AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: 6.1
MEETING DATE: December 10, 2024
CASE/FILE NUMBER: General Plan Conformity Analysis of a Proposed
Acquisition of the Little League/PONY Property
for Future City Park and Recreation Use
BACKGROUND:
Since the early 1960s, Diamond Bar PONY/Little League ("PONY") has operated a
volunteer -driven non-profit youth baseball league for local participants. PONY has
hosted games and practices at the league -owned Stevens Field facility, located at
22601 Sunset Crossing Road (APNs 8718-005-005 and 8718-005-006) in Diamond Bar
("PONY property") since 1969. The PONY property is approximately 10.23 acres and
features four unlighted baseball fields (two of which are currently unmaintained), batting
cages, seating areas, and a number of outbuildings. The site is located directly across
the street from the Diamond Bar/Walnut YMCA facility and immediately adjacent to a
City -owned undeveloped park site (APNs 8718-005-900 and 8718-005-901). The deed
of the property restricts the property to be used for the recreational benefit of the people
of the community of Diamond Bar, consistent with its more than 50-year history of local
use.
Declining enrollment over a number of years has made it fiscally unsustainable for
PONY to maintain services, the Stevens Field property, and the volunteers necessary to
ensure the league can remain effective and operational. In early 2024, the PONY
Board of Directors and City staff began negotiations to facilitate a transfer of ownership
of the PONY property to the City for long-term use as a City park/recreational facility.
Acquisition provides the City with a large parcel of land in a parkless neighborhood with
the opportunity to maintain and expand public park and recreational use for youth and
adult sports programs in a manner consistent with the Parks Master Plan. Further, the
location offers a unique opportunity to leverage the City's adjacent undeveloped park
site with the 10.23-acre PONY property to create what could ultimately be the City's
second-largest public park.

Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65402(a) (Attachment 2), before real
property may be acquired for a public purpose, the Planning Commission must review
the proposed acquisition for conformity with the City's General Plan and adopt a
resolution to record its findings (Attachment 1).
ANALYSIS:
Staff finds that the proposed acquisition of the Little League/PONY property for future
City park and recreation use is consistent with the following General Plan 2040's Goals
and Policies:
Land Use & Economic Development Element
• Policy LU-P-52: When opportunities arise, collaborate with public service
providers and agencies including, but not limited to, the Los Angeles County
Department of Parks and Recreation, Walnut Valley and Pomona school districts,
Los Angeles County Sherriff's Department, Los Angeles County Fire Department,
and Walnut Valley Water District to designate and pursue acquisition of land for
public facilities as necessary to serve unmet facility needs of Diamond Bar
residents.

and Recreation Use Page 2 of 4
Packet Pg. 9
6.1
• Policy LU-P-53: Ensure adequate parkland to serve the recreational needs of
Diamond Bar residents by providing for a range of park sizes and amenities,
equitably distributed throughout the city. Where necessary to adequately expand
the park system and/or provide specialized recreational facilities and
programming as identified in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, actively
pursue the acquisition of additional parkland.
Public Facilities & Services Element
• Goal PF-G-1: Maintain and expand the system of parks, recreation facilities,
open spaces, and trails that meet the active and passive recreational needs of
residents of all ages and abilities.
• Policy PF-P-7: Endeavor to distribute new parks equitably throughout Diamond
Bar, striving to ensure that residents are within a 3/4 mile radius of a neighborhood
park or community park.
Community Health & Sustainability Element
• Policy CHS-P-1: Strive to ensure that all areas of the community have an equal
distribution of public parks and public recreational facilities to maximize access.
The proposed acquisition of the Little League/PONY property for future City park and
recreation use is found to be exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) because "the activity is covered by
the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects, which have the potential for causing
a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is
no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the
environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA." Therefore, no further environmental
review is required.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR,
CALIFORNIA, FINDING THAT THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF THE LITTLE

incorporating all State mandated elements;
(iii) WHEREAS, on December 17, 2019, the City of Diamond Bar adopted its
Comprehensive General Plan Update incorporating all State mandated elements;
(iv) WHEREAS, the PONY Board of Directors and City staff began negotiations to
facilitate a transfer of ownership of the PONY property to the City for long-term
use as a City park and recreation use due to declining enrollment over a number
of years at the Diamond Bar PONY/Little League, which made it fiscally
unsustainable for PONY to maintain services, the Stevens Field property, and the
volunteers necessary to ensure the league can remain effective and operational;
(v) WHEREAS, the area to be acquired by the City is approximately 10.23 acres,
and would become a public park and recreational use for youth and adult sports
programs in a manner consistent with the City's Parks Master Plan. Furthermore,

undeveloped park site with the 10.23-acre PONY property to create what could
ultimately be the City's second-largest public park.

CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65402
Conformity with the General Plan
65402. (a) If a general plan or part thereof has been adopted, no real property shall be
acquired by dedication or otherwise for street, square, park or other public purposes, and
no real property shall be disposed of, no street shall be vacated or abandoned, and no
public building or structure shall be constructed or authorized, if the adopted general plan
or part thereof applies thereto, until the location, purpose and extent of such acquisition
or disposition, such street vacation or abandonment, or such public building or structure
have been submitted to and reported upon by the planning agency as to conformity with
said adopted general plan or part thereof. The planning agency shall render its report as
to conformity with said adopted general plan or part thereof within forty (40) days after the
matter was submitted to it, or such longer period of time as may be designated by the
legislative body.
If the legislative body so provides, by ordinance or resolution, the provisions of this
subdivision shall not apply to: (1) the disposition of the remainder of a larger parcel which
was acquired and used in part for street purposes; (2) acquisitions, dispositions, or
abandonments for street widening; or (3) alignment projects, provided such dispositions
for street purposes, acquisitions, dispositions, or abandonments for street widening, or
alignment projects are of a minor nature.
(b) A county shall not acquire real property for any of the purposes specified in paragraph
(a), nor dispose of any real property, nor construct or authorize a public building or
structure, in another county or within the corporate limits of a city, if such city or other
county has adopted a general plan or part thereof and such general plan or part thereof
is applicable thereto, and a city shall not acquire real property for any of the purposes
specified in paragraph (a), nor dispose of any real property, nor construct or authorize a
public building or structure, in another city or in unincorporated territory, if such other city
or the county in which such unincorporated territory is situated has adopted a general
plan or part thereof and such general plan or part thereof is applicable thereto, until the
location, purpose and extent of such acquisition, disposition, or such public building or
structure have been submitted to and reported upon by the planning agency having
jurisdiction, as to conformity with said adopted general plan or part thereof. Failure of the
planning agency to report within forty (40) days after the matter has been submitted to it
shall be conclusively deemed a finding that the proposed acquisition, disposition, or public
building or structure is in conformity with said adopted general plan or part thereof. The
provisions of this paragraph (b) shall not apply to acquisition or abandonment for street
widening or alignment projects of a minor nature if the legislative body having the real
property within its boundaries so provides by ordinance or resolution.
(c) A local agency shall not acquire real property for any of the purposes specified in
paragraph (a) nor dispose of any real property, nor construct or authorize a public building
or structure, in any county or city, if such county or city has adopted a general plan or part
thereof and such general plan or part thereof is applicable thereto, until the location,
purpose and extent of such acquisition, disposition, or such public building or structure
have been submitted to and reported upon by the planning agency having jurisdiction, as
Packet Pg. 15
6.1.b
to conformity with said adopted general plan or part thereof. Failure of the planning
agency to report within forty (40) days after the matter has been submitted to it shall be
conclusively deemed a finding that the proposed acquisition, disposition, or public building
or structure is in conformity with said adopted general plan or part thereof. If the planning
agency disapproves the location, purpose or extent of such acquisition, disposition, or the
public building or structure, the disapproval may be overruled by the local agency.
Local agency as used in this paragraph (c) means an agency of the state for the local
performance of governmental or proprietary functions within limited boundaries. Local
agency does not include the state, or county, or a city.
