PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: The Pledge of Allegiance was led by C/Schad. ROLL CALL: Present: Chairman Goldenberg, Vice Chairman Ruzicka, and Commissioners, McManus and Schad Absent: Commissioner Fong Also Present: Community Development Director James DeStefano, Senior Planner Catherine Johnson, and Assistant Planner Ann Lungu. MATTERS FROM THE AUDIENCE/PUBLIC COMMENTS - None CONSENT CALENDAR: 1. Minutes of January 14, 1997. VC/Ruzicka made a motion, seconded by C/Schad, to approve the minutes of January 14, 1997 as presented. Without objections, the motion was so ordered. OLD BUSINESS - None NEW BUSINESS: 1. Wireless Telecommunications Facilities. Responding to the Planning Commission's request, CDD/DeStefano presented a report regarding wireless telecommunications facilities. With the cooperative effort of neighboring cities staffs and telecommunications carriers LA Cellular, Cox California and the Keith Companies, staff compiled the report. CDD/DeStefano explained the three currently utilized wireless telecommunications facilities known as the Cellular Systems, the Personal Communications Services (PCS) digital systems, and Enhanced Specialized Mobile Radio (ESMR) analog digital systems. Transmission signals replicate and amplify voice messages carried from transmitting antennas to receiving antennas. He pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of the systems. Presently, five providers serve the Southern California area: AirTouch, LA Cellular, NexTel, PacBel Mobile Services, and Cox Communications. There are seventeen o, JANUARY 28f 1997 PAGE 2 PLANNING COMMISSION cellular sites in the City of Diamond Bar. Two additional applications are pending approval with the City. He presented a graphic indicating the cellular site locations. Staff believes that a cellular site master plan exists based upon provider's needs. Some sites accommodate several cellular providers. CDD/DeStefano responded to VC/Ruzicka that the City's ridgeline elevation is not appropriate to accommodate the reception and quality of desired service. At this time, it is not anticipated that single family residences will be asked to accommodate these kinds of services. CDD/DeStefano presented background and historical information regarding communications systems monitored by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). He spoke about neighboring cities ordinances which provide for wireless facilities incorporated within free standing art such as a clock tower. CDD/DeStefano stated Diamond Bar regulates, wireless telecommunications sites through the existing Planning and Zoning Code which allows for use by right in some zones and for use via Conditional Use Permit in other zones. Every zone requires a discretionary review by the Hearing Officer for Administrative Development Review or by the Planning Commission. He talked about the review and approval process with respect to Diamond Bar cellular site installations. Staff determined through general information provided by the telecommunications carriers that property owners who provide cellular site accommodations can expect to receive from $500 to $1200 per month. In addition, many cellular carriers provide additional amenities to the property owner such as property improvements and signage. C/Schad asked if a topographical map indicating line of site installations would prevent interference by proposed construction. He suggested light standards be used for cellular site installations in order to provide income for the City. He also suggested bouncing signals over and around structures. CDD/DeStefano responded that with respect to potential conflicts between property owners and cellular communications carriers, carriers need to locate sites they believe will not be blocked in the future. He stated the City probably would not allow a cellular site facility to dictate potential land use decisions. Chair/Goldenberg recommended tonight's presentation be given to the City Council with emphasis on the permit approval process and developer created master plan. .Y JANUARY 28, 1997 PAGE 3 PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING: 1. Conditional Use Permit 96-10 and Development Review 96-9 (pursuant to Code Section 22.20.100) is a request for an unmanned, wireless telecommunications transmission facilities for two service providers consisting of antennas to be located on a proposed 1,152 square foot barn with equipment cabinets located within and adjacent to the barn. This proposal includes an amendment to Tract Map 42584, removing an easement from said Map restricting vehicle ingress and egress to Armitos Place. Project Address: 24401 Darrin Drive (northwest corner Darrin Drive and Armitos Place) Applicant: Cox California PCS, Inc., 18200 Von Karman Avenue, Suite 100, Irvine, CA 92612 Owner: Eric and Robin Stone, 24401 Darrin Drive, Diamond Bar, CA 91765 CDD/DeStefano presented the staff report. He indicated that in order to provide adequate advertising of this Public Hearing item, staff recommends that the Planning Commission take no action on this item tonight and direct staff to readvertise Conditional Use Permit No. 96-10 and Development Review No. 96-9 when appropriate. VC/Ruzicka moved, C/Schad seconded, to continue Conditional Use Permit No. 96-10 and Development Review No. 96-9. PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS - None INFORMATIONAL ITEMS: 1. Development Code - Informational Update. CDD/DeStefano presented a status update on the Development Code project. He referred the Commissioners to the Windmill Development Code survey results summary enclosure. The City's General Plan is the basis for the Development Code document which may account for the low percentage of public response. The first Town Hall Meeting is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, March 8, 1997. VC/Ruzicka asked if college students could assist in soliciting community response. C/McManus requested copies of the survey and survey responses. C/Schad reiterated his concerns regarding implementation of the Development Code and more particularly, the Tree Ordinance JANUARY 28, 1997 PAGE 4 PLANNINGCOMMISSION with respect to proposed construction projects such as the SunCal project. CDD/DeStefano stated the Tree Ordinance is scheduled to come before the Planning Commission in February. Staff proposes to agendize the Development Code topics in sections similar to the method used for General Plan discussion. The adoption process will incorporate all sections of the proposed Development Code. With respect to the SunCal project, upon acceptance of the Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map, it vests in the rules, regulations and fees that are in process at the time it is deemed to be complete. This Development Code will not become effective until about January 1, 1998. The SunCal Map has been submitted and deemed complete for purposes of processing and will not be captured by the proposed Development Code. However, the SunCal project will fall under the jurisdiction of the City's General Plan. SCHEDULE OF FUTURE EVENTS: In addition to the posted schedule of future events, Chair/ Goldenberg reminded the Commission about the Thursday, January 30, 1997 Parks and Recreation Commission's Parks Master Plan Public Workshop. CDD/DeStefano referred the Commissioners to the City's quarterly Schedule of Events Calendar, ADJOURNMENT: At 8:16 p.m., there being no further business to come before the Planning Commission, VC/Ruzicka moved, C/McManus seconded, to adjourn the meeting to Tuesday, February 11, 1997.

Wentz, City Engineer/Director of Public Works FROM: David G. Liu, Deputy Director. of Public Works Tseday Aberra, Administrative Assistant SUBJECT: Traffic circulation at median break on Diamond Bar Boulevard between Grand Avenue and Clear Creek Canyon Drive BACRGROIIND/DISCIISSION: Pursuant to the request of the Planning Commission, investigation of traffic circulation at median break on Diamond Bar Boulevard between Grand Avenue and Clear Creek Canyon Drive has been initiated. The investigation includes all vehicle maneuvers from the two commercial centers (which house Pick-n-Save, Ralph's and others) onto north and southbound Diamond Bar Boulevard. The Department of Public Works contacted Nikko Capital and Pacific West, management companies of Diamond Bar Towne Center (Ralph's) and Diamond Bar Towne Square (Pick-n-Save), respectively. The Property Manager of the Ralph's Commercial center relayed to staff that he has not received concerns related to vehicle maneuvering from businesses and patrons of the center, except once, approximately six months ago. The concern, again, was related to egress from the center. Staff was unable to communicate with the property manager of the Pick-n-Save center. Based on a site investigation, it is staffs opinion that there is a concern with traffic circulation at median break on Diamond Bar Boulevard between Grand Avenue and Clear Creek Canyon Drive. Staff has brought this matter to the attention of Traffic and Transportation Commission in order to determine whether a traffic engineering consultant should be retained in order to study this intersection. Should the Commission concur with staff to retain a consultant to conduct a study, it is recommended that the two management companies contribute financially to said study. RECOMMENDATION• That the Traffic and Transportation Commission discuss the median break on Diamond Bar Boulevard between Grand Avenue and Clear Creek Canyon Drive and provide input to staff as necessary. / =-:\/ CITY OF DIAMOND BAR I ^' INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: David Liu, Deputy Public Works Director' FROM: James DeStefano, Community SUBJECT: Median break on Diamond Bar Boulevard Grand Avenue and Clear Creek Canyon Drive DATE: December 2, 1996 At the November 25, 1996 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission expressed concern over vehicles utilizing a median break on Diamond Bar Boulevard between Grand Avenue and Clear Creek Canyon Drive. This concern was raised by the Boston Market restaurant proposal. The concern is twofold: 1. Vehicles utilizing the median break to maneuver left turns when exiting Diamond Bar Town Centre (Pic N Save) and Diamond Bar Towne Center (Ralph's); and 2. Vehicles maneuvering across Diamond Bar Boulevard into the shopping centers. The Commission suggested that this matter be reviewed and presented to the Traffic and Transportation Commission if required for mitigation. Additionally, it was suggested that "right turn only" signs be installed at the shopping center exits to Diamond Bar Boulevard. Please investigate the concern expressed by the Planning Commission and let me know the results of your review. Thanks. cc: Planning Commission
