AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: 4.1
MEETING DATE: December 13, 2022
CASE/FILE NUMBER: Continued Use of Teleconferencing in
Accordance with Assembly Bill 361 for Meetings
of the Planning Commission Subject to State
Open Meeting Laws.
PROJECT LOCATION:
Citywide
SUBJECT: Continued use of teleconferencing in accordance
with Assembly Bill 361 for meetings of the
Planning Commission subject to State open
meeting laws.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The Ralph M. Brown Act (“Brown Act”) requires that all meetings of a legislative body of
a local agency be open and public, that a physical location for such meetings be
provided, and that the public be permitted to provide public comment during the
meetings – with some exceptions as defined under the law.
Due to the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the California Legislature
passed Assembly Bill 361 (AB 361), which authorizes a local agency to use
teleconferencing without complying with certain teleconferencing requirements impo sed
by the Brown Act when: (1) the legislative body of a local agency holds a meeting
during a declared state of emergency; (2) when state or local health officials have
imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing; and/or (3) when a
local agency has determined that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the
health or safety of attendees.
The Planning Commission utilized the provisions of AB 361 on November 22, 2022. In
order to continue to have the ability to use the modified teleconferencing options,
AB 361 requires that the Planning Commission re-affirm its findings every 30 days.
Conditions under which AB 361 may be utilized continue to exist as described in the
CITY OF DIAMOND BAR ~ 21810 COPLEY DRIVE ~ DIAMOND BAR, CA 91765 ~ TEL. (909) 839-7030 ~ FAX (909) 861-3117

attached Resolution (Attachment A). The provisions of AB 3 61 allowing the modified
teleconferencing will expire January 1, 2024.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the attached Resolution (Attachment A), providing for continued use of
teleconferencing and other formats as defined and in compliance with Assembly Bill 361
for meetings of the Planning Commission.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR,
CALIFORNIA, MAKING SPECIFIED FINDINGS RELATING TO THE USE OF
TELECONFERENCING IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASSEMBLY BILL 361 FOR MEETINGS
OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION SUBJECT TO STATE OPEN MEETING LAWS.
WHEREAS, on March 4, 2020, California Governor Newsom declared a State of
Emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic;
WHEREAS, on March 12, 2020, to address the impacts of COVID-19, Governor
Newsom issued Executive Orders that required, among other things, residents of California to
follow orders and guidance of local public health officials, including social distancing and
masking requirements;
WHEREAS, existing California law, the Ralph M. Brown Act (“Brown Act”) requires, with
specified exceptions, that all meetings of a legislative body of a local agency, as those terms
are defined, be open and public, that a physical location for such meetings be provided, and
that the public be permitted to provide public comment during the meetings;
WHEREAS, the Brown Act permits members of legislative bodies to teleconference into
public meetings subject to certain conditions, including that the place from which the member
teleconferences be open to the public , that an agenda be posted on the site, and that the
teleconference location be noticed in the agenda;
WHEREAS, in recognition that such public gatherings at such meetings could
accelerate the spread of COVID-19, Governor Newsom’s Executive Orders suspended, among
others, these Brown Act teleconferencing requirements to provide local agencies with greater
flexibility to hold meetings via teleconferencing safely;
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Emergency Services Act (Government Code
sections 8550 et seq.), and Chapter 8.00 of Title 8 of the Diamond Bar Municipal Code, the
City Council of the City of Diamond Bar has proclaimed the continued existence of a local
emergency resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic;
WHEREAS, as of September 30, 2021, the Governor’s Executive Order suspending the
Brown Act’s teleconferencing requirements is set to expire;
WHEREAS, on September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill 361
(AB 361), which authorizes a local agency to continue to use teleconferencing without
complying with certain teleconferencing requirements imposed by the Brown Act when: (1) the
legislative body of a local agency holds a meeting during a declared state of emergency;
(2) when state or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote
social distancing; and/or (3) when a local agency has determined that meeting in person would

4.1.a
Packet Pg. 8
2 PC Resolution No. 2022-XX
WHEREAS, both Los Angeles County and state health officials continue to recommend
social distancing due to a recent increase in COVID-19 cases believe to be caused by the so-
call Omicron Variant;
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission must approve a Resolution reaffirming that the
requirements set forth in AB 361 exist every 30 days in order to allow members of its legislative
bodies to utilize the provisions of AB 361 when attending public meetings via teleconferencing;
and
WHEREAS, notwithstanding that the City’s legislative bodies, as defined by the Brown
Act, are now holding modified public meetings in person, there may be situations in which a
member of one of these legislative bodies decides not to attend in person due to a particular
health or safety risk posed by such attendance and as such, it is the Planning Commission’s
desire to permit members of the Planning Commission to attend by way of teleconference
pursuant to AB 361 due to health and safety concerns associated with COVID-19.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of
the City of Diamond Bar as follows:
1. That the above recitals are true and correct. and based thereon, that the spread
and potential further spread of COVID-19 poses an imminent risk to the public
health and safety.
2. That a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic continues to exist and
at the time that this Resolution was adopted both Los Angeles County and State
health officials are recommending social distancing to slow the spread of
COVID-19.
3. That meeting in person may pose an imminent risk to the health and safety of some
attendees, including members of the Planning Commission, who due to age, health
conditions, or vaccination status, have a higher risk of contracting COVID-19 and
are more likely to get severely ill and in some cases, die from COVID-19.
4. That during the effective period of this Resolution and any reaffirmation thereof,
members of the Planning Commission may participate in meetings subject to the
Brown Act by way of teleconference in accordance with AB 361.
5. That meetings shall be held in accordance with AB361 by, among other things,
providing notice to the public how it can access the meeting and provide public
comment, providing an opportunity for the public to attend via a call-in or an
internet-based service option, conducing the meeting in a manner which protects
the statutory and constitutional rights of the public, and stopping the meeting until
public access is restored in the event of a service disruption.

CASE/FILE NUMBER: Development Review (Planning Case No.

GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Low Density Residential (RL)
ZONING DISTRICT: Low Density Residential (RL)
PROPERTY OWNER:
James Chin Chou, Trustee
1359 Bentley Court, West Covina, CA 91791
APPLICANT:
Creative Design Associates,
17528 Rowland Street, 2nd Floor,
City of Industry, CA 91748
SUMMARY:
The applicant is proposing to construct a new 2,743 square -foot, two-story, single-family
residence measuring approximately 27 feet high with a 583 square -foot two-car garage
on an undeveloped 11,225 square-foot (0.26 acres) parcel located on the north side of
N. Diamond Bar Boulevard, between Soltaire Street and Highland Valley Road.
BACKGROUND:
On September 15, 2020, the City Council approved the Zone Change to modify the
previous zoning designation from Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) to Low Density
Residential (RL). However, a concurrent Development Review application to construct a
new 4,333 square-foot, two-story single-family residence was deemed disapproved
because a motion to deny the application failed by a split 2 -2 vote (with one abstention).
The stated reasons for the motion to deny were as follows:
CITY OF DIAMOND BAR ~ 21810 COPLEY DRIVE ~ DIAMOND BAR, CA 91765 ~ TEL. (909) 839-7030 ~ FAX (909) 861-3117

• The design of the proposed single-family residence was not compatible with the
surrounding neighborhood in terms of building scale, density and massing in
that it was twice the size of the single -family homes across Diamond Bar Blvd.
and even larger when compared to the townhomes lying to the north.
• The design was not compatible in that the proposed contemporary architectural
style is not utilized in the single -family neighborhood across Diamond Bar Blvd.
or the townhomes just to the north, which architecture can be described as
traditional, incorporating gabled and hipped roof forms.

Rendering of Previously Submitted Design (Rear Elevation)
On August 23, 2022, the applicant submitted a new application and reduced the size
and massing of the two-story single-family residence, and redesigned the architecture
from a contemporary style with a shed roof to a more traditional Craftsman style with
gable roofs.
Site Characteristics
The project site is on an 11,225 square -foot (0.26 acre) vacant and unimproved parcel
located along the north side of N. Diamond Bar Boulevard, between Soltaire Street and
Highland Valley Road, and adjacent to the State Route 57 (SR 57) freeway . The
subject property is a trapezoidal parcel, within non-parallel front and rear property lines.
The angled rear property line results in a lot depth that tapers along the westerly portion
of the site. Furthermore, the topography of the site slopes from its highest point along
the northeasterly boundary to the southwesterly boundary, resulting in a grade
differential of approximately 10 feet, with the low point sitting slightly below the adjacent
grade of north Diamond Bar Boulevard.
Currently, the project site contains wild brush. There are no protected trees on site.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
As mentioned, the site has been redesigned with a new two-story, 2,743 square-foot,
single-family residence, measuring approximately 27 feet high. Site entry will be
located towards the northeasterly boundary of the property along N. Diamond Bar
Boulevard by a new circular driveway with the entrance only accessible to westbound
traffic due to a landscaped road median that inhibits direct access for eastbound traffic
and the exit towards the middle of the property with right turn out only.
The floor plan is comprised of the following components:
PROJECT SUMMARY (square footage)
Living Area
o First Floor
o Existing Second Floor
1,789
954
2,743
Two-Car Garage 583
Porch/Patio Areas
o Front Porch 100
o Rear Patio 150

TOTAL FLOOR AREA 3,325
• The first level consists of a living room, kitchen, wok kitchen, pantry, dining room,
powder room, two bedroom with bathroom, and an attached two-car garage.
• The second level consists of a master bedroom and bedroom each with a
bathroom.
The two-story residence is accessed by one internal staircase. The height of the
building is 26’-6”, measured from the finished grade to the highest point of the roofline.
The building’s architectural design is a more traditional Craftsman style with gable roofs.
The floor plan was designed in a long linear fashion to fit the trapezoidal parcel with
windows facing the hills to the north. The architectural features utilize a variety of
building materials such as stucco, fiber cement siding, and wood brackets to
complement the surrounding neighborhood, different window surfaces, variable roof
heights with asphalt shingle roofing, elongated eaves, and the incorporation of wood
railing. The architectural design theme will be expressed on all sides of the building to
provide a pleasing visual appearance from multiple vantage points.

ANALYSIS:
Review Authority (Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Section 22.48)
The proposed project requires Planning Commission review and approval of a
Development Review (DR) application. The analysis that follows provides the basis for
staff’s recommendation to approve the application.
Development Review
New construction of a single-family home requires Planning Commission approval of a
Development Review application. 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.
Development Standards: The following table compares the proposed project with the
City’s development standards for residential development in the proposed RL zone.

* The rear setback is measured from the rear of the building to the edge of the graded
pad when the pad abuts a descending slope.
• Site and Grading Configuration: The site is an irregular, triangular shaped lot
with a tapering lot depth that results from an angled rear property line. The
existing site topography descends approximately 10 feet from the northeasterly
to southwesterly property lines requiring approximately 28 cubic yards of cut, 181
cubic yards of fill, and 153 cubic yards of import to accommodate a leveled
building pad.
• Architectural Features, Colors, and Materials: The City’s Design Guidelines
have been established to encourage a better compatible building and site design
that improves the vital quality of the surro unding 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.
The project incorporates the principles of the City’s Residential Design
Guidelines as follows:
➢ The architectural design accentuates simplicity of line and form as opposed to
overly ornate or monumental features;

➢ All elevations are architecturally treated and dwelling entries are articulate d
through proper massing and detailed design elements;
➢ Fence and wall designs integrate with structures and setting, utilizing
complementary styles, materials and colors;
➢ Landscaping is utilized to soften building lines and blend the structure with its
environment, creating a transition between the hard vertical edges of the
structure and the softer horizontal lines of the site; and
➢ Plant materials and arrangements emphasize the positive features of a site.
Plant groupings are designed to highlight significant site features or man-
made focal points such as gardens, patios and walkways.
The scale and proportions of the proposed home are well balanced and
appropriate for the site. The project massing has been reduced substantially
from the previous design, and incorporates varied gable roof heights, movement
along the street facing elevation, and elongated eaves. In addition, the building
materials and color palette is more compatible with the character of the
surrounding neighborhood.

Landscaping: Effective landscape design should serve the dual purpose of
intrinsically enhancing a project setting, as well as integrating the landscaping
into the overall architectural design. A conceptua l landscape plan was submitted
with the project plans. Enhanced landscaping will be installed throughout the site
with trees, shrubs, and ground cover around the north, south, east, and west
edges of the property. To soften the building’s edges, four 24-inch box Desert
Museum palo verde trees, four 24-inch box crape myrtle trees, and four 36-box
Emerald Wave sweet bay trees will be planted along N. Diamond Bar Boulevard ,
and four 36-box Emerald Wave sweet bay trees, and two 48 -inch box olive tree
will be planted along the north (SR57 freeway side) rear property line.
The site will be enclosed with a combination block wall and wood slat fencing
above retaining wall, measuring up to six feet along the north (rear), east and
west (side), and a portion of the south (front) property lines.
Ornamental landscaping such as ground cover, shrubs, and trees will be installed
along the periphery of the project site. The proposed plant palette is diverse, and
the plant selections are compatible with the Southern Ca lifornia native
landscapes. Overall, landscaping will be composed of drought tolerant and non -
invasive species to minimize irrigation and reduce the area of turf and sod

ground cover planting. The project is required to comply with the City’s Water
Efficient Landscaping Ordinance, and compliance will be verified during building
plan check and final inspections.
Compliance with Hillside Management Ordinance (DBMC Section 22.22)
The proposed project was reviewed for compliance with the City’s Hillside Management
Design Guidelines and regulations. The project complies with all of the regulations and
guidelines to ensure that development will complement the character and topography of
hillside areas set forth in the Development Code, and incorporates the following
features:
• Width of the building is oriented in the direction of the slope;
• All proposed retaining walls are lower than the maximum exposed height of four
feet;
• Retaining wall heights will be visually mitigated with proposed landscaping and
decorative block;
• Architectural treatment is provided on all sides of the building with varying
setbacks;
• The maximum building height is 26’-6”, where 35 feet is allowed; and

• Earth tone building materials and color schemes are used that blend in with the
natural landscape.
The project complies with all of the regulations and guidelines to ensure that
development will complement the character and topography of hillside areas set forth in
the Development Code.
Compatibility With Neighborhood
The proposed project will not negatively affect the existing surrounding land uses, and
the design and appearance of the proposed redesign is more compatible with the
surrounding community.
The project has been redesigned to a more traditional Craftsman style of arch itecture
with gable asphalt shingle roofs, vertical wood siding and warmer color palette
compared to the previous contemporary California modern style with flat metal roofs
and white stucco with dark horizontal siding. The massing of the building has been
substantially reduced from the previous design. The previous design was 4,333 square
feet with a three-car garage, whereas the proposed design is 2,743 square feet with two
car garage. This is more compatible with the average size of the homes in the
surrounding neighborhood of 2,078 square feet.
In addition, the proposed structure will not have a negative impact to neighboring
residents’ viewsheds since the property is located on a much lower pad level than
surrounding properties. The existing single -family residences to the southeast are
approximately 190 feet away and located on a higher building pad than the proposed
building. The existing residences sit on a much higher-grade elevation. Therefore, the
building will not significantly impact any private viewsheds enjoyed by these properties.
The existing multi-family residences to the northeast are more than 320 feet away and
located on a higher-grade elevation than the proposed building. The building pad of
these residences sit slightly lower than the rooftop of the proposed building, but
factoring the proposed building’s setback and lower pad elevation, the building is not
anticipated to compromise the viewsheds enjoyed by surrounding properties. Overall,
the proposed single-family residence is anticipated to be a more compatible addition to
the surrounding area.
Access and On-Site Circulation
A traffic access study was submitted to analyze the reaction times and distances
needed for motorists to safely exit the subject property, as well as for southbound
motorists to react to vehicles entering and exiting the site; and evaluate on -site
maneuverability for a variety of vehicle types to enter and exit the subject property in a
safe manner. There are adequate stopping sight distances from the project driveway as
well as for southbound motorists to react to vehicles accessing the site.
7.1
Packet Pg. 26

Page 12 of 13
The circular driveway also allows vehicles to enter and exit the property in a more
efficient manner. This design allows a variety of vehicle types such as waste h aulers
and delivery trucks to access the property with greater ease by entering and exiting the
site in a continuous forward maneuver, instead of reversing or making multiple point
turns.

3. The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds and determines that, having
considered the record as a whole including the findings set forth below, there is
no evidence before this Planning Commission that the Proposed Project 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 Planning
Commission 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) Section 22.48, this Planning Commission hereby
recommends that the City Council make the following findings:
Development Review Findings (DBMC Section 22.48.040)
1. The design and layout of the proposed development is consistent with the
applicable elements of the City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines, and
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 design and layout of the proposed single-family residence consisting of 2,743
square feet of floor area and 583 square-foot, two-car garage area is consistent
with the City’s General Plan, City Design Guidelines and development standards.
The City’s General Plan Policy LU-P-56 requires that development on privately-
owned, residentially designated land in hillside areas shall be compatible with the
surrounding natural areas promoting design principles such as minimizing
grading, preserving existing vistas, and incorporate site and architectural design
that is sensitive to the hillsides. The design and layout of the building will be
integrated within the existing topography of the site and will not visually impact
the views of nearby properties. The proposed home will not have a negative
impact to neighboring residences viewsheds since the property is located on a
much lower pad level than nearby properties.
The Project has been revised from the previous design by substantially reducing
the size and massing of the two-story structure, and redesigning the architectural
from a contemporary modern style with shed roof to a more traditional Craftsman
style with gable roofs. The building’s architectural design accentuates simplicity
of line and form, articulated through massing treatment and incorporates detailed
design elements that complies with the City’s Design Guidelines where
architectural design should accentuate simplicity of line and form, restrained and
understated elegance, as opposed to the overly ornate or monumental [City’s
Design Guidelines A. Site Planning (2) and B. Architecture (2)]. All elevations
are architecturally treated and strongly articulated along the visible façade [City’s
Design Guidelines B. Architecture (3)]. In addition, appropriate screening and
integration of the home to the natural environment is accomplished by providing
a variety of groundcover, shrubs, and trees throughout the site.
7.1.a
Packet Pg. 30
3
The Project complies with all development standards of the Low Density
Residential zoning district by meeting all development standards such as
required setbacks, building height, and lot coverage. The project site is not part
of any theme area, specific plan, community plan, boulevard or planned
development.
2. The design and layout of the proposed development will not interfere with the use
and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future development s, and will not create
traffic or pedestrian hazards.
The proposed single-family house will not interfere with the use and enjoyment
of neighboring existing or future developments because the use will not
significantly generate any traffic, parking, noise, lighting, view or other impacts
onto surrounding residences and adjacent right-of-ways. In addition, no
protected trees exist on site.
The proposed single-family house will not interfere with vehicular or pedestrian
movements, such as access or other functional requirements of a single -family
home because it complies with the requirements for driveway widths and grades,
exceeds the minimum number of off-street parking spaces, and the circular
driveway design allows vehicles to enter and exit the property in a more efficient
manner.
3. 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 Chapter 22.48:
Development Review Standards, the City’s Design Guidelines, the City's General
Plan, or any applicable specific plan.
The proposed single family residence was redesigned and substantially reduced
the size and massing of the two-story structure in a more traditional Craftsman
style with gable roofs to be more compatible with the character of the surrounding
neighborhood. The City’s General Plan Policy LU-P-56 requires that residential
development be compatible with the prevailing character of the surrounding
neighborhood in terms of building scale, density, massing, and design. The City’s
General Plan Goal CC-G-4 also requires the preservation of the scale and
character of existing residential neighborhoods and ensure sensitive transitions
between densities and uses. The City’s Design Guidelines Architecture (1)
requires compatibility with the surrounding character including harmonious
building style, form, size, color, material and roofline.
The proposed two story single family residence is comparable in mass and scale
to the surrounding neighborhood. The building’s design theme is simple with
incorporation of variable roof heights, movement along the street facing elevation,
and utilization of different window surfaces, variable roof heights with asphalt
shingle roofing, elongated eaves, and wood railing. The architectural design
theme will be duplicated on all of the building’s elevations to provide a pleasing
visual appearance form multiple vantage points. The Project minimizes negative
impacts on nearby uses since the house will not block existing viewsheds from
7.1.a
Packet Pg. 31
4
nearby properties. In sum, the Project fits the character of the neighborhood on
which it is proposed.
4. The design of the proposed development will provide a desirable environment fo r
its occupants and visiting public as well as its neighbors through good aesthetic
use of materials, texture, color, and will remain aesthetically appealing.
The design of the new single-family home is a more traditional Craftsman style
of architecture. Variation in the building elements are achieved through the
utilization of varying enhanced architectural features and building materials as
discussed in the previous findings. The architectural features utilize a variety of
building materials such as stucco, ledgestone and wood siding, metal roof, and
cable railing. Also, landscaping is integrated into the site to complement the
massing of the house and blend in with neighboring homes and the natural
environment of the site in order to maintain a desirable environment. The scale
and proportions of the proposed home are well balances and appropriate for the
site.
5. The proposed development will not be detrimental to 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 proposed project is required to
comply with all conditions within the approved resolution, and the Building and
Safety Division and Public Works Departments requirements.
Through the permit and inspection process, the referenced agencies will ensure
that the proposed 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 th e provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The proposed single family residence is categorially exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as prescribed under CEQA Guidelines
Section 15303(a) (construction of a new single-family residence). Therefore, no
further environmental review is required.
Based upon the findings and conclusion set forth above, the Planning Commission hereby
recommends that the City Council approve Development Review, subject to the following
conditions and the attached Standard Conditions of Approval:
1. Development shall substantially comply with the plans and documents presented
to the Planning Commission at the public hearing.
2. Prior to building permit issuance, landscape and irrigation plans shall be reviewed

5. PUBLIC HEARING(S):
5.1 ZONE CHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW FOR NEW SINGLE
FAMILY RESIDENCE LOCATED AT 1111 N. DIAMOND BAR
BOULEVARD, DIAMOND BAR (PLANNING CASE NO. PL2015-253.)
SP/Lee presented staffs report.
M/Tye opened the Public Hearing.
Douglas Barcon suggested Council read the public comment he submitted
by email and expressed opposition to this project.
CC/Santana read email comments from the following:
Adrienne Cotterell opposed the project and rezoning of the property. Her
concerns included property access, poor air quality, and how the property
will be used and maintained.
Susan Mullins opposed the project due to adverse impacts to the
residents based on a flawed traffic report and disregard for safety, the loss
of natural habitat, improper use of the property, and health hazards during
construction.
Gerardo Ramirez was concerned about delivery and service companies
parking on the street or backing out onto Diamond Bar Boulevard if the
driveway is blocked.
Robin Smith commented on land speculation and expressed opposition to
this project.
Chieh Hsu opposed the project due to traffic concerns as well as, noise
and air pollution, health concerns, and concerns that this property will be
developed for uses other than residential purposes such as a party house
rental or short term rental property.
Ken Lee, property owner's representative, reiterated that this has been a
long journey for the owner and applicant who have been responsive to
community concerns by twice redesigning the project. The Planning
Commission did its due diligence with regard to traffic and safety and held
to its 4-1 approval. Mr. Lee urged the City Council to please support and
approve the project tonight.
M/Tye closed the Public Hearing.
MPT/Lyons asked staff to address comments that the traffic study should
have been done at 60 mph and not 50 mph. SP/Lee responded that the
Planning Commission requested a traffic access study and the study
7.1.b
Packet Pg. 48
SEPTEMBER 15, 2020 PAGE 4 CITY COUNCIL
evaluated the speed at 50 mph for a vehicle traveling southbound on
Diamond Bar Boulevard in accordance with industry standards. There
were comments that the study should consider speeds as high as 65 and
70 mph. In this case, the applicant's traffic engineer has reviewed the
study and stated there will be adequate sight distance for vehicles
traveling at 75 mph to react to a vehicle exiting the project driveway.
MPT/Lyons commented that according to the Development Review, in
every category the application has met the requirements and she agrees
that the proposed project is a much better design and idea than a
commercial project.
C/Low asked staff to comment on the zoning according to the maps.
SP/Lee responded that the current adopted General Plan land use
designation is RL which is Low Density Residential. The previous
designation was multi -family medium density residential and as part of the
General Plan update, the intensity was lowered to Low Density Residential
RL), the current General Plan use designation. The current zoning
designation is Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) and the proposal proposes
to change that to match the current RL designation by changing the
zoning to RL for consistency between the General Plan and the Zoning
Map.
C/Low asked if there was a crosswalk or signal at the Soltaire/Diamond
Bar Boulevard intersection and SP/Lee responded that the intersection is
not signalized and there is no crosswalk. M/Tye stated that Soltaire is an
access only into the neighborhood south of Temple Avenue and east of
Diamond Bar Boulevard.
C/Low suggested that a "no pedestrian traffic" sign be placed at the
Soltaire/Diamond Bar Boulevard intersection. PWD/Liu responded to
C/Low that if requested, staff would conduct a field investigation to
determine an appropriate recommendation specific to a "no pedestrian
crossing" at this un-signalized intersection.
C/Low asked for confirmation that this project meets all of the
development standards and that proper notices were provided. SP/Lee
responded that the project met all development standards and that notices
were mailed to all property owners within 1,000 feet of the project site.
M/Tye said he expressed his concerns prior to returning this to the
Planning Commission for further consideration and still believes the
project is too close to Diamond Bar Boulevard and that due to its scale
and character, does not fit in the neighborhood of smaller residential
dwellings and condos. To C/Low's point, there is parking on both sides of
Soltaire and he can see people parking on Soltaire and jaywalking across
Diamond Bar Boulevard because there is no parking on Diamond Bar
Boulevard.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2020 PAGE 5 CITY COUNCIL
MPT/Lyons said she believes in the rights of the property owner who has
met all of the development standards.
C/Mahlke felt the project was consistent with the land use designation and
while certain things are afforded the property owner, to M/Tye's point,
scale and character can and should be considered.
CA/DeBerry agreed with C/Mahlke's comments. Under state law, the City
is required to make the General Plan designation and the zoning
designation consistent. If there was any thought of not approving the zone
change, the Council would need to direct staff to come back with a
different General Plan or zoning designation. As SP/Lee mentioned, the
General Plan was reviewed on this property in December when the
density was lowered to the lower residential density and Council has
discretion on the design review based on the findings needed to determine
whether or not the project meets those standards. The property meets the
objective development standards and while scale and character can be
considered, what is not proper for consideration is who will live in the
house, whether someone will buy it or whether the property should have
been sold or not, or whether the City should buy the property.
MPT/Lyons moved, C/Mahlke seconded, to approve for First Reading by
title only, waive full reading of Ordinance No. 01 (2020) adopting Zone
Change to modify the existing zoning from Neighborhood Commercial (C-
1) to Low Density Residential (RL), and schedule the Second Reading for

CA/DeBerry stated that if this item did not have a zone change it could
have been approved by the Planning Commission. However, the zoning
code says that when there is an application that seeks a change that must
be approved by the City Council, both must be approved by the City
Council. In this case, the zone change is approved and with a 2-2 vote,
the permit development review is not approved.
CA/DeBerry responded to M/Tye that if the applicant wished to submit a
design that fits with the neighborhood, they would have to go back and
redesign the project and resubmit it to the Planning Commission. Under
the code, a project that is substantially similar to the previous project has
to wait a year for submission and it would be for staff to determine whether
the new project was substantially similar to the old project. Certainly, the
City Council could give direction to the applicant accordingly.
M/Tye said he would not be in favor of requiring the applicant to wait a
year.
CDD/Gubman stated that the Development Code gives the Community
Development Director the authority to make the determination whether or
not a resubmitted project is substantially similar. When reviewing what is
resubmitted and hearing tonight's findings the City Council indicating it
based its denial on the project being out of character with the surrounding
neighborhood due to scale, meaning a project that is smaller with reduced
mass, bulk and scale, he believes that with Council's deliberations, he has
sufficient direction to make that determination.

6. COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
6.1 ZONE CHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW FOR A NEW SINGLE
FAMILY RESIDENCE LOCATED AT 1111 N. DIAMOND BAR
BOULEVARD [PLANNING CASE NO. PL2015-253].
CM/Fox presented a brief report.
M/Tye opened Public Comments.
Douglas Barcon questioned the authenticity of the land use map and
zoning in the updated General Plan, and requested Council verification
that the information presented for their vote is correct.
Paul Diebold questioned the rationale for the zone change and suggested
a condition for future development of the site.
M/Tye closed Public Comments.
CDD/Gubman responded to public comments that the property has always
had a residential designation with a commercial zoning designation. The
landowner presented a conceptual plan for a commercial office building
which met with negative response primarily due to site capacity
restrictions, and the residential General Plan designation was determined
to be consistent with the residential properties to the north and across the
Boulevard and rezoning it to be consistent with the General Plan was
determined to be the more appropriate solution.
CDD/Gubman responded to Mr. Barcon that the General Plan Map on the
City's website is correct and asked Mr. Barcon to please contact SP/Lee
for additional information to help resolve his concerns.
C/Mahlke moved, MPT/Lyons seconded, to approve for Second Reading

6.2 FISCAL YEAR 2020-21 APPROPRIATION ADJUSTMENTS FOR
GENERAL FUND, SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS AND CAPITAL
PROJECT CARRYOVERS AND FISCAL YEAR 2019-20 FINAL
ADJUSTMENTS.
FD/Honeywell presented the staff report.
MPT/Lyons asked if other sources were contacted regarding exchange of
Prop A funds (Item F) and CM/Fox responded that staff is not aware of
any agencies soliciting Prop A funds at this time.
MPT/Lyons asked where the excess money from the design phase of
Sunset Crossing and Heritage parks would go and FD/Honeywell
responded that in general, leftover monies are re -programmed into other
phases of those or other park projects.
C/Low asked if there was a market rate for the exchange of Prop A Funds
and FD/Honeywell said that at this time, cities were not generally in a
position to offer money. C/Low asked if Foothill was offering discounted
rates to their riders and M/Tye said that while it may be addressed at
some point, Foothill is not currently making an issue of non-paying riders.
C/Low asked how the City could use the Prop A funds in lieu of
proceeding with the exchange and FD/Honeywell responded that funds
could be used for bus shelter renovations.
C/Low asked if the $300,000 CDBG funding for COVID-19 relief was
reflected in the revenue or expenditure categories presented this evening.
FD/Honeywell explained that those funds were spent during July/August of
Fiscal Year 2020-21 and are not reflected in the numbers presented this
evening.
FD/Honeywell explained that some of the budget savings was due to
deferred maintenance, law enforcement, Building and Safety, etc. but a
good portion was a result of Parks and Rec programming that did not
happen ($750,000) which allowed for a balanced budget without having to
dip into rainy day funds. Approximately $150,000 in General Fund monies
was used for COVID related expenses, money that will be reimbursed to
the General Fund when federal and state reimbursement monies are
received.
C/Chou asked for staff recommendation to Council for possible uses of the
800,000 or portion thereof as well as, discussions with other agencies
about getting a higher exchange rate.
C/Mahlke said that the June report for monies coming in for Prop A
7.1.c
Packet Pg. 56
OCTOBER 6, 2020 PAGE 5 CITY COUNCIL
indicates numbers are down more than 20 percent which means Diamond
Bar will receive a smaller amount going forward. She asked if the City
ever spent all of its Prop A money and FD/Honeywell responded no, that
the City always has an excess of funds and has been able to exchange
the funds and not lose them. C/Mahlke said she favored Foothill Transit's
purchase because they provide transportation for the City and asked if
other agencies wanted to engage in the exchange. FD/Honeywell said it
has grown increasingly to engage other cities because they are stretching
to meet expenses and preserve their general funds. C/Mahlke asked how
staff arrived at the $800,000 figure. FD/Honeywell said she chose
800,000 because she likes to keep a $100,000 cushion in the fund in
case expenditures are higher than anticipated. She said she would ask
Foothill if they have a minimum dollar amount they would accept at
Council's request.
MPT/Lyons said she understands not wanting to give the money away but
believes the $600,000 could serve the City well if it could be used for
parks.
C/Chou suggested staff come back to the Council with recommendations
for refurbishing a number of bus shelters, research the expiring franchise
agreement with the bus shelter operators, consider adding advertising
space to the shelters for income generation to the City and identify how to
get the highest dollar exchange for remaining funds.
Following Council's discussion on Item F, CM/Fox offered that many of the
bus shelters are in need of repair and should the Council decide to move
forward, staff would implement a plan that would identify this as a Capital
Improvement project for the next Fiscal Year when the City would have an
accumulation of Prop A Funds that would need to be used or exchanged.
Since the franchise agreement expires June 2021, it would be a good time
to research that item as well. In the meantime, the Council may wish to
pursue the exchange to shore up the City's General Fund this Fiscal Year
and avoid having to dip into the emergency contingency funds.
MPT/Lyons felt Council should move forward with at least half of Item F.
M/Tye asked if Item F could be brought back for consideration with a full
report and recommendation and CM/Fox suggested that staff be given
time to prepare a report for presentation to the City Council at a later date
whether to implement a Capital Improvement project and/or to move
forward with the $800,000 sale of Prop A Funds or a portion thereof, and
that Council move forward with action on Items A through E at this time.
C/Low moved, MPT/Lyons seconded, to approve an appropriation from
General Fund reserves of $187,030.40 to carry forward appropriations
from FY 2019-20 to FY 2020-21 for previously encumbered goods and
