OLD BUSINESS - None NEW BUSINESS - None PUBLIC HEARING: 1. Conditional Use Permit 92-9(1) and Development Review 97- 3 is a request (pursuant to Code Section 22.28.110.A.) to alter the existing telecommunications facility by adding a wall mounted microwave dish and enlarging the wall mounted cellular antennas. Project Address: 23555 Golden Springs Drive, Diamond Bar, CA 91765 MAY 13, 1997 PAGE 2 PLANNING COMMISSION Property Owner: Carole Anderson, Torito Plaza Partnership, 23555 Golden Springs Drive, Suite A, Diamond Bar, CA 91765 Applicant: Airtouch Cellular, 3 Park Plaza, Irvine, CA 92714 AstP/Lungu presented the staff report. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Conditional Use Permit No. 92-9(1) and Development Review No. 97-3, Findings of Fact and conditions as listed within the resolution. C/McManus asked how, since the City Council reversed the Planning Commission's last decision, the current discussion to impose a moratorium on telecommunications facilities how it will impact the Planning Commission's decision on this item. SP/Johnson responded that because the City Council has not yet imposed a moratorium and what the extent of the moratorium will be, staff cannot speak to how such a decision may impact this project. Chair/Ruzicka opened the public hearing. Eric Meurs, Airtouch Cellular, thanked staff for their cooperation and assistance in this matter. He stated the applicant concurs with the stated conditions. VC/ Schad asked how much power, and how many watts and the communication's frequency proposed to be projected from the individual antennas. Mr. Meurs responded that Airtouch Cellular is licensed to broadcast 100 watts. This site is less than 10 watts per 'antenna. The communications frequency is the Cellular B Band which is 850 to 899 megahertz. VC/Schad asked if this facility has room for other companies to co -locate their system. Mr. Meurs responded that the building could possibly accommodate other antennas. Airtouch Cellular does not have an exclusive agreement for this site. VC/Schad asked what the projected range will be from the proposed site. Mr. Meurs stated this site drops off at the top of the hill toward Phillips Ranch at the SR 60. Proceeding northwest, this site hands off to the site at the SR MAY 13, 1997 PAGE 3 PLANNING COMMISSION 57/SR 60 interchange (Grand this site hands off to the Shilo Inn Suites. Avenue). To the northeast, site located adjacent to the Mr. Meurs confirmed to VC/Schad that the antenna will be painted to match the existing building. If the splattered paint mentioned by VC/Schad was caused by the applicant, the applicant will cure the situation. C/Goldenberg moved, VC/Schad seconded, to table Conditional Use Permit No. 92-9(1) and Development Review No. 97-3, Findings of fact and conditions as listed within the resolution until after a decision regarding a possible telecommunications moratorium is reached by the City Council. He said that he feels the Planning Commission should not waste the applicant's time approving an item that may be overturned. The motion was approved 5-0 by roll call vote. PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS: Chair/Ruzicka asked staff to advise individual Commissioner's as soon as mail is received at City Hall. If individual Commissioner's wish to make other arrangements, they may do so. He indicated that any mail received addressed to him personally may be opened by staff. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS: 1. Video Presentations: CDD/DeStefano presented videography of "Streetscape and Commercial Center Rehabilitation", and "American Planning Association's "A Foundation for the Future". CDD/DeStefano indicated that approximately 60 people attended the May 3, 1997 Redevelopment Project Approval Area Town Hall Meeting. CDD/DeStefano stated that on May 6, 1997, the City Council unanimously endorsed support of AB 323 regarding residential care facilities. If AB 323 is approved, it will allow for local community supervision. CDD/DeStefano further stated one of the issues before the City, Council on May 20, 1997 is a potential adoption of a wireless telecommunications interim ordinance or moratorium. If adopted, it would likely be effective immediately. CDD/DeStefano said staff intends to bring to the Planning Commission on May 27, 1997, a comprehensive report on the Goals and Objectives issue that has been before this Commission for some time. The Council recently adopted a revised list of 1996/1997 Fiscal Year, and a new list for 1997/1998 Fiscal Year. In MAY 13, 1997 PAGE 4 PLANNING COMMISSION addition, staff will present the Capital Improvement Projects budget. CDD/DeStefano stated that if the City Council takes action to modify the Redevelopment Project Area boundaries on May 20, the Planning Commission will be asked to review the modifications on May 27, 1997. Chair/Ruzicka commented that he is pleased the City Council endorsed AB 323. Chair/Ruzicka acknowledged Mayor Pro Tem Herrera. C/McManus thanked CDD/DeStefano and staff for making certain the Planning Commission has information needed to make intelligent and rational decisions. He apologized for the City Council members running for re-election who decided the input was invalid. SCHEDULE OF FUTURE EVENTS: As presented in the meeting agenda. ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business to come before the Planning Commission, VC/Schad moved, C/Fong seconded, to adjourn the meeting.

Respectfully Submitted, James DeStefano Community Development Director Attest: Joe Ruzicka Chairman INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Chairman and Planning Commissioners FROM: Ann J. Lungu; Assistant Planner lv-- SUBJECT: Review of 1997-98 Fiscal Year (FY) Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for conformity with the General Plan DATE: May 21, 1997 California Government Code Section 65401 requires that the Planning Commission review proposed public works projects for the ensuing fiscal year and determine compliance with the City's General Plan prior to the adoption of the CIP by the City Council. City staff prepared the attached CIP list which briefly outlines each proposed project. The project list includes park improve- ments, a variety of street improvement projects and two year projects of which half are being funded FY 1997-98 and the other half FY 1998-99. The CIP was developed by the Public Works Department and the Community Services Department. It reflects capital improvement needs for the upcoming year. Funds to support the CIP are derived from several sources including: Gas Tax; Proposition "A" and "C" (transportation); Proposition "A" (parks); Community Development Block Grant (CDBG); Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) grant; Southern California Edison (Rule 20); State/Local Transportation Partnership Program (SLTPP); and development impact fees. The FY 1997-98 CIP appropriation is currently estimated at $7,364,250.00. The CIP project list was reviewed relative to its conformity with the July 25, 1995 adopted General Plan. The list is consistent with numerous Goals, objectives and Strategies contained within the General Plan (e.g. Circulation Element - Goal 1, Objective 1.2, Strategy 1.2.1 and Goal 3, Objective 3.1, Strategies 3.1.1, 3.1.3, and 3.1.4; Resource Management Element - Goal 1, Objective 1.3, Strategy 1.3.7; and Land Use Element - Goal 3, Objective 3.2, Strategy 3.2.8, etc.). In addition, the CIP is consistent with the General Plants "Vision Statement". Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 97-XX finding General Plan conformity and recommending City Council approval of the FY 1997-98 CIP. Attachmens: 1.

Programming 1 v F -MJ• • • - Programming Local jurisdictions use both police and corporate powers to serve their residents. Planners have traditionally relied upon the police powers to protect public health, safety and welfare through zoning and subdivision regulations. The corporate powers of local government, however, also have a major impact on land use issues. Corporate powers are used to develop physical facilities which have long term usefulness. These physical facilities include streets and highways, public buildings, water and sewer lines, and park and recreation facilities. Capital improvements programming is the multiyear planning of public infrastructure improvements. Since local government can seldom pay for these facilities through an annual operating budget, numerous techniques have evolved to finance capital improvements over a longer period. The total in- vestment, therefore, includes not only the cost of purchase or of design and construction, but also the cost of long term financing. Financing techniques include the use of current operating budgets, various types of bonding, special districts, special assessments, state and federal grants, and tax increment financing. The capital improvements program must take a longer view than the annual budget process, and must anticipate when new public facilities will be needed or when existing facilities must be replaced. The capital improvements program is a valuable implementation tool for carrying out the general plan. Because the general plan establishes policies for the direction, intensity, and rate of future growth, the capital improvements program is instrumental in maintaining the local government's control of de- velopment. Government Code Section 65402 requires that acquisition or dis- posal of real property be reviewed by the planning agency for conformity with the general plan. Acquisition includes dedications for street, park or other public purposes as well as construction of public buildings or structures. Disposal includes street vacations or abandonments as well as the sale of public lands. Special districts, school districts, and joint powers agencies must also refer their capital improvements programs to the planning agency of each affected city or county for review of consistency with the applicable general plan. How these capital improvements projects fit the goals and policies of the general .plan will determine to a large extent the success of the planning program. The capital improvements program is also a useful planning tool. The avail- ability of public facilities can serve as a basi§ for approval or denial of devel- opment proposals. In many cases, the costs of public improvements are borne by the private developer and eventually passed through to the home buyer or the commercial/industrial user. In other cases, local government will pay im- provement costs for developments which will provide significant employment opportunities, increase sales tax revenues, or further adopted goals and poli- cies. The prioritized list of capital improvements, therefore, must be flexible to respond to development opportunities, yet must be guided by the long term benefits which will accrue to the local jurisdiction and its residents. There are four basic steps in developing a capital improvements program: project identification, prioritization, reconciliation, and adoption. Needed capital improvements should be identified and reliable preliminary cost estimates should be prepared. Once identified, projects should be listed according to need. This listing should include why each project is important and what the consequences will be if it is or is not funded. The next step is to reconcile this prioritized listing into a comprehensive capital improvements program which coordinates improvement scheduling and recognizes the constraints of mun- cipal financing. Finally, the capital improvements program should be formally reviewed and adopted by the local government. CITY OF DIAMOND BAR INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Chairman and Planning Commission qs FROM: James DeStefano, Community Development Director G SUBJECT: Agenda Item 5.2, Report and Recommendation in Connection with Excluding Certain Property from the Proposed Diamond Bar Economic Revitalization Area. DATE: May 22, 1997 Recommendation: That the Diamond Bar Planning Commission ("Planning Commission") adopt a resolution making its report and recommendation in connection with excluding certain property from the proposed Diamond Bar Economic Revitalization Area. Background: The Diamond Bar Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") and the Diamond Bar City Council ("City Council") are undertaking proceedings to adopt a redevelopment plan for the Diamond Bar Revitalization Area ("Redevelopment Plan"). As you will recall, the Planning Commission has been involved at many junctures in- the Redevelopment Plan adoption process. On October 28, 1997, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC 96-20 selecting the boundaries of the Diamond Bar Economic Revitalization Area ("Project Area") and approving the Preliminary Plan for the proposed Project. Additionally, on April 8, 1997, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC 97-5 adopting its report and recommendations regarding the proposed Project, finding that the Project is in conformance with the Diamond Bar General Plan and recommending to the Agency that the Redevelopment Plan for the proposed Diamond Bar Economic Revitalization Area be adopted. Finally, the Planning Commission conducted a noticed public hearing for the purpose of taking public testimony on the Draft EIR at its April 8, 1997 meeting. The proceedings to adopt the Redevelopment Plan are now in the final steps in the process. On May 20, 1997, the Agency and the City Council opened the joint public hearing on the Redevelopment Plan and related Environmental Impact Report ("EIR"), received public testimony on both of these documents, and continued the joint public hearing to June 3, 1997. At this point, the City Council and the Agency are proposing to change the boundaries of the Project Area to exclude approximately 11 properties from the Project Area, as shown on Exhibit A of the attached resolution, prior to the adoption of the Redevelopment Plan. These properties were originally included due to public facilities/infrastructure deficiencies and for the purposes of effective reuse and redevelopment. However, after considerable analysis of these properties, it has been determined that the inclusion of these properties may not further the Agency's abilities to meet the goals outlined in the Redevelopment Plan and the Diamond Bar General Plan. Additionally, proposed improvements .in these areas may be completed even if the properties area not in the Diamond Bar Economic Revitalization Area. It is important to note the exclusion of the properties shown on Exhibit A does not significantly impact any aspect of the Redevelopment Plan adoption process. More specifically, the exclusion of the properties in question will not substantially change any of the documents prepared to date, such as the Redevelopment Plan or the EIR. The exclusion of these properties will only require that a revised project area map and legal description replace the existing map and legal description. Additionally, a short Addendum to the EIR must be prepared to address minor changes resulting from the removal of the properties. However, the exclusion of these properties will not change potential land uses within the project Area (which are, and will always, conform with the General Plan), the goals of the Redevelopment Plan, the proposed public facilities. and infrastructure improvements, or the proposed programs and projects to be implemented as part of the Redevelopment Plan. In order to fulfill the requirements of the California Community Redevelopment Law Health and Safety Code Section 33000, et seq., the Agency must submit changes to the Project Area boundaries to the Planning Commission for its report and recommendation. On May 20, 1997, the Agency adopted Resolution R 97-10 requesting the Planning Commission prepare its report and recommendation in connection with excluding certain property from the Diamond Bar Economic Revitalization Area. It is the Agency's wish that the Planning Commission act on this matter at the May 27, 1997 regular meeting. The Agency and the City Council will re -open the joint public hearing on the Redevelopment Plan on June 3, 1997, for the sole purpose of taking public testimony only on the exclusion of territory and proceed with activities related to the adoption of the Redevelopment Plan for the Diamond Bar Economic Revitalization Area.

The City Council proposes to change the boundaries of the Project Area to exclude from the Project Area certain property as shown on Exhibit A, attached hereto. B. RESOLUTIONS. NOW, THEREFORE, it is found, determined and resolved by the Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar as follows: 1. In connection with the proceedings for the adoption of the proposed Redevelopment Plan, the Agency and the Planning Commission cooperated in the preparation of a preliminary plan, which is on file in the office of the City Clerk. The Planning Commission hereby finds and determines that such preliminary plan requires modification to change the description of the boundaries of the Project Area to reflect the exclusion of the property shown on Exhibit A, attached hereto, and hereby finds and determines that the preliminary plan, as so modified, is sufficient and does not require further modifications or changes. The Planning Commission hereby approves the preliminary plan, as so modified. Such preliminary plan, as modified, is now on file in the office of the City Clerk. 2. In connection with the proceedings for the adoption of the proposed Redevelopment Plan, the Planning Commission, pursuant to its Resolution No. PC 97-5 prepared and approved a report on the conformity of the Redevelopment Plan with the General Plan of the City of Diamond Bar. The Planning Commission hereby finds and determines, following the exclusion of the property shown on Exhibit A, attached hereto, that the Redevelopment Plan is in conformity with the General Plan of the City of Diamond Bar and that the Planning Commission's report pursuant to its Resolution No. PC 97-5, is sufficient and does not require modifications or changes. 3. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council exclude the property shown on Exhibit A, attached hereto, from the boundaries of the Project Area.
