Document Description
The applicants request approval to install and operate a dual-faced digital LED billboard on the Walnut Valley Unified School District (WVUSD) property at 880 South Lemon Avenue, Diamond Bar, immediately north of SR-60. The sign would be placed within an approximately 100-square-foot base area at the southwest corner of the 6.08-acre parcel, occupying roughly 1,500 square feet of airspace above the base. The proposed structure would be approximately 97 feet in total height, consisting of a 90-foot sign with up to 7 feet of decorative architectural features. Each sign face would measure 14 feet high by 48 feet wide and display static images that change every eight seconds. Project work includes foundation excavation, installation of the monopole and superstructure, underground electrical trenching to connect to WVUSD or SCE service, removal of two pine trees along South Lemon Avenue with replacement planting of two 24-inch box crape myrtles, and minor landscape enhancements along the SR-60 frontage.
