Subject: Action Item for City Council 2185 was Reviewed : Diamond Bar General Plan Update and Climate Action Plan
Stage #3 of this Action Item for City Council has been Reviewed by David A. DeBerry and now needs to be reviewed by: Kristina Santana. Comment: I?ve approved, but suggest the following
changes: Under Discussion and Analysis Rather than a generic statement, I suggest revising the first sentence to read, ?This section ? discusses the findings that the City Council must
make prior to approving the General Plan Update given the EIR?s conclusion that it will result in some significant, unavoidable environmental impacts as further discussed below.? In
the second sentence, I suggest adding the words, ?and are discussed below? at the end. Under Tres Hermanos Ranch Please replace the second paragraph with the following: ?While the Planning
Commission did not directly recommend considering re-designating the Tres Hermanos Ranch as Open Space as part of the General Plan Update, staff recommends that the City Council not
consider such a re-designation at this time. An Open Space designation was not studied as part of the EIR?s review of the General Plan Update and would have potential impacts on the
EIR?s conclusion, the City?s Housing Element and possibly other General Plan elements, which impacts would need further study and cause significant delay to consideration of the General
Plan Update itself. As the City Council is well aware, the City Council authorized litigation in 2017 to stop the development of a large solar farm on Tres Hermanos. The result of the
litigation was a 2019 settlement between the cities of Industry, Chino Hills and Diamond Bar which resulted in the transfer of the 2,445-acre Tres Hermanos Ranch (695 acres in Diamond
Bar and 1,750 acres in Chino Hills) to a re-constituted Tres Hermanos Conservation Authority (THAC). Diamond Bar is a member of the THAC along with the cities of Chino Hills and Industry.
The stated purpose of the THAC is to coordinate the overall conservation, use and potential improvement of Tres Hermanos through collaboration by the member cities. The transfer has
been challenged in court by the purported developer of the large solar farm and currently Click here to Review online <https://DiamondBarCA.iqm2.com/Agency/LegiFile.aspx?ID=2185>
