Parkway Trees: Growingthe Urban ForestThe City of La Habra’s parkway tree program provides treeplanting and trimming services to La Habra residents. Onlycertain trees that meet the City’s urban forest requirementsare able to become parkway trees. Palm trees, for example, donot meet these requirements and are not allowed to beplanted in the City parkway. Once trees are planted, they arewatered for three months by the City’s tree contractor, WestCoast Arborists. After three months, residents are required towater the trees.

There are 37 ‘tree districts’ within La Habra, and eachdistrict’s parkway trees are trimmed every four years. Thetrimming is done only for safety purposes to protect

vehicular and foot traffic. Residents may only trim or removetheir parkway tree with: 1) authorization by the La HabraParks Division; and 2) proof of $1 million liability insurancefrom the trimming company. Unfortunately, residents whoremove or trim a tree without authorization that results intree death, will be charged the cost to replace the tree.

New Water Qual i t yRules for L andDevelopmentLand development can change the way rainwater runoffdrains from a property, having the potential to contributepollutants to waterways. On August 17th, 2011, new stateregulations took effect that require local governments inOrange County to ensure that land development projectsincorporate Low Impact Development best managementpractices (BMPs) into project design.

Low Impact Development — known by its acronym “LID”— is a stormwater management strategy that emphasizeswater conservation and use of existing site features to preventwater runoff. LID design seeks to more closely mimic naturalwater flow patterns of undeveloped sites. In response to thesenew regulations, the County of Orange, Orange CountyFlood Control District and the cities of Orange County haveprepared a 2011 Model Water Quality Management Plan toassist with development designs.

Ideally, LID projects will retain stormwater on site and allowit to infiltrate into the ground. The benefits of LID include:

• An opportunity for recharging the groundwater basin(where applicable)

• Water conservation through use of rainwater forirrigation

• Reduction of stormwater/urban runoff• Reduction of erosion downstream• Improvement of community aesthetics

There are many creative ways developers and projectdesigners can comply with LID requirements. Categories ofLID BMPs included in new development or redevelopmentprojects may include:

• Infiltration (e.g. permeable pavement/pavers, vegetatedswale*)

• Harvest and use (e.g. cisterns and other onsite storage forirrigation)

• Evapotranspiration (e.g. ponds and vegetation)• Biotreatment (e.g. vegetated swale*)• Regional controls (e.g. use of established large-scale

regional infiltration)

Please check with the City about LID if your developmentproject will need to comply with all rules and regulationsbefore beginning a development project. For moreinformation on which projects would be subject to the newLID regulations, please visit the OCWatersheds atwww.ocwatersheds.com/WQMP.aspx.

*A vegetated swale is a landscaped area that collects water runoffand allows it to percolate into the ground or evaporate. Vegetatedswales can include both biotreatment and some infiltration.

State Dismant les RedevelopmentOn December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court ruledon a lawsuit involving a bill passed by the Legislature (AB X126) that eliminated redevelopment in California. EffectiveFebruary 1, 2012, all redevelopment agencies, including theLa Habra Redevelopment Agency, were required to ceaseoperations and transfer the affairs to a Successor Agency forwinding down. The La Habra City Council opted to serve asthe Successor Agency for La Habra.

For the past 37 years, redevelopment has been a valuable toolfor the City of La Habra to improve our quality of life, createjobs, spur economic development and reduce blight.Redevelopment has been responsible for many projects inLa Habra that have greatly benefitted our community.

The La Habra Marketplace at the corner of Beach Blvd. andImperial Hwy. was created through redevelopment after theclosure of Fashion Square. Kmart’s closure on Imperial Hwy.opened the door for the development of Imperial Promenade,another redevelopment project. The Redevelopment Agencyhad also been working on improvements to the corner ofHarbor Blvd. and Imperial Hwy.

In addition, public facilities, including the CommunityCenter, our Child Development Center, and improvementsalong La Habra Blvd., all were constructed and enhancedwith redevelopment. The City is presently working throughthe myriad issues left in the wake of the sudden and chaoticdissolution of this Agency and its work. For information orquestions on redevelopment, please contact Linda PadillaSmyth at 562-905-9724.

Chamber Membersh ipDoes Make a Di f ference —The Shapiro Repor tAdvocates of chambers of commerce have long believed thatwhen a company is active in its local chamber, it is doing theright thing not only for the community, but for its ownsuccess as well. A study commissioned by the AmericanChamber of Commerce Executives with support from SmallBusiness Network, Inc., determined the real value tocompanies in terms of consumer outcomes of joining andbeing active in their local chamber of commerce. Doconsumers really support businesses because they arechamber members?

Data for the study came from a scientific web-based survey of2,000 adults nationwide. The respondents were randomlyassigned to different groups at several points during thesurvey. Each group reads something slightly different — likea description of a company that changes only a little for eachgroup — but then everyone is asked the same questionsthereafter, regardless of which company description they justread.

� Most consumers (59%) think that being active in thelocal chamber of commerce is an effective businessstrategy overall. It is 29% more effective, however, forcommunicating to consumers that a company uses goodbusiness practices and 26% more effective forcommunicating that a business is reputable.

� If a company shows that it is highly involved in its localchamber (e.g., sits on the chamber board), consumers are12% more likely to think that its products stack upbetter against its competition.

� When a consumer thinks that a company’s productsstack up better against the competition because thecompany is highly involved in its local chamber ofcommerce, it is because he or she infers that thecompany is trustworthy, involved in the community, andis an industry leader.

� When consumers know that a restaurant franchise is amember of the chamber of commerce, they are 40%more likely to eat at the franchise in the next fewmonths.

� When consumers know that an insurance company is amember of the chamber of commerce, they are 43%more likely to consider buying insurance from it.

� When consumers know that a small business is amember of the chamber of commerce, they are 44%more likely to think favorably of it and 63% more likelyto purchase goods or services from the company in thefuture.

The Shapiro report is available via e-mail upon request, at nocharge by contacting Mark Sturdevant [email protected].

Joining the Chamber is easy and rewarding. Call for details562-697-1704 or visit www.lahabrachamber.com. TheLa Habra Area Chamber of Commerce is located at 321 E.La Habra Blvd., La Habra, CA 90631.
