2 WHEREAS, on June 18, 2024, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing regarding the proposed Development Code Amendment; and
WHEREAS, the City Council hereby finds that the proposed amendments are internally consistent with the General Plan and other adopted goals and policies of the City and adopts the facts and reasons stated in Planning Commission Resolution No. 2024-06, a copy of which is on file with the City Clerk and which is incorporated herein by reference with the same force and effect as if set forth in full.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

(3) Floor Area Ratio (FAR). When calculating the allowable floor area of a structure based on the FAR established by the applicable zoning district, the fractional/decimal results of calculations shall be rounded to the next highest whole number when the fraction/decimal is 0.5 or more, and to the next lowest whole number when the fraction is less than 0.5. For example, a maximum floor area ratio of 0.25 applied to a site of 25,856 25,853 square feet results in a maximum allowable floor area of 7,757 6,463 square feet (25,856 25,853 x .025 0.25 = 7,756.8, rounded up to 7,757 6,463.25, rounded down to 6,463). The maximum FAR itself (0.09, 0.25, etc.) is never rounded.

CHAPTER 22.18. - SPECIAL PROCEDURES APPLICABLE TO HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
PROJECTS
Sec. 22.18.010 – Affordable housing incentives/density bonus provisions. (a) Purpose. The purpose of this section is to implement the incentive programs provided in Government Code Sections 65915 through 65918 (referred to collectively in this Section as the “State Density Bonus Law”) in order to provide additional opportunities for the provision of affordable housing within the City of Diamond Bar.
(b) Applicability. This section applies to any “housing development,” as defined in the State Density Bonus Law, including, without limitation, a development project for five or more residential units, including a mixed-use development, or a senior citizen housing development consisting of at least 35 units. This section also applies to density bonuses for land donations in accordance with Government Code Section 65915. In exchange for density bonuses, incentives or concessions, waivers or reductions of development standards, and/or reduced parking ratios, a portion of the units shall be reserved for very low income households, lower income households, senior citizen households, moderate income households, transitional foster youth, disabled veterans, homeless persons, or lower income college students as provided in this section and the State Density Bonus Law. All such projects shall comply with all requirements stated in the State Density Bonus Law and shall be subject to the subdivision, plot plan review and/or development review requirements of this title, as applicable. This section shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the State Density Bonus Law, as it may be amended from time to time, and the requirements of the State Density Bonus Law shall prevail over any conflicting provision of this Development Code.
(c) Definitions. As used in this section 22.18.010, the terms base density, concession, density bonus, development standard, disabled veterans, homeless persons, housing development, incentive, located within one-half mile of a major transit stop, lower income households, lower income student, maximum allowable residential density, moderate income households, persons

9 and families of moderate income, qualified nonprofit housing corporation, replace, senior citizen housing development, shared housing building, shared housing unit, total dwelling units, total units, transitional foster youth, unit, unobstructed access to the major transit stop, very low income households, and very low income vehicle travel area shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the State Density Bonus Law, as it may be amended from time to time. (d) Determination of density bonus. Qualified projects that meet the eligibility requirements set forth in this section and/or the State Density Bonus Law shall be granted a density bonus or bonuses in an amount specified in the State Density Bonus Law, as it may be amended from time to time. Eligibility for and/or calculation of a density bonus shall be subject to the following:
(1) A density bonus is a density increase over the otherwise maximum allowable gross residential density for a site as of the date of application by the applicant to the city. For the purpose of calculating the density bonus, the maximum allowable residential density, or base density, shall be the greatest number of units allowed on the site under the Development Code, an applicable specific plan, or the land use element of the General Plan. Each component of any density calculations, including base density and bonus density, resulting in fractional units shall be separately rounded up to the next whole number.
(2) Except as otherwise required by the State Density Bonus Law, the density bonus units shall not be included when determining the number of required affordable units or senior citizen units.
(3) The developer can request a smaller density bonus than the project is entitled to, including no increase in density, but no reduction shall be permitted in the number of required affordable units.
(4) For purposes of calculating the amount of the density bonus, an applicant who requests a density bonus shall elect the category and corresponding provision of the State Density Bonus Law pursuant to which the density bonus will be awarded.
Unless otherwise specified in this Section or the State Density Bonus Law, each residential development is entitled to only one density bonus, and density bonuses from more than one category may not be combined.
(5) The granting of a density bonus and/or related concession(s) or incentive(s) shall not be interpreted, in and of itself, to require a general plan amendment, zone change, study, or other discretionary approval.
(6) Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65915.5, the conversion of apartments to a condominium project shall not be eligible for a density bonus or other incentives if the apartments proposed for conversion constitute a housing development for which a density bonus or other incentives were previously provided under Government Code Section 65915.
(e) Specific requirements.
(1) Senior citizen housing requirements.
5.4.a
Packet Pg. 74
Ordinance No. 03 (2024)

(2) Land donation requirements. An applicant for a tentative map, parcel map or any other residential development approval shall receive a density bonus for the residential development in an amount specified by Government Code Section 65915, as it may be amended from time to time, when the applicant donates land to the city as provided in this section. This density bonus shall be in addition to any other density bonus provided for in this section, up to a total combined density bonus of 35 percent. Applicants are eligible for the land donation density bonus if all of the following conditions are met:
a. The developer shall donate and transfer land to the city no later than the date of approval of the final map or other approvals required for the residential development.
b. The developable acreage and general plan and zoning designation of the land being transferred are sufficient to permit development of units affordable to very low income households in an amount not less than 10 percent of the number of residential units of the proposed development. c. The transferred land shall be at least one acre or of sufficient size to permit development of at least 40 residential units and shall have the appropriate general plan designations and be appropriately zoned with appropriate development standards for development at a density of at least 30 dwelling units per acre.
d. The transferred land shall be served by adequate public facilities and infrastructure.
e. The transferred land and the very low income units constructed shall be subject to a deed restriction recorded with the county recorder, to ensure continued affordability of the units consistent with this Section, and the property owner shall enter into an affordable housing agreement with the city pursuant to this Section. The deed restriction / affordable housing agreement shall be recorded on the property at the time of the transfer. f. The transferred land shall be conveyed in fee simple to the city or to a housing developer approved by the city.
g. The transferred land shall be within the boundary of the proposed residential development, or no more than approximately one-quarter mile from the boundary of the qualified project, if the city so approves. h. No later than the date of approval of the final map or other discretionary approval required for the residential development, the transferred land shall

11 have all of the permits and approvals, other than building permits, necessary for the development of the very low income housing units on the transferred land, and a proposed source of funding for the very low income units shall have been identified.
(3) Child care facility requirements.
a. Subsect to subsection (e)(3)(c), below, the city shall grant either of the following to a qualifying housing development that includes a child care facility located on the premises of, or adjacent to, the project:
i. An additional density bonus that is an amount of square feet of residential space equivalent to the square footage of the childcare facility; or
ii. An additional concession or incentive that contributes significantly to the economic feasibility of the construction of the child care facility.
b. As a condition of receiving the additional density bonus or concession for a child care facility, the project shall comply with the following requirements:
i. The child care facility shall remain in operation for a period of time that is as long as, or longer, than the period of time during which the density bonus units are required to remain affordable. ii. Of the children who attend the child care facility, the percentage of children of very low income, lower income, or moderate income households shall be equal to, or greater than, the percentage of affordable units required to be set aside for each such group. c. Notwithstanding any requirement of this Section, the City shall not be required to provide a density bonus or concession for a child care facility if it finds, based upon substantial evidence, that the community already has adequate child care facilities.
(4) Replacement housing requirement. Pursuant to subdivision (c)(3) of Government Code Section 65915, an applicant will be ineligible for a density bonus or other incentives unless the applicant complies with the replacement housing requirements therein and the provisions of Section 22.18.020, including in the following circumstances:
a. The housing development is proposed on any parcel(s) on which rental dwelling units are subject to a recorded covenant, ordinance, or law that restricts rents to levels affordable to persons and families of lower or very low income; or
b. The housing development is proposed on any parcel(s) on which rental dwelling units that were subject to a recorded covenant, ordinance, or law that restricted rents to levels affordable to persons and families of lower or very low income have been vacated or demolished in the five (5) year period preceding the application; or
5.4.a
Packet Pg. 76
Ordinance No. 03 (2024)
12 c. The housing development is proposed on any parcel(s) on which the dwelling units are occupied by lower or very low-income households; or d.

(1) The review authority shall grant applicants for qualified projects the number of incentives and concessions required by Government Code Section 65915. The review authority shall approve a specific requested concession or incentive for a proposed project unless the review authority makes a written finding, based on substantial evidence, of any of the following:
a. The concession or incentive does not result in identifiable and actual cost reductions in order to provide for affordable housing costs or for affordable rents for the targeted units to be set aside;
b. The concession or incentive would have a specific adverse impact, as defined in Section 65589.5(d)(2) of the California Government Code, upon public health and safety or on any real property that is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources and for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact without rendering the development unaffordable to low- and moderate-income households; or

(c) Compliance with State law.
1. Generally. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Development Code, all proposed housing development projects shall be reviewed in accordance with requirements and limitations imposed by State law, including, but not limited to, Government Code Sections 65589.5, 65915-65918, 65583, 65584, 65863, 65905.5, 65912.100-65912.105, 65852.24, 65852.28, 65913-65913.16, 65914.7, 65940-65945.3,65650-65656, 65660-65688, 66300-66301, and 66499.41. Except to the extent otherwise provided by State law, such review shall ensure that proposed housing development projects comply with State law and all applicable, objective standards, provisions, conditions and requirements of the general plan, any applicable specific plan, this Development Code, and other applicable ordinances and policies of the City.
2. Findings required for disapproval of housing development projects. As provided in the Housing Accountability Act, when a proposed housing development project complies with applicable, objective general plan, zoning, and subdivision standards and criteria, including design review standards, in effect at the time that the application was
5.4.a
Packet Pg. 90
Ordinance No. 03 (2024)
26 deemed complete, the final review authority shall not disapprove the project or impose a condition that the project be developed at a lower density unless the review authority makes written findings, based on a preponderance of the evidence on the record, that (a) the project would have a specific, adverse impact on public health and safety unless the project is disapproved or approved upon the condition that the project be developed at a lower density, and (b) there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact, other than the disapproval of the housing development project or the approval of the project upon the condition that it be developed at a lower density.
3. Additional findings required for disapproval of housing development projects for very low, low, or moderate income households. As provided in the Housing Accountability Act, the final review authority shall not disapprove a housing development project for very low, low, or moderate income households or condition approval in a manner that renders the housing development project infeasible for development for the use of very low, low, or moderate income households, including through the use of design review standards, unless it makes written findings, based upon a preponderance of the evidence in the record, as required by subdivision (d) of the Housing Accountability Act. (d) Consistency review of housing development projects. The director is authorized to review and determine whether an application for a housing development project is consistent and complies with applicable, objective general plan, zoning, and subdivision standards and criteria within the time period(s) prescribed by law, including, but not limited to, those set forth in subdivision (j) of the Housing Accountability Act.
(e) Housing development projects subject to discretionary review.

1. Hearings. Government Code Section 95905.5 limits the number of hearings the City may conduct in connection with consideration of an application for a housing development project. Therefore, for so long as Government Code Section 95905.5 so provides and remains in effect, no more than five hearings or continued hearings shall be conducted in connection with consideration of an application for a housing development project, unless otherwise agreed to by the applicant or the applicant’s designated representative. A meeting at which a hearing is continued to another date without public testimony or substantial discussion of the project occurring shall not count as one of the five allowed hearings. The final review authority shall consider and either approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove the application at one of the five hearings allowed pursuant to Government Code section 95905.5; provided, however, that, unless otherwise provided by law, the application shall not automatically be deemed approved if the final review authority does not act on the application at one of the five allowed hearings.
2. Required findings. Except as otherwise permitted or required by State law, the final review authority shall approve or conditionally approve an application for development review, a conditional use permit, or other quasi-judicial approval for a housing development project unless it makes written findings for disapproval in
5.4.a
Packet Pg. 91
Ordinance No. 03 (2024)
27 accordance with the Housing Accountability Act. If applicable, the final review authority shall also make no net loss findings pursuant to Section 22.18.050. The findings set forth in Sections 22.48.040 and 22.58.040 are not required to be made as a prerequisite to approval or conditional approval of a site development permit or conditional use permit for a housing development project.
3. Conditions of approval.

4. Environmental review. Except as otherwise provided by law, a discretionary permit or approval for a housing development project shall not be approved until all applicable provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act have been complied with. (f) Ministerial review. The provisions of this subsection shall apply in the event that State law or any provision of this Code requires a housing development project to be reviewed ministerially and/or designates a housing development project a “use by right” as defined in Government Code Section 65583.2. Housing development projects subject to ministerial review include, without limitation, (a) multi-family housing development projects located on Housing Element Parcels, in which at least twenty percent (20%) of the housing units are affordable to lower-income households, and (b) housing development projects that satisfy the criteria set forth in Government Code Sections 65650 et. seq., 65660 et. seq., 65852.21 and/or 66411.7, 65852.28 and/or 66499.41, 65912.110 et. seq., 65912.120 et. seq., 65913.4, or 65913.16 or in Health and Safety Code Section 17021.8.
1. The director is authorized to ministerially review and approve or disapprove the application(s) for the proposed housing development project in accordance with applicable law. The director’s decision shall be transmitted to the applicant in writing within the time period mandated by law. Decisions of the director may be appealed to the Commission, who’s decision shall be final.
2. If the ministerial approval of a housing development project will result in fewer residential units by income category than projected for a housing element parcel in the general plan housing element, the “no net loss” provisions of Government Code Section 65863 and Section 22.18.050 apply and the director must also make the required findings.
3. Except to the extent otherwise provided by State law, the director shall not ministerially approve a proposed housing development project unless it complies with all applicable, objective standards, provisions, conditions and requirements of the general plan, this Development Code, and other applicable ordinances and policies of the City.
4. Except as otherwise provided by State law, a ministerial approval pursuant to this subsection shall remain valid for two years from the date of the final action establishing that approval and shall continue remain valid thereafter provided demolition and grading activity on the development site has begun pursuant to a permit issued by the City and is in progress. (g) Standard conditions. The director is authorized to promulgate, modify, and enforce standard conditions and requirements that apply to approved housing development projects,

28 which implement applicable State, City, and other local agency standards, provisions, and conditions, provided such standard conditions and requirements are consistent with the provisions of the Diamond Bar City Code and State law.
Sec. 22.18.050 No Net Loss
(a) Purpose. The purpose of this section is to implement the No Net Loss Law and the “no net loss” provisions of the Housing Crisis Act.
(b) Definitions. The following definitions shall apply for purposes of this Section:
1. “Housing Crisis Act” means and refers the provisions set forth in Chapter 12 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code, commencing with Section 66300, as such provisions may be amended from time to time.
2. “Housing element parcel” means and refers to any parcel of land identified in the City’s general plan housing element site inventory described in subdivision (a)(3) of Government Code Section 65583, or in a housing element program to make sites available pursuant to subdivision (c)(1) of Government Code Section 65583, for residential development to meet the City’s share of regional housing need allocated pursuant to Government Code Section 65584.
3. “Lower residential density” has the same meaning as defined in the No Net Loss Law. Except as otherwise provided in the No Net Loss Law, lower residential density means fewer residential units in any income category than were (a) projected in the housing element site inventory to be accommodated on a housing element parcel or (b) projected in a housing element program to be developed on a housing element parcel.
4. “Not Net Loss Law” means and refers to the provisions of Government Code Section 65863, as such provisions may be amended from time to time. (c) No net loss provisions applicable to all parcels where housing is an allowable use. With respect to land where housing is an allowable use, the Housing Crisis Act limits the City’s authority to change the general plan land use designation, specific plan land use designation, or zoning of a parcel or parcels of property to a less intensive use or to reduce the intensity of land use within an existing general plan land use designation, specific plan land use designation, or zoning district. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Development Code, for so long as the Housing Crisis Act continues to so limit the City’s authority, the City shall not be obligated to accept or process an application for a general plan amendment, zoning map amendment, or zoning text amendment affecting a parcel on which housing is an allowable use if said application requests to change the general plan land use designation, specific plan land use designation, or zoning applicable to the parcel in a manner that would reduce the parcel’s residential development capacity.
(d) No Net Loss Law provisions applicable to housing element parcels.
1. Reductions of allowable residential density. Except as otherwise authorized pursuant to the No Net Loss Law, in addition to any other findings required pursuant to Sections 22.60, 22.70, and/or any other applicable provision of this Development Code, prior to or concurrent with approving any general plan amendment, specific plan amendment, zoning ordinance, or any other action to reduce, or require or permit the
5.4.a
Packet Pg. 93
Ordinance No. 03 (2024)
29 reduction of, the allowable residential density for any housing element parcel, the City Council shall make written findings supported by substantial evidence of both of the following:
a. The reduction of residential density is consistent with the adopted general plan, including the housing element.
b. The remaining sites identified in the housing element are adequate to meet the requirements of Government Code Section 65583.2 and to accommodate the City’s share of the regional housing need pursuant to Government Code Section 65584. This finding shall include a quantification of the remaining unmet need for the City’s share of the regional housing need at each income level and the remaining capacity of sites identified in the housing element to accommodate that need by income level.
2. Approval of development of a housing element parcel at a lower residential density. a. Prior to or concurrent with approving an application allowing development of a housing element parcel at a lower residential density, the final review authority shall make a written finding supported by substantial evidence as to whether the remaining sites identified in the housing element are adequate to meet the requirements of Government Code Section 65583.2 and to accommodate the City’s share of the regional housing need pursuant to Government Code Section 65584. This finding shall include a quantification of the remaining unmet need for the City’s share of the regional housing need at each income level and the remaining capacity of sites identified in the housing element to accommodate that need by income level.
b. If the final review authority approves a development project on a housing element parcel that results in a lower residential density and does not find that the remaining sites identified in the housing element are adequate to accommodate the City’s share of the regional housing need by income level, the City shall within 180 days identify and make available additional adequate sites to accommodate the City’s share of the regional housing need by income level in accordance with the No Net Loss Law. This subdivision shall not be interpreted to require the City to approve an application for any permit or legislative action associated with a proposed development project. However, pursuant to the No Net Loss Law, the final review authority for a permit for a proposed housing development project may not disapprove that permit on the basis that its approval would require the City to identify and make available additional adequate sites to accommodate the City’s share of the regional housing need.
3. Applicant responsibility. If an applicant for a development project or permit requests in its initial application, as submitted, a non-residential development or a mixeduse or residential development at a residential density that would result in the remaining sites in the housing element not being adequate to accommodate the City’s share of the regional housing need pursuant to Government Code Section 65584, the applicant shall assist the City to comply with the No Net Loss Law as follows:
5.4.a
Packet Pg. 94
Ordinance No. 03 (2024)
30 a. The applicant shall identify and include with its application a list of additional potential candidate sites to accommodate the shortfall in the City’s share of the regional housing need by income level that would result from the proposed development project, along with such evidence as is reasonably requested by the director necessary to show that such candidate sites are adequate sites pursuant to Government Code Section 65583.2 and proof that the owner or owner(s) of each such candidate site consents to rezoning and/or identification of the site in the housing element. To the extent allowed by State law, sufficient additional adequate sites must be identified before the application may be deemed complete. b. The applicant shall fund and/or provide outreach to property owners and tenants of property within the vicinity of candidate sites as required by the director, including, without limitation, the mailing of written notices and the advertisement and conduct of community meetings to provide information to interested community members about the identification and/or potential rezoning of the candidate sites.
c. To the extent permitted by State law, the applicant shall reimburse the City for the actual fees and costs charged for the services of attorneys and/or other professional third-party consultants engaged by the City to provide consultation, advice, analysis, and/or review or preparation of documents in connection with the identification of candidate sites and determination of their adequacy pursuant to Government Code Section 65583.2 and/or the preparation and processing of any required general plan and/or zoning amendments.

Section 27. The City Council finds that this Ordinance is not subject to, and/or is exempt from, review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”).
The amendments pertaining to transitional and supportive housing, low-barrier navigation centers, general residential care facilities, affordable housing and density bonus regulations, dwelling unit protection regulations, review by the City of applications for permits and/or land use entitlements for housing development projects, and no net loss regulations implement or repeat existing provisions of state law and are therefore ministerial actions that are not subject to CEQA.
In addition, the amendments pertaining to transitional and supportive housing, lowbarrier navigation centers, general residential care facilities, density bonus regulations, and accessory dwelling units were contemplated in the Housing Element Update and are within the scope of the Final EIR No. SCH 2018051066 for the Diamond Bar 2040 General Plan certified by the City Council on December 17, 2019, as addended pursuant to the Addendum adopted by the City Council on August 11, 2022 in conjunction with adoption of the Housing Element Update, and thus no further environmental review is required as to these amendments pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166 and Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations) because the amendments will not result in any new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts.
To the extent they are subject to review under CEQA, the amendments to Section
22.42.120 pertaining to accessory dwelling units are also statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21080.17 and CEQA Guidelines section 15282(h).

52 To the extent they are subject to review under CEQA, the amendments pertaining to transitional and supportive housing and low-barrier navigation centers are categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15301 (Existing Facilities) and 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures).
To the extent they are subject to review under CEQA, the amendments modifying the definitions and use tables pertaining to schools, studios, and facilities for education and training in the I (light industry) zoning district are categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301 (Existing Facilities) as the type of uses under these use categories are already permitted or conditionally permitted in the applicable zones or less intensive zones (i.e., studios are existing permitted uses in commercial zoning districts and are similar to other uses already permitted in the I (light industry) zoning district).
The amendments clarifying permitted locations and projections into setbacks for porches (Section 22.16.090) and specifying setback requirements for fish ponds and fountains in the front yard of single-family detached homes (Section 22.42.110) are categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures).
The amendments that correct typographical errors, delete obsolete provisions, add or correct cross-references to other Development Code sections or state statutes, clarify ambiguities in existing definitions or regulations, implement or repeat existing state law requirements, or relate only to review procedures or requirements are not considered a Project under CEQA, as defined in section 15378(b)(5) of the State CEQA Guidelines, as they organizational and administrative actions of government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
To the extent not otherwise exempt from review for other reasons stated herein, the Ordinance is not subject to CEQA because it can be seen with certainty that the proposed Development Code Amendments will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment (Section 15060(c)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines) and this Ordinance is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment (Section 15061 (b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines).
Section 28. Severability. If any section, clause, phrase, word or portion of this Ordinance is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance and each other section, clause, phrase, word or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, phrases, words or portions thereof be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

“Ordinance No. 03 (2024): AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF DIAMOND BAR, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF TITLE 22 (DEVELOPMENT CODE) OF THE DIAMOND BAR CITY CODE TO IMPLEMENT HOUSING PROGRAMS CONTAINED IN THE CITY’S
CERTIFIED 2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT, TO CONFORM TO CHANGES IN
NEW STATE HOUSING LAWS AND CITY POLICIES, AND TO MAKE
TYPOGRAPHICAL CORRECTIONS AND CLARIFICATIONS.”
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
SUMMARY:
The Diamond Bar Development Code (Title 22 of the Diamond Bar City Code) was first adopted in 1998. Its purpose and intent are “to implement the policies of the Diamond Bar general plan by classifying and regulating the uses of land and structures within the
6.1 Packet Pg. 479
5.4.b
Packet Pg. 119
City of Diamond Bar.”1
Amendments to the Development Code are needed from time to reflect community values, to keep pace with new state and federal laws, to implement local policies, and to resolve the internal inconsistencies and errors that are eventually encountered.
In the wake of the numerous housing and development laws passed by the State Legislature in recent years, together with the housing programs contained in the City’s certified 2021-2029 Housing Element, the proposed ordinance would amend several sections of the Development Code to ensure continued conformance with State law.
The proposed ordinance also incorporates several “cleanup” items to clarify the intent of various existing regulations.
BACKGROUND:
State Housing Laws
In addition to the routine cleanup items and the codifying of miscellaneous laws that the City is already subject to, the amendments proposed in the attached ordinance (Attachment 1) are largely focused on ensuring that the City is in compliance with the onslaught of housing laws passed by the State Legislature in recent years. These laws were discussed during a joint study session of the City Council and Planning Commission on March 26, 2024, and are summarized below:
• The Housing Accountability Act (Gov't Code §65589.5) prevents cities from applying non-objective development standards and findings to proposed housing development projects, limits cities' authority to disapprove or impose certain conditions on proposed housing development projects, and imposes other temporal and procedural limits on cities' review of housing projects. “Objective” standards are those that involve no personal or subjective judgment and are uniformly verifiable by reference to an external benchmark or criterion. Cities or counties found to have acted in violation of the Housing Accountability Act may be subject to certain enhanced remedies, including significant fines.
• The Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (SB 330) established laws intended to streamline housing development approvals, requires cities to maintain their existing affordable housing stock and protect displaced tenants of affordable housing units, limits cities' authority to rezone property to a lower residential density, and restricts cities from establishing new residential design standards that are not objective. • State Density Bonus Law (“SDBL,” Gov't Code §§65915-65918), as amended by AB 1287, requires cities to grant increased density, incentives and concessions, and waivers of development standards to residential developers in exchange for the production of affordable housing units.
• No Net Loss Law (Gov't Code §65863) requires that a city make specified findings before it allows development of a parcel at a lower residential density than identified in the city's housing element for that parcel or takes any other administrative, quasijudicial, or legislative action to reduce, require, or permit the reduction of the allowable residential density for such a parcel.
1 DBCC §22.01.020
6.1 Packet Pg. 480
5.4.b
Packet Pg. 120
• Housing Element Law (Gov't Code §§65580 – 65589.11), among other things, requires cities to identify and remove governmental constraints on the production of housing, to treat transitional and supportive housing similarly to other residential dwellings, and to provide for a variety of housing types, including single-room occupancy housing.
• Senate Bill 35 (Gov't Code §65913.4) requires cities to ministerially review and approve qualifying affordable housing projects in an effort to meet statewide affordable housing goals.
• Government Code §65651, et seq. and §65660, et seq. require cities to allow certain supportive housing projects and low-barrier navigation centers as uses to be established by right.
• Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU) Law (Article 2, commencing with § 66314, of Chapter 13 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code) requires cities to adopt ordinances providing for streamlined ministerial review and approval of ADUs and JADUs and limiting the development standards cities can apply to ADUs and JADUs.
Diamond Bar Housing Element
The proposed amendments also implement several of the housing programs contained in the City's certified 2021-2029 Housing Element, as summarized below:
• Program H-11. Housing for Persons with Special Needs - Continue to facilitate emergency shelters and transitional/supportive housing and continue participating with Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority and San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments 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 proposed Code amendment would update the land use table to reflect mandatory changes in State law, including: removing the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) requirement for residential care facilities serving seven or more persons in all residential zones and reclassify them as permitted by right; permitting “transitional/supportive housing” by right in all residential zones, subject to certain requirements; and adding "supportive housing for the homeless" and "low-barrier navigation centers” as permitted uses by right in the Industrial zoning district, subject to certain requirements pursuant to Government Code Section 65653. • Program H-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.
The proposed Code amendment would update the City’s density bonus regulations to conform to the current provisions of the SDBL.
6.1 Packet Pg. 481
5.4.b
Packet Pg. 121
• Program H-13. Efficient Project Processing - Continue to offer streamlined development processing, and periodically review departmental processing procedures to ensure efficient project processing.
The proposed Code amendment would implement various provisions of State law aimed to ease local government constraints on housing development, as well as eliminate conflicting provisions found within the Development Code.
ANALYSIS:
Adoption Process
Before the City Council adopts an ordinance to amend the Development Code, the Planning Commission must first conduct a public hearing to consider the proposed amendments. The Commission then forwards its recommendations via a resolution advising the Council whether or not the proposed amendments should be adopted.
Planning Commission Review
On May 28, 2024, after conducting a duly noticed public hearing, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2024-07, recommending, by a 4-0 vote (one absence), that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance amending Title 22 (Attachment 2). The staff report and draft meeting minutes from that meeting are included as Attachments 3 and 4 respectively.
No public comments were received prior to or during the Planning Commission hearing.
Proposed Development Code Amendments
The full text of the proposed code amendments is contained in the draft ordinance (Attachment 1). The following discussion cites the applicable Development Code section or chapter being amended, and provides the basis for each proposed amendment. A more detailed discussion for each section was provided in the Planning Commission staff report.
The following sections are proposed to be amended to either correct typographical errors or provide technical clarifications:
22.04.020(c)(3) - Floor area ratio
22.08.040 Table 2-4 - Restrictions on nonconforming structures
22.10.030 Table 2-5 - Office district land use table
22.16.070(1) - Open space requirement
22.16.090(3)(c) - Setback regulations and exceptions
22.16.130 - View protection
22.30.080 (5)(a)(1) - Driveway extensions for single-family residential property
22.42.110 Table 3-15 - Setbacks for accessory uses and structures
22.44.020 Table 4-1 - Director vs. Hearing Officer
22.44.040(a) - Application fees
22.47.020(a) - Plot plan review
6.1 Packet Pg. 482
5.4.b
Packet Pg. 122
22.48.030(b) - Administrative development review
22.48.050(a) and (b) - Responsibility for development review
22.56.020, 22.56.030(c), 22.56.040, and 22.56.050 – Minor conditional use permit review authority
22.60.020 - Applicability of specific plan
22.68.020(b)(1)(a) - Restrictions on nonconforming uses
22.68.030(b)(2) - Restrictions on nonconforming structures The more notable amendments contained in the draft ordinance are listed below:
22.08.030 Table 2-3 - Residential District Land Use Table: Consistent with recent State law, the residential land use table is amended to remove the CUP requirement for residential care facilities serving seven or more persons in all residential zones and reclassify them as permitted by right. “Transitional/supportive housing” is added as permitted by right in all residential zones, subject to new requirements set forth under Development Code Section 22.42.170. Lastly, “Second Units” is deleted because the term has been renamed “Accessory Dwelling Units,” and was already added as a permitted use in all residential zones under an earlier ordinance.
22.10.030 Table 2-6 - Commercial/Industrial District Land Use Table: Consistent with recent State law, the commercial and industrial land use table is proposed to be amended to allow “low-barrier navigation centers” and “transitional/supportive housing” in the Light Industry (I) zoning districts subject to new requirements set forth in Section
22.42.170.
Chapter 22.18 - Special procedures applicable to housing development projects:
Because State housing laws have been amended so extensively, Development Code Chapter 22.18 (“Affordable Housing Incentives/Density Bonus Provisions”) is proposed to be repealed in its entirety and replaced with comprehensively rewritten standards to be fully consistent with State law. The revised Chapter 22.18 is accordingly retitled “Special Procedures Applicable to Housing Development Projects” to more aptly encompass the myriad of legislative mandates it now incorporates, as summarized below:
• Density bonus regulations are revised to conform to the current provisions of the SDBL, which requires cities to grant increased density, incentives and concessions, and waivers of development standards to residential developers in exchange for the production of affordable housing units;
• Provisions of the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 are added to require development project proponents to replace demolished residential dwelling units and protected rental units, and to provide relocation assistance and other benefits to existing occupants of demolished protected rental units;
• Minimum requirements for affordable housing regulatory agreements are added; • Provisions of State law pertaining to review by the City of applications for permits and/or land use entitlements for housing development projects are enumerated; and • The “No Net Loss” provisions of the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 are enumerated.
6.1 Packet Pg. 483
5.4.b
Packet Pg. 123
22.42.120 - Accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units: The proposed amendments would ensure compliance with the most recent ADU legislation:
AB 2221 and SB 897 (2022), AB 976 and AB 1332 (2023), and SB 477 (2024). These bills made several changes to existing law that clarify certain provisions and further ease development restrictions. The most significant recent change was to height restrictions where the construction of two-story ADUs must now be permitted, subject to certain requirements.
22.42.170 - Transitional and supportive housing: A new section is added to address transitional and supportive housing, per State law, specifying that these facilities are permitted in residential zoning districts subject to the same approval requirements, development standards, and restrictions that apply to other residential dwellings of the same type in the same zone, which shall be determined by the City based upon the predominant characteristics of the use. This section also specifies legal requirements, review and approval procedures for "Supportive Housing For the Homeless" and "LowBarrier Navigation Centers," pursuant to State law. These uses are proposed to be permitted uses by right in the Industrial zoning district, subject to certain requirements pursuant to Government Code Section 65653.
22.80.020 - Definitions of specialized terms and phrases: The following definitions are to be added or amended: Low barrier navigation center, Public right-of-way, School (Private, Public and Trade), Specialized education and training, Studio, Supportive housing, and Transitional housing. The housing terms are required in conjunction with the proposed amendments per State housing law. “Public right-of-way” is added since it is not expressly defined anywhere else in the Municipal Code. As noted above, the current definition of “school” is very broad and encompasses all types of schools, education and training facilities, and studios. The proposed amendment would create separate discrete definitions for each.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The proposed Development Code Amendment has been determined to be categorically and statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”).
Section 27 of the Ordinance provides a detailed analysis to support this determination.
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING:
Notice for this hearing was published in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune newspaper on June 7, 2024, in a 1/8-page display. Pursuant to Planning and Zoning Law Government Code Section 65091(a)(4), if the number of property owners to whom a public hearing notice would be mailed is greater than 1,000, a local agency may provide notice by placing a display advertisement of at least 1/8 page in one newspaper of general circulation. A copy of the public notice was also posted at the City’s designated community posting sites.

2 WHEREAS, on June 18, 2024, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing regarding the proposed Development Code Amendment; and
WHEREAS, the City Council hereby finds that the proposed amendments are internally consistent with the General Plan and other adopted goals and policies of the City and adopts the facts and reasons stated in Planning Commission Resolution No. 2024-06, a copy of which is on file with the City Clerk and which is incorporated herein by reference with the same force and effect as if set forth in full.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Paragraph (3) of Subsection (c) of Section 22.04.020 (Rules of Interpretation) of Title 22, Chapter 22.04 of the Diamond Bar City Code is hereby amended to make non-substantive changes as follows (deletions in strikethrough text and additions shown in double underline):
(3) Floor Area Ratio (FAR). When calculating the allowable floor area of a structure based on the FAR established by the applicable zoning district, the fractional/decimal results of calculations shall be rounded to the next highest whole number when the fraction/decimal is 0.5 or more, and to the next lowest whole number when the fraction is less than 0.5. For example, a maximum floor area ratio of 0.25 applied to a site of 25,856 25,853 square feet results in a maximum allowable floor area of 7,757 6,463 square feet (25,856 25,853 x .025 0.25 = 7,756.8, rounded up to 7,757 6,463.25, rounded down to 6,463). The maximum FAR itself (0.09, 0.25, etc.) is never rounded.

CHAPTER 22.18. - SPECIAL PROCEDURES APPLICABLE TO HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
PROJECTS
Sec. 22.18.010 – Affordable housing incentives/density bonus provisions. (a) Purpose. The purpose of this section is to implement the incentive programs provided in Government Code Sections 65915 through 65918 (referred to collectively in this Section as the “State Density Bonus Law”) in order to provide additional opportunities for the provision of affordable housing within the City of Diamond Bar.
(b) Applicability. This section applies to any “housing development,” as defined in the State Density Bonus Law, including, without limitation, a development project for five or more residential units, including a mixed-use development, or a senior citizen housing development consisting of at least 35 units. This section also applies to density bonuses for land donations in accordance with Government Code Section 65915. In exchange for density bonuses, incentives or concessions, waivers or reductions of development standards, and/or reduced parking ratios, a portion of the units shall be reserved for very low income households, lower income households, senior citizen households, moderate income households, transitional foster youth, disabled veterans, homeless persons, or lower income college students as provided in this section and the State Density Bonus Law. All such projects shall comply with all requirements stated in the State Density Bonus Law and shall be subject to the subdivision, plot plan review and/or development review requirements of this title, as applicable. This section shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the State Density Bonus Law, as it may be amended from time to time, and the requirements of the State Density Bonus Law shall prevail over any conflicting provision of this Development Code.
(c) Definitions. As used in this section 22.18.010, the terms base density, concession, density bonus, development standard, disabled veterans, homeless persons, housing development, incentive, located within one-half mile of a major transit stop, lower income households, lower income student, maximum allowable residential density, moderate income households, persons

9 and families of moderate income, qualified nonprofit housing corporation, replace, senior citizen housing development, shared housing building, shared housing unit, total dwelling units, total units, transitional foster youth, unit, unobstructed access to the major transit stop, very low income households, and very low income vehicle travel area shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the State Density Bonus Law, as it may be amended from time to time. (d) Determination of density bonus. Qualified projects that meet the eligibility requirements set forth in this section and/or the State Density Bonus Law shall be granted a density bonus or bonuses in an amount specified in the State Density Bonus Law, as it may be amended from time to time. Eligibility for and/or calculation of a density bonus shall be subject to the following:
(1) A density bonus is a density increase over the otherwise maximum allowable gross residential density for a site as of the date of application by the applicant to the city. For the purpose of calculating the density bonus, the maximum allowable residential density, or base density, shall be the greatest number of units allowed on the site under the Development Code, an applicable specific plan, or the land use element of the General Plan. Each component of any density calculations, including base density and bonus density, resulting in fractional units shall be separately rounded up to the next whole number.
(2) Except as otherwise required by the State Density Bonus Law, the density bonus units shall not be included when determining the number of required affordable units or senior citizen units.
(3) The developer can request a smaller density bonus than the project is entitled to, including no increase in density, but no reduction shall be permitted in the number of required affordable units.
(4) For purposes of calculating the amount of the density bonus, an applicant who requests a density bonus shall elect the category and corresponding provision of the State Density Bonus Law pursuant to which the density bonus will be awarded.
Unless otherwise specified in this Section or the State Density Bonus Law, each residential development is entitled to only one density bonus, and density bonuses from more than one category may not be combined.
(5) The granting of a density bonus and/or related concession(s) or incentive(s) shall not be interpreted, in and of itself, to require a general plan amendment, zone change, study, or other discretionary approval.
(6) Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65915.5, the conversion of apartments to a condominium project shall not be eligible for a density bonus or other incentives if the apartments proposed for conversion constitute a housing development for which a density bonus or other incentives were previously provided under Government Code Section 65915.
(e) Specific requirements.
(1) Senior citizen housing requirements.

ii. An additional concession or incentive that contributes significantly to the economic feasibility of the construction of the child care facility.
b. As a condition of receiving the additional density bonus or concession for a child care facility, the project shall comply with the following requirements:
i. The child care facility shall remain in operation for a period of time that is as long as, or longer, than the period of time during which the density bonus units are required to remain affordable. ii. Of the children who attend the child care facility, the percentage of children of very low income, lower income, or moderate income households shall be equal to, or greater than, the percentage of affordable units required to be set aside for each such group. c. Notwithstanding any requirement of this Section, the City shall not be required to provide a density bonus or concession for a child care facility if it finds, based upon substantial evidence, that the community already has adequate child care facilities.
(4) Replacement housing requirement. Pursuant to subdivision (c)(3) of Government Code Section 65915, an applicant will be ineligible for a density bonus or other incentives unless the applicant complies with the replacement housing requirements therein and the provisions of Section 22.18.020, including in the following circumstances:
a. The housing development is proposed on any parcel(s) on which rental dwelling units are subject to a recorded covenant, ordinance, or law that restricts rents to levels affordable to persons and families of lower or very low income; or
b.

(g) Concessions or incentives. In compliance with State Density Bonus Law, developers that request a density bonus to provide on-site affordable housing may also eligible to receive one or more concessions or incentives, based on the type and scope of the project. (1) The review authority shall grant applicants for qualified projects the number of incentives and concessions required by Government Code Section 65915. The review authority shall approve a specific requested concession or incentive for a proposed project unless the review authority makes a written finding, based on substantial evidence, of any of the following:
a. The concession or incentive does not result in identifiable and actual cost reductions in order to provide for affordable housing costs or for affordable rents for the targeted units to be set aside;
b. The concession or incentive would have a specific adverse impact, as defined in Section 65589.5(d)(2) of the California Government Code, upon public health and safety or on any real property that is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources and for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact without rendering the development unaffordable to low- and moderate-income households; or
c. The concession or incentive would be contrary to state or federal law. (2) Menu of concessions/incentives. Concessions or incentives that a developer may request include those of the type set forth in subsection (k) of Section 65915 of the California Government Code, including the following:
a. Relaxation or other modification of zoning standards regulating such items as setbacks, height limitations, distances between buildings, required parking, parking development standards, projections into yards, and the like, which result in identifiable, and actual cost reductions.

13 b. Modification of architectural regulations ordinarily applied to a residential development project, which result in identifiable and actual cost reductions. c. Approval of mixed-use zoning in conjunction with the housing project if commercial, office, industrial, or other land uses will reduce the cost of the housing development and if the commercial, office, industrial, or other land uses are compatible with the housing project and the existing or planned development in the area where the proposed housing project will be located.
d. Other regulatory incentives or concessions proposed by the developer or the City, which result in identifiable, and actual project cost reductions. (3) Parking incentives.
a.

Number of Bedrooms Required Parking Spaces per Unit*
0 to 1 bedroom 1
2 to 3 bedrooms 1.5

** Developments meeting the requirements of subdivisions (p)(2) or (p)(3) of Government Code Section 65915 may
provide fewer parking spaces per unit as specified in the State Density Bonus Law.
(h) Physical Constraints. In accordance with Government Code Section 65915(e), in addition to any concessions or incentives requested, an applicant for a density bonus pursuant to this section may submit a proposal for the waiver or reduction of development standards that have the effect of physically precluding the construction of a housing development incorporating the density bonus and any incentives or concessions to which the applicant is entitled. The review authority shall approve a requested waiver or reduction of a development standard, unless it makes any of the following findings:
(1) The application of the development standard does not have the effect of physically precluding the construction of a housing development at the density allowed by the density bonus and with the incentives or concessions granted to the applicant. (2) The waiver or reduction of the development standard would have a specific, adverse impact, as defined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Government Code

If all protected units on the project site are vacant or have been demolished within the five-year period preceding the application submittal date, the project shall provide at least the same number of replacement protected units of equivalent size as the number of protected units as existed at the highpoint of those units in the five-year period preceding the application submittal date, to be made available at an affordable rent or affordable housing cost to, and occupied by, persons and families in the same or lower income category as those persons and families in occupancy of the protected units at that time, if known. If the incomes of the persons and families in occupancy the protected units at the highpoint is not known, it shall be rebuttably presumed that low-income and very low income renter households occupied these protected units in the same proportion of low-income and very low income renter households to all renter households within the City of Diamond Bar, as determined by the most recently available data from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy database. All replacement protected unit calculations resulting in factional units shall be rounded up to the next whole number. c. Replacement Protected Unit Size. A replacement protected unit must include at least the same number of bedrooms as the protected unit being replaced; provided, however, that if, and to the extent permitted pursuant to the Housing Crisis Act, a protected unit may be replaced with two or more replacement protected units of the same or a lower income category as the protected unit, provided the cumulative number of bedrooms in the replacement protected units equals or exceeds the number of bedrooms in the protected unit being replaced. . d. Single-Family Projects Involving a Single Protected Unit. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this subsection (d)(2), if a development project consists of the development of a single residential unit on a site with a single protected unit, that protected unit may be replaced with a unit of any size at any income level.
3. Location of Replacement Protected Units. If the project is a housing development project, replacement protected units shall be constructed on the same site as the demolished protected units being replaced and integrated into the development project, if feasible. Subject to approval of the final review authority, and to the extent permitted by the Housing Crisis Act, an applicant may develop, or contract with another entity to develop, a replacement protected unit on a different parcel in the City zoned for residential use, provided that (i) an application for development of the replacement protected units on different parcels is made concurrently with an application for all other components of the proposed development project, (ii) the other parcel is zoned for residential use and all objective general plan, zoning, and other standards and requirements are met, and (iii) the applicant demonstrates that no residential tenants on the other parcel have been or will be displaced as a result of development of the replacement protected unit.

a. The owner shall accept as tenants persons who are recipients Section 8 certificates on the same basis as all other prospective tenants; provided, the owner shall not rent one of the affordable units to a tenant household holding a Section 8 certificate unless none of the housing units not restricted to occupancy by the affordability covenants are available. If the only available housing unit is an affordable unit, the owner shall no longer designate the housing unit rented to a tenant household holding a Section 8 certificate as an affordable unit, shall designate the next-available housing unit as an affordable unit, and shall make available, restrict occupancy to, and rent such newly designated affordable unit to a qualified tenant at the applicable affordable rent pursuant to the affordability covenants, such that at all times reasonably possible all of the required affordable units shall not be occupied by tenants holding Section 8 certificates. b.

25 Sec. 22.18.040 Review of housing development projects. (a) Purpose. The purpose of this Section is to implement specified provisions of State law pertaining to review by the City of applications for permits and/or land use entitlements for housing development projects. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section and any provision of State law, the provision of State law shall govern. (b) Definitions. As used in this section, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
1. “Housing Accountability Act” means and refers to the provisions of Government Code Section 65589.5.
2. “Housing development project” shall have the same meaning as defined in the Housing Accountability Act and includes (a) developments consisting of two or more residential units, (b) mixed-use developments consisting of residential and nonresidential uses with at least two-thirds of the square footage designated for residential use, and (c) transitional housing or supportive housing.
3. “Housing element parcel” means and refers to any parcel of land identified in the City’s general plan housing element site inventory described in subdivision (a)(3) of Government Code Section 65583, or in a housing element program to make sites available pursuant to subdivision (c)(1) of Government Code Section 65583, for residential development to meet the City’s share of regional housing need allocated pursuant to Government Code Section 65584.
4. “Housing for very low, low, or moderate income households” shall have the same meaning as defined in the Housing Accountability Act.
5. “Specific, adverse impact” shall have the same meaning as defined in the Housing Accountability Act.

(c) Compliance with State law.
1. Generally. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Development Code, all proposed housing development projects shall be reviewed in accordance with requirements and limitations imposed by State law, including, but not limited to, Government Code Sections 65589.5, 65915-65918, 65583, 65584, 65863, 65905.5, 65912.100-65912.105, 65852.24, 65852.28, 65913-65913.16, 65914.7, 65940-65945.3,65650-65656, 65660-65688, 66300-66301, and 66499.41. Except to the extent otherwise provided by State law, such review shall ensure that proposed housing development projects comply with State law and all applicable, objective standards, provisions, conditions and requirements of the general plan, any applicable specific plan, this Development Code, and other applicable ordinances and policies of the City.
2. Findings required for disapproval of housing development projects. As provided in the Housing Accountability Act, when a proposed housing development project complies with applicable, objective general plan, zoning, and subdivision standards and criteria, including design review standards, in effect at the time that the application was
6.1.a
Packet Pg. 510
5.4.b
Packet Pg. 150
Ordinance No. 03 (2024)
26 deemed complete, the final review authority shall not disapprove the project or impose a condition that the project be developed at a lower density unless the review authority makes written findings, based on a preponderance of the evidence on the record, that (a) the project would have a specific, adverse impact on public health and safety unless the project is disapproved or approved upon the condition that the project be developed at a lower density, and (b) there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact, other than the disapproval of the housing development project or the approval of the project upon the condition that it be developed at a lower density.
3. Additional findings required for disapproval of housing development projects for very low, low, or moderate income households. As provided in the Housing Accountability Act, the final review authority shall not disapprove a housing development project for very low, low, or moderate income households or condition approval in a manner that renders the housing development project infeasible for development for the use of very low, low, or moderate income households, including through the use of design review standards, unless it makes written findings, based upon a preponderance of the evidence in the record, as required by subdivision (d) of the Housing Accountability Act. (d) Consistency review of housing development projects. The director is authorized to review and determine whether an application for a housing development project is consistent and complies with applicable, objective general plan, zoning, and subdivision standards and criteria within the time period(s) prescribed by law, including, but not limited to, those set forth in subdivision (j) of the Housing Accountability Act.
(e) Housing development projects subject to discretionary review. The provisions of this subsection shall apply to the consideration of applications for development review, conditional use permits, or other quasi-judicial approvals required for the construction or operation of a housing development project that is not subject to ministerial review by the director. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this subsection and any other provision of this Development Code, the provisions of this subsection shall apply.
1. Hearings. Government Code Section 95905.5 limits the number of hearings the City may conduct in connection with consideration of an application for a housing development project. Therefore, for so long as Government Code Section 95905.5 so provides and remains in effect, no more than five hearings or continued hearings shall be conducted in connection with consideration of an application for a housing development project, unless otherwise agreed to by the applicant or the applicant’s designated representative. A meeting at which a hearing is continued to another date without public testimony or substantial discussion of the project occurring shall not count as one of the five allowed hearings. The final review authority shall consider and either approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove the application at one of the five hearings allowed pursuant to Government Code section 95905.5; provided, however, that, unless otherwise provided by law, the application shall not automatically be deemed approved if the final review authority does not act on the application at one of the five allowed hearings.
2. Required findings. Except as otherwise permitted or required by State law, the final review authority shall approve or conditionally approve an application for development review, a conditional use permit, or other quasi-judicial approval for a housing development project unless it makes written findings for disapproval in
6.1.a
Packet Pg. 511
5.4.b
Packet Pg. 151
Ordinance No. 03 (2024)
27 accordance with the Housing Accountability Act. If applicable, the final review authority shall also make no net loss findings pursuant to Section 22.18.050.

3. Conditions of approval. The final review authority may impose reasonable conditions of approval that are necessary to ensure that a proposed housing development project complies with all local, state and federal laws, and that impacts resulting from the development are adequately mitigated, subject to the limitations set forth in the Housing Accountability Act.
4. Environmental review. Except as otherwise provided by law, a discretionary permit or approval for a housing development project shall not be approved until all applicable provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act have been complied with. (f) Ministerial review. The provisions of this subsection shall apply in the event that State law or any provision of this Code requires a housing development project to be reviewed ministerially and/or designates a housing development project a “use by right” as defined in Government Code Section 65583.2. Housing development projects subject to ministerial review include, without limitation, (a) multi-family housing development projects located on Housing Element Parcels, in which at least twenty percent (20%) of the housing units are affordable to lower-income households, and (b) housing development projects that satisfy the criteria set forth in Government Code Sections 65650 et. seq., 65660 et. seq., 65852.21 and/or 66411.7, 65852.28 and/or 66499.41, 65912.110 et. seq., 65912.120 et. seq., 65913.4, or 65913.16 or in Health and Safety Code Section 17021.8.
1. The director is authorized to ministerially review and approve or disapprove the application(s) for the proposed housing development project in accordance with applicable law. The director’s decision shall be transmitted to the applicant in writing within the time period mandated by law. Decisions of the director may be appealed to the Commission, who’s decision shall be final.
2. If the ministerial approval of a housing development project will result in fewer residential units by income category than projected for a housing element parcel in the general plan housing element, the “no net loss” provisions of Government Code Section 65863 and Section 22.18.050 apply and the director must also make the required findings.
3. Except to the extent otherwise provided by State law, the director shall not ministerially approve a proposed housing development project unless it complies with all applicable, objective standards, provisions, conditions and requirements of the general plan, this Development Code, and other applicable ordinances and policies of the City.
4. Except as otherwise provided by State law, a ministerial approval pursuant to this subsection shall remain valid for two years from the date of the final action establishing that approval and shall continue remain valid thereafter provided demolition and grading activity on the development site has begun pursuant to a permit issued by the City and is in progress. (g) Standard conditions. The director is authorized to promulgate, modify, and enforce standard conditions and requirements that apply to approved housing development projects,

1. “Housing Crisis Act” means and refers the provisions set forth in Chapter 12 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code, commencing with Section 66300, as such provisions may be amended from time to time.
2. “Housing element parcel” means and refers to any parcel of land identified in the City’s general plan housing element site inventory described in subdivision (a)(3) of Government Code Section 65583, or in a housing element program to make sites available pursuant to subdivision (c)(1) of Government Code Section 65583, for residential development to meet the City’s share of regional housing need allocated pursuant to Government Code Section 65584.
3. “Lower residential density” has the same meaning as defined in the No Net Loss Law. Except as otherwise provided in the No Net Loss Law, lower residential density means fewer residential units in any income category than were (a) projected in the housing element site inventory to be accommodated on a housing element parcel or (b) projected in a housing element program to be developed on a housing element parcel.
4. “Not Net Loss Law” means and refers to the provisions of Government Code Section 65863, as such provisions may be amended from time to time. (c) No net loss provisions applicable to all parcels where housing is an allowable use. With respect to land where housing is an allowable use, the Housing Crisis Act limits the City’s authority to change the general plan land use designation, specific plan land use designation, or zoning of a parcel or parcels of property to a less intensive use or to reduce the intensity of land use within an existing general plan land use designation, specific plan land use designation, or zoning district. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Development Code, for so long as the Housing Crisis Act continues to so limit the City’s authority, the City shall not be obligated to accept or process an application for a general plan amendment, zoning map amendment, or zoning text amendment affecting a parcel on which housing is an allowable use if said application requests to change the general plan land use designation, specific plan land use designation, or zoning applicable to the parcel in a manner that would reduce the parcel’s residential development capacity.
(d) No Net Loss Law provisions applicable to housing element parcels.
1. Reductions of allowable residential density. Except as otherwise authorized pursuant to the No Net Loss Law, in addition to any other findings required pursuant to Sections 22.60, 22.70, and/or any other applicable provision of this Development Code, prior to or concurrent with approving any general plan amendment, specific plan amendment, zoning ordinance, or any other action to reduce, or require or permit the
6.1.a
Packet Pg. 513
5.4.b
Packet Pg. 153
Ordinance No. 03 (2024)
29 reduction of, the allowable residential density for any housing element parcel, the City Council shall make written findings supported by substantial evidence of both of the following:
a. The reduction of residential density is consistent with the adopted general plan, including the housing element.
b. The remaining sites identified in the housing element are adequate to meet the requirements of Government Code Section 65583.2 and to accommodate the City’s share of the regional housing need pursuant to Government Code Section 65584. This finding shall include a quantification of the remaining unmet need for the City’s share of the regional housing need at each income level and the remaining capacity of sites identified in the housing element to accommodate that need by income level.
2. Approval of development of a housing element parcel at a lower residential density. a. Prior to or concurrent with approving an application allowing development of a housing element parcel at a lower residential density, the final review authority shall make a written finding supported by substantial evidence as to whether the remaining sites identified in the housing element are adequate to meet the requirements of Government Code Section 65583.2 and to accommodate the City’s share of the regional housing need pursuant to Government Code Section 65584. This finding shall include a quantification of the remaining unmet need for the City’s share of the regional housing need at each income level and the remaining capacity of sites identified in the housing element to accommodate that need by income level.
b. If the final review authority approves a development project on a housing element parcel that results in a lower residential density and does not find that the remaining sites identified in the housing element are adequate to accommodate the City’s share of the regional housing need by income level, the City shall within 180 days identify and make available additional adequate sites to accommodate the City’s share of the regional housing need by income level in accordance with the No Net Loss Law. This subdivision shall not be interpreted to require the City to approve an application for any permit or legislative action associated with a proposed development project. However, pursuant to the No Net Loss Law, the final review authority for a permit for a proposed housing development project may not disapprove that permit on the basis that its approval would require the City to identify and make available additional adequate sites to accommodate the City’s share of the regional housing need.
3. Applicant responsibility. If an applicant for a development project or permit requests in its initial application, as submitted, a non-residential development or a mixeduse or residential development at a residential density that would result in the remaining sites in the housing element not being adequate to accommodate the City’s share of the regional housing need pursuant to Government Code Section 65584, the applicant shall assist the City to comply with the No Net Loss Law as follows:
6.1.a

a. Building Permit Required. A building permit is required prior to construction of an ADU or JADU. Except as otherwise provided in this section or by state law, all building, fire, and related code requirements applicable to habitable dwellings apply to ADUs and JADUs. However, fire sprinklers shall not be required if they are not required for the primary dwelling, and the construction of an ADU shall not trigger a requirement for fire sprinklers to be installed in an existing multifamily dwelling.
b. Application. Prior to the issuance of a building permit for an ADU or JADU, the applicant shall submit an application on a form prepared by the City, along with all information and materials prescribed by such form. No application shall be accepted unless it is completed as prescribed and is accompanied by payment for all applicable fees.
c. Review. Except as otherwise provided herein, tThe director shall consider and approve or disapprove a complete application for an ADU or JADU ministerially without discretionary review or public hearing within sixty (60) days from the date the City receives a complete application. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, beginning January 1, 2025, the director shall consider and approve or disapprove a complete application for a detached ADU within thirty (30) days from the date the City receives a complete application if the application utilizes either (i) an ADU plan pre-approved by the City within the current triennial California Building Standards Code rulemaking cycle or (ii) a plan that is identical to a plan used in an application for a detached ADU approved by the City within the current triennial California Building Standards Code rule-making cycle. Review is limited to whether the proposed ADU or JADU complies with the requirements of this section and/or state law, as applicable. If the director disapproves an application for an ADU or JADU, the director shall concurrently return in writing a full set of comments to the applicant with a list of items that are defective or deficient and a description of how the application can be remedied by the applicant. If an applicant requests a delay in processing the application, the time period for the director to review of an application shall be tolled for the period of the requested delay. If the application to create an ADU or a JADU is submitted with an application to create a new single-family or multifamily dwelling on the lot, the director may delay acting on the application for the ADU or the JADU until the City acts on the application to create the new single-family or multifamily dwelling, but the application to create the ADU or JADU will still be considered ministerially without discretionary review or a hearing.

Section 27. The City Council finds that this Ordinance is not subject to, and/or is exempt from, review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”).
The amendments pertaining to transitional and supportive housing, low-barrier navigation centers, general residential care facilities, affordable housing and density bonus regulations, dwelling unit protection regulations, review by the City of applications for permits and/or land use entitlements for housing development projects, and no net loss regulations implement or repeat existing provisions of state law and are therefore ministerial actions that are not subject to CEQA.
In addition, the amendments pertaining to transitional and supportive housing, lowbarrier navigation centers, general residential care facilities, density bonus regulations, and accessory dwelling units were contemplated in the Housing Element Update and are within the scope of the Final EIR No. SCH 2018051066 for the Diamond Bar 2040 General Plan certified by the City Council on December 17, 2019, as addended pursuant to the Addendum adopted by the City Council on August 11, 2022 in conjunction with adoption of the Housing Element Update, and thus no further environmental review is required as to these amendments pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166 and Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations) because the amendments will not result in any new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts.
To the extent they are subject to review under CEQA, the amendments to Section
22.42.120 pertaining to accessory dwelling units are also statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21080.17 and CEQA Guidelines section 15282(h).

52 To the extent they are subject to review under CEQA, the amendments pertaining to transitional and supportive housing and low-barrier navigation centers are categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15301 (Existing Facilities) and 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures).
To the extent they are subject to review under CEQA, the amendments modifying the definitions and use tables pertaining to schools, studios, and facilities for education and training in the I (light industry) zoning district are categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301 (Existing Facilities) as the type of uses under these use categories are already permitted or conditionally permitted in the applicable zones or less intensive zones (i.e., studios are existing permitted uses in commercial zoning districts and are similar to other uses already permitted in the I (light industry) zoning district).
The amendments clarifying permitted locations and projections into setbacks for porches (Section 22.16.090) and specifying setback requirements for fish ponds and fountains in the front yard of single-family detached homes (Section 22.42.110) are categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures).
The amendments that correct typographical errors, delete obsolete provisions, add or correct cross-references to other Development Code sections or state statutes, clarify ambiguities in existing definitions or regulations, implement or repeat existing state law requirements, or relate only to review procedures or requirements are not considered a Project under CEQA, as defined in section 15378(b)(5) of the State CEQA Guidelines, as they organizational and administrative actions of government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
To the extent not otherwise exempt from review for other reasons stated herein, the Ordinance is not subject to CEQA because it can be seen with certainty that the proposed Development Code Amendments will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment (Section 15060(c)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines) and this Ordinance is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment (Section 15061 (b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines).
Section 28. Severability. If any section, clause, phrase, word or portion of this Ordinance is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance and each other section, clause, phrase, word or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, phrases, words or portions thereof be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

Community Development Department
Adopt the attached Resolution recommending
the City Council approve Development Code
Amendment No. PL2022-59.
The matter was originally scheduled to be heard on May 14, 2024. However, due to a lack of quorum, the meeting was adjourned pursuant to Government Code Sections 54955 and 54955.1, and all business and public hearing items scheduled before the Planning Commission for May 14, 2024, were continued to May 28, 2024.
SUMMARY:
The Diamond Bar Development Code (Title 22 of the Diamond Bar City Code) was first adopted in 1998. Its purpose and intent are “to implement the policies of the Diamond Bar general plan by classifying and regulating the uses of land and structures within the City of Diamond Bar.”1 Amendments to the Development Code are needed from time to reflect community values, to keep pace with new state and federal laws, to implement 1 DBCC §22.01.020

local policies, and to resolve the internal inconsistencies and errors that are eventually encountered.
In the wake of the numerous housing and development laws passed by the State Legislature in recent years, together with the housing programs contained in the City’s certified 2021-2029 Housing Element, staff is recommending adoption of an omnibus ordinance that would amend several sections of the Development Code to ensure continued conformance with State law. The proposed ordinance also incorporates several “cleanup” items to clarify the intent of various existing regulations.
BACKGROUND:
State Housing Laws
In addition to the routine cleanup items and the codifying of miscellaneous laws that the City is already subject to, the amendments proposed in the attached ordinance (Attachment B) are largely focused on ensuring that the City is in compliance with the onslaught of housing laws passed by the State Legislature in recent years. These laws were discussed during a joint study session of the City Council and Planning Commission on March 26, 2024, and are summarized below:
• The Housing Accountability Act (Gov't Code §65589.5) prevents cities from applying non-objective development standards and findings to proposed housing development projects, limits cities' authority to disapprove or impose certain conditions on proposed housing development projects, and imposes other temporal and procedural limits on cities' review of housing projects. “Objective” standards are those that involve no personal or subjective judgment and are uniformly verifiable by reference to an external benchmark or criterion. Cities or counties found to have acted in violation of the Housing Accountability Act may be subject to certain enhanced remedies, including significant fines.
• The Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (SB 330) established laws intended to streamline housing development approvals, requires cities to maintain their existing affordable housing stock and protect displaced tenants of affordable housing units, limits cities' authority to rezone property to a lower residential density, and restricts cities from establishing new residential design standards that are not objective. • State Density Bonus Law (“SDBL,” Gov't Code §65915-65918), as amended by AB 1287, requires cities to grant increased density, incentives and concessions, and waivers of development standards to residential developers in exchange for the production of affordable housing units.
• No Net Loss Law (Gov't Code §65863) requires that a city make specified findings before it allows development of a parcel at a lower residential density than identified in the city's housing element for that parcel or takes any other administrative, quasijudicial, or legislative action to reduce, require, or permit the reduction of the allowable residential density for such a parcel.

Packet Pg. 182
Development Code Amendment No. PL2022-59 Page 3 of 8
• Housing Element Law (Gov't Code §§65580 – 65589.11), among other things, requires cities to identify and remove governmental constraints on the production of housing, to treat transitional and supportive housing similarly to other residential dwellings, and to provide for a variety of housing types, including single-room occupancy housing.
• Senate Bill 35 (Gov't Code §65913.4) requires cities to ministerially review and approve qualifying affordable housing projects in an effort to meet statewide affordable housing goals.
• Government Code §65651, et seq. and §65660, et seq. require cities to allow certain supportive housing projects and low-barrier navigation centers as uses to be established by right.
• Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU) Law (Article 2, commencing with § 66314, of Chapter 13 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code) requires cities to adopt ordinances providing for streamlined ministerial review and approval of ADUs and JADUs and limiting the development standards cities can apply to ADUs and JADUs.
Diamond Bar Housing Element
The proposed amendments also implement several of the housing programs contained in the City's certified 2021-2029 Housing Element, as summarized below:
• Program H-11. Housing for Persons with Special Needs - Continue to facilitate emergency shelters and transitional/supportive housing and continue participating with Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority and San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments 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 proposed Code amendment would update the land use table to reflect mandatory changes in State law, including: removing the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) requirement for residential care facilities serving seven or more persons in all residential zones and reclassify them as permitted by right; permitting “transitional/supportive housing” by right in all residential zones, subject to certain requirements; and adding "supportive housing for the homeless" and "low-barrier navigation centers” as permitted uses by right in the Industrial zoning district, subject to certain requirements pursuant to Government Code Section 65653. • Program H-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.

The proposed Code amendment would update the City’s density bonus regulations to conform to the current provisions of the SDBL.
• Program H-13. Efficient Project Processing - Continue to offer streamlined development processing, and periodically review departmental processing procedures to ensure efficient project processing.
The proposed Code amendment would implement various provisions of State law aimed to ease local government constraints on housing development, as well as eliminate conflicting provisions found within the Development Code.
ANALYSIS:
Adoption Process
Before the City Council adopts an ordinance to amend the Development Code, the Planning Commission must first conduct a public hearing to consider the proposed amendments. The Commission then forwards its recommendations via a resolution advising the Council whether or not the proposed amendments should be adopted.
Proposed Development Code Amendments
The full text of the proposed code amendments is contained in the draft ordinance (Attachment B). The following discussion cites the applicable Development Code section or chapter being amended, and provides the basis for each proposed amendment. Each item below is numbered to correspond to the section numbering in the ordinance.
1. 22.04.020(c)(3) - Floor Area Ratio: Typographical errors are corrected.
2. 22.08.030 Table 2-3 - Residential District Land Use Table: Consistent with recent State law, the residential land use table is amended to remove the CUP requirement for residential care facilities serving seven or more persons in all residential zones and reclassify them as permitted by right. “Transitional/supportive housing” is added as permitted by right in all residential zones, subject to new requirements set forth under Development Code Section 22.42.170. Lastly, “Second Units” is deleted because the term has been renamed “Accessory Dwelling Units,” and was already added as a permitted use in all residential zones under an earlier ordinance.
3. 22.08.040 Table 2-4 - Restrictions on nonconforming structures: Currently, this section allows for additions to nonconforming structures without approval of a Minor Conditional Use Permit (MCUP) if the addition is limited to one-story and has the same setbacks as the adjoining portion of the existing structure. The intent of this section, when drafted, was to allow the continuation of nonconforming side setbacks only, and has been clarified as such (applies to Sections 3 and 25 of the ordinance).
4. 22.10.030 Table 2-5 - Office District Land Use Table: The current definition of “school” is very broad and encompasses all types of schools, education and training
7.1 Packet Pg. 32
6.1.c

5.4.b
Packet Pg. 184
Development Code Amendment No. PL2022-59 Page 5 of 8
facilities, as well as studios. This creates confusion to the public and City staff when determining land use. The proposed amendment would create separate discrete definitions for each. Educational uses such as public schools are now separated from specialized education or training type uses, such as dance studios. Public schools will remain as permitted uses and the new definition of private and trade schools are subject to approval of a CUP in the office zoning districts. “Specialized education and training” will also have its own definition and subject to approval of a CUP in the office zoning districts (applies to Sections 4 and 5 of the ordinance). “Medical services-Clinics and laboratories” is currently a conditionally permitted use in the OP zoning district, but should be a use permitted by right since the OP zoning district is intended for office-based working environments such as general, professional, administrative offices, and similar related compatible uses.
Footnote 6 (Massage) – Deletion of this footnote was inadvertently missed when the City adopted its updated massage ordinance in 2016. This footnote is no longer applicable.
5. 22.10.030 Table 2-6 - Commercial/Industrial District Land Use Table: Consistent with recent State law, the commercial and industrial land use table is proposed to be amended to allow “low-barrier navigation centers” and “transitional/supportive housing” in the Light Industry (I) zoning districts subject to new requirements set forth in Section 22.42.170.
Massage footnote – See item 4 above.
6. 22.16.070(1) - Open space requirement: Currently, the Code requires commercial projects to provide a minimum of 1/10th of one percent of the total land area of the center as useable open space, which is a typographical error and has been corrected to one percent.
7. 22.16.090(3)(c) - Setback regulations and exceptions: The current language provides a loophole whereby some applicants have labeled patio covers as “back porches” on plans and permit applications in an attempt to allow them to encroach into the rear setbacks. To close this loophole, the language has been revised to limit porch encroachments into the front setbacks only.
8. 22.16.130 - View protection: Figure 3-5 is a variation of Figure 3-4, which pertains to setbacks, not view protection, and therefore should be deleted. No replacement figure is necessary.
9. Chapter 22.18 - Special procedures applicable to housing development projects: Because State housing laws have been amended so extensively, Development Code Chapter 22.18 (“Affordable Housing Incentives/Density Bonus Provisions”) is proposed to be repealed in its entirety and replaced it with comprehensively rewritten standards to be fully consistent with State law. The

5.4.b
Packet Pg. 185
Development Code Amendment No. PL2022-59 Page 6 of 8
revised Chapter 22.18—retitled “Special Procedures Applicable to Housing Development Projects”— the myriad legislative mandates as follows:
a. Density bonus regulations are revised to conform to the current provisions of the SDBL, which requires cities to grant increased density, incentives and concessions, and waivers of development standards to residential developers in exchange for the production of affordable housing units; b. Provisions of the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 are added to require development project proponents to replace demolished residential dwelling units and protected rental units, and to provide relocation assistance and other benefits to existing occupants of demolished protected rental units; c. Minimum requirements for affordable housing regulatory agreements are added;
d. Provisions of State law pertaining to review by the City of applications for permits and/or land use entitlements for housing development projects are enumerated; and
e. The “No Net Loss” provisions of the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 are enumerated.
10.22.30.080 (5)(a)(1) - Driveway extensions for single-family residential property:
Clarification was added that an extension of the driveway towards the side property line farthest from the driveway is not permitted. Additionally, the illustration has been updated to further clarify the intended requirement.
11.22.42.110 Table 3-15 - Setbacks for accessory uses and structures: A minor typographical error is corrected, and a footnote was also added to expressly state that the listed structures and water features are subject to Building Code requirements.
12.22.42.120 - Accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units: The proposed amendments would ensure compliance with the most recent ADU legislation: AB 2221 and SB 897 (2022), AB 976 and AB 1332 (2023), and SB 477 (2024). These bills made several changes to existing law that clarify certain provisions and further ease development restrictions. The most significant recent change was to height restrictions where the construction of two-story ADUs must now be permitted, subject to certain requirements.
13.22.42.170 - Transitional and supportive housing: A new section is added to address transitional and supportive housing, per State law, specifying that these facilities are permitted in residential zoning districts subject to the same approval requirements, development standards, and restrictions that apply to other residential dwellings of the same type in the same zone, which shall be determined by the City based upon the predominant characteristics of the use. This section also specifies legal requirements, review and approval procedures for "Supportive Housing For the Homeless" and "Low-Barrier Navigation Centers," pursuant to State law. These uses

are proposed to be permitted uses by right in the Industrial zoning district, subject to certain requirements pursuant to Government Code Section 65653.
14.22.44.020 Table 4-1 - Director vs. Hearing Officer: The proposed amendment identifies the Director—rather than the Hearing Officer—as the review authority for administrative development reviews and minor conditional use permits. References to Hearing Officer have been removed since the Director or their designee has the same authority.
15.22.44.040(a) - Application fees: A typographical error has been corrected from the word “then” to “than.”
16.22.47.020(a) - Plot Plan review: Small projects such as decks and tenant improvements should be processed administratively via the Zoning Clearance application process.
17.22.48.030(b) - Administrative Development Review: Language revised to replace “hearing officer” with “director” (see Item 14 above).
18.22.48.050(a) and (b) - Responsibility for development review: The review authority for Development Review applications should be the Planning Commission, not the “development review commission,” so this typographical error and has been corrected. Under subsection (b), “hearing officer” is replaced with “director.”
19.22.56.020 - MCUP review authority: “Hearing officer is replaced with “director.”
20.22.56.030(c) - MCUP review authority: See item 19.
21.22.56.040 - MCUP review authority: See item 19.
22.22.56.050 - MCUP review authority: See item 19.
23.22.60.020 - Applicability of Specific Plan: A typographical error has been corrected from the word “innovate” to “innovative.”
24.22.68.020(b)(1)(a) - Restrictions on nonconforming uses: A typographical error has been corrected from the word “then” to “than.”
25.Restrictions on nonconforming structures - Section 22.68.030(b)(2): See item 3.
26.22.80.020 - Definitions of specialized terms and phrases: The following definitions are to be added or amended: Low barrier navigation center, Public rightof-way, School (Private, Public and Trade), Specialized education and training, Studio, Supportive housing, and Transitional housing. The housing terms are required in conjunction with the proposed amendments per State housing law. “Public right-of-way” is added since it is not expressly defined anywhere else in the Municipal Code. As noted above, the current definition of “school” is very broad and encompasses all types of schools, education and training facilities, and studios. The proposed amendment would create separate discrete definitions for each.
Staff recommends approval of these amendments in order to eliminate conflicting provisions, provide clarification, and achieve changes in the Development Code

necessary to implement the Housing Programs in the City’s certified 2021-2029 Housing Element, and compliance with State law.

Agenda #: 5.5
Meeting Date: July 16, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager
TITLE: CONSULTANT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH ZERO FOODPRINT FOR SB 1383 RECOVERED ORGANIC WASTE PRODUCT (ROWP)
PROCUREMENT THROUGH JUNE 30, 2026.
STRATEGIC
GOAL: Safe, Sustainable & Healthy Community
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the City Manager to sign the Consultant Services Agreement with Zero Foodprint.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The total not-to-exceed amount of the Agreement for FY 2024-25 is $99,000. Sufficient funds are included in the AB 939 Solid Waste Management budget, which Council recently adopted within the FY 2024-25 operating budget. The cost of this service will be fully covered through CalRecycle’s Senate Bill (SB) 1383 Local Assistance Organic Waste Recycling Grant, which the City received in May 2024 totaling $146,317.
BACKGROUND:
SB 1383 is the State's Short-Lived Climate Pollutants Strategy aimed to reduce greenhouse gas (methane) as well as materials entering the landfills. In accordance with Senate Bill (SB) 1383, all jurisdictions are required to procure Recovered Organic Waste Products (ROWP) to meet both 65% target for 2024 and 100% target for 2025.
Recovered Organic Waste Products (ROWP) procurement target was calculated based on the City's 2021 population (56,717), multiplying that by 0.08 tons. This aspect of the legislation set ambitious goals; in order for the City to achieve 100% of the target, 4,537.36 tons of organic materials would have to be procured. In September 2022, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill (AB) 1985 to allot a two-year phase-in period for cities to meet their procurement targets as follows:
% Target (CY) 30% (2023) 65% (2024) 100% (2025)
5.5 Packet Pg. 192
ORG Procurement
Tonnage
1,361.21 tons 2,949.28 4,537.36 tons
The City was unable to meet the 30% procurement target in 2023. However, attempts were made to host several events with residential hauler Waste Management (WM), including two (2) compost giveaways that recovered 80 tons of mulch.
ANALYSIS:
City staff researched the different providers that can satisfy Recovered Organic Waste Products (ROWP) procurement targets in the role of “direct service provider,” which is in addition and supplemental to the tonnage that the City’s two franchise haulers provide.
It was difficult to find comparable vendors to satisfy both the tonnage and reporting requirements. The following is a summary of findings:
Greenleaf Power sells biomass-to-electricity credits to match the City’s electricity usage – similar to airlines offsetting carbon emissions when passengers subscribe to an extra fee. Based on Greenleaf’s assessment, they would only be able to procure 60% of the City’s 100% annual target at a cost of $106,000 over the term of the agreement.
This option would be insufficient for Recovered Organic Waste Products (ROWP) procurement efforts.
Agromin is an organic waste producer that operates multiple composting facilities in Southern California. They have sufficient materials and are able to meet both 2024 and 2025 procurement targets at a cost of $109,378.46. However, the reporting requirements were not satisfactory for the City’s current needs.
Zero Foodprint is a non-profit organization that works with local communities to connect farms with grant funding, and resources such as compost. Zero Foodprint is not an organic waste producer but have assessed conditions and resources to ensure they can support the City in meeting both 2024 and 2025 procurement targets at a cost of $95,111.70. In addition to providing CalRecycle reporting documentation, they are also able to generate project photographs and narratives of where procured materials are distributed. The City would also have access to Zero Foodprint’s Climate Benefit reporting and Climate Action Plan Integration.
It is recommended that the City partner with Zero Foodprint (ZFP) to be a direct service provider in SB 1383’s Recovered Organic Waste Products (ROWP) procurement. It is requested that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement with Zero Foodprint (ZFP) at an annual cost of not-to-exceed $99,000.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the Agreement as to form.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager
TITLE: SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
AGREEMENT WITH ABSOLUTE INTERNATIONAL SECURITY, INC.
FOR SECURITY GUARD SERVICES THROUGH JUNE 30, 2025.
STRATEGIC
GOAL: Responsible Stewardship of Public Resources
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the City Manager to sign Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with Absolute International Security, Inc through June 30, 2025.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The total not-to-exceed amount for Fiscal Year 2024-25 would total $77,800 based on the upcoming facility rental and special event estimates. Sufficient funds are included in the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Parks and Recreation budget to cover the cost of such services.
BACKGROUND:
For several years, Absolute International Security, Inc. has provided security guard services for private rentals and events, as well as City special events, offering affordable hourly rates. Hourly security guard fees are collected directly from facility renters and invoiced monthly to the City, while special event security is provided by Parks & Recreation for annual events.
Absolute International Security, Inc. was awarded the Security Guard Services Agreement on August 2, 2022 through the City’s Request for Proposal process for an initial one-year term. Consistent with Section 2 of the Original Agreement, City Council has the option to extend the Agreement for up to three (3), one (1)-year additional terms. The original agreement was in the amount of $67,800 for fiscal year 2022-2023.
The First Amendment approved by City Council on August 1, 2023 extended the total not-to-exceed compensation to $156,850.
5.6 Packet Pg. 208
This request is the second, one-year extension through June 30, 2025 and the new hourly rate is consistent with the Consumer Price Index. The Parks and Recreation Department requests to extend the service agreement for Fiscal Year 2024-25 under the same terms based on satisfactory services for an additional $77,800; therefore, the total not-to-exceed-amount would be $234,650 over the life of the agreement.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the amended Agreement as to form.

The service rate aligns with the Consumer Price Index, which for January 2024, is 3.10%. The service rate increase serves to compensate for both the mandatory living/minimum wage requirements as well as to further stabilize the manpower needed to service your contract due to the nationwide labor shortage from the pandemic and current economic status.
Please feel free to contact us to discuss any questions you may have. As always, we are here to help, and again, we appreciate the opportunity to serve you.
Sincerely,
Lisa Phan, Controller

Agenda #: 5.7
Meeting Date: July 16, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager
TITLE: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH TENNIS ANYONE, INC. FOR CONTRACTED TENNIS & YOUTH PICKLEBALL
INSTRUCTION THROUGH JUNE 30, 2027.
STRATEGIC
GOAL: Responsible Stewardship of Public Resources
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the City Manager to sign the Professional Services Agreement with Tennis Anyone, Inc. to provide contract tennis and youth pickleball instruction from July 16, 2024 through June 30, 2027.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The total not-to-exceed amount of the Agreement would be $130,000 for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 and sufficient funds are included in the Parks & Recreation Department budget to cover the cost of such services. All fees are collected directly from participants attending City sponsored classes and this agreement would generate approximately $55,000 in revenue for the City each fiscal year.
BACKGROUND:
Tennis Anyone has provided the City of Diamond Bar with quality tennis instruction since 2000. The most recent agreement was created in Fiscal Year 2020-2021 and was extended for three (3) additional one (1) year terms, through June 30, 2024. A new RFP, dated June 20, 2024, was published on PlanetBids, closing July 1, 2024. One (1) response was returned, by Tennis Anyone, Inc., meeting the minimum qualifications of the RFP.
ANALYSIS:
On June 20, 2024 City staff published a Request for Proposal for Tennis and Youth Pickleball Instruction Services on PlanetBids. The bidding period closed on July 1, 2024
5.7 Packet Pg. 214
with one proposal received from Tennis Anyone, Inc. Hourly rates for youth tennis classes, youth tennis camps, and youth semi-private tennis classes ranged from $18.00 to $37.00, while adult tennis classes and semi-private classes were $34.00. Hourly rates for new tot and youth pickleball classes were $28.00.
Based on the sole bid, references, company experience, and successful history with the City of Diamond Bar, Tennis Anyone, Inc. was determined to be the best overall contractor to provide the services for the City. Tennis Anyone, Inc. has the built-in staff which are available to meet the City’s Contract Class Program needs immediately.
Head Coach and owner of Tennis Anyone, Inc., Bill Bush has been a USPTA certified teaching professional for over 20 years. His exceptional coaching experience and experienced management team best meet Diamond Bar’s unique Contract Class Program tennis and youth Pickleball needs.
The Tennis Anyone, Inc. hourly rate is received from the participant and split between the Contractor and the City at a 70%/30% split. Staff believe the rates are appropriate for the level of service and availability of tennis and pickleball coaching required for large scale training. It is recommended the City Council approve a three agreement with Tennis Anyone, Inc. for the tennis and youth pickleball instruction services for the Fiscal Years 2024-2027, with the City’s option to extend the Agreement for two (2) additional one (1) year terms.
Based on current enrollment estimates, approximately $130,000 of contract class funding will be allocated to Tennis Anyone, Inc for Fiscal Year 2024-2025.

Agenda #: 5.8
Meeting Date: July 16, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager
TITLE: CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT WITH PTM GENERAL ENGINEERING SERVICES, INC. FOR THE INTERSECTION SAFETY
IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT (CIP# TI24301) FUNDED UNDER THE
STATE HIGHWAY SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.
STRATEGIC
GOAL: Safe, Sustainable & Healthy Community
RECOMMENDATION:
A. Determine that approving the proposed Project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15301(c) of the CEQA Guidelines; B. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-28 approving the design plans and specifications for the Intersection Safety Improvements Project (CIP# TI24301); and C. Approve, and authorize the Mayor to sign, the Construction Agreement with PTM General Engineering Services, Inc., in the amount of $251,355, plus a contingency amount of $50,271 for Contract Change Orders, to be approved by the City Manager, for a total authorization amount of $301,626.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The FY 23/24 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget included $336,500 for the Intersection Safety Improvements Project’s design and construction. The submitted bid, including a 20% contingency, ensures budget adherence and readiness for any unforeseen circumstances.
The City receives State’s Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Funds on a reimbursement basis. As shown in the table below:

Design Service (provided by Fehr
& Peers, on-call) $33,600 $302,900
Construction Cost (PTM General
Engineering Services, Inc.) $251,355 $51,545
Construction Contingency (20%) $50,271 $1,274
Project Balance $1,274
The $50,271 contingency allocated for the construction agreement with PTM General Engineering Services, Inc. will only be utilized if unforeseen circumstances necessitate a contract change order. If unused, this amount will be returned to the respective fund balance upon project completion.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Using a separate grant funding from the State, the City developed a Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) in compliance with Federal regulations outlined by the State of California. The LRSP serves as a local counterpart to the State's Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP), targeting specific safety requirements within our locality. It comprises a prioritized list of enhancements and strategies aligned with both local needs and the broader statewide safety blueprint.
Recognizing the availability of grant opportunities, notably the HSIP Cycle 11 Grant, which required an LRSP, staff formulated a comprehensive project blueprint that met all grant prerequisites. After approval of the award of the grant in the amount of $302,850 (with the City matched amount of $33,650), the Department of Transportation (DOT) allocated $27,540 in State funds for the Preliminary Engineering (PE) phase/design phase, effective October 1, 2023. This was followed by the approval of an Administering Agency-State Agreement accepting the PE per State requirements at the January 16, 2024 Council meeting, with final approvals from DOT received in February 2024.
The Project proposes improvements at nine (9) signalized intersections (see attached Vicinity Map). The original engineer’s estimate of the Project was $150,000. Therefore, the Public Works Director/City Engineer was authorized to approve the plans and specifications, not requiring Council action. The Project was advertised for bids on PlanetBids on May 14, 2024, with a bid opening scheduled for May 29, 2024. However, no bids were received. Staff then reached out to several potential contractors who had expressed interest in bidding. Upon follow-ups with the contractors, it was found that some contractors decided not to bid, citing ongoing commitments that prevented their participation. Staff consulted with the City Attorney regarding the possibility of
5.8 Packet Pg. 277
negotiating a contract with a contractor without further bidding. The City Attorney confirmed that this approach is permissible under State Law and our Municipal Code Section 3.25.050 (f).
Staff reached out to PTM General Engineering Services, Inc. (PTM), who has previous experience working with Diamond Bar’s traffic improvement projects, and requested a bid proposal. Upon receiving the negotiated bid from the contractor, our team reviewed the bid items alongside the design consultant. Following careful consideration, the consultant confirmed that the bid unit prices were reasonable, particularly given the rising costs of materials and labor. The final negotiated contract amount of $251,355 was agreed upon. This new proposal requires Council action on both the approval of plans and specifications, and the approval and award of the construction agreement.
Staff verified PTM's contractor state license and confirmed its validity. Additionally, references were checked, and outstanding feedback was received regarding their previous work with other cities and agencies, including the City of Monterey Park and Caltrans District #12 and District #8.
Upon issuance of the Notice to Proceed, PTM will carry out all the required work within a timeframe of thirty (30) working days, pending equipment procurement lead times.
The project schedule is tentatively set as follows:
Award of Contract: July 2024
Start of Construction: August 2024
Completion of Construction: September 2024 (pending equipment procurement lead times)
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff has determined that this Project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) provisions pursuant to the California Code of Regulations, guidelines for the implementation of the CEQA, Section 15301(c) under Class 1 Existing Facilities, Existing Highways and Streets.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the Agreement as to form.
