Qualifying small businesses are encouraged to apply for a one-time $5,000 grant to help cover essential operating expenses (e.g. rent, utilities and payroll), costs related to reopening safely such the purchase of personal protective equipment ( e.g. masks, gloves, aprons or gowns, goggles and face shields) or products or materials to assist with infection prevention and physical distancing (e.g. plexi-glass guards, signage and floor markers).

Diamond Bar restaurants can apply for a temporary use permit to set up an outdoor overflow space in order to welcome customers again for dine-in service while meeting capacity restrictions and physical distancing guidelines required by the County’s public health order. The permit is free, takes approximately a week to be approved once received by the City, and is valid for as long as the health order’s reduced dine-in capacity remains in effect. Learn more.

In an effort to help Diamond Bar restaurants and retailers with their promotion efforts during the reopening phase, the City is waiving permit fees and suspending restrictions and enforcement of temporary signs for businesses until August 30. Examples of allowable uses of signs are to convey updated business hours, available services, capacity restrictions, or alternative service delivery/dining options. Learn more.
