Meeting Date: March 19, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager
TITLE: 2023 HOUSING ELEMENT ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT.
STRATEGIC
GOAL:
Open, Engaged & Responsive Government
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the report for filing with the State Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) and the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR).
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
Government Code Section 65588 requires that each local government review its
Housing Element as frequently as appropriate to evaluate all of the following:
1) The appropriateness of the housing goals, objectives, and policies in contributing to
the attainment of the state housing goal;
2) The effectiveness of the Housing Element in attainment of the community’s housing
goals and objectives;
3) The progress of the city, county, or city and county in implementation of the Housing
Element; and
4) The effectiveness of the Housing Element goals, policies, and related actions to
meet the community's needs.
The City’s 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Housing Element was adopted by the City Council on
August 11, 2022. The California Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD) reviewed the Housing Element and found it to be in full compliance with State
Housing Element Law (Article 10.6 of the Gov. Code) in a letter dated October 5, 2022.
With the adoption and certification of the City’s Housing Element, the City has initiated
5.4
Packet Pg. 46
updates to the City’s Development Code to implement the goals, policies, and programs
in the Housing Element.
Regional Housing Needs Assessment
Each California city is required to plan for new housing to accommodate a share of
regional needs. The Regional Housing Needs Assessment (“RHNA”) is the process
established by State law in which housing needs are determined. The Southern
California Association of Governments (SCAG) determines the housing growth needs
by income category for cities within its jurisdiction, which includes the City of Diamond
Bar. The City’s RHNA allocation for the 6th cycle planning period was 2,521 units, which
was divided into income groups as follows:
Housing Element Annual Progress Report
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65400, local jurisdictions are required to file a
Housing Element Annual Progress Report (APR) with HCD and the Office of Planning
and Research (OPR) by the first of April each year. The APR (Attachment 1) outlines
progress on the implementation of the adopted 6th Cycle Housing Element.
Tables A and A2 list approvals and permits issued in 2023 for housing units,
categorized by income category. Table B counts those units toward the City’s RHNA
obligation for the 2021-2029 planning period. Table D outlines progress toward
implementation of the City’s Housing Element programs.
ANALYSIS:
Housing Units
According to the California Department of Finance (DOF) Diamond Bar had
approximately 17,959 housing units in 2000, and 18,478 housing units in 2013. The
DOF estimated that as of January 1, 2023, the City had 18,850 approximately housing
units, comprised of 81.8% single-family residences, 16.4% multi-family units, and 1.9%
mobile homes.
The City’s housing production for 2023 is summarized below:
• Four entitlement requests were approved for new single-family residences;
• Six building permits were issued for new single-family residences;
• 32 building permits were issued for new Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs);
• Three building permits were issued for new Junior Accessory Dwelling Units
(JADUs);
5.4
Packet Pg. 47
• Three single-family residences received certificates of occupancy; and
• 23 ADUs received certificates of occupancy.
The 2023 reporting period shows that there was a slight decrease in the number of total
building permits issued for new housing units compared to that of the previous year (a
total of 46 building permits issued in 2022). However, there was a significant increase in
the number new housing units that received certificates of occupancy compared to that
of the previous year (a total of 10 issued in 2022).
The number of ADUs in Diamond Bar continue to increase, largely due to the passage
of several bills: SB 13, AB 881, AB 68(1), AB 587, and AB 671, which were intended to
address the State’s housing shortage by easing development restrictions that cities and
counties may place on ADUs. These new laws took effect on January 1, 2020, and on
July 20, 2021, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 01(2021), updating the City’s
ADU regulations to comply with State law. Permits issued for ADUs will continue to
increase, especially in light of more recent ADU legislation that took effect on January 1,
2023 (SB 897 and AB 2221). These bills made several changes to the existing law that
clarify certain provisions, further ease development restrictions, and facilitate more
expeditious permitting.
The State continues to pass legislation aimed to remove constraints on housing
development. Notable housing bills enacted in 2023 include the following:
• SB 684 (Caballero): Streamlined Ministerial Approval and Construction of Ownership
Housing Projects with 10 or Fewer Units on Sites Zoned for Multifamily Housing
• SB 423 (Wiener): Amendment to SB 35’s Provisions for Streamlined Ministerial
Review of Multifamily Housing Developments
• SB 4 (Wiener): Affordable Housing on Faith and Higher Education Lands Act of 2023
• AB 1490 (Lee): Adaptive Reuse of Existing Residential Buildings to Affordable
Housing
• AB 1218 (Lowenthal): Expansion of Replacement Housing and Tenant Protection
Law
• AB 1332 (Carrillo): Preapproval Program for ADUs
• AB 1287 (Alvarez): State Density Bonus Law Amendments
• AB 812 (Boerner): Reserving Affordable Housing for Artists
Future opportunities for housing production lie primarily with ADUs and development in
the mixed-use districts created under current General Plan. In May 2022, the City
entered into a Consultant Services Agreement with Torti Gallas + Partners to prepare
the Town Center Specific Plan (TCSP) in one of those mixed -use districts, which is also
one of the housing sites identified in the Housing Element to accommodate the RHNA.
The TCSP is an important component of the City’s overall strategy to revitalize older
areas and expand housing production. The administrative draft specific plan and draft
supplemental EIR are underway and expected to be released to the public in late Spring
of 2024.
The 15 housing programs identified in the Housing Element include efforts to remove
constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing, as listed
5.4

under Table D of Attachment 1. All programs remained in effect during the reporting
period.

Name of Program Objective Timeframe in H.E Status of Program Implementation
1. Residential
Neighborhood
Improvement Program
Continue to implement the code
enforcement program, and direct eligible
households to available rehabilitation
assistance to correct code violations.
Provide focused code enforcement and
rehabilitation assistance for 5 to 6
households during the planning period in
neighborhoods evidencing concentrations
of deteriorating units.
2022-2029
The City continues to operate the code enforcement program. This program is
successful and is being continued. Code enforcement cases have increased in
number and complexity due to factors including aging housing stock and the
declining financial resources of longtime residents. The code enforcement officers
and building inspectors are typically the first public officials to learn which
homeowners lack the financial resources to correct property maintenance
violations, and in the process, become aware of other deferred maintenance
issues. The officers carry copies of the City’s Home Improvement Program (HIP)
brochures and inform homeowners potentially in need of assistance that the City
offers no-interest, deferred loans for essential home repairs.
2. Home Improvement
Program
Improve neighborhoods evidencing
deferred maintenance through property
maintenance and rehab. Provide minor
repair and rehabilitation to 4 units
annually.
2022-2029
The City allocates at least $100,000 of its annual CDBG award to the Home
Improvement Program. The HIP provides zero-interest loans of up to $30,000 to
low- and very-low-income homeowners, which do not need to be repaid unless the
home is sold or refinanced. There is a waiting list of pre-screened applicants, and
HIP loans are processed in the order received.
On June 20, 2023, the City Council approved the expansion of the HIP to utilize
both CDBG and PLHA funds to broaden the scope of homeowners eligible to
receive HIP loans. Key changes of the updated HIP Program Policies are
highlighted below:
•The maximum loan amount for single-family detached homes increased from
$20,000 to $30,000.
•Owner-occupants of condominiums that meet the household income requirements
are now eligible for HIP loans for up to $20,000, provided that PLHA funds are
available. The maximum loan amount is lower than the cap for single-family
detached homes because costlier improvements, such as roof maintenance and
exterior repairs, are the responsibility of the condominium HOAs, not the individual
homeowners.
•PLHA funds may be used to issue loans to households (both single-family
detached and condominium) earning up to 150% of the Area Median Income (AMI)
for L.A. County. CDBG funds continue to be restricted to owner-occupied
households of single-family detached housing earning no more than 80% of AMI.
•A minimum loan amount of $10,000 is now required. Previously, no minimum was
specified. Establishing a minimum loan amount encourages homeowners to
address more improvements at once, and provides economies of scale with
respect to the administrative costs associated with processing loans.
The HIP is successful in improving housing conditions and is being continued at
available funding levels.
3. Section 8 Rental
Assistance Program
Continue to direct eligible households to
the County Section 8 program.2022-2029
This program is beneficial in reducing problems such as overpayment and
overcrowding. City continues to coordinate with the County on the Section 8
program. Handouts are available at the public counter and contact information is
regularly provided to requestors. The program is being continued.
4. Preservation of
Assisted Housing
Preserve 100 percent of the 149 low- and
moderate-income units in The Seasons
Apartments.
2022-2029
Diamond Bar contains only one assisted housing project, the 149-unit Seasons
Apartments (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). All units
will be preserved.
5. Mobile Home Park
Preservation
Continue to support preservation of the
City's two mobile home parks as
important affordable housing resources.
2022-2029
Zoning for mobile home parks is successful in preserving this affordable housing
option and is being continued. No proposals to close the parks were submitted.
The City will continue to support preservation of its two mobile home parks as
important affordable housing resources.

Certificate (MCC) and provide information
to interested homebuyers. In addition, the
City will work with realtors to make them
aware of these programs.
2022-2029
The City advertised these programs on the City website and will provide
information to interested homebuyers annually via CIty newsletters and through
social media. In addition, the City will work with realtors to make them aware of
these programs.
7. Senior and Workforce
Housing Development
Identify and evaluate sites suitable for
new senior and workforce housing. The
City will post information on the City
website during the first year of the
planning period 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 annually to identify potential
partnership opportunities for affordable
housing.
2022-2029
This program is intended to encourage affordable housing development and is
being continued. The City is a member of the San Gabriel Valley Regional Housing
Trust (SGVRHT), which is a joint powers authority. SGVRHT’s focus is primarily on
providing funding assistance in the planning and construction of new homeless and
affordable housing. The Trust provides funding and loans to help bridge funding
gaps for affordable housing projects. Land Use Policies 10 and 28, which were
adopted in the 2019 General Plan Update, also encourage the production of senior
and workforce housing.
8. Land Use Element and
Zoning
Maintain adequate sites for housing
development at all income levels in
conformance with the RHNA and ensure
compliance with No Net Loss
requirements. Process Development
Code amendments to provide adequate
sites to accommodate the RHNA. Update
all regulations and fees on the City
website annually throughout the planning
period. Notify water and sewer providers
immediately upon adoption of the
Housing Element.
October 2024
The City has maintained adequate sites for housing development at all income
levels and ensure compliance with No Net Loss requirements. In May 2022, the
City entered into a Consultant Services Agreement with Torti Gallas+Partners to
prepare the Town Center Specific Plan (TCSP) in the Town Center Mixed-Use
focus area, which is one of the sites to accommodate the RHNA. Continuous
progress has been made on the Specific Plan during the planning period.
On November 15, 2022, the City notified the water and sewer providers
immediately upon adoption of the Housing Element.
9. Mixed Use
Development
Prepare handout and marketing materials
encouraging mixed-use development
where appropriate and make it available
to interested developers throughout the
planning period.
2022-2029
In December 2019, the City adopted the Comprehensive General Plan Update that
created community visions and blueprint for growth and development in the City
through 2040. One of the key features of the new General Plan was the
establishment of three new Focus Areas where substantial land use changes are
planned as part of a strategy to provide walkable mixed-use activity centers. Goals
and policies to promote mixed use developments are as follows: Land Use Goals
12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 22, 24, 26, Land Use Policies 15, 16, 21, 23, 27, 28, 29, 35,
45; Community Character and Placemaking Goals 7, 8, 14, 17; and Circulation
Goal 4.
In May 2022, the City entered into a Consultant Services Agreement with Torti
Gallas+Partners to prepare the Town Center Specific Plan in the Town Center
Mixed-Use focus area. The TCSP will provide the regulatory and urban design
framework to establish a downtown, or “Town Center” in Diamond Bar as a
walkable place with entertainment, retail, restaurants, community gathering
spaces, and urban housing opportunities. This program is an important component
of the City’s overall strategy to revitalize older areas and expand housing
production. On March 22, 2023, the City held a community meeting to provide an
update to the public on the TCSP. The evening presentation provided a recap,
suggested preferred plan and alternatives, affordable housing options, concept of
the “Road Diet” along Diamond Bar Boulevard and how to create a human scale.
35 residents attended the meeting.
10. Accessory Dwelling
Units
Continue to encourage construction of
ADUs through an informational handout
available at City Hall and on the City
website throughout the planning period.
2022-2029
In 2017, the City approved an amendment to the municipal code pertaining to
accessory dwelling units to satisfy all of the requirements of Government Code
§§65852.150-65852.2. Per AB 68 (Ting), AB 587 (Friedman), AB 671 (Friedman),
AB 881 (Bloom), SB 13 (Wieckowski) that went into effect January 1, 2020. In
2021 the City adopted a subsequent amendment to ADU regulations in accordance
with the new State laws. The City is currently drafting another Development Code
amendment for consistency with the most recent passages of AB 2221 (Quirk-
Silva) and SB 897 (Wieckowski). The Code amendment is anticipated to be
completed no later than Summer of 2024. The updated ADU Ordinances have
been effective in supporting the production of ADUs and provides affordable rents
to low- and moderate-income households. An ADU handout has been created
which is being distributed at the public counter. The City continues to encourage
accessory dwelling units and this program is being continued.
32 building permits for ADUs totaling 22,685 square feet were issued.

11. Housing for Persons
with Special Needs
Continue to facilitate emergency shelters
and transitional/ supportive housing and
continue participating with LAHSA and
SGVCOG on efforts to address
homelessness throughout the planning
period. Process an amendment to the
Development Code to allow supportive
housing, low barrier navigation centers
and large residential care facilities
consistent with State law.
2022-2029
The City is currently drafting a Development Code amendment to allow supportive
housing and low barrier navigation centers consistent with State law and to replace
or modify the CUP requirement to provide greater objectivity and development
certainty for residential care facilities serving seven or more persons in all
residential zones. The Code amendment is tentatively scheduled for Planning
Commission hearing on May 14, 2024.
12. Affordable Housing
Incentives/ Density
Bonus
Amend the Development Code in 2021
consistent with current Density Bonus
Law and continue to encourage the
production of affordable housing through
the use of density bonus and other
incentives.
2021-2022
This program is being continued in compliance with recent changes to State
density bonus law. City staff discusses opportunities for affordable housing and
density bonuses with developers for housing projects. As mentioned above, an
inclusionary housing requirement is also being considered for the TCSP, in
addition to other incentives to increase density. The density bonus program is
among several tools the City utilizes to facilitate affordable housing. The City is
currently drafting a Development Code amendment for consistency with current
Density Bonus Law. The Code amendment is tentatively scheduled for Planning
Commission hearing on May 14, 2024.
The City is also a member of the San Gabriel Valley Regional Housing Trust
(SGVRHT), which is a joint powers authority. SGVRHT’s focus is primarily on
providing fundings assistance in the planning and construction of new homeless
and affordable housing. The Trust provides funding and loans to help bridge
funding gaps for affordable housing projects.
13. Efficient Project
Processing
Continue to offer streamlined
development processing, and periodically
review departmental processing
procedures to ensure efficient project
processing.
October 2024
The City continues to offer efficient permit processing. As a small city, staff is able
to work closely with applicants through the review and approval process, thereby
helping to expedite the entitlement process to issuance of building and zoning
permits. In addition, the City has several procedures in place to minimize project
review times, which include concurrent processing, pre-application reviews, and
recently adopted General Plan EIR, which allows for individual projects that fall
within the scope of the EIR to utilize this as environmental clearance under CEQA.
Practices to streamline the issuances for residential projects such as room
additions and ADUs have been implemented to eliminate the need to submit a
separate application for Planning prior to applying for building permits. The
pandemic accelerated implementation of online permit services, and by June 2020,
applicants were able to submit applications, plans and payments entirely online. In
2023, the City embarked on the implementation of a new permitting software
(Enterprise Land Management system), which will eventually streamline City
processes and project processing. This program will be further enhanced through
revisions to the Development Code.
14. Affirmatively
Furthering Fair Housing
Explore and pursue alternative land use
strategies and make necessary
amendments to zoning and other land
use documents to facilitate a variety of
housing choices, including but not limited
to higher density opportunities on
religious, institutional and quasi-
institutional lands, missing middle zoning
in addition to SB9 such as SB10,
adaptive reuse, more than one JADU per
structure, acquiring and adding
affordability to existing structures and
upzoning with the goal of 50 housing
opportunities in the planning period.
2022-2029
In May 2022, the City entered into a Consultant Services Agreement with Torti
Gallas+Partners to prepare the Town Center Specific Plan in the Town Center
Mixed-Use focus area. The TCSP will provide the regulatory and urban design
framework to establish a downtown, or “Town Center” in Diamond Bar as a
walkable place with entertainment, retail, restaurants, community gathering
spaces, and urban housing opportunities. This program is an important component
of the City’s overall strategy to revitalize older areas and expand housing
production. Incentives for lot consolidation are being considered as the TCSP is
being crafted to encourage the improvement of underutilized properties.
On December 21, 2021, the City adopted an urgency ordinance to expand the
housing supply in single-family zones by allowing for lot splits and duplexes under
the parameters of SB 9. The City intends to adopt a permanent ordinance during
the planning period.
The City continues to distribute fair housing information at the public counter
through brochures, and refers fair housing related complaints to the Housing
Rights Center.
15. Reasonable
Accommodation for
Persons with Disabilities
Continue to implement reasonable
accommodation procedures for persons
with disabilities in compliance with SB
520.
2022
The City supports the provision of housing for disabled persons through zoning
opportunities for transitional housing, reasonable accommodation procedures, and
programs to facilitate affordable housing. In 2010, the City adopted an ordinance to
facilitate reasonable accommodations. This program is an important component of
the City’s overall efforts to address the special housing needs of persons with
disabilities and is being continued and revised to include additional amendments to
City regulations to incorporate recent changes to State law.
The City is currently processing a Development Code amendment to ensure that
reasonable housing accommodation procedures do not inadvertently act as a
constraint on persons with disabilities. The Code amendment is tentatively
scheduled for Planning Commission hearing on May 14, 2024.

In accordance with California Government Code Section 65400(b), the City is required
to submit an annual General Plan status report to the local legislative body (City
Council), the State Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and State
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on the status of the
General Plan, its implementation progress, and how the City is meeting the region’s
housing needs. The attached report lists the City’s progress toward the implementation
of the updated General Plan for the period of January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023.

Major accomplishments during this period include the following:
• Town Center Specific Plan: The TCSP will provide the regulatory and urban
design framework to establish a downtown, or “Town Center” in Diamond Bar as a
walkable place with entertainment, retail, restaurants, community gathering spaces
and urban housing opportunities. Several tasks were commenced and/or completed
throughout 2023. On January 24, the Planning Commission and City Council held a
joint study session to discuss project buildout alternatives and approaches to
encourage the development of inclusionary housing, and directe d staff to evaluate a
buildout of 2,055 dwelling units in the EIR. On March 21, the City hosted a
community meeting to update the public on the project, with a focus on density and
the incorporation of an inclusionary housing component to the plan. The Initial Study
and Notice of Preparation of the Supplemental EIR were published on June 5.
Significant progress on the Administrative Drafts of the Specific Plan and
Supplemental EIR were made through the end of 2023, and the public review drafts
of these documents are anticipated to be released by late spring of this year. The
TCSP implements General Plan Goals LU-G-4, 12-14, 22-24, 35-39, 41-43, ED-G-1
and 2, CC-G-2, 11-13, CR-G-3-5, 14 and Housing Element Programs #8,9,12. as

• Public Safety: The City completed installation of 50 Flock Safety Automated
License Plate Reader security/surveillance cameras throughout the community.
This project implements General Plan Goal PS-G-6.
• Environmental: The City contracted with Abound Food Care and is actively
encouraging generators of edible food to establish contracts or agreements with
food rescue organizations to divert edible food from being needlessly disposed of or
destroyed as mandated under Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383). The City is facilitating the
establishment of partnerships between generators and food rescue organizations,
fostering a collaborative approach to addressing food waste challenges. This
implements General Plan Policy CHS-P-50.
• Economic Development: The City launched the Open Rewards pilot program app
during Diamond Bar’s Restaurant Week (October 1st to October 15th), where diners
were offered a 20% reward for making purchases at Diamond Bar eateries. During
the 2-week timeframe, over $4,200 in rewards were distributed, amounting to a total
economic impact of $22,075.35 or approximately a 5x return on the initial
investment. This program implements General Plan Goal ED-G-3.
• Citywide Bus Shelters Replacement: The Citywide replacement of bus shelters
and unsheltered bus stop amenities was completed. Among other upgrades, the
new bus shelters feature a City logo on the back panel, solar -powered (where
feasible), and owned by the City. This project implements General Plan Policies
CC-P-1, CC-P-4, CR-P-1, and CR-P-48.
• Citywide Street Name Sign: The replacement of internally illuminated street name
signs (with the new design) and LED safety lights for arterial streets was completed.
5.5
Packet Pg. 64
Replacement of the residential street name signs with the new design (new windmill
logo, new typeface, etc.) was completed for half of the City. The second half of the
City's residential areas will be addressed in 2024. This project implements General
Plan Policy CC-P-1.
• Canyon Loop Trail Project: The first and most significant phase of the project was
complete. The improvements on the hardpan trail were successful and includes a
safer trail experience and improved amenities such as three benches, a new
stairway, gabion walls, water diverters to protect the trail from erosion, V-swales, a
water velocity reducer to protect the blue line stream, timber fencing, directional trail
makers, and overall trail compaction to ensure a safe experience for residents. In
addition to those amenities, staff installed two site maps and one flora/fauna
interpretative panel, and three shade structures above each bench. The team will
continue to work with all consultants at US Fish and Wildlife and CA Fish and
Wildlife as staff implements the Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Program (HMMP)
in 2024. In short, this program addressed the environmental impact this project
included and will provide a five-year plan which includes on-site vegetation
restoration to ensure the revegetation of the habitat is as greater amount than the
take during the project. This project implements General Plan Goals and Policies
RC-G-3, RC-P-9, PF-G-1 and PF-P-14.
A complete summary matrix of the City’s progress toward implementing the General
Plan is provided in Attachment A.
On March 12, 2024, the Planning Commission reviewed the report and directed staff to
forward it to the City Council with a recommendation to receive and file.

City of Diamond Bar General Plan Status Report 2023
Period beginning January 1, 2023, and ending December 31, 2023
OVERVIEW
On December 17, 2019, the City Council adopted Diamond Bar General Plan 2040, which is a State mandated document that the City uses to plan the framework for its future physical, socia l, and economic
development. The General Plan is considered a long-term document that projects development within a community for approximately 20 years. The General Plan serves as the founda tion for all land use decisions
and provides a vision and blueprint about how a community will grow, reflecting community priorities and values while shaping the future .
The City of Diamond Bar General Plan consists of the following eight elements (“Chapters”):
1) Land Use & Economic Development 2) Community Character & Placemaking 3) Circulation 4) Resource Conservation
5) Public Facilities & Services 6) Public Safety 7) Community Health & Sustainability 8) Housing
The following information summarizes the status of the goals and policies that the City has implemented for each chapter of the updated General Plan in 2020. Each chapter is organized by color scheme for
navigation.
1. Land Use & Economic Development
POLICY # CHAPTER GOALS & POLICIES STATUS DEPARTMENT
LAND USE & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
This chapter provides the overall framework for the physical development of the community and the distribution and intensity of land uses upon which many of the goals and policies in other chapters are based.
GENERAL
Goals
LU-G-4 Land Use
Locate new residential growth in or adjacent to mixed -use centers
and transit stations to support regional and statewide efforts to
encourage sustainable land use planning and smart growth
principles.
In June 2022, the City kicked off the preparation of the Town Center
Specific Plan for the Town Center Mixed-Use focus area. The TCSP
will provide the regulatory and urban design framework to establish
a downtown, or “Town Center” in Diamond Bar as a walkable place
with entertainment, retail, restaurants community gathering spaces
and urban housing opportunities. Several tasks were commenced
and/or completed in 2023. On January 24, the Planning Commission
and City Council held a joint study session to discuss project buildout
alternatives and approaches to encourage the development of
inclusionary housing, and directed staff to evaluate a buildout of
2,055 dwelling units in the EIR. On March 21, the City hosted a
community meeting to update the public on the project, with a focus
on density and the incorporation of an inclusionary housing
component to the plan. The Initial Study and Notice of Preparation
(IS/NOP) were published on June 5, and a public scoping meeting
was held on June 8 to obtain public input on the scope of
environmental issue areas that should be addressed in the
Supplemental EIR. Comments on the IS/NOP were received

through July 5, 2023. Significant progress on the Administrative
Drafts of the Specific Plan and Supplemental EIR were made
through the end of 2023, and the public review drafts of these
documents are anticipated to be released in the spring of 2024.
Policies
LU-P-1 Land Use
Ensure that the scale and massing of new development provides
sensitive transitions or design techniques in building height, bulk,
and landscaping to minimize impacts on adjacent, less intensive
uses, particularly residential uses.
All new development projects are reviewed to ensure compliance
with the City’s General Plan policies and design guidelines, including
but not limited to, massing and scale of buildings, building materials
and colors to blend in with the surrounding environment, appropriate
setbacks, building separations and heights, landscaping, and
window and door placements. To comply with the Housing
Accountability Act (SB 330), the City’s FY 2023/24 budget includes
funding for the hiring of a consultant to assist the city in the
preparation of Citywide objective design standards.
Community
Development
LU-P-4 Land Use
Monitor and evaluate potential impacts of proposed adjacent, local,
and regional developments to anticipate and require mitigation to
the greatest extent feasible to reduce land use, circulation, and
economic impacts on Diamond Bar.
On October 30, 2023, the Los Angeles County Department of
Regional Planning published a Draft Environmental Impact Report
(DEIR) in preparation for the development of 360 dwelling units on a
75.65-acre portion of an existing golf course (Royal Vista Golf Club).
On December 22, 2023, the City provided a letter in response to the
DEIR, requesting additional analyses and mitigations be provided to
address potential blight, land use and safety, and transportation
concerns. The City also requested additional analyses of the
potential development on the remaining 80-acre portion of the golf
course.
Community
Development
LU-P-5 Land Use
Ensure that adequate public services, facilities, and infrastructure
are available or provided to support new development, including
water, wastewater, stormwater, solid waste, transportation, public
safety, and parks.
Safe, Clean Water Program (Measure W)
Staff prepared and submitted the City’s Measure W Annual Plan to
the County of Los Angeles. The Annual Plan outlined the City’s
proposed Measure W expenditures for the fiscal year, including CIP
projects, routine maintenance, consultant costs, efforts to pursue
grant funding, and staff time. As a result, Diamond Bar received its
local return of over $8K for FY 2023-2024.
Parks and Facility Projects:
The design of the redevelopment of Maple Hill Park was started in
2023. The project includes the complete replacement of the restroom
building and the playground and significant ADA improvements. The
design work is scheduled to complete in 2024, with the construction
work starting subsequently.

The design of the redevelopment of Heritage Park and Community
Center was started in 2023. The project includes significant
upgrades to the community center, complete reconstruction of the
detached park restroom building, ADA and parking lot
improvements, landscaping, and park facilities upgrades. The
design work is scheduled to complete in 2024, with the construction
pending funding.
LU-P-6 Land Use
When appropriate, require new development to pay its fair share of
the public facilities and off-site improvements needed to serve the
proposed use.
The Public Works Dept. requires all new development projects to pay
their fair share of public improvements, including a City sewer fee
(when applicable), traffic, and road infrastructure.
Public Works
LU-P-7 Land Use
As larger vacant or underutilized sites within the built environment
are developed or redeveloped, maximize multimodal accessibility
with appropriately designed street networks, and walkable block
sizes scaled to proposed uses.
The Town Center Specific Plan (see Goal LU-G-4 above) will
establish a fine-grained street and block grid to encourage
pedestrian and bicycle circulation, and improved connectivity
between the east and west sides of Diamond Bar Boulevard.
Community
Development
RESIDENTIAL
Goals
LU-G-7 Land Use Promote a variety of housing and neighborhood types that respond
to a range of income, household sizes, and accessibility levels.
The City began drafting a Development Code amendment for
consistency with AB 2221 (Quirk-Silva) and SB 897 (Wieckowski).
The Code amendment is tentatively scheduled for Planning
Commission hearing on May 14, 2024.
The City has been processing new ADUs in accordance with the new
State laws and continues to encourage ADUs and Junior ADUs,
which provide an affordable housing option for lower income
households. In 2023, 32 building permits for ADUs were issued.
Community
Development
Policies
LU-P-8 Land Use
Ensure that new residential development be compatible with the
prevailing character of the surrounding neighborhood in terms of
building scale, density, massing, and design. Where the General
Plan designates higher densities, provide adequate transitions to
existing development.
All new residential development requires review and approval by the
Planning Commission through a Development Review application
process to assess a project’s compatibility, architectural design, size,
scale and massing with the neighborhood. The Planning
Commission reviews the design to ensure compliance with the City’s
General Plan policies and design guidelines, and to minimize
adverse effects of the proposed project upon the surrounding
properties and the City in general. In compliance with recent
legislation, the City has begun the process of formulating objective
design standards for residential development, beginning with the
drafting of the Town Center Specific Plan regulatory document , and
Community
Development

will embark on the preparation of Citywide objective design
standards in 2024.
LU-P-9 Land Use
Incorporate architectural and landscape design features in new
development that create more pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods,
such as orientation to the street; set-back, or detached garages;
tree-lined streets; and landscaped parkways between streets and
sidewalks.
Through the development review process, all new development is
reviewed to promote high functional and aesthetic architectural and
landscape standards to complement and add to the economic,
physical, and social character of Diamond Bar.
Community
Development
COMMERCIAL, OFFICE, AND INDUSTRIAL
Goals
LU-G-11 Land Use Support existing commercial centers by encouraging ongoing
investment and, where appropriate, reuse and redevelopment.
In 2023, the City approved three Conditional Use Permits for an
educational center, dance studio and fitness studio. All three
businesses have occupied an existing tenant space, thereby
encouraging ongoing investment of the existing commercial center.
In addition, 175 new business licenses were issued in 2023.
Community
Development
Policies
LU-P-13 Land Use
Promote the revitalization of existing neighborhood commercial
centers by encouraging property owners to maintain and improve
the appearance of individual buildings and commercial centers
through building façade improvements, landscaping, and
pedestrian improvements.
The City is working on the creation of an Economic Development
page on the City’s website. While the website is still being built, it will
likely be launched to the public in 2024.
City Manager’s Office
& Community
Relations
LU-P-14 Land Use
Improve vehicular accessibility, traffic flow, and parking availability
as well as pedestrian and bicycle access and amenities within
office, commercial, and industrial areas.
During project review, staff ensures that all office, commercial, and
industrial areas provide improved vehicular accessibility, traffic flow,
and parking availability as well as review for opportunities to
incorporate pedestrian and bicycle access and amenities.
Adaptive Traffic Control System
The City's Adaptive Traffic Control System (ATCS) is a traffic
management strategy in which traffic signal timing changes or
adapts based on actual traffic demand. This is accomplished using
an adaptive traffic control system consisting of both hardware an d
software. The system's deployment (hardware and software) was
completed and deployed in 2020. After being in service, the system
is serving the City well, especially with all of the regional and local
construction projects that are happening in the City. Staff continues
to monitor the system for a robust coverage of the traffic circulation
on the City’s main arterials.

Diamond Bar Boulevard/SR60 Eastbound Ramp Intersection
project (Diamond Bar Blvd dual left turn to SR-60 East onramp)
In 2023, the design work was completed, and an approval (permit)
was obtained from Caltrans for the subject project. The project will
be done in Caltrans Right-of-Way. It went through a lengthy and
detailed approval process with the State agency. With the grant
funding approved in 2022, the project will be constructed as a
change order to the main 57/60 Confluence Project in 2026-7.
Confluence Project
The construction work on the main SR57/SR60 Confluence Project
commenced in 2023. Project improvements will stretch from just
south of the northbound SR-57/SR-60 merge to eastbound SR-60
and south of the Golden Springs Drive overpass and along a portion
of Grand Avenue from the City of Industry to the City of Diamond
Bar. The project will include significant upgrades of the freeway
system, including adding lanes and on/off ramps, as well as the
replacement of the Grand Ave overcrossing (bridge over the
freeway). Although the project is sponsored by Metro, it is
implemented by the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments
under an approval and permit issued by Caltrans. Due to work
happening on or immediately adjacent to the City right-of-way and
the traffic diverted or detoured in or to the City, staff in the Public
Works Department are directly involved in the day to day works of
the project. The project is scheduled to be completed in 2028.
Grand and Golden Springs Project
The construction of the widening project at the intersection of Grand
Ave and Golden Spring Drive continued in 2023. The majority of the

COMMUNITY CHARACTER & PLACEMAKING
This Chapter guides the physical form and character of the City by providing strategies to strengthen the City’s identity through both new development and public improvements. Placemaking elem ents include
features such as monuments and decorative treatments that define City entry points, public art installations, decorati ve streetscape elements at key intersections or districts, and landscaping that creates a
memorable and unified character. The Goals and Polices contained in this Chapter provide direction to incorporate such elements into both new development proj ects and public improvements. The majority of
the Goals and Policies are related to the new opportunities within the four mixed -use focus areas and encourage walkable and pedestrian -oriented neighborhoods.

In residential and mixed-use areas, use traffic calming measures
such as pavers, bollards, sidewalk bulb-outs, and speed humps to
slow travel speeds.
Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP)
In residential neighborhoods, the NTMP continues to be an effective
tool in providing a procedure to implement traffic calming devices in
neighborhoods that experience speeding and cut-through traffic. The
program’s goal is to improve the livability of neighborhoods by
empowering residents with the proper calming devices to modify
driver behavior.
In 2023, a complete revision of the City’s NTMP Guidelines was
completed. The Guidelines, which will replace the current Guidelines
after the Council’s approval, will significantly improve and streamline
the NTMP process by creating two separate procedures (vs. the
current one-fit-for-all procedure) for local and broad impact traffic
issues.
The design and construction work on both Hawkwood Drive and
North Del Sol NTMP neighborhoods were completed, and staff
monitored the improvements in 2023. Additionally, as a pilot project
for the new NTMP Guidelines, a traffic calming project was
completed in the Northampton neighborhood.

This Chapter is aimed at improving the transportation network within the City, balancing the circulation needs with safety an d access across a variety of modes of transportation, including automobile travel,
public transit, non-motorized transportation and goods movement through a Complete Streets approach.
TRANSPORTATION NETWORK AND STREET DESIGN
Goals
CR-G-1 Circulation
Improve the operating efficiency of the transportation system by
reducing vehicle travel demand and providing opportunities for
other modes of travel. Before approving roadway improvements
that focus on increasing vehicle capacity, consider alternatives that
reduce vehicle volumes and prioritize projects that would reduce
single-occupancy vehicle use and greenhouse gas emissions.
The City’s Transportation Study Guidelines are implemented in the
review of the new development projects for, among other things, the
mitigation and reduction of the level of Vehicle Mile Traveled (VMT)
of the projects. Additionally, in 2023, the City started the process

appropriate without compromising connectivity for emergency
vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, and users of mobility devices.
Local Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Project
Federal regulations require each state to develop a Strategic
Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) to reduce traffic accident fatalities and
serious injuries on all public roadways. While the SHSP is used as a
statewide approach for improving roadway safety, a Local Road
Safety Plan (LRSP) is the means for providing City-owned roads with
the opportunity to address unique highway safety needs in their
jurisdictions while contributing to the SHSP. The City applied for and
was awarded a grant by Caltrans to develop an L RSP. The City’s
LRSP was completed, and its findings were presented to the City’s
Traffic and Transportation Commission 2022. An LRSP is a
recommended prerequisite to apply for specific State Grant
applications, including HSIP Grants which are awarded to implement
the recommendations in the LRSP. In 2022, the City submitted a
Caltrans Cycle 11 HSIP Grant application with a list of proposed
traffic improvements. The City was awarded over $300K HSIP grant
funding in 2023. The project engineering design started in late 2023.
The goal is to complete the design work in spring 2023 and
immediately start the bidding process for construction and
installation. The project will improve pedestrian and cyclist safety at
nine main intersections of the City with high-visibility crosswalks,
upgraded signal heads, and pedestrian crosswalk counter heads.

data for type, location, severity, and cause and update the collision
reduction program as needed.
Due to higher-than-normal collision rate observed in 2023 at
Diamond Bar Blvd and Mountain Laurel, the City implemented a
project to change the signal system at this location from
protected/permissive left-turn phasing to protected-only left-turn
phasing at this intersection. Protected/permissive left-turn phasing
provides a protected phase (green arrow) during one interval and
allows unprotected turns (on a circular green) to be made through
gaps in the opposing traffic flow during another interval. With this
new change, vehicles can make a left turn only during the left turn
green arrow. This required changes to the lanes arrangement and
the signal heads at the intersection. The City will monitor the other
protected/permissive left-turn intersections City-wide for collision
causes and rates to implement similar changes, if needed.

Battery Back-Up and CCTV Replacement Program
Battery backup units are a critical part of the City’s public safety
efforts as they allow traffic signals to operate fully for a short period
and then operate on red flash for several hours in an emergency
resulting in a power outage. CCTV cameras display live feeds of the
City’s most heavily used intersections, allowing staff to view and
diagnose any traffic or public safety concerns quickly. The City
implemented a multi-year program to replace battery backup
systems that have reached their useful life on the City’s 66 signalized
intersections. The City is also implementing CCTV cameras at
intersections that do not already have them. The year 2 of the project
was completed by 2023.

• Building & Safety implements CALGreen. Whenever a
building permit is issued for construction, CALGreen requires
the building inspector to verify the reduction of dust and
volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Dust control measures
include watering of dirt on projects that are moving earthwork
and VOCs are limited in quantity by requiring materials with
certified lower VOCs be used.
• Through the implementation of the California Energy Code
and CALGreen, more efficient equipment and reduced VOC’s
are required respectively. The CA Energy Code requires
highly efficient heating and cooling systems through requiring
high seasonal energy efficiency ratings and energy efficient
materials such as low-E (low emissivity) windows. The CA
Energy Code also requires high efficacy lighting, energy
efficient switching and sensors, certified cooktop hoods,
rooftop solar installations in new construction, and mostly
instantaneous water heaters for new construction. CALGreen
requires low emitting architectural coatings through limiting
the VOC’s and requiring certified listed low-emitting products

8. Housing – 2021-2029 (6th Cycle) Housing Element Program Evaluation
PROGRAM # OBJECTIVES STATUS
HOUSING
The Housing Element, which has been certified by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on October 5, 2022, identifies and makes provisions for existing and future housing needs.
While most of these enabling policies require the participation of the private sector, the City also actively participates in implementation by budgeting a portion of its annual Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
allocation and state Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds to administer the City’s Home Improvement Program (HIP). The HIP provides zero-interest deferred loans of up to $30,000 to eligible low-income
households to perform essential home repairs and improvements. Low-income households are also eligible to participate in the Los Angeles County Community Development Commission’s CDBG -funded Home
Ownership Program (HOP) for first-time homebuyer assistance.
The City will file the Housing Element Annual Progress (APR) with HCD and Office of Planning and Research (OPR) by April 1, 2024, which outlines progress on the implementation of the adopted 2021-2029 (6th Cycle)
Housing Element. The table below summarizes the 2021-2029 Housing Element housing programs offered through the Community Development Department along with program objectives, accompli shments, and
implementation status.
1. Residential Neighborhood Improvement
Program
Continue to implement the code enforcement program, and direct eligible
households to available rehabilitation assistance to correct code violations.
Provide focused code enforcement and rehabilitation assistance for 5 to 6
households during the planning period in neighborhoods evidencing
concentrations of deteriorating units.
The City continues to operate the code enforcement program. This program is
successful and is being continued. Code enforcement cases have increased in
number and complexity due to factors including aging housing stock and the
declining financial resources of longtime residents. The code enforcement
officers and building inspectors are typically the first public officials to learn
which homeowners lack the financial resources to correct property maintenance
5.5.a
Packet Pg. 108
Page 44 of 49
PROGRAM # OBJECTIVES STATUS
violations, and in the process, become aware of other deferred maintenance
issues. The officers carry copies of the City’s Home Improvement Program (HIP)
brochures and inform homeowners potentially in need of assistance that the City
offers no-interest, deferred loans for essential home repairs.
2. Home Improvement Program
Improve neighborhoods evidencing deferred maintenance through property
maintenance and rehab. Provide minor repair and rehabilitation to 4 units
annually.
The City allocates at least $100,000 of its annual CDBG award to the Home
Improvement Program. The HIP provides zero-interest loans of up to $30,000
to low- and very-low-income homeowners, which do not need to be repaid
unless the home is sold or refinanced. There is a waiting list of pre-screened
applicants, and HIP loans are processed in the order received.
On June 20, 2023, the City Council approved the expansion of the HIP to utilize
both CDBG and PLHA funds to broaden the scope of homeowners eligible to
receive HIP loans. Key changes of the updated HIP Program Policies are
highlighted below:
• The maximum loan amount for single-family detached homes increased from
$20,000 to $30,000.
• Owner-occupants of condominiums that meet the household income
requirements are now eligible for HIP loans for up to $20,000, provided that
PLHA funds are available. The maximum loan amount is lower than the cap
for single-family detached homes because costlier improvements, such as
roof maintenance and exterior repairs, are the responsibility of the
condominium HOAs, not the individual homeowners.
• PLHA funds may be used to issue loans to households (both single -family
detached and condominium) earning up to 150% of the Area Median Income
(AMI) for L.A. County. CDBG funds continue to be restricted to owner-
occupied households of single-family detached housing earning no more
than 80% of AMI.
• A minimum loan amount of $10,000 is now required. Previously, no
minimum was specified. Establishing a minimum loan amount encourages
homeowners to address more improvements at once, and provides
economies of scale with respect to the administrative costs associated with
processing loans.
The HIP is successful in improving housing conditions and is being continued at
available funding levels.

3. Section 8 Rental Assistance Program Continue to direct eligible households to the County Section 8 program.
This program is beneficial in reducing problems such as overpayment and
overcrowding. City continues to coordinate with the County on the Section 8
program. Handouts are available at the public counter and contact information
is regularly provided to requestors. The program is being continued.
4. Preservation of Assisted Housing Preserve 100 percent of the 149 low- and moderate-income units in The
Seasons Apartments.
Diamond Bar contains only one assisted housing project, the 149-unit Seasons
Apartments (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). All units
will be preserved.
5. Mobile Home Park Preservation Continue to support preservation of the City's two mobile home parks as
important affordable housing resources.
Zoning for mobile home parks is successful in preserving this affordable housing
option and is being continued. No proposals to close the parks were submitted.
The City will continue to support preservation of its two mobile home parks as
important affordable housing resources.
6. First-time Homebuyer Assistance
Programs
Advertise County's Home Ownership Program (HOP) and Mortgage Credit
Certificate (MCC) and provide information to interested homebuyers. In addition,
the City will work with realtors to make them aware of these programs.
The City advertised these programs on the City website and will provide
information to interested homebuyers annually via City newsletters and through
social media. In addition, the City will work with realtors to make them aware of
these programs.
7. Senior and Workforce Housing
Development
Identify and evaluate sites suitable for new senior and workforce housing. The
City will post information on the City website during the first year of the planning
period 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 annually to identify potential partnership
opportunities for affordable housing.
This program is intended to encourage affordable housing development and is
being continued. The City is a member of the San Gabriel Valley Regional
Housing Trust (SGVRHT), which is a joint powers authority. SGVRHT’s focus is
primarily on providing funding assistance in the planning and construction of
new homeless and affordable housing. The Trust provides funding and loans to
help bridge funding gaps for affordable housing projects. Land Use Policies 10
and 28, which were adopted in the 2019 General Plan Update, also encourage
the production of senior and workforce housing.
8. Land Use Element and Zoning
Maintain adequate sites for housing development at all income levels in
conformance with the RHNA and ensure compliance with No Net Loss
requirements. Process Development Code amendments to provide adequate
sites to accommodate the RHNA. Update all regulat ions and fees on the City
website annually throughout the planning period. Notify water and sewer
providers immediately upon adoption of the Housing Element.
The City has maintained adequate sites for housing development at all income
levels and ensure compliance with No Net Loss requirements. In May 2022, the
City entered into a Consultant Services Agreement with Torti Gallas + Partners
to prepare the Town Center Specific Plan (TCSP) in the Town Center Mixed-
Use focus area, which is one of the sites to accommodate the RHNA. Continual
progress has been made on the Specific Plan during the planning period.

immediately upon adoption of the Housing Element.
9. Mixed Use Development
Prepare handout and marketing materials encouraging mixed -use development
where appropriate and make it available to interested developers throughout the
planning period.
In December 2019, the City adopted the Comprehensive General Plan Update
that created community visions and blueprint for growth and development in the
City through 2040. One of the key features of the new General Plan was the
establishment of three new Focus Areas where substantial land use changes
are planned as part of a strategy to provide walkable mixed-use activity centers.
Goals and policies to promote mixed use developments are as follows: Land
Use Goals 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 22, 24, 26, Land Use Policies 15 , 16, 21, 23,
27, 28, 29, 35, 45; Community Character and Placemaking Goals 7, 8, 14, 17;
and Circulation Goal 4.
In May 2022, the City entered into a Consultant Services Agreement with Torti
Gallas + Partners to prepare the Town Center Specific Plan in the Town Center
Mixed-Use focus area. The TCSP will provide the regulatory and urban design
framework to establish a downtown, or “Town Center” in Diamond Bar as a
walkable place with entertainment, retail, restaurants, community gathering
spaces, and urban housing opportunities. This program is an important
component of the City’s overall strategy to revitalize older areas and expand
housing production. On March 22, 2023, the City held a community meeting to
provide an update to the public on the TCSP. The evening presentation provided
a recap, suggested preferred plan and alternatives, affordable housing options,
concept of the “Road Diet” along Diamond Bar Boulevard and how to create a
human scale. 35 residents attended the meeting.
See Land Use Chapter Goal LU-G-4 and Policy CC-P-21.
10. Accessory Dwelling Units Continue to encourage construction of ADUs through an informational handout
available at City Hall and on the City website throughout the planning period.
In 2017, the City approved an amendment to the municipal code pertaining to
accessory dwelling units to satisfy all of the requirements of Government Code
§§65852.150-65852.2. Per AB 68 (Ting), AB 587 (Friedman), AB 671
(Friedman), AB 881 (Bloom), SB 13 (W ieckowski) that went into effect
January 1, 2020. In 2021 the City adopted a subsequent amendment to ADU
regulations in accordance with the new State laws. The City is currently drafting
another Development Code amendment for consistency with the most recent
passages of AB 2221 (Quirk-Silva) and SB 897 (Wieckowski). The Code
amendment is tentatively scheduled for Planning Commission hearing on May
14,2024. The updated ADU Ordinances have been effective in supporting the
production of ADUs and provides affordable rents to low- and moderate-income
households. An ADU handout has been created which is being distributed at the
public counter. The City continues to encourage accessory dwelling units and
this program is being continued.

32 building permits for ADUs totaling 22,685 square feet were issued.
11. Housing for Persons with Special Needs
Continue to facilitate emergency shelters and transitional/ supportive housing
and continue participating with LAHSA and SGVCOG on efforts to address
homelessness throughout the planning period. Process an amendment to the
Development Code to allow supportive housing, low barrier navigation centers
and large residential care facilities consistent with State law.
The City is currently drafting a Development Code amendment to allow
supportive housing and low barrier navigation centers consistent with State law
and to replace or modify the CUP requirement to provide greater objectivity and
development certainty for residential care facilities serving seven or more
persons in all residential zones. The Code amendment is tentatively scheduled
for Planning Commission hearing on May 14, 2024.
12. Affordable Housing Incentives/ Density
Bonus
Amend the Development Code in 2021 consistent with current Density Bonus
Law and continue to encourage the production of affordable housing through
the use of density bonus and other incentives.
This program is being continued in compliance with recent changes to State
density bonus law. City staff discusses opportunities for affordable housing and
density bonuses with developers for housing projects. As mentioned above, an
inclusionary housing requirement is also being considered for the TCSP, in
addition to other incentives to increase density. The density bonus program is
among several tools the City utilizes to facilitate affordable housing. The City is
currently drafting a Development Code amendment for consistency with current
Density Bonus Law. The Code amendment is tentatively scheduled for Planning
Commission hearing on May 14, 2024.
The City is also a member of the San Gabriel Valley Regional Housing Trust
(SGVRHT), which is a joint powers authority. SGVRHT’s focus is primarily on
providing fundings assistance in the planning and construction of new homeless
and affordable housing. The Trust provides funding and loans to help bridge
funding gaps for affordable housing projects.
13. Efficient Project Processing Continue to offer streamlined development processing, and periodically review
departmental processing procedures to ensure efficient project processing.
The City continues to offer efficient permit processing. As a small city, staff is
able to work closely with applicants through the review and approval process,
thereby helping to expedite the entitlement process to issuance of building and
zoning permits. In addition, the City has several procedures in place to minimize
project review times, which include concurrent processing, pre-application
reviews, and recently adopted General Plan EIR, which allows for individual
projects that fall within the scope of the EIR to utilize this as environmental
clearance under CEQA.
Practices to streamline the issuances for residential projects such as room
additions and ADUs have been implemented to eliminate the need to submit a
separate application for Planning prior to applying for building permits. The
pandemic accelerated implementation of online permit services, and by June
2020, applicants were able to submit applications, plans and payments entirely
online. In 2023, the City embarked on the implementation of a new permitting

software (Enterprise Land Management system), which will eventually
streamline City processes and project processing. This program will be further
enhanced through revisions to the Development Code.
14. Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing
Explore and pursue alternative land use strategies and make necessary
amendments to zoning and other land use documents to facilitate a variety of
housing choices, including but not limited to higher density opportunities on
religious, institutional and quasi-institutional lands, missing middle zoning in
addition to SB9 such as SB10, adaptive reuse, more than one JADU per
structure, acquiring and adding affordability to existing structures and upzoning
with the goal of 50 housing opportunities in the planning period.
On December 21, 2021, the City adopted an urgency ordinance to expand the
housing supply in single-family zones by allowing for lot splits and duplexes
under the parameters of SB 9. The City intends to adopt a permanent ordinance
during the planning period.
The City continues to distribute fair housing information at the public counter
through brochures, and refers fair housing related complaints to the Housing
Rights Center.
15. Reasonable Accommodation for
Persons with Disabilities
Continue to implement reasonable accommodation procedures for persons with
disabilities in compliance with SB 520.
The City supports the provision of housing for disabled persons through zoning
opportunities for transitional housing, reasonable accommodation procedures,
and programs to facilitate affordable housing. In 2010, the City adopted an
ordinance to facilitate reasonable accommodations. This program is an
important component of the City’s overall efforts to address the special housing
needs of persons with disabilities and is being continued and revised to include
additional amendments to City regulations to incorporate recent changes to
State law.
The City is currently processing a Development Code amendment to ensure that
reasonable housing accommodation procedures do not inadvertently act as a
constraint on persons with disabilities. The Code amendment is tentatively
scheduled for Planning Commission hearing on May 14, 2024.

Climate Action Plan
CAP POLICIES AND ACTIONS IMPLEMENTATION GENERAL PLAN GOALS & POLICIES
CLIMATE ACTION PLAN (“CAP”)
A Climate Action Plan is a comprehensive inventory of specific activities a public agency should undertake to reduce greenhou se gas (“GHG”) emissions that originate within its jurisdiction. The City of Diamond Bar
adopted a Climate Action Plan concurrently with the General Plan Update to document how it will be able to reduce its GHG emissions in compliance with State mandates and goals to the year 2040, which is the horizon
year for the General Plan Update. The table below lists the General Plan Update goals and policies that have been implemented to reduce GHG emissions, quantifies emissions reductions, and explains how these
policies and actions will be implemented and organized according to the following categories: 1. Pedestrian Improvements and Increase d Connectivity; 2. Bikeway System Improvements; 3. Traffic Calming; 4. Electric
Vehicle Infrastructure; 5. Parking Facilities and Policies; and 6. Transportation Improvements.
1. Pedestrian Improvements and
Increased Connectivity
The General Plan Update includes policies that create more walkable, livable neighborhoods by expanding the multi -
modal transportation system and creating a safe, pedestrian -oriented environment. Providing an improved pedestrian
network and increasing connectivity encourages people to walk more and results in people driving less, causing a
reduction in vehicle miles traveled (VMT).

CC-P-21: See status above.
2. Bikeway System Improvements
The General Plan Update provides strategies for maximizing multi -modal accessibility to and connectivity within mixed
use areas, including the Metrolink Station and new Town Center. With the total bicycle improvements listed in the General
Plan Update, there would be approximately 2.4 miles of bike lanes per square mile. Diamond Bar currently has
approximately 2,840 people per square miles. This corresponds to a 0.06 percent reduction in VMT emissions.

CC-G-5: See status above.
CC-P-7: See status above.
CR-G-2: See status above.
CR-P-30: See status above.
CR-P-43: See status above
3. Traffic Calming
A 0.25 percent reduction in VMT was assumed to occur from the traffic calming improvements to make streets safer and
more comfortable for pedestrian travel. Traffic calming devices include roundabouts, corner bulb -outs, speed cushions,
surface textures, raised pavement, road narrowing, and other devices that encourage people to drive more slowly or to
walk or bike instead of using a vehicle, especially for short trips in and around residential neighborhoods.
CR-P-4: See status above.
CR-P-21: See status above.
CR-P-22: See status above.
CR-P-23: See status above.
4. Electric Vehicle Infrastructure
A 0.05 percent reduction in VMT was assumed to occur from installation of electric vehicle infrastructure, which will
encourage Diamond Bar residents, businesses, and the City vehicle fleet to switch to clean fuel and electric vehicles in
order to reduce energy use and cost and transportation related GHG emissions.
RC-P-28: See status above.
5. Parking Facilities and Policies
Parking policies reflect both the necessity of providing for adequate and appropriately located vehicle and bicycle parking
in existing and new development, and priorities related to safety, urban design, and transportation management. Reduced
parking standards and other policies reducing parking availability have an estimated 5 to 12.5 percent VMT reduction.
Conservatively assuming the effect of General Plan parking reduction strategies would result in the lower end of VMT
reduction, the cumulative reduction from implementations would result in a 5 percent VMT reduction.
N/A
6. Transportation Improvements
Transit service can provide an alternative to automobile travel and is a critical mode of transportation for those who cannot
drive or do not have access to a vehicle. The General Plan policies support Metrolink ridership by improving bus, bicycle,
and pedestrian connections to the station and by introducing Transit-Oriented Mixed-Use development around the station.
Conservatively assuming the combined effect of these strategies, summing the low end of the VMT reduction ranges
gives a 0.62 percent reduction in VMT emissions.

FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager
TITLE: CREATION OF A NEW SPECIAL REVENUE FUND TO MANAGE
TRANSACTIONS USING THE CITY'S PERMANENT LOCAL HOUSING
ALLOCATION ("PLHA") GRANT FUNDS.
STRATEGIC
GOAL:
Responsible Stewardship of Public Resources
RECOMMENDATION:
A. Approve a new Special Revenue Fund No. 224 ("PLHA Housing Fund") to manage
program activities with Permanent Local Housing Allocation ("PLHA") grant funds;
B. Establish a revenue budget of $358,416 and an expense budget of $358,416 in
Fund 224 for the issuance of HIP/CHIP loans with PLHA funds administered by the
Los Angeles County Development Authority; and
C. Determine that the proposed action does not constitute a project and is therefore
exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”).
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The PLHA Program is a SB 2 funded program that provides an ongoing annual source
of funding through State Property Transfer Fees. The City has been allocated a
combined $649,080 in funding for Years 1 through 3 of the PLHA Program based on the
State’s allocation formula. For FY 2023/24, the City has been allocated $358,416. No
additional funding is required to participate in the program. Under the City’s contract
with the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA), the City must first fund
PLHA-eligible activities through normal budget expenditures, and then submit
reimbursement requests to LACDA.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The PLHA Program was approved by the State legislature in 2017. It is designed to
provide an ongoing annual source of funding for the construction of affordable housing,
5.6
Packet Pg. 115
programs to assist persons who are experiencing or are at risk of homelessness, or
other housing-related assistance programs for low-to-moderate income households.
Similar to the Community Development Block Grant program for non -entitlement cities,
the PLHA funding is first allocated to a regional entity, in this case the Los Angeles
County Development Authority (LACDA). The funding is then distributed to individual
participating cities according to an allocation formula.
On June 20, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023 -25 approving the
City’s participation in the PLHA Program to expand the Home Improvement Program by
increasing the maximum loan amount from $20,000 to $30,000, and extending the
program to income-eligible condominium owners, and authorizing the City Manager to
enter into a reimbursable contract with LACDA.
Shortly after the City Council’s action, LACDA advised its participant cities that, because
State funds were involved, prevailing wage requirements may apply to all PLHA funded
activities. If true, the use of PLHA funds to issue HIP /CHIP loans would not have been
feasible because home repair contractors typically cannot pay prevailing wages for the
types of home improvements envisioned under the City’s HIP. The execution of the
reimbursable contract was thus tabled pending a final interpretation on the applicability
of prevailing wages to PLHA-funded HIP/CHIP loans.
On February 29, 2024, LACDA informed the City that our PLHA-funded HIP/CHIP
projects are exempt from prevailing wages. As a result, staff directed LACDA to
proceed with the execution of the reimbursable contract to enable the City to begin
issuing HIP and CHIP loans.
The creation of a new Special Revenue Fund No. 224 is recommended for Council
approval which will be used to record all PLHA-sourced transactions, enabling staff, its
auditors and other stakeholders to readily track how these monies are being used, and
assure that the funds are being managed in compliance with applicable program
policies and interagency contracts. In addition, it is also recommended that the Council
establish a FY 2023/24 revenue budget of $358,416 and expenditure budget of
$358,416 for the new Fund 224.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”). As such, this matter is exempt under CEQA.

TITLE: PURCHASE OF A NEW RICOH IM C8000 COLOR COPIER AND A
RICOH IM 8000 BLACK AND WHITE COPIER WITH PROFESSIONAL
INSTALLATION SERVICES.
STRATEGIC
GOAL:
Responsible Stewardship of Public Resources
RECOMMENDATION:
A. Approve and Authorize the City Manager to issue a Purchase Order to Advanced
Office (Integrus), Inc. for the purchase of a new Ricoh IM C8000 color copier and a
Ricoh IM 8000 black and white copier with professional installation services in the
not-to-exceed amount of $36,889.46.
B. Appropriate $36,890 from the Technology Reserve Fund (104) Fund Balance to the
Equipment Maintenance and Replacement Fund (503) for the purchase of two
copiers.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
An appropriation of funds is required from the Technology Reserve Fund (104) in the
amount of $36,890 which will be transferred to the Equipment Maintenance and
Replacement Fund (503) Computer Equipment-Hardware Expenditure account
(503230-56130) to ensure there are sufficient funds available for this purchase.
BACKGROUND:
The daily operations of the City rely on the use of computers, specialized networks, and
associated hardware and software to create, process, and store digital information and
communicate with the public. The color copier in the City Manager’s department and the
black and white copier in the Recreation/Finance department at City Hall are utilized by
all departments. The current Ricoh C5503 color copier in the City Manager’s
department was purchased in 2015 and was scheduled to be replaced in FY 25/26 and
the current Ricoh MP7502 black and white copier in the Recreation/Finance department
5.7
Packet Pg. 118
was purchased in 2014 and was scheduled to be replaced in FY 24/25. Unfortunately,
after the most recent service call for both copiers the service vendor informed staff that
parts will no longer be available for both copiers after the first quarter of 2024. As a
result, if any hardware failure should occur the City will no longer be able to receive
service or support for the copiers. Thus, the Ricoh C5503 and Ricoh MP7502 copiers
have reached the end of their useful life and need to be replaced.
ANALYSIS
Consistent with the purchasing ordinance, the City publicly solicited bids. Three vendors
submitted bids, including Pacific Office Automation, Advanced Office (Integrus), Inc, and
Wisecom Technologies Inc. The bid from Pacific Office Automation was disqualified
because it did not agree to the requirements of the bid. The remaining qualified bidders
include:
Bidder Bid Amount
Advanced Office (Integrus), Inc $36,889.46
Wisecom Technologies Inc $48,765.33
Staff has reviewed the bids for pricing and compliance finding that the bid from Advance
Office (Integrus), Inc. is competitively priced, and meets the requirements of the City’s
purchasing Ordinance. Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council approve the
purchase of two new copiers in the amount of $36,889.46, including the appropriation of
funds. While this particular purchase falls under the City Manager’s spending authority,
the City has made separate year-to-date purchases with this vendor that cumulatively
exceed the $45,000 threshold when combined with the recommendation in this report
and must be approved by the City Council.
