Diamond Bar General Plan Update, Climate Action Plan, and EIR

Dyett & Bhatia led a multi-disciplinary team in a comprehensive update of the General Plan for the City of Diamond Bar. This was the first update to the City’s General Plan since it was originally adopted in 1995. This update introduced two new elements to the General Plan. The Community Character and Placemaking element focused on urban design and creation of vibrant new spaces, while the Health and Sustainability element will focus on promoting community wellness, meeting the needs of a changing population, and sustaining the city equitably, fiscally, and environmentally. Dyett & Bhatia also prepared a Climate Action Plan and a full program EIR to accompany the new General Plan, which will help streamline the environmental review of future development projects.
