Agenda Item #: 1.1
Meeting Date: December 16, 2025

CITY COUNCIL STUDY SESSION REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA: Daniel Fox, City Manager
FROM: Dannette Mansfield, Principal Management Analyst, City Manager's Office TITLE: Citywide Fee Study Review.

BACKGROUND:

On May 15, 2024, the City entered into an agreement with Willdan Financial Services to prepare a comprehensive Citywide User Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan (CAP). The last full fee study was completed in 2016, and since that time, the City has relied primarily on modest CPI adjustments that no longer reflect the true cost of service delivery.

A User Fee Study allows the City to evaluate whether its fees reasonably reflect the cost of providing specific, private-benefit services. Under State law, user fees must not exceed the reasonable cost of the service provided but should be set to recover no more than, and ideally closely approximate, the actual cost of delivery.

In recent years, many of the City’s fees have not kept pace with increasing costs, operational needs, regulatory requirements, and technology investments. These conditions have created General Fund subsidies for several service areas that primarily benefit individual users rather than the community as a whole.

Conducting a comprehensive update was necessary to restore cost-recovery accuracy and ensure fiscal sustainability.

The User Fee Study examined and recalculated fees in the following categories:
• Administrative and Miscellaneous Services
• Building
• Planning
• Public Works
• Parks & Recreation
• Technology Fees
• General Plan Update Fee
A preliminary Draft Fee Schedule was shared with the Fee Study Subcommittee on October 20, 2025 at 10:30 a.m. in the Grand Conference Room at City Hall. During that meeting, staff and Willdan Financial Services, along with then Council Member Tye and Council Member Low, reviewed initial findings, fee methodologies, departmental cost recovery trends, and the structure of proposed adjustments. The Subcommittee discussion helped confirm the City’s understanding of current fee structure challenges and provided a foundation for the

Page 6 of 333 ends

Agenda Item #: 1.1
Meeting Date: December 16, 2025
comprehensive Draft now presented to the full City Council.

ANALYSIS:

The Citywide User Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan represents the City’s most comprehensive evaluation of service costs since 2016. Years of incremental CPI increases have not kept up with rising expenses, operational demands, technology costs, and evolving regulatory obligations. As a result, the existing fee schedule no longer reflects the actual cost of providing many City services. The updated User Fee Study restores compliance with cost-of-service principles required under State law and offers a structured and transparent framework for evaluating service costs, establishing fee levels, and determining appropriate cost recovery targets moving forward.

Administrative & Miscellaneous Services
Many of the fees and services listed under Administrative/Miscellaneous Services are permits, regulated fees, penalties, or fees not otherwise recommended to be changed.The study identifies that several administrative and miscellaneous fees are priced below the cost of service.

Recommended adjustments include increases to five fees, a reduction to one, the addition of five new falsealarm fees, and shifting one fee from a flat rate to an actual-cost model, while ten fees remain unchanged.

These updates, averaging a 15 percent increase, are based on time-and-cost analysis using fully burdened hourly rates that more accurately represent the staff time required to provide services.

Building Division
The Building and Safety Division is responsible for the protection of public health and safety through the enforcement of Building Codes and other related codes. This Division provides for Building and Safety plan check, permit issuance, and inspection services. Much of the plan check and inspections are provided through contract services.The Building Division is significantly under-recovering its costs, with Building Permit activities operating at approximately 76 percent cost recovery. Within this division it is recommended that new General Plan Update Fee be included to support State-mandated General Plan and Housing Element updates. The fee is calculated by dividing the annualized cost of updates by the average Building Permit revenue over the past eight years. The resulting proposed rate is 6 percent of Building Permit valuation, compared to a full-cost estimate of 11 percent, ensuring that development activity contributes appropriately to long-term planning efforts.

The Study recommends increasing 180 fees, decreasing 8, adding 8 new fees, and retaining 20 at current levels. Average adjustments include a 39 percent increase for flat fees and a 31 percent increase for valuation-based Building Permit fees. These updates reflect the true cost of inspections, plan reviews, and code enforcement, aligning cost recovery with modern construction practices and regulatory demands.

Planning Division
The Planning Division is responsible for the functions related to current and long-term (“advance”) planning, and administers the Community Development Block Grant Program. Planning Division fees do not adequately reflect the time and expertise needed to process development applications in a more complex regulatory environment, particularly due to new State housing and land-use mandates.

The Study recommends increasing 27 fees, decreasing one, adding 15 new fees, and maintaining 37 unchanged. On average, Planning fees would increase by 70 percent, ensuring applicants pay an equitable share of entitlement review, zoning interpretation, and related planning costs.

Public Works
The Public Works Department is committed to providing for the efficient operation of public works systems and programs. The vital services include: planning, designing, constructing, and monitoring the City’s roadways and sidewalk infrastructure as well as sewer and storm drain systems; overseeing traffic management/control systems and traffic signal timing programs; maintaining and repairing all City buildings and fleet of vehicles and equipment; maintaining public parks/public property and Landscape Assessment Districts’ medians, parkways,

Page 7 of 333 ends

Agenda Item #: 1.1
Meeting Date: December 16, 2025
mini parks, slopes, and open space; managing the engineering design and construction of the City’s robust capital improvements program; reviewing/planning and permitting land development activities and subdivisions; and managing environmental programs such as the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). Public Works engineering review, permitting, and inspection fees are currently understated relative to the staff resources necessary to enforce engineering standards and coordinate infrastructure improvements.

The Study recommends increasing 29 fees and keeping 95 as currently set, many of which are deposit-based.

Average adjustments result in a 42 percent increase for flat-fee services, ensuring development activity contributes fairly to the oversight and protection of public infrastructure.

Parks & Recreation
The Parks & Recreation Department administers the recreation program which includes activities and events that strengthen the community's fabric, health and well-being, economic base, and security. This includes community events, enrichment programs, athletics, excursions, activities, and facilities for residents of all ages.

Parks & Recreation fees reflect the City’s longstanding commitment to offering community access to recreational facilities at below-cost rates. The department is currently operating at roughly 32 percent cost recovery.

To better support facility operations and maintenance while maintaining accessibility, the Study recommends increasing 75 fees, adding 2 new fees, and keeping 31 unchanged. The average increase is approximately 9 percent, consistent with balancing cost recovery with community benefit.

Technology Fees
The Study recommends decreasing the Building Records Archiving Fee from 5 percent to 1 percent to accurately represent digital storage costs. It further recommends increasing the Technology and Permit System Replacement Fee from 4 percent to 15 percent to adequately fund technology system and equipment replacement on a 15-year cycle. These adjustments support ongoing modernization of the City’s permitting and recordkeeping systems.

The User Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan provides a transparent, data-driven basis for modernizing the City’s fee structure. Updating fees to reflect the full cost of service reduces reliance on the General Fund, enhances fiscal sustainability, and improves fairness and clarity for service users. The Study recommends annual CPI-based adjustments and a full fee review every five years to maintain accuracy and avoid future cost-recovery gaps. It is anticipated that the next step will be to bring this item before the City Council during a Regular Council Meeting for a Public Hearing as required by Government Code 66016.

1 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Executive Summary
The City of Diamond Bar engaged Willdan Financial Services (Willdan) to determine the full costs incurred by the City to support the various activities for which the City charges user fees. Due to the complexity and the breadth of performing a comprehensive review of fees, Willdan employed a variety of fee methodologies to identify the full costs of individual fee and program activities. This report and the appendices herein identify 100% full cost recovery for City services. Appendix C details the full cost and suggested fees as determined through discussion with departmental staff. The recommended fees identified herein are either at or less than full cost recovery.

2 Comprehensive User Fee Study
User Fee Background
Background
As part of a general cost recovery strategy, local governments adopt user fees to fund programs and services that provide limited or no direct benefit to the community as a whole (“User Fees”). As cities struggle to maintain levels of service and variability of demand, they have become increasingly aware of subsidies provided by the General Fund and have implemented cost-recovery targets. To the extent that governments use general tax monies to provide individuals with private benefits, and not require them to pay the full cost of the service (and, therefore, receive a subsidy), the government is limiting funds that may be available to provide other community-wide benefits. In effect, the government is using community funds to pay for private benefits. Unlike most revenue sources, cities have more control over the level of user fees they charge to recover costs, or the subsidies they can institute.

Fees in California are required to conform to the statutory requirements of the California Constitution, Proposition 218, Proposition 26, and the California Code of Regulations. The Code also requires that the City Council adopt fees by either ordinance or resolution, and that any fees in excess of the estimated total cost of rendering the related services must be approved by a popular vote of two-thirds of those electors voting because the charge would be considered a tax and not a fee. There are no fees suggested to be set above the cost of service and as such a public vote is not required.

California User Fee History
Before Proposition 13, in times of fiscal shortages, California cities were able to raise property taxes, which funded everything from police and recreation to development-related services. However, this situation changed with the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978.

Proposition 13 established the era of revenue limitation in California local government. In subsequent years, the state saw a series of additional limitations to local government revenues. Proposition 4 (1979) defined the difference between a tax and a fee: a fee can be no greater than the cost of providing the service; and Proposition 218 (1996) further limited the imposition of taxes for certain classes of fees. As a result, cities were required to secure a supermajority vote in order to enact or increase taxes. Due to the thresholds needed to increase local taxes, cities have less control and very few successful options for new revenues.

The State of California took a series of actions in the 1990’s and 2000’s to improve the State’s fiscal situation, at the expense of local governments. In 2004-05, the Educational Revenue Augmentation Funds (“ERAF”) take-away of property taxes and the reduction of Vehicle License Fees further reduced local tax revenues.

In addition, on November 2, 2010, California voters approved Proposition 26, the “Stop Hidden Taxes Initiative”, which is aimed at defining “regulatory fees” as a special tax rather than a fee, thus requiring approval by two-thirds vote of local voters. These regulatory fees are typically intended to mitigate the societal and environmental impacts of a business or person’s activities. Proposition 26 contains seven categories of exceptions. The fees analyzed as part of a User Fee study typically fall under categories one through five consisting of charges for specific benefits, government service, regulatory need, for use of government property, or a fine/penalty.

3 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Additional Policy Considerations
State regulations require that municipalities update their fee schedules to reflect the actual costs of certain public services primarily benefiting users. User Fees recover costs associated with the provision of specific services benefiting the user, thereby typically reducing the use of General Fund monies for such purposes.

In addition to collecting the direct cost of labor and materials associated with processing and administering user services, it is common for local governments to recover reasonable support costs. Support costs are those costs relating to a local government’s central service departments that are allocable to the local government’s operating departments. Central services support cost allocations were incorporated using the resulting indirect overhead percentages determined through the City’s Cost Allocation Plan. A Cost Allocation Plan identifies the central service functions of the City such as Finance, City Manager, and Human Resources and allocates their cost to the departments and funds of the City that they support. This plan was used in the User Fee study to account for the burden placed upon central services by the operating departments in order to allocate a proportionate share of central service cost through the study.

As labor effort and costs associated with the provision of services fluctuate over time, a significant element in the development of any fee schedule is that it has the flexibility to remain current. Therefore, it is recommended that the City include an inflationary factor in the resolution adopting the fee schedule to allow the City to annually increase or decrease the fees by changes in a pre-approved inflationary index, as described below. However, such inflationary increases shall not exceed the reasonable estimated cost of providing the services each year.

The City may employ many different inflationary factors. The most commonly used inflator is some form of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as it is widely well known and accepted. A similar inflator is the implicit price deflator for GDP, which is much like the CPI except that while the CPI is based on the same “basket” of goods and services every year, the price deflators’ “basket” can change year to year. Since the primary factor for the cost of a City’s services is usually the costs of the personnel involved, tying an inflationary factor that connects more directly to the personnel costs can also be suitable if there is a clear method, or current practice of obtaining said factor.

Each City should use an inflator that they believe works the best for their specific situation and needs but cannot rely solely on the CPI increase as it is incumbent upon each agency to ensure the amount of the fees charged does not exceeds the reasonable estimated costs of providing the services. It is also recommended that the City perform this internal review annually with a comprehensive review of services and fees performed every five years, which would include adding, amending, or removing fees for programs/services.

4 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Study Objective
As the City of Diamond Bar seeks to efficiently manage limited resources and adequately respond to increased service demands, it needs a variety of tools. A User Fee Study provides assurance that the City has the best information and the best resources available to make sound decisions, fairly and legitimately set fees, maintain compliance with state law and local policies, and meet the needs of the City administration and its constituency. Given the limitations on raising revenue in local government, the City recognizes that a User Fee Study is a very cost-effective way to understand the total cost of services and identify potential fee deficiencies. Essentially, a User Fee is a payment for a requested service provided by a local government that primarily benefits an individual or group.

The total cost of each service included in this analysis is based on the full cost of providing City services, including direct salaries and benefits of City staff, direct departmental costs, and indirect costs from central service support. This study determines the full cost recovery fee for the City to provide each service; however, each fee is set at the City’s discretion, up to 100% of the total cost, as specified in this report.

The principal goal of the study was to help the City determine the full cost of the services that the City provides. In addition, Willdan established a series of additional objectives including:
 Developing a rational basis for setting fees
 Identifying subsidy amount, if applicable, of each fee in the model  Ensuring compliance with State law
 Developing an updatable and comprehensive list of fees  Maintaining accordance with City policies and goals
The study results will help the City better understand its true costs of providing services and may serve as a basis for making informed policy decisions regarding the most appropriate fees, if any, to collect from individuals and organizations that require individualized services from the City.

Scope of the Study
The scope of this study encompasses a review and calculation of the user fees charged by the following Diamond Bar departments and fee groups:
 Administrative/Miscellaneous Service Fees
 Building
 Planning
 Public Works
 Parks and Recreation
The study involved the identification of existing and potential new fees, fee schedule restructuring, data collection and analysis, orientation and consultation, quality control, communication and presentations, and calculation of individual service costs (fees) or program cost recovery levels.

5 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Aim of the Report
The User Fee Study focused on the cost of City services, as City staff currently provide them at existing, known, or reasonably anticipated service and staff level needs. This report provides a summary of the study results, and a general description of the approach and methods Willdan and City staff used to determine the recommended fee schedule. The report is not intended to document all of the numerous discussions throughout the process, nor is it intended to provide an influential dissertation on the qualities of the utilized tools, techniques, or alternative approaches.

6 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Project Approach and Methodology
Conceptual Approach
The basic concept of a User Fee Study is to determine the “reasonable cost” of each service provided by the City for which it charges a user fee. The full cost of providing a service may not necessarily become the City’s fee, but it serves as the objective basis as to the maximum amount that may be collected.

The standard fee limitation established in California law for such fees is the “estimated, reasonable cost” principle. In order to maintain compliance with the letter and spirit of this standard, every component of the fee study process included a related review. The use of budget figures, time estimates, and improvement valuation clearly indicates reliance upon estimates for some data.

Fully Burdened Hourly Rates
The total cost of each service included in this analysis is primarily based on the Fully Burdened Hourly Rates (FBHRs) that were determined for City personnel directly involved in providing services. The FBHRs include not only personnel salary and benefits (see Appendix B), but also any costs that are reasonably ascribable to personnel. The cost elements that are included in the calculation of fully burdened rates are:
 Salaries & benefits of personnel involved
 Operating costs applicable to fee operations
 Departmental support, supervision, and administration overhead  Indirect City-wide overhead costs calculated through the Cost Allocation Plan An important factor in determining the fully burdened rate is in the calculation of productive hours for personnel. This calculation takes the available workable hours in a year of 2,080 and adjusts this figure to 1,650 productive or billable hours to account for calculated or anticipated hours’ employees are involved in non-billable activities such as paid vacation, sick leave, holidays, and other considerations as necessary.

Dividing the full cost, including overhead, of a position by the number of productive hours provides the FBHR.

The FBHRs are then used in conjunction with time estimates, when appropriate for how a service is provided, to calculate a fee’s cost based on the personnel and the amount of their time that is involved in providing each service.

7 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Summary Steps of the Study
The process of the study is straightforward and simple in concept. The following list provides a summary of the study process steps:

Allowable Costs
This report identifies three types of costs that, when combined, constitute the fully burdened cost of a service (Appendix A). Costs are defined as
direct labor, including salary and benefits,
departmental overhead costs, and the City’s
central services overhead, where
departmental and central service overhead
costs constitute support costs. These cost
types are defined as follows:
 Direct Labor (Personnel Costs): The
costs related to staff salaries for
time spent directly on fee-related
services.
 Departmental Overhead: A
proportional allocation of
departmental overhead costs,
including operation costs such as
supplies and materials that are necessary for the department to function.  Central Services Overhead: These costs represent services provided by those Central Services Departments whose primary function is to support other City departments.

8 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Methodology
The three methods of analysis for calculating fees used in this report are the:

Case Study Method (Standard Unit Cost Build-Up Approach): This approach estimates the actual labor and material costs associated with providing a unit of service to a single user. This analysis is suitable when City staff time requirements do not vary dramatically for a service, or for special projects where the time and cost requirements are easy to identify at the project’s outset. Further, the method is effective in instances when a staff member from one department assists on an application, service or permit for another department on an as-needed basis. Costs are estimated based upon interviews with City staff regarding the time typically spent on tasks, a review of available records, and a time and materials analysis.

Program Cost Approach: In some instances, the underlying data is not available or varies widely, leaving a standard unit cost build-up approach impractical. In addition, market factors and policy concerns (as opposed to actual costs) tend to influence rental based fee levels more than other types of services. Willdan employed a different methodology where appropriate to fit a program’s needs and goals. Typical programmatic approach cases are valuation-based fees, Recreation programs, and instances where a program cost is divided over the user base to obtain a per applicant cost for shared cost services.

Valuation Based Fees: This method of collection is used when the valuation of the improvement can be used as a proxy for the amount of effort it would take for City staff to complete the service provided. More specifically, this approach is commonly used for certain User Fees in the Building Division. It is generally accepted that as a project’s size scales up, the cost of the project increases, and the amount of effort needed to review and inspect also increases. Using a valuation-based fees provides for a system that can adjust as project sizes scale. Land is not included in the valuation.

Quality Control/Quality Assurance
All study components are interrelated, thus flawed data at any step in the process will cause the ultimate results to be inconsistent and unsound. The elements of our Quality Control process for User Fee calculations include:
 Involvement of knowledgeable City staff
 Clear instructions and guidance to City staff
 Reasonableness tests and validation
 Internal and external reviews
 Cross-checking

9 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Reasons for cost increases/decreases over current fees
Within the fee tables in Appendix C, the differences are identified between the full costs calculated through the study and the fee levels currently in effect. The reasons for differences between the two can arise from a number of possible factors including:
 Previous fee levels may have been set at levels less than full cost intentionally, based on policy decisions
 Position staffing levels, seniority, and the positions that complete fee and service activity may vary from when the previous costs were calculated
 Personnel and materials costs could have increased at levels that differed from any inflationary factors used to increase fees since the last study
 Changes in processes and procedures within a department, or the City as a whole  Changes in the demand for services in a City may have also changed the staffing or cost structure of departments over time
City Staff Contributions
As part of the study process, Willdan received tremendous support and cooperation from City staff, which contributed and reviewed a variety of components to the study, including:
 Budget and other cost data
 Staffing structures
 Fee and service structures, organization, and descriptions  Direct work hours (billable/non-billable)
 Time estimates to complete work tasks
 Review of draft results and other documentation
A User Fee Study requires significant involvement of the managers and line staff from the departments on top of their existing workloads and competing priorities. The contributions from City staff were critical to this study. We would like to express our appreciation to the City and its staff for their assistance, professionalism, positive attitudes, helpful suggestions, responsiveness, and overall cooperation.

Cost Recovery
The cost recovery models, by department/division fee type, are presented in detail in Appendix C. Full cost recovery is determined by summing the estimated amount of time each position (in increments of minutes or hours) spends to render a service. Time estimates for each service rendered were obtained through interviews conducted with City staff for each department/division fee included in the study. The resulting cost recovery amount represents the total cost of providing each service. The City’s current fee being charged for each service, if applicable, is provided in this section, as well, for reference.

It is important to note that the time data used to determine the amount of time each employee spends assisting in the provision of the services listed on the fee schedule is essential in identifying the total cost of providing each service and will differ from City to City depending on staffing, positions involved, experience of staff, the use of consultants, and the policies and procedures in place for each City.

Specifically, in providing services, a number of employees are often involved in various aspects of the process, spending anywhere from a few minutes to several hours on the service.

The primary goal of this study was to identify the cost of City services, to provide information to help the City make informed decisions regarding the actual fee levels and charges. The responsibility of determining the final fee levels is a complicated task. City staff must consider many issues in formulating recommendations, and the City Council must consider those same issues and more in making the final decisions.

City staff assumes the responsibility to develop specific fee level recommendations to present to the City Council. Unfortunately, there are no hard and fast rules to guide the City, since many of the considerations are based on the unique characteristics of the City of Diamond Bar, and administrative and political discretion. However, in setting the level of full cost recovery for each fee, one should consider whether the service solely benefits one end user or the general community.

Subsidization
Recalling the definition of a user fee helps guide decisions regarding subsidization. The general standard is that individuals (or groups) who receive a wholly private benefit should pay 100% of the full cost of the services. In contrast, services that are simply public benefit should be funded entirely by the general fund’s tax dollars. Unfortunately, for the decision makers, some services fall into the range between these two extremes.

Further complicating the decision, opponents of fees often assert that the activities subject to the fees provide economic, cultural, “quality of life,” or other community benefits that exceed the costs to the City, but it is important to distinguish the difference between any purported possible benefits that may be conveyed through the result of activities of the service receiver and the direct benefit being conveyed through the City providing the service to the requestor.

It is recommended the City consider such factors during its deliberations regarding appropriate fee levels.

Page 21 of 333 ends

11 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Of course, subsidization can be an effective public policy tool since it can be used to reduce fees to encourage certain activities (such as to ensure public safety) or allow some people to be able to afford to receive services they otherwise could not at the full cost. In addition, subsidies can be an appropriate and justifiable action, such as to allow citizens to rightfully access services, without overburdensome costs.

Despite the intent, it is important for the City and public to understand that subsidies must be covered by another revenue source, typically the General Fund’s other unrestricted funds.

Impact on Demand (Elasticity)
Economic principles of elasticity suggest that increased costs for services (higher fees) will eventually curtail the demand for the services; whereas lower fees may spark an incentive to utilize the services and encourage certain actions. Either of these conditions may be a desirable effect to the City. However, the level of the fees that would cause demand changes is largely unknown. The cost of service study did not attempt to evaluate the economic or behavioral impacts of higher or lower fees; nevertheless, the City should consider the potential impacts of these issues when deciding on fee levels.

Summary
City staff is recommending setting user fees at suggested fee amounts as detailed in Appendix C. City and departmental goals, City Council priorities, policy initiatives, past performance, implementation issues, and other internal and external factors should influence staff recommendations and City Council decisions. In this case, the proper identification of additional services (new or existing services) and the update to a consistent and comprehensive fee schedule were the primary objectives of this study. City staff has reviewed the full costs and identified the recommended fee levels for consideration by City Council.

The following sections provide background for each department, division, and fee group and the results of this study’s analysis of their fees. For the full list of each fee’s analysis, refer to Appendix C of this report.

12 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Administrative/Miscellaneous Service Fees
Administrative/Miscellaneous service fees include Abatement Lien Processing, Appeals, Copying, False Alarms, Film Permits, Notary, NSF Checks, and Residential Parking Permit.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with the Administrative/Miscellaneous Services.. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services to update the fee schedule.

Many of the fees and services listed under Administrative/Miscellaneous Services are permits, regulated fees, penalties, or fees not otherwise recommended to be changed. For the user fees evaluated as part of this study the analysis relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach, whereby the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence was determined using staff time involved in providing services to recover the direct cost of staff and the pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City Central services. Willdan then compared the calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that most fees are currently set below the full cost of providing service. Staff is recommending the fees be adjusted as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
 An increase to 5 fees;
 1 fee would decrease;
 5 new False Alarms fees would be added;
 1 fee would change to Actual Cost from a flat fee;
 10 fees would remain as currently set, and;
 the average fee change would be an increase of 15%.

Building
The Building and Safety Division is responsible for the protection of public health and safety through the enforcement of Building Codes and other related codes. This Division provides for Building and Safety plan check, permit issuance, and inspection services. Much of the plan check and inspections are provided through contract services.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with the Building Division. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The analysis of the Building services relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach for fees, whereby the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence was determined using staff time involved with providing the service to recover the direct cost of staff and the pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City Central Services. Willdan then compared the calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that some fees are currently not in line with the updated full cost of providing services. Staff is recommending the fees be adjusted as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
 An increase to 180 fees;
 8 fees would decrease;
 8 new fees would be added;
 20 fees would remain as currently set, and;
 the average fee change would be an increase of 39% for current fees.

In addition to the above referenced fees listed under Building, the Building Permit fees are also provided by this division. For the Building Permit fees, valuation is used as a proxy for measuring the effort needed to provide services on a case-by-case basis. This method is an industry standard widely used by other jurisdictions to evaluate the cost of providing service. It is generally understood that the larger and more complex a project is, the more time and effort that is required to provide the service. Project valuation also follows that trend. By using a combination of either project valuation or historical revenue figures along with a multiplier or cost recovery analysis for historical and anticipated future trends, current cost recovery along with variability in charges due to project type and scale is determined. The result of the cost analysis completed for the Building Permit program found that the program is currently operating at 76% cost recovery based on activity level from fiscal year 2018-2025. Staff is recommending that the Building Permit fees be increased to full cost recovery.

Planning
The Planning Division is responsible for the functions related to current and long-term (“advance”) planning, and administers the Community Development Block Grant Program.

The Planning Division prepares and updates the City’s General Plan to guide Diamond Bar’s long term growth and preservation of the community’s quality of life. The Division administers and updates the zoning and subdivision ordinances, which are the primary tools used to implement the General Plans land use and development goals, objectives and policies. The planners provide information and assistance to the public by explaining the City’s zoning regulations, and reviewing all land use, development and business license applications, and performing inspections to ensure compliance with regulations and conditions of approval.

For projects requiring Planning Commission and City Council review, the Planning Division serves as those bodies’ technical staff, and provides recommendations based on analysis of environmental, land use compatibility and design factors.

The Planning Division also supports the economic development efforts of the City. It updates and maintains records for the general public and coordinates projects and programs with other governmental agencies.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with the Planning Division. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The analysis of Planning services relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach, whereby the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence was determined using staff time involved in providing services to recover the direct cost of staff and the pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City central services. Willdan then compared the calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that most of the current fees are underfunding the cost of most of the services.

Staff is recommending the fees be adjusted as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
 An increase for 27 fees;
 1 fee would decrease;
 15 new fees will be added;
 37 fees would remain as currently set, and;
 the average fee change would be an increase of 70%.

Public Works
The Public Works Department is committed to providing for the efficient operation of public works systems and programs. The vital services include: planning, designing, constructing, and monitoring the City’s roadways and sidewalk infrastructure as well as sewer and storm drain systems; overseeing traffic management/control systems and traffic signal timing programs; maintaining and repairing all City buildings and fleet of vehicles and equipment; maintaining public parks/public property and Landscape Assessment Districts’ medians, parkways, mini parks, slopes, and open space; managing the engineering design and construction of the City’s robust capital improvements program; reviewing/planning and permitting land development activities and subdivisions; and managing environmental programs such as the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES).

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with the Public Works Department. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The analysis of Public Works services relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach, whereby the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence was determined using staff time involved in providing services to recover the direct cost of staff and the pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City central services. Willdan then compared the calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that most of the current fees are underfunding the cost of most of the services.

Staff is recommending the fees be adjusted to full cost recovery as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
 An increase to 29 fees;
 95 fees would remain as currently set, and;
 the average fee change would be an increase of 42%.

Parks and Recreation
The Parks & Recreation Department administers the recreation program which includes activities and events that strengthen the community's fabric, health and well-being, economic base, and security. This includes community events, enrichment programs, athletics, excursions, activities, and facilities for residents of all ages.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with the Parks and Recreation Department. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The analysis of most Parks and Recreation programs encompassed facility rentals, sports, programs, and other community services. The fee for use for government owned facilities and property can be set discretionally by the City, typically based on past usage characteristics, policy goals, and surrounding jurisdiction comparison. The cost of capital acquisition, maintenance, repair, and upgrade to the City and subsequently the public is offset through rental or use fees. As such these fees should be set using the knowledge of activity use for the facilities, policy desires of the City, and market factors when desirable. It is generally accepted that some Recreation programs provide a measure of public benefit to the residents and City as a whole, and as such is it common for services to bear significant subsidies. In addition, cities generally want to ensure that their programs and services remain affordable to the community at large, and that the programs remain competitive with surrounding jurisdictions. For a few of the fees in Parks and Recreation a standard cost of service approach was used, but some of the additional cost considerations above were not included as this is an operational cost analysis study that does not include considerations for capital. The analysis found that the current fees for facility use and services are below the cost of providing them. The analysis also included a cost recovery analysis for Community Services as a whole and it was determined to be operating at around 32% cost recovery. Staff is recommending the fees be adjusted as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
 An increase to 75 fees;
 2 new fees will be added;
 31 fees would remain as currently set, and;
 the average fee change would be an increase of 9%.

Appendix A – Total Allowable Cost to be Recovered
Below are the total allowable costs that may be recovered through User Fees; however, only a portion of the total allowable cost is recovered as staff not only works on services related to User Fees, but also works on an array of other City functions during the operational hours of the City. The amounts listed below will not reconcile to City budgets as costs that should not be included in overhead for personnel in the application of determining fully burdened hourly rates were excluded. Examples of these costs are capital, debt, monetary transfers, contract costs, and any other costs that are charged directly to the service requestor.

For Parks & Recreation participation fees, which include, but are not limited to elective activities such as athletics, excursions, and special events, activities, and programs, the City Manager shall have the authority to set fees to recover up to the full direct costs of the specific activity, program, or event. Direct costs include those related to City personnel, supplies, services, admissions, transportation, etc. Using the above as a guideline, in those cases where the fee to be charged is nominal (e.g. $10), the City Manager may determine not to require a fee for the elective activity if the City Manager determines the administrative burden in collecting the fee outweighs the benefit of the revenue to be derived from collecting the fee.

Agenda Item #: 7.3
Meeting Date: December 16, 2025

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager
SUBJECT: Amendment to the Compensation Plan for Part-time Non-Benefitted Classifications of Employment.

STRATEGIC GOAL: Open, Engaged and Responsive Government RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2025-35 amending the Compensation Plan for Part-time Classifications of Employment Effective December 27, 2025.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

There is a negligible financial impact to the 2025/26 fiscal year budget as the mandatory minimum wage increases can be absorbed into the existing budget.

BACKGROUND:

On April 4, 2016, former California Governor Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 3 into law which legislated scheduled and phased annual increases to minimum wage starting January 1, 2017 through January 1, 2022 when it would reach $15 per hour. From there, the determination of the annual minimum wage change (if any) would be based on the Department of Finance’s annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) calculation for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers. The minimum wage increases are based on the CPI calculation by the lesser of 3.5 percent and then certified by the Governor of California. If the CPI calculation is negative then the change to minimum wage is $0. The scheduled increases since 2017 until now are listed below for reference.

Effective Date Minimum Hourly Rate
January 1, 2017 $10.50
January 1, 2018 $11.00
January 1, 2019 $12.00
January 1, 2020 $13.00
January 1, 2021 $14.00
January 1, 2022 $15.00

Page 82 of 333 ends

Agenda Item #: 7.3
Meeting Date: December 16, 2025
January 1, 2023 $15.50
January 1, 2024 $16.00
January 1, 2025 $16.50
One of the protections of the minimum wage law is an annual review of the wage rate using the U.S.

Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (U.S. CPI-W). On August 1, 2025, the Department of Finance calculated that the U.S. CPI-W increased by 2.49 percent for the period from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, compared to the prior 12-month period. Based on the adjustments for inflation, California’s Department of Finance thus certified that the state-level minimum wage will increase to $16.90 per hour on Jan. 1, 2026. This change to state law will impact Step A of the part-time non-benefitted Recreation Leader, Facility Attendant and Maintenance Worker salary range on the City’s part-time non-benefitted salary schedule.

ANALYSIS:

Each year, City staff reviews and analyzes its options to remain compliant with state law and manage budgetary resources in a financially prudent manner. It is requested that the City Council consider amending the Recreation Leader, Facility Attendant and Maintenance Worker salary ranges by increasing Step A by forty cents per hour from $16.50 to $16.90. As of this writing, the City currently has eight (8) part-time non-benefitted Recreation Leaders and/or Facility Attendants that would be impacted by the forty-cent increase to hourly minimum wage. If they each worked 500 hours between January – June 2026, the estimated financial impact on the remaining 2025/26 fiscal year budget is approximately $1,600. The modest increase to the part-time non-benefitted employee salaries can be managed within existing budgetary resources.

City and Union Agreement
The City met and conferred with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) union, representing part-time non-benefitted Parks and Recreation employees, regarding the upcoming mandatory minimum wage increase. The City and AFSCME reached written agreement on December 2, 2025 to increase Step A on the salary schedule, impacting Recreation Leaders and Facility Attendants, by forty cents from $16.50 to $16.90 per hour.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the Resolution as to form.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager
SUBJECT: Third Amendment to the Consultant Services Agreement with Willdan Engineering to Provide Temporary Permit Technician Staffing for the Building and Safety Division.

STRATEGIC GOAL: Open, Engaged and Responsive Government RECOMMENDATION:

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The proposed amendment would increase the contract amount by $110,000, thereby increasing the not-toexceed amount of the contract from $180,000 to $290,000. Sufficient funds are available in the Community Development Department’s FY 2025/26 contract services budget to cover the temporary staffing services in the Building and Safety Division. In addition, the cost is partially offset by salary savings due to an extended medical leave in the Building and Safety Division, as well as a temporary vacancy in the Neighborhood Improvement Division.

BACKGROUND:

The Building and Safety Division has two budgeted full-time Permit Technicians responsible for managing building permitting services for property owners and contractors. In December 2024, the City entered into a Consultant Services Agreement with Willdan Engineering under the City Manager’s spending authority to provide temporary staffing at an hourly rate of $85 while one of the Permit Technicians was on medical leave.

The City Council approved two extensions to date, with the current extension set to expire on December 31, 2025.

The employee remains on doctor-ordered medical leave with no confirmed return date. To maintain adequate staffing levels and ensure uninterrupted service, the City proposes extending its agreement with Willdan Engineering.

ANALYSIS:

In November 2024, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) via PlanetBids to solicit qualified consulting

Agenda Item #: 7.4
Meeting Date: December 16, 2025
firms for interim Permit Technician services. Three firms responded, offering hourly rates ranging from $78 to $95.

Following interviews with two candidates, staff selected Tressa Brown of Willdan Engineering. Ms. Brown brings over 21 years of experience in permit technician services, having served in the cities of Anaheim, Pomona, Eastvale, and other nearby jurisdictions. She has consistently demonstrated strong customer service skills and has proven to be a valuable contributor to the City’s Permit Services team.

Given the continued need for temporary staffing and Ms. Brown’s demonstrated performance and familiarity with department operations, it is recommended that the City council approve extending the Consultant Services Agreement with Willdan Engineering.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the Third Amendment as to form.

Additional revenue may be generated depending on advertising performance. The agreement also provides the City with daily display time for public service messaging and emergency notifications.

BACKGROUND:

Page 102 of 333 ends

Agenda Item #: 8.1
Meeting Date: December 16, 2025
Evergreen Media LLC and the Walnut Valley Unified School District propose to construct and operate a 97-foot tall, dual-faced digital billboard on property owned by WVUSD at 880 South Lemon Avenue. Because the City’s Development Code currently prohibits billboards, the proposal requires a Development Code Amendment to allow limited billboard installations, along with individual project approvals and a Development Agreement establishing operating requirements and community benefits. The project is intended to generate long-term revenue for district programs while providing the City with financial benefits, public service messaging capacity, and gateway identification along the State Route 60 corridor.

To enable development of the project, the District requests approval of the following actions:
• Development Code Amendment (DCA) to establish a regulatory framework for billboards within the Light Industry (I) zone;
• Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow construction and operation of a 97-foot-tall digital billboard at the subject property;
• Development Review (DR) to evaluate the architectural and aesthetic design elements of the proposed billboard; and
• Development Agreement (DA) between the City and WVUSD to establish operating standards and community benefits for the proposed digital billboard.

Planning Commission Action
On November 25, 2025, the Planning Commission conducted a noticed public hearing, received public testimony, and recommended approval of the project by a unanimous vote. Commissioners cited the District’s revenue strategy, community benefits, and limited scope of the proposal. Supporting materials, including the Planning Commission staff report and draft minutes, are included as attachments.

ANALYSIS:

Policy Considerations
The City’s Development Code has historically prohibited billboards in order to protect community aesthetics and avoid visual clutter along major corridors. The proposed framework retains that core policy direction by allowing a single freeway-oriented installation, subject to strict design, location, and operational standards. This is a limited exception that supports a community-serving institution. In doing so, the project advances City objectives to support public education partners, expand public safety and emergency messaging capabilities, and generate new revenue.

Development Code Amendment (DBCC Chapter 22.70)
The proposed amendment establishes a narrow regulatory allowance for billboards within Diamond Bar.

Billboard placement is limited to freeway-adjacent parcels in the Light Industry zone and is contingent on approval of a Conditional Use Permit and Development Agreement. The ordinance sets standards related to spacing, height, lighting, maintenance, and operations to safeguard aesthetics, traffic safety, and residential areas. Approval of this ordinance does not authorize additional installations; any future proposals would require separate legislative action by the City Council.

Development Agreement (DBCC Chapter 22.62)
A Development Agreement is a legislative instrument establishing rights, obligations, and community benefits associated with a project. The proposed agreement grants WVUSD the vested right to construct and operate a billboard consistent with City entitlements and establishes financial provisions and oversight mechanisms.

Key components include:
• Term of twenty years with one ten-year extension option based on mutual consent.

Page 103 of 333 ends

Agenda Item #: 8.1
Meeting Date: December 16, 2025
• Operation and maintenance by Evergreen Media under a separate lease with WVUSD. • Revenue sharing provisions benefitting WVUSD and the City. Maintenance and repair obligations to address vandalism or malfunctions.
• Restrictions on political, adult, or offensive content.

City Benefits include revenue sharing, public service announcement time, audit rights, and annual performance review authority.
• Revenue Sharing – The City will receive 25% of all revenue (including annual rent and revenue share) WVUSD receives from Evergreen Media under the lease agreement. The table below shows that with the built-in 15% rent escalator for the District, the City is expected to receive an estimated cumulative amount of approximately $1.87 million over the initial 20-year term of the lease.

Year Guaranteed Annual Rent to
WVUSD
City’s Annual 25% Share
(Community Benefit Fee)*
1-5 $300,000/year $75,000/year
6-10 $345,000/year $86,250/year
11-15 $396,750/year $99,187.50/year
16-20 $456,262.50/year $114,065.63/year
*These amounts represent the minimum guaranteed payments to the City; total annual revenue may be higher depending on billboard advertising performance.
• Public Service Announcements – The City will receive 6% of total daily display time (approximately 1.5 hours within a 24-hour cycle) for public service announcements. Messages will include Amber Alerts, emergency notifications, and public safety messages.
• Audit Rights – The City will retain the right to audit revenue records to ensure accurate calculation of payments and compliance, and may conduct annual performance reviews to verify good faith compliance with DA terms.

Conditional Use Permit (DBCC Chapter 22.58)
Staff evaluated project compatibility, orientation, light levels, and operational controls. With implementation of conditions, the billboard is expected to avoid significant visual or lighting impacts on adjacent neighborhoods and will meet required findings for approval including land use compatibility, public health and safety, and consistency with adopted standards.

Development Review (DBCC Chapter 22.48)
The billboard will consist of two 14-foot by 48-foot LED displays mounted on a V-shaped structure. Images will remain static for eight seconds and will not include transition effects. The structure is oriented to maximize visibility for freeway motorists and minimize views from residences.

Meeting Date: December 16, 2025
Proposed Southwest and Southeast (Facing SR-60) Isometric Drawings Staff and Evergreen Media collaborated to establish a design concept that prominently incorporates City branding elements, including the hillside profile (7 feet tall to the highest peak) and the “Diamond Bar” wordmark utilizing 3-foot tall letters. This branding utilizes the City’s official color palette, along with coordinated neutral tones on the pole cover and trim, to maintain visual consistency with surrounding streetscape elements and reinforce the City’s identity. Given the billboard’s highly visible location along the SR-60 corridor, a key gateway into Diamond Bar, the branding elements play an important role in supporting City recognition, strengthening the City’s visual presence, and contributing positively to its overall branding strategy and gateway image.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:

Pursuant to CEQA, the City prepared an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration for the proposed project. Public notice was provided and a 30-day review period occurred between September 22 and October 21, 2025. Six mitigation measures have been identified to address potential impacts, and these will be enforced through a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. Staff finds that the MND reflects the City’s independent judgment and analysis.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING:

On December 5, 2025, public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within a 1,000-foot radius of the project site. The notice was submitted to the San Gabriel Valley Tribune newspaper for publication on December 5, 2025. A notice display board was posted at the site, and a copy of the notice was posted at the City's designated community posting sites.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed the draft ordinances and resolutions for form and legal sufficiency.

CONCLUSION:

The proposed digital billboard requires legislative action to amend the Development Code, followed by discretionary approvals for operation and design. In policy terms, the project represents a narrowly tailored exception to the City’s general prohibition on billboards, designed to support a community serving institution while maintaining strong protections for community character and nearby neighborhoods. The regulatory framework allows only one new billboard installation citywide and incorporates aesthetic, operational, and maintenance safeguards, while also providing long-term financial benefits and enhanced public information

Walnut Valley Unified School District (WVUSD) Electronic Billboard Project City of Diamond Bar
Rudy Lopez, Assistant Planner

Diamond Bar, Los Angeles County
The applicants request approval to install and operate a dual-faced digital LED billboard on the Walnut Valley Unified School District (WVUSD) property at 880 S. Lemon Avenue, Diamond Bar, immediately north of SR-60. The sign would be placed within an approximately 100-square-foot base area at the southwest corner of the 6.08-acre parcel, occupying roughly 1,500 square feet of airspace above the base. The proposed structure would be approximately 97 feet in total height, consisting of a 90-foot sign with up to 7 feet of decorative architectural features. Each sign face would measure 14 feet high by 48 feet wide and display static images that change every eight seconds. Project work includes foundation excavation, installation of the monopole and superstructure, underground electrical trenching to connect to WVUSD or SCE service, removal of two pine trees along S. Lemon Avenue with replacement planting of two 24-inch box crape myrtles, and minor landscape enhancements along the SR-60 frontage. The Project site’s General Plan designation is School (S) and the zoning is Light Industry (I).

The IS/MND determined the proposed Project would result in less than significant or no impacts for all environmental topics with the exception of Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils (Paleontological Resources), and Tribal Cultural Resources, which could have potentially significant impacts. Mitigation measures have been identified to reduce those impacts to less than significant. For Cultural Resources, measures require halting work and retaining a qualified archaeologist if archaeological materials are encountered (CUL-1) and following Health & Safety Code §7050.5/PRC §5097.98 procedures if human remains are discovered (CUL-2). For Paleontological Resources, if subsurface paleontological evidence is found, work must cease and a County-certified paleontologist must evaluate the find and, if warranted, prepare a Paleontological Resources Mitigation Program for salvage and curation (GEO-1). For Tribal Cultural Resources, measures require retaining a Native American monitor from or approved by the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians – Kizh Nation prior to ground-disturbing activity (TCR-1), implementing stop-work and assessment protocols for unanticipated discovery of tribal cultural resource objects (TCR-2), and following protocols for any unanticipated discovery of human remains and associated funerary or ceremonial objects (TCR-3). Consistent with the IS/MND, implementation of CUL-1, CUL-2, GEO-1, TCR-1, TCR-2, and TCR-3 reduces these potential impacts to less than significant level.

Identify the project's significant or potentially significant effects and briefly describe any proposed mitigation measures that would reduce or avoid that effect.

Walnut Valley Unified School District Electronic Billboard Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
September 2025 Page 1

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Statutory Authority and Requirements
This Initial Study has been prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (California Public Resources Code [PRC] Sections 21000, et seq.) and the State CEQA Guidelines (14 California Code of Regulations [CCR] Title 14 Sections 15000, et seq.). This Initial Study is an informational document intended to be used as a decision-making tool for the Lead Agency and responsible agencies in considering and acting on the proposed Project.

Pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15063, the City of Diamond Bar, as Lead Agency, has prepared this Initial Study to determine if the proposed Walnut Valley Unified School District Electronic Billboard Project (Project) would have a significant effect on the environment. If, as a result of the Initial Study, the Lead Agency finds that there is evidence that mitigation cannot reduce the impact to a less than significant level for any aspect of the proposed Project, then the Lead Agency must prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to analyze project-related and cumulative environmental impacts. Alternatively, if the Lead Agency finds that there is no evidence that the Project as proposed may cause a significant effect on the environment, the Lead Agency may prepare a Negative Declaration (ND). If the Lead Agency finds that there is evidence of a significant impact, but the impact can be reduced through mitigation, the Lead Agency may prepare a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND). Such determination can be made only if “there is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the Lead Agency” that such significant environmental impacts may occur (PRC Section 21080(c)).

Pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15063(c), the purposes of an Initial Study are to:
• Provide the Lead Agency with information to use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an EIR, MND or a ND;
• Enable an applicant or Lead Agency to modify a project, mitigating adverse impacts before an EIR is prepared, thereby enabling the project to qualify for a ND; • Assist in the preparation of an EIR, if one is required, by; o Focusing the EIR on the effects determined to be significant, o Identifying the effects determined not to be significant, o Explaining the reasons for determining that potentially significant effects would not be significant, and
o Identifying whether a program EIR, tiering, or another appropriate process can be used for analysis of the project’s environment effects.
• Facilitate environmental assessment early in the design of a project; • Provide documentation of the factual basis for the finding in a MND or ND that a project will not have a significant effect on the environment;
• Eliminate unnecessary EIRs; and
• Determine whether a previously prepared EIR could be used with the project.

Walnut Valley Unified School District Electronic Billboard Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
September 2025 Page 2
The environmental documentation, which is ultimately selected by the City in accordance with CEQA, is intended as an informational document undertaken to provide an environmental basis for subsequent discretionary actions upon the proposed Project. The resulting environmental documentation is not, however, a policy document and its approval and/or certification neither presupposes nor mandates any actions on the part of those agencies from whom permits and other discretionary approvals would be required.

1.2 Summary of Findings
Pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15367, the City of Diamond Bar (City), as the Lead Agency, has the authority for environmental review and adoption of the environmental documentation, in accordance with CEQA. As set forth in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15070, an Initial Study leading to a Negative Declaration (IS/ND) or Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) can be prepared when:
• The Initial Study shows that there is no substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the agency, that the project may have a significant effect on the environment (resulting in a Negative Declaration), or
• The Initial Study identifies potentially significant effects, but:
a. Revisions in the project plans or proposals made by, or agreed to by the applicant before a proposed mitigated negative declaration and initial study are released for public review would avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur, and
b. There is no substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the agency, that the project as revised may have a significant effect on the environment (resulting in a Mitigated Negative Declaration).

Based on the Environmental Checklist Form and supporting environmental analysis provided in Section

4.0, Environmental Analysis, the proposed Project would have no impact or a less than significant impact concerning all environmental issue areas, except the following, for which the Project would have a less than significant impact with mitigation incorporated:
• Cultural Resources;
• Geology and Soils (Paleontological Resources);
• Tribal Cultural Resources; and
• Mandatory Findings of Significance.

1.3 Public Review Process
The Notice of Intent (NOI) to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration has been provided to the Clerk of the County of Los Angeles and State Clearinghouse and mailed to responsible agencies and trustee agencies concerned with the Project and other public agencies with jurisdiction by law over resources affected by the Project, as well as to those Native American tribes that have submitted a written request for notice and are traditionally/culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the Project site. The NOI was also posted at the Project site and published in a local newspaper. A 30-day public review period has been established for the IS/MND in accordance with State CEQA Guidelines Section 15073, which will begin on September 22, 2025, and end on October 21, 2025.

During the public review period, the IS/MND, including the technical appendices, was made available for review at the following locations:

2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

2.1 Project Location
The proposed Walnut Valley Unified School District (WVUSD) Electronic Billboard Project (herein referred to as the “Project” or “proposed Project”) site is located in the City of Diamond Bar within the County of Los Angeles; refer to Figure 1, Regional Map. The City of Diamond Bar is located in the San Gabriel Valley region, bordered to the northwest by the City of Walnut, to the northeast by the City of Pomona, to the southeast by the City of Chino Hills, to the west by the City of Industry, and to the south and southwest by unincorporated Los Angeles County; refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, Vicinity Map.

The property where the proposed sign will be located consists of 6.08 acres (APN 8760-015-901) located at 880 S. Lemon Avenue, Diamond Bar; refer to Figure 3, Aerial View of the Project Site. The Project proposes to install and operate a digital billboard within an approximately 100-square foot base area at the southwest corner of the property, as described further below. The proposed sign also occupies approximately 1,500 square feet of the airspace above the base of the sign. For purposes of the analysis, this area is referred to as the “proposed improvement area”; refer to Figure 4, Proposed Improvement Area. All existing on-site buildings and the remaining areas of the Project site would remain unchanged.

Regional access to the site is provided via State Route (SR) 60, located immediately south of the Project site. Local access to the site is provided primarily from S. Lemon Avenue. Secondary access is provided from Glenwick Avenue.

2.2 Existing Setting

EXISTING SITE USES
As shown in Figure 3, under existing conditions, the southwestern portion of the proposed improvement area, where the proposed Project would be installed, consists of an existing asphalt-covered parking lot used for WVUSD school buses and other vehicles. School buses are parked under canopies which are covered with solar panels. WVUSD administrative offices and school bus maintenance facilities are located immediately to the north and east of the installation site. The proposed improvement area is currently asphalt-paved, and a six-foot tall concrete block security wall borders the parcel along its boundaries to the west, south and east. Adjacent to this block wall is the Caltrans chain link fence which defines the State right-of-way along the southern site boundary, closest to the SR 60 corridor. On the other side of this southern boundary wall and fence, a sloped landscape strip of land, consisting of overgrown brush and dirt, separates the Project site from the SR 60 corridor. Outside the western boundary of the proposed improvement area, along S. Lemon Avenue, there are existing mature pine trees.

GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING
The Project site has a General Plan land use designation of School (S), with a corresponding zoning of Light Industry (I). The Diamond Bar General Plan 2040 Land Use and Economic Development Element identifies the School land use designation as school facilities, which are interspersed throughout the City. The Light Industry zoning designation is applied to areas appropriate for light industrial/manufacturing uses including research and development, office-based industrial uses in an "industrial park" setting, business support services, and commercial uses requiring larger sites than are available in the commercial zoning districts.

SURROUNDING LAND USES
As shown in Figure 3, the Project site is surrounded by the following uses:
• North: The WVUSD Education Center Building is located on the Project site to the north of the electronic billboard sign installation location. Further north is Walnut Elementary School, on land zoned Light Industry (I). Beyond that is Lycoming Street, with additional I-zoned office and light industrial uses, as well as a mobile home park zoned Office-Professional (OP). • East: Glenwick Avenue borders the Project site to the east. East of Glenwick Avenue are singlefamily residences, zoned Low Medium Density Residential (RLM). • South/Southwest/Southeast: SR 60 and an associated high freeway sound embankment are located immediately south of the Project site. South of SR 60 are commercial, and retail uses zoned Community Commercial (C-2) and Regional Commercial (C-3), and single-family residences zoned RLM.
• West: S. Lemon Avenue borders the Project site to the west, with multiple I-zoned light industrial and office uses to the west of S. Lemon Avenue.

2.3 Project Characteristics
The Project Applicants, Evergreen Media LLC and WVUSD, are proposing to install and operate an electronic billboard within the Project site, adjacent to the SR 60 freeway corridor; refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4. All construction activities and improvements would be concentrated within this 1,500-squarefoot portion of the site. As previously stated, all existing on-site buildings and the remaining areas of the property would remain unchanged.

The total height of the electronic billboard would be 90 feet tall with an additional seven feet of decorative/architectural features, for a total of approximately 97 feet in height. The height of the proposed electronic billboard would be in compliance with the provisions of the proposed Development Code Update which limits billboards to 75 feet above the nearest freeway travel elevation, plus 10 additional feet for decorative/architectural features which would not consist of advertising space. The nearest SR 60 travel elevation is located approximately 21.5 feet from the base of the billboard; therefore, the total maximum permitted height is 96.5 feet, or 106.5 feet including decorative elements; refer to Figure 12, Proposed Sign Section – East.

The proposed Project involves the construction of a dual-faced, digital/LED billboard, which would be visible to both eastbound and westbound drivers on SR 60, and associated infrastructure connections; refer to Figure 5, Isometric Sign Rendering – Northern Views; and Figure 6, Isometric Sign Rendering – Southern Views. Each of the screens would be 14 feet tall by 48 feet wide, topped by a three-to-sevenfoot-tall decorative/architectural design element; refer to Figure 7, Proposed Sign Elevations – North; Figure 8, Proposed Sign Elevations – South; Figure 9, Proposed Sign Elevations – East; and Figure 10, Proposed Sign Elevations – West.
1 An eight-foot in diameter round base will protect the pole, along with 1 The final colors of the design/architectural elements presented in Figure 5 through Figure 10 may vary as compared to the images presented herein, and the final design and color scheme would be approved by the City. The Project would undergo the City’s design review process, in compliance with the requirements set forth in City Code Title

22.48, Development Review, which includes the City’s design review and approval process, thereby ensuring that development projects comply with all applicable design guidelines, standards, and minimize adverse effects on surrounding properties and the environment. In addition, the Project would be required to comply with all applicable

Walnut Valley Unified School District Electronic Billboard Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
September 2025 Page 7
12 three-foot-tall metal bollard posts; refer to Figure 11, Proposed Sign Section – South; and Figure 12.

The digital content of the electronic billboards would consist of general market outdoor advertising and public service messages, with the images changing every eight seconds without transition animation.

Project operation would include the display of alternating LED advertisements on either side of the billboard.

PROJECT INSTALLATION/CONSTRUCTION
Installation of the billboard is anticipated to take place in early 2026. The total working time for installation of the proposed billboard would be approximately five to seven days, with demolition of asphalt requiring one day, grading and excavation requiring one day, and billboard installation requiring approximately five days. The billboard screens would be installed with a crane and aerial lift.

Approximately five days before installation of the billboard foundation, the contractor would excavate a hole measuring five feet in diameter and ten feet deep to inspect for any underground utilities, such as electrical lines, sewer systems, or other potential obstructions. This preliminary work would be completed within one day, and the excavated soil would be returned to the same hole until construction commences.

On the first day of construction, both an auger drill and rubber-tired dump trucks would be mobilized to the site. The auger would drill a hole for installation of the post approximately five feet in diameter and approximately 31 feet in depth. This process would be completed within one day. All excavated materials would be removed from the site by dump trucks. It is anticipated that approximately 32 cubic yards of soil would be exported, requiring about four truckloads. Once the post installation hole is ready, the column would be installed and concrete would be poured, completing the foundation-related ground disturbance.

The concrete foundation would require one week to cure prior to installation of the electronic billboard screens and elements.

After the foundation is cured, a flatbed trailer would deliver the structural steel to the site and begin construction of the billboard superstructure, to prepare for installation of the digital screens. Each of the digital screens, which would be in two to four sections, would be bolted to the superstructure frame while on the ground. The complete superstructure with the attached digital screens would be lifted and mounted to the column, and electrical connection work would commence. After electrical wiring is completed, the screens are securely fastened to the superstructure and powered for initial testing.

Communication systems would be connected, and the digital screens would be activated with advertising content.

Electrical service for the electronic billboard would be installed underground by trenching from either WVUSD’s electrical transformer or a service line provided by Southern California Edison (SCE). If temporary power from WVUSD is required, that trench would be integrated with the planned trench for the SCE connection. The trench would measure approximately one foot wide and three feet deep, with the length determined by the distance between the SCE drop point and the electronic billboard. All soil or dirt that would be removed during trenching would be placed back in the trench after inspection and approval, prior to repaving with asphalt.
regulations and requirements, including City Code Title 15, Building and Construction Safety, which incorporates the California Building Code.

September 2025 Page 8
As part of the Project, two pine trees along S. Lemon Avenue will be removed, and in their place, two 24- inch box crape myrtle trees will be planted. The currently degraded landscape strip between the driveway entry off S. Lemon Avenue to the property and the SR 60 corridor would be enhanced with mulch or other organic topsoil dressing.

2.4 Project-Related Approvals

CALTRANS OUTDOOR ADVERTISING (ODA) DISPLAY PERMIT (CALTRANS) Pursuant to the Federal Highway Beautification Act (1965) and State Outdoor Advertising Act (2014), Caltrans is responsible for regulating the placement of outdoor advertising displays visible from California Highways and performing regular reviews of outdoor advertising displays located adjacent to freeways and highways identified on the National Highway System. The Project proposes to develop a digital, dualfaced billboard adjacent to the SR 60 freeway; therefore, the Project would be subject to approval of an ODA Display Permit by Caltrans. The ODA Display Permit would ensure that certain location and design features of the Project would be met, including, but not limited to, the following:
• The billboard must be located outside the right-of-way of any highway; • There must be an existing business activity within 1,000 feet of the proposed billboard; • The digital billboard must be at least 1,000 feet from any other digital billboard; • The digital billboard must be at least 500 feet from any other static billboard; and • The maximum display area is set at 25 feet in height by 60 feet in length. (Caltrans, 2021)

DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT
The City of Diamond Bar will require adoption of a Development Code Amendment to allow the Project to operate subject to a conditional use permit. The Development Code (Title 22 of the Diamond Bar City Code) would be amended to modify the following sections: Section 22.10.30 – Commercial/Industrial District Land Uses and Permit Requirements; Section 22.36.080 – Prohibited Signs; Section 22.36.120 – Standards for Specific Types of Signs; and Section22.80.020 – Definitions of Specialized Terms and Phrases.

Upon adoption, the proposed Project would be required to comply with the standards established in the amended Development Code.

The following sets forth the proposed revisions to each affected section of the Development Code:

Section 22.10.30 – Commercial/Industrial District Land Uses and Permit Requirements, would be amended to permit “billboards” as a conditionally permitted use in the City’s I (Light Industry) zones.

Section 22.36.080 – Prohibited Signs, would be amended to allow off-site signs, as specified.

Section 22.36.120 – Standards for Specific Types of Signs, would add a new subsection for billboards, as follows:

Billboards. Billboards may be permitted by conditional use permit and a development agreement on properties located within the I zone, subject to the following limitations:
(1) No billboard shall be located more than 400 feet from the edge of a freeway right-of-way, measured from the nearest point of the sign structure to the nearest point of the right-of-way boundary.

(2) No billboard shall be located within 800 feet of any existing billboard, regardless of whether the proposed billboard is static or digital. In addition, no digital billboard shall be located within 2,000 feet of any existing digital billboard. Distance shall be measured in a straight line between the bases of the respective billboard structures.
(3) No billboard shall be located within 400 feet of any parcel that is zoned or used for residential purposes. Distance shall be measured in a straight line from the closest point of the residentiallyzoned or residentially-used parcel boundary to the base of the proposed billboard. (4) The maximum height of a billboard shall not exceed 75 feet, measured as the vertical distance from the highest point of the sign structure to the finished surface elevation at the edge of the nearest freeway travel lane. This measurement shall be taken along a line drawn perpendicularly from the base of the sign structure to the tangent of the nearest freeway lane. A decorative or architectural element may extend up to 10 feet above the maximum height, provided it does not contain any additional display area or advertising content. (5) The maximum area of any individual sign face shall not exceed 672 square feet. Each sign face shall be limited to a maximum length of 48 feet and a maximum height of 14 feet. No billboard shall contain more than one sign face per direction of travel, and vertical stacking of sign faces on the same side of a structure is prohibited.
(6) Architectural features such as framing, decorative borders, or structural shrouds that do not contain any advertising content shall be permitted above, below, or around the sign face and shall not count toward the maximum allowable sign area, provided they are designed as integral components of the sign structure and do not function as additional sign faces. (7) No billboard shall contain more than two sign faces. Where two sign faces are configured in a Vshaped or angled arrangement, the angle between the faces shall not exceed 45 degrees as measured between the planes of the two sign faces.
(8) All illuminated billboards shall be equipped with automatic light-sensing technology to adjust brightness in response to ambient lighting conditions. Maximum luminance shall not exceed 0.3 foot-candles above ambient levels, measured at a distance of 250 feet perpendicular to the center of the sign face.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED
The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this Project, involving at least one impact that is a “Potentially Significant Impact” or “Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated” as indicated by the checklist on the following pages.

Aesthetics Agriculture and Forestry Resources Air Quality Biological Resources X Cultural Resources Energy
X Geology and Soils Greenhouse Gas Emissions Hazards and Hazardous Materials
Hydrology and Water Quality Land Use and Planning Mineral Resources Noise Population and Housing Public Services
Recreation Transportation X Tribal Cultural
Resources
Utilities and Service Systems Wildfire X Mandatory Findings of Significance

DETERMINATION
On the basis of this initial evaluation:

I find that the proposed Project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.

X
I find that although the proposed Project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the Project have been made by or agreed to by the Project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.

I find that the proposed Project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.

I find that the proposed Project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.

I find that although the proposed Project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed Project, nothing further is required.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
The environmental analysis in this section is patterned after CEQA Guidelines Appendix G. An explanation is provided for all responses. The responses consider the whole action involved, including on- and off-site project level and cumulative, indirect and direct, and short-term construction and long-term operational impacts. The evaluation of potential impacts also identifies the significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each impact question. If applicable, mitigation measures are identified to avoid or reduce the impact to less than significant. There are four possible responses to each question:

1. Potentially Significant Impact. This response is appropriate when there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries, upon completion of the Initial Study, an EIR is required.

2. Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. This response applies when the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less Than Significant Impact". The Lead Agency must describe the mitigation measures and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level.

3. Less than Significant Impact. A less than significant impact is one which is deemed to have little or no adverse effect on the environment. Mitigation measures are, therefore, not necessary, although they may be recommended to further reduce a minor impact.

4. No Impact. These issues were either identified as having no impact on the environment, or they are not relevant to the project.

Existing Visual Setting
The southwestern portion of the Project site, where the proposed Project would be installed, consists of an existing asphalt-covered parking lot used for WVUSD school buses and other vehicles. School buses are parked under canopies which are covered with solar panels. WVUSD administrative offices are located in the northern portion and school bus maintenance facilities are located in the southern and southeastern portion of the Project site. The southwestern portion of the Project site, where the proposed digital billboard would be installed, is asphalt-paved. A sloped strip of land, covered with dry brush and dirt, separates the Project site from the SR 60 corridor. There are no streams, rivers, or designated scenic resources on or near the Project site.

Public views of the Project site are available primarily from motorists traveling along SR 60, and motorists and pedestrians traveling along S. Lemon Avenue and Glenwick Avenue. From SR 60, the proposed digital billboard sign would be visible against a backdrop of existing commercial‐industrial buildings, solar-panel canopies over school-bus parking, and tall light standards. Public views of the Project site from S. Lemon Avenue include the asphalt bus yard, parking canopies, and administrative buildings, while views from Glenwick Avenue are visible, but partially obscured by street trees. Views of the proposed Project from private property viewpoints, like from within businesses or homes (i.e., from windows or backyards), are not evaluated in this MND, because they are not protected under CEQA. Furthermore, the City does not
