TITLE: CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT VEHICLE MILES
TRAVELED SIGNIFICANCE THRESHOLDS UPDATE.
STRATEGIC
GOAL:
Safe, Sustainable & Healthy Community
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2024-12 adopting the updates to the CEQA VMT significance
thresholds.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No financial impact.
SUMMARY:
California Senate Bill 743 (SB 743, 2013) fundamentally altered the way transportation
impacts are measured under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Prior to
SB 743, such impacts were measured by the increase in traffic congestion generated by
new development projects: the metric used was called “Level of Service,” or LOS. SB
743 established “Vehicle Miles Traveled” (VMT) as the new transportation impact
metric, with the aim of encouraging development projects that “are built in a way that
allows Californians more options to drive less.”1 In essence, SB 743 established that a
transportation impact occurs if a project leads to an increase in overall VMT, while any
increase in traffic congestion (i.e., a reduction in LOS) is no longer defined as an
environmental impact. VMT analyses in CEQA documents were required statewide as
of July 1, 2020.
The City, with guidance provided by the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments
(SGVCOG), drafted VMT thresholds for use in Diamond Bar CEQA documents, which
were adopted by the City Council in 2020. The current SGVCOG VMT Tool is based on
VMT outputs from the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) 2016

Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS) trip -based
model (TBM) and needs to be updated to be consistent with the 2020 RTP/SCS activity -
based model (ABM). The change of both the model simulation platform (trip -based
model to activity-based model) and the underlying data, such as traffic counts and
socioeconomic data, resulted in changes to the VMT threshold numbers and low VMT
areas.
This report describes the changes in VMT, more specifically, the change in the number
of low VMT areas that meet the low VMT screening criterion, discusses the SGVCOG
recommendations, and includes a draft Resolution to adopt CEQA transportation
thresholds that comply with State guidance and align with the City’s policies, goals, and
objectives.
BACKGROUND:
In March 2020, the City entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with the SGVCOG
to participate in the San Gabriel Valley VMT Analysis Model. The City of Diamond Bar
is one of 26 SGVCOG member cities that opted into the SGVCOG SB 743
Implementation process.
On July 21, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution 2020 -30, approving VMT
significance thresholds for three different VMT metrics pursuant to guidance provided
by the State’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR). Following adoption of VMT
thresholds, the SGVCOG VMT Evaluation Tool was developed for the participating
cities to use for assessing the potential VMT impacts of proposed projects.
The current SGVCOG VMT Evaluation Tool is based on VMT outputs from the 2016
RTP/SCS trip-based model and needs to be updated to be consistent with the 2020
RTP/SCS activity-based model (ABM). As with every RTP update, the regional travel
demand model is updated to reflect the latest population, employment, and traffic
count information (socioeconomic data).
The SGVCOG participating cities were aware that the model would be changing from
TBM to ABM and had anticipated that the change may prompt them to change the
adopted baseline for their VMT significance thresholds. However, the cities did not
anticipate that the updated data would result in more significant changes to low VMT
areas than the conversion to an activity -based model (refer to Attachment 2,
Memorandum to SGVCOG Dated November 27, 2023). The recommendation herein
recognizes the following: 1) every four years the SCAG RTP/SCS will be updated,
prompting an update to the regional travel demand model; 2) the City’s low VMT areas
are based on the SCAG model; 3) low VMT areas under each of the three geographic
baselines are likely to change when the SCAG model is updated; and 4) the City
intends to use the baselines that maximize the number of “low VMT” screening areas
and to set the most achievable bar for reaching a given threshold.
ANALYSIS:
Baseline Data Differences (2016 vs. 2020 RTP/SCS)
5.4
Packet Pg. 42
The SCAG 2016 RTP/SCS is based on traffic counts collected in 2012, the 2012
roadway network, 2012 transit network and ridership information, land use information,
and other socio-economic inputs. The 2020 RTP/SCS is based on the same datapoints
collected in 2016. This is the first update to the RTP since the SGVCOG participating
cities adopted VMT thresholds of significance. The changes in the underlying data
significantly altered the low, moderate, and high VMT-generating areas throughout the
SGVCOG region for each of the three baseline alternatives (City, Southeast Subarea,
and SGVCOG Region). In some cities under their adopted baseline, an area considered
a low VMT area using the 2016 RTP model became a high VMT area using the 2020
RTP model. And under different baselines, the reverse occurred. This is important
because the selection of baselines for determining VMT significance may impact a city’s
ability to approve projects. For example, if a developer selected a location for a housing
project based on the city’s low VMT areas for residential uses and compatibility with the
city’s general plan, but the SCAG model was updated and the area became a high VMT
area for housing before they submitted their application, then the project would likely
require the City to certify an environmental impact report (EIR) and adopt a statement of
overriding considerations to move forward. Not only would this scenario significantly
delay project approval, but it would delay construction of housing in an area designated
for housing and result in higher priced housing units.
The City of Diamond Bar is located in the Southeast Subarea of the SGVCOG region.
According to the City of Diamond Bar Transportation Study Guidelines for Vehicle Miles
Traveled and Level of Service Assessment (September 2020), the City adopted the City
baseline VMT as the benchmark to determine CEQA transportation impacts for all
project types (residential, employment, and mixed-use/regional retail).
Pursuant to the OPR Guidance, cities can adopt different baselines based on project
types, and states that employment based VMT thresholds should use subregional or
regional baselines. For employment generated VMT (VMT/employee), it is
recommended that the City adopt the highest of two baselines (Southeast Subarea or
SGVCOG) to set the most achievable bar for employment generating uses. The City’s
current threshold is appropriate for Total VMT per service population (OD VMT/SP) and
for home-based VMT (VMT/capita), but it is recommended that the City adopt the
highest of the three baselines (City, Southeast Subarea, or SGVCOG Region) to set the
most achievable bar for reaching the given threshold. Adopting this change will allow
the City to approve projects that both align with the City’s General Plan and meet CEQA
requirements in a timely manner.
Environmental Review:
The CEQA VMT Thresholds Update has been assessed in accordance with the
authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and
the State CEQA Guidelines. The adoption of local CEQA thresholds of significance for
transportation impacts and the adoption of Local Transportation Assessment Guidelines
will not have a significant environmental impact and are exempt from the CEQA
pursuant to Section 15308 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations because the
two actions are undertaken by the City for the protection of the environment. The
revised CEQA thresholds will be compliant with a State mandate (SB 743) and will be
used in a regulatory process (CEQA process) that involves procedures for the
5.4
Packet Pg. 43
protection of the environment. Accordingly, the City Council will consider the
recommendation to find the Resolution exempt from the environmental review
requirements of CEQA pursuant to Section 15308 of Title 14 of the California Code of
Regulations.
Planning Commission Recommendation
On March 12, 2024, the Planning Commission reviewed the updates to the CEQA VMT
Significance Thresholds and by a 4-0 vote, the Commission recommended that the City
Council adopt the updates. The Planning Commission Resolution is included in
Attachment 3.

VMT Baselines and Thresholds of Significance
Consistent with State CEQA guidelines section 15064.3, the City of Diamond Bar has adopted
the project baselines and thresholds of significance set forth in Table 1 to guide in determining
when a project will have a significant transportation impact.
Table 1
Project Type Thresholds
Land Use Plan 1) Project Impact: A significant impact would occur if the VMT
rate for the plan would exceed the applicable baseline VMT
rate.
2) Cumulative Project Effect: A significant impact would occur
if the project increases total regional VMT compared to
cumulative no project conditions.
Land Use Project 1) Project Impact: A significant impact would occur if the VMT
rate for the project would exceed the applicable baseline
VMT rate.
2) Cumulative Project Effect:
A significant impact would occur if the project increases
total regional VMT compared to cumulative no project
conditions.
Retail Project (over 50,000
square feet)
1) Project Impact: A significant impact would occur if the VMT
rate for the project would exceed the applicable baseline
VMT.
2) Cumulative Project Effect: A significant impact would occur
if the project increases total VMT in the study area
compared to baseline conditions.
Transportation Project A significant impact would occur if the project causes a net
increase in total regional VMT compared to baseline conditions,
opening year no project conditions, or cumulative no project
conditions.
All land use and
transportation projects
A significant impact would occur if the project is inconsistent with
the RTP/SCS.
VMT thresholds for each VMT type shall be based on the currently available SCAG RTP/SCS model.
The thresholds for each VMT type are 15 percent below the baseline VMT that sets the most achievable
VMT target. The VMT per employee threshold for employment-generating projects shall be based on 15
percent below either the SGVCOG Southeast Subarea or SGVCOG Region, whichever results in the
largest numerical value. The VMT per capita thresholds for residential projects may be based on the City,
SGVCOG Southeast Subarea, or SGVCOG Region, whichever results in the largest numerical value. The
VMT per service population thresholds for mixed-use projects may be based on the City, SGVCOG
Southeast Subarea, or SGVCOG Region, whichever results in the largest numerical value.

Subject: City of Diamond Bar
Analysis of the City’s VMT Thresholds (Deliverable 2.3)
OC20- 0715.02
This technical memorandum summarizes the vehicle miles traveled (VMT) differences between the
SCAG 2016 and 2020 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities (RTP/SCS) models
and how these differences may affect the thresholds for vehicle miles of travel (VMT) impact
analyses in the City of Diamond Bar (the City). The current SGVCOG VMT Tool is based on VMT
outputs from the 2016 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS)
trip-based model (TBM) and needs to be updated to be consistent with the 2020 RTP/SCS
activity-based model (ABM). The change of both the model simulation platform (trip-based
model to activity-based model) and the underlying data, such as traffic counts and socio-
economic data, results in changes to the VMT threshold numbers and low VMT areas. The
following memorandum describes the changes in VMT, and more specifically, the change in the
number of low VMT areas that meet the low VMT screening criterion.
VMT Calculations
For the purpose of updating the SGVCOG VMT Evaluation Tool, we first considered how the
change in model platforms (trip-based to activity-based) would change the low VMT areas in the
City. In addition to the model platform, the change in the underlying inputs to the model (e.g.,
population, employment, traffic counts, etc.) also resulted in changes to the low VMT areas as
illustrated by the differences between the 2016 and 2020 Total VMT per total population and
employment (OD VMT/SP). This calculation is the same for both model versions, therefore, the
change in low VMT areas shown in Table 1 for OD VMT/SP reflects the effect of the new data
inputs only, whereas the changes to home-based VMT per capita and work-based VMT per
5.4.b
Packet Pg. 50

Page 2
employee are combinations of data updates and the change in model methodologies (trips
versus tours).
Model Methodology Comparisons
The SCAG 2016 RTP/SCS trip-based model (TBM) VMT methodology includes all trips within the
SCAG model for each of the following variable formats:
1. Origin-Destination (OD) VMT per Service Population (all vehicles
and all trip purposes): The total VMT to and from all traffic analysis
zones (TAZ) in the geographic area are divided by the total service
population to calculate the efficiency metric of VMT per service
population. Service population is defined as all residents and
employees of the zones being evaluated. The image shows a visual
representation of OD VMT per Service Population for a single
project. To calculate it for a set geography, an analyst determines
the total VMT produced to or from the geography divided by the total population plus
employment of that same geography.
2. Home-based VMT per capita (automobile only): All home-based trips are traced back to
the residence of the trip-maker. Trips without an origin or
destination from home are excluded. For example, if you leave
home and stop for coffee, then for gas, and then at the store before
returning home, the trip from coffee to the gas station and from
the gas station to the store would be deemed an “other to other”
trip and omitted from HB VMT. The image shows a visual
representation of Home-Based VMT per capita for a single home.
3. Home-based work VMT per employee: Captures only the segment of
the trip to work that directly connects home to work. All stops along
the way to or from work are defined as work to/from other and are not
part of the HBW VMT calculation. The image shows a visual
representation of Home-Based work VMT per employee for a single
home.

The SCAG 2020/RTP/SCS model, an activity-based model (ABM), is quite different than the TBM
because it considers the entire linked trip, or tour, that a person makes when leaving home or
commuting to work. Whereas the calculation for total VMT per service population is the same
under both models, the home-based and home-based work calculations are different.
1. OD VMT per Service Population (all vehicles and all trip purposes): The total VMT to and
from all zones in the geographic area are divided by the total service population to
calculate the efficiency metric of VMT per service population. This metric is the same as
described above for the TBM.
2. VMT per capita (automobile only): Considers VMT for all tours
embarked upon by residents, encompassing both Single Occupancy
Vehicle (SOV) and High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) drivers (drivers
only). The VMT is divided by the population within the geographic
area. This method includes all trips made by the population of the
geographic area, including those that do not directly start or end at
home. For example, if you leave home and stop for coffee, then for
gas, and then at the store before returning home, all of these legs
of the trip together would be a “tour” and they are all included in
the calculation. The image shows a visual representation of tour-based VMT per capita for
a single home.
3. VMT per employee: Encompasses VMT for all work-related tours,
encompassing both work and work-related business. The VMT is
divided by the employees within the geographic area. For example, if
a person commutes to work, then has a lunch meeting and runs a
work errand mid-day, and then commutes home from work stopping
at the gym on the way, all of these legs are summed together as
work-related tours and are included in the calculation.
Baseline Data Differences (2016 vs. 2020 SCAG RTP/SCS)
The SCAG 2016 RTP/SCS was calibrated and validated based on traffic counts collected in 2012,
the 2012 roadway network, 2012 transit network and ridership information, land use information,
and other socio-economic inputs. The 2020 RTP/SCS was calibrated and validated based on the
datapoints collected in 2016. The changes in the underlying data affected the low VMT areas
within the SGVCOG region. To conduct comparative VMT results, the VMT from the SCAG 2016
RTP/SCS and 2020 RTP/SCS were both interpolated to 2023 baseline in the next VMT Comparison
section.

VMT Comparison
Diamond Bar is located in the Southeast Subarea of the SGVCOG
region. According to the City of Diamond Bar Transportation
Study Guidelines for Vehicle Miles Traveled and Level of Service
Assessment (August 2020), the City adopted the City of Diamond
Bar (City) baseline VMT as the benchmark to determine CEQA
transportation impacts for all project types (residential,
employment, and mixed-use/regional retail). A comparison of
the number of low VMT areas under the 2016 versus the 2020
RTP using the City’s adopted threshold (15% below the City’s
baseline) is shown in Table 1.
Table 1: Comparison of Low VMT Areas Using Diamond Bar’s Adopted VMT Baseline (2016 vs. 2020 RTP/SCS)
Pursuant to the OPR Guidance, cities can adopt different
baselines based on project types and states that employment-
based VMT thresholds should use subregional or regional
baselines. The City’s current threshold (City) is appropriate for
Total and home-based VMT types, but the City should consider
using the Southeast as the baseline for employment-based VMT
(VMT/Employee) consistent with OPR’s guidance. The threshold
for Total VMT, since it is a mix of both residential and
employment, can use any baseline.
Table 2 shows the comparison of the thresholds for the different
baseline options (SGVCOG, Southeast Subarea, and City) using
the 2020 RTP model. The higher thresholds result in the ability to
screen out more projects, whereby more transportation analysis
zones (TAZs) generate less miles of travel per person than the
baseline. For example, for Total VMT per service population (OD
VMT/SP), a project that generates 31.7 miles of travel per person
would exceed the thresholds for the SGVCOG and the Southeast
Subarea of 28.93 and 31.67 miles per person, respectively but
would fall below the City threshold (31.85 miles). The numbers in
bold in Table 2 are the basis for the comparisons in Table 3 and
serve as the thresholds that would achieve the lowest VMT
thresholds and that are consistent with OPR’s guidelines. As
previously stated, the OPR Guidelines recommend a subregional

or regional VMT threshold for analyzing employment-generating
projects. The City currently uses the City of Diamond Bar’s
employment VMT rate as the threshold. Changing the threshold
from City to Southeast Subarea would result in the conversion of
three low and four moderate VMT zones to seven high VMT
zones.
Table 2: Baseline VMT Rates
In Table 3 below, based on the 2020 RTP, the Adopted Threshold
(City) is compared to an alternative threshold. The City threshold
continues to maximize low VMT areas for all project types,
however, the OPR Guidance recommends a regional baseline for
employment based VMT. The table below reflects the Southeast
rather than the City threshold for employment generating
projects, which results in seven more red areas, three fewer blue
areas, and four fewer yellow areas as reflected in Table 3 and in
the maps.

The 2023 baseline VMT maps reflecting the City’s adopted VMT baseline under both the 2016 and
2020 RPT, as well as the alternative thresholds for consideration are shown in Attachments A-C.
Conclusion
This analysis compares the VMT metric options for CEQA VMT analysis purposes between the
2016 RTP/SCS and 2020 RTP/SCS SCAG regional travel demand model. The following provides
takeaways based on this analysis:
• The SCAG regional model changed formats from a “trip-based” model to a “tour-based”
activity-based model. This change, along with changes in traffic volumes, transportation
behavior and socioeconomic conditions between the 2016 and 2020 RTP/SCS planning
documents, resulted in changes to the way average VMT metrics are calculated and the
actual VMT results throughout the region.
• A thorough comparison of VMT metrics and changes in the VMT was conducted to
understand the implications for CEQA VMT analysis.
• Retaining the City’s current thresholds of significance maximizes the number of “low
VMT” screening areas; however, it is recommended that the City consider the use of
Southeast for screening employment-based VMT consistent with OPR’s guidance.
Next Steps
The findings for each participating SGVCOG city will be evaluated by each city to determine if the
thresholds should be changed. Changing the thresholds will require City Council approval.

Meeting Date: April 16, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager
TITLE: CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN THE LOS ANGELES URBAN
COUNTY PERMANENT LOCAL HOUSING ALLOCATION ("PLHA")
PROGRAM.
STRATEGIC
GOAL:
Responsible Stewardship of Public Resources
RECOMMENDATION:
A. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-13 approving the City's participation in Year 4 of the
Los Angeles Urban County PLHA Program; identifying proposed activities for the
expenditure of $145,682 in PLHA funding; and authorizing the City Manager to
sign a reimbursable contract with the Los Angeles County Development Authority
("LACDA"); and
B. Determine that the proposed action does not constitute a project and is therefore
exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”).
FISCAL 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 $145,682
in funding for Year 4 (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026) PLHA Program
based on the State’s allocation formula. No additional funding is required to participate
in the program. If the City does NOT request the funds and identify a purpose for them,
the funds will be returned to the State.
BACKGROUND
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,
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.
Like the City’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program allocations, the
5.5
Packet Pg. 71
PLHA funding is first allocated to the Los Angeles County Development Authority
(LACDA). The funding is then distributed to individual participating cities according to
an allocation formula. The City was allocated a combined total of $649,080 for PLHA
Program Years 1 through 3 (i.e., calendar years 2023 through 2025)
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.
On April 1, 2024, LACDA issued a bulletin (Attachment 2) listing the Year 4 PLHA
funding allocations for each participating city. Diamond Bar is listed as eligible to
receive $145,682 in Year 4 PLHA funding. To begin receiving these funds, the City is
required to adopt and submit a City Council resolution to LACDA by May 31, 2024,
listing the program activities that will be funded.
Pursuant to the rules set forth by LACDA, Year 4 funds must be fully expended by
December 31, 2026.
DISCUSSION
The SB 2 legislation relating to PLHA funds specifies what eligible activities these funds
can be used to finance. Activities can be broadly categorized as follows:
1. Activities related to the construction or preservation of affordable housing or
supportive housing;
2. Matching funds to regional housing trusts;
3. Homelessness services and prevention programs;
4. Accessibility modifications for lower-income, owner-occupied housing;
5. Acquisition and rehabilitation of foreclosed or vacant homes; and
6. Programs that expand homeownership opportunities including but not limited to
down-payment assistance programs.
Of the eligible activities listed above, it is recommended that the City allocate its Year 4
PLHA allocation to continue funding the Home Improvement Program and
Condominium Home Improvement Program. The proposed programming of these
funds is summarized below:
• Home Improvement Program (HIP) – $56,545
The HIP offers deferred loans to eligible low- and moderate-income homeowners of
single-family detached housing for necessary home improvements, as well as
repairs to mitigate building and safety code deficiencies and/or violations. The City’s
5.5
Packet Pg. 72
HIP policies currently provide interest-free, deferred loans of up to $30,000 to
eligible households. Loans become payable when the homes are sold or
refinanced.
The minimum and maximum loan amounts under this program are $5,000 and
$30,000, respectively. The City proposes to allocate a portion of its PLHA award to
fund at least two HIP loans. CDBG funds are available to accommodate additional
participation in the program.
• Condominium Home Improvement Program (CHIP) – $60,000
The CHIP offers deferred loans to eligible low- and moderate-income homeowners
of residential condominiums and townhomes. The program is administered
essentially the same manner as the HIP, but the loan amount is capped at $20,000
because costlier improvements, such as roof maintenance and exterior repairs, are
the responsibility of the respective condominium homeowners associations. The
proposed allocation of $60,000 would fund at least three loans through the end of
2026. Unlike the HIP, CDBG funds cannot be used for CHIP loans, so excess
demand would have to be accommodated in the subsequent program year.
Alternatively, the City may make adjustments to the PLHA funding allocations
between the two programs, if appropriate. For example, If the demand for CHIP
loans is higher than anticipated, the City could reallocate funds from the HIP
allocation.
• Administration of the HIP and CHIP - $29,136
The use of PLHA funds to cover administrative costs is capped at 20%.
Therefore, $29,136 of the PLHA award is proposed to be set aside to pay
consultant costs to administer these programs.
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.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the Resolution as to form.

TO: PARTICIPATING CITIES
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide our Participating Cities (Cities) an update on the
Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program (PLHA) funding for Year 4.
The State of California Department of Housing and Community Development released the NOFA
for Year 4 in December 2023 and announced that the County of Los Angeles (County) will
receive an allocation of $9,451,755.00. Funding has experienced a significant change from
previous years due to the real estate transactions in 2022. Cities who have a State-approved
Housing Element are invited to follow the instructions below to program their PLHA Year 4
allocation to implement eligible affordable housing programs. Cities can continue to fund existing
projects using funding from multiple years.
Attachment A provides the new PLHA Year 4 allocation amounts available to Cities that qualify
and wish to utilize these funds for current or new eligible activities. To receive PLHA Year 4
funding, Cities with a State-approved Housing Element who wish to use their available allocation
for PLHA Eligible Activities, must submit a Letter of Intent and proposed Exhibit A form to opt-in
and receive funding. If applicable, the Letter of Intent must include concise details of the
proposed Activity and Sub-Activity and describe how the City will spend the funds by December
31, 2026.
Please consider the complexity of the project being proposed, available resources, and whether
the funding amount can be expended by the expenditure deadline. Because the shared allocation
limits the amount of funding available to each jurisdiction, PLHA may not be the best funding
source for all eligible activities. If you intend to make a change to an existing project that will
reallocate funding by 10% or more, LACDA cannot guarantee a timely reimbursement and you
may experience a delay in funding. If a city does not submit a Letter of Intent, the available
allocation will be retained by the County and reallocated to Countywide program(s).

TITLE: ARBOR DAY PROCLAMATION
STRATEGIC
GOAL:
Safe, Sustainable & Healthy Community
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Proclamation declaring April 26, 2024 as Arbor Day.
BACKGROUND:
The Arbor Day Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting tree
planting and environmental stewardship, issues a proclamation annually to celebrate
Arbor Day. This proclamation serves as a rallying call for individuals, communities, and
organizations to come together and recognize the importance of trees in sustaining life
on Earth. Through this initiative, the Arbor Day Foundation seeks to inspire people to
take action, whether by planting trees, participating in community greening projects , or
simply appreciating the vital role that trees play in maintaining a healthy and balanced
ecosystem. The proclamation serves as a reminder that each tree planted contributes to
a greener, more sustainable future for generations to come.
The Tree City USA program, sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in partnership
with the U.S. Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters,
encourages communities to manage and care for their public trees. To achieve the Tree
City USA designation, a city must meet four core standards:
1. Tree Board or Department:
• Establish a city tree board or department responsible for the care and
management of public trees.
2. Public Tree Care Ordinance:
• Adopt and maintain a community tree ordinance.
5.6
Packet Pg. 81
3. Community Forestry Program with a Budget:
• Allocate financial resources for a community forestry program.
4. Arbor Day Observance and Proclamation:
• Celebrate Arbor Day by holding an official observance and proclamation.
The event should involve the community and demonstrate a commitment
to tree planting and care.
Cities that meet these standards annually receive the Tree City USA designation,
acknowledging their dedication to effective urban forest management. The program
aims to promote the numerous benefits of trees, such as improved air and water quality,
reduced energy consumption, and enhanced quality of life for residents.
The City of Diamond Bar is once more pursuing re-certification as a Tree City USA. This
prestigious award is bestowed upon cities that demonstrate a sincere and dynamic
commitment to fostering the preservation of our natural habitat and trees. Since 2001,
the City has consistently earned this recognition annually, underscoring its enduring
dedication to environmental stewardship and tree care.
Attached is a proclamation naming April 26, 2024 as “Arbor Day”.

BACKGROUND:
On October 3, 2023, the City Council approved a consulting services agreement with
Black O'Dowd and Associates, Inc. (Consultant) to prepare final design and construction
drawings for the Heritage Park and Community Center Renovation Project Phases 1
and 2 (CIP# FP24502).
In a City Council Study Session on February 20, 2024, Council Members reviewed the
design concepts for the Project. It was the consensus of the City Council to proceed
with Option B for the Community Center building and Option B for the shade structures.
Community Center Option B is intended to elevate the facility beyond its current level
providing a greater value to the community and includes the following features:
• Adds approximately 1,200 square feet of new floor area and reconfigures
approximately 1,200 square feet of existing floor area representing an
approximate 55% increase in the existing building size.
• Adds a new entrance space.
• Expand the catering kitchen, along with a new separate kitchen storage area.
• Adds a new second office (in addition to the existing office) that can be used for
activities, one-on-one meetings with parents and other administrative purposes.
• Adds new ADA-compliant indoor restrooms and janitorial closet.
• Converts the existing restrooms to additional storage space.
• Removes the existing outdoor detached restroom building replacing it with a new
ADA-compliant attached outdoor restroom.
• Expands the existing activity room by removing the existing toddler restroom and
relocating it to the new attached outdoor restroom building (with exclusive interior
access).
Shade Structure Option B includes the following features:
• Architectural design inspired by the City’s windmill theme.
• Adds approximately 1,000 square feet of new shaded area highlighting the
entrance to the Community Building.
• Adds approximately 2,150 to 2,300 square feet of new shaded patio area on the
rear and side of the existing community room.
7.1
Packet Pg. 85
Comments received at the Study Session included:
• Explore options to expand and add more indoor/outdoor access to the
community room in the Community Center building.
• Consider blending Site Plan Options A and B to provide a more usable picnic
area and realign the basketball court to better take advantage of existing site
conditions.
• Provide additional design concepts for the playground theme and equipment for
further consideration.
ANALYSIS:
Based on the comments received from the City Council at the February 20th Study
Session, the following has been developed, as provided in Attachment 1.
Building Floor Plan
The project team reassessed the feasibility of expanding the community room using the
Option B floor plan selected by the City Council. The assessment concluded that due to
the foundation, structural, and roofing system s of the existing building, such expansion
would be infeasible and cost-prohibitive without significant demolition and reconstruction
of the building. Therefore, no further expansion of the community room footprint is
proposed.
However, new pedestrian doors and windows have been added to the west wall of the
community room to further enhance indoor/outdoor accessibility and connection
between the room and the back patio, which will be covered by the new shade structure
in the back (south and west) of the building.
Further improvements have also been proposed for the catering kitchen expansion and
its associated storage room.
Site Plan Layout
The picnic and barbecue area has been redesigned to include a more functional picnic
area that is less linear and the basketball court has been realigned to better take
advantage of existing site conditions, drainage and providing for additional perimeter
landscaping.
Playground Equipment
Two new design concepts have been developed for the playground.
Concept #3 offers a modernized approach to the City's equestrian ranch history by
having cutouts of the historic windmill and the distinctive view of Diamond Bar's rolling
hills. This design boosts the user's play experience by increasing the play opportunities
and focusing on the interactive features. Playground users have two options to access
the playground: a ramp from the sidewalk or access from the woodchips into the play
7.1
Packet Pg. 86
equipment. The playground is intended to have playground wood chips for the entire
play experience. The playground features bucket swings, a rotating play feature, and an
interactive touch panel. The playground also features ranch-style play structure
canopies, and the overall theme's colors resemble a soothing lagoon in the countryside.
These interactive touch panels could feature ranch atmospheric sounds, such as a
cattle bell. Perimeter play features also include a modern playhouse and wood-themed
stepper elements.
Concept #4 plays directly into the architectural theme and the City's Arabian horse
ranch history. This equestrian beginning marks the start of this City's origin , and the
design follows the city's transition into the modernized city it is now. The windmill stands
as the City's remaining historic monument and this design plays homage to Diamond
Bar's history by incorporating a distinctive windmill play piece at the top of the 5 -12 play
structure. Playground users have two options to access the playground: a ramp from
the sidewalk or access from the woodchips into the play equipment. The playground is
intended to have playground wood chips for the entire play experience. The playground
also features a climbable tractor, a rocky terrain, a horse stable, ranch-style play
structure canopies, a modernized wooden net course, and play panels to enhance the
user's experience. These play panels offer a fun opportunity for children of all ages, and
the tractor is a unique climbing feature for simulated play. Perimeter play featu res
include horse corral themes and wood-themed stepper elements.
Probable Costs
The (preliminary) probable cost estimate for the construction of this Project is $15M.
This estimate is expected to change as the design work progresses and again after the
Project goes through the construction bidding process.
Furthermore, prior to construction, funding options need to be developed for
consideration by the City Council as the Project moves forward through the final design
process.
Agreement Amendment
The design work in the original agreement is focused on Phases 1 and 2 of the
renovation work as defined in the original concept plans prepared and approved by the
City Council in 2019. That concept did not include an addition to the Community Center
building floor plan and a shade structure in front of the building, among other additions.
Due to the additional work stemming from enhancing and improving the functionality of
the building (e.g., new activity room, new storage and support room, new and upgraded
kitchen area, new entry area, and shade structures), the Consultant proposed additional
scope of work to what was included in the original agreement. A First Amendment is
proposed for the Consultant’s agreement as provided in Attachment 2.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This project has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA). The approval of the amendment to Consultant Services Agreement for
7.1
Packet Pg. 87
design services is not subject to environmental review pursuant to Article 18 (Statutory
Exemptions), Section 15262 of the CEQA Guidelines . No further environmental review
is required.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the amended agreement as to form.

City of Diamond Bar, Public Works
Re: Extra Fee for Additional Architectural-Engineering Services for Bigger Building & Structure
Diamond Bar Heritage Park Renovation
Now that the Schematic Design has been submitted and mostly accepted by the City Council, we wish to reconcile
our Scope of Work with our Fee. We are requesting an Extra Fee for the additional Scope of Work that shown on
Option B for the Community Center building. The additional scope is that the building grew bigger by an additional
1200sf, and a front entry shade structure was added. As you may recall, the original scope was that the building
addition on the East side would only include a renovated kitchen, storage and new interior restrooms. Now, the
building addition will include a brand new and bigger kitchen with greater functionality, kitchen storage, and restrooms,
along with new park offices, janitor room, and community room storage.
The original scope included only a simple shade structure in the back of the Community Center (facing the park). We
now include a large shade structure in front of the building with a tall iconic entry tower, symbolic of the City’s historic
windmill. The new shade structure in the back of the building is designed to appear compatible and complimentary,
with similar heavy timber framing as the front. The shade structure in the front will be ideal to serve the many kids who
wait at the front of the Community Center to be picked up by their parents. And in the back, the new expansive shade
structure will expand the use of the large community room from the indoor to the shaded outdoor. Additionally, it will
provide shaded picnicking and encourage other large outdoor gatherings.
We want to also include 3 additional fees. One for added survey work needed by our Surveyor/Civil Engineer, DMS,
Surrender Dewan. This fee is $2500 for DMS + 15% markup = $2900. The City provided land survey was not
completely adequate and DMS had to do additional surveyor work to allow the landscape architect to design their site
plan overlay. Secondly, the City provided past soils reports for the Heritage Park site, but were not adequate for
structural engineering, and percolation needs. We will need to procure additional test boring under the building
expansion and additional test pits under the future bio-swale locations. See attached geotechnical fee proposal from
ASE. We had previously indicated in the original fee proposal that this additional geotechnical fee would be $10,000.
Thirdly, because the original Community Center drawings could not be found, we will need to do destructive testing
(scanning, coring, digging) to verify the composition of the existing CMU walls and foundations. This will enable our
structural engineer to justify new roof loading onto the existing CMU walls and foundations. The fee is $15,385 for
DeepScan + 15% markup = $17,700. See attached destructive testing fee proposal from DeepScan.
This extra fee is based on amount of time we estimate that it will take to refine and to complete the added scope, and
secondly, a percentage of the construction cost. For the time we estimate will take to complete the added scope, we
have attached a spreadsheet showing the amount of time and cost to complete each task. See attached
spreadsheet.
We are requesting an Extra Fee of $117,700 for the additional scope stated above. If approved, the overall project
design fee will now be $362,300 Original Fee + $117,700 Extra Fee = $480,000 total overall fee . However, we wish
to reconcile the Scope of Work with our Fee before we get too far into the Construction Document phase of design. If
you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me personally at (310) 480 -7730 cell.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
In accordance with your request by on March 4, 2024, Associated Soils Engineering, Inc. (ASE) is privileged
to submit this fee proposal for the performance of geotechnical consulting and engineering services for the
proposed community center addition, landscaping, infiltration system and site improvements (the
Improvements) to be located at Heritage Park, e.g. 2900 South Brea Canyon Road, in the City of Diamond
Bar, California. This proposal has been prepared based on: 1) ASE’s review of the provided project
information, in particular References 1 through 4 listed above, 2) ASE’s past experience with similar
projects in the vicinity of the Site, 3) ASE’s review of area geologic literature relevant to the Site.
SCOPE OF GEOTECHNICAL CONSULTING & ENGINEERING
Based on ASE’s understanding of the proposed works and review of the references, the following is ASE’s
proposed scope of services and estimated budgets:

a. Performance of site reconnaissance to identify site features that might impact the proposed
geotechnical investigation, and to mark four (4) suitable locations for the ensuing exploratory
drilling, followed by 72-hour notification to the Underground Service Alert (USA).
b. Review of publicly available geotechnical, geological and seismological data and literature relevant
to the Site, in particular References 1 and 2. The preliminary review of CGS’s seismic hazard map
pertinent to the Site indicates that the Site is located within liquefaction hazard zone.
c. Excavation, sampling and logging of two (2) exploratory hand auger boring extending to maximum
depths of up to 15 feet below the existing ground surface to determine general subsurface
conditions and to delineate any other soil and geologic parameters that may affect the proposed
development. Existing slabs or pavements will be patched with cold patch asphalt or rapid set
concrete where applicable.
d. Excavation of two (2) shallow test boring to five (5) feet deep for percolation testing. If the Project
Civil Consultant prefers specific areas on-site for future stormwater LID system installation, ASE will
locate the percolation test holes in those specific areas once such information is available to ASE
prior to our field investigation. ASE proposes to advance the percolation test holes with hand auger
on the same day when performing geotechnical field investigation aforementioned under Item c
above, followed by performing field percolation tests in the test holes utilizing water from a ASE-
transported water tank, in accordance with the Los Angeles County procedures modified to test the
cross sectional zone of typical soils within the level of anticipated storm water infiltration (e.g.
approximately 1 foot to 5 feet below existing grade). The results of field percolation testing will be
based upon for the calculation of the allowable design infiltration rates.
e. Performance of geotechnical laboratory testing for the determination of soil’s classification,
gradation, in-situ density/moisture, maximum dry density/optimum moisture content of soil
materials encountered during site investigation to provide basis for subsequent engineering
analyses.
f. Performance of geotechnical evaluations and analyses based on field findings and laboratory test
data, followed by assembly of recommendations for pertinent design parameters and construction
criteria for remedial grading, foundations, slabs, ancillary improvements, pavements, and utilities,
in compliance with pertinent 2022 CBC and Couty of Riverside requirements.
g. Preparation of a Report of Geotechnical Investigation (the Soils Report) presenting our findings,
conclusions and recommendations, which includes, but not limited to, site subsurface soils
conditions and stratification, groundwater depth, geologic and seismic hazard assessment and
mitigation, data and results obtained from field investigation and laboratory testing, remedial
grading criteria, design and construction parameters of temporary excavation and shoring, building
foundation, slab-on-grade, pavements, and utility trenches. The Soils Report will also address the
