SUMMARY:
The property owner, Rita Huang, and applicant, Daphne Shen, are requesting approval of a Vesting Tentative Tract Map (VTTM) and Development Review (DR) for the construction of a new four-story, 36-unit residential condominium development with a gym, clubhouse, open courtyard, and a community rooftop garden on a
0.99-acre undeveloped parcel located between the westerly terminus of Gentle Springs Lane and South Prospectors Road. The Project site is identified in the City’s Housing Element as a site suitable for the development of affordable housing. The applicant proposes designating 3 of the 36 units for sale to lowincome households, and the proposed project is designed to incorporate a twenty percent (20%) density bonus, one incentive/concession, three waivers and reductions of development standards, and reduced parking ratios pursuant to the State Density Bonus Law (SDBL). This project will be the first development within the newly adopted Town Center Specific Plan area and implements the Specific Plan’s land use and housing objectives. The applicant has invoked the new Assembly Bill 130 (AB 130) CEQA exemption for infill housing developments, and the proposed project is therefore subject to an expedited review and decision by the Planning Commission and City Council.
The project was originally noticed for public hearing before the Planning Commission on July 14, 2026, but the public hearing was rescheduled to July 28, 2026 at the applicant’s request.
RECOMMENDATION:
Agenda Item #: 4.1
Meeting Date: July 28, 2026
Conduct a public hearing and adopt the attached Resolution (Attachment 1) recommending that the City Council approve the Tranquil Garden 36-unit residential condominium project (Case No. PL2025-77), consisting of a State Density Bonus Law Application, Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 83259, and Development Review, subject to conditions, making necessary findings pursuant to provisions of Government Code Section 65915, Government Code Section 65863, and Diamond Bar City Code (DBCC) Chapters 22.18, 21.20, and 22.48, and find that the Project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.66.
BACKGROUND:
The applicant is proposing the construction of a 36-unit, four-story residential condominium development ("Tranquil Garden") with a gym, clubhouse, open courtyard, and a community rooftop garden. The Project site is identified in the City’s Housing Element as a site suitable for the development of affordable housing. The applicant proposes designating three (3) of the 36 units for low-income households, thereby qualifying the project for a density bonus, incentives and concessions, waivers or reductions of development standards, and reduced parking ratios under the State Density Bonus Law (SDBL).
The project application was deemed complete on March 12, 2026, thereby vesting the proposed project to the applicable ordinances, policies, standards, and fees in effect as of this date. As a result, although the subject property is currently designated in the Town Center Specific Plan (TCSP), the proposed project remains subject to the Regional Commercial - Housing Element Overlay (C-3-H) development standards since the TCSP was not adopted until April 16, 2026.
The applicant has invoked the new Assembly Bill 130 (AB 130) CEQA exemption for infill housing developments. (Codified as Public Resources Code § 21080.66.) AB 130 is a new statutory CEQA exemption for infill housing development projects that meet specified criteria and which have undergone a consultation process with California Native American tribes traditionally and culturally affiliated with the project site. Projects that satisfy AB 130’s requirements are exempt from CEQA and subject to an expedited review and approval timeline.
Because the proposed project satisfies AB 130 requirements, the project is exempt from CEQA, and the City Council is required to take final action approving or disapproving the proposed project by August 18, 2026.
Site Characteristics
The project site is a relatively flat, undeveloped lot, east of South Prospectors Road and at the end of the culde-sac on Gentle Springs Lane. The Best Western Diamond Bar hotel is located north of the project site and the Fall Creek gated residential condominiums are located south of the project site. Much of the site is covered with annual grasses, brush, and mature trees. There are no protected trees on-site.
The project site is legally described as Lot 3 of Parcel Map No. 22987, and the Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) is 8717-008-189.

Applicable General Plan and Zoning Standards
The project site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Town Center Mixed Use and is identified in the General Plan Housing Element site inventory as a site appropriate for the development of housing within the current Housing Element cycle (2021–2029).
To implement Program H-8 of the City’s Sixth Cycle Housing Element (2021–2029), in early 2025, the City Council adopted an amendment to the Land Use Element of the General Plan to allow a maximum residential density of 30 dwelling units per acre within the Town Center Mixed Use designation area. Concurrently, the City Council amended Title 22 (Development Code) of the Diamond Bar City Code and Official Zoning Map to establish the Housing Element Site (H) Overlay zoning designation and associated development standards for properties within the three mixed-use areas designated in the General Plan (including the project site). This zoning designation generally applies the site planning and development standards applicable to the development of property within the RH-30 (high density residential-30 dwelling units per acre) zoning district to developments within the (H) overlay district containing multifamily dwellings. In April 2026, the City Council adopted the Town Center Specific Plan, which replaced the zoning and development standards applicable to properties within the Town Center area.
On October 20, 2025, the applicant submitted a Vesting Tentative Tract Map and Development Review application for the proposed residential condominium project. The applicant also submitted a SDBL application, seeking a twenty percent (20%) density bonus (6 units), one incentive/concession (relief from undergrounding utilities), the waiver or reduction of certain otherwise applicable development standards (maximum building height, minimum landscaping percentage, and minimum parking dimensions, and reduced parking ratios. Staff determined the initial application was incomplete, and after multiple resubmittals, ultimately determined the application to be complete on March 12, 2026.
Senate Bill 330 (SB 330), codified in Government Code Section 66300 et seq. and commonly referred to as the Housing Crisis Act of 2019, made changes to land use and zoning law to remove barriers and impediments to building new housing in urban areas of the state. To increase certainty in the development application process, SB 330 allows an applicant to vest a proposed project to the applicable ordinances, policies, standards, and fees in effect on the date the applicant submits either a “preliminary application” or a complete formal development application. In this case, the applicant did not submit a preliminary application, and its formal development application was deemed complete on March 12, 2026, thereby vesting the proposed project to the applicable ordinances, policies, standards, and fees in effect as of this date. Since the TCSP had yet been adopted as of the project’s vesting date, the proposed project is subject to the Regional Commercial - Housing Element Overlay (C-3-H) development standards that were in place as of
Agenda Item #: 4.1
Meeting Date: July 28, 2026
March 12, 2026.
Staff has reviewed the project application and submitted plans against the applicable site and development standards and has determined that, with the exception of the identified waivers or reductions of development standards authorized pursuant to the SDBL, the proposed project satisfies, or can be conditioned to satisfy, all applicable City development standards and requirements.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Site Plan
The subject property has a gross lot area of 43,130 square feet and contains the following easements:
• A 10-foot-wide County of Los Angeles sanitary sewer easement that affects approximately 1,345 square feet of the site.
• A 10-foot-wide Walnut Valley Water District water pipe easement that affects approximately 4,915 square feet of the site.
• A 10-foot-wide County of Los Angeles flood control easement that affects approximately 4,949 square feet of the site.
• A portion of the abandoned Old Brea Canyon Road is reserved as a blanket easement for Southern California Edison, affecting approximately 6,965 square feet of the site. • A 30-foot-wide reciprocal drainage easement that affects approximately 506 square feet of the site. • A private driveway and fire lane easement that affects approximately 12,040 square feet of the site. • A flood hazard area that affects approximately 460 square feet of the site.
The applicant is proposing the construction of a 36-unit, four-story residential condominium development with a gym, clubhouse, open courtyard, and a community rooftop garden. Access to the site is provided via Gentle Springs Lane. The South Prospectors Road entrance will be gated for emergency access only, while the existing gate at Gentle Springs Lane will be removed as part of the project. Therefore, primary access to the site will be provided from Gentle Springs Lane via an unsignalized right turn in and left turn out driveway. While majority of the parking for the future residents will be provided by the first-floor parking garage, 13 existing uncovered parking spaces will be relocated along the northeast and southeast side of the building.
The proposed building footprint encroaches into the existing 10-foot-wide County of Los Angeles sanitary sewer easement. The applicant will be required to obtain written authorization from the County of Los Angeles for any proposed encroachment into the easement, including any required easement modification, relocation, or vacation, which has been added as a condition of project approval.
Grading Plan
Agenda Item #: 4.1
Meeting Date: July 28, 2026
Proposed grading activities will include approximately 600 cubic yards of cut and 186 cubic yards of fill for a total of approximately 786 cubic yards of earthwork. Standard dump truck capacities range from 10 to 15 cubic yards, so the proposed amount of import and export would require between 53 to 79 hauls to accommodate the proposed building pad, parking areas, driveway access, and associated site improvements, while also ensuring proper drainage across the site. The proposed grading will be relatively minor.
Subdivision
The proposed project will include the subdivision of air space for 36 residential condominium units.
Floor Plans
The four-story building will have 33,823 square feet of living area and 2,648 square feet of private balcony area allocated between the second, third, and fourth floors. There are a total of eight (8) different floor plan types that will make up the thirty-six (36) residential condominium units, each with its own private balcony as follows:
1. Floor Plan Type B1 is 940 square feet with two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
2. Floor Plan Type B2 is 947 square feet with two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
3. Floor Plan Type B2-B is 947 square feet with two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
4. Floor Plan Type B3 is 968 square feet with two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
5. Floor Plan Type B4 is 786 square feet with two bedrooms and one bathroom.
6. Floor Plan Type B5 is 717 square feet with two bedrooms and one bathroom.
7. Floor Plan Type C1 is 1,172 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
8. Floor Plan Type C2 is 1,259 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The height of the building is 60’-6”, measured from the finished grade to the top of the elevator tower, and 50 feet measured from the finished grade to the top of the residences/main building.
Access and Internal Circulation
As previously discussed, primary vehicular access to the proposed project site will be provided from Gentle Springs Lane, while secondary emergency access will be provided from South Prospectors Road. A 28-footwide, L-shaped private driveway will extend from the terminus of Gentle Springs Lane to South Prospectors Road and will provide access to the first-floor parking garage. The garage entrance will be located at the northeast side of the building adjacent to the main residential lobby and entry area.
The project site is also subject to a Reciprocal Access and Parking Agreement with the properties located at 259 and 245 Gentle Springs Lane, which provides for shared vehicular access and parking between the three properties. Existing access from 259 Gentle Springs Lane will remain unchanged, and the project approval will be conditioned to require the applicant to obtain the other property owners’ approval of an amended Agreement reflecting the proposed changes to circulation and parking.
Agenda Item #: 4.1
Meeting Date: July 28, 2026
Aerial View of Project Site, 259 and 245 Gentle Springs Lane Architecture
The proposed building incorporates a contemporary interpretation of Mediterranean architecture that blends traditional Mediterranean design elements with modern multifamily residential building forms. The architectural style is characterized by smooth stucco wall surfaces, a light-colored exterior palette, decorative parapet features, recessed balconies, and vertically oriented architectural accents that provide visual depth and articulation.
Several architectural features have been incorporated to reduce the perceived scale and mass of the fourstory structure. Most notably, the elevations are articulated through a series of vertically oriented architectural projections that extend from the second floor to the roofline. These projections divide the building into smaller visual components, creating a consistent rhythm along the primary façade plane and preventing the appearance of long, uninterrupted wall planes. Prominent tower elements located at key corners of the building extend above the primary roofline and serve as vertical focal points that frame the structure which provides additional visual interest along the South Prospectors Road and Best Western Plaza frontages.
The base of the building is visually distinct from the upper levels through subtle changes in color, helping to ground the structure while establishing a clear separation between the parking and residential areas. The
Agenda Item #: 4.1
Meeting Date: July 28, 2026
upper floors incorporate a combination of projecting and recessed wall planes that enhance visual interest and create articulation across the façades. Cantilevered balconies placed three feet from the primary façade plane and recessed windows and doors introduce depth and shadow to provide additional articulation to the building envelope.
The roofline incorporates varying parapet heights, tower elements, and trellis features that create an articulated skyline and avoid the appearance of a large flat-roofed structure. The exterior color palette combines light neutral tones with darker accent materials to create contrast, define distinct building components, and emphasize the vertical architectural elements. Collectively, the vertical projections, tower features, recessed balconies, contrasting base treatment, and varied roofline reduce the perceived scale of the building, enhance visual interest, and create a cohesive architectural composition on all elevations.
Although the project is vested to the Regional Commercial - Housing Element Overlay (C-3-H) development standards and is not subject to the Town Center Specific Plan (TCSP), the building's architectural design is nonetheless consistent with the TCSP's design objectives for high-quality multifamily development through its articulated façades, varied massing, pedestrian-oriented design features, roof-wall connection, enhanced corner treatments, durable building materials, and integrated architectural detailing that collectively contribute to an attractive and visually engaging streetscape.

Landscape Plan
There are 14 existing mature trees within the site, none of which are native or protected. According to the existing site plan, 8 of those trees will be removed and 6 will remain. A total of 68 new trees will be planted.
The proposed conceptual landscape plan presents a diverse and well-integrated palette of trees, shrubs, and
Agenda Item #: 4.1
Meeting Date: July 28, 2026
groundcover designed to create visual interest through variations in color, scale, and texture. The landscape design employs a layered planting strategy that combines canopy trees, accent trees, ornamental species, shrubs, and groundcover to soften the bulk of the building, enhance the pedestrian experience, and establish a cohesive visual identity throughout the site. Landscaping is distributed across the ground level, second-floor courtyard, upper-level residential terraces, and rooftop amenity areas, creating a comprehensive vertical landscape program that integrates vegetation into all levels of the proposed development. The design emphasizes perimeter screening, streetscape enhancement, resident amenities, and visual connectivity between the building and surrounding neighborhood while utilizing predominantly low-water-use plant materials consistent the City’s Water Efficient Landscaping Ordinance.
The first-floor features prominent accent trees at the lobby entrance, including two 48-inch box Marina strawberry trees, which establish a welcoming focal point and help define the primary pedestrian entry.
Complementing these focal elements, the eastern and western building frontages are lined with a mix of seven 24-inch box Wilson’s fruitless olive trees, three 24-inch box pineapple guava trees, and two 36-inch box African sumac trees, establishing a structured and visually balanced streetscape edge. Along South Prospectors Road, the landscape plan introduces a continuous planting corridor consisting of canopy trees, accent plantings, shrubs, and groundcover that reinforces the street frontage, enhances screening of surface parking areas, and contributes to an attractive pedestrian environment. Along the western property line, five 15-gallon Nagami kumquat trees are introduced to reinforce the landscape edge and provide continuity with the larger canopy trees.
The second-floor courtyard serves as a central shared open space and incorporates a combination of vertical and ornamental plantings, including three 12-foot brown trunk height King palms, nine 15-gallon Tom Knudsen camellias, and two 15-gallon Marina strawberry trees. These landscape elements are integrated with seating areas, walkways, and outdoor gathering spaces to create an inviting and usable amenity area for residents.
Additional planter beds distributed throughout the courtyard provide seasonal color, textural variation, and shade while helping to visually soften adjacent building elevations.
On the third floor, eight 15-gallon Nagami kumquat trees are arranged along the southern walkway within integrated planter areas that provide greenery adjacent to residential units and common circulation areas.
The fourth floor introduces three 15-gallon Bloodgood Japanese maple trees in similar locations, adding seasonal color and architectural character to the upper-level landscape design. These elevated planting areas contribute to the project's vertical greening strategy by extending landscape amenities beyond the ground plane and enhancing views from both within and outside the development.
At the rooftop level, a 3,678-square-foot community garden and rooftop amenity deck provide a distinctive resident gathering space. The rooftop landscape includes six 15-gallon dwarf lime trees, six 15-gallon dwarf navel orange trees, and eleven 15-gallon dwarf lemon trees arranged throughout raised planters and garden areas. The rooftop design combines edible landscaping, seating areas, circulation pathways, and decorative planting beds to create an active recreational space while contributing to urban greening, visual interest, and resident wellness.
In addition to on-site improvements, the project includes enhancements to the existing parkway landscaping along South Prospectors Road adjacent at the western property line. Existing Crape Myrtle trees will be preserved and incorporated into the overall landscape composition, while surrounding planter areas will be revitalized with new shrubs and groundcover to improve the appearance of the public streetscape.
Collectively, the proposed landscape improvements establish a cohesive design that strengthens the project's visual character, enhances resident amenities, improves the pedestrian environment, and contributes to the overall quality of the surrounding neighborhood. The majority of the plant palette consists of low-water-use species and is required to comply with applicable water-efficient landscape requirements, which will be verified during landscape plan check review.
ANALYSIS:
Review Authority
Agenda Item #: 4.1
Meeting Date: July 28, 2026
Before the City Council approves a Vesting Tentative Tract Map in conjunction with a proposed project, the Planning Commission must first conduct a public hearing to consider the proposed project, and then transmit its recommendations by resolution to the Council. The proposed project requires Planning Commission review and recommendation of the State Density Bonus Law (SDBL) Application, Vesting Tentative Tract Map (VTTM), and Development Review (DR). Applicable provisions of state law that apply to multiple-family housing development projects, which impact the Planning Commission’s and City’s review of the proposed project, are described below.
Housing Accountability Act
Pursuant to DBCC Section 22.18.040(c)(2) and the Housing Accountability Act (Government Code Section 65589.5), the findings set forth in DBCC Section 22.48.040 are not required to be made as a prerequisite to approval of a Development Review application or other entitlements for a housing development project.
Rather, except as otherwise permitted or required by state law, the final City review authority must approve or conditionally approve an application for a housing development project unless it makes written findings for disapproval in accordance with the Housing Accountability Act. Subdivision (j)(1) of Government Code Section 65589.5 states:
“(j)(1) 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 deemed complete, but the local agency proposes to disapprove the project or to impose a condition that the project be developed at a lower density, the local agency shall base its decision regarding the proposed housing development project upon written findings supported by a preponderance of the evidence on the record that both of the following conditions exist:
(A) The housing development project would have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety unless the project is disapproved or approved upon the condition that the project be developed at a lower density. As used in this paragraph, a “specific, adverse impact” means a significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact, based on objective, identified written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date the application was deemed complete.
(B) There is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the adverse impact identified pursuant to paragraph (1), 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.” No Net Loss
In addition, when a proposed development project is located on a “housing element parcel” and proposes fewer residential units in any income category than were projected in the Housing Element sites inventory to be accommodated on the parcel, the final City review authority must also make “No Net Loss” findings pursuant to Government Code Section 65863 and DBCC Section 22.18.050(d)(2).
AB 130 / Permit Streamlining Act
The applicant contends the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Assembly Bill (AB) 130. On June 30, 2025, the State Legislature adopted, and the Governor signed, AB 130, and it took effect immediately. AB 130 made substantial changes to the CEQA review and the Permit Streamlining Act procedures that apply to multiple-family housing development projects. Relevant here, AB 130 created a new statutory CEQA exemption for infill housing development projects meeting specified criteria and which have undergone a consultation process with California Native American tribes that are traditionally and culturally affiliated with the project site. (Codified as Public Resources Code § 21080.66.)
Agenda Item #: 4.1
Meeting Date: July 28, 2026
AB 130 also amended certain provisions in the Permit Streamlining Act to require expedited review of housing development projects to which the new CEQA infill exemption applies. Importantly, Government Code Section 65950 was amended to require a lead agency for a development project (in this case the City) to either approve or disapprove a project that is exempt from CEQA under Public Resources Code Section 21080.66 within 30 days of completion of the tribal consultation required by AB 130, unless this time period is extended by mutual agreement of the applicant and the City. Tribal consultation concluded on June 15, 2026, and the 30- day time period for the City to act would therefore have ended on July 15, 2026. On July 7, 2026, the applicant and City mutually agreed in writing to extend the date by which the City Council must take final action to approve or disapprove the proposed project until and through the end of the August 18, 2026 regular City Council meeting.
The following analysis sets forth the foundation for the Findings of Fact contained in the attached Resolution.
Together, the analysis and findings provide the basis for staff’s recommendation that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the project and all of its components, subject to the conditions set forth in the proposed Resolution.
State Density Bonus Law (Government Code Section 65915 and DBCC Section 22.18.010) The proposed project is subject to the provisions of the State Density Bonus Law (SDBL), as codified in Government Code Sections 65915-65918 and implemented by DBCC Section 22.18.010. The SDBL is intended to encourage the production of housing, including affordable housing, by providing qualifying residential developments with increased development potential and regulatory relief. The law requires local jurisdictions to grant density bonuses, incentives, concessions, waivers and reductions in development standards, and reduced parking ratios to housing developments that provide a specified percentage of affordable units and meet the applicable eligibility requirements.
Density Bonus: The applicant is requesting a density bonus of six (6) additional units, or 20 percent (20%). The maximum allowable residential density (or “base density”) for the Project site pursuant to the MU-TC General Plan Land Use Designation and C-3-H zoning is 30 dwelling units per acre – or 30 units on the 0.99-acre project site. The base project consists of 30 residential condominium units, with the applicant proposing to deed restrict three units for sale to low-income households. By reserving three units for sale to low-income households, representing 10 percent of the base units, the project automatically qualifies for a twenty percent (20%) density bonus pursuant to SDBL, equating to a total of six additional units (30 multiplied by 0.20 equals 6).
Therefore, the maximum number of units permitted under the SDBL is 36.
Concessions/Incentives: In addition to a density bonus, SDBL allows developers to request “concessions” or “incentives” in order to facilitate the construction of the development including the density bonus units. (See Gov’t Code §65915(b)). A concession or incentive may include a reduction in site development standards, modification of zoning code requirements or architectural design requirements, a reduction in required parking spaces, approval of mixed-use zoning (where it does not already exist), or other regulatory incentives or concessions that result in identifiable and actual cost reductions to provide for affordable housing costs. The number of allowed incentives or concessions varies based on the number and affordability level of the affordable units provided and whether they are rental or for-sale units.
The granting of a concession or incentive does not require, in and of itself, a general plan amendment, zone change, study, or other discretionary approval. Rather, the City is required to grant a requested concession or incentive unless it makes a written finding, based upon substantial evidence, that the requested concession or incentive: (1) does not result in identifiable and actual cost savings to the project to provide for the affordable housing costs; (2) would be contrary to state or federal law; or (3) would have a specific adverse impact on public health, safety or on property which is listed on the state Register of Historical Resources and there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate the specific adverse impact without making the project unaffordable to the affordable households [for purposes of this finding, a “specific adverse impact” means “a significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact, based on objective, identified written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date the application was deemed complete”].
In this case, the SDBL entitles the applicant to one concession or incentive in exchange for reserving 3 of
Agenda Item #: 4.1
Meeting Date: July 28, 2026
condominium units (or 10% of the base density) for sale to low-income households. For its one concession/incentive, the applicant is requesting relief from the requirement that would otherwise be imposed pursuant to DBCC Section 22.16.110 to underground on-site electric or communications facilities at the time of development.
According to the applicant, relief from the utility undergrounding requirement is appropriate because it would result in substantial cost savings, would not cause a public health or safety problem because the purpose of the undergrounding requirement is to provide aesthetic benefits, would not result in environmental problems or harm to historical property, and would not be contrary to state or federal law.
Waivers/Reductions: In addition to incentives and concessions, SDBL prohibits the City from applying any development standard to a qualifying density bonus project that would have the effect of physically precluding the construction of the proposed project with the density bonus units and/or the developer’s requested concessions or incentives and allows developers entitled to a density bonus to also request an unlimited number of waivers or reductions of such development standards. (See Gov’t Code §65915(e)). As a result, qualifying projects may be permitted to exceed local development standards when necessary to accommodate the density bonus and associated incentives authorized by State law.
In order to deny a requested waiver or reduction of a particular development standard, the City must make a written finding, based upon substantial evidence, that application of the development standard would not physically preclude the proposed project or that the requested waiver or reduction of the development standard would either (1) be contrary to state or federal law; or (2) have a specific adverse impact on public health, safety or on property which is listed on the state Register of Historical Resources and there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate the specific adverse impact without making the project unaffordable to the affordable households [for purposes of this finding, a “specific adverse impact” means “a significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact, based on objective, identified written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date the application was deemed complete”).
The applicant is requesting the following three waivers and reductions of otherwise applicable development standards pursuant to SDBL: (1) a waiver of the maximum building height permitted under the C-3-H Zone, proposing a height of 60 feet 6 inches (where 35 feet is the maximum allowed); (2) a reduction in the minimum garage parking stall dimensions to 19 feet by 8 feet (where 20 feet by 10 feet is required) and 18 feet by 9 feet for uncovered parking stalls (where 19 feet by 9 feet is required); and (3) a reduction in the minimum landscaping requirement for high-density residential development from 15 percent to 10 percent.
According to the applicant, strict application of these development standards would physically preclude construction of the proposed project at the permitted density of 36 units, and waiving or modifying them would not be contrary to state or federal law and would not cause any environmental or public health or safety problems or harm historically designated property.
Reduced Parking Ratios: If requested by a developer, SDBL prohibits the City from requiring a parking ratio of more than 1.5 onsite parking spaces per bedroom for 2- or 3-bedroom units in a qualifying density bonus project. The applicant has requested application of this SDBL parking ratio for the project. All 36 units in the proposed project are either two- or three-bedroom units; therefore, the total number of required parking spaces per the SDBL is 54. The applicant is proposing a first-floor parking garage with 41 spaces and relocating 13 existing uncovered parking stalls along the northeast and southeast side of the building. There is no applicable requirement governing the type of parking spaces to be provided (garage versus uncovered).
Therefore, the applicant will comply with the required parking for the project.

*Number of required parking spaces is reduced pursuant to SDBL and DBCC Section 22.18.010(g)(3)(a).
SDBL provides the substantive entitlement mechanism that authorizes the increase in density from 30 to 36 units and permits the requested concessions/incentives, development standard waivers/reductions, and reduced parking ratios in exchange for the provision of affordable housing. This statute ensures that the project’s density is both preserved and implementable under State law, thereby facilitating the delivery of housing consistent with legislative intent.
The project approval is conditioned to require the applicant to enter into a regulatory agreement with the City prior to final map approval to ensure the initial and continued affordability of the three low income-restricted dwelling units.
Vesting Tentative Tract Map (DBCC Chapter 21.20.080)
Pursuant to Section 66424 of the Subdivision Map Act, a Tentative Tract Map is required for the subdivision of any units/parcels of improved land for the purpose of sale, lease, or financing. Therefore, a Tentative Tract Map is requested to subdivide the four-story, residential condominium building into airspace for 36 residential condominium units to allow each unit to be sold off and separately owned.
A Vesting Tentative Tract Map provides the Applicant with a vested right to proceed with development in substantial compliance with the ordinances, policies, and standards in effect at the time the vesting map application is approved by City Council. Upon approval of the Vesting Tentative Tract Map and satisfaction of applicable conditions of approval, the Applicant is entitled to rely on those development standards during the subsequent processing of the final map and building permits, subject to limitations established by the Subdivision Map Act and applicable state law.
Several necessary and required conditions of approval for the Vesting Tentative Tract Map are included in the proposed Resolution, including the recordation of City-approved Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) that govern the condominium units prior to final map approval. The applicant will need to satisfy these conditions before a final map may be approved and recorded and/or the proposed project may be developed. Subject to these conditions of approval, Staff believes all prerequisites and findings required for approval of the proposed Vesting Tentative Tract Map pursuant to DBCC Section 21.20.080 and the Subdivision Map Act can be satisfied and made, and these findings have been included in the proposed Resolution.
In-Lieu Park Fee
State law (the “Quimby Act”) and Diamond Bar’s Subdivision Ordinance require the dedication of land or payment of fees for park or recreational purposes as a condition of approval for a tentative map. Because the proposed subdivision contains fewer than 50 dwelling units, the City may only require the payment of an in-lieu fee. Such fees are to be used only for the purpose of developing new or rehabilitating existing park or recreational facilities to serve the proposed subdivision.
DBCC Title 21(Subdivision Ordinance) Section 21.32.040 provides that the amount of the in-lieu fee paid by the applicant is based upon the number and type of dwelling units expected to be developed within the proposed subdivision, and the per-acre fair market value of the land as determined by City staff and approved by the Planning Commission or City Council at the time of approval of the Tentative Tract Map. An applicant may choose to provide an appraisal establishing the fair market value of the property, at its own expense, which the City may accept if found reasonable. To calculate the amount of the in-lieu fee, the peracre fair market value of the property is multiplied by the amount of required park acreage established by the following formula:
X = .005(UP)
Where:
Agenda Item #: 4.1
Meeting Date: July 28, 2026
• X = Required parkland (acres)
• U = Number of dwelling units
• P = 2.1 for multifamily developments containing five (5) or more dwelling units During negotiations for another residential condominium development currently under consideration by the City ("Montefino"), the applicant and City staff have mutually agreed to utilize a fair market land value of $2.8 million per acre for purposes of calculating that project's Quimby obligation. Staff believes that the agreedupon valuation provides a reasonable benchmark for comparable land within Diamond Bar. Applying that valuation to the Tranquil Garden proposal would thus yield a Quimby fee of approximately $1.06 million.
The applicant for Tranquil Garden submitted an appraisal prepared by a licensed real estate appraiser concluding that the project site's fair market value is approximately $1.47 million per acre. Thereafter, by letter dated July 16, 2026 (“Elevated Entitlements letter,” Attachment 2), the applicant requested that the City reduce the project's Quimby in-lieu park fee by accepting the appraisal's lower valuation and considering the project's unique circumstances. The applicant's request is based upon three principal arguments: (1) that the property's fair market value is substantially lower than the City's estimate because of physical site constraints; (2) that the project experienced extraordinary cost increases after the applicant voluntarily delayed processing while the City completed the Town Center Specific Plan; and (3) that the project includes deedrestricted affordable housing units.
Staff has carefully considered both the applicant's appraisal and the July 16, 2026 Elevated Entitlements letter.
Staff does not recommend granting the applicant's request to reduce the Quimby in-lieu fee calculated pursuant to the City's recommended fair market valuation. Specifically, staff does not find that the appraisal or other information submitted by the applicant supports replacing the City's recommended fair market value or reducing the calculated Quimby fee to the extent requested by the applicant.
With respect to valuation, staff does not recommend relying upon the applicant’s appraisal to establish the property's fair market value. While the Elevated Entitlements letter identifies several characteristics of the property—including its irregular configuration, freeway adjacency, easements, constrained access, and limited street visibility—staff does not believe these factors support the substantial reduction in value reflected in the appraisal. Staff is also concerned that the appraisal relies upon comparable sales from jurisdictions with materially different market conditions than those existing in Diamond Bar and that the appraisal methodology does not adequately support the resulting significant downward adjustment in value. Montefino’s appraisal, on the other hand, relied entirely on comparable land sales within Diamond Bar, which staff found to be a reasonable reflection of local prevailing market conditions.
Recommended Discretionary Adjustment
Applying the formula prescribed by Subdivision Ordinance Section 21.32.040, a fair market value of $2.8 million per acre results in a calculated in-lieu park fee of $1,058,400.
Notwithstanding staff's recommendation regarding the property's fair market value, staff believes the applicant has identified several unique project-specific circumstances that warrant separate consideration as a discretionary adjustment to the calculated in-lieu park fee. Unlike the issue with comparable land sales listed in the appraisal, these circumstances do not affect the property's fair market value, but rather support a limited equitable reduction in the amount of the fee imposed.
First, the applicant voluntarily delayed formal processing of the project while the City completed preparation and adoption of the C-3-H/RH-30 zoning designation to meet a Housing Element implementation deadline while the Town Center Specific Plan process was still underway. Although the applicant could have independently pursued a zone change application, the applicant instead agreed to postpone formal processing so that the project could proceed with its broader rezoning effort. During the intervening years, land values, construction costs, financing costs, insurance costs, and other development expenses increased substantially. Staff believes it is appropriate for the City to recognize that the applicant's cooperation advanced an important City planning initiative while exposing the project to significantly greater development
Agenda Item #: 4.1
Meeting Date: July 28, 2026
costs than would likely have been incurred had the project proceeded several years earlier.
Second, the proposed project will provide three deed-restricted low-income ownership units while implementing the City's Housing Element. Although the provision of affordable housing alone would not justify modifying the Quimby fee methodology, staff believes it is an appropriate factor for the City Council to consider in evaluating whether a limited discretionary adjustment is warranted.
Third, although the project contains fewer than fifty dwelling units and therefore does not qualify for a mandatory recreational credit pursuant to Subdivision Ordinance Section 21.32.040(e)(6), it nevertheless provides approximately 9,353 square feet of private recreational amenities, including a fitness room, clubhouse, open courtyard, and rooftop community garden. These amenities will provide meaningful recreational opportunities for future residents while reducing, to some degree, the demand placed upon City park facilities.
Staff emphasizes that these considerations do not support modifying the property's fair market value or the methodology prescribed by the Subdivision Ordinance for calculating the Quimby fee. Rather, staff believes they support a limited discretionary adjustment to the fee that would otherwise be imposed.
Staff has also considered the potential application of Labor Code section 1720(c)(2)(B)(i) and the potential applicability of California’s prevailing wage laws. That section provides that a private development project receiving public subsidies (in this case, a reduction in Quimby fees) exceeding $600,000 may constitute a "public work" subject to California's prevailing wage requirements. While the applicability of that provision depends upon the particular facts and circumstances of a project, staff believes it is prudent to recommend an adjustment that remains below that statutory threshold in order to avoid creating uncertainty regarding the potential application of the prevailing wage laws.
Accordingly, staff recommends that the City Council calculate the Quimby fee using a fair market value of approximately $2.8 million per acre, but reduce the calculated fee by $450,000, which recognizes the project's unique equitable circumstances while remaining below the monetary threshold identified in the Labor Code.
This recommendation is based upon the unique combination of circumstances presented by this project. Those circumstances include: (1) the applicant's voluntary delay in processing the project while the City completed the C-3-H/RH-30 rezoning; (2) the project's role as the first residential implementation project within the Specific Plan area; (3) the substantial increase in development costs incurred during that delay; (4) the provision of three deed-restricted affordable ownership units; and (5) the provision of approximately 9,353 square feet of private recreational amenities that will reduce, to some degree, the recreational demand otherwise placed upon City park facilities.
The recommended discretionary adjustment in the project’s Quimby fee is summarized in the following table:
Fair Market Value $2,800,000
Unadjusted Quimby Fee (X = .005UP) $1,058,400
Recommended Discretionary Adjustment ($ 450,000)
Adjusted Quimby Fee $ 608,400
The recommended adjustment is based upon the totality of these unique facts and should not be construed as modifying the City's methodology for determining fair market value under Subdivision Ordinance Section
21.32.040 or as establishing a generally applicable policy or precedent for future residential subdivisions. These circumstances are collectively unique to this project and are not expected to recur as future Town Center development proceeds under the adopted planning framework and future development impact fee methodology.
Development Review (DBCC Chapter 22.48)
Pursuant to Chapter 22.48 of the DBCC, approval of an application for Development Review (DR) is required for proposed development of new multiple-family dwellings to ensure that development projects comply with all applicable design guidelines and standards, and minimize adverse effects on surrounding properties and the environment. However, pursuant to DBCC Section 22.18.040(c)(2) and the Housing Accountability Act
Agenda Item #: 4.1
Meeting Date: July 28, 2026
(Government Code Section 65589.5), the subjective findings set forth in DBCC Section 22.48.040 are not required to be made as a prerequisite to approval of a Development Review application for a housing development project, and the City must apply applicable, objective General Plan and zoning standards and criteria, including design review standards, in effect at the time that the application for the proposed project was deemed complete.
At the time the application was deemed complete, the City had not adopted objective design standards applicable to the project. Although the Town Center Specific Plan (TCSP) subsequently established objective design standards for future development within the Specific Plan area, those standards were adopted after the project application was deemed complete and therefore cannot be applied to the Project. Accordingly, the City’s review is limited to the objective standards in effect at the time of application completeness, including applicable State Density Bonus Law requirements, all of which the Project satisfies.
Development Standards: The following table compares the proposed project with the proposed City’s development standards for residential development in the Regional Commercial - Housing Element Overlay zone:

*The base density proposed without SDBL is 30 units per acre. Since the applicant is allocating 10% of the 30 units to be restricted for low income, SDBL grants a 20% density increase. Therefore, 20% of 30 is six additional units, or 36 units per acre. **Waiver of maximum height requirements and reduction of landscaping requirements are granted pursuant to SDBL and DBCC Section 22.18, as aforementioned.
Except for those development standards the applicant has requested to be waived or reduced pursuant to the SDBL, the proposed project complies with all objective development and design standards applicable to development subject to the Regional Commercial – Housing Element Overlay zoning.
Town Center Specific Plan Objective Design Standards:Although the project is not required to comply with the Town Center Specific Plan Objective Design standards, as stated previously, the applicant has designed the proposed condominium building to be consistent with the Disciplined Modern objective standards intended to guide future development within the Town Center, as set forth in Section 6.16.5 of the Town Center Specific Plan. The project demonstrates consistency with the following TCSP objective design standards:
• Massing: The proposed building is composed of multiple articulated vertical volumes that break down the overall length and scale of the structure. Projecting tower elements, recessed wall
Agenda Item #: 4.1
Meeting Date: July 28, 2026
planes, balconies, and changes in building height create a layered façade that provides visual depth and avoids long uninterrupted elevations. The building incorporates distinct vertical bays that establish a repetitive architectural rhythm while emphasizing primary building entrances and architectural focal points. The varying parapet heights and rooftop elements further reduce the perceived building mass.
• Base: The ground floor is visually differentiated from the upper residential floors through the use of a distinct architectural base. The base incorporates a different material palette and color, including concrete-like finishes, and provides a strong horizontal transition between the podium level and residential stories above.
• Primary Walls of Upper Floors: The upper residential stories establish clearly defined primary façade planes that comprise the majority of each elevation. Recessed windows, balconies, projecting architectural frames, and accent materials create secondary façade planes that provide additional depth and articulation while maintaining the predominance of the primary wall plane.
The use of contrasting exterior finishes, including smooth stucco and darker accent panels, further emphasizes the building's layered architectural composition. • Roof-Wall Connections: The building incorporates articulated parapets and varying roof heights that terminate each building volume in a cohesive manner. Decorative cornices, parapet caps, and rooftop architectural elements provide a continuous architectural edge that visually integrates the roofline with the building façades rather than creating an abrupt termination. • Roof: The project utilizes a primarily flat roof form consistent with contemporary mixed-use and multifamily development envisioned by the TCSP. Rooftop architectural elements, including parapets and trellis features, provide visual interest while screening rooftop equipment from public view.
• Drainage: Building elevations do not show exposed gutters along the primary façades. Roof drainage systems are integrated into the building design to maintain clean architectural lines consistent with the intent of the TCSP standards.
• Door and Window Openings: The proposed elevations incorporate recessed windows and doors throughout the residential façades, providing shadow lines and architectural depth. Window openings are organized into a consistent and proportional pattern that reinforces the building's repetitive bay system. The regular spacing and alignment of windows contribute to a cohesive architectural composition while avoiding large uninterrupted wall surfaces.
Attached Elements: The project incorporates numerous attached architectural elements, including recessed balconies, projecting balcony frames, awnings, trellises, and architectural surrounds over window and door openings. These elements create additional façade articulation and reinforce the vertical bay composition.

Northeast 3-D Rendering (view from Best Western Hotel)
No Net Loss (Government Code Section 65863 and DBCC Section 22.18.050) A component of preparing the City’s Housing Element is the identification of vacant and underutilized sites suitable for residential development, and an evaluation of the housing development potential of these sites in fulfilling the City’s RHNA. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65863, the City must ensure its Housing Element sites inventory continues to have capacity at all times to accommodate the RHNA by income group throughout the planning period. If a jurisdiction approves a development on a parcel identified in its Housing Element sites inventory with fewer units in an income category than shown in the Housing Element, the City must either make findings that the Housing Element’s remaining sites have sufficient capacity to accommodate the remaining unmet RHNA by each income level, or identify and make available additional adequate sites to accommodate the remaining unmet RHNA for each income category. A jurisdiction may not disapprove a housing development project on the basis that it does not propose as many affordable units as projected for the project site in the Housing Element of if approval of the development would trigger the identification or zoning of additional adequate sites to accommodate the remaining RHNA.
The undeveloped project site (APN 8717-008-189) was identified in the 6th Cycle Housing Element as a Town Center Mixed Use Site to be rezoned from its then existing commercial use and listed the project site as having a realistic capacity to accommodate 7 very low income units, 5 low income units, 5 moderate income units, and 7 above moderate-income units. The proposed project would provide 33 above moderate-income units and 3 low-income units, resulting fewer very low, low, and moderate income units than projected for the site in the Housing Element.
Approval of the proposed project will not prompt the City to identify and make available any additional sites, as the remaining sites identified in the Housing Element are adequate to meet the requirements of Section 65583.2 and to accommodate the City’s remaining share of the unmet RHNA for the planning period.
However, because the proposed project will result in the development of fewer very low, low, and moderate income units than projected for the site in the Housing Element, Government Code section 65863 and DBCC Section 22.18.050 require the final review authority to make a written finding supported by substantial evidence that 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 must include a quantification of the remaining unmet need for the City’s RHNA at each income level and the remaining capacity of sites identified in the Housing Element to accommodate that need by income level.
Agenda Item #: 4.1
Meeting Date: July 28, 2026
At the time the 6th Cycle Housing Element was prepared and adopted, the City’s RHNA was calculated to be 2,521 units, divided into the following categories: 844 very low-income units, 434 lower-income units, 437 moderate-income units, and 806 above moderate-income units. The sites identified in the certified Housing Element were determined adequate to accommodate a total of 2,665 units, including 39 more units than the City’s unmet RHNA in the very low income category, 36 more units than the City’s unmet RHNA in the lower income category, 3 more units than the City’s unmet RHNA for the moderate-income category, and 64 more units than the City’s unmet RHNA for the above-moderate income category. Overall, the sites inventory in the adopted Housing Element reflected a total capacity surplus of 144 units.
Since the beginning of the 6th RHNA cycle, the City has approved or entitled 230 housing units, including 86 very low income units, 103 low income units, 12 moderate income units, and 29 above moderate income units.
After accounting for permitted and entitled units since the beginning of the 6th RHNA cycle, and the 3 low income units and 33 above moderate income units in the proposed project, the City’s total remaining capacity surplus for each income category in excess of its RHNA would be 118 very low income units, 137 low income units, 10 moderate income units, and 119 above moderate income units. Therefore, although the proposed project will result in 7 fewer very low-income, 2 fewer low-income, and 5 fewer moderate-income units than were assumed for the project site in the Housing Element, the remaining sites identified in the Housing Element will still be sufficient to accommodate the City’s total remaining unmet RHNA if the proposed project is approved. The required No Net Loss findings can be made and are included in the proposed Resolution.
Additional Review
The L.A. County Public Works, L.A. County Sanitation District, Spectrum Cable Company, Public Works Department, and Building and Safety Division have reviewed this project, and their comments are included in the attached resolution as conditions of approval.
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING:
On July 2, 2026, and July 17, 2026, public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within a 500-foot radius of the project site. The notice was also published in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune newspaper on July 2, 2026, and July 17, 2026. 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.
PUBLIC COMMENTS RECEIVED:
As of the date of publication of this staff report, staff has received two written public comments regarding the proposed project. One comment was provided by Gonzalez on July 14, 2026, and another comment was provided by Camacho on July 21, 2026. Copies of the comments are included as attachments to this report.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
This Project has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Based on that assessment, Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council determine that the proposed project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to AB 130. (Codified as Public Resources Code § 21080.66.)
AB 130 created a new statutory CEQA exemption for infill housing development projects meeting specified criteria and which have undergone a consultation process with California Native American tribes that are traditionally and culturally affiliated with the project site. (Codified as Public Resources Code § 21080.66.) Among other requirements, the exemption applies to housing development projects that are located within an urbanized area and on a site that is less than 20 acres in size and consistent with the applicable General Plan and zoning designation. The project must also achieve a minimum density of 15 dwelling units per acre and comply with objective development standards and applicable State housing laws, including density bonus
Agenda Item #: 4.1
Meeting Date: July 28, 2026
provisions where applicable. In addition, the site cannot be located within environmentally sensitive or hazardous areas identified by State law, such as wetlands, designated conservation lands, very high fire hazard severity zones (in certain circumstances), hazardous waste sites, or other historic or otherwise protected resource areas listed in the statute.
Based on City staff’s review and the AB 130 CEQA Checklist provided by the applicant on June 23, 2026 (included as Attachment 4), the proposed 36-unit residential condominium development is located within a developed urban area, is consistent with the site’s land use designation and zoning regulations, and complies with applicable objective development standards. The project site is not located within any of the environmentally sensitive or hazardous areas identified in the statute, and no historic resources have been identified on the property. Accordingly, City staff has determined that the Project satisfies the applicable requirements of Assembly Bill 130 and is therefore recommending that the proposed project be found to be exempt from further environmental review under CEQA.
Freeway Proximity Requirements
For projects located within 500 feet of a freeway, AB 130 requires that buildings have a centralized HVAC systems with air intakes facing away from the freeway, provide specified air filtration media that must be replaced at the manufacturer’s designated interval, and not have any balconies facing the freeway. The proposed project is located within 500 feet of the 60 Freeway, but meets (or will be conditioned to meet) all of these requirements.
Tribal Cultural Resources
While AB 130 provides a statutory exemption from further environmental review for qualifying housing development projects, the legislation established its own tribal consultation requirements to ensure that potential impacts to tribal cultural resources are identified and addressed.
As required by AB 130, the City initiated and concluded AB 130 tribal consultation with each tribe that is traditionally and culturally affiliated with the project site and that requested such consultation. Based on tribal consultation, measures have been incorporated into the project’s conditions of approval that are designed to avoid significant impacts to tribal cultural resources.
A summary of AB 130 Tribal Consultation for the Tranquil Garden project is included as Attachment 5.

ATTACHMENT “A”
AB 130 CEQA Checklist
The proposed housing development project complies with all AB 130 eligibility requirements and is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) (Pub. Res. Code § 21000 et seq.), as demonstrated below:
AB 130 CRITERIA PROJECT CONSISTENCY ANALYSIS
Size: The Project site is 20 acres or smaller,
or for “builder’s remedy projects”, five
acres or smaller7.
Consistent. The Project site is .99 of an acre.
Location: The Project is within an
incorporated municipality, or an urban
area as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau.
Consistent. The Project site is located in the City of Diamond Bar, a general law city incorporated on April 18, 1989. The city has also been designated as an urbanized area by the U.S. Census Bureau.
Urban Use: The Project is located on a site
that satisfies any of the following:
(A) Has been previously developed with an
urban use. 8
(B) At least 75 percent of its perimeter of
the site adjoins parcels that are developed
with urban uses.2
(C) At least 75 percent of the area within a
one-quarter mile radius of the site is
developed with urban uses.2
(D) For sites with four sides, at least three
out of four sides are developed with urban
uses and at least two-thirds of the
perimeter of the site adjoins parcels that
are developed with urban uses.2
Consistent. At least 75 percent of the perimeter around the Project site is developed with urban uses. The site is an irregular triangular shape within three sides with access to Gentle Springs Lane. To the southeast, the site is adjacent to condominium housing, the Fall Creek Private Community. Immediately to the northeast of the Project site is a hotel, the Best Western Diamond Bar Hotel & Suites.
West of the site, across from S. Prospect Road is a personal storage facility, CubeSmart. The site is fully surrounded and developed with urban uses.
7 “Builders remedy project”, as defined in paragraph (11) of subdivision (h) of Section 65589.5 of the Government Code, or a project that applied, pursuant to paragraph (5) of subdivision (d) of Section 65589.5 of the Government Code, as it read before January 1, 2025.
8 “Urban uses” means any current or former residential, commercial, public institution, or public park that is surrounded by other urban uses, parking lot or structure, transit or transportation passenger facility, or retail use, or any combination of those uses. Pub. Res. Code § 21080.66 (f)(3).
Consistency: The Project is consistent with
the applicable general plan, zoning
ordinance, and local coastal
program.9,10,11,12
Consistent. The site has a General Plan Land Use Designation as Town Center Mixed Use and is in the Commercial (“C-3”)Zoning District according to the Diamond Bar City GIS Mapping System and is subject to the Housing Element Site (H) Overlay District. The General Plan Town Center Mixed Use designation “allows a mix of uses with an emphasis on community-serving and destination retail, dining, and entertainment uses. Offices and professional services, and residential uses are also permitted…[with] a maximum residential density of 20.0 dwelling units per gross acre (20.0 du/ac).” General Plan, Land Use and Economic Development, p. 2-12.
The H Overlay District provides for the development of multifamily dwellings and applies to all parcels designated on the City’s zoning map. DBMC §22.14.050(a) & (b). Except as otherwise provided, multifamily dwellings within the (H) Overlay District are subject to the development standards for properties located within the RH-30 9 “Local coastal program” means a local government’s (a) land use plans, (b) zoning ordinances, (c) zoning district maps, and (d) with sensitive coastal resources areas, other implementing actions, which when taken together, meet the requirements of, and implement the provisions and policies of, this division at the local level. Pub. Res. Code § 30108.6. 10 A housing development project shall be deemed consistent if substantial evidence would allow a reasonable person to conclude it is consistent. Pub. Res. Code § 21080.66(a)(4)(A). 11 If the zoning and general plan are not consistent with one another, a project shall be deemed consistent with both if the project is consistent with one. Pub. Res. Code § 21080.66(a)(4)(B). 12 The approval of a density bonus, incentives, or concessions, waivers or reductions of development standards, and reduced parking ratios pursuant to Density Bonus Law (Gov. Code § 65915 et seq.) shall not be grounds for determining that the project is inconsistent with the applicable general plan, zoning ordinance, or local coastal program. Pub. Res. Code § 21080.66(a)(4)(C).
Zoning District. DBMC § 22.14.050(d). RH-30 Zoning District development standards require a minimum density of 20 dwelling units per acre and limits the maximum density to 30 du/ac. The Project proposes a total of 30 residential units, prior to the application of any density bonus, consistent with the RH-30 Zoning District’s requirements.
The Project site may yield up to 30 du prior to the application of a twenty percent (20%) density bonus resulting in a total of 36 du.
Despite the inconsistent density limitations provided in the General Plan and H Overlay Zone (20 du/ac vs 30 du/ac), Public Resources Code Section 21080.66(a)(4)(B) states that if the zoning and general plan are not consistent with one another, a project shall be deemed consistent with both if the project is consistent with one. Nor shall the approval of density bonus, incentives, or concessions, waivers or reductions of development standards, and reduced parking ratios pursuant to Density Bonus Law make a project inconsistent.13 Density: The Project will be at least 50
percent of the applicable density
specified:
14 1) For an incorporated city within a
nonmetropolitan county and for a
nonmetropolitan county that has
a micropolitan area: sites allowing
at least 15 units per acre.
2) For unincorporated area in a
nonmetropolitan county not
included in No. 1: Sites allowing
at least 10 units per acre.
3) For suburban jurisdiction: sites
allowing at least 20 units per acre.
4) For a jurisdiction in a
metropolitan county: sites
allowing at least 30 units per acre.
Consistent. The General Plan designation of Town Center Mixed Use allows a maximum residential density of 20.0 dwelling units per gross acre. While the Project Site is in the C-3 Zoning District, it is subject to the (H) Overlay District, which utilizes RH-30 development standards for proposed multifamily dwellings. The RH-30 Zoning District development standards permit multifamily dwelling uses of 20 du/ac and a maximum of 30 du/ac. The Project site is .99 of an acre and proposes a total of 36 units once a density bonus is applied. The Project, therefore, meets and exceeds the minimum applicable density requirements.
Site Conditions: The development is not
located on a site that is any of the
following:
(A) A coastal zone, as specified.15
Consistent.
(A) The Project is not located in a coastal zone.

Tranquil Garden: Assembly Bill 130 (AB 130) Tribal Consultation Summary On June 30, 2025, the State Legislature adopted, and the Governor signed AB 130 and SB 131, which took effect immediately. These two bills made substantial changes to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the Permit Streamlining Act procedures, which further significantly limit the ability of cities to evaluate and disapprove higher density housing development projects.
AB 130 created a new statutory CEQA exemption for infill housing development projects meeting specified criteria (Public Resources Code Section 21080.66) and which have undergone a consultation process with culturally affiliated California Native American tribes. Invocation of AB 130 generally requires a project to be consistent with applicable general plan and zoning ordinances (or qualify for a density bonus and waivers of development standards per the SDBL), achieve a density of at least 15 dwelling units per acre, be located on a site that is no more than 20 acres in size, is outside specified environmentally sensitive areas, and meets certain design criteria if located within 500 feet of a freeway.
The applicant invoked the new AB 130 CEQA exemption by way of their SB 330 preliminary application dated October 17, 2025, which was submitted concurrently with the overall project application on October 20, 2025. The City deemed the project application complete on March 12, 2026, thereby initiating the AB 130 tribal consultation process. On March 24, 2026, the City provided each Native American tribe that was traditionally and culturally affiliated with the project site with a formal invitation to consult on the proposed project. The invitation, which was provided by certified mail and email, notified each tribe that it had 60 days until May 23, 2026, to request consultation regarding the proposed project.
To date, only two responses have been received by the City requesting to consult on the project. Table 1 summarizes the results of the AB 130 tribal consultation process for the proposed Tranquil Garden project.

the tribe.
May 11, 2026
Follow-up email from the City to Ms. Salas and
Mr. Salas asking for an update to the consultation
email sent on April 16, 2026.
May 21, 2026
Email from Ms. Salas requesting that tribal
consultation be conducted via email rather than
through a virtual or in-person meeting. Ms. Salas
also indicated that a virtual meeting had been
scheduled for May 26, 2026; however, the City
had no record of such a meeting on calendar. The
City subsequently sent a follow-up email to
confirm whether the May 26 meeting pertained to
the Tranquil Garden project or another project.
May 28, 2026
Email from Ms. Salas acknowledging that her
previous email regarding a May 26, 2026, meeting
had not been successfully sent. Ms. Salas
reiterated the Kizh Nation’s request to conduct
tribal consultation via email, and the City agreed
to proceed with consultation via email.
May 29, 2026
Email from Ms. Salas requesting clarification
regarding the proposed mitigation measures.
Because the City's primary points of contact were
out of the office that day, the City was unable to
provide an immediate response. Accordingly, the
City treated the May 29 correspondence from the
Kizh Nation as an implied request to extend the
tribal consultation period by 15 days pursuant to
AB 130, allowing the parties additional time to
finalize the proposed mitigation measures. In light
of the extension, consultation was set to conclude
on June 15, 2026.
4925-9084-1787, v. 1
June 2, 2026
Email from Sophia Pina, on behalf of the Kizh
Nation, with the proposed mitigation measures to
be included as conditions of approval for the
project.
June 4, 2026
Email from the City to Ms. Salas and Ms. Pina
requesting the applicant’s participation in tribal
consultation and permission to review the tribe’s
mitigation measures. City also provides
information regarding the proposed mitigation
measures under AB 130 should Kizh Nation deny
applicant participation. The standard AB 130
mitigation measures are also listed out in the
email for the tribe to acknowledge.
June 8, 2026
Email from Ms. Pina to the City denying the City’s
request to allow the applicant to participate. Ms.
Pina also acknowledges the date of consultation
conclusion and when the mitigation measures
shall be agreed by.
June 9, 2026
Email from the City to Ms. Pina acknowledging the
email denying applicant participation in tribal
consultation. In that email, the City reiterated that,
pursuant to AB 130, the applicant must agree to
any proposed mitigation measures that deviate
from the standard AB 130 measures. Otherwise,
the standard AB 130 measures will be
incorporated.
June 15, 2026
No further correspondence was received by the
City from Ms. Salas or Ms. Pina on behalf of the
Kizh Nation regarding the applicant’s participation
in tribal consultation pursuant to AB 130.
Therefore, AB 130 tribal consultation formally
concluded and the City incorporated the standard
4925-9084-1787, v. 1
AB 130 measures for the Gabrieleño Band of
Mission Indians – Kizh Nation.

Dear Planning Commission Members,
I am a nearby resident living off Golden Springs Drive near the Gentle Springs/Palomino and South Prospectors area, and I am writing regarding the proposed Tranquil Garden Residential Condominium Project.
My husband and I moved to Diamond Bar in 2009 as a young family of three and were fortunate to be able to buy a home here. Today, we are a family of five, and our children have grown up in Diamond Bar schools and in this community that we love.
Because of that experience, I understand that many young families today are priced out of Diamond Bar and may never have the opportunity we had. I support creating additional homeownership opportunities and starter homes so that working people, especially families with children, can have the same opportunity we had to build a life in Diamond Bar, support our local businesses, and help refill our schools.
That said, I do not believe this proposal gets the balance quite right.

2 I support building housing at this location, but 36 units on less than one acre feels like too much for this particular site. I believe a smaller project, perhaps closer to 26 units, would still provide meaningful homeownership opportunities while being more compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and reducing traffic, parking, and emergency access concerns.
I also have concerns that the project receives six additional units through the State Density Bonus process while only providing three low-income units. If the community is being asked to support additional density and development concessions, I encourage the City and developer to consider increasing the affordable housing component to six lowincome units instead of three.
I understand the developer wants to make money, and I do not object to that. However, a smaller project may ultimately create a better product for buyers, with less crowding, improved traffic conditions, and homes that retain stronger long-term value and desirability for the families who live there.
Finally, traffic and safety improvements need to be part of this project approval. I already avoid the Gentle Springs/Palomino Drive, and Diamond Bar Boulevard area during busy times because traffic can already be horrible. Adding dozens of additional vehicles entering and exiting through a single access point raises concerns about congestion and safety.
I respectfully ask the City to evaluate:
Dedicated left-turn lanes and protected left-turn signals or other intersection improvements if warranted by the traffic study;
A prohibition on U-turns near the project entrance and surrounding intersections; and
Additional traffic mitigation measures to protect existing residents and improve circulation.
I am particularly concerned about emergency access and evacuation. In the event of a wildfire, flood, or other emergency, residents need to be able to safely and quickly leave the area. The City’s review should carefully consider how additional traffic from this project could affect emergency evacuation routes and response times.
Diamond Bar can and should grow while still protecting the neighborhoods that already exist. I believe this project can be part of the solution if we can get the density, affordability, and traffic impacts right.
Thank you for your time and kind consideration.
Sincerely,
Sandra Pérez González

Dear Chair and Members of the Planning Commission,
I am a Diamond Bar resident who lives near the proposed Tranquil Garden Condominium Project. I appreciate the investment being made in our community and generally support thoughtful residential development that adds housing while also improving the surrounding neighborhood.
As the Commission reviews this project, I respectfully ask that the City and the developer evaluate opportunities to improve pedestrian connectivity from South Prospectors Road to the future Diamond Bar Town Center and the existing commercial area anchored by Sprouts.
Throughout the public workshops and community meetings for the Town Center, one of the recurring themes from residents was the desire for a more walkable and connected downtown. This project is located in an important area where a future pedestrian connection could help residents from the Prospectors neighborhood safely walk to grocery stores, restaurants, and other nearby services.
I understand that a direct connection may require coordination with adjacent property owners and may not be immediately feasible. However, I ask that the City consider requiring or preserving space for a future public walkway or pedestrian easement as part of this project. At a minimum, the project should be designed so that a future connection is not blocked as the Town Center develops.

2 A pedestrian connection from South Prospectors Road would improve walkability, reduce short vehicle trips, encourage safer access to nearby businesses, and help advance the City’s long-term vision for a connected and pedestrian-friendly Town Center.
I respectfully ask that City staff evaluate this issue and report on the feasibility of incorporating, or preserving, a future pedestrian connection from South Prospectors Road to the Town Center and the Sprouts shopping center.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Re: Proposed Housing Development Project “Tranquil Gardens” To: [email protected];
Cc: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected];
Dear Diamond Bar Planning Commission,
The California Housing Defense Fund (CalHDF) submits this letter to remind the City of its obligation to abide by all relevant state laws when evaluating the proposed 36-unit housing development project “Tranquil Gardens” located between the westerly terminus of Gentle Springs Lane and South Prospectors Road, which includes 3 low-income units. These laws include the Housing Accountability Act (HAA), the Density Bonus Law (DBL), and AB 130.
The HAA provides the project legal protections. It requires approval of zoning and general plan compliant housing development projects unless findings can be made regarding specific, objective, written health and safety hazards. (Gov. Code, § 65589.5, subd. (j).) The HAA also bars cities from imposing conditions on the approval of such projects that would reduce the project’s density unless, again, such written findings are made. (Ibid.) As a development with at least two-thirds of its area devoted to residential uses, the project falls within the HAA’s ambit, and it complies with local zoning code and the City’s general plan.
Increased density, concessions, and waivers that a project is entitled to under the DBL (Gov.
Code, § 65915) do not render the project noncompliant with the zoning code or general plan, for purposes of the HAA (Gov. Code, § 65589.5, subd. (j)(3)). The HAA’s protections therefore apply, and the City may not reject the project except based on health and safety standards, as outlined above. Furthermore, if the City rejects the project or impairs its feasibility, it must conduct “a thorough analysis of the economic, social, and environmental effects of the action.” (Id. at subd. (b).)
2201 Broadway, PH1, Oakland, CA 94612
www.calhdf.org
CalHDF also writes to emphasize that the DBL offers the proposed development certain protections. The City must respect these protections. In addition to granting the increase in residential units allowed by the DBL, the City must not deny the project the proposed waivers and concessions with respect to undergrounding utilities, maximum building height, minimum landscaping percentage, minimum parking dimensions, and reduced parking ratios. If the City wishes to deny requested waivers, Government Code section 65915, subdivision (e)(1) requires findings that the waivers would have a specific, adverse impact upon health or safety, and for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact. If the City wishes to deny requested concessions, Government Code section 65915, subdivision (d)(1) requires findings that the concessions would not result in identifiable and actual cost reductions, that the concessions would have a specific, adverse impact on public health or safety, or that the concessions are contrary to state or federal law. The City, if it makes any such findings, bears the burden of proof. (Gov.
Code, § 65915, subd. (d)(4).) Of note, the DBL specifically allows for a reduction in required accessory parking in addition to the allowable waivers and concessions. (Id. at subd. (p).) Additionally, the California Court of Appeal has ruled that when an applicant has requested one or more waivers and/or concessions pursuant to the DBL, the City “may not apply any development standard that would physically preclude construction of that project as designed, even if the building includes ‘amenities’ beyond the bare minimum of building components.” (Bankers Hill150 v. City of San Diego (2022) 74 Cal.App.5th 755, 775.) Furthermore, the project is eligible for a statutory exemption from CEQA pursuant to AB 130. (Pub. Res. Code, § 21080.66.) Caselaw from the California Court of Appeal affirms that local governments err, and may be sued, when they improperly refuse to grant a project a CEQA exemption or streamlined CEQA review to which it is entitled. (Hilltop Group, Inc. v. County of San Diego (2024) 99 Cal.App.5th 890, 911.)
As you are well aware, California remains in the throes of a statewide crisis-level housing shortage. New housing such as this is a public benefit: by providing affordable housing, it will mitigate the state’s homelessness crisis; it will increase the city’s tax base; it will bring new customers to local businesses; and it will reduce displacement of existing residents by reducing competition for existing housing. While no one project will solve the statewide housing crisis, the proposed development is a step in the right direction. CalHDF urges the City to approve it, consistent with its obligations under state law.

Agenda Item #: 9.1
Meeting Date: September 1, 2026
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Ryan McLean, City Manager
SUBJECT: League of California Cities Resolution at the 2026 Annual General Assembly.
STRATEGIC GOAL: Open, Engaged and Responsive Government RECOMMENDATION:
Provide direction to the City's Delegate on the proposed Resolution to be considered at the League of California Cities General Assembly Meeting.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The League of California Cities (Cal Cities) will be meeting in Anaheim for their Annual Conference and Expo from September 23-25, 2026. Council Member Andrew Chou is the City's Delegate and Council Member Teng is the Alternate Delegate. Council Member Chou will be attending the conference. As the City's Delegate, Council Member Chou will have the opportunity to vote on matters presented at the General Assembly Meeting during the conference.
Sixty days before the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Cal Cities members may submit resolutions on issues of importance to cities. This year, Cal Cities received one resolution by the July 25, 2026, deadline. The Resolution being presented to the General Assembly for consideration is:
A Resolution of the General Assembly of the League of California Cities calling for a working group to consider a State Constitutional Amendment or other form of initiative to ensure final local authority over housing and land use decisions. The proposal was submitted for consideration by the City of Murrieta.
A copy of the Resolution packet is included as Attachment 1. It is recommended that the Council discuss and provide direction on the Resolution so that Council Member Chou can appropriately represent the City's position at the General Assembly Meeting.
ANALYSIS:
This Resolution is sponsored by the City of Murrieta, and letters of concurrence were submitted by the cities of Banning, Calimesa, Canyon Lake, Moreno Valley, Norco, Torrance; Crystal Ruiz, Mayor, City of San Jacinto;
Agenda Item #: 9.1
Meeting Date: September 1, 2026
Jessica Alexander, Mayor, City of Temecula.
The Resolution states that Cal Cities will:
1. Support the development and advancement of a state constitutional amendment or legislative, policy, or ballot-based strategy that restores and strengthens local authority over housing and land use matters, including general plans, housing elements, zoning, density, design and development standards, project siting, and the approval or denial of housing development applications. Pursuant to the resolution, the strategy should preserve the state’s authority to set broad, statewide housing goals and enforce civil rights, fair housing, building safety, and environmental standards while protecting local control by preventing the state from compelling the approval of developments that conflict with local requirements, override local zoning or density standards, or overturn local land use decisions where a city has planned for and maintained sufficient capacity to meet its housing obligations.
2. Consider establishing a statewide working group or other appropriate committee(s) to evaluate and develop a proposed constitutional amendment or other legislative, policy, or ballot-based strategies to restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land use matters. The resolution states:
“conducting legal, fiscal, and policy analyses; engaging cities and other stakeholders; and building a statewide coalition of proponent supporters in preparation for the November 2030 General Election, or within another reasonable time period.”
CalCities staff analysis indicates that revising the state constitution via ballot initiative would likely cost proponents up to $100 million for the full election cycle.
While not specifically a legislative matter, the proposed Resolution most closely aligns with Item 1) a) of the Diamond Bar Legislative Platform, which states:
"Support any legislation that protects local control over matters of governance and funding of public services and infrastructure and oppose any legislation that reduces such authority.” PREPARED BY:

RE: Cal Cities 2026 Resolution Packet
Sixty days before the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Cal Cities members may submit resolutions on issues of importance to cities. This year, Cal Cities received one resolution by the July 25 deadline.
The attached packet contains the proposed resolution, background information, supporting letters from cities and city officials, and an analysis of the resolution by Cal Cities. The packet includes detailed information on the resolution process and the next steps for the resolution.
We encourage each city council to consider the resolution and determine a position so your voting delegate can represent your city’s position on the resolution.
Voting Delegates: City councils must appoint a voting delegate to vote during the General Assembly. Each city may also appoint up to two alternate delegates. If your city has not already done so, please appoint your voting delegate by Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2026. The voting delegate packet contains more information.
The 2026 General Assembly will be held Friday, Sept. 25, at 8:30 a.m. in the Anaheim Convention Center during the Annual Conference and Expo.
For questions about resolutions, voting delegates, or the General Assembly, please contact Zach Seals.

Referred to: Housing, Community, and Economic Development Policy Committee WHEREAS, California cities have historically been responsible for adopting general plans and zoning regulations, reviewing housing development proposals, and providing or coordinating the streets, water, wastewater, public safety, parks, transportation, and other infrastructure and services necessary to support responsible, environmentally sound, and well-planned residential growth; and
WHEREAS, the League of California Cities is dedicated to protecting and expanding local control for municipalities across the state to ensure their orderly growth and development; and
WHEREAS, the League of California Cities recognizes that local zoning is a primary function of cities and an essential component of home rule, and that a city’s general plan should guide its land use planning and strategic decision-making free from pre-emption by the state; and
WHEREAS, increasingly prescriptive statewide housing mandates and development approval requirements can override locally adopted plans, zoning standards, and public review procedures without adequately accounting for differences that exist in each unique jurisdiction in infrastructure capacity, water availability, wildfire and evacuation risks, environmental constraints, fiscal impacts, public service needs, and community priorities; and
WHEREAS, California’s housing goals can be more effectively advanced through state funding, streamlined environmental requirements, and voluntary partnerships that support housing production while preserving the authority of locally elected officials to determine how and where housing is best planned and approved; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the General Assembly of the League of California Cities, assembled during the Annual Conference in Anaheim, California, on September 25, 2026, that the League of California Cities support the development and advancement of a state constitutional amendment or other legislative, policy, or ballotbased strategies that restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land use matters within municipal boundaries, including general plans, housing elements, zoning, density, design and development standards, project siting, and the approval or denial of housing development applications; and

2026 Resolution Packet
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that any constitutional amendment or alternative strategy should preserve the State’s authority to establish broad statewide housing goals and enforce constitutional and civil rights, fair housing requirements, building and life-safety standards, and generally applicable environmental protections, while protecting cities from state actions that compel, through funding conditions or state law, the approval of housing developments that are inconsistent with locally adopted requirements; override local zoning or density standards; or invalidate locally adopted housing or land use decisions when a city has planned in good faith to accommodate its regional housing needs allocation and maintains adequate capacity for housing at all income levels; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the League of California Cities consider establishing a statewide working group or other appropriate committee(s) to evaluate and develop a proposed constitutional amendment or other legislative, policy, or ballot-based strategies to restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land use matters including but limited to: conducting appropriate legal, fiscal, and policy analyses; engaging cities and other stakeholders; and building a statewide coalition of proponent supporters in preparation for; the November 2030 General Election, or within another reasonable time frame as determined by the working group.

Background Information for Resolution
Source: City of Murrieta
Background:
California cities are responsible for planning residential growth, adopting general plans and zoning regulations, reviewing development proposals, and providing or coordinating the infrastructure and public services necessary to support new housing. Since 2010, the State has enacted more than 500 housing-related laws that have increasingly shifted housing and land use authority away from local governments. These laws have expanded by-right development, limited locally adopted standards and review processes, and established enforcement mechanisms, including the builder’s remedy, that may override local plans and zoning. Although these measures are frequently presented as solutions to housing affordability, many increase development capacity or restrict local review without delivering the meaningful production of housing needed to address the housing crisis.
At the same time, the State has continued to prioritize increased development capacity without adequately accounting for the infrastructure, public services, economic realities, and safety measures necessary to support housing growth.
State mandates often fail to reflect local conditions, including roadway and utility capacity, water availability, wildfire exposure, environmental limitations, fiscal impacts, and the availability of essential services. Cities are consequently required to accommodate additional housing while receiving no funding or assistance to address the resulting infrastructure and service demands.
Local elected officials are directly accountable to the residents who experience the effects of development decisions and are responsible for balancing housing production with infrastructure capacity, public safety, environmental protection, fiscal sustainability, and community needs. Cities of all types in California have been grappling with this dynamic, ranging from urban to rural, coastal to inland, small to large, northern to southern, voicing concerns to legislative representatives with minimal responsiveness. This is an issue of statewide concern that needs the strength and diversity of the League of California Cities to pursue a long-term solution.
The proposed resolution directs the League of California Cities to establish a statewide working group to evaluate a constitutional amendment or other legislative, policy, or ballot-based strategies to restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land use decisions. The working group would be tasked with developing a more balanced framework that preserves the State’s role in establishing broad housing goals and enforcing constitutional, civil rights, fair housing, building, life-safety, and environmental requirements, while restoring meaningful local authority to allow cities to determine how statewide housing 9
2026 Resolution Packet
objectives should be implemented in a manner that reflects local conditions and community priorities while continuing to support responsible housing production.
As the primary statewide organization representing California cities, the League is uniquely positioned to lead this effort. Its established policy, legal, legislative, communications, and advocacy networks enable it to convene municipalities, evaluate potential strategies, conduct legal and fiscal analyses, build consensus, engage stakeholders, and coordinate with statewide decision-makers. League leadership would help ensure that any recommendation reflects the collective interests of California municipalities and would provide the credibility, organizational capacity, and statewide reach necessary to advance a viable strategy.
