Summary
The appticant is requesting approval of Variances to build a swimming pool and spa
within the front setback, located 10'-6" from the front property line (pools are not allowed
within the front setback) and to construct a six-foot high wroiaght iron fence located �five
feet from the front property line (fences are not allowed to exceed 42-inches within the
front setback).
Variances are being requested because the existing lot does not have an available
building pad/space in the rear of the property to build a pool due to the topographical
constraints of the site. The proposed location was chosen because it is the only pad
available on the property to build a pool. If the applicant were to create a new buildable
pad towards the rear of the property, the costs associated with engineering, grading,
and building a pad and associated retaining walls would be very high.
After evaluating the information submitted by the applicant, staff does not believe that
the Variances can be approved due to the inabilifiy to make all of the required findings
for approval as discussed in the report. Therefore, after holding the public hearing and
considering all testimony, staff recommends that the Planning Commission deny the
Variances, based on the facts and findings of the project.
�A��GROUN��
Site ���cription:
The projecrt ��te ��ras first �eve{oped as a 2,071 square-foot singfe family residence in
1973 under Las Angeles County standards. The properfiy was sub�equently sold, and
in 1992, the home �ras demolished and repfaced with a 6,600 square-foot home and
690 sq�are-fcct aarag�.
�he subject p��o�erty is iacated at the southwesterly corner of Shady Ridge Lane and
Br�ided Mar�e Dri�Je. The site is legally described as Lot 85 of Tract No. 23483, and the
Assessar s I�arce� N�mber (APN) is 8713-036�001. The gross area of fhe parcel.
including privafe s�reet easements is 78,843 square feet (1 .81 acres). The r�et lot area
is 54,886 square feef (1.26 acres).
The project s�te is [ocated on a reverse corner lot. A reverse corner lot is a fot where
the rear of tf�e carner lot abuts the side property Pine of the first interior iot (key lot). The
graphic below illustrates the relative configurations of a reverse corner and key fot.

The front setback requirement is the distance by which a structure or development
feature must be separated from the front lot line. On a corner lot, the Development
Code defines the front property line as the one with the shorter street frontage.

The existing front and the rear setbacks of the existing home do not meet the required
setbacks for the RR zone. When the previous home was demolished and rebuilt in
1992, the City used Los Angeles County development standards because the City's
current Development Code was not adopted until 1998.
Proiect Description
The proposed project consists of the following components within the front setback:
• A swimming pool and spa;
• Pool equipment with a 5'-6" high stuccoed block wall enclosure; and
• A six-foot high wrought iron fence.

The topography of the property is a 1:1 descending slope that starts at the front of the
property and continues to the rear of the property. The existing house is built on a
finished pad with minimal rear yard.
Applicant's Request
As stated, due to the steep fopography behind the house, there is no available building
pad/space in the rear of the property to build a pool due to the topographical constraints
of the site. The engineering and earthwork required to create a buildable pad at the
rear of the property would be very expensive.
The applicant also stated that they do not want to change the natural topography of the
property that is currently being enjoyed by all surrounding neighbors. If the pool were to
be built in the rear yard, the topography of the property would be changed by creating a
buildable pad and manufactured slopes with retaining walis.

ANALYSIS:
Regulatory Criteria:
Variances are exemptions and relief from the Development Code triggered by
unusual/special circumstances on the property such as location, shape, size,
surroundings, topography, or other condition. There are two tiers of Variances defined
in the Development Code.
1: A Minor Variance application is a request to decrease 20 percent or less in the
required setback/yard area for structures, landscaping, swimming pools/spas and
associated equipment, in addition to other development standards. The decision
making authority is the Community Development Director. Often, Minor
Variances are referred to the Planning Commission because they are proposed
in conjunction with a development proposal subject to Commission approval.
2. A Variance application is a request to exceed the limitations of a Minor Variance,
which include setbacks exceeding the 20% limitation subject to approval of a
Minor Variance, in addition to other development standards. The decision
making authority for a Variance is the Planning Commission.
Variances may be granted when the strict application of the Development Code denies
the property owner privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity and under
identical zoning districts or creates an unnecessary, and non-self-created, hardship or
Variance No. PL 2010-422 Page 7 of 13

, � i . ;
;���;.�'�
unreasonable regulation which makes it obviously impractical to require compliance with
the devefopment standards. For example, if a new house is proposed on an extremely
small or narrow lot where it is impracfical to meet ail of the applic�ble development
standards, then a Variance could be granted to reduce the setback requirements to
provide relief from the physica6 constraints on the property. Moreover, since building a
house on a residentialfy zoned property is a land use right under most circumstances,
the granting of a Variance �Nould be appropriate in such a situation.
In compliance with State lays�, specific "findings" must be made before a decision-making
body may approve a i/ariance. Findings for approval are an analysis of facts,
regulations and policies that explain the progression oi the facts through established
standards on which the decision is based. Findings should: 1)a provide a framework for
making principled decisions, enhancing the integrit� of the admir�istrative process;
2). help make analysis orderly and reduce the likelihood that the agency will randomly
leap from evidence to conclusions; and 3). help to persuade the parties that the
decision-making is careful, reasoned and equitable. This requires decision-makers to
identify the reasons supporting a decision prior to taking action.
To grant the Variance, there are five findings that need to be fulfilled to ensure that the
Variance is not granted due to special privilege(s} inconsistent with the limitations on
other properties in the vicinity and zoning district in which the property is situated.
These findings are as follows:
1 . There are special circumstances applicable to the property (e.g., location, shape,
size, surroundings, topography, or other conditions), so that the strict application
of this development code denies the property owner priuileges enjoyed by other
property owners in the vicinity and under identical zaning districts or creates an
unnecessary, and non-self-created, hardship or unreasonable regulation which
makes it obviausly impractical to require compliance with the development
standards;
2. Granting the Variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of
substantial property rights possessed by other property owners in the same
vicinity and zoning district and denied to the property owner for which the
variance is sought;
3. Granting the variance is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable
specific plan; '
4. The proposed entitlement would not be detrimental to the public interest, health,
safety, convenience, or welfare of the city; and
5. i he proposed entitlement has been reviev�ed in compliai�ce with the provisions
of the California Envircnmenfial Quality ,�ct (CECA).

Planninct Commission Discussion/Policv
To assist the Commission in reaching a conclusion as to whether or not all of the
required Variance findings can be made, staff recommends that the Planning
Commission consider the following policy questions:
1. Is every owner of a single-family residence entitled to have a swimming pool if
they can afford one? Or should a swimming pool be regarded as an elective
amenity that is appropriate only if there is available space within the constraints
of the devefopment standards applicable to the property?
2. Should topographical constraints be regarded as a valid basis for granting a
Variance to construct a swimming pool on a property in a location otherwise
forbidden by the applicable setback standards? Or should such constraints be
considered when planning the development of a property in order to
accommodate pools and other amenities, so that tradeoffs are consciously made
between building square footage and outdoor amenities?
3. Is the proposed swimming pool in the front yard in an appropriate location? Does
it degrade neighborhood character?
Required Findings for Approval: ,
After evaluating the information submitted by the applicant, and analyzing facts relevant
to this matter, staff has concluded that three of the five findings required to grant the
requested Variances cannot be made. This conclusion is based on the analysis '
provided below:
Finding No. 1: Are there special circumstances applicable to the property
(e.g., location, shape, size, surroundings, topography, or other conditions), so that
the strict application of this Development Code denies the property owner privileges
enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity and under identical zoning districts
or creates an unnecessary, and non-self-created, hardship or unreasonable
regulation which makes it obviously impractical to require compliance with the
development standards?
No.
• The previous home was demolished and replaced with a larger building footprint
in 1992.
The site was graded in 1973 with a building pad when it was first developed. In
1992, a new home was rebuilt with a larger building footprint with minimal rear
yard on the same sized building pad as the original house. Since the home was
rebuilt with a larger building footprint on the same building pad, there was no
intent for any accessory structures, and thus is self-imposed hardship was
created.
Variance No. PL 2010-422 Page 9 of 13
• There are no properties in the Rural Residential zone, including The Country
Estates that have been recently developed �Nith a pQol within the front setback.
Alf new single-family homes, additions, and accessory structures are reviewed
for compliance with the City's Development Code and Design Guidelines.
Because a poot in the front setback is not allowed per the Development Code,
there have not been approvals since the Development Code ��as adopted in
1998. The Country Estates currently has 888 properties where 30-50% of the
homes have pools. Of those that have pools, 10 have pools within the front
setback, but were all approved prior to the City's Development Code adoption;
these homes are classified as legal nonconforming, or "grandfathered" under the
defunct L.A. County development standards. Attached are aerials showing the
properties with a nonconforming pool within the front setback (Attachment 3), and
the table below lists all of the property addresses, year the homes were built,
year the pools were built, and distance of the pools from the front property line.

Finding No. 2: Is granting the Variance necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of substantial property rights possessed by other property owners in the
same vicinity and zoning district and denied to the property owner for which the
Variance is sought?
No.
• The Country offers a variety of amenities, including a svvimming pool.
The Country offers many amenities for their residents, including a swimming
pool, board room, club house, community park, and tennis courts. These
amenities are available to residents that do no� have them on their properties.
• If a pool was an essential component of a single-fa��ily home, then it would not
be considered an accessory structure/use.
Variance No. PL 2010-422 Page 10 of 13
� � . . . , .. ,.. . . . . . . . _, _ , .
i
,
It is a land use right to build a home on a residentially zoned property. A pool is
not a necessity, but an amenity a homeowner may elect to construct provided
there is property to do so. Therefore, staff believes that it should not be
considered an essential component of a single-family home. In addition, the
association ofFers the use of the community swimming pool.
• Other properties have steep slopes and topographical constraints, but are
designed to comply with the City's Development Code standards.
There are many properties in The Country that have steep slopes and irregular
topography. These lots are designed and developed to include accessory
structures and amenities during the site and grading configuration of the lot.
When developing properties with complex topography - such as those in The
Country, it is crucial to plan for the build-out of the site at the beginning of the �
design process. Unless properly planned for, homes in The Country typically do
not have "room to grow" that flatland properties may. It is clear that the planning
necessary for a significant amenity such as a pool did not occur on the subject
property.
Finding No. 3: Is granting the Variance consistent with the General Plan and any
' applicable specific plan?
No.
General Plan Objective 1.2 states that it shall be City policy to "preserve and
maintain the quality of existing residential neighborhoods while offering a variety of
housing opportunities, including mixed land uses." Because no pools have been built
in The Country within the front setback since the time that the Development Code
was adopted in 1998, it would not preserve, maintain, or be compatible with the
character of the neighborhood.
General Plan Objective 1.2, Strategy 1.2.4 states that it shall be City policy to
"maintain residential areas which provide for ownership of single family housing and
require that new development be compatible with the prevailing character of the
surrounding neighborhood." It is not typical to have a pool that is located in the front
yard facing the street. Accessory structures such as tennis courts and barbeque
areas are located behind the house in the rear yard areas. To preserve and
maintain the character of single-family residential neighborhoods, accessory
structures should be placed towards the rear of the property.
General Plan Objective 1.2, Strategy 1.2.6 states that it shall be City policy to
"broaden the range of, and encourage innovatian in, housing types. Require
developments within all residential areas to provide amenities such as common
usable, active open space and recreational areas, when possible." Considering that
The Country Estates offers amenities to its residents, the objective and strategy of
Variance No. PL 2010-422 Page 11 of 13
. . �� : �
'� � � . � , .� , , ., .
tne General Plan are met and having these amenities on individua! private properties
is neither required nor a necessity.
Finding No. 4: Would the proposed entitlement not be detrimental to the public
interest, heaith, safety, convenience, or weffare of the city?
Yes.
If the Variances were to be approved, the construction of the pooi would be subject
to the life safety standards of the California Building Code,
Finding No. 5: Has the proposed entitlement been reviewed in compliance with the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA}?
Yes.
If the Variances were to be approved, the proposed project would be deemed
categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmentai Quality Act
(CEQA} as set forth under Article 19 Section 15303 (e) (New Construction of
Swimming Paol) of the CEQA Guidelines. No further environmental review is
required.
ALTERNATIVES:
After holding the public hearing and considering all testimony, the Planning Commission
may take one of the following actions:
1 . Determine that the findings for Variances, contained in Section 22.54 of the
Diamond Bar Development Code cannot be made and adopt the attached
Resolutian (Attachment 1) denying Variances No. PL 2010-422, to deny a
swimming pool, spa, and six-foot high wrought iron fence within the front setback;
OR
2. If the Planning Commission determines that there is evidence and information to
support findings for approval, then the Commission should continue the matter to
April 12, 2011, and direct staff to prepare a resolution for approval based on the
positive findings articulated by the Commission; OR
3. Continue the matter to a later date for additional information.
CONCLUSION:
In light of the analysis provided in this report, staff recommends that the Planning
Commission adopt the attached Resolution to deny Variance No. PL 2010-422 based
on the findings contained therein.

Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Variances shall be referred to as
the "Proposed Project." ,
2. The subject property is comprised of one parcel totaling 78,843 gross square
feet (1.81 acres), and 54,886 net square feet (1.26 acres). It is located in
the Rural Residential (RR} zone with an underlying General Plan land use

5. On March 22, 2011, the Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar
conducted a duly noticed public hearing, solicited testimony from all
interested individuals, and concluded said hearing on that date.
B. RESOLUTI�N
NOW, THEREFORE, it is found, determined and resolved by the Planning
Commission of the City of Diamond Bar as follows:
1. The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts
set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.
2. The Planning Commission hereby determines the Project to be
Categorically Exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the provisions of Article 19,
Section 15303 (e) (new construction of swimming pool) of the CEQA
Guidelines. Therefore, no further environmental review is required.
C. FINDINGS OF FACT
Based on the findings and conclusions set forth herein and as prescribed under
Diamond Bar Municipal Code (DBMC) Section 22.54, this Planning Commission
hereby finds as follows:
Variance Findinqs (DBMC Section 22.54)
1. There are no special circumstances that are applicable to the property
such as location, shape, size, surroundings, topography, or other
conditions. The strict application of this development code does not deny
the property owner privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the
vicinity and under identical zoning districts or creates an unnecessary, and
non-self-created, hardship or unreasonable regulation which makes it
obviously impractical to require compliance with the City's development
standards.
The previous home was demolished and replaced with a larger building
footprint in 1992. The site was graded in 1973 with a building pad when it
was first developed. In 1992, a new home was rebuilt with a larger
building footprint with minimal rear yard on the same sized building pad as
the original house. Since the home was rebuilt with a larger building
footprint on the same building pad, there was no intent for any accessory
structures, and thus a self-imposed hardship was created.
There are no properties in the Rural Residential zone, including The
Country Estates that have been recently developed with a pool within the
front setback. All new single-family homes, additions, and accessory
structures are reviewed for compliance with the City's Development Code
and Design Guidelines. Because a pool in the front setback is not allowed
per the Development Code, there have not been approvals since the
Development Code was adopted in 1998. The Country Estates currently
has 888 properties where 30-50°/o of the homes have pools. Of those that
have paols, 10 have pools within the front setback, but were all approved
prior to the City's Development Code adoption; these homes are classified
as legal nonconforming, or "grandfathered" under the defunct L.A. County
development standards.
. � '��` + 2
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2011-XX
2. Granting the variance is not necessary for the preservation or enjoyment
of substantial property rights possessed by other property owners in the
same vicinity and zoning district.
,
The Country offers a variety of amenities for its residents, including a
swimming pool, board room, club house, community park, and tennis
courts. These amenities are available to residents that do not have them
on their properties.
If a pool was an essential component of a single-famil.y home, then it
would not be considered an accessory structure/use. It is a land use right
to build a home on a residentially zoned property. A pool is not a
- necessity, but an amenity a homeowner may elect to construct provided
there is property to do so. Therefore, staff believes that it should not be
_ considered an essential component of a single-family home. In addition,
the association offers the use of the community swimming pool.
Other properties have steep slopes and topographical constraints, but are
designed to comply with the City's Development Code standards. There
are many properties in The Country that have steep slopes and irregular
topography. These lots are designed and developed to include accessory
structures and amen'ities during the site and grading configuration of the
lot. When developing properties with complex topography - such as those
in The Country, it is crucial to plan for the build-out of the site at the
beginning of the design process. Unless properly planned for, homes in
The Counfry typically do not have "room to grow" that flatland properties
may. It is clear that the planning necessary for a significant amenity such
as a pool did not occur on the subject property.
3. Granting the variances is not consistent with the General Plan and any
applicable specific plan.
General Plan Objective 1.2 states that it shall be City policy to "preserve
and maintain the quality of existing residential neighborhoods while
offering a variety of housing opportunities, including mixed land uses."
Because no pools have been built in The Country within the front setback
since the time that the Development Code was adopted in 1998, it would
not preserve, maintain, or be compatible with the character of the
neighborhood.
General Plan Objective 1.2, Strategy 1.2.4 states that it shall be City policy
to "maintain residential areas which provide for ownership of single family
housing and require that new development be compatible with the
' prevailing character of the surrounding neighborhood." It is not typical to
� have a pool that is located in the front yard facing the street. Accessory
structures such as tennis courts and barbeque areas are located behind
i the house in the rear yard areas. To preserve and maintain the character
3
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2011-XX
of single-family residential neighborhoods, accessory structures should be
placed towards the rear of the property.
General Plan Objective 1.2, Strategy 1.2.6 states that it shall be City policy
to "broaden the range of, and encourage innovation in, housing types.
Require developments within all residential areas to provide amenities
such as common usable, active open space and recreational areas, when
possible." Considering that The Country Estates offers amenities to its
residents, the objective and strategy of the General Plan are met and
having these amenities on individual private properties is neither required
, nor a necessity.
4. The proposed entitlement would not be detrimental to the public interest,
health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the city;
If the Variances were to be approved, the construction of the pool would
be subject to the life safety standards of the California Building Code.
5. The proposed entitlement has been reviewed in compliance with the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
If the Variances were to be approved, the proposed project would be
deemed categorically exempt from the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as set forth under Article 19 Section
15303 (e) (New Construction of Swimming Poof) of the CEQA Guidelines.
No further environmental review is required.
Based on the findings and conclusions set forth above and prescribed under DBDC
Section 22.54, the Planning Commission hereby finds and denies the proposed project.
The Planning Commission shall:
(a) Certify to the adoption of this Resolution; and
(b) Forthwith transmit a certified copy of this Resolution, by certified mail, to:
Steven Chu, 2615 Braided Mane Drive, Diamond Bar, CA 91765 and
Gordon T. Myers, Elegant Pools, 31200 Landau Blvd. #2203, Cathedral

Attachment 2
Letter of Request for Variance
The request to apply for a city variance for the construction of a swimming pool and spa
'F im the side yard of 2615 Braided Mane,located in the Diamond Baz Coun.try Estates was
suggested by the Diamand Baz City Plan�Division,because of the unusual
positioning of the residence and how it's located on the lot.Apparentiy,due to the
mail.box and mailing address being on 2615 Braided Mane, it's considered to be the
front yard(see plan)when in faet only a percentage of the front yard is located on
Braided Man.e. The ma.in pa�f of the front yard is located on Shad.y Ridge an.d has the
approach to the drive-way,garage and front door with only a driveway turn around and
mailbox located on Braided Man�.Along with the submittal of construction piot plans,
; photos and response to the burden of proof, it is our intention to illustrate the fact that the
location of the construction.project in the side yazd that is parallel with Braided Mane has
an 8' hedge separa.ting the street and conshuction site�or privacy. Therefare,the
placement of the pool and spa aie in the best interest for all parties(homeowners and
neighbors)assurin.g safety with the.proposal of a 5°to 6 wrought iron fence as a poal
bazrier. I�nimizing environmental disturbance to the natural landscape so many enjoy.
The conshuction plaus along.with the loca.tion of the pool arid spa have already been
agproved by t}ie Diamond Bat Country Esta#es Association;a boazd kn.own for ext7rremely
high standatds for this gatecl coinmunity. The project aud the spe�i.fi.c location of the
pool and sp�:have also been approved by certified constntction engin.eers as well. �
Overall,it is out`hope along:with the homeownex that our full submittal of the
construction project for the pool and spa will be reviewed with grea#considera.tion and
approved plans will allow filie Chu Family ta enjoy their ba+ckyazd with a pool and spa.

The pro�ery which home is located at Braided Mane has unusual positioning in which the front faces directly towards the corner
of Braided Mane and Sliady Rid e with the drivewa��arage entrance on Shadv Ridge. The side of houseJyard faces Braided
Mane�,the pronosed swimmin�pool and spa construction site}. Theze is an existin�8'hig_,_h hedge between the street and side

of fhe Diamond Bar CounttY Estates and nsi bor expec�A Sor 6 wrought iron fence for a pool barrier is atso being kroposed
to prolect.
The backYard e�thibits an extremely narrow level area with a 1:1 slope(Down)and approximatety 150'+long that would require
multiple retaininu�walls and en�ineerin�t�at would resnit in an enormous cost tb the homeowner The situation wovid also
dratnatically chan�e the nat�al environmentai flow ofthe landscape enjoved by all surroundin neighbors.
2. Granting the Variance/Minor Variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rigl�ts possessed

3. Granting the V ariance/Minor Variance is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific g2an;and any Specific
Plan;and
On September 14,2010,three sets of pians were submitted to the city of Diamond Bar Plaaniui�Division. All three sets have
aparoved en�nee .ruig for the side yard and have the stamp of approval by the CC&R of Diamond Baz Country Estates
(8/27/10)for desiQn,location.and all pioper setbacks for construction of the Pool and spa projecf.in a side yard at Braided Mane.
There has been no additional request.or alterations to the plans submitted. All constmction will be performed specificall�to

4. The proposed entitlement would not be detrimeutal to the public mterest,health,safety,convenience,or welfare of the Cit};and
The proposed entitlement for conshvction of a residential.swimmin�pool and spa in a residential neighborhood will not effect
surroundin nei bors b�maintaining a 8'hi�h hedge between Braided Mane and pool and soa area maXirr►i�;ng privacv for the
homeowner as well as people passing bv. All Building healtt�and safety requirements will be met per code. As much as it is in
the best interest to the Citv of Diamond Bar to maintain a famiiy oriented environmen�it is also a homeowners'right to recreate
and enioy their home and vard with their family as others do.
5. The proposed entitlement has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEGA).
� The nroposed location of the swimmin�pool and spa on existing flat�raded site as shown will eliminate or minimi�p environ-
Mentat damaQe to the tmdisturbed natural ve�1etated ravine located in the rear�ard. The extensive eradin�required to install the
pool and sna in the rear vard will disrupt the character of this azea and will disturb the aesthetic beauty to the surroundin�

DATE: March 22, 2011
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Greg Gubman, AICP, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: 2008-2014 Housinq Element Update
OVERVIEW:
Under state law the City is required to prepare a Housing Element update for the 2008-
2014 planning period. A Draft Housing Element was prepared arid reviewed by the
Planning Commission and City Council during 2008-09. Following review by the
Commission and Council, the Draft Housing Element was submitted to the California
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for review. After a series
of discussions between City staff and HCD and revisions to the draft element, on
January 18, 2011 a letter, was received from HCD stating that the draft element
addresses statutory requirements. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission
conduct a public hearing and recommend adoption of the 2008-2014 Housing Element
update to the City CounciL
BACKGROUND:
- The Housing Element is one of the seven mandated elements of the General Plan, and
establishes goals, policies, and programs related to improving and expanding the City's
housing supply for all economic segments of the community. Every city and county in
California is required by state law to update the Housing Element periodically. The law
also requires that the Housing Element be reviewed by the California Department of
Housing and Community Development ("HCD") and that HCD provide its findings to the
local agency.
The Housing Element includes the following topics:
■ An analysis of the City's demographic and housing characteristics and trends,
and an evaluation of the nature and extent of specific housing needs within the
C ity;

■ A review of resources and opportunities related to the development and
improvement of housing, especially housing that is affordable to lower-income
households;
■ An examination of potential constraints affecting the construction of new
housing units, and the maintenance and improvement of the City's existing
housing stock, inciuding market mechanisms, government programs and
regulations, and infrastructure constraints; and
■ A Housing Plan that establishes programs and strategies to achieve the City's
housing goals through 2014.
A key component of the Housing Element update process is the identification of housing
needs due to projected population growth during the 2008-2014 planning period. This
process is known as the Regional Housing Needs Assessment ("RHNA"). The
Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) has the responsibility for
determining the number of new housing units needed to accommodate projected
population growth for each city and county in the region. Diamond Bar's share of the
region's growth need was identified as 1,090 new housing units distributed among the
following income categories:

Very 1 � Above
Low ' Low � Moderate Moderate 'i�otal
284 179 188 440 1,090
Source:SCAG 2007
The RHNA is a planning target, not a development quota. As part of the Housing
Element update, each city is required to analyze the potential development capacity of
vacant or underutilized sites and identify an "inventory" of parcels at appropriate
densities that could accommodate the RHNA allocation for new housing units.
HOUSING ELEMENT REVIEW BY HCD:
State law� mandates that cities submit draft Housing Elements to HCD prior to adoption,
and requires HCD to determine whether the draft element substantially complies with
the requirements of state law. This requirement is unique to the Housing Element of the
General Plan in that no other general plan element is subject to such a determination by
an external agency. Prior to adoption of the draft Housing Element, the Planning

Commission and City Council must consider HCD's findings. A finding of substantial
compliance by HCD is referred to as Hausing Element "certification." Certification is
important in order to preserve local land use control, avoid a "carryover" of housing
needs into the next planning period, and maintain eligibility for certain grant funding
programs.
The first draft of the Diamond Bar Housing Element was submitted to HCD on
September 19, 2008, and the first HCD review letter was received on October 21, 2008
(Attachment 1). A revised draft Housing Element responding to HCD comments was
prepared and submitted to HCD on June 1, 2009, and the second HCD review letter
was received on August 4, 2009 (Attachment 2). Following additional revisions, a third
draft Housing Element was submitted to HCD on May 24, 2010, and on July 22, 20'f 0,
the third HCD review letter was received (Attachment 3). Additional revisions were
made to address remaining HCD comments and a fourth draft Housing Element was
submitted to HCD on November 19, 2010. On January 18, 2011, the fourth HCD review
letter (Attachment 4) was received stating that the draft element addresses the
requirements of state law.
As is the case with most jurisdictions, the key issue in obtaining HCD approval was
- demonstrating that adequate sites will be made available to accommodate the City's
RHNA allocation. Diamond Bar's RHNA for lower-income households in the 2008-2014
forecast period is 466 units2. Under state law, a density of at least 30 units/acre is
considered necessary to facilitate development of affordable housing in metropolitan
areas. Therefore, a total of 15.6 acres of land is needed at a density of 30 units/acre to
�; accommodate the lower-income RHNA. Since there are currently no potential
residential development sites allowing this density, at least 15.6 acres of land must be
rezoned to allow multi-family development at 30 units/acre.
HOUSING ELEMENT IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS:
The Draft Housing Element (Appendix B, Table B-2 on p. B-5) identifies potential sites
for rezoning to meet the City's needs. These sites are located in Planning Area 1 of the
Tres Hermanos Specific Plan, near Diamond Ranch High School (see Figure B-2 on p.
B-6). The total area of the parcels from which the potential rezoning sites would be
selected is approximately 112 acres. Program 9 (Chapter V, p. V-8) contains a
commitment to rezone at least 15.6 acres in order to accommodate a minimum of 466
multi-family housing units with a density of 30 units/acre.
It is important to note that the Housing Element itself would not change any zoning or
General Plan land use designations. Following adoption of the Housing Element, the
z In addition to 463 units identified in the RHNA, 3 lower-income units were assigned as part of an
annexation agreement between Diamond Bar and the County of Los Angeles that included a RHNA
transfer of 8 units (Annexation 2007-20).

City will initiate the environmental studies needed to assist the Planning Commission
and City Council in identifying the appropriate sites to be rezoned. Zone changes would
be reviewed by the Commission and Council at public hearings.
In addition to the zone changes described above, other implementation actions would
also require subsequent review and approval by the Planning Commission and City
Council, including Municipal Code amendments in the following areas:
• Aliow emergency shelters in the RM District subject to appropriate development
standards (Program 12, p. V-10)
• Clarify that transitional / supportive housing is a residential use subject to the
same development standards and procedures as other residential uses of the
same type in the same zone (Program 12, p. V-10)
• Amend the City's density bonus regulations in conformance with state law
(Program 14, p. V-11)
• Establish procedures for reviewing requests for reasonable accommodation by
persons with disabilities (Program 17, p. V-13)3
COMPLIANCE WITH CEQA:
A Draft Initial Study/Negative Declaration (Attachment 6) was prepared and posted for
30-day public review on February 18, 2011. The Draft Negative Declaration concluded
that the adoption of the Housing Element would not have a significant effect on the
environment. At the time this report was prepared, no comments had been received on
the Draft IS/ND.
PUBLIC NOTICE:
On February 18, 2011, a Notice of Public Hearing was published in the Inland Vallev
DaiIV Bulletin and San Gabriel Valley Tribune newspapers, and was also posted at
City's three designating posting sites. In addition, the Draft Housing Element and Initial
Study/Negative Declaration were posted on the City's website on February 18, 2011
and will remain posted online throughout the Planning Commission and City Council
hearing process.
3 The City Councii adopted Ordinance No. 3(2010) on May 18, 2010, which establishes procedures for
considering and granting reasonable accommodation requests.

Dear Mr. Gubman:
RE: Review of the City of Diamond Bar's Draft Housing Element
Thank you for submitting Diamond Bar's housing element received for the Department's
review on September 19, 2008. The Department is required to review draft housing
elements and report the findings to the locality pursuant to Government Code
Section 65585(b). A telephone conversation with you and Mr. John Douglas, the City's
consultant, facilitated the review.
The draft element addresses many statutory requirements; however, revisions will be
necessary to comply with State housing element law (Article 10.6 of the Government
Code). In particular, the element should include analyses of the adequacy of identified
sites to accommodate the regional housing need for lower-income households and revise
programs to address identified housing needs. The enclosed Appendix describes these
and other revisions needed to comply with State housing element law.
The Department hopes these comments are helpful and would be happy to arrange a
meeting in either Diamond Bar or Sacramento to provide any assistance needed to
facilitate your efforts to bring the element into compliance. If you have any questions or
would like assistance, please contact James Johnson, of our staff, at (916) 323-7271.
Sincerely,
.,� �;�

APPENDIX .
" � CI�fY OF DIAMOND BAR
The following changes would bring Diamond Bar's housing element into compliance with
Article 10.6 of the Government Code. Accompanying each recommended change, we cite the
supporting section of the Government Code.
Housing element technical assistance information is available on the Department's website at
www.hcd.ca.qov/hpd. Refer to the Division of Housing Policy Development and the section
pertaining to State Housing Planning. Among other resources, the Housing Element section
contains the Department's latest technical assistance tool Building Blocks for Etfecfive Housing
Elements (Building Blocks) available at http://www.hcd.ca.aov/hpd/housinq element/index.html, the
Department's publication, Housing Element Questions arrd Answers (Qs & As), and the
Government Code addressing State housing element law and other resources.
A. Housinq Needs, Resources, and Constraints
1 . Include an analysis and documentation of household characteristics, including level of
payment compared to ability to pay, housing characteristics, including overcrowding,
and housing sfock condition (Section 65583(a)(2)).
While the element provides information on lower-income households overpaying, it
should also include information on all households averpaying in Diamond Bar. In
addition, given the extent of overpayment for lower-income renters, the element should
include a specific analysis of the needs and resources available for these households.
For your information, CHAS Data indicates 3,061 (38.7 percent) renters and 14,604
(34.1 percent) owners are overpaying in Diamond Bar.
2. /nclude an rnventory of land s�itable for residential development, including vacant sites
and sites havrng the potential for redevelopment, and an analysis of the relationship of
zoning and public facilities and services to these sites (Section 65583(a)(3)). The
inventory of land suitable for residential development shall be used to identify sites thaf
can be developed for housing within the planning period (Section 65583.2).
Diamond Bar has a regional housing need allocation (RHNA) of 1090 units with
284 units allocated for lower-income households. The element must include parcel
specific inventory of potential sites for rezoning with all relevant analysis. While the
element acknow'edges a shortFall of sites to accommodate the City's regional need for
lower-income households and includes Program 9 (page V-7) to address the need, it
still must identify and analyze the adequacy potential rezone sites.
In addition, to demonstrate the adequacy of sites identified in Table B-1, the element
should be revised as follows:
Realistic Capacity: The element must demonstrate how the residential development
capacity of sites identified vvere determined. If the City has established a minimum
density regulation, the element may use the minimum density for the site capacity
calculation. atherwise, the element should describe the methodolagy used in
calculation of anticipatec! capacity on the identified sites. For non-residential sites, the
r- iII f _ , �.

1 • � '� �
residential capacity estimates should consider the extent to which non-residential uses
are allowed and any performance standards. This analysis must adjust the calculation
based on land-use controls and site improvements and could also incorporate typicatly
built densities of the community.
To address the identified shortfall of sites to accommodate the City's remaining regional
need, particularly for lower-income households, in addition to the sites identified in the
inventory, the City could consider additional strategies to increase total residential
development capacity of sites within the existing City boundaries, including identifying
opportunities for redevelopment or mixed-use development, such as those sites within
the City's two mixed-use planning areas (page IV-2). For additional information on
these strategies and needed analysis required to demonstrate the adequacy of City
actions to address the City's shortfall of sites, refer to the Building Blocks'section on
Sites Inventory and Analysis at http:llwww.hcd.ca.gov�hpolhousinq element2ISIA zoninq.php.
Environmental Constraints: In the element (page IV-13), the City states a large portion
of available land is located upon steep slopes, some of which have a potential for
landslide hazards. The element should detail whether the sites identified in the land
inventory are affected by the slopes and the impact on the supply and affordability of
housing.
Sites with Zoninq for a Variety of Housinq Types: The housing element must
demonstrate the availability of sites, with appropriate zoning, that will encourage and
facilitate a variety of housing types including supportive housing, emergency shelters,
and transitional housing. An adequate analysis should, at a minimum, identify whether
and how zoning districts explicitly allow the uses, analyze whether zoning, development
standards and permit procedures encourage and facilitate these housing types. If the
analysis does not demonstrate adequate zoning for these housing types, the element
must include impiementation actions to provide appropriate zoning.
Emergency Shelfers: Please note, the City must comply with Chapter 633,
Statutes of 2007 (SB 2), requiring, among other things, the identification of at least
- one zone(s) where emergency shelters are permitted without a conditional use permit
(CUP) or other discretionary action within one year of the beginning of the planning
period. To address this requirement, the City could amend an existing zoning district,
establish a new zoning district or an overlay zone for an existing zoning district. While
the element includes zones RM, RMH and RH as areas where emergency shelters are
allowed by-right or with a CUP depending on the number of persons served (page IV-4),
the element must identify zones where emergency shelters will be allowed by-right
regardless of size and provide information to demonstrate the appropriateness of the
zone to accommodate the City's identified need for emergency shelters. For example,
the zone must pravide sufficient opportunities for at least one new emergency shetter in
the planning period and consider opportunities available in suitable locations near
services and facilities. In addition, the element must demonstrate that existing or
proposed permit processing, development, and management standards encourage and
facilitate the development of, or conversion to, emergency shelters. A memo on SB 2
describing the new requirements is available on the Department's website at
http://www.hcd.ca.qov/hpd/sb2 memo050708.pdf.

Transitional and Supportive Housing: The element states transitional and supportive
housing of seven or more persons requires a CUP (page IV-4). Pursuant to SB 2,
transitional and supportive housing must be treated as residential use and subject to the
same permitting processes as other housing in the subject zone (e.g., multifamily
housing, group homes, etc.) without undue special regulatory requirements. The
element must be revised to describe zones which allow these uses pursuant to State
law and include any necessary program actions to allow for these uses in the identified
zones within the planning period.
3. Analyze potential and actual governmental consfraints upon the maintenance,
improvement, and developmenf of housing for all income levels, including land use
confrols, building codes and their enforcement, sife improvements, fees and ofher
exactions required of developers, and local processing and permit procedures. The
analysis shall also demonstrate local efforts to remove governmental constraints that
hinder the locality from meetrng its share of the regional housing need in accordance
with Section 65584 (Section 65583(a)(5)).
Land Use and Controls: While the element lists zoning and development standards
(page IV-4), it should also analyze these standards for their impact on the supply and
affordability of housing, especially multifamily housing. For example, the element
should evaluate the cumulative effect of development standards such as height limits,
lot coverage, minimum floor areas, parking requirements, performance standards and
minimum floor areas on the ability to achieve maximum permitted densities and on the
supply and affordability of housing. In addition, the element should evaluate the impact
of gara�ge requirements for multifamily housing. Refer to the sample analysis in the
Building 8locks' website at http://www.hcd.ca.qov/hpd/housinq element2/CON landuse.php.
Fees and Exaction: While the element provides "Planning and Development Fees"
(Table IV-6), listing some planning costs, a more detailed analysis is necessary to
evaluate the impact of the City's fees. This analysis should identify total typical fees
(planning and impact) for both single- and multi-family housing. For additional
information, please refer to the sample analysis in the Building Blocks'section on Fees
and Exactions at http://www.hcd.ca.qov/hpd/housing element2/CON landuse.php.
Permit Processing and Procedures: The element states a development review
application is required for all developments with four or more units (page IV-10), but
provides no information on the process. The element shauld include a detailed analysis
of the development review guidelines and process, including better identifying
requirements and approval procedures and analyzing the impact of the guidelines and
process on housing costs and approval certainty. The analysis should also include
typical approval times for single- and multi-family projects. Based on the outcomes of
this analysis, the element may need to add pragrams to address the guidelines as a
constraint. For additional information, refer to the sample analysis in the Building
Blocks' section on Permit Processing and Procedures at
http://www.hcd.ca.qov/hpd/housinq element2/CON permits.php.

On/Off-Site Improvements: The element did not address this statutory requirement.
The element must be revised to describe and analyze specific on- and off-site
improvements for residential development such as requirements for street widths,
sidewalks, water and sewer connections and circulation improvements required for
residential developments and assess their impact on the cost and supply of housing.
Constraints on Persons with Disabilities: While the element states Diamond Bar
adopted the 2007 building code in which incorporate accessibility standards contained
in Title 24 and a streamline review of design modification to improve accessibility, it
must include a detailed analysis of zoning, development standards and approval
procedures for the development of housing for persons with disabilities and include
programs as appropriate to address any identified constraints. For example, among
other things, the element should identify and analyze the following:
• Any definition of family in the zoning code.
• Reasonable accommodation ordinance, if so describe the process.
• Any siting or concentration requirements for residential care facilities.
Please refer to the Building Blocks'section on Constraints for Persons with Disabilities
at http://www.hcd.ca.qov/hpd/housing element/screen27 sb520.pdf.
,
4. Analyze fhe opportunities for energy conservation with respect to residential
developmenf (Section 65583(a)(8)).
The element includes a general description of Title 24 requirements and states as new
infill development and rehabifitation activities occur the City could directly affect energy
use within its jurisdiction (page III-6), but includes no information on the City's efforts to
address energy conservation goals. Given the importance of promoting strategies to
address climate change and energy conservation, the City's analysis could facilitate
adoption of housing and land-use policies and programs in the housing element that
meet housing and conservation objectives. Planning to maximize energy efficiency and
the incorporation of energy conservation and green building features can contribute to
reduced housing costs for homeowners and renters. For example, the element could
include incentives to encourage green building techniques and materials in new and
resale homes, promote energy audits and participation in utility programs, and facilitate
energy conserving retrofits upon resale of homes. Additional information on potential
policies and programs to address energy conservation are available in the Building
Blocks' website at http://www.hcd.ca.qov/hpd/housinq element2/SIA conservation.php.
5. Analyze any special housing needs, such as those of the handicapped, elderly, large
families, farmworkers, families with female heads of households, and families and
person in need of emergency shelter (Section 65583(a)(7)).
The identification and analysis of special needs should be expanded beyond the basic
household and individual counts and general description of the various groups. The
analysis must discuss the nature of the special housing need of each group in Diamond
Bar as well as housing types, zoning and available resources. A thorough analysis will
help identify those with the most serious housing needs to develop and prioritize
responsive programs.
<
- 5 -
• The element indicates Diamond Bar has 1,373 female households with a significant
number living below the paverty level. The City should include analysis of housing
needs and opportunities for this group.
s The element states 15 to 17 percent of households in Diamond Bars are large
families (pages 11-20). The element should include an analysis of available housing
to meet the needs of large families.
In addition, while the element estimates the total homeless within San Gabriel Valley
Planning Service Area (SPA) at 9,942 persons, the element must include an estimate of
the proportion of those persons within the City limits. To assess the degree of unmet
homeless needs, inciuding the extent of need for emergency shelters, the estimate must
consider both seasonal and year round need and should consider a variety of data
sources. The element could utilize estimates from local afficials, survey the identified
service providers or consult with San Gabriel Valley SPA.
B. Housinci Proqrams
1. Include a program which sets forth a five-year schedule of actions the local governmenf
is undertaking or intends to undertake fo implement the policies and achieve the goals
and objectives of fhe housing element through the administration of land-use and
deve�opmenf controls, provision of regulatory concessions and incentives, and the
utilizafion of appropriate federal and state financing and subsidy programs when
available. The program shal! include an identification of the agencies and officials
responsible for the implementation of fhe various actions (Section 65583(c)).
To fully address the program requirements of Government Code Section 65583(c)(1-6),
and in order for the City's proposed housing development and assistance strategies to
be effective during the planning period, all programs and corresponding actions should
demonstrate the City's commitment to implementation and include: (1} definitive
implementation timelines; (2) identification of responsible agencies and officials and
funding; (3) quantified objectives where appropriate. Programs to be revised and
strengthened include, but are not limited to the fa{lowing:
� Program 1: Describe the funds available for rehabilitation and the City's role in
acquiring funds. How many residents will Diamond Bar refer to the County's
rehabilitation loan program? How many units are estimated to be rehabilitated per
year? How will the City market the availability of funds for this program?
• Program 3: How will the City advertise the County's single-family home
rehabilitation program? Quantify number of units to be rehabilitated annually.
• Program 6: Haw will the Gity support preservation of its two mobilehome parks?
- 6 -
• Program 8: By what date will the City contact land owners with information
regarding Diamond Bar's interest in developing senior and workforce housing? How
will the City market the programs? How will the City assist landowners to develop
the property? What regulatory concessions and financial assistance will the City
provide to encourage and facilitate development of senior and workforce housing?
Please refer to the Building Blocks section on Program Requirements at
http://www.hcd.ca.qov/hpd/housing element2/PRO home.php.
2. Identify adequate sifes which will be made available �hrough appropriafe zoning and
development standards and with public services and facilities needed to facilitate and
encourage the development of a variefy of types of housing for aIl income levels,
includ+ng rental housing, factory-built housing, mobilehomes, and emergency shelters
and transitional housing. Where the inventory of sites, pursuant to paragraph (3) of
subdivision (a), does not identify adequate sites to accommodate the need for groups of
, all household income levels pursuant to Section 65584, the program shall provide for
sufficient sites with zoning that permits owner-occupied and rental multifamily residentia!
use by right, including density and development standards that could accommodate and
facilitate the feasibility of housing for very low- and low-income households
(Section 65583(c)(1)).
As noted in finding A3, the element identifies a significant shortfall of sites, particularly
sites for lower-income households. For your information, where the inventory does not
identify adequate sites pursuant to Government Code Sections 65583(a)(3) and
65583.2, the element must provide a program to identify sites in accordance with
subdivision (h) of 65583.2 for 100 percent of the remaining lower-income housing need
with sites zoned to permit owner-occupied and rental multifamily uses by-right during
the planning period.
While the element includes Program 9 committing the City to review vacant and
underutilized parcels and identify adequate sites that are suitable for higher density
development, the program must be revised to commit the City to rezoning a specific
number of acres to accommodate the identified shortfall of sites by a date certain.
These sites shall be zoned with minimum density and development standards that
permit at least 16 units per site at a density of at least 20 units per acre. Also, at least
50 percent of the remaining need must be planned on sites that exclusively allow
residential uses. In addition, the element should be revised as follows:
• If the City is relying on mixed-use in Planning Areas and Specific Plans, the element
should indicate how the City will encourage and facilitate�development of housing in
those areas.
• If the City is dependent on the redevelopment of underutilized, non-vacant sites and
development of second units to address the identified shortfall, the element should
detail how the City will encourage such development by detailing any existing or
planned financial assistance, regulatory concessions or incentives.

Please note, the City must comply with recent statutory changes to State law
(Chapter 633, Statutes of 2007 [SB 2]) requiring, among other things, the identification
of at least one zone(s) where emergency shelters are permitted without a CUP or other
discretionary action within one year of the beginning of the planning period. To address
this requirement, the City couid amend an existing zoning district, establish a new
zoning district or overlay zone for an existing zoning district. The zone must provide
sufficient oppartunities for at least one new emergency shelter in the planning period,
including opportunities available in suitable locations near services and facilities. In
addition, the element must demonstrate that existing or proposed permit processing,
develapment, and management standards encourage and facilitate the development of,
or conversion to, emergency shelters. A technical assistance paper describing the new
I'2qUlf@171@IItS IS aVallafJle at http://www.hcd.ca.qov/hpd/housinq element2/SB2memo071708 final.pdf,
3. The housing element shall contain programs which "assist in the development of
adequate housirrg to meet the needs of extremely low-, low- and moderate-income
households (Section 65583(c)(2)).
In accordance with Chapter 891, Statutes of 2006, the element must include programs
to assist in the development af extremely low-income households. Programs should be
modified or added to specifically assist in the development of a variety of housing types
to meet the needs of extremely low-income households. In addition:
The element does nat include specific actions to assist in the development of a mix of
housing types, including rental multifamily, for extremely low-, very low-, low- and
moderate-income households, and special housing need households. The element
should include programs to address identified housing needs such as overcrowding and
the need for units with three or more bedrooms. Actions could include assistance with
site identification and entitlement processing, fee waivers and deferrals, modifying
development standards and granting concessions and incentives for projects that
provide housing for fower-income households.
The element indicates 11 percent of renters live in overcrowded households. The City
should include program actions to facilitate or assist in the development of affordable
multifamily rental units, particularly units three or more bedrooms. Actions could include
assistance with site identification and entitlement processing, fee waivers and deferrals,
modifying development standards and granting concessions and incentives for projects
that provide housing for lower-income househofds. Furthermore, given the lack of
available multifamily rental housing, and overcrowding among renter households, the
City should consider strengthening or adding programs to specifically encourage and
facilitate all types of multifamily rental housing.

C. Public Participation
Local governments shall make a diligent etfort to achieve public participation of al!
economic segmenfs of the community in fhe development of tf►e housing element, and the
elemenf shall describe this efforf (Section 65583(c)(7)).
Additional information is needed to demonstrate how the City has or w'ill make a diligent
effort to achieve the involvement all economic segments of the community through the
adoption process. While the element states study sessions were conducted in the
community, the element should also describe in more detail who actually attended the
study sessions, how many study groups actually occurred and the nature of the input from
,' the community and how the information was used in the housing element. The element
should be revised to specificallv describe the City's efforts to circulate the housing element
among low- and moderate-income households and organizations that represent them and
individuals and to involve such groups and persons in the development of the element.
In addition, the City must make a committed effort to include residents and community
stakeholders during the revision and adoption of the element in the months to come,
including making the draft document available to the public for review and comment.

RE: Review of the City of Diamond Bar's Revised Draft Housing Element
Thank you for submitting Diamond Bar's revised draft housing element received for
review on June 1, 2009 along with revisions received on July 28, 2009. The Department
is required to review draft housing elements and report the findings to the locality
� pursuant to Government Code Section 65585(b). Telephone conversations with
Mr. John Douglas, the City's consultant, facilitated the review.
The revised draft element addresses many statutory requirements described in the
Department's October 21, 2008 review; however, revisions will be necessary to comply
with State housing element law (Article 10.6 of the Government Code). In particular, the
element must still demonstrate the suitability of non-vacant sites included in the site
inventory to accommodate Diamond Bar's identified shortfall to accommodate its regional
housing need for lower-income households. The enclosed Appendix describes these and
other revisions needed to comply with State housing element law.
The Department is committed to assist Diamond Bar in addressing all statutory
requirements of housing element law. If you have any cjuesti�ns or ne�� additional
technical assistance, please contact James Johnson, of our staff, at (916) 323-7271.

CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
The following changes would bring Diamond Bar's housing element into compliance with
Article 10.6 of the Government Code. Accompanying each recommended change, we cite the
supporting section of the Government Code.
Housing element technical assistance information is available on the Department's website at
www.hcd.ca.qov/hpd. Refer to the Division of Housing Policy Development and the section
pertaining to State Housing Planning. Among other resources, the Housing Element section
contains the Department's latest technical assistance tool Building Blocks for Effective Housing
Elemenfs (Building Blocks) available at www.hcd.ca.qov/hpd/housing element2/index.php, the
Government Code addressing State housing element law and other resources.
A. Housing Needs, Resources, and Constraints
1. Include an inventory of land suitable for residential development, including vacant sites
and sites having fhe potential for redevelopment, and an analysis of the relationship of
zoning and public facilities and services fo these sites (Section 65583(a)(3)). The
inventory of land suitable for residential development sha11 be used to identify sites that
can be developed for housrng within the planning periad (Section 65583.2).
Appendix B was revised to include an identification of sites with potential for rezoning to
accommodate the City's identified shortfall of sites to accommodate its remaining
regional need of 466 units affordable to lower-income households. However, the
revisions do not demonstrate the suitability of these sites as follows:
Sites Inventory: Table B-1 was revised to include parcel-specific information for the
Tres Hermanos and LDS Church site, both identified as sites for potential rezoning to
accommodate the City's remaining lower-income need. However, parcel-specific
information for the K-Mar� site is not included. The element must include parcel numbers
or unique reference, parcel sizes, zoning, general plan designation, a description of
existing uses for and a calculation of the realistic capacity for the site.
Suitability of Sites Identified for Potential Rezoninq: Of the sites included in the narrative
description (pages B-1 and B-2), the K-Mart, Tres Hermanos and LDS Church sites
appear to have the greatest potential for redevelopment; however, the element must
demanstrate the suitability of these sites as follows:
K-Mart Site: The element must include specific information on the development potential
considering the extent existing uses may constitute an impediment to additional
residential development. The element cauld also consider development trends, market
conditions and interest from developers/owners. For example:
• What portion of the site is being utilized by the existing K-Mart?
a What are the existing uses on the remainder of the parcel?
• Any discontinuing or vacated uses an the site?
e The element indicates the owner of the site has expressed interest in a reuse plan
with a residential component. Would the proposed rezone encompass the entire site
or a portion of the site (i.e., existing parking lot or area comprised of smaller shops)?
� _ . .,._ :
. 2 -
Tres Hermanos Site: The element indicates 720 acres of this 2600 acre area owned by
the City of Industry's Urban Development Agency are located within the City of Diamond
Bar's corporate limits. The element, however, should discuss any plans the City of
Industry has for the site, including any offers to sell or buy the land and the role the Tres
Hermanos Conservation Authority will play in the development of the site. In addition,
the element indicates a specific plan will be prepared for the entire area but does not
indicate the proposed timeline for development of the specific plan. To rely on these
sites to address a portion of the City's need for lower-income households, the element
must account for and analyze how these factors may impact the availability of the site or
a portion of the site and demonstrate development potential within the planning period.
LDS Church Site: The element indicates the 4.5 acre site is currently developed with an
existing church facility with approximately two acres of vacant land available on the rear
portion of the site. No information, however, is provided on the Church's interest in
selling or developing the site with residential uses and whether the site can realistically
p�ovidz ����lapmer�t p�t�ntial withi� the plannin,g peric�.
In addition to information on the suitability and availability of these sites, the element
must describe any planned financial or development incentives the City will provide,
such as expedited permit processing, fee waivers or deferrals to encourage the
development of housing affordable to lower-income households in the redevelopment of
the sites.
Zoning for a Variety of Housinq Types (Emerpencv Shelters): The element now includes
Program 12 to revise the City's zoning ordinance to allow emergency shelters "by right
; within the RM (Residential Medium zone)." While the inventory identifies no vacant or
underutilized parcels available within this zone, the element appears to rely on four
currently operating church sites, ranging in size from 3.5 to 7 acres in size. It is unclear,
however, how these sites were determined to be appropriate to demonstrate capacity to
accommodate at least one emergency shelter during the planning period as required
pursuant to Chapter 633, Statutes 2008 (SB 2). For example, the element appears to
limit oppartunities for emergency shelters to existing church sites but provides no
information on whether the church has agreed or expressed interest in providing
shelters. In addition, given the lack of sites identified within the zone, the element must
describe and evaluate the potential on underutilized sites for non-church operators of
emergency shelters.
While the element indicates the City may identify an alternative zone better suited to
accommodate emergency shelters without discretionary action, it should specifically
commit to identifying an appropriate zone and demonstrate any other zones under
consideration will have sufficient opportunities for at least one new permanent
emergency shelter in the planning period to provide sufficient capacity to accommodate
the City's identified need.

B. Hausir�g Programs
1. Identify adequate sites which wi11 be made available through appropriate zoning and
development standards and with public services and facilities needed fo facilitafe and
encourage the development of a variety of types of housing for a1l income levels,
including rental housing, factory-built housing, mobi/ehomes, and emergency shelters
and fransitional housing. Where the inventory of sites, pursuant to paragraph (3) of
subdivision (a), does not identify adequate sites to accommodate fhe need for groups of
all household income levels pursuant to Section 65584, fhe program shall provide for
sufficient sites with zoning that permits owner-occupied and rental multifamily residential
use by right, �ncluding density and deve�opmenf standards that could accommodate and
facilitate the feasibility of housing for very low- and low-income households
(Section 65583(c)(1)).
As noted in finding A1, the element continues to lack a complete sites inventory and
analysis. Therefore, the �dequacy of sites has not been �stablished. Based on tre
results of a complete sites inventory and analysis, the City may need to add or
strengthen programs to address any shortFall of sites of residential capacity. In addition,
the element shouid be revised as follows:
Program 9 — Land-Use and Zoninq: The element was revised to include Program 9 to
rezone at least 15.6 acres pursuant to Government Code Section 65583.2(h) to
accommodate the identified shortfall of 466 units affordable to lower-income households.
The Program, however, must specifically reference the sites the City is committing to
rezone (a minimum of 15.6 acres) by including a reference to Table B-2 and the parcel
numbers of potential rezone sites. In addition, the element must demonstrate sufficient
acreage will be rezoned to demonstrate realistic capacity of at least 466 units. For
example, the Program assumes all 15.6 acres will be developed with residential uses at
a minimum of 30 units per acre. However, given these sites allow for mixed-uses, the
element must be revised to consider the potential development of uses other than
residential for non-residentially zoned sites (i.e., K-Mart site). The element may require
revisions to commit to rezone additional acres to account for this potential.
Proqram 10 — Mixed-Use Development: The Program should be revised to include a
specific implementation timeline for actions (page V-9). This is particularly important as
the City is purposing to address a pertion of its remainin� need for lo�r�er-income
households on the development potential of the Tres Hermanos site and as such, the
site should be zoned and available for development by mid-planning period. If
determined it is not realistic to assume development of this site within the planning
period, the element should be revised to identify alternative sites suitable to
accommodate the City's remaining need. The City must also include a program to
monitor and report on the status of the site.
2. The housing element shall contain programs which "address, and where appropriate and
legally possible, remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement,
and development of housing" (Secfion 65583(c)(3)).
Proqram 14 —Affordab�e Housing lncentives/Density Bonus: The Program should be
revised to specifically commit to removing the garage requirement and allowing carports
for mu{tifamily deuelopments affordable to fower-income hauseholds.

RE: Review of the City of Diamond Bar's Revised Draft Housing Element w �
Thank you for submitting Diamond Bar's revised draft housing elsment received for
review on May 24, 2010. The Department is required to review draft housing elements
and report the findings to the locality pursuant to Government Code Section 65585(b). A
telephone conversation with you and Mr. Brad Wohlenberg, City Attorney, Ms. Raef Lee,
Senior Planner, and Mr. John Douglas, the City's consultant, facilitated the review.
The revised draft element addresses some of the statutory requirements described in the
Department's August 4, 2009 review; however, revisions will be necessary to comply
with State housing element law (Article 10.6 of the Government Code). In particular, the
element must still demonstrate the potential and suitability of non-vacant sites included in
the site inventory to accommodate Diamond Bar's identified shortfall of 466 units to
accommodate its regional housing need for lower-income households as follows:
1. Include an inventory of land suitable for residential development, including vacant
sifes and sites having the potential for redevelopment, and an analysis of the
relationship of zoning and public facilities and services to these sites
(Section 65583(a)(3)). The inventory of land suitable for residential development
shal!be useu'to identify sites that can be developed ior housiny within the plannii7g
period (Secfion 65583.2).
Candidate Rezone Sites (Appendix B2): While the element includes programs to
address the identified shortFall of adequate sites, pursuant to Section 65583(c)(B), it
must include an analysis of the suitability and availability of candidate sites for
rezoning with all components specified in Section 65583.2. For example, the listing
of candidate sites (Table B-2) must include a parcel-specific residential capacity
estimate and a description of existing uses sufficient to demonstrate the potential for
redevelopment and evaluate the extent to which existing uses may impede additional
residential development. Please note, residential capacity estimates for mixed-use
sites must be revised to consider the potential development of non-residential u5es
(e.g., K-Mart site) to account for the potential that not all of non-vacant uses may
redevelop in the planning period. The element may require revisions to commit to
rezone additional acres to account for this potentiaL
Mr. Greg Gubman
Page 2
In addition, to demonstrate the suitability of candidate rezone sites the e{ement
continues to require revision as folfows:
� K-Mart Site: While the element provides a very general description of existing uses
on non-vacant and underutilized parcels in Table B-2 (e.g., retail, commercial, office,
etc.) it must demonstrate the potential for redevelopment and evaluate the extent to
which existing uses may impede residential development (sample inventory and
analysis to be sent under separate cover). For example, the element indicates 13
commercial spaces are vacant; however, it is unclear how this relates to the
individual underutilized percentage calculations included in Table B-2. Based on
conversations with City staff, it is the Department's understanding the current
owner plans ta demolish and redevelop the entire 20-acre site through a specific
plan �ro�ess. The City further stated the current o�erating Kmart is an
underperforming store and has had little investment in the property. The current
property owner has had conversations with K-Mart regarding a lease buyout. The
element should include this information and any additional information to support
the suitability and redevelopment estimates for this site. Please refer to the
Department's August 4, 2009 review (see link on next page) for necessary
information to include as part of this analysis.
� Tres Hermanos Site: If the City continues to rely on the 720-acre Tres Hermanos
site as a candidate site for rezoning to meet a portion of the City's remaining need
for lower-income households, the element must be revised to demonstrate the
potential of sites to be available during the planning period. While a Request for
Proposal was distributed in 2006 for the development of a specific plan for the
site, based on conversation with staff, no further action occurred. The element
must demonstrate parcels within theTres Hermanos site will be available for
development early enough in the planning period to accommodate the remaining
regional need for lower-income households. Please note, "available for
development" means the specific plan is adopted and zoning is in place to allow
higher density and/or mixed-use development early enough in planning period to
allow for development. If the City is relying on capacity within Tres Hermanos to
accommodate its identified shortfafl, the elemen� must specifically detail where the
City is in the process of developing a specific plan for this area and include a
timeline for its completion and otherwise demonstrate consistency with the
adequate sites program requirements of Government Code Section 65583.2(h)
and (i).
2. ldentify adequate sites which will be made available through appropriate zoning and
development standards and with public services and facilifies needed to facilitate and
encourage the developmenf of a variety of types of housing for all income levels.
Where the inventory of sites, pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (a), does not
identify adequate sites to accommodate the need for groups of all household income
levels pursuant to Sec�ion 65584, the program shall provide for sufficient sites with
zoning that permits owner-occupied and rental multifamily residential use by rrght,
including densify and developmenf standards that could accommodate and facilitate
the feasibility of housing for very low- and low-incon�e households
(Secfion 65583(c')(1)).
Mr. Greg Gubman
Page 3
As noted above, the element does not include a complete site analysis and the
adequacy of sites and zoning were not established. Based on the results of a
complete sites inventory and analysis, the City may need to add or revise programs
to address a shortfall of sites or zoning available to encourage a variety of housing
types. At a minimum, the element should be revised as follows:
Rezone Proqram for Adequate Sites Program 9 indicates the City will rezone a
minimum of 15.6 acres to a "higher density." While the program indicates the
rezoned sites will have established minimum densities of 20 units per acre, the
element must identify the specific zoning designation which will be applied to the
parcels. In addition, the program should commit to permit multifamily uses by-right,
without a conditional use permit, planned development permit or other discretionary
action and i:omply with thE ozher adequate sites requirements pursuant to
Government Code Section 65583.2. Please also note, candidate sites for rezoning �
must be appropriately sized to accommodate at least 16 units. Refer to the
suggested revisions to Program 9 (to be sent under separate cover).
Redevelopment of Underutilized Sites: Program 13 indicates the City "may" include
incentives to encourage and facilitate redevelopment of underutilized sites. As the
element is reliant on the redevelopment of the K-Mart site to accommodate its
identified shortfall, it must commit to specific actions the City will take to encourage
and facilitate redevelopment of the site. Sample program language as well as a
listing of various incentives the City could consider will be.sent under separate cover.
Once the element has been revised to adequately address these requirements, it will
comply with State housing element law. The Department is committed to assist
� Diamond Bar in addressing all statutory requirements of housing element law and is
available to schedule a site visit in Diamond Bar at your convenience. if you have any
questions or to schedule a site visit, please contact James Johnson, of our staff, at
(916) 323-7271.

�Jear Mr. GG�m�n:
; RE: Review of the City of Diamond Bar's Revised Draft Housing Element
Thank you for submitting Diamond Bar's revised draft housing element received for review
on November 19, 2010 and revisions received January 13, 2011. The Department is
required to review draft housing elements and report the findings to the locality pursuant to
Government Code Section 65585(b). A telephone conversation with you facilitated the
' review.
The revised draft element addresses the statutory requirements described in the
Department's July 22, 2010 review. The Department's finding of adequate sites is based
on the City's commitment to implement Program 9 to rezone a minimum of 15.6 acres of
` sites on Table B-2 to a density of 30 units per acre to accommodate the City's remaining
need of 466 units affordable to lower-income households. These sites will permit owner-
occupied and rental multifamily development by-right, without a conditional use permit,
plan unit development or any discretionary action, with a minimum of 16 units per site and
a minimum density of 20 units per acre, consistent with Government Code Section
65583.2{h) and (i). In addition, Program 8 commits Diamond Bar to support the
development of senior and workforce housing by providing incentives such as: reduced
development fees, flexible development standards and direct financial assistance when
available.
Please be aware, Government Code Section 65863 requires local governments to ensure
the inventory of sites or any site programs accommodate the regional housing need
throughout the planning period of the element. In addition, no local government action
shall reduce, require or permit the reduction of, the residential density or allow
development at a "lower residential density" for any parcel identified in the site inventory
unless the local government makes written findings the reduction is consistent with the
adopted General Plan, and the remaining sites identified in the element are appropriatelv_
zoned and adequate to accommodate the jurisdiction's share of the regional housing
need: As defined by statute, "A lawer residential density" refers to allowing fewer units on
the site than were projected within the sites inventory of the housing element. The
Department recommends the City consider establishing a process to monitor sites to
facilitate compliance with this requirement.

City of Diamond Bar Housing Element IV. Constraints
propose alternative densities thc�t are sufficient to facilitate affordable housing based on
local experience and circumstances. Since the City does not currently allow
development at the defauit density of 30 units/acre, the Housing Action Plan (Chapter V)
contains Program 9 to amend zoning regulations and provide additional sites at densities
sufficient to facilitate the development of lower-income units. One option would be to
create an affordable housing overlay zone that allows higher densities for projects that
provide units affordable to low- or moderate-income households. In addition to allowing
the default density of 30 units per acre, this program will review development standards
such as height limit and off-street parking requirements to ensure that these regulations
encourage and facilitate development of lower-income housing. Although appropriate
zoning regulations are necessary for affordable housing to be feasible, it should be
recognized that public subsidies are also necessary to reduce costs to the level that
lower-income households can afford.
Special Needs Housing
Persons with special needs include those in residential care facilities, persons with
disqbilities, the elderly, farm workers, persons needing emergency shelter or transitional
living arrangements, and single room occupancy units. The City's provisions for these
housing types are discussed below.
Residentiol Care Facilities
Residential care facilities refer to any family home, group home, or rehabilitation facility
that provides non-medical care to persons in need of personal services, protection,
supervision, assistance, guidance, or training essential for daily living. The Development
Code explicitly references Residential Care Homes (Secfion 22.80.020). In accordance
with state law, residential care homes that serve six or fewer persons are permitted by-
right in all residential districts with only a ministerial zoning clearance required. Residential
care homes serving more than six persons are permitted by conditional use permit in the
RM, RMH, and RH Districts. There is no definition of "family" nor are there any separation
requirements for residential care facilities in the Development Code. These provisions are
consistent with state law and do not pose a significant constraint on the establishment of
such facilities.
Housing for Persons with Disabilities
Both the federal Fair Housing Act and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act
impose an affirmative duty on local governments to make reasonable accommodations
(i.e. modifications or exceptions) in their zoning laws and other land use regulations when
� such accommodations may be necessary to afford disabled persons an equal
opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling. The Building Codes adopted by the City of
Diamond Bar incorporate accessibility standards contained in Title 24 of the California
Administrative Code. For example, apdrtment complexes of three or more units and
condominium complexes of four or more units must be designed to accessibility
standards. �
IV-5 Revised Draft—November 2010
4 �
City of Diamond Bar Housing Element IV. Constraints
The City has a�opied by reference the 2007 California Building Code ln which Chapter
1 1, Section 1 107A.5-E provides a streamlined procedure for review of design
modifications to improve accessibility for persons with disabilities.
Compliance v��ith buiidinr� codes and the ADA may increase the cost of housing
production and can �Iso impact the viability of rehabilitation of older properties required
to be brought up to current code standards. However, these regulations provide
minimum stana�rds tnai must be complied with in order to ensure the development of
safe anc� accessible housin�.
Senate Bill 520 of 2001 requires cities to make reasonable accommodation in housing for
persons with disabilities. Program 17 in the Action Plan commits the City to adopting
procedures for reviewing and approving requests for reasonable accommodation for
persons with disabilities.
Farm VVc�rker �lousing
As discusse� in Chapter II. Housing Needs Assessment, the City of Diamond Bar does not
have major agricultural areas and has no significant need for permanent on-site farm
worker housing. The City's overall efiorts io provide and maintain afiordable housing
opportuniiies will help to support the few seasonal farm workers that may choose to
reside in the City.
Housing for the Elderly
Senior housing projects are a permitted use in all residential Districts. A density bonus is
also permitted for the construciion of senior housing pursuant to Govemment Code
�§659 1 5-659 1 8. The zoning ordinance is not considered to be a constraint to the
developmeni of senior housing because the regulations are the same as for other
residential uses in the same districts.
Emergency Shelters and Transitionol/Supporfive Housing
Emergency shelters are facilities that provide a safe qlternative to the streets either in a
shelter facility, or through the use of motel vouchers. Emergency shelter is short-term and
usually for 3G days or less. Transitional and supportive housing is longer-term, typically up
to two years. Transitional and supportive housing generally requires that the resident
participate in a structured program to work toward establisf�ed goals so that they can
move on to permanent housing and may include supportive services such as counseling.
SB 2 of 2007 strengthened the pfanning requirements for emergency shelters and
transitional/supportive housing. This bill requires jurisdictions to evaluate their need for
shelters compared to available fc�cilities to address the need. If existing shelter facilities
are not suificieni to accommodate the need, jurisdictions must designate at least one
zone where year-round shelters can be accommodated, There are currently no
emergency shelters located in the City, However, there are no known homeless persons
living in Diamonc� Bar, therefore no need for shelters presently exists.
IV-6 Revised Draft-November 2010
� I , � 1 _
. i . r '
\ �
City of Diamond Bar Housing Element IV. Constraints
The Development Code does not presently contain an explicit definition or development
standards for emergency shelters. Program 12 includes a commitment to amend the
� Development Code to designate at least one zone where emergency shelters are
allowed by-right subject to objective development standards.
The San Gabriel Vailey Council of Governments recentiy initiated a study to assess the
needs of the homeless and develop a coordinated strategy to address those needs. As a
member jurisdiction, Diamond Bar is cooperating in this study and is committed to a fair-
share approach to providing the necessary services and facilities for the homeless
persons and families identified in the community.
SB 2 also requires that transitional and supportive housing be considered a residential use
that is subject only to the same requirements and procedures as other residential uses of
the same type in the same zone. There is presently no definition of transitional or
supportive housing in the Development Code. Program 12 includes a provision to amend
the Code with regard to transitional and supporfive housing in compliance with SB 2.
Single Room Occupancy
Single room occupancy facilities are small studio-type units and would be allowed by
right in the RH District, provided all zoning standards can be met. Development standards
for these uses are no more restrictive than for other uses allowed in these districts.
Off-Street Parking Requirements
The City's parking requirements for residential uses vary by residentia� type. Single-family
dwellings and duplex housing require two parking spaces per unit in a garage. Mobile
homes require two parking spaces plus guest parking. Studio units require one space for
each unit in a garage, plus guest parking. Multi-family dwellings, condos, and other
attached dwellings are required to have two spaces in a garage for each unit plus 0.5
space for each bedroom over two, and guest parking. Second units are required to
have one space in addition to that required for the single-family unit. Senior housing

facilities are required to have 0.5 space for each residential unit, pius one space for each
four units for guests and employees. Extended care facilities are required to provide one
space for each three beds the facility is licensed to accommodate. These parking
requirements are summarized in Table IV-4.
The required parking is not excessive and is not cansidered fo be a constraint on the
production of affordable housing. However, in order to facilitate affordable housing
production, Program 14 in the Housing Plan includes a provision to reduce the parking
requirement and allow parking for lower-income apartments to be provided in carports
rather than garages.

Second Units
In response to state-mandated requirements and local needs, the City of Diamond Bar
allows for the development of accessory or second dwelling units by right in the RR and
RL Districts. Second units are allowed on lots which have a minimum of 10,000 gross
square r"eet and q minimum buildable pad area of 8,000 square feet, a minimum width
of 50 feet and a ininimum depth of 100 feet. A second unit shall not exceed 600 gross
square feet in iloor area if the parcel is between 10,000 and 20,000 square feet and shall
not exceed 1,200 square feet in gross floor area if the parcel is over 20,000 gross square
feet with a minimum building pad area of 10,000 square feet. Second units must contain
sepqrate kitchen and bathroom facilities and have a separate entrance from the
primary residence. in addition, second units may not contain more than two bedrooms.
Second uniis serve to augment resources for senior housing, or other low- and moderate-
income segments of ihe population. The development standards are reasonable to
ensure neighborhood compatibility, and do not present an unreasonable constraint to
development.
Densifiy Bonus
Under Government Code Section 65915-65918, a density increase of up to 35�0 over the
otherwise maximum allowable residential density under the Municipal Code is available
to developers who ogree to construct housing developments with units affordable to
low- or mode��ate-income househoids. A senior housing development is eligible for a 20%
density bonus if it includes at least 35 dwelling units, and the applicant seeks a density
bonus. The City has not revised the Development Code to reflect the provisions of SB
IV-8 Revised Drait—November 2010
, . .
City of Diamond Bar Housing Element IV. Constraints
1818, however any application for density bonus would be processed in accordance
with current state law. Housing Action Plan (Chapter V) contains Program 12 to consider
appropriate changes to the Development Code to address the current provisions of
state law.
Mobile Homes/Manufactured Housing
There is often an economy of scale in manufacturing homes in a plant rather than on
site, thereby reducing cost. State law precludes local governments from prohibiting the
installation of mobile homes on permanent foundations on single-family lots. It also
declares a mobile home park to be a permitted land use on any land planned and
zoned for residential use, and prohibits requiring the average density in a new mobile
hame park to be less than that permitted by the Municipal Code.
In the City of Diamond Bar, manufactured housing is allowed in all residential zones as a
permitted use provided the installation complies with the site development standards for
the applicable zoning district. Mobile home parks are allowed as conditional use within
ail residential districts. There are two mobile home parks in Diamond Bar, both located in �
the western portion of the City: Diamond Bar Estates and Walnut Creek Estates.
Condominium Conversions
In order to reduce the impacts of condominium conversions on residents of rental
housing, some of which provides housing for low- and moderate-income persons, the
City's Municipal Code requires that iri addition to complying with all of the regulations
and noticing requirements of the Subdivision Map Act for condo conversions, the
applicant must propose a relocation assistance program that will assist tenants displaced
through the conversion in relocating to equivalent or better housing, assess the vacancy
rate in multi-family housing within the City, and provide a report to all tenants of the
subject property at least three days prior to the hearing.
When a condo conversion is permitted, the increase in the supply of less expensive for-
sale units helps to compensate for the loss of rental units. The ordinance to regulate
condominium conversions is reasonable to preserve rental housing opportunities, and does
not present an unreasonable constraint on the production of ownership housing.
Building Codes
State law prohibits the imposition of building standards that are not necessitated by local
geographic, climatic or topographic conditions and requires that local governments
making changes or modifications in building standards must report such changes to the
Department of Housing and Community Development and file an expressed finding that
the change is needed.
The City's building codes are based upon the California Building, Plumbing, Mechanical
,
and Electrical Codes. These are considered to be the minimum necessary to protect the
public's health, safety and welfare. No additional regulations have been imposed by the
City that would unnecessarily add to housing costs.

2. Development Processing Procedures
Residential Permit Processing
State Plannina and Zoning Law provides permit processing requirements for residential
development. 1�ithin the framework of state requirements, the City has structured its
develo�men� review process in order to minimize the time required to obtain permits
while ensuring that projects receive careful review. All residential development is
reviewed by Ciiy staff for zoning, building, and iire code compliance prior to issuance of
buiiding permits.
Processing times vary and depend on the size and complexiTy oi the project. Projects
reviewed b�� ihe Planning Commission, such as Conditional Use Permits, iypically require
between 1 to 2 months to process. Tentative parcel maps and tentative tract maps
typicc�lly require 3 io 6 months to process. Projects reviewed by the City Council, such as
General Plan and Zoning amendments, iypically rea,uire between 3 to bmonths to
process.
Table IV-5 identifies the review authority responsible for making decisions on land use
permits and other entitiemenis, as well as the estimated processing iime for each type of
application.

together with all necessary fees and/or deposits, exhibits, maps, materials,
plans, reports, and other information required by the Development Services
Deparfment. Prior to submitting an appfication, applicants are strongly
encouraged to request a pre-application conference with staff. The purpose
of the pre-application conference is to infiorm the applicant of City
requirements as they pertain to the proposed development project, review
the procedures outlined in the Development Code, explore possible
alternatives or modifications, and identify necessary technical studies and
required information related to the environmental review of the project.
Single-family residential uses are permitted by-right in all residential zoning
districts. Multi-family residential uses are permitted by-right in the RM, RMH and
RH zones. All new residential construction and some additions to existing
residences are subject to "Development Review."
Development Review and Administrative Development Review applications
for projects that also require the approval of another discretionary permit (e.g.
conditionai use permit) shall be acted upon concurrently with the
discretionary permit and the final determination shall be made by the highest
� level of review authority in compliance with Table IV-5.
Development Review. An application for Development Review is required for
residential projects that propose one or more dwelling units (detached or
attached) and that involve the issuance of a building permit for construction
or reconstruction of a structure(s) meeting the following criteria:
• New construction on a vacant lot and new structures, additions to
structures, and reconstruction projects which are equai to SO% or greater
of the floor area of existing structures on site, or have 5,001 square feet or
more of combined gross floor area in any commercial, industrial, and
institutional development; or
• Projects involving a substantial change or intensification of land use (e.g.
the conversion of and existing structure to a restaurant, or the conversion
of a residential structure to an office or commercial use); or
• Residential, commercial, industrial, or institutional projects proposed upon
a descending slope abutting a public street.
Administrative Develoament Review. An application for Administrative
Development Review is required for residential, industriai, and institutional
developments that involve the issuance of a building permit for construction or
reconstruction of a structure(s) meeting the following thresholds of review:
• Commercial, industrial, and institutional developments that propose up to
5,000 square feet of combined floor area; or
• Projects that do not meet the specific criteria for Development Review.
Development Review and Administrative Development Review are non-
discretionary review procedures intended to address design issues such as

landscaping and building massing, and do not include a review of the merits
or suitability of the use itself.
• Initial Application Review. The Director reviews all rpplications for complete-
ness c�nd accuracy before they are accepted as being complete and
officially filed. Processing of applicafiions does not commence until all required
fees c�nd deposits have been paid. Without the application fee or a deposit,
the application is not deemed complete.
Within 30 days of a submittal, staff reviews the application package anc� the
applicant is informed in writing of whether or noi the application is deemed
complete and has been accepted for processing. If the appiication is
incomplete, the appiicant is advised regarding what additionai information is
required.
If Q pending application is not deemed complete within six months after the
first filing with the Department, the application expires and is deemed
withdrawn. Any remaining deposit amount is refunded, subject to
ao'ministrative processing fees.
• Envir�nmental Review. After acceptance of a complete application, a
project is reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA). A determination is made regarding whether or not the proposed
project is exempt fram the requirements of CEQA. If the project is not exempt,
a Qetermination is maae regarding whether a Negative Declaration,
IViitiaaied Negative Dedaration, or Environmental Impact Report will be
required based on the evaluation and consideration of information provided
by an initial study. If an EIR is required, a minimum of nine months to one year is
typically required to complete the process.
• Staff Report and Recommendations. A staff report is prepared by the Director
that describes the conclusions and findings about the proposed land use
development. The report includes recommendations on the approval,
approval with conditions, or disapproval of the application. Staff reports are
provided to the applicant at the same time they are provided to the Hearing ,
Officer, or members of the Commission and/or Council, before a hearing on
the application.
• Notice and Hearings. An appiication for a development review or
administrative development review is scheduled for q public hearing once the
department has determined the application complete. Administrative
development reviews and minor CUPs are heard by a Hearing Officer (stc�if)
while more significant applications are heard by the Planning Commission.
Legisiative acts such as General Plan amendments, zone changes, specific
plans and development agreements require City Council approval. Upon
completion of the public hearing, the review authority shall announce and
record the decision within 21 days following the conclusion of the public
hearing, The decision shall contain the required findings and a copy of the
resolution shall be mailed to the applicant.

These processes are typical of most California jurisdictions and help to ensure that the
development review process does not act as a constraint to housing development.
3. Development Fees and Improvement Requirements
After the passage of Proposition 13 and its limitation on local governments' property tax
revenues, cities and counties have faced increasing difficulty in providing public services
and facilities to serve their residents. One of the main consequences of Proposition 13 has
.been the shift in funding of new infrastructure from general tax revenues to development
impact fees and improvement requirements on land developers. The City requires
devefopers to provide on-site and off-site improvements necessary to serve their projects.
Such improvements may include water, sewer and other utility extensions, street
construction and traffic control device installation that are reasonably related to the
project. Dedication of land or in-lieu fees may also be required of a project for rights-of-
way, transit facilities, recreational facilities and school sites, consistent with the Subdivision
Map Act.
State law limits fees charged for development permit processing to the reasonable cost
of providing the service for which the fee is charged. Various fees and assessments are
charged by the City and other public agencies to cover the costs of processing permit
applications and providing services and facilities such as schoois, parks and
infrastructure.

residential development.

"Items with deposits are based on actual processing costs which may exceed initial deposit amount.
The City periodically evaluates the actual cost of processing development permits when
revising its Tee schedule. The last fee schedule update was adopted in 1998.
Improverr�ent Requirements
Throughou'r Caliiornia, developers are required to construct on- and off-site
improvements needed to serve new projects, including sireets, sidewalks, and utilities.
City road standards vary by roadway designation as provided in Table IV-7.
A local residential street requires a 44- to 60-foot right-of-way, with two 12-foot travel
lanes. I hese road standards are typical for cities in Los Angeles County and do not act as
a constraint to housing development.
The Ciiy's Capiial Improvement Program (CIP) contains a schedule of public improve-
ments including streets, bridges, overpasses and other public works projects to facilitate
the continuec� build-out of the City's General Plan. The CIP helps to ensure that
construction of public improvements is coordinated with private development.

City of Diamond Bar Housing Element IV. Constraints
Although development fees and improvement requirements increase the cost of
housing, cities have little choice in establishing such requirements due to the limitations
on property taxes and ofiher revenue sources needed to fund public services and
improvements.
B. Non-Governmental Constraints
1. Environmental Constraints
Environmental constraints include physical features such as steep slopes, fault zones,
floodplains, sensitive biological habitat, and agricultural lands. In many cases,
development of these areas is constrained by state and federal laws (e.g., FEMA
floodplain regulations, the Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act, and the
state Fish and Game Code and Alquist-Priolo Act).
Most of the level, easily developabie land in Diamond Bar has already been developed,
and much of the remaining land has a variety of geotechnical and topographic
conditions that may constrain the development of lower-priced residential units. Large
portions of the City contain steep slopes that pose a significant constraint to
development.
In addition to slope constraints, many of the hillsides in Diamond Bar have a potential for
landslides. Slope stability is affected by such factors as soil type, gradient of the slope,
underlying geologic structure, and local drainage patterns. The rolling topography and
composition of local soils throughout Diamond Bar create numerous areas for potential
landslide hazards. Although many historical landslide locations have been stabilized,
there still exist a number of potential landslide areas in the eastern portion of the City as
well as within Tonner Canyon in the Sphere of Influence. Figure IV-1 illustrafes the
significant areas with environmental constraints.

2. Infrastructure Constraints
As discussed under Development Fees and Improvement Requirements, the City requires
developers to provide on-site and off-site improvements necessary to serve their projects.
Dedication of land or in-lieu fees may alsq be required of a project for rights-of-way,
transit facilities, recreational facilities and school sites, consistent with the Subdivision Map
Act.
Additionally, the City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) contains a schedule of public
improvements including streets and other public works projects to facilitate the
continued build-out of the City's General Plan. The CIP helps to ensure that construction
of public improvements is coordinated with development. As a result of these policies,
any infrastructure constraints which currently exist must be fully mitigated and financed
as growth occurs.
Wastewater
Wastewater conveyance and treatment in Diamond Bar is provided by the County of
Los Angeles Sanitation District No. 21. Although much of the physical sewage infra-
structure appears in generally good condition, there have been repeated failures of the
pump stations needed to lift flows to the regional collectors. Presently, there are no sewer
lines in place in the developed southeastern end of the 1,250-acre development known
as the Country Estates. Approximately 144 lots are utilizing on-site wastewater disposal
systems. Installation of infrastructure is needed within the Tres Hermanos Ranch as weli.
Water
Water for City residents is supplied by the Walnut Valley Water District, which receives its
water supply from the Three Vaileys Municipal Water District and ultimately from the
Metropolitan Water District (MWD) of Southern California. Almost ali of the water suppty is
purchased from MWD, which imports water from the Colorado River Aqueduct (a small
portion comes from Northern California through the State Water Project). Domestic water
supply is not expected to limit development during the planning period.
Storm Water Drainage
Flood control is provided by the County Flood Control District. Flood control facilities are
in fairly good condition. Development proposals are assessed for drainage impacts and
required facilities. With these existing facilities and review procedures in place, the City's
flood control system is not expected to limit development during the planning period.
3. Land Costs
Land represents one of the most significant components of the cost of new housing.
Land values fluctuate with market conditions, and have been steadily increasing since
2000. However, the recent downturn in the housing market is expected to affect land
values negatively. Changes in land prices refiect the cyclical nature of the residential
real estate market. It appears that the market may be in a downturn similar to the early
IV-17 Revised Draft-November 2010
, ,
City of Diamond Bar Housing Element IV. Constraints
1980s and early 1990s, which was characterized by relatively sharp declines in property
values and extended periods of minimal appreciation before prices recovered.
A major constraint to provicling affordable housing on remaining vacant hillside parcels
in Diamond Bar is the high cost of construction in hillside areas. Another cost constraint
for construction in �reas with steep topography is the low ratio of developable area to
totc�l land area. Residential projects in hillside areas have large amounts of open space
and only aboui 25-30% aevelopable land.
4. Construct�on Casts
Construction cost is ar"fected by the price oi materials, labor, development standards
and generQl market conditions. The City has no influence aver materials and labor costs,
and the building cooes and development standards in Diamond Bar �re not substantially
different than i�ost other cities in Los Angeles Couniy. Construction costs for materials
and Ic�bor hqve increaseci at a slightly higher pace than the general rate of inflation
according ta ihe Construction Industry Research Board.
5. �ost and Availabili#y of Financing
The recent (2007-08) crisis in ihe mortgage industry will affect the availability and cost of
real estate loc�ns, c�ithough ihe long-rerm effects are unpredictable. The credit "crunch"
resulted when "sub-prime�' lenders in the past five years made it possible for low-income
families or ofihers who could not qualify for standard mortgages to become home
owners even though they might not have had the credit history and income to support
repayment of the loans. The probiem typically occurs with adjustable rate mortgages
(ARMs) after ihe initial fixed interest rate period expires (often three years) and the
interest rate converts to market. Because ARMs often oifer "teaser" initial interest rates
well below market for the first few years, monthly payments may increase by several
hundred dollars when the loan converts to market rate. When property values were
increasing, as was �he case from 2000 to 2006, homeowners had the option of
refinancing to a new loan when the initial rate expired. However, in the current market
with declining values, homeowners may owe more than the resale value of their home,
making refinancing impossible. As a result of these conditions, there has been a
significant rise in foreclosure rates, and changes in mortgage underwriting standards is
likely to have greater impacts on low-income families than other segments of the
community.
Diamond B�r is similar to most other communities with regard to private sector home
financing programs. As discussed in the previous chapter, Diamond Bar utilizes tax
exempt multi-family revenue bonds which provide a lower interest rate than is available
through conventional financing. This program helps to address funding for low-income
multi-family projects.
Under state lav�.�, it is illegal for real estate lending institutions to discriminate against entire
neighborhoods in lending practices because of the physical or economic conditions in
the area ("redlining"). In monitoring new construction sales, re-sales of existing homes,

and permits for remodeling, it would not appear that redlining is practiced in any area of
the City.
C. Fair Housing
State law also prohibits discrimination in the development process or in real property
transactions, and it is the City's policy to uphold the law in this regard. As a participating
city in the Los Angeles County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program,
the City of Diamond Bar has access to services of the Long Beach Fair Housing
Foundation for fair housing outreach and education, and counseling on housing
discrimination complaints.

V. HOUSING ACTION PLAN
Chapters il through IV of the Housing Element describe the housing needs, opportunities
and constraints in the City of Diamond Bar. The following Housing Action Plan presents
the City's six-year Housing Plan for the 2008-2014 period. This Plan sets forth Diamond Bar's
goals, policies, and programs to address the identified housing needs of the City.
A. Goals and Policies
It is the overall goal of the plan that there be adequate housing in the City, both in
quality and quantity, to provide appropriate shelter for all without discrimination.
The goals and policies of the Housing Element presented in the following section address
Diamond Bar's identified housing needs and are implemented through a series of housing
programs offered through the Community Development Department. Within this
overarching goal, the City has established goals and policies to address the
development, maintenance and improvement of the housing stock.
GOAL 1 Consrstent with fhe Vision Statement, preserve and conserve the existing
housing stock and marntain properfy valves and residents' quality of life.

City of Diamond Bar Housing Element V. Housing Action Plan
B. Housing Programs
The goals and policies contained in the Housing Element address Diamond Bar's
identified housing needs, and are implemented through a series of housing programs
offered through Development Services Department. Housing programs define the
specific actions the City will undertake to achieve the stated goals and policies.
According to §65583 of the Government Code, a city's housing programs must address
the following five major areas:
• Conserving the existing supply of affordable housing;
• Assisting in the provision of housing;
• Providing adequate sites to achieve a variety and diversity of housing;
• Removing governmental constraints as necessary; and
• Promoting equal housing opportunity
Diamond Bar's housing plan for addressing unmet needs, removing constraints, and
achieving quantitative and qualitative objectives is described in this section according
to the above five areas. The housing programs described on the following pages include
existing programs as well as new programs added to address the City's unmet housing
needs. The program summary (Table V-1, beginning on page V-13) included at the end
of this chapter specifies for each program six-year objective(s), funding source(s), and
agency responsible for implementation of the program.
Conserving the Existing Supply of Affordable Housing
Conserving and improving the housing stock is an important goal for Diamond Bar.
Although the majority of the City's housing stock is in good condition, neariy 20% of the
housing stock is 30 years or older, the age when most homes begin to require major
rehabilitation improvements. By identifying oider residential neighborhoods for potentiai
housing rehabilitation, the City has taken a proactive approach to maintaining the
quality of its current housing stock. The focus neighborhoods identified by this Pian as
evidencing physical problem conditions can be specifically targeted for City housing
improvement assistance.
1. Residential Neighborhood Improvement Program
The City implements a proactive Neighborhood Improvement Program. Neighborhood
inspections are conducted on a regular basis throughout the entire City. The checklist for
residential violations includes inoperable vehicles, trash storage, parking on paved areas
only, structure maintenance, landscape maintenance, and fence and wall
maintenance. After the neighborhood inspection, letters are sent out to all property
owners in areas where violations have been observed. A follow-up inspection will be
conducted, at which time any noticed properties found to be in violation of the
Municipal Code are subject to a $100 citation.
V-3 Revised Draft-November 2010
City of Diamond Bar Housing Element V. Housing Action Plan
When problems c�re observed, inspectors may refer residenis to the Single Family
Rehabilitation loon program, or to civic organizations which assist elderly householders
with minor paint and repair, yard cleanup and junk cc�rs through the "Paint the Town"
minor repair cnd rehabilitation program.
Six-year objective: Continue to implemeni ihe code enforcement program, and
direct eligible households to available rehabilitation assist�nce in order to correct
code violations. Pro��ide r'ocused code enforcerr�ent and rehabilitation assistance
for 5 to 6 households in neighborhoods evidencing concentrations oi deteriorating
units.
2. Home Improvement and "Paint the Town"
The City supports the Diamond Bar Improvement Association for the "Paint the Town"
which uses volunteer labor and CDBG funds to purchase supplies. Through this annual
event organized by �he Homeowners Associc�tion, civic organizations assist elderly,
low/moderate income householders with minor paint and repair, yard cleanup and junk
cars. p,ppliconfis are selected by income verification as well as needs assessmeni. In
addition, the City set aside CDBG funds ior minor home repair, Home Improvement
Program, vdhere low/moderaie income householders could receive $5,000 grant and/or
$10,000 no inierest loan for home repair and rehabilitation.
Six-year objective: Minor repair and rehabilitation for 10 units annually.
3. Single-Family Rehabilitation Program
Diamond Bar pariicipates in the Los Angeles Couniy Single Family Rehabilitation Program
which assists low/moderate income (up to 120% oi AMI) single-family homeowners who
need property rehabilitation. The maximum loan amount is $25,000, although loan
amounis Ty�ically vary from $15,000 to $25,000. ThiS program is promoted on the City's
website and through personal contact with code enforcement stafif, Since the program
is funded and operated by Los Angeles County, the City has no control over total
funding amounts or number of persons served.
Six-year ob�ective: The City will continue to advertise the County program, which
provides rehabilitation loans to qualified low- and moderate-income homeowners,
on the City's website and throuah code enforcement staff.
4o Sectic�n 8 Renta� ��sistance Progrc�m
The Sectior� 8 Rental Assistance Program extends rental subsidies to extremely-low- and
very-lov��-income households who spend more th�n 30% of their gross income on housing,
Rental assistance not only addresses housing cffordabiliiy, but also overcrowding by
assisting families thai may be "doubling up" in order to afford rent. The Los Hngeles
County Nousii�g Auihoriiy coordinates Section 8 rental assistance on behalf of the City,
with 59 households (July 2007) currently participating in the program.
�ix-�e�r �:�.��c:�i��: i he City's objective is to continue current levels of Secfion 8
rental assistance, and to direct eligible households to the County program,

5. Preservation of Assisted Housing
� Diamond Bar contains only one assisted housing project, the 149-unit Seasons
Aparfments (formerly "Heritage Park") for senior citizens. This project was constructed in
1988 and was originally financed under the Los Angeles County Multi-Family Mortgage
Revenue Bond program. The project was refinanced in November 1999 under the
California Community Development Authority's Multi-Family Housing Re-funding Bond,
and was transferred to the Corporate Fund for Housing, a non-profit organization.
According to the terms of the new bond agreement, income restrictions for residents
and corresponding rent limits were set. For the duration of the bond, which expires
December 2, 2034, all units will be affordable: 30 units (20%) will be very-low-income, 82
units (55%) will be low-income, and 37 units will be moderate-income (defined as 100%
AMI).
Six-year objective: Preserve 100% of the 149 low- and moderate-income units in
the Seasons Apartments.
6. Mobile Home Park Preservation
There are two �mobile home parks in Diamond Bar, both located in the western portion of
the City: Diamond Bar Estates and Wainut Creek Estates. These mobile home parks were
developed before incorporation of the City on land previously designated as Industrial
under the County's jurisdiction. The Diamond Bar General Plan Land Use Map adopted in
1995 designated both mobile home parks "residential" in order to preserve their status
and prevent future inconsistencies. This designation in the General Plan works to preserve
the parks since any proposed land use change would require an amendment to the
, City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, as well as adherence to State mobile home
park closure requirements.
Six-year objective: The City will continue to support preservation of its two mobile
home parks as important affordable housing resources.
Assisting in the Provision of Housing
To enable more households to attain homeownership in Diamond Bar, the City
participates in two mortgage assistance programs: the Homebuyer Assistance Program
and the Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC). These programs are very important given
that housing prices in Diamond Bar rank among the highest in eastern Los Angeles
County and northern Orange County. The City is also supportive of the development of
senior housing to meet the needs of its growing senior population and multi-family rental
housing for lower-income households, including working families and university students.
7. First-Time Homebuyer Assistance Programs
Los Angeles County offers a first-time homebuyer assistance_program and Mortgage
Credit Certificates. To be eligible, families must meet the specified income requirements
and be able to pay a S% down payment on their home. The maximum sales price for a
home through the program in 2008 is $493,000 for single-family homes and $394,250 for
V-5 Revised Draft-November 2010
, ,
City of Diamond Bar Housing Element V. Housing Action Plan
condos. The maximum price of a home purchased in conjunc�ion with the hhortgage
Credit Certificate program is $591,272 for an existing home and $571,278 for a new
home. I he Ciiy of Diamond Bar provides referral information to prospective buyers at the
public counter an� on the City websiie.
Home C3wnership Pr�gram (HOP)
The Los Angeles Couniy Home O�nership Pro�ram (HOP) provides zero-interest loans
with no repayment due until the home is sold, transferred, or refinanced. iv'iaximum loan
amount is �15,000 or 25% of fihe purchase price, whichever is the least. The loan is
secured by a second �rusi deed �nd c� promissory note. The home must be owner-
occupied for the 20-year life of the loan.
Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC)
The Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) program is a federal program that allows
qualified fir�t-time homebuyers to take an annual credi'r aaainsi federal income taxes of
up to 1 S% oi the annual interest paid on the applicant's morigage. This enables
homebuyers to have more income available to qualify ior a mortgaae loan and make
the monihly mortgage payments. The value oi the MCC must be taken into considera-
tion by 'rhe mortgage lender in underwriting the loan and may be used to adjust the
borrower's iederal income tax withholding. The MCC program has covenant restrictions
to ensure the afiordability of the participating homes ior a period oT 15 years. MCCs can
be usec4 in conjunciion with the Home Ownership Program (HOP).
Six-year objective: The City will advertise these programs and provide information
to interesied homebuyers. In addition, the Ciiy will work with realtors to make them
aware of these programs. The objective is to provide six HOP and six MCC loans
per year depending on availability.
8. Senior and Workforce Housing Developr�ent
Wiih a growing portion of the City's population 65 years of age and above, Diamond Bar
will experience a significant need for senior housina and services. Particularly those
seniors 75 years and older will begin to require housing with a supportive service
component. The City currently has only one senior housing facility, the Seasons
Apartments.
Occupations ior v��hich high housing costs make it difficult to live in ihe community where
the househalder is employed include teachers, police and firefighters. Several colleges
and universities are also located within commuting distance oi Diamond Bar. The City will
coordinete with these institutions to identify potential partnership opportunities for
affordc ble faculty/staff housing.
The City will assist in establishing a second senior facility and aeveloping workiorce
housing, including units affordable to very-low- and extremely-low-income persons as
well as units with 3-4 bedrooms suitable for large families, if feasible, in several ways. First,
the City wili identify suitable sites for development in the Housing and Land Use Elements,
V-5 Revised Drait- November 2010
City of Diamond Bar Housing Element V. Housing Action Plan
including zoning to encourage and facilitate low-cost housing options such as SROs.
Second, the City will offer regulatory incentives, and/or direct financial assistance
appropriate to the project. The following are among the types of incentives which may
be provided:
• Contributions to off-site improvements (e.g. traffic mitigation, infrastructure
upgrades, etc.)
• Flexible development standards (reduced parking, reduced open space,
modified setbacks, etc.)
• Density bonuses
• City support to developers in affordable housing funding applications
• Reduction in development fees
• Direct financial assistance
it must be recognized that the City's ability ta offer direct financial subsidies is limited,
particularly in light of current fiscal conditions. The City has no redevelopment agency to
generate housing set-aside funds, and its CDBG revenue is only about $360,000 per year
(see Chapter III for further discussion of the City's financial resources). Given these
financial limitations, the City's primary efforfs to encourage and facilitate affordable
housing production are through its land use regulations and staff support to interested
developers in applying for grant funds.
Pursuant to the City's Affordable Housing Incentives Ordinance, the City provides
modified development standards, including parking reductions, for senior and affordable
projects. A portion of the City's CDBG funds can be used to help finance senior and
workforce housing projects. New housing developments in Diamond Bar may also be
eligible for City of Industry funds, as well as other funding sources identified in the
Resources chapter of the Element. Typicaliy, local government assistance can serve as
gap financing to bridge the difference between the total project cost and the equity
investment plus market-rate debt.
Six-year objective: The City will identify and evaluate sites suitable for new senior
and workforce housing (see also Program 9). In 2009-2010 the City will contact
land/property owners by mail and by posting information on the City website
regarding the City's interest in assisting in the development of senior and
workforce housing, provide information on available regulatory and financial
incentives, and assist developers in applying for funds. The City will also contact
local colleges and universities to identify potential partnership opportunities for
affordable housing. The City's quantified objectives for housing production during
the 2006-2014 planning period are described in Table V-2, and include 142
extremely-low units, 142 very-low units and 179 low-income units.
V-7 Revised Draft-November 2010
City of Diamond Bar Housing Element V. Housing Action Plan
Providing Adequate Housing Sites to Achieve a Variety and Diversity
of Housing
A major element in meetina the housing needs of all segments of the community is the
provision oi �c�equate sites for all types, sizes and prices of housing. The City's Generc�l
Plan, Develc�pment Code, and specific plans dictate where housing may be built,
thereby affec�ing the availability of land for residential development. Speciiic locations
for housing sites are depicted in the tables and map presented in Appendix B.
4. Land Use Elernent and Zc�r�sng
The Land Use Element of the Generai Plan, as discussed in Chap'rer III, provides for a
varieiy o� hcusing iypes in Diamond Bar, with densities ranging from one unit per acre to
20 dwelling units per acre. Although higher densities can be achieved through the City's
density �onus ;�rovisions and through development agreements, there are currently not
sufficieni siies vvith appropriate zoning to accommodate the lower-income need of 466
uniis ideniiiied in the RHNA (see discussion in Appendix B).
State law establishes a densi'ry of 30 units/acre as suitable fior lower-income housing in
metropolitan cities. Staie law also requires thai the City identiy and rezone sites that shall
accommodate 100% of its remaining lower-income housing need. Therefore, the City
musi rezone ai least 15.6 acres of land to allow residential development by-right at a
densiiy oi 30 units/acre in order to accommodate ai least 466 units. Ihe series of actions
described below will ensure that these requirements are satisfied.
I 1. By �-3 June 2C? ' the City will conduct a deiailed review of the vacani parcels
listed in Appendix B, lable B-2 and identify sites encompassing at least 15.6
developable acres that are suiiable for multi-family development at a density of
30 units/acre.
2. By ��cemb�r 2011, following completion of the site evaluation, the City will
prepare the required site-specific environmental analysis, c-�-�c��i�� G n:,-,� ':%ery

rezone ihe selecied parcels to allow multi-family development by-right in order to
accommodate the lower-income RHNA of 466 units for this planning period.
Rezoned sites will have a minimum density of 20 units/acre, will accommodate at
least 16 units per site, and will include development standards that encourage
and facilitate multi-family development by-right (i.e., without a conditional use
permit, planned development permit, or other discretionary actionJ at a density of
30 units per acre. Sites with capacity for at least 50% of the lower-income need
(i.e., 233 units) will be designated exclusively for residential use. T��,e cc.�c;�;'e siles

3. The City will report its progress in implementing this program to HCD on an annual
basis, pursuant to Government Code §65400.
4. The City shall comply with the "no net loss" provisions of Government Code
§65863 through the implementation of an ongoing project-by-project evaluation
process to ensure that adequate sites are available to accommodate the City's
RHNA share throughout the planning period. The City shall not reduce the
allowable density of any site in its residential land inventory, nor approve a
development project at a lower density than assumed in the land inventory, unless
both of the following findings are made:
a) The reduction is cansistent with the adopted General Plan, including the
Housing Element; and
b) The remaining sites identified in the Housing Element are adequate to
accommodate the City's share of regional housing need pursuant to
Government Code §65584.
If a reduction in residential density for any parcel would result in the remaining sites
in the Housing Element land inventory not being adequate to accommodate the
City's share of the regional housing need pursuant to Sec. 65584, the City may
reduce the density on that parcel if it identifies sufficient additional, adequate
and available sites with an equal or greater residential density so that there is no
net loss of residential unit capacity.
5. An accurate land inventory of sites suitable for residential development shall be
made available to interested parties at the Planning Department office and on
the City's website.
Six-year objective: The City will conduct an evaluation of candidate sites for high-
density development and will identify sites encompassing at least 15.6 acres in
201 1 h��8 to accommodate the Regional Housing Needs Assessment. By the
end of 201 1, the General Plan and Development Code will be amended to
create a new Very Hicah Residential land use cateaory allowina multi-familv
development at up to 30 units/acre and #-�es.,e-sites totalina at least 1 S.6 acres will
be rezoned to allow multi-family development by-right at a density of a�-Gea�#�0
units/acre. The City will report annually as part of the General Plan
Implementation Report on its progress in identifying and rezoning such sites, and
implement a procedure to ensure compliance with No Net Loss requirements.
10. Mixed Use Development
The City is supportive of mixed-use development, which would provide housing close to
places of employment. The Specific Plan (SP) overlay designation can facilitate large-
scale development areas (e.g., Tres Hermanos) in which residential, commercial,
recreational, public facilities, and other land uses may be permitted, or redevelopment
of existing underutilized properties. The Site D Specific Plan is a joint effort between the
City and the Walnut Valley Unified School District to facilitate the development of up to
202 dwelling units and 154,000 square feet of commercial space on a 30-acre property
V-9 Revised Draff-November 2010
I
City of Diamond Bar Hausing Element V. Housing Action Plan
�including 28 acres of surplus School District property), which received the Planning
Commission's recommendation for approval on May 1 1, 2010. As part oi Program 9
(Land Use tlei�r�e�t and Zonina) the Ciiy will encouraae properiy owners and developers
to pursue mixed-use development where appropriate to c�ccommodate a portion of the
lower-income nousing neeos during this planning period. IV�ixed-use can also reduce
vehicle trips, make more efficient use of land and parking areas, and facilitate energy
canser�ation.
Six-year objective: The City will prepare a handout and mc�rketing materials
encouraging mixed-use development where appropriate and make it available
io interested developers (see also Program 4).
11. Second Unit�
The City's Development Code permits second units by right in the RR and RL Districts.
Second units are allowed on lots between 10,000 and 20,000 square feet in size. The
maximum size of ihe second unit is 600 square feet. If the lot is over 20,000 square feet,
the maximum size of the second unit is up to 1,200 square feei. A second unit may be
rented. Five second units were approved during the previous planning period (1998-
2007).
�ix-vec�r objective: Vdhile ihe City is not reliant on second units to address its
regional housing needs, second units can contribute to the provision of lower cost
rental housing, particularly for seniors. The City wiil continue to encourage
construction of second dwelling units pursuani io the provisions oi its Second Unit
Ordinance, and will develop an informational handout in 2010 for distribution at
the public counter.
12. Emergency Shelters and Transitional/Supportive Housing
Senate Bill 2 of 2007 strengthened planning requirements for emergency sheiters and
transitional/supportive housing. The City will amend the Municipal Code within one year
of Housing Element adoption in compliance with SB 2, inciuding specific development
standards that will apply 'ro emergency shelters, and clarification that
transitional/supportive housing is a residentiql use subject to the same standards as other
residential uses of the sdme type in the same zone. At this time, the City is evaluating the
suitability of ihe RM (Residential Medium Density) zone to accommodate an emergency
shelter by-right. The �rVi zone encompasses approximately 101 acres, of which over 16
acres is undeveloped, and is served by bus routes and commercial services. However, as
part of the Code amendment public review process the City Council may determine
that another zone is better suited for this purpose. Any alternate zone that may be
determined to be better suited for emergency shelters shall comply with the
requirements of S6 2. As part of the Municipal Code amendment, appropriate findings
and development standards will be adopted to encourage and facilitate developmenf
of an emergency shelier in compliance with SB 2. The City will also continue to
cooperate wiih the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments in its efforts to develop a
regional strategy for addressing homelessness.

City of Diamond Bar Housing Element V. Housing Action Plan
Six-year objective: Amend the Development Code in conformance with SB 2 to
establish development standards for emergency shelters and
transitional/supportive housing within one year of Housing Element adoption, and
continue participating in the SGVCOG homeless study to address homelessness.
13. Redevelopment of Underutilized Sites
Some commercial properties in Diamond Bar that were originally developed 20-30 yea�s
ago are now "underutilized" and have the opportunity to take advantage of
contemporary land use and design through redevelopment. The City will encourage
interested owners of suci� properties to pursue redevelopment that includes a mixed-use
or multi-family residential cornponent. Incentives the City may offer to encourage and
facilitate redevelopment include #he following:
• Contributions to off-site improvements (e.g. traffic mitigation, infrastructure
upgrades, etc.)
• Flexible development standards (reduced parking, reduced open space,
modified setbacks, etc.)
• Density bonuses
• City support to developers in affordable housing funding applications
• Reduction in development fees
• Direct financial assistance
Six-year objective: Encourage interested property owners to pursue
redevelopment of underutilized properties through the provision of incentives and
concessions.
Removing Governmental Constraints
Under current state law, the Housing Element must address, and where legaliy possible,
remove governmental constraints affecting the maintenance, improvement, and
development of housing. The following programs are designed to mitigate government
constraints on residential development and facilitate the development of a variety of
housing.
14. Affordable Housing Incentives/Density Bonus
In order to specifically facilitate the development of affordable housing, the City utilizes
Affordable Housing Incentives/Density Bonus Provisions (Development Code Chapter
22.18). Incentives provided for in Chapter 22.18 apply to developments of five or more
dwelling units. If a density bonus and/or other incentives cannot be accommodated on
a parcel due to strict compliance with the provisions of the Development Code, the
Council is authorized to waive or modify the development standards as necessary to
accommodate all bonus units and other incentives to which the development is entitled.
Incentives will include a reduction in the required off-street parking pursuant to SB 1818
V-11 Revised Draft-November 2010
City of Diamond Bar Housing Element V. Housing Action Plan
and c�liowina carports rather than garages for lower-income aparfments. The City will
consider appropriate changes to the Development Code to address ihe provisions of SB
1818 by 2010.
Six-year objective: The City will consider Qppropriate changes to the Develop-
rnent Code to address the provisions of SB 1818 by 2010, ond also develop a
handou-i summarizing The benefits and requirements of its affordable housing
incentives/density l�onus provisions. The summary handou'r v�ill be prepared and
distribu�e� to the aevelopment community. These incentives and provisions will be
particularly important to potential developers of afTordable senior housing.
15. Efficient Project Processing
The City is committed to c� streamlined development process, and has adopted
procedures to iacilitc�te projeci processing. A prospective applicant or agent proposing
developmeni is strongly encourqged to request a pre-application conference with the
Development Services Department before formal submittal of an applica'rion.
The purpose o� �his conference is to inform the appiicant of City requirements as they
apply to the proposed development project, review the procedures outlined in the
Development Code, explore possible alternatives or modificc�tions, and identify
necessary technical siudies and required information relating to future entitlement
review.
Six-yecsr �bjective: The City will continue io oifer streamlined development
processing, and will periodically review departmental processing procedures to
ensure efficient project processing.
Promoting Equal Housing Opportunities
To ade�uately meet the housing needs of all segments of the communi'ry, the housing
plan must include program(s) thqt promote housing opportunities for all persons
regardless oi race, religion, gender, family size, maritai staius, ancestry, national origin,
color, c�ge, or physical disability.
16. Fair Housing Program
As a participating city in the Los Angeles County CDBG program, Diamond Bar has
access to the services of the San Gabriel Valley and Long Beach Fair Housing Foundation
for fair housing outreach and education, and counseling on housing discrimination
complaints. The City will c�ctively advertise the fair housing program through placement
of fair housii�g service brachures at the public counter, at the Senior Center, through the
City's ��ev�sletier, and on the City website. Apartment owners and managers are among
the mos'r important groups to educate about fair housing issues, rights and responsibilities.
The Aparimeni Association of Greater Los Angeles conducts seminars on stc�te, federal
and local I=air Housing laws and problems oi housing. in order to bring up these issues in
the local community, the City will sponsor a seminar at which the Apartment Association

Six-year objective: The City will continue to promote fair housing practices,
provide educational information on fair housing to the public, and specifically
sponsor a Fair Housing seminar in the community in conjunction with the Greater
Los Angeles Apartment Association no later than June 2010. Fair Housing informa-
tion will be disseminated at libraries, senior centers, recreation centers, and Social
Security and employment offices. The City will continue to refer fair housing
complaints to the San Gabriel Valley and Long Beach Fair Housing Foundation,
and maintain an open dialogue with the Foundation regarding the nature of
complaints received.
17. Reosonable Accommodation for Persons with Disabilities
Senate Bill 520 of 2001 requires cities to remove constraints or make reasonable
accommodations for housing occupied by persons with disabilities. The City will amend
the Municipal Code in 2009 to establish procedures for reviewing and approving requests
for reasonable housing accommodations pursuant to SB 520.
Six-year objective: The City wili amend the Municipal Code in 2009 to include
reasonable accommodation procedures for persons with disabilities in
compliance with SB 520.

Appendix B
Residential Land Inventory
2006-2014
Overview
The detailed assumptions and methodology for the residential land inventory are
provided below and summarized in Table B-1.

single-family homes were built. The second units are assigned to the moderate-income
category since the typical apartment rent falls within the moderate category (see Table
II-18 and Table II-20). The single-family homes and condos are assumed to be in the
above-moderate income category.
Methodoloqy for Income Category and Realistic Capacitv of Vacant Sites
Table B-1 summarizes approved projects and vacant parcels suitable for residential
development. These parcels, shown on Figure B-1, can accommodate a total of 841
dwelling units. Market-rate rental apartments were assigned to the moderate-income
category based on income limits for affordability categories and the rental market survey
described in Chapter II (see Table II-18 and Table II-20). New for-sale units, both
detached and attached, were assigned to the above-moderate cc�tegory.
Potential to Accommodate the RHNA
As noted in Chapter III (Table III-1� the City's net remaining RHNA for the 2008-2014
planning period is as follows:
Lower-income units-466 units
Moderate-income units- 187 units
Above-moderate units-268 units
As shown in Table B-1, the capacity of vacant and underutilized sites is more than
sufficient to accommodate the City's remaining need in the Moderate- and Above-
moderate categories. There is currently a shortfall of potential sites with appropriate
zoning to accommodate the City's remaining lower-income need. At the default density
of 30 units/acre, approximately 15.6 acres of land would be needed to accommodate
the remaining lower-income need of 466 units.
Potential Sites for Additional Residential Development
The sites listed in Table B-2 have sufficient capacity to accommodate high-density
residential development commensurate with the City's remaining lower-income need of
466 units during this planning period. Program 9 in the Housing Action Plan (Chapter V)
includes a commitment to rezone a minimum of 15.6 acres of land at a density of 30
B-1 Revised Draft-November 2010
City of Diamor�d �a� Housing Element Appendix B- Residential Land Inventory
units/acre io accommodate this remaining need. These sites are located within the Tres
Hermanos area and are described below.
• Tres Hermanos. The Tres Hermanos area encompasses approximately 2,600 acres
in the ciiies of Diamond Bar and Chino Hills, of which 720 acres is within Diamond
Bar's co�porate limits. The entire property is owned by ihe City of Industry's Urban
Developm�nt Agency. The Tres Hermanos Conservation Authoriiy is a joint powers
authorit�✓ formed by the cities oi Diamond Bar and Chino Hills with the City of
InGusiry. ihe purpose of �he Authority is to guide developmen't in this area in a
sensiiive manner that is beneficial to the member cities. The 720-acre portion of
the properiy in Diamond Bar has significant residential or mixed-use development
poten;�cl. It is anticipated that a specific plan will be prepared ior the entire
projeci. Although a varieiy of constraints exist (slopes or geotechnical issues,
sensitive biological c�reas, access, etc.) the site is large enough to set aside
portions of ihe project as open space and concentrate residential or mixed-use
development in suitable areas. At the preseni iime, planning effiorts are iocused
primarily on the Chino Hiils Parkway transportation corridor. The Diamond Bar
General Plan currently provides for up to 144 residential units on ihe portion of the
site within the city, with no further definition oi the unit type. Policy 3.3 provides
speciiic direction for inclusion oi multi-family units in this area. In aa'dition to this
residential component, facilities that may be developed in Tres Hermanos include
educational institutions, d water reservoir for prc�ctical and aestnetic purposes,
commercial developments, churches, institutional and other uses that are
complemeniary to the overall objective of a master plannecf developmeni.
The parcels listed in iable B-2 and shown in Figures B-2 and B-3 are adjacent to
Diamond Ranch High School and existing residential development, and can
readily �ie into infrastructure. ihese parcels comprise approximately 1 12 acres and
could support more than the Ciiy's RHNA allocation of 466 multi-family
development within the current planning period. City of Indus�ry Redevelopment
Agency housing set-aside iunds, administered by the County of Los Angeles
Community Development Commission (LACDC), could assist the development of
aiforc�able units on this site. As port of the Housing Element impiementation
program, the Gity of Diamond Bar has commitied to rezoning suifiicient sites that
can accommodate a minimum of 466 multi-family units. i� :s 'i�.e Cii��,� s 1�;;�r,i ;ha'r

City of Diamond Bar Housing Element I. Introduction
I. INTRODUCTlON
A. Community Context
The City of Diamond Bar is located in the southeast corner of Los Angeles County, at the
intersection of Los Angeles, Orange, and San Bernardino Counties. The City is situated at
, the eastern end of the East San Gabriel Vailey, adjacent to State Routes 57 and 60
("Pomona Freeway") as shown in Figure 1. Diamond Bar began as Rancho Los Nogales
(Rancho of the Walnut Trees) after a Spanish land grant in 1840. At its height, it was one
of the largest cattle and walnut ranches in Southern California. Until the mid-20th century,
this land was alternately combined and divided for various agricultural uses. In 1956, the
Christiana Oil Corporation and the Capital Oil Company, a subsidiary of the
Transamerica Corporation, purchased the Diamond Bar Ranch. A comprehensive
development plan was prepared and approved, making Diamond Bar one of the first
master-planned communities in Los Angeles County.
During fhe 1960s, suburban development spread eastward from the Los Angeles basin,
stimulating local housing and population growth as Diamond Bar's open hillsides were
replaced with homes. Despite its initial conception as a master-planned community,
Diamond Bar was not developed in an orchestrated manner while it remained an
unincorporated community. In March 1989, local voters approved incorporation in order
to assert stricter control over local development. On April 18, 1989, Diamond Bar became
the 86'h city in Los Angeles County, and by 2007 had grown to a population of about
60,000 with approximately 18,000 housing units.
The ethnic composition of Diamond Bar is distinctly different from Los Angeles County as
a whole. The 2000 Census revealed that the City's demographic makeup included 43%
Asian and 31% white, compared to 12% and 31%, respectively, in Los Angeles County.
Hispanics comprised about 19% of the City's residents, compared to 45% countywide.
� The City's population is aging; between 1980 and 2000, the median age for Diamond Bar
increased from 27.5 years to 36.5 years. The senior population also grew; the share of the
population aged 65 years and above increased from 2% to over 10% in 2000. In terms of
actual numbers, the senior population increased from approximately 600 persons in 1980
to over 4,200 persons in 2000. It is an�ticipated that the City will continue-to experience
growth in its senior population as the post-World War II "Baby Boom" generation' reaches
retirement age.
In contrast to the size of its population, Diamond Bar has a relatively small employment
base. In 2000 there were approximately 16,000 jobs in the City compared to about 18,000
housing units. Major employers include Allstate Insurance, Travelers Insurance, South
Coast Air Quality Management District, and the Walnut Valley Unified School District.
While the City actually lost jobs during the early 1990s like many California communities
hit by recession, the Southern California Association of Governments projects a significant
increase in empioyment between 2000 and 2020.
' "Baby Boomers" are those born between 1946 and 1964. In 2008,the first Boomers reached age 62.

City of Diamond Bar Housing Element I. Introduction
Diamond B�r o�fers a variety of housing choices. Single-family cletached homes account
for about 71% of all units, while multi-family units, including condominiums and apart-
ments, constituie aboui 28�0 oi the housing stock. The City also contains two mobile
home parks, which comprise the remaining 2% of the housing stock. The housing stock
generally is in gaod physical condition. However, four older single-family neighborhoods
with uniis constructed during ihe 1960s and 1970s are showing signs of cging and
deferred mcintenance and could be the focus for potential housing rehabilitation
programs. i he Cfty has one assisied housing project, The Seasons Apartmenis, providing
149 senior housing units, all of which are reserved for low- and moderate-income
households.
Housing prices for Diamond Bar remain relatively high with the median price of a resale
single-famil)% nome at approximately $650,000 and median price for condominiums at
approximately $370,000. Although there are relaiively few apartments in Diamond Bar,
representative rents for 2-bedroom/1-bath apartments are about $1,550 per month.
Most of the easily buildable land in the City has already been developed, and much of
the remaining land is exposed to a variety of geotechnical and topographic conditions
that may constrain rhe development of lower-priced homes. in addition, inadequate
infrastructure may also act as a constraint to residential development. The majority of
future residentic�l growth in Diamond Bar will occur in the underdeveloped northeast and
southern areas. Over 700 acres of the Tres Hermanos Ranch falls within the City and is
anticipated to inci�de some multi-family housing on areas of moderate slope. In
addition, approximately 100 acres of the Crestline/Diamond Canyon area located at the
southwest side of the City is within the City's sphere of influence. The Ciiy has processed
an annexation request for the Crestline/Diamond Canyon area with the Los Angeles
Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) to annex the area consisting of 150 single-
family homes.
B. Role of Housing Element
Diamond Bar is faced with various important housing issues that include a balance
between employment and housing opportunities, a match between the supply of and
demand for housing, preserving and enhancing affordability for all segments of the
population, preserving the quality of the housing stock, and providing new types of
housing necessary to accommodate growth and the changing population. This Housing
Element provides policies and programs to address these issues.
Diamond B�r's Housing Element is a six-year plan for the period 2008 to 2014, unlike other
General Plan elements which typically cover a 10- to 20-yeqr planning horizon. This
Housing Element identifies strategies and programs that focus on: 1) conserving and
improving e;.isiing affordable housing; 2) providing adequate housing sites; 3) assisting in
the development of affordable housing; 4) removing governmental and other constraints
to the housii�� development; and S) promoting equal housing opportunities.

City of Diamond Bar Housing Element I. Introduction
The Diamond Qar Housing Element consists of the following major components:
• An analysis of the City's demographic and housing chc�racieristics and trends
(Chapter II);
• An evaluation of resources and opportunities available to address housing
issues (Chapter III);
• A review of potentiai market, governmental, and environmental constraints to
meeting the City's identified housing needs (Chapter IV);
• I he Housing Action Plan for the 2008-2014 planning period (Chapter V); and
• A review of the City's accomplishmenis during the previous planning period
(Appendix A).
• A detailed inventory of the suitable sites for housing developrnent
(Appendix B)
C. Data Sources
In preparing the Housing Element, various sources of information were consulted. The
2000 Census provides the basis for population and household characteristics. Although
dated, the Census remains the most comprehensive and widely accepted source of
informaiion on demographic characteristics. Other sources ofi information are used to
supplement and provide reliable updates of the 2000 Census, and include:
o Population and demographic data provided by the State Department of
Finance;
• Housing market information, such as home sales, rents, and vacancies;
• Local and County public and nonprofit aaency information on special needs
populations, services available to ihem, and gaps in the system;
• Informqtion an housing conditions based on City planning and code
enforcement activities.
D. Public Participation
Residents, businesses and interest groups participated in the City's Housing Element
update process and were an important component of the overall program. The Planning
Commission conducted public study sessions to reviev� the preliminary draft element.
These study sessions were advertised to the public through the normal public notice
procedures.
Copies of the prelimin�ry draft Element were disseminated for review throughout the
community at locations including City Hall, Diamond Bar Public Library and the City's
website. In order to make citizens aware of the availability of the Housing Element, the
City placed advertisemenis in two daily publications, the Inland Valley Daily and the San
Gabriel Valley News.
I-4 Revised Draft-November 2010
1 i
City of Diamond Bar Housing Element I. Introduction
Following the public study session meetings, the draft Housing Element was submitted to
the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for review. The
element was then revised to respond to HCD comments and the draft element was
reviewed at public hearings held before the Planning Commission and the City Council
prior to final adoption. Notices of all public hearings were posted in the local newspaper
and meetings are televised to provide broader outreach to the community.
E. Relationship to Other General Plan Elements
The City of Diamond Bar General Plan consists of six elements: 1) Land Use; 2) Housing;
3) Resource Management; 4) Public Health and Safety; 5) Circulation; and 6) Public
Services and Facilities. This Housing Element builds upon the other General Plan elements
and is consistent with the policies and proposals set forfh by the Plan. Examples of inter-
element consistency include: residential development capacities established in the Land
Use Element are incorporated within the Housing Element, and the discussion of
environmental constraints in the Housing Element is based upon information from the
Resource Management and Public Health and Safety elements.
As the General Plan is amended over time, the Housing Element will be reviewed for
consistency, and amended as necessary to maintain an internally consistent Plan.
SB 1087 of 2005 requires cities to provide a copy of their Housing Elements to local water
and sewer providers, and also requires that these agencies provide priority hookups for
developments with lower-income housing. The draft Housing Element was provided to
these agencies for review, and was again provided to them upon City Council adoption.

City of Diamond Bar Housing Element II. Housing Needs Assessment
II. HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Diamond Bar lies in southeastern Los Angeles County, approximately 28 miles east of Los
Angeles. Diamond Bar's recorded history began with a Mexican land grant. On
March 30, 1840, Governor Juan Alvarado deeded 4,340 acres, which included Brea
Canyon and the eastern Walnut Valley, to Jose de la Luz Linares, who founded Rancho
Los Nogales, or Ranch of the Walnut Trees. Over time, and as the United States
government took over California, Rancho Los Nogales was divided and sold into multiple
land ranches, the largest of which was the Diamond Bar Ranch. The entire Diamond Bar
Ranch was acquired by the Transamerica Corporation in the 1950s for the purpose of
developing one of the nation's first master-planned communities, named Diamond Bar.
The City of Diamond Bar was incorporated on April 18, 1989, and by 2007 had a
population of approximately 60,207. Diamond Bar is approximately 14.9 square miles in
area and is surrounded by the cities of Pomona to the north, Industry to the norfhwest,
the unincorporated community of Rowland Heights to the west, the Firestone Boy Scout
Reservation in unincorporated Los Angeles County to the south, and Ch�ino Hills to the
east. The population's median household income in 2000 was $68,871. The 2000 Census2
indicated Diamond Bar's median household income was 63% higher than that of Los
Angeles County ($42,189) and 50% higher than California as a whole ($47,493).
This chapter examines general population and household characteristics and trends,
such as age, race and ethnicity, employment, household composit�on and size,
household income, and special needs. Characteristics of the existing housing stock (e.g.,
number of units and type, tenure, age and condition, costs) are also addressed. Finally,
the City's projected housing growth needs based on the 2007 Regional Housing Needs
Assessment (RHNA) are examined.
The Housing Needs Assessment utilizes the most recent data from the 2000 U.S. Census3,
California Department of Finance (DOF), California Employment Development Depart-
ment (EDD), Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and other relevant
sources. Supplemental data was obtained through field surveys and from private
vendors.
A. Population Characteristics
1. Population Growth Trends
Diamond Bar was incorporated in 1989 with much of its territory already developed. From
1990 to 2000, the City's population grew by approximately 4.9%. From 2000 to 2007 the
City grew about 7% to an estimated population of 60,207 (see Table II-1 and Figure II-1).
The City's 2007 population represents approximately 0.6% of the county's total
population of 10,331,939.
2 2000 Census,SF3 Table P53
3 Although some more recent Census estimates exist,the 2000 Decenniai Census is the most widely-
accepted benchmark for demographic analysis.

groups require different accommodations based on lifestyle, family type, income level,
and housing preference. Table il-2 and Figure II-2 provide a comparison of the City's and
county's populaiion by age group in 2000. This table shows that Diamond Bar is a family-
oriented City, with children under 18 representing 38% of the population� A striking
statistic is the proportion of young adults (25-44), which is less than 2� of the City's
population compared to 33% of the county as a whole. The median age of the City's
population is approximately 4.5 years older than the county median.

B. Household Characteristics
1 . Hous�hold Composition and Size
Household characteristics are important indicators of the type and size of housing
needed in a city. The Census defines a "household" as all persons occupying a housing
unit, which may include single persons living alone, families relatec! through marriage or
' II-4 Revised Draft—November 2010

blood; or unrelated persons sharing a single unit. Persons in group quarfers such as
dormitories, retirement or convalescent homes, or other group living situations are
incl�ded in population totals but are not considered households.
Table II-4 and Figure ii-4 provide a comparison of households by type for the City and Los
Angeles County as a whole as reported in the 2000 Census. Family households comprised
approximately 84% of all households in the City, about 16 percentage points higher than
the county composition of 68% of all households. There are far fewer non-family
households in Diamond Bar than the County as a whole (16.1% City vs. 31.8% county) as
well as singles living alone (12.5% City vs. 24.6% county). The City's average household
size of 3.18 is slightly higher than Los Angeles County as a whole (2.98). These statistics
suggest that that the need for large units in Diamond Bar may be slightiy higher than
other areas of the county.

2. Housing Tenure
Housing tenure (owner vs. renter) is an important indicator of the housing market.
Communities need an adequate supply of units available both for rent and for sale in
order to accommodate a range of hovseholds with varying income, family size and
composition, and lifestyle. lable il-5 and Figure II-5 provide a comparison of the number
of owner-occupied and renter-occupied units in the City in 2000 as compared to the
county as a whole. It reveals ihat the level of homeownership for the City (83�0) is much
higher than that for the county as a whole.

U.S. Census Burec�u considers a household to be overcrowded when there is more than
one person per room, excluding bathrooms and kitchens, and severely overcrowded
when there are more than 1.5 occupants per room.. Table II-6 and Figure II-6 summarize

5. Overpayment
Accordinr� to state housing policy, overpaying occurs when housing costs exceed 30% of
gross household income. Table II-8 displays estimates for overpayment in 1999 by lower-
income househoids. According to SCAG, 53.7% of all lower-income renter households
and 66.4% of all lower-income owner households in Diamond Bar were overpaying for
housing. Very-low-income owners appeared to suffer the greatest cost burden, with
75.?% of this category overpaying for housing.
Although homeowners enjoy income and property tax deductions and other benefits
that help to compensate for high housing costs, lower-income homeowners may need to
defer mainfienance or repairs due to limited funds, which can lead to deterioration. For

lower-income renters, severe cost burdens can require families to double up resulting in
overcrowding and related problems. The Housing Action Plan (Chapter V) includes
several programs that help to address the issue of overpayment, including Section 8
(Program 4), Preservation of Assisted Housing (Program 5), Senior and Workforce Housing
Development (Program 8), Land Use Element/Adequate Sites (Program 9), Mixed-Use
Development (Program 10), Second Units (Program 1 1), and Affordable Housing
Incentives/Density Bonus (Program 12). Other programs specifically designed for owner-
occupied units include Minor Home Repair and Single-Family Rehabilitation (Programs 2
& 3) and Mobile Home Park Preservation (Program 6).

California Department of Finance data indicates that between 2000 and 2007, single-
family detached homes represented approximately 91% of all new units added to
Diamond Bar's housing stock and 40% of all units added to the county as a whole. Single-
family attached units contributed 9% of the growth within Diamond Bar and 2% of the
growth in the county as a whole. No multi-family units were built in Diamond Bc�r during
this period, while 57% of new units in the county were �nulti-family. A more detailed
breakdown of recent construction in Diamond Bar is provided in Appendix A, Table A-2.
2. Housing Age and Conditions
Housing age is often an important indicator of housing condition. Housing units built prior
to 1978 before stringent limits on the amount of lead in paint were imposed may have
interior or exterior building components coated with lead-based paint. Housing units built
before 1970 are the most likely to need rehabilitation and to have lead-based paint in a
deteriorated condifion. Lead-based paint becomes hazardous to children under age six
and to pregnant women when it peels off walis or is pulverized by windows and doors
opening and closing.
Tabie II-14 and Figure II-9 show the age distribution of the housing stock in Diamond Bar
compared to Los Angeles County as a whole.
This table shows that the majority of the owner-occupied housing units in Diamond Bar
were constructed after 1970 (78%). In addition, a large percentage of #he rented units in
Diamond Bar were constructed after 1970 (89%). These findings suggest that there may
� be a need for maintenance and rehabilitation, including remediation of lead-based
paint, for approximately 21% of the owner-occupied units and 11% of the renter-
occupied units within the City's housing stock.

Table II-15 identifies the number of owner-occupied and renter-occupied housing units
lacking com�lete kitchen or plumbing facilities in the City and the county as a whole.
This table shows that renter-occupied housing units are more likely to lack complete
plumbing and kitchen facilities than owner-occupied units. Only 0.4% of owner-occupied
units lack complete plumbing as opposed to 0.6% of renter-occupied units. Additionally,
only 0.2% of owner-occupied units lack complete kitchen facilities while 0.6% of renter-

The majority of Diamond Bar's housing stock is in good condition. However, the City's
Neighborhood Improvement Office has identified four older neighborhoods
characterized with older housing beginning to exhibit signs of deferred maintenance
such as peeling paint, worn roofs, and cracked asphalt driveways. Table i1-16 summarizes
the physical problem conditions of these older residential neighborhoods. The Action
Pian establishes a program directed at improving housing stock in these areas through
targeted rehabilitation assistance. Fewer than 100 units are estimated to need rehabilita-
tion citywide, and no units require replacement.

3. Vacancy
Housing vacancy rates as reported in the 2000 Census are shown in Table II-17. The table
shows that vacancy rates in ihe City were relatively low, with 1.9�0 of rental units and 0.7%
of for-sale units available for rent or sale, respectively. The vacancy rate for the county
was at 3.3� for rental units and 1.6% for for-sale housing. Rentql vacancy rates in the 2%
range indica�e nearly full occupancy, and coniribu're to upward pressures on rents.

4. Housing Cost
Housing Affordability Criteria
State law establishes five income categories for purposes of housing programs based on
the area (i.e., county) median income ("AMI"): extremely-low (30% or less of AMI), very-
low (31-50�0 or AMI), low (51-80% of AMI), moderate (81-120% of AMI) and above
moderate (over 120% of AMI). Housing affordability is based on the relationship between
household income and housing expenses. According to HUD and the California
Department oi Housing and Community Development4, housing is considered
"affordable" if the monthly payment is no more than 30% of a household's gross income.
In some areas such as Los Angeles County, these income limits may be increased to
adjust for high housing costs.
Table II-18 shows affordable rent levels and estimated affordable purchase prices for
housing in Diamond Bar (and Los Angeles County)5 by income category. Based on state-
adopted standards, the maximum affordable monthly rent for extremely-low-income
households is $555, while the maximum affordable rent for very-low-income households is
$925. The maximum affordable rent for low-income households is $1,480, while the
maximum for moderate-income households is $1,695.

Maximum purchase prices are more difficult to determine due to variations in morfgage
interest rates and quafifying procedures, down payments, special tax assessments,
� homeowner association fees, property insurance rates, etc. With this caveat, the
maximum home purchase prices by income category shown in Table II-18 have been
estimated based on typical conditions.

Housing sales price statistics for the period January 2006 through August 2007 (Table II-19)
show that all new homes (both single-family detached and condo) sold for more than
$475,000, and nearly all resale single family homes sold for more than $500,000 during this

Based on the estima'red affordable purchase prices shown in Tc�ble II-18, only a very small
percentage of for-sale condo units were affordable io moderate-income residents, and
none were affordable io lower-income households. These data illustrate the fact that
public subsidies are required to reduce sales prices to a level thai is affordabie to low-
and modera're-income buyers. At a median price of $367,500, there is a "gap" of about
$150,000 beTween the market price and the maximum price c� moderate-income
household can afford to pay for a condo. For low-income households, this gap is about
$180,000. I hese statistics iliustrate why affordabie housing strc�tegies generally focus on
rental rather 'rhan ewnership housing, due to the smaller "affordability gap" for rental
units.
Rental Housing
Table II-20 and Figure II-10 show 2007 market data for rental c�partments in Diamond Bar
based on recent surveys of large complexes. The table shows that the average rent for
all surveyed units in Diamond Bar is �1,626 per month, which is substantially higher than

When market rents are compared to the amounts lower-income househoids can afford
to pay (Table II-18), it is clear that very-low- and extremely-low-income households have
a difficult time finding housing without overpaying. The gap between market rent for a
typical 2-bedroom 1-bath apartment ($1,548) and affordable rent at the very-low-
income level is about $620 per month, while the gap at the extremely-low-income level is
nearly $1,000 per month. However, at the low-income and moderate-income levels,
households are much more likely to find affordable rentals.
E. Special Needs
Certain groups have greater difficulty in finding decent, affordable housing due to
special circumstances. Such circumstances may be related to one's employment and
income, family characteristics, disability, or other conditions. As a result, some Diamond
Bar residents may experience a higher prevalence of overpayment, overcrowding, or
other housing problems.
State Housing Element law defines "special needs" groups to include persons with
disabilities, the elderly, large households, female-headed households with children,
homeless people, and farm workers. This section contains a discussion of the housing
needs facing each of these groups.
1. Persons with Disabilities
In 2000, approximately 3,613 people between 16 and 64 years of age, or about 9% of the
working age population, reported an employment disability (see Table II-21). Of those
aged 65 and over, 1,173 people (about 29%) reported some form of physical disability.
Reported disabilities inciuded persons whose disability hinders their ability to go outside
the home (6.3% of the working age population and 21.5� of the senior population).

Because persons with disabilities tend to have lower incomes than the general
population, their housing needs include both affordability and physical accessibility.
Housing opportunities ior the handicapped can be maximized through housing
assistance programs and providing universal design features such as widened doorways,
ramps, lowered countertops, single-level units and ground floor units. The Housing Action
Plan includes several programs that address the needs of this group, including Progrqm 2

2. Elderly
�n 2000, there were 1,974 households in Diamond Bar where the householder was 65 or
older (Table II-22). Of these, 6.1% were below the poverty level in 1999�. Many elderly
persons are dependent on fixed incomes or have disabilities. Elderly homeowners may '
be physically unable to maintain their homes or cope with living alone. The housing
needs of this group can be addressed through smaller units, second units on lots with '
existing homes, shared living arrangements, congregate housing and housing assistance
programs.

The elderly tend to have higher rates of disabilities than younger persons, therefore many
of the programs noted in the previous section also apply to seniors since their housing
needs include both affordability and accessibility.
3. Large Households
Household size is an indicator of need for Iarge units. Large households are defined as
those with five or more members. Approximately 39% of owner households and 46% of
renter households have only one or two members. About 15% of renter households and
about 17� of owners were large households with 5 persons or more (Table II-23 and
Figure II-11). This distribution indicates that the need for large units with four or more
bedrooms is expected to be significantly less than for smaller units. However, large
families needing units with more bedrooms, generally face higher hovsing costs, and as a
result may benefit from several types of assistance. The Housing Action Plan includes
several programs that address the needs of this group, including Program 2-Minor Home
Repair, Program 3-Single Family Rehabilitation, Program 4-Section 8 Rental Assistance,
Program 5 - Preservation of Assisted Housing, Program 6 - Mobile Home Park
Preservation, Program 8-Senior and Workforce Housing Development, Program 9- Land

5. Farm Workers
Farm workers are traditionally defined as persons whose primary income is from seasonal
agricultural work. Diamond Bar was at one time one of the largest working caftle ranches
in the western United States. However, urban development and shifts in the local
economy have significantly curtailed agricultural production within Los Angeles County.
Today, Diamond Bar is a mostly developed city, with a strong local economy that is no
� longer tied to an agricultural base.

The 2000 Census reported about 4,705 persons employed in agricultural occupations in
Los Angeles County, with only 20 of those living in Diamond Bar (Table II-25).
The nearest agricultural area to Diamond Bar is in San Bernardino County to the east.
Since there are no agricultural operations within Diamond Bar and housing costs are
significantly lower in the Inland Empire, there is no apparent need for farm worker
. housing in the City.

6. Homeless Persons
Homelessness is a coniinuing problem throughoui California and urban areas
nationwide. During �'r�e past two decades, an increasing number of single persons have
remained homeless yedr after year and have become ihe most visible of all homeless
persons. Other persons (parficularly r'amilies) have experienced shorter periods of
homelessnes�. However, they are often replaced by other r'amilies and individuais in a
seemingly enc�less cycle of homelessness.
A homeless count conducted by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) in
January 2007 indicated that on any given day there are an estimated 73,702 homeless
persons Los Angeles County. These include families that might be displaced through
evictions, women and children displaced through abusive r'amily life, persons with
substance abuse problems, veterans, or persons with serious mental illness. Diamond Bar
is located wiihin ihe San Grbriel Valley Service Planning Area (SPA), which has a
homeless estimate of 9,942 people. Estimates of the homeless population for each
jurisdiction are not provided. The San Gabriel SPA, along with the Meiro Los Angeles
area, saw increases in the number of homeless irom the prior count, while the remaining
six SPAs saw decreases in their homeless populc�tions (Table II-26).

Senate Bill 2 of 2007 requires that jurisdictions quantify the need for emergency shelters
and determine whether existing facilities are adequate to serve the need. If adequate
existing facilities are not available, the law requires jurisdictions to identifiy areas where
new faciliiies are permitted "by-right" (i.e., without requiring discretionary approval such
as a use permit), or to accommodate the need through a multi-jurisdictional agreemeni.
Conversations with police and other City staff indicated that there are no known
homeless persons in Diamond Bar. This is likely due to the suburban nature of the
community, and the fact that social services are more readily available in more
urbanizec� areas. I his was corroborated by the most recent point-in-time survey
conducted by LAHSA in the San Gabriel Valley on January 28, 2009, between the hours

of 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. Diamond Bar "opted in" to participate in the count by agreeing to
provide the necessary personnel to conduct the count within the census tracts
encompassing the City. By conducting the count itself, Diamond Bar had greater control
in ensuring a realistic estimate of the City's homeless population, rqther than being
forced to accept a potentially arbitrary estimate from LAHSA or the SGVCOG through a
sampling method. Eleven teams, comprised of 22 employees and 20 volunteers, drove
every public street, park and commercial area in search of homeless persons. No
homeless persons were found, but Diamond Bar is committed to complying with SB 2 by
amending its zoning regulations to identify a zone that can accommodate at least one
emergency shelter by right.
Although there are currently no emergency shelter or transitional housing facilities within
Diamond Bar, a number of such facilities and supportive services are available in nearby
cities such as Pomona and Whittier (see Appendix C for a listing of these facilities
compiled by LAHSA). In addition, the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments
recently initiated a study of homelessness, guided by the Homeless Services Steering
Committee9. This study is expected to develop recommendations toward a
comprehensive, multi-jurisdictional strategy for addressing the needs of the homeless in
the vailey. In response to SB 2, Pragram 12 has been included in the Housing Action Plan
to amend the Municipal Code to encourage and facilitate emergency shelters and
transitional housing.
F. Assisted Housing at Risk of Conversion
This section identifies all residential projects in the City that are under an affordability
restriction, along with those housing projects that are at risk of losing their low-income
affordability restrictions within the ten-year period from 2008 to 2018. This information is
used in establishing quantified objectives for units that can be conserved during this
planning period. The inventory of assisted units includes all units that have been assisted
under any federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), state, local
and/or other programs.
1. Inventory of Assisted Units
The City of Diamond Bar has one assisted housing project for seniors, the 149-unit Seasons
Apartments (formerly "Heritage Park"). Constructed in 1988, this project predates City
incorporation and was originally financed under the Los Angeles County Multi-family
Mortgage Revenue Bond program. The project was refinanced in November, 1999 under
the California Community Development Authority's Multifamily Housing Re-funding Bond.
According to the terms of the new bond agreement, income restrictions for residents
and corresponding rent limits were set. For the duration of the bond which expires
12/O1/2034, all units will be affordable: 30 units (20%) will be very-low-income at SO% AMI,
82 units (55%) will be low-income at 80% AMI, and 37 units (25%) will be moderate-income
defined crs 100% AMI. The Seasons Apartments are owned by the Corporate Fund for
Housing, a non-profit organization. Long-term affordability of the project is assured for the

2. Units at Risk of Conversion
There are no units at risk oi conversion during the 2008 to 2018 perioc�.
G. Future Growth Needs
1 . Overview of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment
The Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) is a key tool for local governmenis to
plan for dnticipated growth. The RHNA quantifies the anticipated need for housing within
each jurisdiction for the 8%2-year period from Januc�ry 2006 to July 2014. Communities
then deiermine how they will address this need through the process of updating the
Housing Elemenis of their General Plans.
The current RHNA was adopted by the Southern California Association of Governments
(SCAG) in July 2007. The future need for housing is determined primarily by the
forecasted growth in households in a community. Each new household created by a
child moving out o� a parent's home or by a family moving to a community ior
employment creates the need for a housing unit. ihe housing need ior new households is
then adjusted io maintain a desirable level of vacancy to promote housing choice and
mobility. An aQjustment is also made to account for units expected io be lost due to
demolition, naiural disaster, or conversion to non-housing uses. The sum of these factors -
household growth, vacancy need, and replacement need - determines the construction
need for a community. Total housing need is then distributed among four income
categories on ihe basis of the county's income distribution, with adjustments to avoid an
over-concer�tration of lower-income households in any community.
2e 2006-2014 Diamond Bar Growth Needs
In July 2007 SCAG, adopted the final RHNA growih needs for each of the county's cities
plus the unincorporated area. The total housing growth need for the City of Diamond Bar
during the 2006-2014 planning period is 1,090 units. This total is distributed by income
category as shown in Table II-27.

It should be noted that SCAG did not identify growth needs for the extremely-low-
income category in the adopted RHNA. As provided in Assembly Bill (ABJ 2634 of 2006,
jurisdictions may determine their extremely-low-income need as one-half the need in the
very-low category. -
All new units built or preserved after January 1, 2006 may be credited against the current
RHNA allocation. A discussion of the City's net remaining growth need is provided in the
land inventory section of Chapter I�I.
In 2009 the City of Diamond Bar completed the annexation of a 116.6-acre portion of
unincorporated Los Angeles County (Annexation 2007-20). As part of the annexation
agreement, Diamond Bar accepted a RHNA transfer of 8 units from Los Angeles County
with the income distribution as indicated in Table II-27.

III. RESOURCES AND OPPOR?UNITIES
� A variety of resources are available for the development, rehabilitation, and preservation
of housing in the City of Diamond Bar. This chapter provides a description of the land
resources and adequate sites to address the City's regional housing need allocation,
and discusses the financial and administrative resources available to support the
provision of affordable housing. Additionally, opporfunities for energy conservation thaf
can lower utility costs and increase housing affordability are addressed.
A. Land Resources
1. Regional Growth Needs -2006-2014
In accordance with Government Code §65584, projected housing needs for each city
and county in the Southern California region are prepared by the Southern California
Association of Governments (SCAG) under a process known as the Regional Housing
Needs Assessment (RHNA). SCAG's Regional Council adopted the final Regional Housing
Need Allocation in July 2007. The RHNA covers the 8'h-year planning period of January l,
2006 to June 30, 2014.
The RHNA process began with an update of the population and household forecasts for
both the region as a whole and for each county. These forecasts were largely derived
from state Department of Finance (DOF) population forecasts and modified by regional
demographic modeling efforts by SCAG. SCAG then disaggregated the regional and
county forecasts to each jurisdiction and estimated the number of dwelling units needed
to achieve�regional target vacancy rates (2.3% owner-occupied and 5% rental) and to
account for projected housing demolitions. The total housing need for each jurisdiction
was then distributed by income category (very low, low, moderate and upper income).
In jurisdictions with higher proportions of existing lower-income households (as compared
to the countywide average), SCAG adjusted the allocations such that the lower-income
share of growth need is reduced to avoid over concentration. Subsequent to the
preparation of the RHNA, Diamond Bar completed the annexation of a portion of
unincorporated territory and accepted a RHNA transfer of 8 units as part of the
annexation agreement. The final RHNA aliocation for Diamond Bar was discussed
previously in Chapter II.
All new units built or preserved after January 1, 2006 are credited in the current RHNA
period. Table III-1 shows the City's RHNA allocation, new units built during 2006 and 2007,
and the net remaining growth need. A detailed tabulation of units built is provided in

2. Inventory of Sites for Housing Development
Section 65583(a)(3) of tne Govemment Code requires Housing Elements to contain an
"inventory o` land suitable ior residential development, incluc�ing vacant sites and sites
having poiential for redevelopment, and an analysis of ihe relationship of zoning and
public iacili�ies and services to ihese sites." A detailed analysis of vqcant land and
potential redevelopment opportunities is provided in Appendix B. The results of ihis
analysis are summarized in Table III-2 below. The table shows that the City's land
inventory, including projects qpproved and the potential development of vacant and
underutilized parcels, is adeq�aie to accommodate the net remaining RHNA for this
planning period in the moderate and above-moderate categories but not the lower-
income categories. Program 9 in Chapter V addresses the requirement to provide
additional lower-income sites during the planning period. That program commits to
identifying and rezoning at least 15.6 acres of land suitable for multi-iamily development
by-right d'r a density of at least 30 units per acre in order to provide adequate sites for a
minimum of 466 lower-income units during this planning period.

City of Diamond Bar Housing Element III. Resources and Opportunities
A discussion of public facilities and infrastructure needed to serve future development is
contained in Section IV. B, Non-Governmentai Constraints. There are currently no known
service limitations that woufd preclude the level of development described in the RHNA,
although developers will be required to pay fees or construct public improvements prior
to or concurrent with development.
B. Financial and Administrative Resources
� 1. State and Federal Resources
Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) - Federal funding for
- housing programs is available through the Department of Housing and Urban Develop-
ment (HUD). Diamond Bar participates in the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) program and receives its al�ocation of CDBG funds through the Los Angeles
County Housing and Community Development Department. The CDBG program is very
flexible in that the funds can be used for a wide range of activities. The eligible activities
include, but are not limited to, acquisition and/or disposition of reai estate property,
public facilities and improvements, relocation, rehabilitation and construction of housing,
homeownership assistance, and clearance activities. On December 3, 2002 the City
Council approved the establishment of a Home Improvement Program (HIP) to provide
housing rehabilitation assistance to qualified low- and moderate-income households.
CDBG funds are allocated to the HIP on an annual basis. HIP funds are used for exterior
property improvements and for repairs to alleviate health and safety issues and to
correct code violations. In addition, HIP funds may be used to improve home access to
disabled persons and for the removal of lead based paint hazards.
The Community Development Block Grant Allocation for the 2006-2007 Program Year
was $383,090, which included an allocation for the HIP of $116,197. Under CDBG
regulations, the HIP is eligible to receive unexpended CDBG funds from the previous fiscal
year that are reallocated by the Los Angeles County Community Development
Commission. An additional $150,000 from the 2005-2006 fiscal year was reallocated to the
2006-2007 fiscai year bringing the total allocation for the HIP to $266,197. Since the 2003-
2004 fiscal year, a total of 10 very-low-, 12 low-, and 21 moderate-income households
have participated in the HIP.
Since Program Year 2005-2006, the allocation of fhe Community Development Block
Grant has consistently been reduced 3� each program year. Therefore, the City
anticipates receiving approximately $360,000 per year in CDBG funds from the County
during the current planning period.
Section 8 Rental Assisfance - The City of Diamond Bar cooperates with the
Housing Authority of the County of Los Angeles (HACoLAJ, which administers the Section
8 Voucher Program. The Section 8 program provides rental assisfance to low-income
persons in need of affordable housing. There are two types of subsidies under Section 8:
certificates and vouchers. A certificate pays the difference between the fair market rent
and 30% of the tenant's monthly income, while a voucher allows a tenant to choose
housing that may cost above the fair market figure, with the tenant paying the extra
III-3 Revised Draft-November 2010
.. •r�
City of Diamond Bar Housing Element III. Resources and Opporfunities
cost. The voucher also allows the tenant to rent a unit below the fair market rent figure
with the tenont keeping the savings.
As of October 2007 there were 59 households in the City of Diamond Bar receiving
Section 8 ren�al assistance; 39 of those households were elderfy, and 20 of those were
disabled. There ore no non-elderly, disabled households served by Section 8 in the City of
Diamond Bar. The esiimated annual Housing Assistance Payment for those households is
$536,000.
Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program - The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit
Program was created by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 to provide �n alternate method oi
funding low-�nd moderate-income housing. Each state receives a tax credii, based
upon population, towara iunding housing that meets program guidelines. The tax creclits
are then usea to leverage private capital into new construction or acquisition and
rehabiliiation of affordable housina. Limitations on projects funded under the Tax Credit
programs include minimum requirements that a certain percentage of units remain rent-
restricted, based upon median income, for a term oi 15 years.
2. Local Resources
City� of Endustry Redevelopment Set-Aside Funds - As a predominantly industrial
communit;�, the City of Industry is permitted under Senate Bill 1718 to expend its housing
tax incremenT set-aside iunds on affora'able housing within a 15 mile radius from the
corporate limit� ot 'rhe City of Industry. The City of Diamond Bar is located within the 1 S-
mile radius. !nciustry Funds are administered by the Housing puthority of the County of Los
Angeles (HtiCoLA) and help fund affordable rental housing for Non-Special Needs and
Special Neeas populations, and affordable Homeownership developments. Since the
program began, over $165 million in Industry Funds have leveraged over $1.1 billion from
other funding sources to help create over 7,900 units of affordable housing throughout
Los Angeles County.
Tax Exempt Mufti-Family Revenue Bonds - The consiruction, acquisition, and
rehabilitation of multi-family rental housing developments can be funded by tax exempt
bonds which provide a lower interest rate than is available through conventional
financing. Projects financed through these bonds are required to set aside 20% of the
units for occupancy by very low-income households or 40% of the units to be set aside for
households at 60% of the area median income (AMI). Tax exempt bonds for muiti-family
housing may also be issued to refinance existing tax exempt debi, which is referred to as
a refundinc� bond issue,
The Seasons Diamond Bar Senior Apartments was refinanced in 1999 under the California
Community Development Authority's Multifamily Housing Re-funding Bond. According to
the terms o� the new bond agreement, income restrictions for residents and
correspondin� rent limits were set. For the duration of the bond which expires in
December of 2�34, all units wiil be affordable: 30 units will be very low income at 50%
AMI, 82 units �n�ill be low income at 80% AMI, and 37 units will be moderate income at
100% AMI. The Seasons Apartments are owned by the Corporate Fund for Housing, a
non-profit organization.

City of Diamond Bar Housing Element Iil. Resources and Opportunities
Housing Agreements - The City can assist in the development of new affordable
housing units by entering into Disposition Development Agreements (DDA) or Owner
Parficipation Agreements (OPA) with developers. DDAs or OPAs may provide for the
disposition of Agency-owned land at a price which can support the development of
units at an affordable housing cost for low- and moderate-income households. These
agreements may also provide for development assistance, usually in the form of a
density bonus or the payment of specified development fees or other development
costs which cannot be supported by the proposed development.
Mortgage Credit Certificates- The Mortgage Credit Certificates (MCCJ program is
designed to help low- and moderate-income first-time homebuyers qualify for
conventional first mortgage loans by increasing the homebuyer's after-tax income. The
MCC is a direct tax credit for eligible homebuyers equal to 20% of the mortgage interest
paid during the year. The other 80% of mortgage interest can still be taken as an income
deduction. Diamond Bar is a parficipating city in the County-run MCC program and has
issued 3 MCCs from the period of July 2001 to June 2007. The maximum gross annual
income limits in order to be eligible for the MCC program is $88,800 for one- to two-
person households and $103,132 for households of three or more.
Home Ownership Program - The Home Ownership Program (HOP) provides
assistance to low-income, first-time homebuyers in purchasing a home. It is administered
by the County of Los Angeles Community Development Commission's Housing
Development and Preservation Division. The program has provided hundreds of Los
Angeles County residents with the means to afford to fulfill their dream of home
ownership. During the period from July 2001 through April 2007, there have been five HOP
loans funded in the City of Diamond Bar. The maximum gross annual income limits
effective as of April 12, 2008 are as follows:
• 1 person household: $42,450
• 2 person household: $48,500
• 3 person household: $54,600
• 4 person household: $60,650
• 5 person household: $65,500
• 6 person household: $70,350
• 7 person household: $75,200
• 8 person household: $80,050
Southern California Home Financing Authority Programs - The Southern California
Home Financing Authority (SCHFA) has a program which assists first time homebuyers by
offering below-market interest rate loans to qualified borrowers. The County does not
make home loans. The applicant must go through the normal process of finding a home
and arranging financing with a Participating Lender. The maximum mortgage is $417,000.
Fannie Mae Down Payment Assistance Program-The Federal National Mortgage
Association, better known as "Fannie Mae," offers a program that provides second
mortgages to homeowners. The second mortgage can serve as the down payment and
closing casts on home purchases. Under this program, a city or county is required to post
a reserve fund equal to 20% of an amount that Fannie Mae then makes available for
such mortgages.
III-5 Revised Draft-November 2010
City of Diamond Bar Housing Element III. Resources and Opportunities
Non-Profit Organizations - Non-profit organizations play a major role in the
development of a�fordable housing in Los Angeles County. The Community
Development Commission of Los Angeles County supplements its o�vn efforts of
producing af�ordable housing by entering into partnerships with private sector and non-
profit developers and housing development corporations.
C. Energy Conservation Opportunities
As residential energy costs rise, the subsequent increasing �tility costs reduce the
affordability o� housing. Although the City is mostly developed, new infill development
and rehabili�ation activities could occur, allowing the City to directly afiect energy use
within its jurisaiction.
State of Caliiornia Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential
Buildings were established in 1978 in response to a legislative mandate to reduce
California's energy consumption. The standards are codiiiec! in Title 24 of the California
Code of Regulations and are updated periodically to allow consideration and possible
incorporation of new energy efficiency technologies and methods. Caliiornia's buiiding
eificiency siandards (along with those for energy efficient appliances) have saved more
than $56 billion in electricity and naiural gas costs since 1978. It is estimated the
standards will save an addiiionai $23 billion by 2013�0.
Title 24 sets forth mandatory energy standards and requires the adoption of an "energy
budgei" ior all new residential buildings and additions to residential buildings. Separate
requirements are adopted for "low-rise" resideniial construction (i.e., no more than three
stories) and non-residential buildings, which includes hotels, motels, and mul'ri-family
residential buildings with four or more habitable stories. The standards specify energy
saving design ior lighting, walls, ceilings and floor installations, as well as heating and
cooling equipment and systems, gas cooling devices, conservation standards and the
use of non-�epleting energy sources, such as solar energy or wind power. The home
building industry must comply with these standards while localities are responsible for
enforcing the energy conservation regulations through the plan check and building
inspection processes.
In addition io state energy regulations, the City encourages energy efficiency through its
participa.tion in the Single-Family Rehabilitation Program, which provides low- and
moderate-income households funds for home improvements that may include insulation
and energy-efficient windows and doors. The City also encourages mixed-use
development, which facilitates energy efficiency by reducing vehicular trip lengths.
Program 10 in the Housing Action Plan (Chapter V) describes how the City intends to
pursue mixed-use development in the Tres Hermanos property, one of the largest
remaining uncleveloped areas in the city. Recycling is cnother area where the City
encourages energy conservation. Each year the City publishes and distributes the Enviro-
Link newsletter, which informs residents on opportunities for recycle and minimize waste.

City of Diamond Bar Housing Element IV. Constraints
IV. CONSTRAINTS
In planning for the provision of housing, constraints to the development, maintenance
and improvement of housing must be recognized, and jurisdictions must take
appropriate steps to mitigate them where feasible. Local government cannot control
many of these constraints, such as those related to general economic and market
conditions, but others can be addressed. Potential constraints to housing are discussed
below, and include governmental and non-governmental constraints.
A. Governmental Constraints
Governmental regulations, while intentionally controlling the quality of development in
the community can also unintentionally increase the cost of development and thus the
cost of housing. These governmental constraints include land use controls, building codes
and their enforcement, site improvements, fees and other exactions required of
developers, and local development processing and permit procedures.
Land use controls may limit the amount or density of development, thus increasing the
cost per unit. On-site and off-site improvements such as roads, traffic signals on adjacent
streets, or sewer systems may increase an individual project's costs of development.
Processing and permit reqvirements may delay construction, increasing financing and/or
overhead costs of a development. The following section describes potential govern-
mental constraints, which may affect the supply and cost of housing in Diamond Bar.
1. Land Use Plans and Regulations
General Plan
Each city and county in California must prepare a comprehensive, long-term General
Plan to guide its future. The land use element of the General Plan establishes the basic
land uses and density of development within the various areas of the City. Under state
law, the General Plan elements must be internally consistent and the City's zoning must
� be consistent with the General Plan. Thus, the land use plan must provide suitable
locations and densities to implement the policies of the Housing Element.
The Diamond Bar General Plan Land Use Element provides for six residential land use
� designations, as shown in Table IV-1.

'Density expressec in dwellino units per gross acre.
The majority ci the land area within the City is developed or is designated for residential
use. The Land Use Element of the Diamond Bar General Plan designates approximately
5,824 acres (61%) of ihe City's total land inventory for residential uses, providing for a
range of resir�ential iypes and densities throughout ihe City.
Planning Areas and Specific Plans
In addition to the six residential land use distric#s, the Land Use Element provides �or
residential uses within the Specific Plan and Planning Area classifications. Development
within areas designated Specific Plan or Planning Area are processed through use of a
master plar or specific plan, a planned unit development, or similar mechanism, and
development intensities must be consistent wifih those specified in the General Plan.
Specific Plan and Planning Area projects must provide a greater level of community
amenities and cohesiveness, achieve superior design, and create a more desirable living
environment 'rhan could be achieved through conventional subdivision design and
requirements. I he Land Use Element identifies four mixed-use Planning Areas within the
City of Diamond Bar, two of which are intended to contain residentiql uses: PA 1, which
encompasses approximately 720 acres and is intended ior agricultural uses, residential
uses at a clensity of one dwelling unit per five acres, commercial uses not typical of the
area, c�nd education/institutional uses; PA 2, which encompasses approximately 400
acres and allows for a maximum of 130 single-family detached units and open space. PA
3, which encompasses approximately 55 acres and allows for 200 units with a mix of
single-rc�mily detached homes and condominiums, commercial, religious assembly and
open sp�ce; and PA 4, which encompasses approximately 82 acres and is intended for
99 single-farnily homes and open space.

• City of Diamond Bar Housing Element IV. Constraints
Zoning Designations �
The City regulates the type, location, density, and scale of residential development
through the Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map. Zoning regulations serve to implement
the General Plan and are designed to protect and pramote the health, safety, and
general welfare of residents. The Zoning Ordinance also helps to preserve the character
and integrity of existing neighborhoods. The Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map set forth
residential development standards for each zoning district.
The six zoning districts that allow residential units as a permitted use are as follows:
RR Rurai Residential
RL Low Density Residential
RLM Low Medium Density Residential
RM Medium Density Residential
RMH Medium High Density Residential
RH High Density District
A summary of the development standards for the six major zoning districts permitting
residential development is provided in Table IV-2. Adopted in 1998, these development
standards are reasonabty necessary to protect the public health, safety and welfare,
maintain quality of life, and are not considered to be constraints to the development of
housing.

The Zoning Ordinance provides ior a variety of housing types including single-family
homes (boih attached and deiached), multi-family (both rental and condominiums),
manufactured housing, special needs housing, and second units. Low-income housing
can be accommodated in all residential districts.
Effect of Zoning and Development Standards on Housing Supply and
Affordability
Zoning regulations and development standards can affect the feasibility of development
projects, particularly housing that is affordable to lower- and moderate-income
householcls. The most significant of these standards is density. Higher densities generally
result in lower per-unit land costs, thereby reducing overall development cost, although
this is not always the case. For example, at some point higher density may require more
expensive construction methods such as parking in structures or below-grade garages.
The maximum residential density currently permitted in Diamond Bar is 20 dwelling units
per acre, excluding any aliowable density bonus.
Pursuant to HB 2348 of 2004, the "default density" for Diamond Bar is 30 dweliing units per
acre'�. The deiault density refers to the density at which lower-income housing
developmer�t is presumed to be feasible, although state law allows jurisdictions to

ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
INITIAL STUDY
1. Project Title: 2008-2014 Housing Element Update
2. Lead Agency Name and Address: City of Diamond Bar
21825 Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, CA 91765
3. Contact Person and Phone Number: Greg Gubman, AICP, Community Development Director
(909) 839-7065
4. Applicant Name and Address: City of Diarnond Bar
5. Project Location: Citywide
6. General Plan Designation: Citywide
7. Project Description (describe the whole action involved, including, but not limited to, later phases of
the project, and any secondary, support, or off-site features that are necessary for its
implementation):
California Government Code Section 65302(c) mandates that each city shall include a Housing Element in
its General Plan. The Housing Element is required to identify and analyze existing and projected housing
needs, and include statements of the City's goals, policies, quantified objectives, and scheduled programs
for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing. The City, in adopting its Housing Element,
must consider economic, environmental, and fiscal factors, as well as community goals as set forth in the
General Plan. However, while cities generally have considerable flexibility in drafting the other elements of
their General Plan, the Housing Element must comply with the detailed statutory provisions of the
California Government Code, which are codified in Section 65580 et seq.
The Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA), presented in Table II-27 of the draft Housing Element,
identifies Diamond Bax's "fair share" of the regional housing need for the planning period July 2006
through June 2014 as 1,090 units. This total includes 284 very-low income units, 179 low-income units,
188 moderate-income units, and 439 above-moderate units. In 2009 the City of Diamond Bar completed the
annexation of a 116.6-acre portion of unincorporated Los Angeles County (Aruiexation 2007-20). As part
of the annexation agreement, Diamond Bar accepted a RHNA transfer of 8 units from Los Angeles County
with an income distribution as indicated in Housing Element Table II-27. As a result, the City's RHNA
obligation increased from 1,090 units to 1,098 units. State law requires the City to demonstrate that its
"land inventory" contains adequate sites to accommodate the various types of units that have been allocated
in the RHNA.
, In accordance with Government Code Section 65583 et seq., the residential density (excluding any density
bonus) presumed to be adequate to facilitate development of lower-income housing in most metropolitan
- areas, including Diamond Bar, is 30 units/acre. There are currently no vacant or underutilized sites in
Diamond Bar with zoning that allows residential development at densities greater than 20 units/acre,
excluding density bonus. Accordingly, the City must rezone at least 15.6 acres of land to accommodate the
February 2011 -1- Diamond Bar Housing Element Initial Study
development of 466 lower-income units at a density of 30 units/acre commensurate with the RI-�NA. The
Housing Element (Program 9) contains a commitment to identify parcels totaling at least 15.6 acres to be
rezoned to allow multi-family residential development by-right at a density of 30 units/ac to meet the City's
obligations under the RHNA for the 2008-2014 planning period. It is important to note, however, that the
Housing Element itself will not change any zoning, as that process will occur subsequent to the Housing
Element adoption process. The sites to be considered for rezoning are located within the Tres Hermanos
area and are summarized in Appendix B, Table B-2 of the Housing Element. In connection with the
rezoning, a new "Very High Density" land use category will also be established in the General Plan and
Development Code.
While the program to rezone land for affordable housing is considered the most significant land use and
environmental issue related to the Housing Element update, other policies and programs contained in
Chapter V of the Housing Element include the following:
Consef-ving tlze Existing Supply of Affordable Housi�zg
• Residential Neighborhood Improvement Program (Program 1)
• Home Improvement and Paint the Town (Program 2}
• Single-Family Rehabilitation Program (Program 3)
• Section 8 Rental Assistance Program(Program 4)
• Preservation of Assisted Housing (Program 5)
• Mobile Home Park Preservation (Program 6)
Assisting in the Provision of Housing
• First-Time Homebuyer Assistance Programs (Program 7)
• Senior and Workforce Housing Development(Program 8)
Providing Adequate Housing Sites to Achieve a Variety and Diversity of Housing
• Land Use Element and Zoning (Program 9)
• Mixed-Use Development (Program 10)
• Second Units (Program 11)
• Emergency Shelters and Transitional/Supportive Housing(Program 12)
• Redevelopment of Underutilized Sites (Program 13)
Removing Governmental Constraints
• Affordable Housing Incentives/Density Bonus (Program 14)
• Efficient Project Processing(Program 15) `
Promoting Equal Housing Opportunities
• Fair Housing Program (Program 16)
• Reasonable Accommodation for Persons with Disabilities (Program 17)
The major focus of these programs is to improve the quality of the city's housing stock, conserve existing
neighborhoods, increase housing affordability, and remove potential constraints to housing for persons with
special needs.
February 2011 -2- Diamond Bar Housing Element Initial Study
8. Surrounding Land Uses and Environmental Setting(describe the project's surroundings):
The Housing Element is a General Plan policy document and encompasses the entire city.
9. Public agencies whose approval or participation is required (i.e., for permits, financing approval, or
participation agreements): .
Sta.te law requires that the City submit the draft Housing Element to the State Department of Housing and
Community Development (HCD) for review prior to its adoption, and that the City Council consider HCD's
comments. The Draft Housing Element was submitted to HCD for review on August 11, 2008, June 3,
2009, May 24, 2010, and November 19, 2010, and on January 18, 2011 a letter was received from HCD
sta.ting that the element would comply with state law when adopted. The revised draft Housing Element
incorporates numerous changes made in response to HCD comments.
Review of specific development proposals by other governmental agencies may be required prior to
development of new housing anticipated in the Housing Element. Appropriate public agency review will be
determined at the time specific development applications are submitted.

February 2011 -4- Diamond Bar Housing Element Initial Study
EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except"No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the
information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is
adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects
like the one involved (e.g. the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be
explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards(e.g. the project will not expose
sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis).
2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as
Y well as project-level, indirect as well as direct,and construction as well as operational impacts.
3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur,then the checklist answers must
indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant.
"Potentially Significant ImpacY' is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If
there are one or more"Potentially Significant Impact"entries when the determination is made,an EIR is required.
4) "Negative Declaration: Potentially Significant Unless Mitigarion Incorporated"applies where the incorporation of
mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less Significant Impact."
The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less
than significant level(mitigation measures from Section 17, "Earlier Analysis,"may be cross-referenced).
5} Earlier analysis may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has
been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063 (c}(3)(d). In this case, a brief
discussion should identify the following:
(a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review.
(b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of
and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether
such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.
(c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are"Less than Signiftcant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated,"
describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the
extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.
�'`
6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential
impacts (e.g. general plans, zonin.g ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should,
where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated.
7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals
contacted should be cited in the discussion.
8) This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies should
normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental effects in
whatever format is selected.
9) The analysis of each issue should identify: (a)the significance criteria or threshold used to evaluate each question;
and(b)the mitigation measure identified, if any,to reduce the impact to less than significance.

d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect X
day or ni httime views in the area?
Explanations:
l.a-d. The Housing Element identifies a need for 1,098 new housing units during the 2008-2014 planning period. Some new
development is expected to occur in urbanized areas as in-fill or redevelopment. This type of development would not be expected to
substantially alter the aesthetic character of the site,and in most cases would be expected to improve the aesthetic character of the
neighborhood. A significant portion of new development would be expected to occur on land that is currently vacant,and would
therefore result in the conversion of open space to urban use. However,without specific details regarding such future developments,
it is not possible to determine or analyze potential visual impacts with any precision. All future developments will be required to
conform to the General Plan Land Use Element,zoning regulations and development standards,and therefore would not be expected
to create a negative aesthetic effect on the City's visual qualities. New housing development could also create new sources of light
and glare due to exterior lighting, lighting of streets and walkways, and interior lighting that could be visible from the outside. Prior
to approval,each new development will be reviewed to ensure compliance with all appropriate development standards to mitigate any
potential aesthetic impacts. No significant impacts are expected to occur and no mitigation measures are necessary in connection
with this Housing Element amendment. At the time zone changes are considered,potential impacts will be analyzed and mitigation
measures will be adopted as appropriate in conformance with CEQA.
2. AGRICULTURE RESOURCES. In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant, lead agencies may
refer to the California Agricultura] Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model(1997)prepared by the Califomia Department of
Conservation as an o tiona] model to use in assessing im acts on a riculture and farmland. Would the roject:
a) Convert Prime Farmland,Unique Farmland,or Farmland of Statewide X
Importance,as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and
Monitorin ProQram of the California Resources Agency,to non-a ricultural use?
b) Conflict with existina zonin for a icultural use,or a Williamson Act contract? }{
c) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location X
or nature,could result in the conversion of Farmland to non-a icultural use?
Ex�lanations:
2.a-c. The Housing Eleznent identifies a need for 1,098 new housing units during the 2008-2014 planning period. While some new
development would be expected to occur in urbanized areas as in-fill or redevelopment, a significant portion of new development
would be expected to occur on land that is currently vacant, and would therefore result in the conversion of open space to urban use.
However,none of the sites currently designated for residential development contain prime fartnland, unique farmland, or farmland of
statewide importance,nor are any such sites currently used for farming. Therefore no significant impacts are expected to occur and
no mitigation measures are necessary in connection with this Housing Element amendment. At the time zone changes are considered,
potential impacts to agricultural resources will be analyzed and mitigation measures will be adopted as appropriate in conformance
with CEQA.

Exnlanations:
3.a-e. Diamond Bar is located within the South Coast Air Basin and therefore is included within the South Coast Air Quality
Management District's Air Quality Management Plan. New development anticipated in the Housing Element would generate
pollutant emissions due to new vehicle trips,use of equipment,and off-site power and natural gas generation. Construetion vehicles
and activities would also generate emissions during the construction phases of individual development projects. Air pollutant
emissions associated with the project could occur over the short-term for demolition,site preparation and construction activities to
support the proposed land use. In addition,emissions could result from the long-term operation of new developments.
Short-Term Construction-Retated Impacts
Air quality impacts may occur during the site preparation and construction activities related to new housing development. Sources of
emissions during this phase include exhaust emissions generated during demolition of an existing structure,site preparation and
subsequent construction.
To minimize construction related air quality impacts,future development projects will be required to comply with SCAQMD Rule
403. Additionally,future development projects will be evaluated for potential construction-related air quality impacts. Where
appropriate,mitigation measures will be required to reduce potential construction-related air quality impacts. The proposed
amendments to the Housing Element,Land Use Element and Development Code would nat be expected to result in a substantial
change in short-term air quality impacts beyond those previously analyzed in the General Plan EIR since site preparation and
construction activities for new developments under the proposed regulations would be similax to those for the type of development
that is currently permitted.
Long-Term Air Quality Impacts
Long-term air quality impacts are those associated with the emissions produced from project-generated vehicle trips as well as from
stationary sources related to the use of natural gas and electricity for heating,cooling,lighting,etc. Without specific details regarding
future development,such as unit types and vehicle trips,it is not possible to accurately quantify long-term emissions. However,the
amendments to land use plans and regulations called for in Program 9(creation of a Very High Density land use category and
rezoning of 15.6 acres of land)would not be expected to result in long-term air quality impacts beyond those previously analyzed in
the General Plan EIR since the total amount of new development under these amended regulations is expected to remain consistent
, with the long-term growth forecast. As part of the review process for the proposed zone changes,potential air quality impacts will be
evaluated and appropriate mitigation measures will be adopted. No significant impacts would occur and no mitigation measures are
necessary in connection with this Housing Element amendment.

Explanations:
4.a-d. The Housing Element identifies a need for 1,098 new housing units during the 2008-2014 planning period. While some new
development would be expected to occur in urbanized areas as in-fill or redevelopment, a significant portion of new development
would be expected to occur on land that is cunently vacant,and would therefore result in the conversion of open space to urban use.
Some of these areas could contain sensitive vegetation or wildlife habitat_ As part of the planning and review process for the
proposed zone changes and new developments,potential impacts to biological resources will be evaluated and appropriate mitigation
measures will be adopted. No significant impacts would occur and no mitigation measures are necessary in connection with this
Housing Element amendment.
4.e. The Diamond Bar Municipal Code contains tree preservation regulations,which are codified under Chapter 22.38(Tree
Preservation and Protection}. The ordinance defines"protected trees,"and specific requirements are described for protecting or
mitigating their removal. Permits are required for pruning or removal of protected trees,which include native oak,walnut, sycamore
and willow trees,or pepper trees with a diameter(DBH)of eight inches or greater. All residential developments anticipated in the
Housing Element that could impact such trees will be required to comply with the provisions of this ordinance,which will reduce
potential impacts to a level that is less than significant. No mitigation measures are necessary at this time.
4.f. There is no adopted Habitat Conservation Plan,Natural Conservation Community Plan,or other local,regional, or state habitat
conservation plan within Diamond Bar. No mitigation measures are necessary at this time.

uni ue eolo ic featw-es?
d) Disturb any human remains,including those interred outside of formal K
cemeteries?
Explanations:
S.a-d. The Housing Element identifies a need for 1,098 new housing units during the 2008-2014 plarming period. While some new
development would be expected to occur in urbanized areas as in-fill or redevelopment,a significant portion of new development
would be expected to occur on land that is currently vacant,and would therefore result in the conversion of open space to urban use.
Some of these areas could contain sensitive cultural,archaeological or paleontological resources. As part of the planning and review
process for the proposed zone changes and new developments,potential impacts to cultural resources will be evaluated and
appropriate mitigation measures will be adopted. No significant impacts would occur and no mitigation measwes are necessary in
connection with this Housing Element amendment.
6. GEOLOGY AND SOILS. Would the ro'ect:

(d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-a-B of the Uniform �{
Buildin Code 1994),creatin substantial risks to life or ro e ?
(e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or X
alternative waste water disposal systems where sewers are not available for the
dis osal of waste water?
Explanations:
6.a-e. Diamond Bar is located in a seismically acrive region containing active faults. These faults have the potential to expose people
or structures to significant impacts as a result of a fault rupture and seismic ground shaking. Parts of the city may contain expansive
or unstable soils that have the potential to cause structural damage. In addition,grading associated with future development could
result in substantial soil erosion. While it is not possible to determine specific potential impacts related to future developments at this
time,some general requirements designed to minimize geological impacts will appiy to all new development. These include
compliance with the Alquist-Priolo Act,the Uniform Building Code,Title 24 of the California Building Code,and the standards of
� the Structural Engineers Association of California. Compliance with these building standards is considered the best means of
reducirig geologic hazards. In addition,as part of the City's planning and development review process,the proposed zone changes
and future development projects will be analyze to evaluate site-specific geotechnical conditions and determine appropriate
construction methods to address potential hazards such as liquefaction. No significant impacts would occur and no mitigation
measures are necessary in connection with this Housing Element amendment.

7. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. Would the ro�ect:
a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly,that may have X
a si nificant im act on the envirorunent?
b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the putpose of X
reducin the emissions of greenhouse ases?
Explanations:
7.a-b. Many of the world's leading scientific experts agree that greenhouse gases (GHGs) generated by human activities affect
climate by increasing the "b eenhouse effect." The gases concentrate in the Earth's atmosphere and trap heat by blocking some of the
long-wave energy the Earth normally radiates back into space. Human activities that produce GHGs are the burning of fossil fuels
(caal, oil and natural gas for heating and electricity, gasoline and diesel for transportation); methane from landfill wastes and raising
livestock, deforestation activities; and some agricultural practices. These activities are increasing the greenhouse gases in the Barth's
atmosphere and could be accelerating global climate change. Long-term environmental consequences in California cou]d potentially
include a reduction in water supply from the Sierra Nevada snow pack, which could result in a reduction in imported water, and
public health problems due to degraded air quality and more intense summer heat.
In 2006, Governor Schwarzenegger signed AB 32,the California Climate Solutions Act of 2006. AB 32 requires that statewide GHG
emissions be reduced to 2000 levels by the year 2010, 1990 levels by the year 2020, and to 80 percent less than 1990 levels by year
2050. These reductions will be accomplished through an enforceable statewide cap on GHG emissions that will be phased in starting
in 2012. To effectively implement the cap, AB 32 directs the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to develop and implement
regulations to reduce statewide GHG emissions from stationary sources. AB 32 specifies that regulations adopted in response to AB
1493 should be used to address GHG emissions from vehicles. However, AB 32 also includes language stating that if the AB 1493
regulations cannot be implemented, then CARB should develop new regulations to control vehicle GHG emissions under the
authorization of AB 32. AB 32 requires that CARB adopt a quantified cap on GHG emissions representing 1990 emissions levels
and disclose how it arrives at the cap; institute a schedule to meet the emissions cap; and develop tracking, reporting, and
enforcement mechanisms to ensure that the state achieves reductions in GHG emissions necessary to meet the cap. In 2007, CARB
adopted the statewide 2020 emissions cap at 427 million metric tons (MMT) equivalent carbon dioxide (CO2e) greenhouse gas
emissions. CARB estimated that 2020 `business-as-usual' emissions (meaning, emissions of greenhouse gases without consideration
of climate change)would be 596 MMTCO2e;therefore, emissions will need to be reduced by 169 MMTCO2e(28 percent) statewide
to meet the 2020 threshold. AB 32 also includes guidance to institute emissions reductions in an economically efficient manner and
conditions to ensure that businesses and consumers are not unfairly affected by the reductions. A numerical threshold to determine
the significance of greenhouse gas emissions has not been established by the City or SCAQMD.
Because the Housing Element assumes that development will occur consistent with the adopted growth forecast and the Regional
Housing Needs Assessment, it would not cause an increase in greenhouse gas emissions beyond the level currently projected to
occur. Therefore, no new significant impacts are anticipated and no mitigation measures are necessary at this time. However,
subsequent amendments to the Development Code and zone changes will be evaluated to assess potential greenhouse gas emissions
and appropriate mitigation measures may be required at that time.
8. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Would the ro'ect:
a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine �{
trans ort,use or dis osal of hazardous materials?
b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment tlu�ough reasonably X
foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the likely release of hazardous
materials into the environment?
c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, �{
substances,or waste within one- uarter mile of an existin or ro osed school?
d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites �{
compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5, and,as a result, would it
create a si ificant hazard to the ublic or the environment?

h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death X
involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas
or where residences are intermixed with wildlands?
Explanations:
8.a-c. Hazardous materials are routinely used and transported on major highways traversing the city. Therefore,future residents,
workers,and visitors in this area could be exposed to hazards from the use,disposal,and transport of hazardous materials. New
housing development would result in the use and disposal of household-type hazardous wastes. However,it is unlikely that such
developments would result in the release of hazaxdous materials into the environment at a level that would result in a significant
public hazard. Potential impacts related to the transport and exposure of people to hazardous materials will be analyzed as part of
site-specific development proposals,and mitigation measures will be imposed where appropriate. No significant impacts would
occur and no mitigation measures are necessary in connection with this Housing Element amendment.
8.d. The potential exists for hazardous materials sites to exist in future development areas due to prior agricultural use and other
activities. Grading operations cauld expose future residents and the general public to these hazardous materials. Potential impacts
associated with such hazardous materials sites will be analyzed as part of each development proposal prior to construction. No
significant impacts would occur and no mitigation measures are necessary in connection with this Housing Element amendment.
� 8.e-f. Chino Airport lies approximately l0 miles to the east of Diamond Bar. There are no private airstrips located within the city.
As a result,it is unlikely that future housing development would be affected by any airport-related safety hazards. However,as part
of the City's planning and development review process,future projects will be evaluated to determine whether any potential safety
- hazards related to aircraft could occur. No significant impacts would occur and no mitigation.measures are necessary in connection
with this Housing Element amendment.
8.g. Future residential development could result in congestion at intersections and along roadways,which could impede access by
emergency vehicles and interfere with adopted response or evacuation plans. However,as part of the City's planning and
development review process,future projects will be evaluated to determine whether any such hazards could occur and appropriate
corrective measures will be required. No significant impacts would occur and no mitigation measures are necessary in connection
with this Housing Element amendment.
8.h. Future residential projects could be located within or adjacent to areas subject to high wildland fire hazards. This could result in
exposure of people or structures to the risk of loss,injury,or death due to wildland fires. As part of the City's planning and
development review process,future projects will be evaluated to determine the extent of wildland fire hazards and appropriate
mitigation measures will be unposed. No significant impacts would occur and no mitigation measures are necessary in connection
with this Housing Element amendment.

e) Would the project create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the X
capacity of existing or planned storm water drainage systems or provide substantial
additional sources of post-construction polluted runoff,such as from areas of
material storage, vehicle or equipment fueling,vehicle or equipment maintenance,
(including washing),waste handling,hazardous materials handling or storage,
deliver areas,loadin docks or other outdoor work areas?

�) Inundation b seiche,tsunami, or mudflow? X
k)Would the project have the potential for significant changes in the flow velocity X
or volume of storm water runoff to cause environmental harm?
Explanations:
9.a. New development could impact water quality through runoff and wastewater discharge. However,all future developments will
be required to comply with applicable federal,state and local water quality requirements such as the Clean Water Act and the
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System(NPDES)program. Additionally,through the City's development review process,
future projects will be evaluated for potential site-specific water quality and flooding impacts. Development projects will be required
to prepare water quality plans and/or incorporate"Best Management Practices"(BMPs)into their construction operations to reduce
erosion,siltation and water po]lution both during and after construction. Compliance with these regulations would be expected to
reduce water quality impacts to a]evel that is less than significant. No mitigation measures are necessary in connection with this
Housing Element amendment.
9.b. Development consistent with Housing Element assumptions would result in increased water consumption having the potential to
deplete gxoundwater supplies. Additionally,new developments will result in an increased amount of impervious surfaces and the
potential to decrease groundwater recharge. These potential impacts related to groundwater supplies and recharge will be analyzed as
part of the planning and development review process for future projects. No significant impacts would occur and no mitigation
measures are necessary in connection with this Housing Element amendment.

9.c-k. Future residential developments could result in modification of existing drainage patterns through grading and construction of
homes,streets and other facilities. Such changes to drainage patterns could result in substantial erosion or siltation on-or off-site,as
well as greater risk of flooding from increased runoff. However,prior to development of any new projects,potential impacts related
�to alteration of drainage patterns and flood hazards will be analyzed and appropriate conditions will be required. In addition,existing
policies require the provision of adequate storm water drainage facilities and prevent residential development within 100-year
floodplains. No significant impacts would occur and no rnitigation measures are necessary in connection with this Housing Element
amendment.
10. LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the ro'ect:
a) Physicall divide an established communi ? X
b) Conflict with an applicable land use plan,policy or regulation of an agency X

specific plan,local coastal program,or zoning ordinance)adopted for the purpose
of avoidin or miti atin an environmental effect?
c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural communities X
conservation lan?
Exklanations:
10.a. Future residential development as anticipated in the Housing Element update would be either small-scale infill/redevelopment
projects or larger-scale master-planned projects on vacant land. As such,these fizture projects would not have the potential to divide
an existing community. However,as part of the planning and development review process,all new projects will be evaluated to
detez-mine potential impacts and any appropriate mitigation measures will be imposed. No significant impacts would occur and no
mitigation measures are necessary in connection with this Housing Element amendment.
10.b. New residential development will be required to comply with all applicable plans and regulations,including the General Plan,
specific plan,and zoning. The Housing Element contains a commitment to rezone at least 15.6 acres of land for multi-family
residential development by-right at a density of 30 units/acre. Prior to approval of these zone changes(and General Plan
amendments, if necessary)a CEQA analysis will be prepared to evaluate the prajects' conformance with applicable policies and
regulations. No significant impacts would occur and no mitigation measures are necessary in connection with this Housing Element
amendment.
I O.c. There is no adopted Habitat Conservation Plan,Natural Conservation Community Plan,or other locai,regional,or state habitat
conservation plan within Diamond Bar. No impacts would occur and mitigation measures are necessary at this time.
11. MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the ro'ect:
a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of X
value to the re ion and the residents of the state?
b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally-important mineral resource X
recovery site delineated on a local general plan,specific plan or other land use
lan?
Explanations:
I l.a-b. According to the City of Diamond Bar General Plan,no classified or designated mineral deposits of statewide or regional
significance have been identified in the city. The State Geologist has not mapped any Mineral Resource Zones in the city,and
consequently the State Mining and Geology Board has not designated any regionally significant mineral resource areas in the city.
� However,prior to development of specific projects,potential site-specific impacts to mineral resources will be evaluated as part of
' the planning and development review process and any appropriate requirements will be applied at that time. No significant impacts
would occur and no mitigation measures aze necessary in connection with this Housing Element amendment.

the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise
levels?
fl For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip,would the project expose X
eo le residin or working in the roject area to excessive noise levels?
Ex�lanations:
12.a-d. Future residential developments would be expected to result in short-term construction-related noise impacts,including
groundbome vibration noise that could exceed established standards. Required compliance with the City's noise regulations and
restrictions on construction hours will help to mitigate these impacts. Development would also be expected to result in an
incremental increase in long-term noise levels from increased vehicular traffic as well as new stationary sources of noise. As part of
the planning and development review process,projects will be subject to site-specific analysis of potential noise impacts and any
appropriate mitigation measures will be imposed at that time. No significant impacts would occur and no mitigation measures are
necessary in connection with this Housing Element amendment.
12.e-f. Chino Airport is approximately 10 miles east of the city. There are no private airstrips located within the city. As such,
future residential development would not be expected to expose people to excessive aircraft noise levels. However, as part of the
planning and development review process,projects will be subject to site-specific analysis of potential aircraft noise impacts and any
appropriate mitigation measures will be imposed at that time. No significant impacts would occur and no mitigation measures are

b) Displace substantial nuznbers of existing houses,necessitating the construction �{
of re lacement housinQ elsewhere?
c) Displace substantial numbers of people,necessitating the construction of x
re lacement housin elsewhere?
Explanations:
13.a. The level of new residential development anticipated in the Housing Element would directly induce population growth.
However,the City is required by state law to accommodate its fair share of regional housing needs,therefore this is not an adverse
environmental im act under CEQA. No mitigation measures are re uired.

Ex�lanations:
16.a/b/d/e/f/g. New residential development anticipated by the Housing Element would be expected to generate increased traffic on
the road network and could also result in hazardous road conditions, inadequate emergency access or insufficient parking. As part of
the planning and development review process,all new developments are evaluated to determine the extent of traffic impacts relative
to road capacity,design,emergency access and parking,and appropriate requirements will be imposed to ensure that safe design
standards and adequate service levels are maintained. The proposed zoning amendments will be subject to CEQA review and
appropriate mitigation measures will be required to avoid impacts. The tra�c impact fees that new residential developments are
required to pay will help to mitigate the impact of additional traffic through funding of new raad improvements. No significant

histo or rehisto ?
Explanation:
Under state law,cities are required to prepare a Housing Element that,among other things,identifies how the jurisdiction's fair share
of regional housing growth needs will be accommodated. Diamond Bar's fair share of the region's new housing need,as established
by the Southern California Association of Governments, is 1,090 units for the period 2006-2014. In addition,the City's annexation
of a 116.6-acre portion of unincorporated Los Angeles County(Annexation 2007-20)resulted in a RHNA transfer of 8 units.The
City's new housing need is distributed among various income levels as shown in Housing Element Table II-27. Since the City's
current land use plans and zoning do not demonstrate adequate capacity to accommodate its need for lower-income households,the
Housing Element includes a commitment to rezone 15.6 acres of land for multi-family residential development by-right at a density
of 30 units/acre(Program 9). However,this program commitment does not convey any development entitlements nor identify the
specific location,size,or configuration of future projects. Anticipated development on sites currently designated for residential
development would not result in environmental impacts beyond those previously evaluated in the General Plan and EIR. As part of
the City's planning and development review process,each project will be evaluated prior to construction and appropriate conditions
and measures will be required to mitigate any potential impacts. Prior to approval of the proposed zoning amendments,site-specific
CEQA analysis will be conducted and appropriate mitigation measures will be required to address any potentially significant impacts.
'� b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited,but cumulatively
considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable"means that the incremental effects of
a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of the past X
projects,the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future
