Where is an emergency shelter allowed in Diamond Bar?

Find your lot's zone on the city zoning map, then read its row. Every status below was read from the Diamond Bar Municipal Code use tables (read October 2026). Base zones only. General information, not legal advice — check with the city before you apply.

Diamond Bar's code calls this use “Emergency shelters”. Each row links to the use table it comes from. A zone marked “see note” has a condition in the code, for example upper floors only or a larger lot.

C-1, C-2, C-3.

• Low-barrier navigation centers (I P, standards 22.42.170) and Transitional/supportive housing (I 'P or CUP (6)', residential districts P) are separate rows; not used here. The Emergency shelters row has no standards section listed.
• State law: State law (Gov. Code § 65583, SB 2) requires every city to allow emergency shelters by right in at least one zone.
• Not covered here: Residential (Table 2-3), office (Table 2-5) and special purpose (Table 2-8) tables have no Emergency shelters row, so the use is not listed there (blank-equals-not-allowed rule; see 22.04.020(h), text not in packet).; TCSP and SP districts follow their specific plans.; Table 2-3 does not list the mixed-use (TCSP) and specific plan (SP) districts.. Overlay zones and specific plans can also change the answer.
