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 Packet Pg. 48
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 MultiFamily 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 lowincome, 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.

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 (QuirkSilva) 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.

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.

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 quasiinstitutional 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.

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:

State Law requires each city to prepare and adopt a comprehensive, long-term General Plan to guide its physical development. The General Plan is a policy document comprised of goals and policies for implementation. In the fall of 2016, the City embarked on a comprehensive update to the General Plan to create a community vision and blueprint for the City through 2040. The City Council adopted Diamond Bar General Plan 2040 on December 17, 2019.

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.

The City Council is asked to review and approve the annual report for submittal to OPR and HCD. This report is due to HCD by April 1, 2024.

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 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 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 well as Policies LU-P-7, LU-P-8, ED-P-3, CC-P-5, CC-P-9, CC-P-16-18, 21-23, 25- 26, 32-33, 41-51, CR-P-39-40 and CHS-P-14-15.
• 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, social, 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 foundation 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:

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.

Diamond Bar Boulevard Complete Streets Corridor
The initial design of the Diamond Bar Boulevard Complete Streets Project was completed in 2020. In light of the new TCSP and to implement the City’s new vision for the Town Center area, a redesign effort for a reimagined complete street was started in 2023. The design work is scheduled to be completed in 2024. The City secured $3 million in Metro grant funding for construction. To ensure adequate funding for the project, the City submitted multiple grant funding requests, and eventually, in 2023, an additional $4M was awarded to the Project under the State’s Transportation Commission’s Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 6 Metropolitan Planning Organization allocation.

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.

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 LRSP. 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.

Develop a prioritized program to implement measures to reduce traffic collisions at collision hot spots. Continue to monitor collision 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 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.

Use of fuel-efficient heating equipment, and other appliances, such as water heaters, swimming pool heaters, cooking equipment, refrigerators, furnaces, boiler units, and low or zero-emitting architectural coatings. c. Use of clean air technology beyond what is required by South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), leveraging State and local funding sources.
• 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 including paints and sealants.

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 (6 th Cycle)
Housing Element. The table below summarizes the 2021-2029 Housing Element housing programs offered through the Community Development Department along with program objectives, accomplishments, 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

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 owneroccupied 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.

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 MultiFamily 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 lowincome, 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 regulations 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 MixedUse focus area, which is one of the sites to accommodate the RHNA.

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.

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 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.

PROGRAM # OBJECTIVES STATUS
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

PROGRAM # OBJECTIVES STATUS
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 greenhouse 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 Increased 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 multimodal 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-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.

FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager
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.
