ULI Technical Assistance Panels 1"1 APs"1 ULI is an international nonprofit research and education organization. Its stated mission is to "shape the future of the built environment for transformative impact in communities worldwide." ULI advocates progressive development, conducting research, and education in topics such as sustainability, smart growth and placemaking. ULI-LA is the regional ULI council that serves the Los Angeles County market area.

The Diamond Bar Town Center TAP is comprised of experts in the fields of architecture, finance, land development and construction, market analytics, urban planning, landscape architecture, policy, branding and transportation. The TAP convened during the week of April 12, 2021 and conducted an intensive study of the Focus Area. Staff requested that the TAP consider the following questions during the process: • Urban Form/Placemaking o How do we transform suburban style neighborhood commercial centers into a vibrant, pedestrian -oriented Town Center? o What are some design options for the area that can advance the overall vision? • Market Feasibility o What appropriate mix of uses, and at what densities, is needed to create a Town Center environment and sense of place? o Is there market demand for such mix of uses? o How do you challenge market forces that seem to support maintaining the status quo? • Financial Feasibility o What is needed to ensure that there is an overall positive net fiscal impact to the City? o How do you entice property owners to make the needed investment to create a new Town Center? ULI TAP Presentation � April 16, 2021 Page packet Pg.4 2.1 • Implementation o What are some key next steps and implementation tools available to the City to help facilitate the creation of a Town Center? o What are some key next steps that property owners can take to help make the vision become a reality? o What are some strategies/incentives to encourage property owner partnerships/participation? The purpose of today's joint meeting hear ULI-LA's presentation, and then engage in a discussion of the TAP's findings and recommendations. ULI-LA will then publish a final report in the next two to three months, which will be provided t the Planning commission and council once available. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: 1.
