City of Diamond Bar Diamond Bar – The City of Diamond Bar has completed the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) to the 2008-2014 Housing Element of the General Plan, and it is now available for public review and comment. The public is invited to submit written comments regarding the environmental findings presented in the DEIR during the 45-day review period. Comments must be received by 5:30pm on July 8, 2013 in order to be considered. Hard copies of the DEIR and its appendices are also available for review at Diamond Bar City Hall (21810 Copley Drive, 2nd Floor, Diamond Bar, CA 91765) as well as at the Diamond Bar Community Library (21810 Copley Drive, 1st Floor, Diamond Bar, CA 91765) during normal business hours. The Housing Element is a component of the City’s General Plan, which is required by California law; sets forth guiding policies for its future development. This plan includes five other elements: Land Use, Circulation, Resource Management, Public Health & Safety, and Public Services & Facilities. The Housing Element provides an overarching statement of City policies and programs to maintain and improve existing housing, and accommodate new housing development needed to meet the City’s fair share of the state’s population growth. Although the implementation of the Housing Element would designate specific sites where multi-family housing could be developed in the future, there is no specific development projects associated with the proposed rezoning effort at this time. For more information, contact Senior Planner Grace Lee by phone 909.839.7032 or email glee@diamondbarca.gov. To view the DEIR, please visit http://www.diamondbarca.gov/housingelement.
