Diamond Bar – The City Council had their regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, March 19. Mayor Herrera, Mayor Pro-Tem Tye, and Council members Chang, Lyons and Tanaka were present. The invocation was given by Monsignor James Loughnane from St. Denis Catholic Church.
A main focus of the meeting was the ordinance to repeal and replace a chapter of the municipal code prohibiting the operation and establishment of medical marijuana dispensaries, which was unanimously approved by the Council. For details on the ordinance, please see the article on this page.
In other Council actions, a public hearing was held on a resolution to approve the subdivision of a 21-unit office condominium, and to modify the exterior façade of an existing two-story professional office building located at 1470 Valley Vista Drive.
