamson Act, allows county governments to enter into contracts with private landowners who agree to restrict parcels of land to agricultural uses or uses compatibles with agriculture for at least 10 years or a 20-year period for property restricted by a "Farmland Security Zone'n0 (FSZ) contract. In return, landowners receive property tax assessments that are much lower than normal because they are based on income derived from farming and open space uses as opposed to full market value of the property. The term of the contract automatically renews each year so that the contract always has a 10-year period left to function. The Williamson Act was revised in 1998 to offer landowners greater property tax reduction in exchange for a longer contract term. Non -renewal or immediate cancellation does not change the zoning of the property. Participation in the Williamson Act program is dependent on county adoption and implementation of the program and is voluntary for landowners. The project site is not subject to a Williamson Act contract. c) No Impact. The site does not include lands designated as "Forest Land" (Section 12220[g], PRC), "Timberland" (Section 4526, PRC), or "Timberland Zoned for Timberland Production" (Section 51104[g], CGC) or lands meeting those statutory and regulatory definitions. d) No Impact. "Forest land" is assumed to mean lands containing forest vegetation. Until recently (2019), the project site was operated as a recreational vehicle and boat storage use and was extensively covered with impervious surfaces. Prior to 1946 and extending through the mid- 1960s, the property operated as a fruit orchard. As such, project implementation will not result in the loss of forest lands nor conversion of forest land a non -forest use. e) No Impact. The project site is neither categorized as a "Farmland" nor as "forest land. " 8/ "Grazing Land" is land on which the existing vegetation is suited to the grazing of livestock. This category was developed in cooperation with the California Cattlemen's Association, University of California Cooperative Extension and other groups interested in the extent of grazing activities. 9/ As specified under Section 51201(e) of the CGC: "'Compatible use' is any use determined by the county or city administering the preserve pursuant to Section 51231, 51238, or 51238.1 or by this act to be compatible with the agricultural, recreational, or open -space use of land within the preserve and subject to contract. 'Compatible use' includes agricultural use, recreational use or open -space use unless the board or council finds after notice and hearing that the use is not compatible with the agricultural, recreational or open -space use to which the land is restricted by contract pursuant to this chapter." As further specified under Section 51238.1 therein: "(a) Uses approved on contracted lands shall be consistent with all of the following principles of compatibility: (1) The use will not significantly compromise the long-term productive agricultural capability of the subject contracted parcel or parcels or on other contracted lands in agricultural preserves. (2) The use will not significantly displace or impair current or reasonably foreseeable agricultural operations on the subject contracted parcel or parcels or on other contracted lands in agricultural preserves. Uses that significantly displace agricultural operations on the subject contracted parcel or parcels may be deemed compatible if they relate directly to the production of commercial agricultural products on the subject contracted parcel or parcels or neighboring lands, including activities such as harvesting, processing, or shipping. (3) The use will not result in the significant removal of adjacent contracted land from agricultural or open -space use. 10/ A "Farmland Security Zone" (Article 7 [commencing with Section 51296] of Chapter 7 of Division 1 of the CGC) is an area created within an "agricultural preserve" by a board of supervisors or city council upon request by a landowner or group of landowners. An agricultural preserve defines the boundary of an area within which a city or county will enter into Williamson Act contracts with landowners. The boundary is designated by resolution of the board of supervisors or city council having jurisdiction. Agricultural preserves must generally be at least 100 acres in size.

Air Quality Less than Significant Potentially Impact with Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No Would the project: Impact Incorporated Impact Impact (a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the ❑ ❑ ® ❑ applicable air quality? (b) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is ❑ ❑ ® ❑ non -attainment under an applicable federal or State ambient air quality standard? (c) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ concentrations? (d) Result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors adversely affecting a substantial number of ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ people? Background Information In order to more thoroughly assess potential air quality impacts, a detailed air quality analysis was performed as part of this CEQA-compliance effort. The resulting "Air Quality Analysis" (August 2019) is included in Appendix D (Brea Canyon Business Park - Air Quality Analysis). The detailed analysis supporting the following conclusions is presented in that study and, for brevity, has not again been repeated herein. Findings of Fact a) Less -than -Significant Impact. Neither the construction nor the operation of the proposed project is projected to exceed the daily threshold values presented in the most recent update to Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines. Additionally, as mitigation, the project would not result in significant localized air quality impacts. As such, the proposed project is consistent with the goals of the most recent "Air Quality Management Plan" (March 3, 2017) (2016 AQMP) and, in that respect, does not present a significant air quality impact. b) Less -than -Significant Impact. In accordance with South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) methodology, those projects that do not exceed or can be mitigated to less than the daily threshold values do not add significantly to the creation of a cumulatively considerable impact. Because neither the construction nor the operation of the proposed project would exceed recommended SCAQMD threshold levels, the proposed project would not be anticipated to result in a cumulatively considerable net increase in criteria pollutants. c) Less -than -Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. At an estimated 6.05 and 4.21 pounds per day, PM,o and PM2.5 emissions, respectively, could exceed those values presented in the SCAQMD's screening tables, as presented in the SCAQMD's "Final Localized Significance Threshold Methodology" (June 2003). Based on those exceedance conditions, the following recommended mitigation measures (MM) have been identified by the Department: September 2019 Page II-8 Part II: Environmental Checklist Form Initial Study Packet Pg. 454 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project DIAMOND BAR 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 ■ MM-5. Construction Air Quality. Relative to construction -term air quality impacts, all site preparation and earthmoving activities shall be subject to three times, rather than twice, daily watering. ■ MM-6. Construction Air Quality. Relative to construction -term air quality impacts, all heavy earthmoving equipment (e.g., graders, scrapers, heavy dozers) in excess of 240 horsepower shall be equipped with a Level 1 diesel particulate filter. As mitigation, the expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations would be reduced to a less -than -significant level. d) Less -than -Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. The project site is located to the north of and adjacent to the Pomona (SR-60) Freeway. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) reports that this freeway carries 429,000 average daily traffic (ADT) west of Brea Canyon Road and 418,000 ADT east of Brea Canyon Road. Trucks make up about 7.3 percent of that total or about 31,300 ADT. At its closest, the near boundary of the project site is at a distance of about 56 feet from the edge of the pavement area associated with the Brea Canyon Road westbound off -ramp and fly -over. Both the hotel and the medical office building located to the east of the hotel are proposed to have an approximate 20-foot setback from the property line. The medical office building located to the north of the hotel is on the order of about 350 feet from the freeway. All structures are within the minimum 500-foot siting distance recommended by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for freeways that include over 100, 000 ADT. Because the resulting impact is potentially significant, the following recommended mitigation measures have been identified by the Department: ■ MM-7. Operational Air Quality. Relative to operational air quality impacts, the Applicant shall equip all structures with ventilation units with particulate filters with a rating of not less than Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) 9 as recommended by the United States Environmental Protection Agency for automobile emission particles used in the protection of superior residential and better commercial structures, including hospital laboratories. ■ MM-8. Operational Air Quality.

Because the County flood control channel (Diamond Bar Creek) is not a part of the proposed project, no direct impacts to either "waters of the United States" or "waters of the State" are anticipated as a result of the project's implementation. a) Less -than -Significant Impact. The project site is located directly adjacent to the Pomona (SR-60) Freeway and was operated as a recreational vehicle and boat storage lot between 1976 and 2019. Primarily covered with dirt and gravel, only about 16 percent of the site consisted of impervious surfaces. Recreational vehicles, boats, trucks, and automobiles were routinely brought into and removed from the property.

With the possible exception of invasive species, the project site is absent native vegetation. Absent that vegetation, the project site lacks the ability to support any candidate, sensitive, or special status species or sensitive natural community. Based on the level of prior disturbance thereto, no site -specific general or focused biological surveys were conducted by the Applicant or by the Department on the project site. The Department is not aware of any evidence suggesting the potential presence of any protected biological resources, including locally -protected trees, on the project site. b) No Impact. No riparian habitat or other sensitive natural communities has been identified on the project site. c) No Impact. No State or federally -protected wetlands have been identified on the project site. d) No Impact. Since the project site does not possess significant habitat value, implementation would not substantially interfere with the movement of any native species. Similarly, to the extent that the channel serves any function with regards thereto, the proposed project will not interfere with any use of the County flood control channel as a wildlife corridor. e) No Impact. As indicated in Section 22.38.010 (Purpose) in Chapter 22.38 (Tree Preservation and Protection) of the Municipal Code, the 19951201312014 General Plan, "as the overall policy document for the City, requires the preservation and maintenance of native trees including oak, walnut, sycamore, willow, significant trees of cultural or historical value" where appropriate. The purpose of this chapter is to protect and preserve these trees and when removal is allowed as a result of new development to require their replacement. " The provisions of the City's tree preservation and protection ordinance are applicable in all zoning districts and apply to the removal, relocation, and/or pruning of "protected trees, "as provided in Section 22.38.030 (Protected Trees) therein. As indicated in Section 22.38.040 (Damaging Protected Trees Prohibited), except as provided in Section 22.38.060 (Exemptions), no person shall cut, prune, remove, relocate, or otherwise destroy a "protected tree." The topping of "protected trees" is prohibited. As defined in Section 22.38.030 (Protected Trees), a "protected tree" is any: (1) native oak, walnut, sycamore and willow trees with a diameter at breast height (DBH) of eight inches or greater; (2) trees of significant historical or value as designated by the City Council; (3) trees required to be preserved or relocated as a condition of approval for a discretionary permit; (4) any tree required to be planted as a condition of approval for a discretionary permit; and (5) stand of trees, the nature of which makes each tree dependent upon the others for survival. In order to assess compliance therewith, a "protected tree"survey was conducted by a certified arborist. A total of 95 mature specimen trees, plus one Mexican fan palm (Washingtonia robusta), were identified on the project site. Those trees included: (1) 53 evergreen ash (Fraxinus uhdel); (2) 26 California and Brazillian peppers (Schinus species); (3) 7 yew pine (Podocarpus henkelii); (4) four gum trees (Eucalyptus species); (5) two coast beefwood (Casuarina stricta); (6) one evergreen elm (Ulmus parvifolia); (7) 1 European olive (Olea europaea); and (8) one evergreen pear (Pyrus Kawakami).

None were placed as an assemblage and/or accompanied by an associated understory so as to create habitat value. Additionally, of the 95 mature specimen trees, 5 were reported to be "dead and" 90 were reported to be in "poor" condition. Only the Mexican fan palm was reported to be in "average" condition and available to relocate. As such, the project site's existing flora has no or minimal habitat value. f) No Impact.

Background Information The indigenous peoples of southern California area are believed to be Shoshonean People who shared the Numic languages branch of the large Uto-Aztecan language family. In the 1700s and 1800s, the southern California area was shared by three indigenous cultures, including the Juaneno, the Gabrielino, and the Luiseno. Once the Misi6n San Gabriel Arcangel (San Gabriel Mission) was built in 1771, the Native Americans living in or subsequently congregated to that area were referred to as the "Gabrielino" (Tongva) a name derived from the mission with which they were associated. The name "Juaneno" derives from the Spanish Mission San Juan Capistrano, founded in 1776; the name "Luiseno" derives from the Mission San Luis Rey de Francia, founded in 1798. In August 1994, in Assembly Joint Resolution 96 Resolution Chapter 146 of the Statutes of 1994 (Chaptered on September 13, 1994), the State officially recognized the "Gabrielinos as the aboriginal tribe of the Los Angeles Basin." Since 2006, four organizations have claimed to represent the Tongva Nation, including the Gabrielino-Tongva Tribe, Gabrielino/Tongva Tribe, Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians - Kizh Nation, and Gabrielino/Tongva Tribal Council. None of the four groups claiming representation have attained recognition as a federally -recognized tribe.14 Recognizing that multiple organizations have asserted such claims, the City has neither the authority nor ability to adjudicate those claims. As such, all claimants are provided equal status herein. With regards to the Gabrielino, in the "Handbook of the Indians of California" (Smithsonian Institution Bureau of American Ethnology, Bulletin 78, 1925), Alfred L. Kroeber stated: The wider Gabrielino group occupied Los Angeles County south of the Sierra Madre, half of Orange County, and the islands of Santa Catalina and San Clemente. The evidence is scant and somewhat conflicting as regards to the latter; a divergent dialect, 14/ As of May 4, 2016, "567 Tribal entities [were] recognized and eligible for funding and services from the Bureau of Indian Affairs by virtue of their status as Indian Tribes" (81 FIR 26826 [May 4, 2016]).

On the west, the Gabrielino limits — here more exactly Fernandino — against the Chumash were at the watershed through which the Santa Susanna tunnel has been bored; at the coast, between Malibu and Topanga Creeks. Eastward, toward the Serrano and Luiseno, the line probably passed from Mount San Antonio to the vicinity of Cucamonga, Mount Arlington, and Monument and Santiago Peaks; in other words, through western San Bernardino and Riverside Counties — although San Bernardino Valley has also been ascribed to the Gabrielino. Southward, Aliso Creek is cited as the boundary between Gabrielino and Juaneno.15 Linguistic and archaeological evidence suggests that the Gabrielino represent a branch of desert dwellers, or Shoshoneans, who moved to coastal southern California during the first millennium A.D., supplanting or absorbing an earlier group about which relatively little is known. Although the first recorded contact between the Gabrielino and Europeans occurred in 1542 when the Juan Cabrillo expedition arrived at Santa Catalina Island, the historic period in southern California is generally accepted as beginning in 1769 when the Gaspar de Portola expedition crossed the coastal region. The Portola expedition established the first Alta California Mission (San Diego de Alcal6) on July 16, 1769. The first mission to be established in Gabrielino territory was the Franciscan Misi6n San Gabriel Arcangel, founded September 8, 1771. The Gabrieleno encountered at that time were a stone -age people whose subsistence was based upon hunting and gathering. They neither know metallurgy nor practiced agriculture. The population was relatively small, few villages comprising more than 100 souls. The staple food was acorns which normally grew in abundance. The acorn meats were leached, dried, and ground into flour used to make a variety of dishes. Small animals, principally rodents and rabbits, furnished much of the protein. Deer were also hunted. Marine fishes and shellfish were very important in the diets of coastal inhabitants. Technology comprised principally the manufacture of tools and containers from stone, bone, leather, and plant fiber. Most implements requiring a hard, sharp edge were manufactured from chipped stone. These included such items as arrow points, knives, scrapers, and so forth. Implements for milling, such as manos, metates, mortars and pestles were made from groundstone. Traditional containers consisted of finely woven baskets that were lined with tar when waterproofing was required. Pottery was also known during the final centuries of Gabrielino prehistory although it seems that baskets never lost their prominent role in daily lives. The Gabrieleno lived in villages ranging in size from only an extended family or two up to several hundred people. Houses consisted of thatch huts built over sunken earthen floors. Aside from dwellings, villages also had sweathouses which were used daily by the men and seem to have represented important male social centers. Political and social organization was based on groupings called moieties, one practical function of which was to prevent family intra-marriage. Leadership at the larger villages seems to have consisted of a chief, whose position was hereditary, and one or more shamans who tended to religious and medical affairs. It was the intent of the Spanish government to convert the Gabrieleno to Christianity and the padres met with a great deal of success in their early efforts. Many Gabrieleno voluntarily moved to the mission where they were taught farming and received rudimentary educations in European technology. Unfortunately, the Spanish efforts soon led to some devastating side effects, the most well-known of which was the spread of European diseases to which the Gabrieleno had no hereditary immunity. 15/ Kroeber, Alfred L., Handbook of the Indians of California, Smithsonian Institution Bureau of American Ethnology, Bulletin 78, 1925, Chapter 14 (The Gabrielino), pp. 620-621.

Many became virtual slaves while others worked on ranches where they lost touch with their traditional culture. When the Bureau of Indian Affairs compiled its roll of Mission Indians in 1929, only four individuals claimed to be full-blooded Gabrieleno and only about thirty listed themselves as at least one-half Gabrieleno. Included as Appendix E (Handbook of Native American Indians — Gabrielino) is an introduction to the Gabrielino people, as excerpted from The Smithsonian Institution's "Handbook of North American Indians.16 The area now occupied by Diamond Bar, Walnut, Industry, and West Covina were colonized during the Mexican land grant period between 1834 and 1846. Three of the major Mexican land grants issued in that area were Rancho San Jose (granted to Ricardo Vejar and Ygnacio Palomares), Rancho de Los Nogales (issued to Jose de la Cruz Linares), and Rancho la Puente (issue to John Rowland and William Workman). Rancho de Los Nogales encompassed the upper portion of the San Jose Creek drainage where the Cities of Walnut, Industry, Pomona, and Diamond Bar now meet. In 1840, the governor, Juan Alvarado, deeded 4,340 acres, which is believed to have included the project site, to Jose de la Luz Linares. With this Mexican land grant Linares established Diseno del Rancho Los Nogales (Rancho Los Nogales or "Ranch of the Walnut Tree'). That triangular -shaped land grant was located between San Jose Creek and Diamond Bar Creek." Linares died in 1847 and his widow sold a choice portion of the ranch to Ricardo Vejar (grantee of Rancho San Jose) for $100 in merchandise, 100 calves, and the assumption of her late husband's debt, making Vejar the fifth wealthiest landowner in Los Angeles County at that time. After California became a part of the United States, the Mexican land grants were challenged in the courts. As a result, the federal government conformed only 646 acres of Rancho Los Nogales to Vejar. By 1856, a large portion of Diamond Bar reverted to public domain and was available for homesteading. Due to the 1860s drought, Vejar had to borrow money from Isaac Schlesinger and Hyman Tischler to feed his cattle. Vejar was unable to repay the loan and Rancho Los Nogales passed to Schlesinger and Tischler. In 1866, the land was sole to Louis Phillips who sold a portion of the ranch to William "Uncle Billy" Rubottom (1808-1885) who operated a tavern and stage station. This area became the nucleus for the first community in the Diamond Bar -Pomona areas, known as "Spadra. " As noted in the "History of Pomona Valley California with Biographical Sketches of the Leading Men and Women of the Valley who have been Identified with its Growth and Development from the Early Days to the Present" (1920): Mention has already been made of the close relation to this Valley of the colony at El Monte. From this colony came a number of the first families in the new settlement which grew up in 1867-1868 on the Phillips ranch at Spadra. The first of these families to move out from El Monte was that of William Rubottom, known by everyone as "Uncle Billy Rubottom, " who had come, as told before, with other families from Arkansas in 1853. Early in the sixties Uncle Billy had moved to the Cucamonga Rancho and build 16/ Bean, John L. and Smith, Charles R., Gabrielino.

It was at the suggestion of Louis Phillips that he left there and moved to the San Jose Rancho, buying of him one hundred acres of land. There on the Camino Real he build another house and tavern that bore his name. Other families followed, and the place become known as "Rubottom's" because of the Rubottom House. But when a post office was secured it was called officially Spadra, on the petition of Uncle Billy and those who had come with him from the town of Spadra Bluffs in Arkansas. This was accomplished through Ben Truman of the Los Angles Star, who was authorized to locate the station, and who rested at Rubottom's on this tour of inspection. Uncle Billy was appointed the first postmaster on a salary of two dollars a month! No place of the road from Los Angeles to San Bernardino was better known than Rubottom's, and when the stage changed its route, as it soon did, from Mud Springs road to that by way of Spadra, it became at once a busy place ... It was a great day for Spadra when this change in its route brought the Overland Stage through the village. Not only did the stages pass this way, but the Rubottom House became a station where horses where changed and passengers stopped for meals. And the chief event of the day was of course the arrival of the stage. The cloud of dust in the distance and the thunder of horses' hoofs and rattle of wheels, as they approached at a full gallop, gave ample tiding of their coming.18 In 1918, the area south of Spadra (located in Rancho San Jose) became part of Diamond Bar ranch, owned by Fredrick E. Lewis who operated it as a cattle ranch. Soon thereafter, Lewis formed "Diamond Bar Ranch" and registered the "diamond over a bar" branding iron with the California Department of Agriculture which later become the symbol for which the City was named. The Bartholome Corporation bought the ranch in 1943 and the land continued to operate as a cattle ranch. The Bartholome Corporation sold the ranch to the Christian Oil Corporation and Capital Company, which later became part of Transamerica. During the 1960s, Transamerica develop the former ranch which later incorporated into the City of Diamond Bar. "Diamond Bar Creek" would, therefore, not have been so named prior to 1918. Although Diamond Bar Creek may have different origins, historic maps (1888) identify the presence of both a "Main Branch of San Jose Creek" and a "North Branch of San Jose Creek, " including the presence of an unnamed "road" in the general vicinity of the project site.

Ranchers were still predominately along the stream bed and the hills made these natural sites for an artesian supply, man turned to helping Nature again by drilling holes through which this under -water could come to the surface along the valley and we had an artesian well stage. Reference to "Currier" therein is with regards to a 2,500 ranch once owned by former sheriff and senator "Alvan Tyler Currier" (1830-1921), to "Currier Ranch, "and to the "Currier Tract Water Company. " The following description thereof appeared in "An Illustrated History of Los Angeles County, California" (1889): In the autumn [18691, after a summer spent in the northern and middle portions of California, Mr. Currier bought 1,000 acres of the land now making his ranch. He has never regretted his choice. In the fall of 1871 he commenced the improvement of the property. The ranch now comprises 2,400 acres, partly in the beautiful San Jose Valley and partly in the adjoining hills, which are themselves interspersed with valleys. In quality of soil it all ranks number one. Crossing the "Currier Ranch" is a perennial stream of water, the San Jose Creek, which should be mentioned in this connection. It has its fountain head three-quarters of a mile east of Spadra, on the Phillips Ranch. In the first three miles of its flow it is entirely emptied of water by ditches six times, reappearing each time with an increased volume. By actual measurement in midsummer Mr. Currier has for this use sixty-eight miners' inches. This wonderfully beneficent little stream sinks after leaving the ranch only to again reappear and enrich the valley for miles below, before being lost in the San Gabriel River. The "Currier Ranch" is devoted mainly to the production of hay and grain. About eighty head of horses, 200 hogs and 125 head of cattle are usually kept. An average of 1,000 tons of hay is sold annually, and 500 tons are fed on the ranch. The grain production annually is proportionally large. Mr. Currier while making no specialty of citrus fruit, prides himself on having land suitable for their culture, excelled by none in the citrus belt. A small orange orchard of only two acres, which came into good bearing in 1884, has, for its first three crops sold to shipping dealers, yielding an average of $1,000 per year. Mr. Currier owns sixty-six acres of land adjoining the Sante Fe Railroad station ground on the east and north of Pomona. This he has commenced to improve, fifteen acres being planted to deciduous fruits and oranges, and twelve acres with raisin grapes. In the near future the rest of this land will be in orchard.31 The 'A History of California and an Extended History of Southern Coast Counties, California" (1907) reported that "[h]is farming is devoted to fruit, the raising of cattle and draft horses, besides which he harvests large crops of hay and grain. In connection with his ranch he has an orchard of eighty areas, set out to oranges and walnuts. The ranch is very favorably situated about three miles west of Pomona, not far from the stations at Spadra and Lemon, on the Southern Pacific Railroad, and its copiously watered from several artesian wells. 62 31/ Lewis Publishing Company, An Illustrated History of Los Angeles County, California, Containing the History of Los Angeles County from the Earliest Period of its Occupancy to the Present Time together with Glimpses of its Prospective Future with Profuse Illustrations of its Beautiful Scenery, Full -Page Portraits of Some of the Most Eminent Men and Biographical Mention of Many of its Pioneers and also of Prominent Citizens of Today, 1889, pp. 415-416. `/ Guinn, James M., A History of California and an Extended History of Southern Coast Counties, California, Vol. I, 1907, p. 702.

As noted in the "History of Pomona Valley "Nothing could rival the Overland Stage. The trilling story of the gigantic enterprise is bold at length by other writers. Only the salient points in its history need be mentioned here. There were many stages owned and run by individuals and covering various stretches of road across the mountains and plains between the Pacific Coast and the Eastern States, but the great Overland Route was known as Butterfield's after the man who organized the enterprise and later founded Wells Fargo Express. From San Francisco to St. Louis by Los Angeles and El Paso the distance covered by these stages was about 2,800 miles, the longest stage line ever established and successfully operated... The Butterfield Stage was finally abandoned sometime in 1868 or 1869, but other companies continued to run stages over the same 33/ Robin Environmental Management, Phase I Environmental Assessment Report — 850 Brea Canyon Road (APN 8719-013-017), Walnut, CA 91789, January 26, 2018, Appendix C (Historic Aerial Photo Record).

Thus until the coming of the railway in 1874, Spadra was not without its through stage, and after that for a time it was the terminus where the stages from the East met the railway from Los Angeles.34 A portion of the Overland Stage route traversing the project area is illustrated in Fiqure 31 (Portion of the Overland/Butterfield Stage Route [1935]).35 That segment of the "Road to Anaheim" referenced therein would appear to be Brea Canyon Road. With regards to railroad operations in the general project area, historic records (Site 19- 186112) indicate the presence of two parallel of the Union Pacific Railroad (historically the Southern Pacific Railroad and the Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroads). The Southern Pacific was constructed throughout the Los Angeles area in the 1870s and ran through Watts, Compton to Wilmington, and east from Los Angeles, San Gabriel, Puente, Pomona, and Colton before heading to Yuma Arizona. In 1901, the San Pedro, Los Angeles, and Salt Lake Railroad Company was formed. Opening in 1905, the line extended from Los Angeles, to Las Vegas, to Salt Lake City. Some lines ran from Los Angeles south to Wilmington, via Bells and Workman, and east from Los Angeles through Pico, Clayton, paralleling the Southern Pacific line through Walnut, Spadra, Ontario and Riverside. In 1916, the line was renamed the Los Angeles to Salt Lake and, in 1921, the line became the southwestern part of the Union Pacific Railroad. The Union Pacific and the Southern Pacific merged in 1996. Separated by San Jose Creek, two railroad tracks continue to operate between Valley Boulevard (on the north) and the Pomona (SR-60) Freeway on the south. As suggested in a 1930 road map published by the Automobile Club of Southern California and included as Fiqure 32 (Portion of Automobile Roads between Long Beach, Whittier and Pomona [1930]),36 in the general project area, the future right-of-way for the Pomona (SR-60) Freeway appears unrelated thereto. Other maps identify that road section as "Fifth Street." As indicated in an undated pre -incorporation (April 18, 1989) "Sphere of Influence Study XI" planning map prepared by the County of Los Angeles (Regional Planning Department), included, in part, as Figure 33 (Portion of Los Angeles County "Diamond Bar Study Area (Preliminary]" Map" [Circa 1988]),37 located to the west of Brea Canyon Road and south of Golden Springs Road, are "Silver Peak Ranch" and "Otterbein Ranch." The following description of "Silver Peak Ranch" was published in a travel brochure published by the United States Railroad Administration in 1919: In the San Gabriel Valley, near Pomona and midway between Los Angeles and San Bernardino, surrounded by its own orange and lemon groves, is Silver Peak Ranch, commanding an excellent view of the Sierra Madre Mountains. The bungalows are new and offer the luxury of the large resort hotel. It is open only in the winter and spring, and is reached by both steam and electric railways — also by good motor road.38 `/ Op.

Based on the channelized nature of the channel, with limited exception as a wildlife corridor, minimal habitat value is presently assignable thereto.

The project site is highly disturbed and any surficial archaeological or historic feature, including those associated with both prehistoric Native American and historic usage, would have long since been removed. The potential presence of discoverable subsurface artifacts cannot be definitively excluded. NOT TO SCALE Figure 33 PORTION OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY "DIAMOND BAR STUDY AREA (PRELIMINARY)" MAP" (Undated) Source: Los Angeles County Regional Planning Department A 1972 photograph depicts a well -vegetated, unchannelized watercourse associated with existing Diamond Bar Creek.39 Additionally, a 1972 aerial photograph, depicting the Pomona (SR-60) Freeway, continued to show a naturally vegetated Diamond Bar Creek and a not - previously illustrated unchannelized watercourse thereto extending from the freeway northward to a point of intersection therewith. The County subsequently constructed a single 72-inch diameter and two 54-inch diameter RCPs to transmit that drainage to the County flood control channel (PD 1445) (Diamond Bar Creek). Based on the information presented herein, the project site is considered to be sensitive for the presence of both prehistoric and historic resources. Monitoring of future earth -disturbing and trenching activities, particularly those that occur below the depth of surficial fill material, could yield "information important in prehistory or history" (Section 15064.5[a][3][D], State CEQA Guidelines). Because the needless loss of such information could be potentially significant, the following mitigation measures have been identified by the Department: MM-9. Cultural Resources. Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, a qualified archaeologist, meeting the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Archaeology and Historic Preservation (48 FR 44716, National Parks Service, September 29, 1983) shall be retained by the Applicant to oversee the monitoring of initial ground disturbing activities, including all trenching and excavation activities occurred to a depth greater than three feet below surface grades. The archeologist shall conduct earthwork monitoring activities for the purpose of identifying the potential 39/ Op. Cit., Phase I Environmental Assessment Report — 850 Brea Canyon Road (APN 8719-013-017) Walnut, CA 91789, January 26, 2018, Appendix C (Historic Aerial Photo Records).

MM-10. Cultural Resources. If cultural resources are identified during monitoring of the ground disturbing activities, the supervising archaeologist shall be empowered to temporarily halt construction in the vicinity of any such discovery while its significance is being evaluated. All cultural resources that may be so recovered will be documented on California Department of Parks and Recreation Site Forms and filed with the California Historical Resources Information System South Central Coastal Information Center at the California State University, Fullerton (CHRIS-SCCIC). Independent of any resources identified, the archaeologist shall prepare a final report about the monitoring and submit that report to the City's Community Development Director, and the California Historical Resources Information System South Central Coastal Information Center at the California State University, Fullerton (CHRIS-SCCIC), as required by the California Office of Historic Preservation. The report shall include documentation and interpretation of any resources so recovered, if any. The Community Development Director shall designate repositories in the event that significant resources are recovered. MM-11. Cultural Resources. The Applicant shall retain a Native American observer to monitor earthwork activities. The Native American observer shall represent a tribe that has ancestral ties and cultural affiliations to the project site. b) No Impact. Although the County flood control channel (PD 1445) (Diamond Bar Creek) is an unvegetated, concrete -lined drainage facility, USGS maps continue to depict that portion of the channel adjacent to the project site as a `blue -line stream." The continuing depiction of that "blue -line stream" suggests that the channel historically replaced a naturally -occurring watercourse of unknown characteristics that existing adjacent or proximal to the project site and supporting associated riparian vegetation and habitats of unknown quality. The existing channel, as well as the project site, is presently highly disturbed and no remaining evidence of any such past resources remain present thereupon. c) Less -than -Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. Based on a physical inspection of the subject property, there is no information suggesting that human remains may be interred on the project site. If human remains are, however, encountered during excavations, all work would be halted and the County Coroner (Coroner) notified (Section 5097.98, PRC). The Coroner would determine whether the remains are of forensic interest. If the Coroner determines that the remains are prehistoric, the Coroner would contact the NAHC. The NAHC would be responsible for designating the most likely descendant (MLD), who would be responsible for the ultimate disposition of the remains (Section 7050.5, Health and Safety Code [H&SC]). The MLD would make recommendations within 24 hours following notification. Those recommendations may include scientific removal and nondestructive analysis of human remains and any recoverable items associated with Native American burials (Section 7050.5, H&SC). In the event that human remains are encountered, the following recommended mitigation measure has been formulated by the Department: MM-12. Discovery of Human Remains. If human remains are encountered during construction excavation and grading activities, Section 7050.5 of the Health and Safety Code requires that no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has Part II: Environmental Checklist Form Initial Study September 2019 Page II-27 Packet Pg. 473 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project JLw 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAR made the necessary findings as to origin and disposition pursuant to Section 5097.98 of the Public Resources Code. If the remains are determined to be of Native American descent, the County Coroner has 24 hours to notify the California Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC). The NAHC will then identify the person(s) thought to be the Most Likely Descendent (MLD) of the deceased Native American, who will then help determine what course of action should be taken in dealing with the remains.

Updated reports were submitted to reflect those design changes. Seismic Hazards Mapping Act In 1990, the State Legislature passed the Seismic Hazards Mapping Act (SHMA), codified in Division 2, Chapter 7.8 of the PRC. The SHMA was adopted for the purpose of protecting the public from the effects of strong ground shaking, liquefaction, landslides or other ground failure, and other hazards caused by earthquakes. As required therein, the California Division of Mines and Geology (CDMG), now the California Geological Survey (CGS), was directed to delineate the various "seismic hazard zones" located throughout the State. The State's minimum criteria for projects within "zones of required investigation" are defined in Section 3724 in Title 14 of the CCR. As indicated, in part, therein, a project shall be approved only when the nature and severity of the seismic hazards at the site have been evaluated in a geotechnical report and appropriate mitigation measures have been proposed. The CGS' "Guidelines for Evaluating and Mitigating Seismic Hazards in California, Special Publication No. 117A`0 (2008) provided guidelines for evaluating and mitigating seismic hazards (other than surface fault rupture) and for recommending mitigation measures as required under Section 2695(a) of the PRC.41 As defined in Section 2693(c) therein, "mitigation" means those measures that are consistent with established practice and that will reduce seismic risk to acceptable levels." As defined in Section 3721(a) of the CCR, "acceptable level" means that level that provides reasonable protection of the public safety, though it does not necessarily ensure continued structural integrity and functionality of the project. " 40/ California Department of Conservation, California Geological Survey, Guidelines for Evaluating and Mitigating Seismic Hazards in California, Special Publication No. 117A, September 11, 2008. 41/ As indicated, in part, therein, "the Seismic Hazards Mapping Act and related regulations establish a Statewide minimum public safety standard for mitigation of earthquake hazards. This means that the minimum level of mitigation for a project should reduce the risk of ground failure during an earthquake to a level that does not cause the collapse of buildings for human occupancy, but in most cases, not to a level of no ground failure at all" (Special Publication No. 117A, p. 4).

As indicated therein: "Localities most susceptible to liquefaction -induced damage are underlain by loose, water -saturated, granular sediment within 40 feet of the ground surface. These geological and ground -water conditions exist in parts of southern California, most notably in some densely populated valley regions and alluviated floodplains. In addition, the potential for strong earthquake ground shaking is high because of the many nearby active faults. The combination of these factors constitutes a significant seismic hazard in the southern California region in general, including areas in the San Dimas Quadrangle.'42 Liquefaction may occur in water -saturated sediment during moderate to great earthquakes. Liquefaction hazard may exist in areas where depth to ground water is 40 feet or less. In the preparation of seismic hazard zone maps, the CDMG used the highest known ground -water levels 42/ California Department of Conservation, Division of Mines and Geology, Seismic Hazard Zone Report for the San Dimas 7.5-Minute Quadrangle, Los Angeles County, California, Seismic Hazard Zone Report 032, 1998, p. 4.

Liquefaction zones are described as those areas meeting one or more of the following criteria: ■ Areas known to have experienced liquefaction during historical earthquakes. ■ All areas of uncompacted artificial fill containing liquefaction -susceptible material that are saturated, nearly saturated, or may be expected to become saturated. ■ Areas where sufficient existing geotechnical data and analyses indicate that the soils are ■ potentially liquefiable. ■ Areas where existing geotechnical data are insufficient. In areas of limited or no geotechnical data, susceptibility zones may be identified by geologic criteria as follows: (a) Areas containing soil deposits of late Holocene age (current river channels and their historic floodplains, marshes and estuaries), where the M7.5-weighted peak acceleration that has a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years is greater than or equal to 0.10 g [gravity] and the water table is less than 40 feet below the ground surface; or (b) Areas containing soil deposits of Holocene age (less than 11,000 years), where the M7.5-weighted peak acceleration that has a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years is greater than or equal to 0.20 g and the historical high water table is less than or equal to 30 feet below the ground surface; or (c) Areas containing soil deposits of latest Pleistocene age (11,000 to 15,000 years), where the M7.5-weighted peak acceleration that has a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years is greater than or equal to 0.30 g and the historical high water table is less than or equal to 20 feet below the ground surface.as As shown in Figure 24 (Portion of the Geologic Map of the USGS San Dimas 7.5-Minute Quadrangle [1998]),44 the project site is depicted as containing sun`icial surface sediments (Qa).

Furthermore, as the area within fifty (50) feet of such active faults shall be presumed to be underlain by active branches of that fault unless proven otherwise by an appropriate geologic investigation and report ... no such structures shall be permitted in this area.'' The law requires the State Geologist to establish regulatory zones, known as "earthquake fault zones, "52 around the surface traces of active faults and to issue appropriate maps.53 Earthquake fault zones are defined by turning points (e.g., roads, drainages, or other features on the ground) connected by straight lines. The zones vary in width but average about one -quarter -mile wide.54 No APEFZA have been published for the San Dimas Quadrangle. Findings of Fact In accordance with City requirements, a preliminary geotechnical investigation was conducted to assess the feasibility of the proposed development. a 1) Less -than -Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. No "earthquake fault zones" have been mapped in the San Dimas 7.5-Minute Quadrangle. Based on the absence of known active faults on the project site, the potential for ground rupture due to faulting is considered to be unlikely." The most significant faults in the general project area include the San Jose, Elsinore, Chino, and Coyote Hills Faults, located approximately 3, 5, 6, and 7 miles from the site, respectively. Based on the findings of the geotechnical investigation, the project site could be subjected 48/ This definition does not mean that faults lacking evidence for surface displacement within Holocene time are necessarily inactive (California Department of Conservation, California Geological Survey, Fault -Rupture Hazard Zones in California, Special Publication 42, Interim Revision 2007, p. 5). 49/ Section 3601(a)-(b), CCR. 50/ Section 2621.5, PRC and Section 3603(a), CCR. 51/ Section 3603(a), CCR. 52/ "Earthquake fault zones" are regulatory zones that encompass surface traces of active faults that have a potential for future surface rupture. A "surface rupture" is the breakage of ground along the surface trace of a fault caused by the intersection of the fault surface area ruptured in an earthquake with the Earth's surface. Areas that are so designated contain active faults that may pose a risk of surface rupture to existing or future structures. If a property is undeveloped, a fault study may be required before the parcel can be subdivided or before most structures can be permitted. If a property is developed, the APEFZA requires that all real estate transactions within the earthquake fault zone must contain a disclosure of those potential hazards by the seller to prospective buyers. `/ The California Geological Survey (CGS), previously the CDMG, administers the APEFZA. As required, the State Geologist maps special study zones along potentially active and recently active fault traces. The zones are ordinarily less than 396 meters (one -quarter mile) wide unless special considerations indicate the need for a greater wide. Once the special study zone maps have been officially issued, local jurisdictions must require geologic reports prior to most new construction within those zones. 54/ California Department of Conservation, Division of Mines and Geology, Fault -Rupture Hazard Zones in California, Special Publication 42, Revised 1997, Supplements 1 and 2 added in 1999, p. 6. 55/ Geotechnical Professionals, Inc., Report of Geotechnical Investigation, Proposed Brea Canyon Business Park, 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California, July 11, 2017, p. 5.

The predominant earthquake magnitude was determined using a 2-percent probability of exceedance in a 50-year period. In accordance therewith, structural design will need to incorporate measures to mitigate the effects of strong ground motion.56 In response thereto, the following recommended mitigation measure has been formulated by the Department: MM-13. Geology and Soils. All buildings will conform to applicable "Earthquake Design Regulations" specified in Section 1613 in Chapter 16 (Structural Design) of the 2016 California Building Code and, unless otherwise waived or superseded, all development activities conducted on the project site shall conform to and be consistent with the recommended seismic parameters and recommended design and development standards identified in the following technical studies: (1) "Response to Geotechnical Review Comments — Proposed Brea Canyon Business Park, 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California" (Geotechnical Professionals, Inc., June 11, 2019); (2) "Update No. 3 to Geotechnical Review Comments — Proposed Brea Canyon Business Park, 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California" (Geotechnical Professionals, Inc., April4, 2019); (3) "Supplemental Geotechnical Investigation, Proposed Brea Canyon Business Park, Lot 2 — Medical Office Building, 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California" (Geotechnical Professionals, Inc., March 15, 2019); (4) "Update to Geotechnical Review Comments — Proposed Brea Canyon Business Park, 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California" (Geotechnical Professionals, Inc., November 13, 2017); (5) "Supplemental Geotechnical Investigation, Proposed Brea Canyon Business 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California" (Geotechnical Professionals, Inc., September 6, 2017); (6) "Percolation/Infiltration Testing - Proposed Brea Canyon Business 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California" Geotechnical Professionals, Inc., July 12, 2017); (7) "Report of Geotechnical Investigation, Proposed Brea Canyon Business Park, 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California" (Geotechnical Professionals, Inc., July 11, 2017); and/or (8) Such additional actions and recommendations as may be approved by the City Engineer based on further technical analyses conducted by or for the City Engineer, including the findings of more detailed project -specific seismic, soils, geologic, and geotechnical investigations. a2) Less -than -Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated.

The 2016 CBC, codified in Part 2 in Title 24 of the CCR, was promulgated to safeguard the public health, safety, and general welfare by establishing minimum standards related to structural strength and general building stability by regulating and controlling the design, construction, quality of materials, use, occupancy, location, and maintenance of buildings and structures. The 2016 CBC contained amendments based on the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) "Minimum Design Standards 7.05." ASCE 7.05 provided 56/ Ibid. Part II: Environmental Checklist Form Initial Study September 2019 Page II-35 Packet Pg. 481 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project JLv 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAR requirements for general structural design and included means for determining earthquake loads. Those earthquake design requirements took into account the occupancy category, site class, soil classifications, and various seismic coefficients to determine a Seismic Design Category (SDC) for a project. The SDC is a classification system that combines the occupancy categories with the level of expected ground motion at a given site. Design specifications are then determined according to the SDC. As indicated in Section 1613A (Earthquake Loads) in Chapter 16A (Structural Design) of Division IV of the 2016 CBC: "Every structure, and portion thereof, including nonstructural components attached to structures and their supports and attachments, shall be designed and constructed to resist the effects of ground motions in accordance with ASCE 7 with all the modifications incorporated herein... The seismic design category for structures shall be determined with Section 1613A."As a result, although sufficient design standards exist to ensure that the proposed project will be designed and constructed in recognition of the anticipated occurrence of ground motion, a recommended mitigation measure (My-13) has been formulated by the Department for the purpose of mitigating potential ground motion hazards and, upon implementation, reduce potential hazards to a less -than -significant level. a3) Less -than -Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. Relative to the project site, a historically high groundwater depth of 20 feet has been identified by the State. Based on exploratory investigations conducted on June 8, 2017 and identified in the project's geotechnical investigation, groundwater was encountered at depths of 28 to 33 feet below existing grades.57 The project's geotechnical investigated indicated "a potential for liquefaction of layers of sandy soils at the northwest corner of the project site" and "predicted IX inches of liquefaction settlement at the location of the CPT [Cone Penetration Test] C-1 using the CLiq computer program. CLiq predicted less than % inch liquefaction at the remaining 6 CPT's at the site.'$ Liquefaction hazards primarily exist in the area of the proposed single -story office building. Based on the findings of a supplemental geotechnical analysis, the following actions were identified. In order to help mitigate the seismic settlements (total and differential) at the site after remedial grading, the Structural Engineer should consider the following for the single -story building: [1] Pad footings tied -together -laterally with grade beams; [2] Additional reinforcement in continuous footings; [3] Slab -on -grade floors of a minimum of 5 inches thick; [4] Additional reinforcement in floor slab; [5] Dowel connection between footing and floor slab. The above items will help mitigate the potential liquefaction settlements for spread footings and slab on grade floors in the event of a design level earthquake. The actual method of structural mitigation should be determined by the Project Structural Engineer. Ground improvement may also be used to mitigate the potential liquefaction settlements if the static and seismic settlements (total and differential) presented in this supplemental report are beyond the structural mitigation methods provided above. If a ground improvement method is selected for the magnitude of seismic 57/ Geotechnical Professionals, Inc., Report of Geotechnical Investigation, Proposed Brea Canyon Business Park, 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California, July 11, 2017, pp. 5-6. 58/ Geotechnical Professionals, Inc., Supplemental Geotechnical Investigation, Proposed Brea Canyon Business Park, Lot 2 — Medical Office Building, 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California, March 15, 2019.

Ground improvement would likely be needed over one -quarter to one-half of the building pad to reduce settlements to an acceptable magnitude for the Structural Engineer. Ground modification is designed and constructed by specialty design/build contractors utilizing their proprietary methods.59 A recommended mitigation measure (MY-13 has been formulated by the Department for the purpose of mitigating potential liquefaction hazards and, upon implementation, reduce potential hazards to a less -than -significant level. a4) No Impact. The project site is not located within a zone of potential earthquake -induced landslide hazards based on the CDMG's "Portion of the Geologic Map of the USGS San Dimas 7.5-Minute Quadrangle [19981" (Fi ure 24 . b) Less -than -Significant Impact. The project site has previously been cleared and made ready for development. As a result, the potential presently exists for soil erosion. Those conditions will be exacerbated during construction. Construction activities remain subject to SCAQMD's Rule 403 which establishes requirements for dust control associated with grading and construction activities. On November8, 2012, superseding "Order No. 01-182"as amended, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region (LARWQCB) adopted "Order No. R4- 2012-0175" (NPDES Permit No. CAS004001), establishing "Wastewater Discharge Requirements for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Discharges Within the Coastal Watersheds of Los Angeles County, Except those Discharges Originating from the City of Long Beach MS4" (Amended 2012 MS4 Permit). The Amended 2012 MS4 Permit became effective on December 28, 2012. As specified in Part VI.D.8.1 (Development Construction Program) of the Amended 2012 MS4 Permit: (a) Each Permittee shall develop, implement, and enforce a construction program that: (i) Prevents illicit construction -related discharges of pollutants into the MS4 [municipal separate storm sewer systems] and receiving waters. (ii) Implements and maintains structural and non-structural BMPs [Best Management Practices] to reduce pollutants in storm water runoff from construction sites. (iii) Reduces construction site discharges of pollutants to the MS4 to the MEP [maximum extent practicable]. (iv) Prevents construction site discharges to the MS4 from causing or contributing to a violation of water quality standards. (b) Each Permittee shall establish for its jurisdiction an enforceable erosion and sediment control ordinance for all construction sites that disturb soil. Prior to issuing a grading or building permit, each Permittee shall require each operator of a construction activity within its jurisdiction to prepare and submit an "erosion and sediment control plan" (ESCP) prior to the disturbance of land for the Permittee's review and written approval. The construction site operator shall be prohibited from commencing construction activity prior to receipt of written approval by the Permittee. 59i Ibid., p. 3. Part II: Environmental Checklist Form Initial Study September 2019 Page II-37 Packet Pg. 483 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project JLv 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAR ESCPs are year-round BMPs that must be incorporated into construction plans. All grading projects, non-residential sites, residential sites of 6 stories or greater, and projects with soil disturbing activities greater than one acre require an ESCP. All BMPs must be detailed on the ESCP or reference standard details found in the California Stormwater Quality Association's (CASQA) "Stormwater Best Management Practice Handbook — Construction" (January 2003, revised July 2012) and/or the Caltrans' "Construction Site Monitoring Program Guidance Manual" (revised August 2013). The ESCP plan must include appropriate BMPs for general site management, construction materials and waste management, and erosion and sediment controls. Erosion and sediment control BMPs must be provided for both wet and dry seasons. To control site erosion and sediments, an ESCP must be submitted (or revised) every year to reflect site conditions at the start of the rainy season (October 15). Grading and building plans in for plan check, which will have construction work occurring during the rainy season, will not be permitted until ESCP are submitted and approved. For sites where the disturbed area is one acre or more, project proponents must file a "Notice of Intent" (NOI) and a "stormwater pollution prevention plan" (SWPPP) and obtain a waste discharge identification number with the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). c) Less -than -Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. "Unstable" soil conditions can be attributable to a number of possible causes, including, but not limited to, on -site landslides, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, and collapse. Each of these factors are separately addressed below. On -Site Landslides. As illustrated in Figure 34 (Portion of the Earthquake Zones of Required Investigation — San Dimas Quadrangle [March 25, 1999]), no earthquake - induced landslide hazards have been identified on the project site. Lateral Spreading. Lateral spreading is the permanent lateral deformation of soils during liquefaction, typically on the order of inches to feet. Lateral spreading occurs when ground shaking causes the driving shear stresses demand to temporarily exceed the undrained shear strength, causing an accumulation of displacement in the direction of the static shear stress. Static shear stresses are present in slopes or in level ground near a free -face. Lateral movement of the soil can result in a wide range of structural damage, ranging from none when ground displacement is small or the structure is resistant to partial or complete collapse when lateral spreading demands exceed structural capacity. As indicated in the project's geotechnical investigation: September 2019 Page II-38 Lateral spreading is the differential movement of the ground surface due to open face excavations. The drainage channel on the east side of the site is an open face excavation with an estimated depth on the order of approximately 10 to 15 feet. The project site is essentially flat with an estimated ground slope of 1 percent toward the southeast. Lateral spreading requires continuous liquefiable layers throughout to the drainage channel. At the northwest portion of the site, the liquefiable layer liquefaction is at a depth of approximately 20 to 25 feet below existing grade. Several CPT's [sic] performed between the drainage channel and CPT C-1 Part II: Environmental Checklist Form Initial Study Packet Pg. 484 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project DIAMOND BAR 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 did not indicate a consistent liquefiable layer at these depths. Based on this data, lateral spreading is not likely to adversely impact the site. so Compliance with the applicable provisions of the 2016 CBC and adoption of the recommended mitigation measure (My-13 will reduce potential lateral spreading impacts to a less -than -significant level. Subsidence. Land surface subsidence can result from both natural and human -made phenomena. Natural phenomena include subsidence resulting from tectonic deformations and seismically -induced settlements, soil subsidence due to consolidation, subsidence due to oxidation or dewatering of organic -rich soils, and subsidence related to subsurface cavities. Subsidence or settlement related to human (anthropic) activities can be caused by decreased pore pressure due to the withdrawal of subsurface fluids (i.e., water and hydrocarbons). A major cause of land subsidence is the withdrawal of groundwater from compressible sediments. As water is withdrawn and the water table lowered, the effective pressure in the drained sediments is increased. Compressible layers then compact under the over -pressure burden that is no longer compensated by hydrostatic pressure. The project site is located within the service area of the Walnut Valley Water District (WVWD).61 The WVWD's potable water supply consists of water imported from northern California and the Colorado River. To supplement recycled water supplies, the WVWD pumps groundwater from two groundwater basins, including the Puente Groundwater Basin (which underlies the project site) and the Spadra Basin. As depicted in Figure 35 (Main San Gabriel and Puente Groundwater Basins), the Puente Groundwater Basin is a tributary basin to the Main San Gabriel Groundwater Basin. As more thoroughly described in Appendix F (Main San Gabriel and Puente Groundwater Basins)," the groundwater basin is divided into two main parts, the Main San Gabriel Basin and the Puente Basin. The Puente Basin is tributary to the Main Basin and hydraulically connected to it, with no barriers to groundwater movement. It is, however, not within the legal jurisdiction of Main San Gabriel Basin Watermaster and is considered a separate entity for management purposes. The Main San Gabriel Basin lies in eastern Los Angeles County. The hydrologic basin coincides with a portion of the upper San Gabriel River watershed and the aquifer or groundwater basin underlies most of the San Gabriel Valley. The groundwater basin is bounded by the San Gabriel Mountains to the north, the San Jose Hills to the east, the Puente Hills to the south, and by a series of hills and the Raymond Fault to the west. The watershed is drained by the San Gabriel River and Rio Hondo, a tributary of the Los Angeles River. 60/ Op.

The major sources of natural recharge are infiltration of rainfall on the valley floor and percolation of runoff from the adjacent mountains. The basin also receives imported water and return flow from applied water. Surface area of the groundwater basin is approximately 167 square miles. The fresh water storage capacity of the basin is estimated to be about 8.6 million acre-feet.

Liquefaction hazards are separately addressed in response "63" above. ■ Collapsible Soils. Collapsible soils shrink upon being wetted and/or after being subject to a load. Project implementation includes the removal of surficial site soils and replacement with engineered fill. As a result, potential collapsible soil hazards are less than significant.

Expansive soils are soils that experience significant volume change associated with changes in water content. These volume changes can either be in the form of swell or shrinkage and are sometimes known as "shrink/swell soils." "Shrink -swell" (expansion and contraction) is the cyclic change in volume that occurs in fine-grained clay sediments associated with the process of wetting and drying. Structural damage to buildings can occur as a result of inadequate soil and foundation engineering or the placement of structures directly on expansive soils. As defined in Subsection 1803.5.3 (Expansive Soils) of Section 1803 (Geotechnical Investigations) in Chapter 18 (Soils and Foundations) of the 2016 CBC: "Soils meeting all four of the following provisions shall be considered expansive, except that tests to show compliance with Items 11 2 and 3 shall not be required if the test prescribed in Item 4 is conducted: (1) Plasticity index (PI) of 15 or greater, determined in accordance with ASTM D4318. (2) More than 10 percent of the soil particles pass a No. 200 sieve (75 pm), determined in accordance with ASTM D422. (3) More than 10 percent of the soil particles are less than 5 micrometers, in size, determined in accordance with ASTM D422. (4) Expansion index greater than 20, determined in accordance with ASTM D4829.',64,65 As indicated in the geotechnical investigation, laboratory testing indicates that the near surface soils, including sandy clays, have a very low expansion potential (EI<9)_66 The geotechnical investigation, however, recommends that if on -site clays not be placed within one foot of the slab -on -grade floors or flatwork, those soils should not be allowed to dry prior to placing a vapor/moisture retarder or concrete. A recommended mitigation measure (MY-13 has been formulated by the Department for the purpose of mitigating potential expansive soil hazards and, upon implementation, reduce potential hazards to a less -than -significant level. e) No Impact. No septic or alternative wastewater disposal system is proposed. f) No Impact. Section 5097.5 of the PRC specifies that any unauthorized removal of paleontological remains is a misdemeanor and Section 622.5 of the California Penal Code Section 622.5 sets the penalties for damage or removal of paleontological resources The project site is underplayed with younger Quaternary deposits. Younger Quaternary deposits typically do not contain significant vertebrate fossils, at least in upper layers, and no vertebrate fossil localities have been identified in younger Quaternary deposits in the study area region. 64/ The expansion index (EI) provides an indication of swelling potential of a compacted soil. 65/ This test was developed in in the mid-1960s and introduced in the 1973 Uniform Building Code as UBC Test Standard 29-2. It was re -designated as UBC Test Standard 18-1 in the 1994 code and adopted by ASTM in 1988. Soil material is disaggregated and passed through the No. 4 sieve and then brought to approximately the optimum moisture content (as determined by ASTM D-1557). The optimum moisture content equates to approximately 80 to 85 percent of saturation. After setting for 6 to 30 hours, the moisture -conditioned soil is compacted into a 4-inch diameter mold. The moisture content is then adjusted, if necessary, to bring the sample to 50 percent saturation. A 144 psf surcharge is applied and the sample is wetted and monitored for 24 hours, measuring the volumetric swell. The "Expansion Index" (EI) is calculated as follows: EI = 100 x .h x F, Where .h = percent swell and F = fraction passing No. 4 sieve. The resulting expansion potential is categorized as "very low" (0-20), "low" (21-50), "medium" (51-90), "high" (91-130), and "very high" (>130). 66/ Geotechnical Professionals, Inc., Report of Geotechnical Investigation, Proposed Brea Canyon Business Park, 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California, July 11, 2017, p. 4.

Background Information Less than Significant Potentially Impact with Significant Mitigation Impact Incorporated Less than Significant No Impact Impact ❑ ❑ ® ❑ ❑ ❑ ® ❑ In order to more thoroughly assess potential air quality impacts, a detailed air quality analysis was performed as part of this CEQA-compliance effort. The resulting 'Air Quality Analysis" (August 2019) is included in Appendix D (Brea Canyon Business Park - Air Quality Analysis). The detailed analysis supporting the following conclusions is presented in that study and, for brevity, has not again been repeated herein. Findings of Fact a) Less -than -Significant Impact. The California Emissions Estimator Model (CaIEEMod) model projects that combined, mobile, area source, energy, waste, and water conveyance associated with the proposed project would generate an estimated 2,809.65 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mtons of CO2e) on an annual basis. When the construction emissions are amortized over 30 years (23.45 Mtons of CO2e) and added thereto, the total is increased to an estimated 2, 833.10 Mtons of CO2e per year. Because this value remains under SCAQMD's suggested threshold of 3, 000 Mtons per year, the resulting GHG impact is less than significant and no mitigation is required or recommended. b) Less -than -Significant Impact. Projects that generate de minimus levels (i.e., less than 3,000 Mtons of CO2e per year) and do not result in a significant impact or can be mitigated to less than significant would be deemed to be in compliance of the local policies with respect to GHG emissions. As such, GHG emission impacts are less than significant and no additional mitigation measures are required or recommended.

Background Information As indicated in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), "hazardous materials" are defined as "materials that may pose an unreasonable risk to health, safety, and property when transported in commerce" (49 CFR 171.8). Hazardous materials are listed in Appendix A of 49 CFR Part 172.101 and include hazardous wastes, as defined in the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Federal Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) of 1984, and the California Hazardous Waste Control Law (HWCL). "Hazardous wastes"are regulated under RCRA, HSWA, and Title 22, Chapter 6.5 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR). Hazardous wastes are those wastes classified as ignitable, corrosive, reactive, or toxic and are classified under the following four categories (22 CCR Part II: Environmental Checklist Form Initial Study September 2019 Page II-43 7.1.g Packet Pg. 489 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project JLv 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAR 66261.100-66261.126): (1) RCRA hazardous wastes; (2) Non-RCRA hazardous wastes; (3) extremely hazardous wastes; and (4) special wastes. In order to assess the presence or potential presence of hazardous materials and petroleum products on the project site, the Applicant submitted a "Phase I Environmental Assessment Report — 850 Brea Canyon Road (APN 8719-013-017), Walnut, CA 91789" (Robin Environmental Management, January 26, 2018). Pursuant to Section 15150(a) of the State CEQA Guidelines, that project -related document is are incorporated herein by reference. Based on its size, that technical study is not physically included herein but is available for review at the Department during the Department's regular business hours. Findings of Fact a) Less -than -Significant Impact. Under federal and State laws, any material, including wastes, may be considered hazardous if it is specifically listed by statute as such or if it is toxic (causes adverse human health effects), ignitable (has the ability to burn), corrosive (causes severe burns or damage to materials), or reactive (causes explosions or generates toxic gases). During construction, hazardous materials (e.g., fuels and lubricants) would be transported to the project site in construction vehicles and equipment and consumed at the site in accordance with good -business and occupational safety practices and in compliance with all applicable federal, State, and local regulations governing the use of hazardous materials, including the mandatory installation of environmental protective measures and best management practices (BMPs). Compliance provides reasonable assurance that potential hazards to the general public and to the environment are reduced to a less -than -significant level. In limited quantities, not excessing regulated quantities, both office and hotel operations would routinely include the use, handling, and storage of numerous products that would constitute hazardous materials and/or contain hazardous substances. A variety of commercial cleaning products, disinfectants, lubricants, paints, solvents, insecticides, fertilizers, and similar products are used in routine maintenance. The use of these materials would be limited, and their transport, storage, use, and disposal would be subject to federal, State, and local requirements. Routine storage, handling, and disposal practices include: (1) keeping each object in its original contain; (2) periodically checks for signs of deterioration and leakage; (3) maintaining separate storage areas for potentially incompatible or dissimilar products; (4) storage in secure places and away from children: (5) disposal at regional household hazardous material collection centers; and (5) not disposing of these products by pouring liquids down drains, onto the ground, or into the storm drain system. The Medical Waste Management Act (Part 14 commencing with Section 117600, Division 104, H&SC) (MWMA), as administered by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), regulates the management, handling, and disposal of medical wastes, as defined.67 The MWMA provides that transporting, storing, treating, disposing of causing the treatment or 67/ The California Medical Waste Management Act (MWMA) became effective in 1991. The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) assumed responsibility as the oversight agency for medical waste management in 2007. Several amendments to the MWMA have been enacted since its initial adoption. Assembly Bill 333 (as approved by the Governor on September 25, 20 14) was the initial comprehensive change to the MWMA by restructuring the definition of medical waste, mandating use of separate and distinct tracking and shipping documents, modifying large and small generator requirements, and amending rules for self -transport of small amounts of medical waste. September 2019 Part II: Environmental Checklist Form Page II-44 Initial Study Packet Pg. 490 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project DIAMOND BAR 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 disposal of medical wastes in a manner not authorized by permit or regulation or by the MWMA is a crime. Medical uses may include unique hazardous wastes distinct from general administrative offices. As defined in Section 22.80.020 (Definitions of Specialized Terms and Phrases) in Article VI (Development Code Definitions) in Title 22 (Development Code) of the MC, "medical services — clinics and laboratories" are defined as "(f]acilities primarily engaged in furnishing outpatient medical, mental health, surgical and other personal health services, but which are separate from hospitals, including: [1] Health management organizations (HMOs); [2] Medical and dental laboratories; [3] Medical, dental and psychiatric offices; [4] Out -patient care facilities; [5] Other allied health services; [and] [6] Counseling services by other than medical doctors or psychiatrists are included under `offices. "' Specifically, while "clinics and labs" are identified as "permitted" uses in the "Regional Commercial (C-3)" zone, the precise nature of those "clinics and laboratories" are not further defined therein. Medical offices routinely include physician offices, examination rooms, outpatient pharmacies, laboratories, imaging/radiology, and administrative offices. Certain medical testing is provided "waiver" status and not subject to the provisions of the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (42 U.S.C. 263[a]; PL 100-578). Facilities performing "non -waived" (moderate and/or high complexity) clinical laboratory tests must apply for the appropriate California clinical laboratory license and a federal CLIA certificate. As defined in Section 1206(a)(8) of the California Business and Professions Code (B&PC): "'Clinical laboratory' means any place used, or any establishment or institution organized or operated, for the performance of clinical laboratory tests or examinations or the practical application of the clinical laboratory sciences. That application may include any means that applies the clinical laboratory sciences." "Clinical laboratory science" means "any of the sciences or scientific disciplines used to perform a clinical laboratory test or examination" (Section 1206[a][6], B&PC). As specified in Section 1265(a)(1) if the B&PC, a "clinical laboratory performing clinical laboratory tests or examinations classified as of moderate or of high complexity under CLIA shall obtain a clinical laboratory license. " California law is broadly applied to include all facilities providing analyses of all human body specimens, including blood, urine, feces, hair, breath, saliva, and body fluids (Section 1206, B&PC). "Providers of health care" are defined as "any person licensed or certified pursuant to Division 2 (commencing with Section 500) of the Business and Profession Code; an person licensed pursuant to the Osteopathic Initiative Act or the Chiropractic Initiate Act; any person certified pursuant to Division 2.5 (commencing with Section 1797) of the Health and Safety Code; any clinic, health dispensary, or health facility licensed pursuant to Division 2 (commencing with Section 1200) of the Health and Safety Code" (Section 56.05[m], California Civil Code) Routine visits to "providers of health care" and both "waived" and "non -waived" clinical laboratory testing procedures associated therewith would be expected to generate "medical wastes" and "biohazardous wastes."As defined in Section 117690 of the H&SC: (a) "Medical waste" means any biohazardous, pathology, pharmaceutical, or trace chemotherapy waste not regulated by the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (Public Law 94-580), as amended; sharps and trace chemotherapy wastes generated in a health care setting in the diagnosis, treatment, immunization, or care of humans or animals; waste generated in autopsy or necropsy; waste generated during preparation of a Part II: Environmental Checklist Form Initial Study September 2019 Page II-45 Packet Pg. 491 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project JLv 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAR body for final disposition such as cremation or interment; waste generated in research pertaining to the production or testing of microbiologicals; waste generated in research using human or animal pathogens; sharps and laboratory waste that poses a potential risk of infection to humans generated in the inoculation of animals in commercial farming operations; waste generated from the consolidation of home -generated sharps; and waste generated in the cleanup of trauma scenes. Biohazardous, pathology, pharmaceutical, sharps, and trace chemotherapy wastes that meet the conditions of this section are not subject to any of the hazardous waste requirements found in Chapter 6.5 (commencing with Section 25100) of Division 20. (b) For purposes of this part the following definitions apply: September 2019 Page II-46 (1) `Biohazardous waste" includes all of the following: (A) (i) Regulated medical waste, clinical waste, or biomedical waste that is a waste or reusable material derived from the medical treatment of a human or from an animal that is suspected by the attending veterinarian of being infected with a pathogen that is also infectious to humans, which includes diagnosis and immunization; or from biomedical research, which includes the production and testing of biological products. (ii) Regulated medical waste or clinical waste or biomedical waste suspected of containing a highly communicable disease. (B) Laboratory waste such as human specimen cultures or animal specimen cultures that are infected with pathogens that are also infectious to humans; cultures and stocks of infectious agents from research; wastes from the production of bacteria, viruses, spores, discarded live and attenuated vaccines used in human health care or research, discarded animal vaccines, including Brucellosis and Contagious Ecthyma, as defined by the department; culture dishes, devices used to transfer, inoculate, and mix cultures; and wastes identified by Section 173.134 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations as Category B "once wasted" for laboratory wastes. (C) Waste that, at the point of transport from the generator's site or at the point of disposal contains recognizable fluid human blood, fluid human blood products, containers, or equipment containing human blood that is fluid, or blood from animals suspected by the attending veterinarian of being contaminated with infectious agents known to be contagious to humans. (D) Waste containing discarded materials contaminated with excretion, exudate, or secretions from humans or animals that are required to be isolated by the infection control staff, the attending physician and surgeon, the attending veterinarian, or the local health officer, to protect others from highly communicable diseases or diseases of animals that are communicable to humans. (2) Pathology waste includes both of the following: (A) Human body parts, with the exception of teeth, removed at surgery and surgery specimens or tissues removed at surgery or autopsy that are suspected by the health care professional of being Part II: Environmental Checklist Form Initial Study Packet Pg. 492 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project DIAMOND BAR 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 contaminated with infectious agents known to be contagious to humans or having been fixed in formaldehyde or another fixative. (B) Animal parts, tissues, fluids, or carcasses suspected by the attending veterinarian of being contaminated with infectious agents known to be contagious to humans. Section 118275 of the H&SC establishes "medical waste" segregation and storage requirements. As specified: (1) medical waste shall be contained separately from other waste at the point of origin in the producing facility; (2) "biohazardous waste" shall be placed in a biohazard bag and labeled in compliance with Section 117630; (3) "sharps waste" shall be contained in a United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) approved sharps container that meets USFDA labeling requirements and is handled pursuant to Section 118285; (4) "trace chemotherapy waste" shall be segregated for storage and labeled with the words "Chemotherapy Waste" (CHEMO); (5) "pathology waste" shall be segregated for storage and labeled "Pathology Waste" (PATH); (6) "pharmaceutical waste" shall be segregated for storage in accordance with the facility's medical waste management plan. When this waste is prepared for shipment offsite for treatment, it shall be properly containerized for shipment in compliance with United States Department of Transportation and the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) requirements. Although no such facilities are explicitly required, the proposed site plan does not appear to contain facilities for the consolidated on -site storage of those wastes, thus requiring each separate medical office to independently address those requirements. Since those "medical office" uses that may occur on the project site remain undefined, it is neither possible to estimate the quantity of nor to category the nature of any such wastes. Some or all of those uses would reasonably constitute "medical waste generators. "As defined in Section 117705 of the H&SC, "medical waste generator" means any person whose act or process produces medical waste and includes, but is not limited to, a provider of health care, as defined in Section 56.05 of the Civil Code. " Examples of businesses that generate medical waste include "medical and dental offices, clinics, hospitals, surgery centers, laboratories, research laboratories, unlicensed health facilities, those facilities required to be licensed pursuant to Division 2 (commencing with Section 1200), chronic dialysis clinics, as regulated pursuant to Division 2 (commencing with Section 1200), and education and research facilities. " All such generators are required by statute to prepare a "medical waste management plan" (MWMP). "Medical waste management plan" means "a document that is completed by generators of medical waste that describes how the medical waste generated at their facility shall be segregated, handled, stored, packaged, treated, or shipped for treatment, as applicable, pursuant to Section 117935 for small quantity generators and Section 117960 for large quantity generators, on forms prepared by the enforcement agency, if those forms are provided by the enforcement agency" (Section 117710, H&SC).68 In compliance therewith, each medical use is required to prepare a "medical waste management plan" and to comply with all management, storage, recordation, and transportation requirements relating to those wastes. Neither the City nor the County regulate the management and disposal of medical wastes. The regulatory authority over medical waste management remains with the CDPH, Medical Waste 68/ A "small quantity generator" (SQG) is a medical waste generator, other than a trauma scene waste practitioner, that generates less than 200 pounds per month of medical waste.

In addition, the United States Department of Labor - Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) "Occupational Exposures to Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories" (Laboratory Standard ' establishes regulatory requirements for occupational exposure to hazardous chemicals in laboratory environments. As required, employers are required to prepare a laboratory "chemical hygiene plan," setting forth procedures, equipment, personal protective equipment and work practices that are capable of protecting employees from the health hazards presented by hazardous chemicals used in that particular workplace, and meet the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.1450(e)(1)(ii). For laboratory uses of OSHA -regulated substances, the employer shall assure that laboratory employees' exposures to such substances does not exceed the permissible exposure limits specified in 29 CFR 1910, Subpart Z. OSHA standards affect some key laboratory design and construction issues, including special ventilation requirements. Referencing the National Research Council's (NRC) "Laboratory Design, Construction, and Renovation: Participants, Process, and Product" "The ventilation system in chemical laboratories must satisfy two principal health -related objectives: occupational health, which is achieved through the proper installation and operation of chemical laboratory hoods, and occupant comfort, which is achieved by heating and humidifying the general laboratory air in the winter and cooling it in the summer. A secondary function of the laboratory ventilation system is to prevent the migration of contaminants caused by incidental and accidental release of chemicals from the laboratory into other areas of the building. This is accomplished in part by providing single -pass air (air discharged from the laboratory directly outdoors) and in part by controlling the direction of airflow."70 As further indicated in the NRC's "Prudent Practices for Handling, Storage, and Disposal of Chemicals in Laboratories, "[t]he release of vapors to the atmosphere, via, for example, open evaporation or fume hood effluent, is not an acceptable disposal method. Apparatus for operations expected to release vapors should be equipped with appropriate trapping devices. Although the disposition of laboratories under the [Federal] Clean Air Act is not established at this time, it is reasonable to expect that releases to the atmosphere will be controlled. "" Technologies for treating fume hood exhausts include, but not necessarily limited to, scrubbers and containment removal systems, gas -phased filters, and particulate filters. As further indicated by the NRC, "fa]ir from fume hoods and biological safety cabinets in which radioactive or biologically active materials are used should be properly filtered to remove these agents so that they are not released into the atmosphere. Other hazardous particulates may require this type of treatment as well. The most popular method of accomplishing this removal is by using a HEPA [high efficiency particulate arrestance] filter bank. These HEPA filters trap 99.97% of all particulates greater than 3 microns in diameter.

Separated only by the Brea Canyon Road right-of-way, Discovery World Preschool and Private Elementary School (801 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar) is located approximately 150 feet (0.03 miles) west of the project site. The terms "hazardous materials" (Section 25501[o], Chapter 6.95, H&SC), "acutely hazardous materials" (Section 25532[a], Chapter 6.95, H&SC), "hazardous wastes" (Sections 25117, 25141, and 25142.3, H&SC; Section 40141, PRC; Sections 66261.10-66261.24, Title 22, CCR; Section 1004 of the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended [42 U.S.C. 69031), "extremely hazardous wastes" (Section 25115, Chapter 6.95, H&SC), and "hazardous substances" (Section 25316, Chapter 6.95, H&SC; Section 101[14], Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act [42 U.S. C. 9601], 40 CFR 116.4 [Table 116.4A]) are assumed to have the same meanings as provided under State and federal regulations. A "hazardous waste" is a waste that appears on one of the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended (Public Law 94-580) hazardous waste lists (F-, K-, P, U-, or M-list) or that exhibits one of the four characteristics of a hazardous waste (ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity). ■ F-List (Non -Specific Source Wastes). This list identifies wastes from many common manufacturing and industrial processes, such as solvents that have been used for cleaning or degreasing. Since the processes producing these wastes occur in many different industry sectors, F-listed wastes are known as wastes from non-specific sources (22 CCR 66261.31). ■ K-List (Source -Specific Wastes). This list includes certain wastes from specific industries, such as petroleum refining or pesticide manufacturing, including certain sludges and wastewaters from treatment and production processes in these specific industries (22 CCR 66261.32). ■ P-List/U-List (Discarded Commercial Chemical Products). These lists include specific commercial chemical products that have not been used but that will be (or have been) discarded. Industrial chemicals, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals are example of commercial chemical products that appear on these lists and become hazardous waste when discarded (22 CCR 66261.33[e] and [q). ■ M-List (Discarded Mercury -Containing Products). This list includes certain wastes known to contain mercury, such as fluorescent lamps, mercury switches, the products that house these switches, and mercury -containing novelties. Although regulated at the federal level, certain medical wastes, including needles and syringes, are not State -listed hazardous wastes. Based on the nature of their use and operational characteristics, neither general administrative offices nor hotels are typically considered as uses that emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or wastes. The project's compliance with applicable federal, State, and local regulations pertaining to the transport, storage, use, and disposal of hazardous materials, substances, and wastes provide reasonable assurance Part II: Environmental Checklist Form Initial Study September 2019 Page II-49 Packet Pg. 495 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project JLv 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAR that impacts attributable to any such hazardous materials, substances, and wastes would not elevate to a level of significance. d) No Impact. The project site has not been included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the CGC. e) No Impact. The project site is not located within the boundaries of an airport land -use plan or within two miles of a public airport or public use airport. f) No Impact. "Evacuation" is defined as the "act or process of evacuating. To leave a dangerous place or remove someone from a dangerous place. To withdraw from a site and/or building in an organized way especially for protection. Organized, phased, and supervised withdraw, dispersed, or removal of children from dangerous or potentially dangerous areas, and their reception and care in safe areas. "73 Distinct from "evacuation routes," County -designated "disaster routes" are freeways, highways, or arterial routes pre -identified for use during times of crisis. These routes are utilized to bring in emergency personnel, equipment, and supplies to impacted areas in order to save lives, protect property, and minimize impact to the environment. During a disaster, these routes have priority for clearing, repairing and restoration over all other roads. Disaster routes for the County Operational Area (OA) have been split into "north" and "south" OA maps and separate maps for each city have been developed. As illustrated in Figure 36 (County -Designated Disaster Rotes in the Diamond Bar Area [July 7, 2008]), in part, in in addition to the Pomona (SR-60) Freeway, Brea Canyon Road, Valley Boulevard, and Colima Road/Golden Springs Road serve as County -designated "disaster routes. " To the extent that the proposed project improves traffic conditions along Brea Canyon Road, multi jurisdictional disaster response efforts would be enhanced. g) No Impact. "Fire Hazard Severity Zones" are geographical areas designated pursuant to Sections 4201 through 4204 of the PRC and classified as "very high, " "high, " or "moderate" in State Responsibility Areas (SRAs) or as "Local Agency Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones" in Local Responsibility Areas (LRAs) designated pursuant to Sections 51175 through 51189 of the CGC. New buildings located in any "Fire Hazard Severity Zone" within SRAs or any "Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area" designated by the enforcing agency for which an application for a building permit was submitted on or after December 1, 2005, shall comply with Section 7A (Materials and Construction Methods for Exterior Wildfire Expose) of the 2016 California Building Code. The project site has not been included within a designed "Fire Hazard Severity Zone and is not subjected to significant wildfire hazards. 73/ National Fire Protection Association, NFPA 1616: Standard for Mass Evacuation, Sheltering, and Re -Entry Programs, 2017 Edition, Section 3.3.14 (Evacuation).

Background Information The following regulatory provisions govern and/or guide the development of the proposed project: • Federal Clean Water Act. The 1972, the United States Congress enacted amendments to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (originally enacted in 1948), as amended, commonly known as the federal Clean Water Act (CWA). As stipulated in Section 101(a), the C WA's primary goal is "to restore and maintain the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the Nation's waters" by eliminating the discharge of pollutants into navigable waters" (33 U. S. C. 1251 [a]). September 2019 Part II: Environmental Checklist Form Page II-52 Initial Study 7.1.g Packet Pg. 498 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project DIAMOND BAR 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 The CWA requires each state to establish water quality standards for each waterbody within its jurisdiction and review them at least once every three years for appropriate modifications. Water quality standards set the degree of water quality to attain or maintain. States must set water quality standards for all waters within their boundaries "regardless of the sources of the pollution entering the waters. " At a minimum, water quality standards must include: (1) designated uses (e.g., agricultural, recreation, navigation, the protection and propagation of fish, shellfish and wildlife); (2) water quality criteria that are established at levels sufficient to protect the designated uses; and (3) an antidegradation policy to prevent degrading "waters of the United States" (WOTUS). California's Porter Cologne Water Quality [Control] Act of 1970 has similar goals and regulates discharges of pollutants through the issuance of "waste discharge requirements" (WDRs). In designating uses of a water body and the appropriate criteria for those uses, the State shall ensure that its water quality standards provide for the attainment and maintenance of the water quality standards of downstream waters. The CWA broadly segregates water pollution into two categories: "point sources" and "nonpoint sources. s74 To control and ultimately eliminate the discharge of point source pollutants, permits are issued pursuant to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program (33 U. S. C. 1342).7576 Under this approach, discharges from point sources are illegal unless issued an NPDES permit that includes technology -based controls and such other requirements as may be required to implement water quality standards. Nonpoint sources are not regulated under the NPDES program. Construction General Permit. On August 19, 1999, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) issued a "National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction and Land Disturbance Activities" (NPDES No. CAS000002) (Construction General Permit), as amended by Order Nos. 99- 08-DWQ (December 8, 1999), 2009-0009-DWQ (September 2, 2009), 2010-0014-DWQ (November 16, 2010), and 2012-0006-DWQ (July 17, 2012). Order No. 2009-009-DWQ has been administratively extended until a new order is adopted by the SWRCB. The Construction General Permit (CGP) regulates storm water runoff from construction sites. Because the proposed project would disturb greater than one acre, the Applicant must comply with the requirements of the CGP, including the preparation of a "storm water pollution prevention plan" (SWPPP) and implementation of the construction BMPs during construction activities. Construction BMPs include, but not be limited to, erosion and sediment control BMPs designed to minimize erosion and retain sediment and good housekeeping BMPs to prevent spills and leaks and the discharge of construction debris and wastes into receiving waters. The CGP requires that storm water discharges and authorized non -storm water discharges must not contain pollutants that cause or contribute to an exceedance of any applicable water quality objective or water quality standards. To obtain coverage, dischargers are 74/ "Point source" means "any discernable, confined and discrete conveyance" such as pipe, ditch, channel, tunnel, or conduit. The CWA does not define nonpoint source pollution but it has been generally described as discharges that do not qualify as point sources" (33 U.S.C. 1362[14]). 75/ The Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR 22.48) requires that all NPDES permits specify monitoring and reporting requirements. In addition, the CWC (Sections 13267 and 13383) authorize the SWRCB and RWQCBs to require technical and monitoring reports. 76/ Pursuant to Section 13389 of the CWC, the SWRCB and the RWQQCBs are exempt from the requirement to comply with Chapter 3, Division 13 of the PRC when adopting NPDES permits. Part II: Environmental Checklist Form Initial Study September 2019 Page II-53 Packet Pg. 499 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project �® 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAR required to file "permit registration documents" (PRDs), including a "Notice of Intent" (NOI), "storm water pollution prevention plan" (SWPPP), other compliance documents, pay the appropriate permit fee to the SWRCB and obtain "waste discharger identification number" (WDID). The discharger may terminate coverage under this CGP for a complete project by submitting to SWRCB a "Notice of Termination" (NOT) and a post -construction BMP plan. A construction project is considered complete only when the following conditions have been met: (1) there is no potential for construction -related storm water pollution; (2) all elements of the SWPPP have been completed; (3) construction materials and waste have been disposed of properly; (4) the site is in compliance with all local storm water management requirements; and (5) a post -construction "storm water management plan" (SWMP) is in place, as described in the site's SWPPP. Compliance with CGP requirements and procedures will ensure that construction -related impacts on water quality remain at a less - than -significant level. Construction Dewatering Permit. On June 6, 2013, the LARWQCB adopted "Order No. R4-2013-0095 (General NPDES Permit No. CAG99004 - Waste Discharge Requirements for Discharges of Groundwater from Construction and Project Dewatering to Surface Waters in Coastal Watersheds of Los Angeles and Ventura Counties)" (Construction Dewatering Permit [CDP]), covering discharges to surface waters or ground water from dewatering operations and other types of wastewaters, as deemed appropriate, and authorizing discharges of treated or untreated ground water generated from dewatering operations or other applicable wastewater discharges not specifically covered in other general or individual NPDES permits.77 Discharges from facilities to WOTUS that do not cause, have the reasonable potential to cause or contribute to an in -stream excursion above any applicable State or federal WQOs, or cause acute or chronic toxicity in the receiving water constitute authorized discharges subject to the conditions set forth in the CDP. Prior to discharge to the MS4, discharge limitations for dewatering treatment BMPs for total suspended solids (TSS), turbidity, and oil and grease are 100 mg/L, 50 NTU, and 10 mg/L, respectively.78 To be authorized to discharge under the CDP, the discharger must submit a "Notice of Intent" (NOI). Upon receipt, the LARWQCB will determine the CDP's applicability. If the discharge is eligible, the LARQWCB will notify the discharger that the discharge is authorized and prescribes an appropriate monitoring and reporting program. For new discharges, the discharge shall not commence until receipt of the LAR WQCB's written determination of eligibility for coverage under the CDP or until an individual NPDES permit is issued. National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit. On March 8, 2000, development planning program requirements, including the "standard urban storm water mitigation plan" (SUSMP) requirements, as established under federal regulations (40 CFR 122.26[d]), were approved by the LARWQCB as part of the "Los Angeles County Municipal "/ Dewatering methods are temporary measures for filtering sediment -laden water, managing the discharge of pollutants or to keep water away from a worksite. Dewatering operations are used to manage removal of water from excavations, cofferdams, diversions, and areas of ponding (accumulated precipitation). Sediment is the most common pollutant associated with dewatering operations. 71/ Op.

On November 8, 2012, superseding "Order No. 01-182" as amended, the LARWQCB adopted "Order No. R4-2012-0175" (NPDES Permit No. CAS004001), establishing "Wastewater Discharge Requirements for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Discharges Within the Coastal Watersheds of Los Angeles County, Except those Discharges Originating from the City of Long Beach MS4" (Amended 2012 MS4 Permit). The Amended 2012 MS4 Permit became effective on December 28, 2012. The Amended 2012 MS4 Permit serves as a system -wide general NPDES permit for MS4 storm water and non -storm water discharges within the coastal watersheds of the County (receiving waters) under which the Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD), the County, and 84 incorporated cities (including the City of Diamond Bar and excluding the City of Long Beach) collectively constitute the "Permittees" The Amended 2012 MSF Permit's main purpose is to implement effective pollution prevention programs to reduce the discharge of pollutants from the municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) in order to protect receiving waters and their beneficial uses. "Order No. R4-2012-0175" implements the federal Phase I NPDES Storm Water Program requirements. These requirements include three fundamental elements: (1) a requirement to effectively prohibit non -storm water discharges through the MS4s; (2) requirements to implement controls to reduce the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent practicable (MEP); and (3) other provisions the LARWQCB has determined appropriate for the control of such pollutants. Pursuant Section 13263(a) of the CWC, the requirements of that order implement the adopted "basin plan. " For certain categories of new development and redevelopment projects, the Amended 2012 MS4 Permit stipulates that all Permittees shall implement a "planning and land development program" in order to: 0 Lessen the water quality impacts of development by using smart growth practices such as compact development, directing development towards existing communities via infill or redevelopment, and safeguarding of environmentally sensitive areas; 0 Minimize the adverse impacts from storm water runoff on the biological integrity of natural drainage systems and the beneficial uses of water bodies in accordance with requirements under CEQA; 0 Minimize the percentage of impervious surfaces on land developments by minimizing soil compaction during construction, designing projects to minimize the impervious area footprint, and employing low -impact development (LID) design principles to mimic predevelopment hydrology through infiltration, evapotranspiration and rainfall harvest and use; 0 Maintain existing riparian buffers and enhance riparian buffers when possible; 0 Minimize pollutant loadings from impervious surfaces such as roof tops, parking lots, and roadways through the use of properly designed, technically appropriate BMPs, LID strategies, and treatment -control BMPs; 0 Properly select, design and maintain LID and hydromodification control BMPs to address pollutants that are likely to be generated, reduce changes to pre -development hydrology, assure long-term function, and avoid the breeding of vectors; and 0 Prioritize the selection of BMPs to remove storm water pollutants, reduce storm water runoff volume, and beneficially use storm water to support an integrated approach to Part II: Environmental Checklist Form Initial Study September 2019 Page II-55 Packet Pg. 501 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project JLv 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAR protecting water quality and managing water resources in the following order of preference: (a) on -site infiltration, bioretention, and/or rainfall harvest and use and (b) on -site biofiltration, off -site ground water replenishment, and/or off -site retrofit.

(4) No washing of construction or other vehicles is permitted adjacent to a construction site. No water from the washing of construction vehicle of equipment on the construction site is permitted to run off the construction site and enter the municipal storm water system. (5) Trash receptacles must be situated at convenient locations on construction sites and must be maintained in such a manner that trash and litter does not accumulate on the site nor migrate off site. (6) Erosion from slopes and channels must be controlled through the effective combination of best management practices As further specified in Subsection "(e)(3)" in Section 8.12.1695 (Low Impact Development Measures for New Development and/or Redevelopment Planning and Construction Activities) of the MC: (a) Retain stormwater runoff onsite for the stormwater quality design volume (SWQDv) defined as the runoff from: (i) The 85t`' percentile 24-hour runoff event as determined from the Los Angeles County 85th percentile precipitation isohyetal map; or (ii) The volume of runoff produced from a 0.75 inch, 24-hour rain event, whichever is greater. (b) Minimize hydromodification impacts to natural drainage systems as defined in Order No. R4-2012-0175. (c) To demonstrate technical infeasibility, the project applicant must demonstrate that the project cannot reliably retain 100 percent of the SWQDv on -site, even with the maximum application of green roofs and rainwater harvest and use, and that compliance with the applicable post - construction requirements would be technically infeasible by submitting a site -specific hydrologic and/or design analysis conducted and endorsed by a registered professional engineer, geologist, architect, and/or landscape architect. Technical infeasibility may result from conditions including the following: (i) The infiltration rate of saturated in -situ soils is less than 0.3 inch per hour and it is not technically feasible to amend the in -situ soils to attain an infiltration rate necessary to achieve reliable performance of infiltration or bioretention BMPs in retaining the SWQDv onsite. (ii) Locations where seasonal high groundwater is within five to ten feet of surface grade; (iii) Locations within 100 feet of a groundwater well used for drinking water; (iv) Brownfield development sites or other locations where pollutant mobilization is a documented concern; (v) Locations with potential geotechnical hazards; (vi) Smart growth and infill or redevelopment locations where the density and/or nature of the project would create significant difficulty for compliance with the onsite volume retention requirement. (d) If partial or complete onsite retention is technically infeasible, the project Site may biofiltrate 1.5 times the portion of the remaining SWQDv that is not reliably retained onsite. Biofiltration BMPs must adhere to the design specifications provided in Order No. R4-2012-0175. Additional alternative compliance options such as offsite infiltration and groundwater replenishment projects may be available to the project site. The project site should contact the city to determine eligibility.

Under the Porter -Cologne Act and the CWA, the State's nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards (RWQCBs) are directed to "formulate and adopt water quality control plans for all areas within the region," including both surface waters and groundwater (Section 13240, CWC). A water quality control plan for the waters of an area is defined as having the following component parts: (1) beneficial uses to be protected; (2) water quality objectives (WQOs) that protect those uses; and (3) a program of implementation needed to achieve those WQOs (Section 13050, CWC). The proposed project is subject to compliance with the LARWQCB's "Water Quality Control Plan, Los Angeles Basin" (1994) (Basin Plan) and the "Wastewater Discharge Requirements for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Discharges Within the Coastal Watersheds of Los Angeles County, Except those Discharges Originating from the City of Long Beach MS4, " as amended (Amended 2012 MS4 Permit). As indicated in the Basin Plan, Diamond Bar Creek is located in Hydrologic Unit 180701060501,80 tributary to San Jose Creek. Beneficial, potentially beneficial, and intermittent beneficial uses of those inland surface waters include: (1) municipal and domestic supply (MUN) (potentially beneficial use); (2) groundwater recharge (GWR) (intermittent beneficial use); (3) warm freshwater habitat (WARM) (intermittent beneficial use); and (4) wildlife habitat (WILD) (existing beneficial use).81 A summary of regulatory provisions of the Basin Plan is codified in Sections 3930 et seq. in Title 23 (Waters), Division 4 (Regional Water Quality Control Boards), Chapter 1 (Water Quality Control Plans, Policies, and Guidelines), Article 4 (Los Angeles Basin), California Code of Regulations National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994. The Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) flood insurance rate maps (FIRM) identify those areas that are located within the 100-year floodplain boundary, termed "Special Flood Hazard Areas" (SFHAs). The National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, which amended the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, requires mortgage lenders and servicers to require their borrowers whose dwellings lie within federally -designated SFHAs to purchase and maintain flood insurance for the term of the loan. If a property is located within a SFHA, as shown on a 80/ California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region, Water Quality Control Plan, Los Angeles Region, 1994, as revised, Table 1 (Inventory of Major Surface Waters and Waters to which they are Tributary), p. A-15. S1/ Ibid., Table 2-1 (Beneficial Uses of Inland Surface Waters), p. 2-14. September 2019 Page II-58 Part II: Environmental Checklist Form Initial Study Packet Pg. 504 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project DIAMOND BAR 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 flood map published by FEMA, the law requires mortgage lenders and servicers to require flood insurance for any loan secured by property with a building located in a SFHA. The purpose of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) designations is to encourage state and local governments to consider potential flood hazards when rendering decisions on the future use of such lands, thereby minimizing damage caused by flooding. In flood hazard areas, the federal standard require that the finished floor elevation of proposed dwellings be at least one -foot above the "base flood elevation" (BFE) (1-percent annual chance). The BFE is the elevation of the one percent annual chance flood. The project site is bordered on the north by a County flood control channel (PD 1445) (Diamond Bar Creek). As indicated in the City's "Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan" (2004): One small section of Diamond Bar Creek, at the intersection of Old Brea Canyon Road, just north of the 60 Freeway, was identified by the FIRM [Federal Insurance Rate Map] study as having a slight flooding potential. This portion of the creek is referred to as the Reed Canyon Channel. A small area immediately upstream (just east) of the roadway is classified as flood zone `A,' which means that it is an area of 100-year flooding, but no base flood elevations or flood hazard factors have been determined. A slightly larger area downstream (just west) of Brea Canyon has a flood zone designation of AO,' which means areas of shallow flooding during a 100-year flood, where depths are between one (1) and three (3) feet. Average depths of inundation are shown (on the FIRM map), but no specific flood assessment has been made (FEMA 1980). Since then, the area has been mitigated and the FIRM map will need to be updated. Reed Canyon is no longer considered a flood problem area.82 As indicated in Figure 37 (Flood Insurance Rate Map No. 06037C1725F (September 26, 20087), the project site is depicted on "Flood Insurance Rate Map Los Angeles County, California and Unincorporated Areas, Panel 1725 of 2350, Panel 1725F, Map No. 06037C1725F" (effective September 26, 2008) and is designated "Zone X," described as "areas of 0.2% annual chance flood; areas of 1 % annual chance flood with average depths of less than 1 foot or within drainage areas less than 1 square mile; and areas protected by levees from 1% annual chance flood." Findings of Fact In order to more thoroughly assess potential hydrological impacts, detailed hydrologic analyses were provided by the Applicant and independently reviewed and accepted for public release by Public Works. Technical studies used in the preparation of this analysis includes: (1) "Hydrology & LID Calculations for Brea Canyon Business Park, 850 S.

Figure 37 FLOOD INSURANCE RATE MAP NO. 06037C1725F (September 26, 2008) Source: Federal Emergency Management Agency a) Less -than -Significant Impact. The proposed project will fully comply with the applicable provisions of the Amended 2012 MS4 permit, the CGP/CDP, and the City's LID Ordinance (e.g., Sections 8.12.1690 and 8.12.1695, MC). Through compliance therewith, the proposed project would not violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements or otherwise substantially degrade surface or ground water quality. In compliance with the Amended 2012 MS4 permit, at a minimum, the Applicant shall implement the following sediment, construction, and material controls: September 2019 Page II-60 Part II: Environmental Checklist Form Initial Study Packet Pg. 506 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project DIAMOND BAR 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 Sediment controls: 0 Eroded sediments generated on the project site shall be retained on the project site using BMPs and may not be transported via sheet flow, swales, area drains, natural drainage course or wind; 0 Vehicle traffic may not track sediments and other materials from the site; 0 Accidental depositions must be swept up immediately; and 0 Catch basins must be protected. Construction material controls: 0 Excess or waste concrete may not be washed into the public way or drainage system; 0 Trash and construction -related solid waste must be deposited into a covered receptacle to prevent contamination of rainwater and dispersal by wind; 0 Fuels, oils, solvents, and toxic materials must be stored in accordance with their listing and are neither to contaminate the soil nor surface waters; spills must be cleaned up immediately and disposed of in a proper manner; 0 Stockpiles or earth and other construction -related materials must be protected from being transported from the site by wind or water and must be covered with tarps or plastic. 0 Non -storm water runoff from equipment and vehicle washing and other activities shall be contained on the project site. b) Less -than -Significant Impact. As reported in the geotechnical investigation: "Groundwater was measured in our borings at a depth of approximately 28 to 33 feet below grade immediately after drilling. Historic groundwater levels are reported near a contour of approximately 20 feet below existing grades." Grading operations are not anticipated to occur at sufficient depths so as to encounter groundwater. c1) Less -than -Significant Impact. As required under the Amended 2012 MS4 Permit, prior to issuing a grading or building permit, each Permittee shall require each operator of a construction activity within its jurisdiction to prepare and submit an "erosion and sediment control plan" (ESCP) prior to the disturbance of land for the Permittee's review and written approval. The construction site operator shall be prohibited from commencing construction activity prior to receipt of written approval by the Permittee. ESCPs are year-round BMPs that must be incorporated into construction plans. All grading projects, non-residential sites, residential sites of 6 stories or greater, and projects with soil disturbing activities greater than one acre require an ESCP. All BMPs must be detailed on the ESCP or reference standard details found in the California Stormwater Quality Association's (CASQA) "Stormwater Best Management Practice Handbook — Construction" (January 2003, revised July 2012) and/or the Caltrans' "Construction Site Monitoring Program Guidance Manual" (revised August 2013). The ESCP plan must include appropriate BMPs for general site management, construction materials and waste management, and erosion and sediment controls. Erosion and sediment control BMPs must be provided for both wet and dry seasons. To control site erosion and sediments, an ESCP must be submitted (or revised) every year to reflect site conditions at the start of the rainy season (October 15). Grading and building plans in for plan check, which will have construction work occurring during the rainy season, will not be permitted until ESCP are submitted and approved. For sites where the disturbed area is one acre or more, project proponents must file a "Notice of Intent" (NOI) and a "stormwater Part II: Environmental Checklist Form Initial Study September 2019 Page II-61 Packet Pg. 507 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project JLv 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAR pollution prevention plan" (SWPPP) and obtain a waste discharge identification number with the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). c2) Less -than -Significant Impact. As required under Subsection "(a) in Section 8.12.1695 (Low Impact Development Measures for New Development and/or Redevelopment Planning and Construction Activities) of the MC, the Applicant shall be required to "retain stormwater runoff onsite for the stormwater quality design volume (SWQDv) defined as the runoff from: (i) The 851" percentile 24-hour runoff event as determined from the Los Angeles County 85t`' percentile precipitation isohyetal map; or (ii) The volume of runoff produced from a 0.75 inch, 24-hour rain event, whichever is greater. " In accordance therewith, based on the incorporation of both structural and non-structural BMPs, the quantity of storm waters being discharged to the storm drain system will not increase over pre -project levels. c3) Less -than -Significant Impact. See Response "c2" above. C4) Less -than -Significant Impact. Through the proposed on -site relocation of two existing 54- inch diameter RCP pipes, limited to the site boundaries and subject to County -imposed permits and approvals, the proposed project includes the planned redirection of flood flows. d) No Impact. The project site is not located in a flood hazard, tsunami or seiche hazard area. e) Less -than -Significant Impact. "Discharge prohibitions" under the provisions of the CGP include, but are not limited to, any prohibition contained in the Basin Plan or in any Statewide water quality control plans. The discharge of non -storm water is authorized if the discharger: (1) does not cause or contribute to a violation of any water quality standard, (2) does not violate any other provision of this CGP; (3) is not prohibited by the applicable Basin Plan; (4) has included and implemented specific BMPs required by the CGP to prevent or reduce the contact of the non -storm water discharge with construction materials or equipment; (5) does not contain toxic constituents in toxic amounts or other significant quantities of pollutants; (6) is monitored and meets the applicable numeric action levels; and (7) reports the sampling information in the annual report. In compliance therewith, the proposed project will neither conflict with nor obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan.

Land Use and Planning Less than Significant Potentially Impact with Less than Would the project: Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact (a) Physically divide an established community? ❑ ❑ ❑ (b) Cause a significant environmental impact due to a conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation ❑ ❑ ❑ adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? Background Information The Southern California Association of Governments' (SCAG) Intergovernmental Review section (part of the Environmental Planning Division of Planning and Policy) is responsible for performing consistency reviews of "regionally significant" local plans, projects, and programs. "Regionally significant" projects are required to be consistent with SCAG's adopted regional plans and policies, including regional comprehensive plans (RCPs) and regional transportation plans (RTPs). SCAG has formulated independent criteria for the categorization of proposed projects as "regionally significant." The proposed project is not considered to be a project of "regional significance" pursuant to the criteria outlined in SCAG's "Intergovernmental Review Procedures Handbook" (November 1995) and Section 15206 of the Guidelines. Under CEQA, the City is, not required to assess the proposed project's consistency with SCAG's regional plans. Findings of Fact a) No Impact. The project site is bordered on the south by the Pomona (SR-60) Freeway, on the north by a County flood control channel (Diamond Bar Creek) and by an existing commercial use ("Farmer Boys Restaurant" [810 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar]), and on the west by Brea Canyon Road. Each of those features constitute existing "edges" and effectively physically isolate the subject property. Because vehicular and non -vehicular access to the project site does not require site users to traverse any existing residential areas, no "cut through" traffic has the potential to affect those areas. Similarly, the proposed land use does not appear inherently incompatible with those existing single-family residential uses located west of Brea Canyon Road and north of the County flood control channel. b) No Impact. Because the Department has not identified the existence or potential existence of a conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect, no significant environmental impacts associated with or attributable to any such conflict is noted herein.

Mineral Resources Would the project: (a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the State? (b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally -important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? Background Information Less than Significant Potentially Impact with Significant Mitigation Impact Incorporated Less than Significant No Impact Impact The Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1975 (SMARA), codified in Section 2710 et seq, in Chapter 9 of Division 2 of the PRC, and its accompanying regulations (14 CCR 3500 et seq.), mandated the initiation, by the State Geologist, of a "Mineral Land Classification System" in order to help identify and protect mineral resources in areas within the State subject to urban expansion or other irreversible land uses that would preclude mineral extraction. Construction aggregate was selected to be the initial commodity targeted for classification because of its importance to society, its unique economic characteristics, and the imminent threat that continuing urbanization poses to that resource.83 Mineral lands are mapped according to jurisdictional boundaries, mapping all mineral commodities at one time in the area (including aggregate, common clay, and dimension stone). Priority is given to areas where future mineral resource extraction could be precluded by "incompatible land uses" or to mineral resources likely to be mined during the 50-year period following their classification. The State Geologist subsequently developed the mineral resource zone (MRZ) nomenclature and criteria. In accordance therewith, the SMGB has classified mineral areas as one of five "MRZs." Those major classifications include: (1) "MRZ-1" (Areas where adequate information indicates that no significant mineral deposits are present or where it is judged that little likelihood exists for their presence); (2) "MRZ-2" (Areas where adequate information indicates that significant mineral deposits are present or where it is judged that a high likelihood for their presence exists); (3) "MRZ-3" (Areas containing mineral deposits the significance of which cannot be evaluated from available data); (4) "MRZ-4" (Areas where available information is inadequate for assignment to any other MRZ zone); and (5) "MRZ-5" or "SZ" (Areas containing unique or rare occurrences of rocks, minerals, or fossils that are of outstanding scientific significance shall be classified in this zone).84 The general project area is designed "MRZ-1.',65 83/ Presently, the only mineral commodity classified by the State Mining and Geology Board (SMGB) has been construction aggregate (sand, gravel, and crushed road). Nothing in SMARA precludes the SMGB from similarly classifying other mineral resources. `/ California Department of Conservation, Division of Mines and Geology and State Mining and Geology Board, California Surface Mining and Reclamation Policies and Procedures, Special Publication 51: Guidelines for Classification and Designation of Mineral Resources, 1998, p. 3. 85/ Anderson, T.P, Loyd, R.C., Clark, W.B., Miller, R.V., Corbaley, R, Kohler, S., Bushnell, M.M., Mineral Land Classification of the Greater Los Angeles Area: Part IV: Classification of Sand and Gravel Resource Area, San Gabriel September 2019 Part II: Environmental Checklist Form Page II-64 Initial Study 7.1.g Packet Pg. 510 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project DIAMOND BAR 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 The California Geological Survey (CGS), formally the Division of Mines and Geology (GDMG or DMG), operates under the provisions of Chapter 2 (The California Geological Survey) (Sections 2200-2211) in Division 2 (Geology, Mines and Mining) (Sections 2001-2815) of the PRC. The CGS' "Mineral Resources and Mineral Hazards Program"' provides information about California's non -fuel mineral resources (metals and industrial minerals), naturally -occurring mineral hazards (asbestos, radon, and mercury), and information about active and historic mining activities throughout the State. As described therein, non -fuel mineral resources are categorized as metals (gold, silver, iron, and copper), industrial minerals (e.g., boron compounds, rare-earth elements, clays, limestones, gypsum, salt, and dimension stone), and construction aggregate (sand and gravel and crushed stone). Construction aggregate is typically associated with past and present rivers and streams, in alluvial basins, along marine and lake shorelines, and in previously glaciated areas. The CGS has noted that "(a]ggregate (sand and gravel, crushed stone) is currently the most important mineral resource consumed in California. It is the foundation of the modern construction industry. Land use that precludes mining of this resource is a problem in many urbanizing areas of the State. The cost of aggregate rises significantly when it has to be mined and transported from increasingly greater distances from its point of use. "6' The San Gabriel Valley area, as defined by the CDMG, is a major aggregate producer in the Los Angeles District. The majority of aggregate is produced from an alluvial fan developed at the southern base of the San Gabriel Mountains. The fan extends approximately eight miles in a southwestern direction and attains a maximum width of about four miles. The project site is located to the east of that area and is not located in the "San Gabriel Valley Production - Consumption Region.'$$ Findings of Fact a) No Impact. The CDMG classifies the general project area as "urban. " As noted, the State Mining and Geology Board "does not design area presently dedicated to land use that are incompatible with mining. "89 Based on the State's determination that the project area contains land uses that are incompatible with mining operations, absent any identifiable mineral resources on the project site, the proposed project would not result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the State. b) No Impact. As defined in SMARA, an "area of local significance" constitutes "[a]n area that contains mineral deposits and is not of regional or Statewide significance" (Section 2761[b][1], PRC). The project site neither constitute an "area of local significance" nor contains any "locally -important mineral resources."

Background Information The primary existing noise sources in the general project area are those associated with automobile and truck traffic along the Pomona (SR-60) Freeway and along Brea Canyon Road. In order to more thoroughly assess potential noise impacts, a detailed acoustical analysis was performed as part of this CEQA-compliance effort. The resulting 'Acoustical Analysis" (August 2019) is included in Appendix G (Brea Canyon Business Park —Acoustical Analysis). The detailed analysis supporting the following conclusions is presented in that study and, for brevity, has not again been repeated herein. Findings of Fact a) Less -than -Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. The closest point of interaction between the proposed project and the existing residential units to the north of the County flood control channel (PD 1445), as located along Dryander Drive and Lycoming Street, is with regards to those proposed uses and on -site activities most closely related thereto. Bordering much of the project's northern boundary are those 8-foot-wide and 16-foot-long parking stalls, separated from those homes by only the 50-foot wide flood control easement. Although those stalls are indicated as being "employee parking, " those same "spaces will be open for customers. "' Parking areas generate operational noise, including amplified noises associated with vehicle radios and music systems, security alarms, back-up beepers installed on commercial vehicles, door slams, unmuffled exhaust systems, and conversational noise. Among other causes, errant door swings from tightly packed vehicles often active the alarm systems 90/ Linscott Law & Greenspan, Revised Parking Demand Analysis for Brea Canyon Business Park, Diamond Bar, California, January 25, 2019, p. 10.

Although unregulated, while most blaring alarms cease after a specified time periods, alarm noise from unattended vehicles is typically perceived as a nuisance. Back-up beepers (97-112 dB) and vehicle alarms (125 dB) typically represent the loudest noise sources associated with parking lots. As reported in "The Atlantic," vehicle security experts state that "people rarely pay them [vehicle alarms] any mind, rendering them even less effective. Since blaring alarms usually mean someone accidentally bumped into a vehicle, or even just happened to play loud music down the street, an alarm rarely means an actual theft is taking place."91 Based on the minimum opening widths required for occupants to enter and exit closely parked vehicles and the confined nature of each parking stall, the concentration of 8-foot- wide parking stalls would likely increase the number and frequency of vehicle alarm activation, as compared to the number and frequency in standard -sized parking. Absent any stated operating hours for the proposed medical/office uses and the 2417 operation of the proposed project's hotel component, these conditions could exist during daytime, evening, and nighttime hours. Relative to those spaces, noise associated with activated vehicle alarms would be clearly perceptible to the homes located along Dryander Drive and Lycoming Street that abut the County flood control channel (PD 1443) (Diamond Bar Creek). Because they occur on private property, the LACSD would be unable to issue citations for disruptive vehicle alarms. Similarly, it can be reasonably assumed that the Applicant, the BOA, and/or other management entity would not take actions to remove any vehicle otherwise appropriately parked on the project site. As described in Appendix G (Brea Canyon Business Park - Acoustical Analysis), construction noise has the potential to exceed the provisions of the "City of Diamond Bar Municipal Code" (Municipal Code or MC). As a result, the following recommended construction -term mitigation measures have been identified and, if implemented, would reduce potential short-term noise impacts to a less -than -significant level: MM-14. Construction Noise. In accordance with the provisions of the "City of Diamond Bar Municipal Code, " construction shall be restricted to between the hours of 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM on weekdays and Saturdays. No construction shall occur at any time on Sundays or on federal holidays. These days and hours shall also apply to the servicing of equipment and to the delivery or removal of equipment and materials to or from the site. MM-15. Construction Noise. All construction equipment shall be properly maintained and tuned to minimize noise emissions. MM-16. Construction Noise. All equipment shall be fitted with properly operating mufflers, air intake silencers, and engine shrouds no less effective than originally equipped. MM-17. Construction Noise.

Such barriers shall be a minimum of 8-feet tall and block the line -of - sight between any proximal residences and the top of the exhaust stack associated with the on -site use of heavy construction equipment. This mitigation measure is intended to apply specifically to those single-family residences located at 807-814 Dryander Drive and 21110-21054 Lycoming Street, Diamond Bar. MM-18. Construction Noise. The construction contractor shall specify the use of electric stationary equipment (e.g., compressors) that can operate off of the power grid, where feasible. Where infeasible, stationary noise sources (e.g., generators and compressors) shall be located as far from residential receptor locations as feasible. MM-19. Construction Noise. The construction contractor shall post details of the project's construction schedule and the names and telephone numbers of both an on - site project representative and that of the City's Community Development Department (Department) that can be contacted by local residents seeking to register a noise complaint. The Applicant shall maintain records of all such contacts, including any actions taken, and make those records available to authorized inspectors upon request. MM-20. Construction Noise. The proposed project shall be designed and constructed in accordance with any and all additional conditions as may be set forth by the Department for noise mitigation. Subsequent to construction, the project site would include a mix of non-residential, commercial uses. This analysis finds that noise generated by vehicles traveling along the Pomona (SR-60) Freeway and Brea Canyon Road could create noise levels at the proposed uses that are in excess of both the City's and the State's standards for exterior noise (i.e., 70 dBA CNEL for commercial uses). The following recommended operational mitigation measures would reduce this impact to a less -than -significant level: MM-21. Operational Noise. No accessible exterior balconies shall be included in the design of the hotel structure for those guest rooms located along the hotel's southern (freeway -oriented) wall. MM-22. Operational Noise. The Applicant shall provide habitable on -site structures with forced air ventilation designed and installed in accordance with the 2016 "California Building Standards Code" (Title 24, California Code of Regulations), including the 2016 "California Green Building Standards Code" (Title 24, Part 11, California Code of Regulations).92 MM-23.

Caltrans has noted that the generation of groundborne vibration is typically associated with blasting operations, the use of pile drivers, and large- scale demolition activities, none of which are anticipated for the construction or operation of the proposed project. As such, no excessive groundborne vibrations would be created by the proposed project. c) No Impact.

Civilian employment decreased by 3,000 to 4,872,000 in July 2019, while unemployment declined by 2,000 to 227,000 over the month. The civilian labor force decreased by 5,000 over the month to 5,099,000 in July 2019. The unadjusted unemployment rate for the county was 5.0 percent in July 2019. The California seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 4.1 percent in July 2019, 4.2 percent in June 2019, and 4.1 percent a year ago in July 2018. The comparable estimates for the nation were 3.7 percent in July 2019, 3.7 percent in June 2019, and 3.9 percent a year ago.93 As further noted therein: Education and health service maintained its position as the dominant sector of the economy, adding 25,300 jobs over the year. These additions equaled 40 percent of total growth in nonfarm employment. Health care and social assistance recorded 22,100 additions and private educational services posted 3,200 job increases. Construction continued to climb, bolstering by 12,100 jobs over the year. Additions were divided into gains in specialty trade contractors (up 8, 300), construction of buildings (up 2,400), and heavy and civil engineering construction (up 1,400).94 Findings of Fact a) Less -than -Significant Impact.

The following relevant or potentially relevant information is extracted therefrom. Section 202 (Definitions) of the 2016 CBC include the following definition of a "high-rise building: `In other than Group 1-2 occupancies, "high-rise buildings, " as used in this code: [1] Existing high- rise structures.

Although not explicitly defined therein, a `low-rise building" is often defined as a building that is four or fewer stories in height from the lowest level of fire department access, as measured from September 2019 Part II: Environmental Checklist Form Page II-72 Initial Study 7.1.g Packet Pg. 518 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project DIAMOND BAR 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 the topside of the roof above the topmost space that can be occupied to the lowest floor level of building access, as defined in Section 202 of the 2016 CBC. Low-rise buildings have a maximum height of 55 feet from the lowest level of fire department access. In contrast, a "mid -rise "building can be defined as: (1) any building having space used for human occupancy consisting of four or more stories and with a height of between 55 and 75 feet, as measured from the topside of the roof above the topmost space that can be occupied to the lowest floor level of building access, as defined in Section 202; or (2) any building not defined as a "high-rise" building in Section 202 of the 2016 CBC. The proposed project does not include any high-rise buildings and is, therefore, not subject to the corresponding provisions of Sections 403.2 through 403.7 of the 2016 CFC. Pursuant to the 2016 CBC, the maximum height and allowable number of stories of a building are limited based on a number of factors. Factors that may influence code -required building heights and floor areas include: (1) construction type (the stricter the construction type and the more noncombustible the building, the larger the allowable building area and height); (2) occupancy classification (certain occupancy classifications restrict the building size); (3) number of occupants (as the number of occupants increase or the mobility of those occupants decrease, more restrictions are imposed on building height and area); (4) location (the location of or distance from adjacent buildings and the amount of street frontage can influence allowed area); (5) sprinkler systems (the use of approved automatic sprinkler system in accordance with "NFPA 13: Standard for Fire Sprinkler System" [2016]95 standards) can increase the allowable number of stories allowed); (6) fire walls (fire walls can subdivide a building so that each area is treated as a separate entity). Relative to building height, the project shall comply with the requirements of Sections 503 and 504 of the 2016 CBC. As specified in Section 504 (Building Height and Number of Stories) therein: (1) "The height, in feet, and the number of stories of a building shall be determined based on the type of construction, occupancy classification and whether there is an automatic sprinkler system installed throughout the building" (Subsection 504.1 [General]); (2) "The maximum height, in feet, of a building shall not exceed the limits specified in Table 504.3 [Allowable Building Height in Feet above Ground Plane]" (Subsection 504.3 [Height in Feet]); and (3) "The maximum number of stories of a building shall not exceed the limits specified in Table 504.4 [Allowable Number of Stories above Ground Plane]" (Section 504.4 [Number of Stories]). Nothing therein would suggest that the proposed 59-feet 1-inches height of the proposed 4-story hotel is infeasible based on the variety of design options and construction techniques available. As indicted, in part, in Section D105 (Aerial Fire Apparatus Access Road) in Appendix D (Fire Apparatus Access Road) of the 2016 CFC: "Where the vertical distance between the grade plane and the highest roof surface exceeds 30 feet, approved aerial fire apparatus access roads shall be provided" (Section D105.1)" and "Aerial fire apparatus access roads shall have a minimum unobstructed width of 26 feet, exclusive of shoulders, in the immediate vicinity of the building or portion thereof" (D105.2).

The LACSD operates County detention facilities, participates in rehabilitation programs, crime prevention programs, and programs to suppress delinquency, assists in the functions of the superior and municipal courts, maintains security, and directs and coordinates emergency services. The LACSD provides police services to all unincorporated County areas and, under contract, to 58 municipalities within the County, including the City of Diamond Bar. The LACSD's Walnut -Diamond Bar Station (231695 E. Valley Boulevard, Walnut 91789) is located approximately 0.5 miles west of Brea Canyon Road. The station generally serves the Cities of Diamond Bar, Rowland Heights, Walnut and the unincorporated areas of Covina Hills and West Covina. The LACSD routinely reviews proposed development plans as part of City's plan check process and, as appropriate, provides the Department comments thereupon. As reported by the LACSD, "Part I" crime statistics for the Walnut -Diamond Bar Station for the 2017 and 2018 calendar years are summarized in Table 4 (2017-2018 "Part I" Crime Statistics for the Walnut -Diamond Bar Station).96 As noted therein, during that period, the number of rapes, robberies, violent crimes, and arson increased while the number of aggravated assaults, larceny thefts, grand automobile thefts, and total property crimes increased. The number of reported burglaries and total "Part I" crimes remained statistically unchanged. Educational Facilities As illustrated in Figure 39 (Walnut Valley Unified School District Boundaries), the project site is located within the boundaries of the Walnut Valley Unified School District. The nearest public school facilities to the subject property include Walnut Elementary School (841 Glenwick Avenue, Walnut) and Ron Hockwalt Academies (High School) (476 Lemon Avenue, Industry). Section 17620 of the California Education Code (CEC) authorizes school districts to assess development fees within district boundaries to fund the construction or reconstruction of school facilities, subject to the limitations set forth in Chapter 4.9 (commencing with Section 65995) of the CGC. Section 65995(h) of the CGC provides that "[t]he payment or satisfaction of a fee, charge, or other requirement levied or imposed pursuant to Section 17620 of the Education Code in the amount specified in Section 65995 and, if applicable, any amounts specified in Section 65995.5 or 65995.7 are hereby deemed to be full and complete mitigation of the impacts of any legislative or adjudicative act, or both, involving, but not limited to, the planning, use, or development of real property, or any change in governmental organization or reorganization as defined in Section 56021 or 56073, on the provision of adequate school facilities." 96/ "Part I" offenses are used by law enforcement agencies throughout the United States to reveal the extent and trend in criminal activity. Any significant change from the anticipated pattern of the figures alerts law enforcement administrators to possible problem areas.

Because none of the above referenced documents describe the manner in which "response time" is to be defined, reliance upon a single numeric standard does not ensure a reasonable basis for assessing compliance. The National Fire Protection Association's "NFPA 1710" (Standards for the Organization and Deployment of Fire Suppression Operations, Emergency Medical Operations, and Special Operations to the Public by Career Fire Departments) defines "total response time" as the "time interval from the receipt of the alarm at the primary PSAP [public safety answering point] to when the first emergency response unit is initiating action or intervening to control the incident.'99 In accordance therewith, total response time is defined as being inclusive of the following three distinct phases: (1) Phase One (Alarm Handling Time), inclusive of alarm, alarm answering time, alarm transfer time, alarm handling time, and alarm processing time; (2) Phase Two (Turnout Time and Travel Time); and (3) Phase Three (Initiating Action/ Intervention Time)'noo Phase One: Alarm Handling Time Public safety answering point. `Public safety answering point" is "a facility in which 9-1-1 calls are answered" (NFPA 1710, Section 3.3.42); Alarm answering time. `Alarm answering time" is the "time interval that begins when the alarm is received at the communication center and ends when the alarm is acknowledged at the communication center" (NFPA 1710 Section 3.3.53.1); Alarm transfer time. "Alarm transfer time" is the "time interval from the receipt of the emergency alarm at the PSAP [public safety answering point] until the alarm is first received at the communication center" (NFPA 1710, Section 3.3.53.4); Alarm handing time. 'Alarm handing time" is the "time interval from the receipt of the alarm at the primary PSAP until the beginning of the transmittal of the response information via voice or electronic means to emergency response facilities (ERFs) or the emergency response units (ERUs) in the field" (NFPA 1710, Section 3.2.53.3); and Alarm processing time. 'Alarm processing time" is the "time interval from when the alarm is acknowledged at the communication center until response information begins to be transmitted via voice or electronic means to emergency response facilities (ERFs) and emergency response units" (NFPA 1710, Section 3.3. 53.3). Phase Two: Turnout Time and Travel Time Turnout time. "Turnout time" is the "time interval that begins when the emergency response facilities (ERFs) and emergency response units (ERUs) notification process begins by an audible alarm or visual annunciation or both and ends at the beginning point of travel time" (NFPA 1710, Section 3.3.53.8); and Travel time. "Travel time" is the "time interval that begins when the unit is en route to the emergency incident and ends when the unit arrives at the scene" (NFPA 1710, Section 3.3.53.7). 99/ National Fire Protection Association, NFPA 1710 Implementation Guide: NFPA 1710 Standards on Fire Department Deployment and Operations, 2002 Edition, Section 3.3.53.6. goo/ Ibid., Annex A (Explanatory Material), Section A.3.53.6 (Total Response Time) .

'Initiating action/intervention time" is the "time interval from when a unit arrives on the scene to the initiation of emergency mitigation" (NFPA 1710, Section 3.3.53.5). Based on the manner in which response times are fully characterized, the response times presented in Table 4 (Los Angeles County Fire Department - Fire Stations in the General Project Area) do not appear to fully characterize or accurately represent total emergency response time. As recommended in NFPA 1710, with regards to structural fires, fire departments are encouraged to establish the following time objectives: (1) 80 seconds for turnout time and operations response and one minute (60 seconds) turnout time for emergency medical service (EMS) response; (2) Four minutes (240 seconds) or less travel time for the arrival of the first arriving engine company at a fire suppression incident; (3) Eight minutes (480 seconds) or less travel time for the deployment of an initial full alarm assignment at a fire suppression incident; (4) Four minutes (240 seconds) or less for the arrival of a unit with first responder with automatic external defibrillator (AED) or higher level capability at an emergency medical incident; and (5) Eight minutes (480 seconds) or less travel time for the arrival of an advanced life support (ALS) unit at an emergency medical incident, where this service is provided by the fire department provided a first responder with ASD or basic life support (BLS) unit arrived in 240 second or less travel time.10' As further recommended in "NFPA 1710," the "fire department shall establish a performance objective of not less than 90 percent for the achievement of each turnout time and travel time objectives. 002 Neither the County nor the City has adopted NFPA 1710 as a formal standard. Because, as indicated in Table 4 (Los Angeles County Fire Stations in the General Project Area), the LACoFD has the ability to achieve the performance standards recommended therein from multiple fire stations, the resulting impact would be less than significant. 1 b) Less -than -Significant Impact. Although certain uses may be predisposed to certain types of criminal activities, crime statistics neither typically characterized as either "residential" or "non-residential" (commercial property) crimes nor draw distinctions between the types of residential (single-family and multi -family) and commercial (gas stations, shopping centers, convenience stores, banks, movie theatres, and offices). The United States Department of Justice's "Uniform Crime Reporting Program" divides offenses "Part I" and "Part II" crimes. "Part I" offenses include criminal homicide, forcible rape (excluding statutory offenses), robbery, aggravated assault, burglary (breaking or entering), larceny -theft (excluding motor vehicle theft), motor vehicle theft, and arson. "Part II" offenses include other assaults (where no weapon was used), forgery and counterfeiting, fraud, embezzlement, stolen property (buying, receiving, and possessing), vandalism, weapons (carrying and possessing), prostitution and commercial vice (unlawful promotion of or participation in sexual activities for profit), sex offenses (except forcible rape, prostitution, and commercial vice), drug abuse violation, gambling, offenses against the family and children (unlawful nonviolent acts by a family member), driving under the 101/ Ibid., Section 4.1.2.1. 112/ Ibid., Section 4.1.2.4.

It has been noted that "[c]rime is a relatively rare event which occurs in high concentrations in and around crime attractors and crime generators. Some land uses facilitate crime or disorder, but even amongst highly facilitative land -use types only some will have combinations of locations and characteristics that will be attractive to potential offenders. This importance of location means that there will be high and low crime areas in a city. There will be land uses that have higher crime rates, but not all units in that category will experience crime. Crimes tend to follow a power law: clustering intensely in some locations while tapering to few or no crimes in others. Land use can be seen as a selection filter that helps make the pattering of crime in an urban mosaic more understandable. 003 Administrative offices, medical offices, and hotels are common uses throughout the Los Angeles metropolitan area. No data has been identified by the Department suggesting that the proposed project presents a disproportional risk of encountering or contributor to criminal behavior. In a broad context, without inference that any of the following criminal conduct is or will be directly applicable to the proposed project, certain generalities can be posited with regards to each of the proposed uses.104 With regards to the proposed office use, other than the potential presence of pharmaceutics and limited cash for those medical offices accepting payment for services rendered, administrative and medical offices may be equally susceptible to similar criminal risks. Due to the concentration of unattended vehicles, property crimes, including motor vehicle offenses (vehicle thefts and their possessions) may be more prevalent in larger parking lots, including those with parking stalls reasonably removed from direct observation from adjoining windows. Although vehicle thefts may be more prevalent at residential premises, they are often more concentrated in parking lots. National data shows that vehicles are usually stolen at night, on streets, and close to residential properties with less than 20 percent stolen from business locations. Some types of businesses appear to be more prevalent in vehicle theft than others. Based on data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), 28 percent of the vehicle thefts at business premises occurred at offices and commercial properties. Additionally, a substantial amount of vehicle theft occurred at bars/nightclubs (15 percent), hotels/motels (7 percent), and at service stations/convenience stores (13 percent).105 With regards to the proposed hotel use, the nature of hotel crimes can be generally regarded as opportunistic and convenient. As a result, hotel crimes are more likely to be property related (e.g., burglary, robbery, and theft). 'Borrowing heavily from the rational choice tradition, routine activities posits that offenders elect to engage or refrain from crime based on a calculation. One item playing in the offender's favor with crime dedicated to tourists is appreciably greater likelihood of anonymity. The benefit of anonymity is coupled with a corresponding increase in their ability to detect tourists, a double prophylactic against 103/ Kinney, J.B., Brantingham, P.L., Wuschke, K., Kirk, M.G., Brantingham, P.J., Crime Attractors, Generators and Detractors: Land Use and Urban Crime Opportunities, Built Environment, Vol. 34, No. 1, 2008. 104/ Certain crimes in commercial facilities can be perpetrated by employees (e.g., fraud and embezzlement), showing no outward manifestation observable beyond the confines of those facilities.

As reported in "Exploring the Relationship between Hotel Characteristics and Crime" (January 1998),10' the authors noted that "security measures alone cannot ensure guests' safety; a hotel equipped with a comprehensive security system may still have a high number of crimes because employees are not trained for security awareness or screened for criminal records. Some hotels, due to their size and location, may also be at greater risk of being victimized. " Without suggesting any direct relationship to the proposed project, citing a study of 214 hotels conducted in 1994, crimes that happened most often in hotels involved thefts of guests' belongings, followed by automobile theft and burglary, and, to a much lesser degree, physical attacks, sexual assaults, robberies outside and around the premise, and robberies inside the premise. No detailed information on the proposed security measures to be incorporated into the project has been requested from or provided by the Applicant. Typically, hotels provide a variety of measures, including chain locks and dead bolts and one-way viewing mirrors on guest room doors; centralized -video camera systems; 24-hour security patrol on guest room floors; criminal record checks of new employees; printed safety tips on bulletin boards to educate guests about crime prevention; security instruction for new employees; and enhancing the lighting system and security measures at the parking lots surrounding the hotel. Those and other similar actions can reduce the number of potential incidences, enhance the real or perceived safety of site users, and potentially reduce emergency and non -emergency demands on the LACSD. No proximal dedicated parking is provided or proposed for the hotel. Site users would endeavor to find parking closest to their destinations. During high demand periods, more distal parking may be required. As a result, uniform lighting levels are encouraged throughout on -site parking areas. As noted in Figure 19 (Proposed "Brea Canyon Business Park" Project — Photometric Analysis), however, lighting levels in those parking areas located closest to the proposed hotel are often lower than comparable lighting levels in other on -site parking areas. Lighting levels attributable only to pole -mounted parking lot lighting would be enhanced by the presence of other exterior lighting, including building lighting and vehicle headlights. While the proposed project may incrementally contribute to Citywide demands for police services, the resulting increase would be less -than -significant. Because the Applicant, the "business -owners' association/condominium association" (BOA), or such other representative management entity created thereupon are each self -motivated to reduce criminal conduct affecting on -site businesses, visitors, and property alike, once operational, should conditions warrant, additional remedial actions can be instituted in response thereto (e.g., additional security personnel). The proposed office/hotel project is, therefore, neither expected to result in any substantial increase in "Part 1" or "Part 11" offenses predicating the need for additional law enforcement personnel nor contribute to any adverse physical 106/ Ho, T., Zhao, J., and Dooley, B., Hotel Crimes: An Unexplored Victimization in the Hospitality Industry, Security Journal, Vol. 30, No. 4, 2017. 107/ Huang, W.S., Hospitality Review Journal, Vol. 16, No. 1, Article 9, January 1998.

The proposed project is not expected to result in any substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of any new or physically altered school facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts. Because the proposed project does not have a residential component, project implementation will not result in any direct impacts to the WVUSD; however, new employment opportunities associated with the proposed office and hotel uses could promote household formation and/or the in -migration of families into the school district's boundaries. Local school districts are authorized to impose and collect school "impact fees" for all residential and non-residential development activities that occur within their jurisdiction to off -set the additional costs associated with the new students that result directly from the construction of new homes and indirectly from the creation of new employment opportunities. The governing board of any school district is authorized to levy a fee, charge, dedication, or other requirement against any construction within the boundaries of the district for the purpose of funding the construction or reconstruction of school facilities. The fee that can be imposed by the affected school district can vary based on the type of use proposed. Local school districts are authorize to adjust those fees for inflation every two (even numbered) years, as determined by the State Allocation Board (SAB) at its January meeting. As of August 2019, the fees assessed by the WVUSD are $2.97 per square foot for residential development and $0.47 per square foot commercial and industrial development. Payment of applicable fees (estimated to total $55, 681.37) to the WVUSD constitutes full and complete mitigation of project -related impacts on the provision of school facilities. Fees are collected by the City at the time building permits are issued. a4) Less -than -Significant Impact. No City -operated public parks or trails are presently located in the general project area and no planned or proposed facilities are identified in the "City of Diamond Bar Parks & Recreation Master Plan" (July 19, 2011). The proposed project is not expected to result in any substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of any new or physically altered recreational facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts. Non-residential uses typically do not directly impose substantial demands on recreational services and/or park facilities. Based on the project's size and the nature of the proposed uses, implementation would not be expected, either directly or indirectly, to substantively impact available recreational services and/or proximal recreational facilities. a5) No Impact.

'n 10 In accordance therewith, effective July 1, 2020, Section 15064.3 of the State CEQA Guidelines was recently (December 28, 2018) revised to read: (a) Purpose. This section describes specific considerations for evaluating a project's transportation impacts. Generally, vehicle miles traveled is the most appropriate measure of transportation impacts. For the purposes of this section, "vehicle miles traveled" refers to the amount and distance of automobile travel attributable to a project. Other relevant considerations may include the effects of the project on transit and non -motorized travel. Except as provided in subdivision (b)(2) below (regarding roadway capacity), a project's effect on automobile delay shall not constitute a significant environmental impact. (b) Criteria for Analyzing Transportation Impacts. (1) Land Use Projects. Vehicle miles traveled exceeding an applicable threshold of significance may indicate a significant impact. Generally, projects within one-half mile of either an existing major transit stop or a stop along an existing high quality transit corridor should be presumed to cause a less than significant transportation impact. Projects that decrease vehicle miles traveled in the project area compared to existing conditions should be presumed to have a less than significant transportation impact. (2) Transportation Projects. Transportation projects that reduce, or have no impact on, vehicle miles traveled should be presumed to cause a less than significant transportation impact. For roadway capacity projects, agencies have discretion to determine the appropriate measure of transportation impact consistent with CEQA and other applicable requirements. To the extent that such impacts have already been adequately addressed at a programmatic level, such as in a regional transportation plan EIR, a lead agency may tier from that analysis as provided in Section 15152. (3) Qualitative Analysis. If existing models or methods are not available to estimate the vehicle miles traveled for the particular project being considered, a lead agency may analyze the project's vehicle miles traveled qualitatively. Such a qualitative analysis would evaluate factors such as the availability of transit, proximity to other destinations, etc. For many projects, a qualitative analysis of construction traffic may be appropriate. (4) Methodology. A lead agency has discretion to choose the most appropriate methodology to evaluate a project's vehicle miles traveled, including whether to express the change in absolute terms, per capita, per household or in any other measure. A lead agency may use models to estimate a project's vehicle miles traveled, and may revise those estimates to reflect professional judgment based on substantial evidence. Any assumptions used to estimate vehicle miles traveled and any revisions to model outputs should be documented and explained in the environmental document prepared for the project. The standard of adequacy in Section 15151 shall apply to the analysis described in this section. 10/ State of California, Governor's Office of Planning and Research, Proposed Updates to the CEQA Guidelines, Final, November 2017, p. 77.

The provisions of this section shall apply prospectively as described in Section 15007. A lead agency may elect to be governed by the provisions of this section immediately. Beginning on July 1, 2020, the provisions of this section shall apply statewide. The California Air Resources Control Board (CARB) is responsible for developing a plan to detail how the State will achieve its GHG emissions reduction targets mandated by law. In January 2017, the CARB adopted "2017 Scoping Plan -Identified VMT Reductions and Relationship to State Climate Goals, " reflecting the Statewide GHG emissions reduction goals called for in SB 32 (40 percent below 1990 emissions levels by 2030). In the transportation sector, GHG emissions reducing measures identified therein included low carbon fuels, cleaner vehicles, and strategies to promote sustainable communities and improved transportation choices resulting in the curbing the growth in VMT. An additional source for the identification and assessment of the efficacy of VMT-based mitigation measures is the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association's (CAPCOA) "Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures" (August 2010). As reported by the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC): Three primary approaches can reduce VMT: changing land use patterns to reduce the need to drive; investing in mass transit and other alternatives to driving; and increasing the cost of driving and parking to encourage the use of alternatives. Although each of these strategies has received some attention in past planning efforts, SB 375 focuses specifically on ways to increase the effectiveness of these approaches."' Land use patterns — density, the proximity of jobs and housing, and design elements, such as shorter blocks and more street intersections — have a modest but often statistically significant effect on transportation behaviors, such as trip length, trip frequency, and the decision to drive or travel by other means. Evidence also suggests that people who live in denser neighborhoods drive less. But VMT reductions of more than a couple of percentage points would require increases in residential density that many researchers consider infeasible. Higher employment densities appear to boost transit ridership (and therefore reduce VMT) more than high residential densities, in part because it is relatively easy for workers to drive or bike from home (where their cars or bikes are) to a transit stop or station but not as easy to drive or bike from a transit station or stop to their workplace.12 As reported by UCLA's School of Public Affairs' Program: VMT is not an ideal proxy for vehicle greenhouse gas emissions. Fuel consumption is directly related to CO2 emissions at a rate of 8.81 kg CO2 per gallon of motor gasoline. Vehicle CO2 emissions account for 99.4% CO2-e of non -refrigerant vehicle greenhouse gas emissions. VMT is used to calculate N2O and CHa emissions, which account for the remaining .6%. VMT is used because the EPA and CARB calculate emissions from criteria pollutants and other gasses on a per mile basis, based on vehicle control technology. The link between VMT and greenhouse gas emissions is dependent on actual vehicle fuel efficiency, which varies based on driving behavior, average speed, 111/ Bedsworth, Louise, Hanak, Ellen, and Kolko, Jed, Driving Change — Reducing Vehicle Miles Traveled in California, Public Policy Institute of California, 2011, p. 6. 112/ Ibid.

Vehicle greenhouse gas emissions resulting from traffic congestion are significant. Traffic congestion reduces vehicle fuel economy versus uncongested travel. Greenhouse gas emissions resulting from traffic congestion in the Los Angeles area account for approximately 3.4 MMTCO2 per year, or roughly two-thirds of the 5 MMTCO2e reduction goal for SB 375 implementation from the AB 32 Scoping Plan. Statewide, congestion accounts for nearly 6 MMTCO2e of greenhouse gas emissions. These emissions would not be measured by a model that relied solely on VMT and ignored congestion. Not all vehicle greenhouse gas emissions are created equal. Greenhouse gas emissions from congestion are the result of an activity that hinders economic productivity. Because of vehicle idling and vehicle speed variance reduce fuel economy, vehicle CO2 emissions in congested conditions are higher per VMT than emissions resulting from uncongested travel. These emissions are unique in that they are negatively correlated to economic activity. Although traffic congestion is a symptom of economic success, it also serves to limit growth by imposing a deadweight loss in the form of travel delays. Even ignoring the environmental effects of congestion, a reduction in congestion would produce a net social benefit.13 In the context of SB 375, as part of a decision -making process, a focus on VMT appears most applicable where a CEQA lead agency is evaluating the comparable environmental implications of a proposed general plan amendment or zone change. Here, because the proposed project includes both a general plan amendment and a zone change, the consideration of VMT would appear warranted. As indicated in the project's traffic study, an estimated 911 new weekday trip ends associated with the proposed hotel and 1,166 new weekday trip ends associated with the proposed office uses (2,977 new weekday trip ends) based on generation rates formulated by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE).14 Based on default values in the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod), for the SCAB, assuming all hotel trips are comparable to "commercial -work" (C-W) and all office trips are comparable to "home -work" (H-W) trips, based on an average distance of 16.6 and 14.7 miles per trip, respectively.15 Based on those assumptions, the proposed project could generate approximately 32,264 total weekday vehicle miles traveled. Findings of Fact In order to more thoroughly assess potential traffic and transportation -related impacts, a detailed traffic impact analysis and separate shared -parking study were provided by the Applicant and independently reviewed and accepted for public release by Public Works. Technical studies used in the preparation of this analysis includes: (1) "Revised Traffic Impact Analysis Report — Brea 113/ University of California, Los Angeles, School of Public Affairs, The Ralph & Goldy Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies, Program in Local Government Climate Action Policies, Measuring Vehicle Greenhouse Gas Emission for SB 375 Implementation, undated, pp. 1-2. `/ Linscott Law & Greenspan, Revised Traffic Impact Analysis Report — Brea Canyon Business Center, Diamond Bar, California, August 23, 2019, Table 5-1 (Project Trip Generation), p. 16. 115/ California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (BREEZE Software), California Emissions Estimator Model, Appendix D (Default Data Tables), Table 4.2 (Mobile Trip Characteristics Dependent upon Location), October 2017, p.

Pursuant to Section 15150(a) of the State CEQA Guidelines, each of those project -related documents are incorporated herein by reference. Based on their size and/or technical nature, those technical studies are not physically included herein but are available for review at the Department during the Department's regular business hours. a) Less -than -Significant Impact. The corresponding provisions outlined in Section 22.40.030 (Transportation Demand Management Program Requirements) in Chapter 22.40 (Transportation Demand Management) of the MC neither specify the timing when project proponents are required to submit proposed project -specific transportation demand management (TDM) programs nor include any performance standards with regards thereto. Because the ordinance does not specify the timing for submitting the TDM program, the Department has discretion as to: (1) when that program should be submitted; and (2) beyond the minimum requirements specified in the MC, the level of specificity relating thereto. Since the requisite information could have implications relative to the configuration of the proposed site plan, at a minimum, the Department has both stipulated the timing for TDM program submittal and formulated specific performance standards relative to targeted reductions in both average daily vehicle trips (ADT) and vehicle miles traveled (VTM). As a recommended mitigation measure (MM_J, more detailed information beyond that incorporated on the proposed site plan shall be required prior to final subdivision map approval. b) No Impact. With regards to Section 15064.3(b) of the State CEQA Guidelines, because the Department has yet to formulate a methodology for assessing compliance therewith, no universally applicable, accurate, consistent, and transparent approach to calculating, analyzing, determining the significance of, and mitigating VMT impacts across a diversity of sectors presently exists. Additionally, the analysis called for therein does not yet constitute an obligatory obligation in CEQA documents where the City is the CEQA lead agency. c) Less -than -Significant Impact. Both with regards to vehicular and non -vehicular circulation, the proposed project's internal circulation system, including, but not limited to, ingress and egress, emergency access, turning radii, and parking have been reviewed and conditionally approved by Public Works. No inherently incompatible uses have been identified by the Department. d) Less -than -Significant Impact. With regards to emergency access, the Department has not identified any conflicts with regards to the applicable provisions of the 2016 CBC and 2016 CFC.

Tribal Cultural Resources Less than Significant Potentially Impact with Significant Mitigation Impact Incorporated Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource, defined in Section 21074 of the Public Resources Code as either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American tribe, and that is: Less than Significant No Impact Impact (a) Listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historic Resources, or in a local register of ❑ ❑ ❑ historical resources as defined in Section 5020.1 of the Public Resources Code; or (b) A resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in Section 5024.1(c) of the Public Resources Code. In applying ❑ ❑ ® ❑ the criteria set forth in Section 5024.1(c) of the Public Resources Code, the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resource to a California Native American tribe. Background Information As mandated under SB 18 (Chapter 905, Statutes of 2004) and Assembly Bill (AB) 52 (Chapter 532, Statutes of 2014) (Section 21080.3.1, CEQA), certain consultation requirements apply when adopting or amending general plans. Prior to the adoption of or a "substantial amendment" to a general plan, the Lead Agency must refer the proposed action to those tribes on the Native American Heritage Commission's (NAHC) contact list and have traditional lands located within the City's jurisdiction. The referral must allow a 45-day comment period (Section 65352, CGC). The principal objective of SB 18 is the preservation and protection of "cultural places" of California Native Americans, as defined in Sections 5097.9 and 5097.993 of the Public Resources Code (PRC). Prior to the adoption or amendment of a general plan, the local government must: (1) notify the appropriate California Native American tribe of the opportunity to conduct consultation for the purpose of preserving or mitigating impacts to cultural places; (2) refer the proposed action to those tribes that are on the NAHC contact list that have traditional lands within the agency's jurisdiction; and (3) send notice of a public hearing to tribes that have filed a written request for such notice. AB 52 (Native American Historic Resource Protection Act), which added "tribal cultural resources" (TCR) to the list of specific cultural resources protected under CEQA, applies to all projects on or after July 1, 2015, for which a lead agency has issued a "Notice of Preparation" for an environmental impact report (EIR) or a "Notice of Intent" (NOI) to adopt a negative declaration or September 2019 Part II: Environmental Checklist Form Page II-90 Initial Study Packet Pg. 536 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project DIAMOND BAR 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 mitigated negative declaration (MND). In accordance with AB 52 therewith, following receipt of NAHC's contact list, lead agencies shall provide an invitation for tribal consultation to each of the Native American groups and organizations listed thereupon. As defined in Section 21074(a) of CEQA, "tribal cultural resources" consist of either of the following: "(1) Sites, features, places, cultural landscapes, sacred places, and objects with cultural value to a California Native American tribe that are either of the following: (A) Included or determined to be eligible for inclusion in the California Register of Historical Resources. (B) Included in a local register of historical resources as defined in subdivision (k) of Section 5020.1; or (2) A resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Section 5024.1 "of the PRC. In defining a "cultural landscape," Section 21074(b) of CEQA states that "[a] cultural landscape that meets the definition of (Section 210741 subsection (a) is a tribal cultural resource to the extent that the landscape is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the landscape." Tribal Consultation Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52) (Section 21080.3.1[b]-[e] and 21080.3.2, PRC) requires that the City consult with California Native American tribes identified by the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) for the purpose of mitigating any potential project -related impacts to tribal cultural resources. Additionally, Senate Bill 18 (SB 18) (Section 65352.3, CGC) requires local governments to consult with tribes prior to taking certain planning actions. Prior to the approval of any general or specific plan or an amendment thereto, a local government must notify those tribes identified on the NAHC's contact list of the opportunity to conduct consultation for the purpose of preserving or mitigation impacts on cultural places that may be affected by the proposed action. On July 24, 2019, through written correspondence, the Department provided government -to - government notification to those tribal contacts identified by the NAHC. In response to the Department's outreach efforts, the Gabrielino Tongva Indians of California Tribal Council and the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians - Kitz Nation responded to the City's invitation for tribal consultation. In a meeting conducted at City Hall (21810 Copley Drive, Diamond Bar), Department staff met with a representative of the Gabrielino Tongva Indians of California Tribal Council on August 22, 2019. In addition, Department staff conducted a telephone conference with representatives of the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians - Kitz Nation on September 5, 2019. Both the Department's outreach efforts are included in Appendix H (Tribal Consultation) herein. Findings of Fact a) No Impact. The project is vacant and all improvements located thereupon have been removed. As part of those demolition activities, the project site has been highly disturbed and any near -surface features or other objects removed therefrom. As a result, the property is not eligible for inclusion in the California Register of Historic Resources and has never been included in any local registry. Since the project site exists in an urbanized setting, other than within the limits of the property itself, the landscape cannot be otherwise defined in term of size and scope.

Although the precise language of the proposed excavation monitoring measures were not discussed in substantial detail, it was the Department's understanding that both the Gabrielino Tongva Indians of California Tribal Council and the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians - Kitz Nation were supportive of such actions. Pursuant to Section 21080.3.2(b)(1) of CEQA, in compliance with AB 52, all parties appear to be in general agreement as to the measures to be undertaken by the City to mitigate or avoid any potential significant effect to tribal cultural resources that might be associated with the approval, construction, and operation of the proposed project. The Department, therefore, has preliminarily concluded that tribal consultation with those Native American tribes that formally requested consultation has now successfully concluded.

Background Information In order for the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County (CDLAC or Sanitation Districts) to conform to the requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA), the design capacities of the Sanitation Districts' wastewater treatment facilities are based on the regional growth forecast adopted by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). Specific policies included in the development of the SCAG regional growth forecast are incorporated into clean air plans prepared by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) in order to improve air quality in the South Coast Air Basin. All expansions of Sanitation Districts' facilities must be sized and their services phased in a manner that will be consistent with the SCAG's regional growth forecasts. The available capacity of the Sanitation Districts' treatment facilities will, therefore, be limited to levels associated with the approved growth identified by SCAG. Although the proposed project includes both a general plan amendment and zone change, neither action fundamentally changes the nature of the project site's planned non-residential use nor changes the allowable floor -area -ratio that could be developed thereupon. As a result, notwithstanding those actions, the proposed development would appear consistent with SCAG's Part II: Environmental Checklist Form September 2019 Initial Study Page II-93 7.1.g Packet Pg. 539 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project JLv 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAR regional growth projections relative to reasonably foreseeable development activities occurring within the City during SCAG's most -recent planning horizon. Findings of Fact a) Less -than -Significant Impact. As illustrated in Figure 40 (Walnut Valley Water District — Existing Water Facilities [August 2010]), Figure 41 (Diamond Bar Truck Sewer Main in Brea Canyon Road [Drawing 21 — P-0019]), and in Figure 42 (Portion of the Consolidated Sewer Maintenance District Operations Map [Sheet 2348]), water and wastewater facilities of sufficient size and capacity presently serve the project site. Included in Appendix I (Service Commitments) are "will-serve"letters received from the Walnut Valley Water District (WVWD or District) and the County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County (CSDLAC). b) Less -than -Significant Impact. Water services, including potable water and fire flow, are provided by the WVWD. Existing water facilities within the general project area, including an 18-inch diameter asbestos cement pipe (ACP) water main within Brea Canyon Road, are illustrated in Figure 40 (Walnut Valley Water District — Existing Water Facilities (August 2010]). The WVWD has concluded that the "District is prepared to continue to provide water service to the location and hereby certifies that the current water facilities are adequate to meet any increased demands for this specific project 116 c) Less -than -Significant Impact. The CSDLAC constructs, operates, and maintains trunk sewers and wastewater treatment and disposal facilities serving residential, industrial, institutional, and commercial users throughout a major portion of the County. Local wastewater collection systems (lateral sewers) are constructed, operated, and maintained by other public agencies, including the County and various cities. Such systems are typically tributary to and discharge into the CSDLAC's sewerage systems. Operation and maintenance of local sewers and laterals that connect to CSDLAC's trunk sewers are the responsibilities of local jurisdictions. The project site is located in District 21. Local sewer lines in the general project area, which are not maintained by the CSDLAC, convey wastewater to a 27-inch diameter RCP gravity trunk sewer main (Diamond Bar Trunk Sewer) located in Brea Canyon Road. That truck sewer has a capacity of 24.7 mgd and conveyed a peak flor of 4 mgd when last measured in 2014. Presented in Figure 41 (Diamond Bar Truck Sewer Main in Brea Canyon Road [Drawing 21- P-0019]) is the corresponding section drawing extending between the Pomona (SR-60) Freeway (identified as Fifth Avenue) and Lycoming Street, discharging to the District 21 Outfall Trunk Sewer south of Valley Boulevard. A portion of the corresponding Los Angeles County Department of Public Works' Sewer Maintenance District Map is presented in Figure 42 (Portion of the Consolidated Sewer Maintenance District Operations Map (Sheet 2348]) Municipal sewer flows generated within the City are treated at the CSDLAC's San Jose Creek Water Reclamation Plant (SJWRP) (1965 Workman Mill Road, Industry).

The JWPCP has a capacity of 400 mgd and currently processes an average flow of about 256 mgd. Relative to wastewater, the Sanitation Districts have formulated estimated loading rates for different land uses."' Based on a flow rate (gallons per day [gpd]) of 125 gpd/hotel room and 200 gpd/1,000 square feet of office use, the proposed project is expected to generate approximately 37,320 gallons of wastewater per day (13,625 + 23,695 = 37,320). Applying a peaking factor of 2.7, the peaked flow rate would be about 100, 764 gallons of wastewater per day (0.1 mgd). A "truck sewer connection permit" is required from the CSDLA for any the direct connection of a 6-inch diameter or smaller private sewer lateral to Sanitation Districts' trunk sewers. The CSDLAC are authorized by the H&SC to charge a fee for the privilege of connecting (directly or indirectly) to the Sanitation Districts' sanitary sewer system or increasing the existing strength and/or quantity of wastewater attributable to a particular parcel or operation already connected. This connection fee is a capital facilities fee that is imposed in an amount sufficient to construct an incremental expansion of the sewerage system to accommodate project -related demands. Payment of the connection fee is required prior to the issuance of a permit to connect to the sewer line. As stipulated in the "Los Angeles County Code of Ordinance" (County Code), no sewer construction permit shall be issued until the County Engineer (Section 20.32.040, County Code) and the Public Works Director (Section 20.32.420, County Code) has approved the project's final sewer plans. As further stipulated in the City's Municipal Code, no sewer construction permit shall be issued until the City Engineer has checked and approved the plans (Section 13.00.640, MC) and a sewer construction permit may be issued (Section 13.00.1200, MC). Since adequate provisions exist under the County Code and Municipal Code, the identified impact would be less than significant and no mitigation measures are recommended or required. d) Less -than -Significant Impact. Relative to construction wastes, because the project site is presently vacant, no or only minimal site clearance and/or demolition wastes will be generated from the proposed project. Pursuant to Section 8.16.610 (Construction or Demolition Waste) in Division 6 (Construction and Demolition Waste) in Title 8 (Health and Safety) of the MC: "Every covered construction project shall divert at least 75 percent, measured by weight, of all construction/demolition waste generated by the covered construction project. " "Covered construction projects" include all "construction, demolition or remodel projects of 1,000 square feet or more." Compliance therewith will reduce construction and demolition (C&D) wastes to the maximum extent feasible. Relative to operational wastes, operational waste generation factors are presented in the California Emissions Estimator Model (CaIEEMOD) based on a variety of land uses. The following generation rates are projected therein: (1) medical office (10.8 tons/year/1,000 square feet and 3.09 tons/year/employee); (2) general office building (0.93 tons/year/1,000 117/ Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County, Table 1 (Loading for Each Class of Land Use), undated (https://www.lacsd.org/wastewater/wiIIserveprogram.asp). September 2019 Page II-98 Part II: Environmental Checklist Form Initial Study Packet Pg. 544 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project DIAMOND BAR 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 square feet); (3) hotel (0.55 tons/year/room and 1.95 tons/year/employee). "a Note that medical wastes are more than 11.6 times greater than general office wastes on a square footage basis and would be assumed to include a different composition of those wastes. Assuming 31,998 square feet of general office use, 24,730 square feet of medical office use, and 109 hotel rooms, the proposed project is projected to generate approximately 356.73 tons of solid waste per year (267.01 + 29.76 + 59.96 = 356.73), the majority of which would be wastes generated from medical offices. Not all of which may be categorized as solid waste and may, therefore, be subject to specific prohibitions. California operates a "cradle -to -grave" tracking system for medical waste. Generators of medical waste are required to register with their respective Local Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) and are legally responsible to ensure that medical waste generated by their facilities are treated appropriately and managed in a manner that protects the public and the environment by minimizing or eliminating the risk of exposure to agents that cause disease. The Medical Waste Management Act (MWMA) required that "tracking documents" accompany medical waste from their point of generation through transport to a "medical waste treatment facility" and point of destruction. The MWMA also governs the proper storage of medical waste, treatment for different types of medical wastes, requirements for generators of medical waste, operating conditions for medical waste treatment facilities; and jurisdictional oversight by State or local authorities. As specified in Section 20889 (Medical Waste) in Title 27 of the CCR, unless treated and deemed to be solid waste, those medical wastes that are regulated pursuant to the MWMA shall not be accepted for disposal at solid waste landfills. As further specified in Section 17408.2 (Medical Waste) in Title 14 of the CCR, unless treated and deemed to be solid waste, medical wastes regulated pursuant to the MWMA shall not be accepted at an operation or facility, unless approved by the appropriate regulatory agency.1' Both landfills (27 CCR 20880) and construction and inert debris transfer processing facilities (14 CCR 17408.2) prohibit the receipt of medical wastes which have not be treated to be received and disposed. Although medical waste (Section 117690[a], H&SC) is always prohibited, treated medical waste (which is considered to be solid waste) is allowed on a case -by -case basis, depending on the facility's permit, the local enforcement agency (LEA), the nature of the environmental review which was performed for the site, and whether the operator elects to accept it. In order to be considered a solid waste, medical waste may be treated by incineration, steam sterilization (autoclave), extremely high temperature (>1,300°F), or by other methods approved by the CDPH. Since no such treatment processes are assumed to operate on the project site, medical wastes would be individually collected from each medical waste generator by either "self- transport'n20 or licensed "medical waste transporters" and transported to a State -licensed 118/ California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (BREEZE Software), California Emissions Estimator Model, Appendix D (Default Data Tables), Table 10.1 (Solid Waste Disposal Rates), October 2017, pp. D-351-352. 119/ Some types of household medical wastes are specifically excluded from the definition of medical wastes. Medical waste generated by home health care can include dressings, bandages, diapers, and medicines. Current law requires that all sharps waste be transported to a collection center in an approved sharps container. 120/ Prior to 2014 amendments to the MWMA under Assembly Bill (AB) 333, the act allowed medical waste generators to self -transport small quantities of medical waste through the issuance of a "limited quantity hauling exemption" permit through their respective LEA. AB 333 replaced that exemption with the United States Department of Part II: Environmental Checklist Form Initial Study September 2019 Page II-99 Packet Pg. 545 7.1.g Brea Canyon Business Park Project �® 850 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, California 91789 DIAMOND BAR off -site "medical waste treatment facility" or transfer station. Off -site treatment facilities are required to scan for radioactive materials in the medical waste stream. Subject to Department of Toxic Substances Control (DISC) registration, excluding limited provisions for self -transport, only those medical waste transporters listed with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) are allowed to transport medical waste (Section 118025, H&SC). Section 118029 of the H&SC requires medical waste transporters to submit to CDPH a quarterly report of all medical waste generators that they service and file that information with the Medical Waste Management Program in an electronic format. Quarterly reports are required within ten days of the close of each calendar quarter ending March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. In response to the passage of Assembly Bill 333 (Statutes of 2014), amending the MWMA, the CDHC issued a legislatively mandated report to the California legislature outlining State policies relating to medical wastes. Provided for informational purposes, that report, entitled "Medical Waste Report to the Legislature" (February 2016), which predated further amendments to the MWMA adopted in 2017, is included in Appendix J (Medical Waste Report to the Legislature (February 2016]) herein. In addition, although likely outdated, for informational purposes, presented in Appendix K (Dental, Medical and Veterinary Offices: Managing Your Hazardous Wastes [July 2009]) is a 2009 DTSC "fact sheet" relating to the management of hazardous wastes associated with medical offices. The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has established and enforces standards to ensure safe working conditions for employees. OSHA enforces the blood -borne pathogen standard to ensure the safety of workers who may be exposed to biological fluids potentially containing etiologic agents that could cause disease. The United States Postal Service (USPS) has authority over waste sent through the mail and the USDOT regulates commercial transport of medical waste over public roads. The improper on -site and/or off -site generation, collection, storage, transport, and disposal of medical wastes, as those wastes are defined under the MWMA, including the potential placement of such wastes in on -site trash receptacles, could introduce safety hazards to employees, other site users, and medical waste transporters; however, under CEQA, it is assumed that all existing rules, procedures, protocols, policies, laws, regulations, and standards applicable to the proposed project and the uses thereupon are strictly adhered to (14 CCR 15145). It is, therefore, assumed that all such rules, procedures, protocols, policies, laws, regulations, and standards relating to the generation, collection, storage, transport, and disposal of medical wastes are strictly adhered to. The City does not require that each operator of a medical office provide public notification of the types or quantities of medical wastes being generated. Similarly, it is unlikely that the Applicant, the BOA, or such other representative management entity created thereupon would request or maintain such records. Relative to non -medical wastes, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) (45 CFR Part 16) establish national standards to protect individuals' medical records and other personal health information and applies to health plans, health-care clearinghouses, and health care providers that conduct certain health care transactions Transportation (USDOT) materials of trade (MOT) exception (49 CFR 173.6). While somewhat similar, the MOT exception does not require registration or issuance of a permit.

The HIPPA Privacy Rule requires appropriate safeguards to protect the privacy of personal health information and sets limits and conditions on the uses and disclosures that may be made of such information without patient authorization. The rule requires that covered entities apply appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the privacy of protected health information (PHI), in any form (45 CFR 164.530[c]). This means that covered entities must implement reasonable safeguards to limit incidental and avoid prohibited, uses, and disclosures of PHI, including in connection with the disposal of such information. In addition, the HIPAA Security Rule requires that covered entities implement policies and procedures to address the final disposition of electronic PHI and/or the hardware or electronic media on which it is stored, as well as to implement procedures for removal of electronic PHI from electronic media before the media are made available for re -use (45 CFR 164.310[d][2][i] and fii]). Because failing to implement reasonable safeguards to protect PHI in connection with disposal could result in impermissible disclosures of PHI, it cannot be reasonably assumed that any such protected information would be disposed on -site as routine solid waste.121 e) Less -than -Significant Impact. The Department is not in possession of any information concerning the potential project -specific violation of any federal, State, and/or local management and reduction statutes and regulations related to solid wastes. 121/ Federal law increased penalties for HIPAA violations up to $1.5 million per violation. Civil penalties range from $100 to $50,000 per violation. Criminal penalties for lying to defraud a victim include a maximum $100,000 fine and up to five years in prison. Anyone who violates HIPAA rules to sell, transfer, or use PHI for commercial advantage, personal gain, or malicious harm faces up to a $250,000 fine and 10 years in prison.

(c) Require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines or ❑ ❑ ❑ H other utilities) that may exacerbate fire risks or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment? (d) Expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslope or downstream flooding or ❑ ❑ ❑ H landslides, as a result of runoff, post -fire slope instability, or drainage changes? Background Information Under AB 337, passed in 1992, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CDF or CalFIRE) was required to identify and classify fire hazards in "Local Responsibility Areas" (LRA). The law mandated fire hazard assessments and zoning and included related minimum fire hazard standards to be adopted at the local level. As required under Sections 51175-51189 in Division 1, Title 5 of the CGC, the CDF, acting in cooperation with local fire authorities, shall identify areas in the State as "very high fire hazard severity zones" (VHFHSZ) within designated State Responsibility Areas (SRAs),122 based on consistent Statewide criteria addressing the severity of fire hazards expected to prevail in those areas. Very high fire hazard severity zones shall be based on fuel loading, slope, fire weather, and other relevant factors.123 "Fire Hazard Severity Zones" are geographical areas designated pursuant to Sections 4201 through 4204 of the PRC and classified as "very high, " "high, " or "moderate" in SRAs (defined as those areas identified pursuant to Section 4102 of the PRC) or as local agency "very high fire hazard severity zones" (VHFHSZs) defined as those areas designated by the CFD Director 122/ As defined in Section 4102 of the PRC, SRAs are "areas of the state in which the financial responsibility of preventing and suppressing fires has been determined ... to be primarily the responsibility of the state." 123/ Pursuant to Section 51179 of the CGC, local agencies can accept or reject the CDF's VHFHSZ assessment and delineation and can alter and update VHFHSZ boundaries as deemed necessary.

Beyond serving as an acknowledgement that any area so designated may be subject to wildfire hazards, the VHFHSZ designation imposes specific development -related obligations affecting new construction projects. Pursuant to Chapter 7A and Section R337 in the 2016 CBC, all new structures built within the VHFHSZ shall be constructed to resist the intrusion of embers and the possibility of ignition from fire. These construction features include non-combustible (Class "A') roofing materials and installation processes, ventilation location and design, glazing and door requirements, and fire -resistive construction materials and methods for the exterior surface.

Dear Mr. Lee, I am writing as a follow-up to my recent on -site inspections of the existing trees within the referenced site that is planning for redevelopment. This correspondence is prepared to accompany the 'Excel' document that was prepared to index the existing specimen trees within the site. Observations I have reviewed and inventoried a total of 96 existing mature specimen trees within the site. This number includes one Mexican fan palm which is not a tree but is included herein based upon its status as a large plant with a woody stem. The inventory includes the following breakdown by tree type: 53 evergreen ash (Fraxinus uhdei) 26 Californa & Brazilian Peppers (Schinus species) 7 yew pine (Podocarpus henkelii) 4 gum trees (Eucalyptus species) 2 coast beefwood (Casuarina stricta) 1 Mexican fan palm (Washingtonia robusta) 1 evergreen elm (Ulmus parvifolia) 1 European olive (Olea europaea) 1 evergreen pear (Pyrus kawakami) None of the 96 individuals are native species. There are not any oaks (Quercus species), California sycamores (Platanus racemosa), California black walnuts (Juglans caifornica), or other native species trees within the site's existing tree inventory. With the exception of the Mexican fan palm the existing trees exhibit poor conditions including drought stress, under -pruning, and in many cases mis-guided and poorly affected pruning.

PARTS 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 10, AND 11) WITH LOCAL AMENDMENTS. STRATEGIC GOAL: Safe, Sustainable & Healthy Community RECOMMENDATION: Open the public hearing, receive public testimony, introduce first reading by title only, waive full reading of Ordinance No. XX (2019) and set for public hearing, second reading and adoption at the December 3, 2019 City Council meeting. BACKGROUND: Every three years, the California Building Standards Commission updates the California Building Standards Codes ("California Codes"), a compendium of construction standards intended to ensure that buildings are constructed and renovated in a manner that is safe, energy -efficient and green, and provides a decent quality of life for the buildings' occupants. The commission published the 2019 updates this past July. The California Codes serve as the baseline construction standards for all local governments in the state. Cities and counties are permitted to adopt local amendments to the California Codes that are reasonably necessary to address local climatic, geologic and topographic conditions. Local amendments may also be adopted to address quality -of -life values, such as preventing blight caused by abandoned construction projects. Staff is requesting the City Council introduce for first reading Ordinance No. XX(2019) to amend Title 15 (Building and Construction Safety) of the Diamond Bar Municipal Code (Attachment 1). The twofold purpose of the ordinance is to adopt the 2019 California Codes, and those local amendments warranted by the above criteria. For the most part, the 2019 local amendments are simply carryovers from prior code updates; substantive changes are provided in the following paragraphs. The Packet Pg. 610 7.2 codification protocols that the California Building Standards Commission follows routinely lead to occasional renumbering of identical code provisions when comparing the 2019 California Codes to prior versions. To avoid confusion, this report focuses on the actual changes in content, rather than making any attempt to cross-reference the numbering changes between the current and old codes. DBMC TITLE 15 AMENDMENT SUMMARY: The following is a summary of changes between the local amendments adopted in 2016 and those proposed for 2019: CBC 105.3.2 & 105.5 — Plan Check and Permit Expiration — The State legislature amended Health and Safety Code 18938.5(b)(2)(B) by changing the exception relative to the permit expiration time period from 180-days to 12 months for residential construction. CBC 3109.4.1 — Pool Barriers — In the 2016 California Building Code, this section identified specific pool fencing/barrier requirements around properties which are not contained in the 2019 California Building Code. The State determined this was under local jurisdiction purview and did not publish some of these requirements.' The attached ordinance therefore incorporates the pool barrier requirements as a local amendment. CBC 1612.5 — Flood Hazard — Flood hazard areas are mapped locations on properties that are subject to storm damage and are to be maintained during a storm event. The language added comes from other sections of the California Building Code and are included for clarity. There are no substantive changes. The revisions are in order to clarify intent to maintain safety in all flood hazard areas. For convenience, a redline/strikeout version of the proposed ordinance (Attachment 2) is also attached to show where changes were made as compared to the 2016 Building Code adoption ordinance. PREPARED BY: • I "�­I_A-4uiilfflh._Officral / ! • TheCalifornia Building Standard Commission created a bulletin (19-06) to clarify that it does not have the authority to adopt pool regulations (Attachment 3).

XX (2019) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR AMENDING TITLE 15 OF THE DIAMOND BAR CITY CODE AND ADOPTING, BY REFERENCE, THE 2019 CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE, VOLUMES 1 AND 2, INCLUDING CHAPTER 1 DIVISION II, AND APPENDICES C, I, AND J THERETO, THE 2019 CALIFORNIA MECHANICAL CODE, AND THE APPENDICES THERETO, THE 2019 CALIFORNIA PLUMBING CODE, AND THE APPENDICES THERETO, THE 2019 CALIFORNIA ELECTRICAL CODE, AND THE APPENDICES THERETO, THE 2019 CALIFORNIA RESIDENTIAL CODE, INCLUDING APPENDICES H, J, K, AND O THERETO, AND THE 2019 CALIFORNIA GREEN BUILDING CODE, WITHOUT THE APPENDICES THERETO, AND TITLE 26 OF THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY BUILDING CODE, AND THE UNIFORM HOUSING CODE TOGETHER WITH CERTAIN AMENDMENTS, ADDITIONS, DELETIONS AND EXCEPTIONS. (i) California Government Code Section 50022.1 et seq., authorizes the City of Diamond Bar to adopt by reference the 2019 California Building Code; the 2019 California Mechanical Code; the 2019 California Plumbing Code; the 2019 California Electrical Code; the 2019 California Residential Code; and the 2019 Green Building Code as set forth in the California Code of Regulations, Title 24, parts 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, and 11. (ii) Pursuant to the California Health and Safety Code Sections 17922, 17958, 17958.5 and 17958.7, the City may make modifications to the Title 24 building standards and requirements that it deems reasonably necessary to protect the health, welfare and safety of the citizens of Diamond Bar because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions. (iii) At least one copy of each of the codes and standards identified in this Ordinance and certified as full, true and correct copies thereof by the City Clerk of the City of Diamond Bar have been filed in the office of the City Clerk in accordance with the provisions of California Government Code Section 50022.6. (iv) The City introduced for first reading this Ordinance on November 19, 2019, at which time all interested persons had the opportunity to appear and be heard on the matter of adopting the codes and standards identified in this Ordinance as amended herein. (v) Pursuant to California Government Code Section 6066, the City published notice of the public hearing on November 8, 2019 and November 22, 2019 for the hearing set forth in subsections (iv) above and (vi) below. (vi) The City held a public hearing on December 3, 2019, at which time all interested persons had the opportunity to appear and be heard on the matter of adopting the codes and standards identified in this Ordinance as amended herein. 1453660.1 Packet Pg. 613 7.2.a Ordinance No. XX(2019) (vii) Any and all legal prerequisites relating to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred. B. ORDINANCE NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar does hereby find, determine and ordain as follows: SECTION 1: Findings in Support of Modifications to Title 24 Building Standards. This Council does expressly find and determine that the modifications to the Title 24 building standards set forth herein are reasonably necessary to protect the health, welfare and safety of the citizens of Diamond Bar because of the following local climatic, geological or topographic conditions. (1) The hillsides in Diamond Bar are composed of Puente Formation, and similar weak geological materials, while neighboring flatland areas are composed of more stable fill and alluvial materials. These materials may be naturally unstable or weak in terms of physical support. These highly expansive soil conditions are vulnerable to earth movement as well as unpredictable seismic response of buildings. The unpredictable response from prior seismic events including Chino Hills, Northridge, and the Whittier earthquakes have demonstrated the need for greater quality control to ensure against poor seismic performance of multi -story structures. (2) The City experiences diverse temperatures, which promotes expansion and contraction of the soil. This condition is very damaging to expansive type soil. (3) Because of the above -described climatic and geological conditions, the City of Diamond Bar requires special engineering to support habitable structures within the unstable soil areas and requires additional measures to be taken in connection with excavation and grading activities. (4) The City is located in a seismically active area and is in close proximity to various active faults including the Chino, Sierra Madre, Cucamonga, Whittier, San Jacinto and Raymond Faults It is reasonably foreseeable that an earthquake would render the City particularly vulnerable to devastation. (5) The City has extensive hillside topography, unstable geology, watershed areas, expansive soils, and underground streams. In addition, the regional climate alternates between extended periods of drought and brief periods of rainfall. For these reasons, the City is susceptible to flood conditions. (6) Because of the above -described geological conditions within the City, and the substantial amount of freeway, railroad, and flood control facilities throughout the community, the City, in the event of an earthquake, may be unable to dispatch an adequate number of fire personnel and apparatus to suppress fires and conduct rescue operations. Moreover, the conditions within Diamond Bar likewise occur in surrounding communities, hereby rendering mutual aid assistance problematic, at best. 2 1453660.1 Packet Pg. 614 Ordinance No. XX(2019) 7.2.a (7) Due to the City's topography, numerous hillside fire hazard areas are located within its boundaries. (8) Climatic conditions within the community render it extremely likely that, in the event of seasonal high winds and earthquake occurring, the County Fire Department would be unable to suppress numerous fires occurring throughout the community. (9) Located throughout the City, as well as in the surrounding communities, are numerous concentrations of structures which have roofs constructed of thinly cut pieces of wood, otherwise known as untreated shakes, as well as untreated wood shingles. These untreated wood shakes and shingles are extremely combustible in nature. (10) The City is located in an area climatically classified as "arid" and prone to winds of high velocity. Moreover, due to the arid nature of the area, the weather during the windy periods tends to be very warm and dry. The dry weather conditions present a significant threat of wild fire to the City's undeveloped hillsides, wild lands, and nearby homes, and highly populated areas. The potential for rapid spread of even small fires create a need for increased levels of fire protection. (11) Sound transmission controls are necessary to protect City residents from excessive noise generated by multiple nearby freeway interchanges and large arterial streets, among other sources. (12) Local climate makes pool ownership desirable. Children often reside in close proximity to swimming pools, making pool barriers necessary. This need is increased due to potential delays in emergency rescue response resulting from the location of hillside residences and traffic congestion. (13) The City is in an area classified climatically as "arid" and subject to seasonal high temperatures that will affect electrical wiring not designed to be retained for an extended period of time. The Council does hereby further expressly find and determine that the amendments to the Title 24 building standards, set forth herein, and as referenced below, are appropriate given the specific local climatic, geological or topographic conditions set forth above.

ORDINANCE NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar does hereby find, determine and ordain as follows: SECTION 1: Findings in Support of Modifications to Title 24 Building Standards. This Council does expressly find and determine that the modifications to the Title 24 building standards set forth herein are reasonably necessary to protect the health, welfare and safety of the citizens of Diamond Bar because of the following local climatic, geological or topographic conditions. (1) The hillsides in Diamond Bar are composed of Puente Formation, and similar weak geological materials, while neighboring flatland areas are composed of more stable fill and alluvial materials. These materials may be naturally unstable or weak in terms of physical support. These highly expansive soil conditions are vulnerable to earth movement as well as unpredictable seismic response of buildings. The unpredictable response from prior seismic events including Chino Hills, Northridge, and the Whittier earthquakes have demonstrated the need for greater quality control to ensure against poor seismic performance of multi -story structures. (2) The City experiences diverse temperatures, which promotes expansion and contraction of the soil. This condition is very damaging to expansive type soil. (3) Because of the above -described climatic and geological conditions, the City of Diamond Bar requires special engineering to support habitable structures within the unstable soil areas and requires additional measures to be taken in connection with excavation and grading activities. (4) The City is located in a seismically active area and is in close proximity to various active faults including the Chino, Sierra Madre, Cucamonga, Whittier, San Jacinto and Raymond Faults It is reasonably foreseeable that an earthquake would render the City particularly vulnerable to devastation. (5) The City has extensive hillside topography, unstable geology, watershed areas, expansive soils, and underground streams. In addition, the regional climate alternates between extended periods of drought and brief periods of rainfall. For these reasons, the City is susceptible to flood conditions. (6) Because of the above -described geological conditions within the City, and the substantial amount of freeway, railroad, and flood control facilities throughout the 2 1453660.1 Packet Pg. 648 7.2.b community, the City, in the event of an earthquake, may be unable to dispatch an adequate number of fire personnel and apparatus to suppress fires and conduct rescue operations. Moreover, the conditions within Diamond Bar likewise occur in surrounding communities, hereby rendering mutual aid assistance problematic, at best. (7) Due to the City's topography, numerous hillside fire hazard areas are located within its boundaries. (8) Climatic conditions within the community render it extremely likely that, in the event of seasonal high winds and earthquake occurring, the County Fire Department would be unable to suppress numerous fires occurring throughout the community. (9) Located throughout the City, as well as in the surrounding communities, are numerous concentrations of structures which have roofs constructed of thinly cut pieces of wood, otherwise known as untreated shakes, as well as untreated wood shingles. These untreated wood shakes and shingles are extremely combustible in nature. (10) The City is located in an area climatically classified as "arid" and prone to winds of high velocity. Moreover, due to the arid nature of the area, the weather during the windy periods tends to be very warm and dry. The dry weather conditions present a significant threat of wild fire to the City's undeveloped hillsides, wild lands, and nearby homes, and highly populated areas. The potential for rapid spread of even small fires create a need for increased levels of fire protection. (11) Sound transmission controls are necessary to protect City residents from excessive noise generated by multiple nearby freeway interchanges and large arterial streets, among other sources. (12) Local climate makes pool ownership desirable. Children often reside in close proximity to swimming pools, making pool barriers necessary. This need is increased due to potential delays in emergency rescue response resulting from the location of hillside residences and traffic congestion. (13) The City is in an area classified climatically as "arid" and subject to seasonal high temperatures that will affect electrical wiring not designed to be retained for an extended period of time. The Council does hereby further expressly find and determine that the amendments to the Title 24 building standards, set forth herein, and as referenced below, are appropriate given the specific local climatic, geological or topographic conditions set forth above.

The Swimming Pool Safety Act background The Swimming Pool Safety Act (Act) resides in Health and Safety Code (HS Code) Sections 115920 through 115929 and contains requirements for private single-family home swimming pool safety provisions intended to protect people from accidental drownings and other potential pool hazards. The Act was initially added to California law in 1996 and was most recently updated by Senate Bill 1078, Committee on Transportation and Housing (Chapter 957, Statutes of 2018). HS Code Section 18942 (b) requires the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) to publish the text of the Act in the California Residential Code, Part 2.5 of Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations. As a convenience for the code users, CBSC also publishes the Act text in Chapter 31 of the California Building Code, Part 2 of Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations. 2019 California Building Code, Chapter 31 In reviewing the 2019 California Building Code (CBC) publication it was identified that an error occurred within the matrix adoption table which identifies the Building Standards Commission as adopting Section 3109 in its entirety, which is misleading. The Building Standards Commission does not have authority in law to interpret or make specific swimming pool or spa regulations. As stated above CBSC is required to publish the Act's text and has done so in Section 3109.2. Additionally, California does not adopt the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code. However, local governments may amend building standards and adopt other model codes, provided the adoption of such building standards or model codes does not conflict with state law, building standards or other adopted California regulations. Fag Packet Pg. 681 In reviewing the 2019 CBC it was also identified that the following note contained in HS Code Section 18942 (b) should have accompanied the Act text printed in Section 3109.2. NOTE: These regulations are subject to local government modification. You should verify the applicable local government requirements at the time of application for a building permit. An errata supplement will be issued by the publisher to correct the matrix adoption table editorial error and the errata will have a January 1, 2020 effective date that coincides with the effective date of the 2019 California Building Standards Code. In a future rulemaking CBSC intends to add the missing HS Code 18942 (b) note to the 2019 CBC, Section 3109.2. 2019 California Residential Code, Appendix V In a previous rulemaking Appendix V was added to the California Residential Code (CRC), Part 2.5 of Title 24 pursuant to HS Code 18942 and contains the statutory language of the Act. Because this is an appendix chapter and no state agency acronym is checked in the matrix adoption table, local jurisdictions may not recognize that the contents of Appendix V are state law and these mandatory building standards must be enforced by local governments for the safe design and construction of private single- family home swimming pools. The note contained in HS Code Section 18942 (b) is included in Appendix V, so no correction to the appendix is necessary. However, CBSC intends to add explanatory language below the Appendix V title to clearly state that the appendix chapter contains the minimum requirements for private single-family home swimming pools. Local government amendment authority Local governments may amend the building standards contained in the California Building Standards Code, Title 24 as provided in state law. The state laws regarding local amendments are specific to the types of buildings and building features, and establish requirements and restrictions for amendments. CBSC issued Information Bulletin 19-05 on June 24, 2019, which contains requirements of state law establishing the application of the California Building Standards Code in Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations. Specifically, the bulletin describes how local governments must enforce the Title 24 provisions as applicable, may enact more restrictive requirements for local conditions, and adopt administrative regulations and approve alternatives. The bulletin contains links to additional resources such as a Guide for Local Amendment of Building Standards and a Local Code Adoption for Local Jurisdictions webinar.
