Diamond Bar Municipal Code § 22.19.010 Purpose

The purpose of this chapter is to establish citywide objective design standards (ODS) to ensure consistent, transparent, and measurable review of multifamily and mixed-use residential development projects in accordance with state law. The ODS is intended to streamline project approvals by providing clear verifiable criteria for design that do not require subjective interpretation.

(Ord. No. 04(2026), § 1, 4-7-26)

The objective design standards will apply to construction projects located anywhere in the city involving the development or substantial improvement of any of the following:

(1) Multifamily residential projects, including duplexes, townhouses, or multifamily dwellings.

(2) Mixed-use projects featuring a combination of multifamily residential or other uses.

All such development shall be subject to the Diamond Bar Objective Design Standards for Multifamily and Mixed-Use Development, which is on file with the city clerk, and which is incorporated by reference into this section 22.19.020 as if fully set forth herein.
