DeBerry <NoReply@IQM2.com> Sent: Wednesday, December 11, 2019 10:28 AM To: Kristina Santana <KSantana@DiamondBarCA.Gov> Cc: Greg Gubman <GGubman@DiamondBarCA.Gov> 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> Diamond Bar General Plan 2040 and Climate Action Plan. <https://DiamondBarCA.iqm2.com/Agency/LegiFile.aspx?ID=2185> ATTACHMENTS * Resolution No. 2019-XX, Certifying the Final EIR, Adopting Findings of Fact/Statement of Overriding Considerations, and Approving the MMRP for the DB General Plan Update & Climate Action Plan <https://DiamondBarCA.iqm2.com/Citizens/FileOpen.aspx?Type=4&ID=3274&IsMinuteTraqRequest=True> * Resolution No. 2019-XX, Approving the Diamond Bar General Plan 2040 <https://DiamondBarCA.iqm2.com/Citizens/FileOpen.aspx?Type=4&ID=3275&IsMinuteTraqRequest=True> * Resolution No. 2019-XX, Approving the Diamond Bar Climate Action Plan 2040 <https://DiamondBarCA.iqm2.com/Citizens/FileOpen.aspx?Type=4&ID=3276&IsMinuteTraqRequest=True> * Planning Commission Reso 2019-16 - EIR Certification <https://DiamondBarCA.iqm2.com/Citizens/FileOpen.aspx?Type=4&ID=3280&IsMinuteTraqRequest=True> * Planning Commission Reso 2019-17 -General Plan Update <https://DiamondBarCA.iqm2.com/Citizens/FileOpen.aspx?Type=4&ID=3281&IsMinuteTraqRequest=True> * Planning Commission Reso 2019-18 - Climate Action Plan <https://DiamondBarCA.iqm2.com/Citizens/FileOpen.aspx?Type=4&ID=3282&IsMinuteTraqRequest=True> * Planning Commission 12/4/19 Staff Report (excluding attachments) <https://DiamondBarCA.iqm2.com/Citizens/FileOpen.aspx?Type=4&ID=3287&IsMinuteTraqRequest=True> * Diamond Bar General Plan 2040 Public Hearing Draft <https://DiamondBarCA.iqm2.com/Citizens/FileOpen.aspx?Type=4&ID=3288&IsMinuteTraqRequest=True> * Diamond Bar Climate Action Plan 2040 Public Hearing Draft <https://DiamondBarCA.iqm2.com/Citizens/FileOpen.aspx?Type=4&ID=3289&IsMinuteTraqRequest=True> * Final EIR <https://DiamondBarCA.iqm2.com/Citizens/FileOpen.aspx?Type=4&ID=3290&IsMinuteTraqRequest=True> * Comments submitted for 12/4/19 Planning Commission meeting <https://DiamondBarCA.iqm2.com/Citizens/FileOpen.aspx?Type=4&ID=3293&IsMinuteTraqRequest=True> INFORMATION Department: Community Development Category: Public Hearing Meeting: Dec 17, 2019 6:30 PM - City Council inating x-ms-exchange-organization-id: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 x-ms-exchange-organization-originalclientipaddress: 192.168.1.153 x-originating-ip: [192.168.1.153] x-ms-exchange-organization-originalserveripaddress: ::1 x-ms-exchange-organization-submissionrecipientcount: 3 x-ms-exchange-organization-orderedprecisionlatencyinprogress: LSRV=dbcity2.dbcity.ci.diamond-bar.ca.us:TOTAL-SUB=0.093|SA=0.078|MTSS-PEN=0.022(MTSSD-PEN=0.022(MTSSDA=0.002|MTSSDC=0.007));2019-12-11T2 0:41:21.772Z x-ms-exchange-forest-arrivalhubserver: dbcity2.dbcity.ci.diamond-bar.ca.us x-ms-exchange-organization-cross-premises-headers-processed: dbcity2.dbcity.ci.diamond-bar.ca.us x-ms-exchange-organization-hygienepolicy: Standard x-ms-exchange-organization-messagelatency: SRV=dbcity2.dbcity.ci.diamond-bar.ca.us:TOTAL-SUB=0.129|SA=0.078|MTSS-PEN=0.052(MTSSD-PEN=0.052(MTSSDA=0.002|MTSSDC=0.007|SDSSO-PEN=0.030 (SMSC=0.011|MTSSDM-PEN=0.018))) x-ms-exchange-organization-recipient-limit-verified: True x-ms-exchange-organization-totalrecipientcount: 3 x-tm-as-product-ver: SMEX-12.5.0.1300-8.5.1010-25096.007 x-tm-as-result: No-29.514200-8.000000-10 x-tmase-matchedrid: vWvnoyq7eMw7iuZ/mdYYtl+6aXXX+G8i7/+9swuISRVLbeMXCgjtvX7W 5bdwgnW8FZVWQa5bomvfNKD9uRfMaXEONw67gSVcSnXYhdlqPHlN3bCgFz99I4vfSJuNTN/rxWG by5Hg6eAsS7de5tK9AZi/JtCbSi1TGrSmht4ssAcwMfxyID/dnSzbwU8552YSh+OfMCcJO4kpZT hLBFzrUhZTej/Y9U+7JhFEQZiq2ZTyCvICuK46cvAlhlr8vzcdLg4aEfqmR9dv4LXaUTxzCM5gL QgIAFB+pBUgYSl1eZWphk0MrYwMJaGEqigf79/LDC/Vm90If4V0NOB2+sLcHo0id0pIhqxTu9rc 5B9QtcdMjtuxWTjxr2ms6t9zCzD7qb3/o5s+OcM166tqhsGv7CCxxM5pseNtGLUg0Syx3FlUE0J aTTpy2AO3Ypg23Gu4u6cTLrgJBGoZskwWqoib3NiYYny8m3swXBsEkVBDd69fvis5Ium3Yr51pk QVwz+7UqJtrLFObgd6UYddkosva0zzNX6FuGYDmARdQtCdkD4T5OE0Sj2y4e4SYXivIMI60jSMi +zDarIRtmDagKSYmFkxnoxnQfVSDvc/j9oMIgWH9IXFWL/nFCWeQgiotj4jlUKIN6XzXMYaZQ4+ u8naM49Eo6MTOroEvHKClHGjjr1t4pnehQSe+QTUT12yL068jNMz7QojsHayb3avQi5jMJOP1lM O2fMcAnmUHMIheHSXDV2rLL71QdJQ5rnzm4AaoU7fUAkU0gATQwpFXXBgPUj9OIj3yO7NcoO+Oj pTmhT7CPT88Yg5up1U1lojafr/fnYF64meONybKItl61J/yc8943oc3p3sErIHQfb5KDdfo/G70 zGpftypa3oolEGgt5sI5za80etLCYnySKlvl0V19d5J91+RQ3so/uchreuXZcx6wios5pRMZUCE HkRt x-tm-as-user-approved-sender: No x-tm-as-user-blocked-sender: No x-tmase-result: 10--29.514200-8.000000 x-tmase-version: SMEX-12.5.0.1300-8.5.1010-25096.007 x-ms-exchange-organization-rules-execution-history: 8d16258e-4fec-4f32-a481-0fc8dd79dc15%%%214d59a3-4469-45cf-93ff-d40209399466%%%f59978ed-fe14-4283-bbc6-a45e9d625da9%%%b852bb77-8f31-402b-b0f6-ddcdb1 35c6d8 x-ms-exchange-forest-rulesexecuted: dbcity2 x-ms-exchange-organization-rulesexecuted: dbcity2 x-ms-exchange-forest-indexagent: 1 3904 x-ms-exchange-forest-emailmessagehash: AA8FD2EE x-ms-exchange-forest-language: en Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
