CRA ITEM ( X ) COUNCIL ITEM ( ) MEETING DATE: December 11, 2003.
FUNDING REQUIRED: ( ) NO FUNDING REQUIRED ( X )
SUBJECT: Agreement for Land Swap with Miguel's Jr. Restaurants
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the City manager to execute an agreement
With Miguel's Jr. Restaurants to trade property at 22193
Barton Road and 22181 Barton Road.
Background:
At their October 23, 2003 meeting, the City Redevelopment Agency authorized staff to
negotiate an agreement with Miguel's Jr. Restaurants to trade property at 22193 and
22181 Barton Road. The Miguel's restaurant chain is interested in constructing a new
stand alone restaurant to replace their existing facility. Available sites along Barton
Road consist of narrow deep lots unsuitable for commercial development. City staff has
discussed swapping property with Miguel's to create a usable lot. The proposed land
swap will result in the creation of two new lots of equal size. Miguel's will receive the
parcel fronting Barton Road while the CRA will retain the rear parcel. The agreement
includes provisions for reciprocal parking and access easements to the rear parcel.
Staff is in the process of finalizing the agreement that will be provided prior to the
Council meeting. Under the agreement, Miguel's will be responsible for all costs
associated with the land swap including those associated with a lot line adjustment and
all escrow costs. They will guarantee development of a restaurant within 18 months of
execution of the agreement.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Redevelopment Agency Board direct staff to execute
the attached agreement with Miguel's Jr. Restaurants to swap property at 22193 and
22181 Barton Road.

COUNCIL REPORTS
Councilm ember Hi Ike y,reported that the new Inland News Broadcast that is on at 10:00 p.m.
every night covers San Bernardino County. He feels that it is an amazing show of a
combination of national and mostly local news, he has really enjoyed it. He also reported
Council Minutes
November 13,2003
Page 3
that there is a local radio show 590 am. Between the two, there is a lot of local news, that
we have never had before. He along with City Manager Schwab and Wayne Youngmen
attended the Crime Prevention Committee and would like the City and the Crime Prevention
Committee to consider a speed watch program. Reche Canyon is closed, the traffic is
coming through Grand Terrace and because the 215 widening has been delayed until 2008
or 2009,we are going to get a lot of traffic on our streets and it seems timely to do something
about traffic watch which will allow people in Grand Terrace to either document or record
where the volume of traffic is. He appreciates staffs interest and believes that it will come
back to the Crime Prevention committee at their next meeting. He won first place in the
cooking contest at the Country Fair and he brought cookies in to share.
Councilmember Larkin, thanked City Staff and all of the organizations for putting on a
successful Halloween Haunt. He reported that the Country Fair was successful and had a
good turn out even with questionable weather. He took a walk down to look out point a few
weeks ago and noticed that there was a house on fire on the corner of Arliss&Vivienda. He
suggested setting up some type of an emergency relief fund for Grand Terrace residents who
have suffered some type of catastrophe or for those who did and have moved to Grand
Terrace and are in need of assistance. This would be a way of taking care of our own
community and helping out our neighbors. He will approach the Lions club and suggested
doing the same with the Women's Club. He feels that Veteran's Day is a great time to honor
all of the Veterans that have put so much effort towards our freedom. He wished everyone
a Happy Thanksgiving.
Councilm ember Coil es,reported that at the SANBAG Board Meeting the Directors approved
funding for a motorcycle police officer and a crossing guards for selected Rialto Schools to
help control traffic and help also prevent accidents during the construction of State Route
210. They are opening two streets that has increased the traffic where school children are
crossing and they don't have signals or stop signs or crosswalks. They also voted to remove
the ramps for the same project because of the San Bernardino kangaroo rat. She feels that
we should ask for a motorcycle police officer, because of the increased traffic due to the
closure of Reche Canyon. She thanked staff for participating and helping out with the fire
victims as well as her colleagues. She thanked staff for doing a great Halloween Haunt. She
felt that the Country Fair was very nice.
Assistant City Manager Berry, thanked everyone who made the Halloween Haunt happen.
He thanked the Grand Terrace Woman's Club, the Grand Terrace Lion's Club, Waste
Management, Grand Terrace Real Estate, Blue Mountain Real Estate, Terra Loma Real
Estate,Mr.&Mrs.Frank Ferre,Mr. &Mrs.Tony Petta,Keystone Schools,California Skate,
Nolte&Associates,Roquet Paving,andValleyBank. He thanked Riverside Highland Water
Co. who provided the generator that kept everything running and Air Borne Bike gave the
City a good price for a bicycle that was given out as a prize. He thanked Terrace Crest
Baptist Church for staffing the event. He showed approximately five minutes of a video of

the Halloween Haunt and the Country Fair.
Councilmember Cortes, expressed well wishes to fonner Councilmember Gene Carlstrom
that was recently in the hospital, he is doing well. She wished Gary Koontz a Happy
Birthday and also Councilmember Don Larkin.
Mayor Garcia, wished them both a Happy Birthday. She thanked Assistant City Manager
Berry for all of his efforts on the video that he put together. She congratulated
Councilmember Hilkey on his win with his cookies and also congratulated the Grand Terrace
Library on raising$6800 in the kiss a cow contest. She thanked everyone for doing whatever
they could for the fire victims. The Chamber of Commerce had a major drive. She was able
to go to the Jerry L. Petta's Veteran's Hospital in Loma Linda for a tour. She feels that it is
important to remember the sacrifice's that our Veteran's have given. She reported on the
tremendous strides that the Foundation is having and requested that Assistant City Manager
Berry give a report on the two events that they have had.
Assistant City Manager Berry,reported that the Foundation held an event at Valley Bank and
was able to raise another $2,500 and they are looking at holding another event in early
December.
Mayor Garcia, congratulated Valley Bank on their Grand Re-opening. She asked Council
what their feelings are on starting the Council meeting at 8:00 p.m. on December 11, 2003.
It was the consensus of the Council to start the meeting of December 11, 2003 at 8:00 p.m.
following the City Birthday Party.
Mayor Garcia, received a message on her answering machine from Elizabeth from
Congressman Jerry Lewis'Office indicating that we got$500,000.00 dollars for the 1215 and
ZD
Barton Road interchange. They are finalizing the conference report and then it will get
passed by the House and Senate and then it will go to the President's desk for support.
PUBLIC HEARING
6A. An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Grand Terrace, Approving BRSP-
03-01 (Amendments to the Barton Road Specific Plan) and E-03-08(Environmental
Review -Negative Declaration)
Community and Economic Development Director Koontz indicated the in 1990 the Grand
Terrace City Council approved the original Barton Road Specific Plan. Over the past 13
years, several minor amendments have been approved to address specific issues associated
with the Specific Plan and its implementation. However, no comprehensive review and
revision has occurred. The Community Development Department has undertaken the task
Council Minutes
November 13,2003
Page 5
of performing a comprehensive review of the current Barton Road Specific Plan. Based
upon this review, the Department has prepared a major revision to the Specific Plan. He
gave an overview of the proposed changes.
Mayor Garcia opened discussion up to the public.
Charles Hadie, 2209 West Balboa Blvd.,Newport Beach, CA 92663,indicated that he is in
support of the proposed amendment to the Barton Road Specific Plan.
Mayor Garcia returned discussion to the Council.
Councilmember Larkin, questioned what measures have been taken in the Barton Road
Specific Plan to ensure that a bunch of strip malls aren't built along Barton Road.
Community and Economic Development Director Koontz, responded that throughout the
specific plan it still provides the same guidelines and with the planning process they have,
staff review and the Planning Commission review he is quite comfortable that they can avoid
that from happening.
Councilmember Larkin, questioned if there were any incentives to get multiple property
owners together due to the current sizes of the lots on Barton Road.
Community and Economic Development Director Koontz, responded that they left a
discussion on incentives, however, they are not specific. They made it an open discussion
between the Planning Commission and the applicant.
Councilmember Larkin, questioned if the plan includes multi-zoning to mix the residential
and commercial together to make it more pedestrian friendly.
Community and Economic Development Director Koontz, responded that it maintains the
desire to keep the pedestrian access with the conmmercial development. They aren't avoiding
anything that was in the original plan.
Councilmember Larkin, requested clarification on drive-tlm-u's.
Commmunity and Economic Development Director Koontz,responded that they are permitted
and that have always been permitted in the Specific Plan and you will probably see one or
two drive-thru's corning across our door soon.
Councilmember Hilkey,questioned what changes are taking place on Preston with the multi-
family.
Council Minutes
November 13,2003
Page 6
Community and Economic Development Director Koontz,responded that they are basically
focusing on the area of the vacant lot that is surrounded by multi-family development.
Councilmember Hilkev, asked if the language has been changed regarding the 300 foot
access along Section 2.
Community and Economic Development Director Koontz,responded that the language has
been modified slightly. There are going to be certain cases where you simply can not get a
300 foot access.
Councilmember Hilkev,stated that he agrees with everything that Community and Economic
Development Director Koontz is saying. He questioned what assurance does the Council
have that strip malls won't be approved at Staff or Planning Commission level.
Community and Economic Development Director Koontz,right now he is depending on his
understanding of the direction of the City Council and the Planning Commission to ensure
that those things don't happen. To put in some type of qualifier that says if this happens or
that happens it has to be approved by the City Council, we can do that, however, it will be
interesting wording.
Councilmember Hilkev, questioned the section pertaining to monument signs.
Community and Economic Development Director Koontz,responded that the existing zoning
sign section is exactly the same for all intensive purposes.
Councilmember Larkin, questioned if there is any consideration of signs near the 215
interchange in the Barton Road Specific Plan.
Community Development Director Koontz, responded that it is not a part of the Specific
Plan,however, it would fall under the existing sign ordinance.

Title 4 of the Grand Terrace Municipal Code and Establishing Animal Control
and Licensing Fees
Assistant City Manager Berry, indicated that as of November 1, 2003 the City of Colton

began providing Animal Control Services for the City of Grand Terrace. Staff has been
working closely with Colton's Staff to bring our fee schedule up-to-date regarding Animal
Control and Licensing fees. He gave information on the AVID Chip Implant. He
recommends that the Council adopt the proposed Ordinance and that residents have the
option of choosing an electronic chip implant program for their pets. These implants will be
available at all pet licensing clinic held in Grand Terrace.
Councilmember Larkin, questioned how long a dog is held before taking it to the shelter.
Assistant City Manager Berry,responded that they will bring the animals to the shelter at the
end of the officers shift.
Councilmember Larkin, questioned if the officer will try to find the owner if the animal is
licensed.
Assistant City Manager Berry, responded in the negative that the officer will take it to the
shelter`.
Councilmember Larkin, questioned if an animal has the Chip implant and the officer scans
the animal, will the officer take that animal to the owner.
Assistant City Manager Berry, responded in the affirmative.
Councilmember Larkin,questioned then why not have a discount for those animals that have
a chip implanted.
Assistant City Manager Berry, responded that at this time the City of Colton has not
purchased the equipment. When we get to the point where they do purchase the equipment,
then we can modify the fees.
Councilmember Larkin, questioned if the officer will pick-up any animal.
Assistant City Manager Berry,responded that from what he understands that for skunks and
opossums residents will have to rent the trap and trap them and the officer will pick them up.
Councilmember Hilkev,indicated that in the past he borrowed the traps from the County,that
there wasn't a fee for them.
City Manager Schwab,indicated that from his experience, although it has been a few years,
there was money involved.
Councilmember Hilkev, confirmed that there is a rental fee that is being proposed.

Assistant Cityanager Berry, responded in the affirmative.
Councilmember Hilkev,referred to a letter that he received regarding the Chip implant. He
would like to postpone this until we can find out if Colton has a scanner and if the City can
buy the chips.
Assistant City Manager Beery, indicated that Colton does not have a scanner and nor does
the County of San Bernardino.
Councilmember Larkin, questioned how much a scanner costs.
Assistant City Manager Berry, responded that he does not know. He indicated that it is
important to move forward with this fee schedule,otherwise the City will be unable to do the
licensing clinics in January and will really hold up the process.
Councilmember Hilkev, questioned if the general animal fees are the City's fees or the fee
to house the pet at the shelter.
Assistant Citv Manger Berry,responded that it is the fee that the shelter charges and the City
recaptures a portion of that if someone picks up the animal.
Councilmember Larkin, stated that there is no cost to the City if the animal never goes to the
shelter.
Assistant City Manager Berry, responded that there should still be a fine because there is a
leash law. He indicated that we survive off of fees and fines and licenses to make this
program work.
Councilmember Hilkev,indicated that he feels strongly that we should require a chip or that
a first offense fines should be less. He feels that if we are going to make a change we should
make a change for the better.
City Manager Schwab, indicated that any fee that we do not collect will come out of the
General Fund.
Assistant City Manager Berry, indicated that the licensing fees did not increase.
Councilmember Hilkev, questioned if the shelter fees went up.
Assistant City Manager Berry, responded that the first time second time and third time
offense went up, however, those are minimal amount of revenues that come in.

Councilmember Larkin, feels that it will be helpful to have background information for
comparison. He supports requiring a chip implant and having a reduced fine as an incentive.
Mayor Garcia opened discussion to the public,there being none, she returned discussion to
the Council.
Councilmember Hilkev, feels that we are rushing into this and feels that we should put
together a fee where residents pay for the chip when they license the animal for the first time.
If the animal is caught they won't get charged the horrendous housing fees. If they choose
not to get the chip then they pay the housing fees.
City Manager Schwab,indicated that the City won't be collecting the fees until January and
questioned Assistant City Manager Berry if there would be a problem pushing this back to
the December Meeting.
Assistant Cijy Manager Bem, indicated that the Ordinance requires a second reading.
Councilmember Hilkev,indicated that he would like the fees to be set up where you pay$9
for a neutered dog plus$40 for a chip and registration and a discount if your dog gets picked
up and the satisfaction that your dog will be returned.
Mayor Garcia, indicated that she is all for encouraging the chip implant, however, she has'
a little bit of a problem mandating the fee. She feels that most people that want to do it will
do the implant. She has a problem telling people they have to do it.
Councilmember Hilkev,indicated that he has a problem telling people that they have to pay
for a license that has no value. He would rather tell someone would you rather pay$9 for
a license that has no value or would you rather pay$50 and get an implant for your pet.
Councilmember Larkin,indicated that he doesn't feel the chip should bemandated,however,
he feels it should be an option and should the dog get caught, there should be a $15 dollar
discount on the first offense.

City of Grand Terrace
SUBJECT Purchase of Light Bar For Citizen's Patrol Vehicle
During a recent Citizen's Patrol meeting several members of the unit indicated they had an
interest in exploring the possibility of having an amber colored light bar installed on the 1999
Plymouth Breeze vehicle they use for patrolling the city. This vehicle currently is equipped with
a rear facing directional flashing light bar which is mounted on the deck lid inside the rear
window.
Since the current light bar is only visible from the rear, this limits their ability to safely utilize the
vehicle for some functions such as street closures or other traffic control functions. The new light
bar they have requested mounts on the roof of the vehicle and would increase the visibility of the
emergency lights and enhance the vehicle's versatility.
I have consulted with our Sheriff's Automotive Division and have learned that the purchase and
installation of this type of light bar runs approximately $500. I am therefore requesting
authorization to utilize a portion or the "CLEEP" grant funds for the purchase and installation of
this light bar.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter, and should you have any questions please feel
fi-ee to contact me at (909) 387-3505.

SUBJECT: General Plan Annual Progress Report
RECOMMENDATION: Review, consider and accept the General Plan Annual
Progress Report and authorize staff to submit said Report
to the Governor's Office of Planning and Research and the
1 _ State's Department of Housing and Community
Development
Introduction:
This is the annual report on the status of the General Plan and its implementation including
the City's progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs. The purpose of this
annual report is to inform the State of local planning activities which, hopefully,will facilitate
the legislative process with respect to land use and local planning issues. The information
provided in this report is intended to advise the Council on the current status of the City's
General Plan including the progress in updating the General Plan and the success in
implementing the policies of the existing General Plan and formulating future priorities for
the advanced planning of the City.
Background:
State Government Code § 65400 (b)l requires that the local planning department provide
an annual report to the legislative body(City Council)on the status of the General Plan and
progress in its implementation including the progress in meeting its share of regional
housing needs pursuant to Government Code § 65584. The report must be presented to
the local legislative body for their review and-acceptance.

Analysis:
A. General Plan History:
The City of Grand Terrace adopted its original General Plan in December of 1988,
following work done by a consulting firm begun in 1984. The "Elements" in the
original General Plan included the Hazards Element, Natural Resources Element,
Aesthetic, Cultural and Recreational Resources Element, the Community
Development Element, the Infrastructure Element, and the Housing
Element/Housing Assistance Plan. These elements corresponded roughly to the
current, mandatory elements required by existing State law (Government Code
§65202 list the required elements of the General Plan) which include the land use,
circulation, housing, conservation, open space, noise and safety elements.
In December of 1992 the City Council authorized the creation of a General Plan
Task Force to revised the 1989 General Plan; however, members were not
appointed until March of 1993. This committee was created to develop a broad
vision of the future for the City of Grand Terrace and to make specific
recommendations on the future development of the community including not only
land use but also economic and social issues.
After several years of meetings and efforts,the General Plan Task Force presented
to the City Council on September 25, 1997 a "Strategic Action Plan" with detailed
recommendations on such matters as community image, the preservation of Blue
Mountain, the development of a City civic center, economic development, future
industrial areas, emphasis on family and children orientation, maintaining public
safety, City infrastructure, and proposing a strategic element to implement the
General Plan.
Besides the "Strategic Action Plan,"the Task Force developed "Guiding Principles
for Grand Terrace" and a "Vision" for the future of Grand Terrace
With these documents, including their recommendations and guidance, Staff began
the process of updating and revising the General Plan, one element at a time.
B. Updated General Plan Elements:,
Government Code §65103(a) requires that each City "periodically review, and
revise, as necessary, the general plan." In addition, the California Supreme Court
has stated that there is an implied duty on the part of a city to.keep its General Plan
current.
In light of this,the City has been, over the past several years, periodically"updating
and revising" the General Plan one element at a time. (This approach reflects the
relatively limited planning resources of the City, both personnel and financial.) So
far, the following elements have been updated, revised or added to the current
General Plan.
Circulation Element:
The first element that was revised and added to the City's General Plan was the
Circulation Element. The Circulation Element deals with the transportation facilities
within the City, both existing and proposed. By statute, the Circulation Element
must correlate directly with the land use element. The Circulation Element was
prepared- primarily by the City's Traffic Engineer with the aid of Staff. It was
approved and adopted by Ordinance by the City Council on August 27, 1998.
Air Quality Element:
The next element that was added to the City's General Plan was the Air Quality
Element approved by the City Council on February 25, 1999. The Air Quality
Element is an "optional"element but given the air quality in the region it was felt that
it was necessary to include such an element in the updated General Plan. The
South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) prepared a Air Quality
Management Plan as required by the California Clean Air Act of 1988. The
SCAQMD called upon local governments to play an active role and assist
governmental efforts in reducing emissions. The Air Quality Element was prepared
and adopted as part of the City's General Plan to be used as a guide to the City in
meeting its obligations to assist in improving the region's air quality.
Housing Element:
The Housing Element was last adopted on May 27, 1999 following its certification
by the State's Department of Housing and Community Development(HCD). Unlike
the other mandatory elements of the General Plan, the Housing Element is subject
to detailed statutory requirements regarding its content and must be updated every
five years. Housing element law requires local governments to adequately plan to
meet their existing and projected housing needs including their share of the regional
housing need. More recently, the Housing Element was updated and revised as
required by State law. The Housing Element is the only part of the General Plan
which is specifically required to be updated in conformance with a specific time
table. In accordance with this requirement,the City Council tentatively approved the
updated Housing Element on February 28, 2002 subject to "HCD" review.
Open Space Element:
The Open Space,Element was the third element adopted in the General Plan
update. The Open Space Element is one of the mandated elements of the General
Plan required by State Law. The Open Space Element guides.the comprehensive
and long-range preservation and conservation of the open space land in the City.
Open space land is defined by State law as any parcel or area of land or water that
is essentially unimproved and devoted to open-space use. The Open Space
Element was approved and adopted by the City Council on January 13, 2000.
Noise Element:
The Noise Element was the last element adopted in the General Plan update. The
Noise Element is also mandated by State law. The purpose of the Noise Element
is to limit the exposure of the community to excessive noise levels. The Noise
Element was approved and adopted by ordinance by the City Council on October
23, 2003.
C. Future Updates and Revisions to the General Plan:
There are three mandatory elements that are awaiting revision in order to fully
update the General Plan. These three,elements are: Land Use, Conservation and
Safety. The Land Use Element functions as a guide to the City for the ultimate
pattern of development at build-out. It is perhaps the element with the broadest
scope of the seven mandatory elements of the General Plan. The Conservation
Element provides rdirection regarding the conservation, development and utilization
of natural resources within a community. It is expected that the Conservation
Element would most likely be directed towards the preservation of any natural
resources within the eastern portion of the City including Blue Mountain. Lastly,
the purpose of the Safety Element is to reduce the potential risk of death, injuries,
property damage, and economic dislocation to the residents of the City resulting
from fires,.floods, earthquakes, landslides and other hazards.
It is expected that these last three elements would be essentially written and
produced by Planning Staff with, perhaps, some technical work to be prepared by
an outside consultant or consultants similar to those consultants used to prepare
the noise and the housing elements.
In the preparation of the General Plan Elements, City planning staff has and will
continue to utilize the previous recommendations of the General Plan Task Force
to guide the formulation of the goals, objective, policies and programs of each
updated element. These recommendations together with the public hearings
required to amend or update each element of the General Plan will provide the
necessary public input to update the General Plan.
In addition, the City will be, of course, preparing another updated Housing Element
as required by State law in 2006. It is expected that, once_ again, the services of a
housing consultant will be employed to prepare this new Housing Element.
Staff will also give serious consideration of the General Plan Task :Force
recommendations to add a Strategic Action Element to the General Plan to provide,
one overall document to insure internal consistency among all of the Elements of
the General Plan and to coordinate its timely implementation
D. General Implementation:
Zoning is one of the primary means of implementing a general plan. Paragraph
65803 of the Government Code requires that counties and general law cities
maintain consistency between their zoning,ordinance and the adopted general plan.
The City's Zoning Code and Zoning Districts are consistent with the City's adopted
General Plan.
In addition for all discretionary development projects approved by the City, findings
have been made that the particular project proposal is consistent with the adopted
General Plan in accordance with State law. Such findings were made for
applications for amendments to the Zoning Code, specific plans, conditional use
permits, tract maps, parcel maps, site and architectural reviews and variances. On
average, the Staff processes some 250 to 280 development requests per year,
many of these are discretionary in nature requiring a finding of consistency with the
City's adopted General Plan.
The Circulation Element has been implemented through various grant applications
that the City has made where the goals, objectives and policies have been cited and
used as guidance in obtaining such grants for street improvements, signalization
and development of bicycle lanes and facilities. The Circulation Element has also
been the basis for preparing the annual Capital Improvement Plan which must be
reviewed and approved by the City Council and must be consistent with the City's
General Plan (Government Code§65103c). The Circulation Element also provided
the basis upon which to negotiate with the developer of large projects adjacent to
the City as to the proper mitigation of the projected increase in traffic coming
through the City. The goals and objectives within the Circulation Element provided
the rationale to prepare and adopt a Bicycle Transportation Plan for the City to
encourage alternate means of transportation. The Bicycle Transportation Plan was
adopted by the Council in December of 2002.
The Air Quality and Open Space Elements have been used in analyzing project
proposals that have become before the City. The Air Quality Element has also
been used-to formulate proposals under AB 2766 grants that are administered by
the South Coast Air Quality Management District. In addition, the City has required
the implementation of a "Trip Reduction Ordinance" in its review of proposed
projects to improve air quality. As part of the Open Space Element, the City has
sought grants to improve its parks including the redesign and reconstruction of
Richard Rollins Park and a grant application to develop the currently undeveloped
Susan Petta Park.
The Noise Element was just recently adopted by the City Council. It is expected
that it will play a strong role in developing future standards for new projects to insure
that adverse noise conditions will not result.
E. Housing Implementation:
As indicated above, the City is engaged in the process of updating the Housing
Element in conformance with State law. In the updated Housing Element that was
approved by Council, there is a report and discussion on past housing
accomplishments. As required by State law,the Southern California Association of
Governments (SCAG) establishes the"Regional Housing Needs Allocation Model"
(RHNA) for the City of Grand Terrace. During the prior housing cycle the City met
its goals for both low and moderate income housing which,were well exceeded and
also met 32 percent of the allocated upper income units were built. For the current
housing cycle, similar results may be expected excepting that, based on proposed
projects which will becoming before the City, the number of upper income units is
expected to be increased.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council review, consider and accept the General Plan
Annual Progress Report and authorize staff to submit said Report to the Governor's Office
of Planning and Research and the State's Department of Housing and Community
Development

1. Person with check -in list will be stationed at the stage.
2. As food items arrive. they should be given a number, which is written next to their
name along with a brief description of the item.
3. The number is then written on the center of a large plate with a brief description of the
item. Five tasting cups are arranged on the plate so that the number is still visible. The
plate and entry are placed on the appropriate table which will be labelled "Pies",
"Cookies", "Cakes". etc. A small portion is then placed into each tasting cup, chili should
be placed into tasting cups last to avoid heat loss. Plastic spoons are needed for chili and
jelly. One cup of water per judge should be available.
4. The entry is marked with a numbered index card taped to it, then, is to remain with the
numbered plate at all times until judging, tallying and placement of blue or red dots on
the appropriate items are completed. Blue dots signify a First Place winner, red dots
mean 2nd place.
5. Items are then cut and wrapped on a plate with plastic wrap. Cookies ared placed in
sandwich bags. Food is then carted to the front counter and offered up for sale.
( Kids cookie contest works the same way as above except each item is given a letter rather than a
number.)
Tally sheets
Each sheet should have a category at the top, a space for the judges to take notes with an
example i.e. # 30 too blaod, #eeds salt? # 31 good balance of flavors, #32 best,
lots of weat, r1ch favor, #33 Too th/a, h#t good taste, etc...
Instructions would say, "please write the number of the entry in the appropriate space."
I st Place: pts.
2nd Place: pts.
3rd place: pts.
Perhaps we could write up an information sheet for the judges to read prior to judging. It
might include the sample judging sheet, a list of descriptive words, a warning that people
with food allergies, sensitivity to spicy foods, and/or lactose intolerance should use
caution when deciding to participate.
Upon arrival,judges are to check-in at the stage for further instructions.
After judging is completed, and tallying is done, we may want to post the judging sheets
on a bulletin board after writing the winners on the white-board. Many contestants are
interested in the deciding factors for the winning entries. Judges would not have their
names on the forms. so would remain anonymous. This would allow them to give an
objective opinion without concern over hurt feelings.

Even though we only give out First and Second Awards, as the judging sheet
indicates each 1'. gets three points, each 2nd gets two and 3 d gets one point.
These are noted in each category, added and the two top receive the awards.
It is simple but does take time. I chose to tabulate two times to ensure
fairness.
This year one of the judges made a wrong notation for a first and I thought it
was best to throw out that vote. It might be a good idea to emphasize, as
they are being prepared to judge, that they be careful of the numbers or
letters. However, since it seems to me that this is a fun aspect of the Fair
and even though the judging should be done in all seriousness, too much
should not be expected.
Note: I chose to do the tabulating after all judging was completed. I think
that if someone else took over the handing out and collecting of the judging
sheets, the tabulating could be done in a more timely manner. Each category
could be completed while the next category was being judged. Then the
items could be put out for sale more quickly.

I. Introduction
A. Purpose of the Plan
Over the years, the Barton Road corridor has evolved into a mixed-use area defined by a
variety of commercial, office, service, and residential ,land uses. The quality and
condition of existing structures varies from exemplary contemporary projects to
substandard and visibly deteriorating areas. The dominant use along the corridor is strip
commercial that has developed over the years in a disjointed, incremental manner.
Residential uses*comprise a significant amount of the Specific Plan area and are found
generally in the form of single-family homes, some of which have been converted to
socommercial/office uses. Multi-family uses are predominant in eastern end of the Plan
Area south of Barton Road.
Concern was documented during preparation of the City's General Plan in 1988 that the
Barton Road commercial corridor was developing in an unplanned, disjointed manner
and that unless the area was comprehensively planned for the future; the full economic
potential of the corridor may not be realized. Of equal concern was the present physical
appearance of the area and the need to upgrade its' image as Grand Terrace's
"downtown". The original Barton Road Specific Plan was approved in 1990 and has
been periodically amended to address specific development issues associated with
individual projects. In 2002, it was determined that the Specific Plan required a
comprehensive review to determine its consistency with current State planning law and
its ability to address current and future need of the community. This need was
supplemented by changing economic conditions and acceptable development concepts
that affect potential development within the Plan area.
The purpose of this Specific Plan document and the associated "BRSP" Barton Road-
Specific Plan Zoning District is to assure the systematic implementation of the City of
Grand Terrace's General Plan within the Specific Plan area as shown in Exhibit 1. To
fulfill this purpose, the document provides a comprehensive plan of land use,
development regulations, design guidelines, development incentives and other related
actions aimed at implementing the goals and objectives set forth in the Plan.
Upon adoption by ordinance of the City Council, this plan constitutes the legally
established zoning for properties within the plan area. Moreover, it establishes certain
development regulations, standards, and guidelines within the Barton Road corridor.
This document supercedes all previous specific plans, technical master plans or similar
documents related to properties within the Specific Plan area.
B. Project Location
The Specific Plan encompasses approximately a 1.3-mile long corridor along Barton
Road extending from the Riverside Freeway (Interstate 215), on the west, to the
intersection of Barton Road and Victoria Street on the east. Major intersecting streets
include, from west to east; Michigan Street, Canal Street, Mt. Vernon Avenue, and
Preston Street (see Exhibit I, Specific Plan Area Map).

This Map is for reference only. For detailed information,please consult with the Community Development Department. Exhibit 1
C. Planning Areas
The primary land use along the corridor is commercial with some office and residential
uses (see Exhibit 2, Existing Land Use Map). The corridor functions as Grand Terrace's
"downtown" and primary commercial center. City Hall is located near the eastern end
of the corridor. For these reasons, the quality and image of the area are extremely
important to the City and its residents.
D. Authority
California Government Code Sections 65450 through 65457 provide the necessary
authorization for the City of Grand Terrace to prepare and adopt this Specific Plan.
Hearings are required by both the Planning Commission and City Council. Following
these hearings, the Specific Plan is adopted by the Council either by resolution as policy
or by ordinance as regulation. Due to the regulatory nature of this Plan, it has been
adopted by ordinance.
E. Relationship of the Specific Plan to the General Plan
This Specific Plan has been prepared in compliance with the goals and policies of the
City of Grand Terrace General Plan. The Specific Plan is designed to implement the
General Plan's various elements including Land Use and Circulation, among others.
All proposed development projects found to be consistent with the Specific Plan shall
also be deemed consistent with the City's General Plan. The Specific Plan may be
amended as many times as necessary to further the systematic implementation of the
General Plan.
F. Project Consistency with the Specific Plan
The Barton Road Specific Plan is a regulatory plan that will serve as zoning law for
properties within the boundaries of the Plan as depicted in Exhibit I. All administrative
and discretionary development approvals must be consistent with this Specific Plan.
These approvals include, but are not limited to the following:
• Subdivisions and parcel maps
• Conditional Use Permits
• Site and Architectural Review
• Land Use Permits
• Master Development Plans
• Development Agreements

II. Land Use Plan
A. Opportunities and Constraints
As with any physical development program, especially in an area that has already
experienced urban development, certain aspects of the environment act as constraints to
the achievement of desired development goals while others offer opportunities which
can be taken advantage of to promote the types of development envisioned for the area.
The original Barton Road Specific Plan preparation included an analysis of the existing
physical conditions of the plan area. Based upon that analysis, the following list of
opportunities and constraints was prepared.
1. Development of quality commercial and office uses will be encouraged.
2. Incremental development of strip commercial uses on small lots will be strongly
discouraged as will be the conversion of residential units to commercial or office
uses.
3. The overall physical image of the area requires upgrading in order to attract and
maintain quality development.
4. Existing General Plan land use designations and zoning should remain basically
the same, but site development standards will change to achieve higher quality
development and discourage strip-type development.
5. A variety of incentive programs will be necessary in order to achieve the desired
level of quality development envisioned for by the City.
When combined with public policy input (goals and objectives), the opportunities and
constraints become the ingredients used in formulating the overall direction of the
Specific Plan. The identified opportunities and constraints are as follows:
Opportunities
• Capitalize on existing physical features and land uses that contribute to and
reinforce a feeling of low density and pedestrian scale along the corridor.
• Implement a programmatic land use plan and urban design theme, which
establishes a "village" character and provides Grand Terrace's downtown with
a "sense of place".
• Recapture retail sales leakage to surrounding communities, including both local
and community level goods and services with an emphasis on quality.
• Encourage the merger and development of small, underutilized properties along
the corridor, especially west of Canal Street and at the northwest corner of
Barton Road and Mt. Vernon Avenue.
• Preserve, whenever possible, significant existing trees along the corridor and
emphasize the provision of trees in new development.
6
Constraints
• Lack of cohesiveness, land use consistency and community focal points; current
strip commercial orientation lacks concentrated activity centers. Corridor lacks
a sense ofplace.
• Lack of pedestrian areas and amenities, including plazas, courtyards, public
parks, cultural or entertainment features.
® Location of existing potentially conflicting residential land uses and trailer
park.
• Lack of freeway- and travel-related commercial land uses, such as family
restaurants.
Lack of a consistent and continuous urban design and landscape theme. Image
ofprivate developments requires upgrading.
• Majority of parcels are fragmented and under individual ownership. Many of
the lots are of a long, narrow configuration, which is difficult to develop without
merger with adjoining parcels.
• Conversion of single-family residences to office%ommercial uses constrains
higher quality development.
• Image of corridor is fragmented in terms of uses, setbacks, landscaping, right-
of-way improvements and architectural style.
Existing commercial centers in adjacent cities (Colton, Loma Linda) draw local
market and its sales dollars.
B. Goals, Objectives and Policies
The purpose of this section is to articulate the Goals, Objectives, and Polices for the
Barton Road Specific Plan and begin the foundation for subsequent sections of this
Plan.
GOALS: Broad statements that define the community's hope for the future. They
are general in nature and do not indicate when and how these goals are to be
accomplished.
OBJECTIVES: Statements of intent that generally guide future decisions in
specific topic areas.
POLICIES: More specific statements of intent to deal with particular topics in a
certain fashion. They begin to define the approach to achieve the Plan objectives, and
are the first step in the development of a solution by forming the basis of standards and
regulations.
7
OVERALL GOAL
To create a dynamic "downtown" commercial center that is attractive and of
high quality, unifying community design image, reflective of a "village" identity,
and providing an economically viable setting for a balanced mixture of
commercial and administrative/professional uses with safe, efficient circulation
and access.
In an effort to further define and prioritize this overall goal statement, the following
Community Design, Land Use/Economic, Circulation, Environmental, and
Infrastructure goals and objectives are provided.
COMMUNITY DESIGN
GOAL: Create the community design image that expresses and enhances a
unique "village" scale, character and identity for Grand Terrace.
OBJECTIVES:
• Provide a pedestrian-oriented circulation system that identifies a
"village" center or downtown.
• Provide an entry statement at Interstate 215 and Barton Road intersection
that enhances the village orientation of the community.
• Promote compatible building elevations that provide transition at, or
linkages between, commercial and residential areas while protecting
r adjoining established residential neighborhoods.
• Through continued implementation of the City street tree program,
promote contemporary landscape treatments throughout the corridor. The
landscapin should be of a drought-tolerant, low-maintenance nature and
able to withstand occasional high winds and intense urban conditions,
such as smog and automobile exhaust.
• Provide for the elimination or screening of visually objectionable views
such as outdoor storage, utility cabinets, trash bins roof-mounted
equipment, blank side walls recycling equipment, and loading areas
through the implementation okdesign guidelines.
POLICIES:
• Develop consistent streetscape and architectural palettes that are
sensitive to the creation of a 'village" statement for Barton Road.. (It is
not the intent of this thematic requirement to discourage innovative or
contemporary architectural expressions or to imitate the architecture of
the past, but to promote the harmonious coexistence of architectural
styles varying from restoration to contemporary architectural themes.)
• Require compliance with the community design guidelines in plans for
new development or expansion or redevelopment of existing
development; incorporate community design as a major consideration in
site plan review and approval.
• Utilize landscape materials on private property that are clean, safe, wind
resistant, and relatively low maintenance. Informal landscape forms
should be utilized in the corridor to emphasize the "village" atmosphere
and scale.
8
• Leveiop an mcenuve program ML rewarus private sector ueveiopmenL
for providing certain extra design amenities within their projects. Of
particular interest are passive solar techniques such as building
overhangs, arcades, awnings and extra tree plantings, especially. in
parking lot areas. Consideration should be given to special paving
materials used in place of asphalt in vehicular areas.
• Provide incentives to expedite removal of signs that do not conform to
the regulations of this Specific Plan.
• Consider economic incentives for owners who wish to architecturally
rehabilitate, refurbish, or upgrade landscaping on existing properties.
• Designate special on-site landscape and architectural features at the Mt.
Vernon/Barton Road intersection location, combining thematic plantings
with complementary architectural statements designed to promote a
distinctive thematic character for this activity node. Changes in paving
materials, plant materials lighting, signing, and sizing of adjacent
structures should occur at lis intersection to enhance its distinctiveness.
• Reqguire that new development be sensitive to significant mature trees
a2views of natural landforms, such as Blue Mountain.
LAND USE/ECONOMIC
GOAL: Develop a Specific Plan that is responsive to community land use and
fiscal needs.
OBJECTIVES:
• Maximize the economic position of the Barton Road commercial
activities, capturing neighborhood, sub-regional, as well as travel-related
demand. Sales tax-generating uses should'be emphasized.
• Promote distinctive commercial clusters (versus strip commercial) that
are sensitive to a village-scale.
• Require. master planning at key sites within the Specific Plan area to
assure integrated development utilizing coordinated access, parking,
building orientation/location,pedestrian and transit facilities.
• Encourage a mixed-use (retail/office) development concept to add
variety throughout the commercial corridor.
• Ensure the gradual upgrade of underutilized parcels functioning at less
than their market potential.
• Encourage consolidation of elongated parcels and improve vehicular
access to deep lots along the corricfior.
• Focus on attracting new commercial uses through economic
development activities.
POLICIES:
• Establish regulations and provide incentive bonuses that promote
pedestrian oriented plazas and courtyards; encourage active retail
commercial uses at key intersections along Barton Road.
• Prepare . development regulations and guidelines that clarify the
expectations of the City in terms of quality development.
• Establish regulations that assure compatibility of new commercial uses
with the "village" design concept while employing specific, well-
designed-buffers from adjacent residential development.
9
• Establish and incentive/bonus program of lot consolidation along the
corridor to encourage development into planned concentrations, as
opposed to a linear strip commercial configuration.
• Establish redevelopment programs to assist business with property
improvements.
• Develop incentives/regulations to encourage priority village oriented
land uses at the Mt. Vernon/Barton Road intersection.
• Encourage the development of superior architectural and site planning
design which, in time, will create an image of regional magnitude for
Barton Road that attracts quality-oriented specialty shops as well as
additional shoppers.
• Establish land uses that complement existing village orientation within
the Specific Plan area.
CIRCULATION
GOAL: Maintain a circulation system that facilitates efficient, safe vehicular and
pedestrian traffic and enhances the community design character along
Barton Road.
OBJECTIVES:
• Limit and/or consolidate vehicular access points onto Barton Road.
• Develop a mixture of land uses that reduce home/work trips within the
corridor and the City.
• Provide for and phase necessary infrastructure improvements, such as
under grounding utilities and landscaping to maximize the efficiency of
traffic as well as add to the aesthetic quality of Barton Road.
• Encourage use of local transit programs wherever possible .and enhance
use of bus facilities.
POLICIES:
• Establish the placement of bus shelters and bus turnouts to assist traffic
safety and efficiency.
• Require pedestrian-oriented amenities at key activity nodes through
private development improvements.
• Reduce the number of vehicular trips between individual sites that must
use Barton Road by requiring private projects to secure reciprocal
parking access agreements prior to development. Shared parking and
access will facilitate efficient parcel usage and minimize traffic support
facilities such as drives, parking spaces, etc.
• Discourage new developments from taking primary access from
residential streets, by developing internal circulation systems that direct
traffic away from adjacent neighborhoods.
10
ENVIRONMENTAL
GOAL: Maintain the highest possible environmental quality within the Specific
Plan area, by balancing the impacts of development with environmental
concerns.
OBJECTIVES:
• Establish regulations that preserve significant environmental features,
such as mature trees and views of local mountains within the Barton
Road corridor.
• Through the project approval process and the imposition of conditions or
mitigation measures ensure that all development within the Specific
Plan area will not Decrease environmental quality, and will wherever
possible create a higher quality environment.
POLICIES:
• Prepare a map of significant trees that may be considered for
preservation.
• Require all new development to meet General Plan environmental
regulations. Of particular concern are noise, lighting, and traffic impacts
upon adjoining residential properties generated by commercial uses.
INFRASTRUCTURE
GOAL: Maintain a high level of public services and facilities to all businesses
along Barton Road.
OBJECTIVE:
• Coordinate all development activity with the construction of public
infrastructure.
POLICIES:
• Require that all public services and facilities be available or that other
financial arrangements be instituted prior to issuing building permits.
• As a condition of approval, require developers to install needed public
improvements, such as street lighting, landscaping, sidewalks, curbs, and
gutters adjacent to their property during the first phase of development.
® Require that all utilities be installed underground as a condition of
development approval.
11
C. Project-wide Planning Standards
1. Comprehensive Land Use Plan
The primary concepts upon which preparation of the Land Use Plan are based
are 1) the retention and upgrading of appropriate existing uses within the
corridor, and 2) the expansion of opportunities for new quality development. In
addition, the Plan is based on the following more specific planning concepts and
ideas concerning the desired future for the Barton Road corridor.
• Heavier, general commercial uses and uses serving freeway motorists are
appropriate near the freeway (Planning Area 1) while less intensive
commercial (specialty) retail uses are more appropriate within the
"village" atmosphere provided for in Planning Area 2. Moving further
away from the freeway, office uses are provided for in Planning Area 3
(refer to Exhibit 3, Planning Area Map).
• The Barton Road corridor functions as the City's "downtown"
commercial core. As such, its' image needs to be upgraded to reflect this
important role in the community.
• Strip commercial development on small, disaggregated lots does not lend
itself to the image, scale, or function desired for the Barton Road
corridor.
• The conversion of residential structures to commercial/office uses needs
to be regulated in such a way as to ensure compatibility with surrounding
development and the over-all image and function of the corridor.
• The consolidation of small parcels needs to be required and "incentives"
provided for exceptional consolidation schemes.
2. Project Wide Planning Standards
Master Plan Areas
The intent of a master development plan is to provide a tool to initiate pre-
development planning in areas consisting of multiple ownerships and lots with
narrow street frontages in order to avoid strip commercial development with its
typical proliferation of curb cuts, signs, parking in the front of buildings, and
general lack of visual and functional continuity.
12
Master Plan Area 1
A Master Development Plan shall be required for the area located south of
Barton Road between Michigan Street and Canal Street, designated Master Plan
Area 1. This area is characterized by numerous deep narrow lots with many
existing driveways. The following special development regulations shall apply
to Master Plan Area 1. In addition, two Development Concept Plans have been
prepared for the area to guide future development. The concept plans are not
mandatory, but provide potential developers and property owners with guidance
as to the City's intent for the area (see Exhibit 4, Master Plan Area No. 1 —
Development Concept Plan).
a) Minimum street frontage -The minimum street frontage for any development
site in Master Plan Area No 1. shall be 300 feet under single ownership.
.b) In lieu of providing 300 feet of street frontage under single ownership, an
applicant may participate with adjoining property owners to prepare a master
development plan, which encompasses a minimum of 300 feet of street
frontage. The plan shall indicate how development of the proposed site
integrates the various properties into a single comprehensively planned area.
The plan shall contain, at a minimum, all of the components listed under
item 10 of the General Provisions section. Development of individual
parcels may only proceed in accordance with the approved master
development plan.
c) Front yard setback -A 25-foot front yard setback from Barton Road is
required except as provided in item 3 below. The setback area shall be
landscaped with a combination of rolling berms, low walls, clusters of trees,
shrubs, and ground cover. Monument signs may encroach to within 5 feet of
the front property line. Parking may not encroach into the front setback
area.
d) Street adjacent buildings -For each master planned development, a minimum
of 35 percent of the street frontage along Barton Road shall be occupied by
buildings located within 20 feet of the front property line.
e) Lot consolidation bonus - Development applicants who successfully
consolidate properties under different ownerships may be eligible to receive
development bonuses in the form of relaxations of development regulations
and/or processing fees. Lot consolidation bonuses are discussed in a later
part of this section.

Based upon specific site conditions, the Director of Community Development may determine
that a Master Development Plan is required in other areas to ensure the proper development of
a specific area. The Director's decision to require a Master Development Plan may be appealed
to the Planning Commission. These areas may include the following:
• Master Plan Area 2 —North side of Barton Road between Michigan Street and
Canal Street
• Master Plan Area 3 —Northwest corner of Barton Road and Mt. Vernon Avenue
• Immediate properties surrounding the Barton Road/Mt. Vernon Avenue
intersection.
Although a Master Development Plan may not be required for proposed development within
these designated areas, the following design guidelines should be implemented.
Master.Plan Area 2
The following special development regulations shall apply to Master Plan Area 2.
1) Minimum street frontage - If lots are consolidated, the minimum street
frontage for any development site in Master Plan Area No.2 should be
300 feet under single ownership. In lieu of providing 300 feet of street
frontage that is under single ownership, an individual property owner
may be required to participate with adjoining property owners in
reciprocal access easements designed to reduce the total number of
driveways on Barton Road, as described under item a (1) above and the
General Provisions section.
2) Front Yard setback - The minimum front yard setback in Master Plan
Area 2 shall be 20 feet. Signs may encroach to within 5 feet of the front
property line. Parking should not encroach into the required setback
area. The entire setback area shall be landscaped.
3) Lot consolidation bonus - Development applicants who successfully
consolidate properties under different ownerships may be eligible to
receive development bonuses in the form of relaxations of development
regulations and/or processing fees as determined appropriate by the
Planning Commission.
Master Plan Area 3
The following specific development regulations shall apply to Master Plan Area 3.
I) Street adjacent buildings required - Buildings may be located to within 5
feet of street right-of-way lines along Barton Road and Mt. Vernon
Avenue within 100,feet of the corner.-
2) Lot consolidation bonus - Development applicants who successfully
consolidate properties under different ownerships may be eligible to
receive development bonuses in the form of relaxations of development
regulations and/or processing fees as determined appropriate by the
Planning Commission.
16
Two additional areas within Planning Area 3 are encouraged to develop under Master
Plans. Both areas currently contain mixed uses on several small often odd- shaped
parcels. The purpose -of these Master Plans is to provide for quality cohesive
office/commercial developments while limiting the number of driveways on Barton and
I
promoting the efficient use of land through shared parking.
Master Plan Area 4
Master Plan Area 4 is located at the northeast corner of the Barton Road and Palm
Avenue, west.of City Hall. The area is currently developed as mixed uses .including
offices, single family and multi-family residential, and vacant property. Proposed
projects should be compatible with those-of the Civic Center.
Master Plan Area 5
Master Plan Area 5 is located at the southwest corner of Barton Road and Preston
Street. The area is characterized by limited office/commercial uses and multi-family
development. The proposed Master Plan will provide a design guideline that addresses
the efficient development of mixed commercial and office professional uses and serve
as an eastern gateway to the community.
Development in both Master Plan Areas 4 and 5 shall be consistent with the design
standards and permitted land uses of the Office Professional Zone. Lot consolidation,
reciprocal access, and reciprocal parking shall be encouraged. If development� of
individual lots is proposed, the project will be evaluated based upon its ability to
ultimately blend with existing and proposed adjacent parcel development to create a
cohesive project.
3. Project Wide Design Guidelines
All commercial and office development (new and rehabilitation) located within the
Barton Road Corridor Specific Plan area is subject to the design guidelines/standards
contained herein.
The design guidelines will serve as general standards that should be used for design
review when either of the following actions occur:
• Any new development
• Any major addition or enlargement of an existing structure or use
GENERAL ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES FOR ALL DEVELOPMENT
I
The following section provides numerous written and illustrated design directions related to the
basic quality of commercial building, architecture, color, and scale. This portion of the Specific
Plan addresses each of these elements in general terms and establishes the basic principles,
which are expanded upon in much more detail through the application of the following
"specific architectural guidelines and standards". This section '.paints the overall picture" for
the design principles felt to be important in Grand Terrace. They should not be viewed as
standing alone but. rather in concert with the more specific guidelines found in the subsequent
section of these guidelines.
17
Each guideline should be considered for how it applies to a given project in creating a "village"
atmosphere. The illustrated examples are intended as images, which communicate ideas and
should not be viewed as design solutions necessitating strict adherence.
1. Desirable Elements
The qualities and design elements for commercial buildings (including offices) on
Barton Road that are potentially most desirable include:
. richness of surface and texture
! significant wall articulation (insets, canopies, wing walls, arcades, trellises,
porches, dormers, etc)
multi planed,pitched roofs ,
roof overhangs
regular or traditional window 44
]
rhythm
articulated mass and bulk
• interesting and articulated wall
t :
surfaces r
wood siding, wood shingles (wall)
brick and stucco accents (wall) --�-=--
wood shingles and tile (roofi
2. Undesirable Elements
Potentially undesirable elements include:
• highly reflective surfaces ;ys_
large blank, unarticulated stucco wall surfaces _ _ 4
unpainted concrete precision block walls
• reflective glass '
• corrugated metal siding on the main fagade
plastic sidingt
irregular, modernistic window shapes and rhythm
{
® square "boxlike"buildings
• standing seam metal walls on the main fagade
. mix of unrelated styles (i.e. rustic wood shingles and polished chrome)
3. Exterior Wall Materials Palette
The following palette of exterior wall materials is strongly encouraged:
• wood siding (horizontal or vertical or diagonal)
• wood shake
river cobble
slate
brick (natural colors)
® stucco (as an accent only, extensive use not appropriate)
clay the (natural colors)

The following materials are discouraged as primary exterior wall materials:
natural, unfinished concrete
• stucco
corrugated metal
• reflective glass
0 standing seam metal walls
plywood(painted or otherwise)
corrugated Fiberglass
• illuminated sidings and awnings
plastic laminate
r un-milled, bare aluminum
painted white brick
s unpainted concrete block/precision block
4. Height
Building heights should relate to open spaces to allow maximum sun and ventilation,
protection from prevailing winds, enhance public views of surrounding rural hillsides
and minimize obstruction of view from adjoining structures.
Height and scale of new development should be compatible with that of surrounding
development. New development height should "transition" from the height of adjacent
development to the maximum height of the proposed building.
19
5. Bulk
Large buildings which give the appearance of "square box" buildings are generally
unattractive and detract from the overall scale of most buildings along Barton Road.
There are several ways to reduce the appearance of excessive bulk in large buildings.
Vary the planes of the exterior walls in depth and/or direction.
Vary the height of the buildings so that it appears to be divided into distinct
massing elements.
Articulate the different parts of a building's facade by use of color, arrangement
offacade elements, or a change in materials.
Use landscaping and architectural detailing at the ground level to lessen the
impact of an otherwise bulky building.
• Avoid blank walls at the ground floor levels. Utilize windows, trellises, wall
articulation, arcades, change in materials, or other features.

6. Scale
For purposes of this plan, "scale" is the relationship between building size and the size
of adjoining permanent structures. It is also how the proposed building's size relates to
the size of a human being. Large scale building elements may appear imposing if they
are situated in a visual environment of a smaller scale as is typical in along Barton
Road. The key idea here is "pedestrian scale".
20
• Building scale can be reduced through window patterns, structural bays, roof
overhangs, siding, awnings, moldings,fixtures, and other details.
• The scale of buildings should be carefully related to adjacent pedestrian areas
(i.e.plazas, courtyards) and buildings.
• Large dominating buildings should be broken up by: 1) creating horizontal
emphasis through the use of brim; 2) adding awnings, eaves, windows, or other
architectural ornamentation; 3) use of combinations of complementary colors;
and 4) landscape materials.

• Utilize "infill" structures to create transitions in bulk and scale between large
buildings and adjacent smaller buildings.
7. Color
Color can dramatically affect the visual appearance of buildings and must be carefully
considered in relation to the overall design intent of the building. Color can also affect
the apparent scale and proportion of buildings by highlighting architectural elements
such as doors, windows, fascias, cornices, lintels, and sills.
Dominant Building Color -Much of the existing color in Grand Terrace is derived
from the primary building's finish materials such as brick, wood, stucco, and terra cotta
tile. Also dominant are earth tones which match these natural materials.
• The dominant color of new buildings should relate to the inherent color of the
primary building's finish materials.
• Large areas of intense white color should be avoided. While subdued colors
usually work best as a dominant overall color, a bright trim color might be
appropriate if it can be shown to enhance the nearby visual environment.
• The color palette chosen for a building should be compatible with the colors of
adjacent buildings. An exception is where the colors of adjacent buildings
strongly diverge from these design guidelines.
• Wherever possible, minimize the number of colors appearing on the building
exterior. Small commercial buildings should use no more than three colors.
21
Accent Colors- Depending on the overall color scheme, an accent color may be
effective in highlighting the dominant color by providing contrast or by harmonizing
with the dominant color.
• Primary colors shall only be used to accent building elements, such as door and
window frames and architectural details. Bright or intense colors (not including
fluorescent colors) can also be used to accent appropriate scale and proportion
or to promote visual interest in harmony with the immediate environment.
• In buildings of a particular historical character or village architectural style,
exterior color should be similar to typical buildings of this type.
• Architectural detailing should be painted to complement the facade and tie in
'T with adjacent buildings.
• Accent colors for trim should be used sparingly and be limited in number for
each building. Accent colors on adjacent buildings should be chosen to
complement one another.
Color Palette - The dominant color of new buildings constructed on Barton Road shall
be similar to the inherent color of eallhtones found in the area. The following colors
should not be used as primary wall colors.
• Aquamarine
• bright or hunters orange
• chartreuse
• cherry,or 'fire engine"red
• chrome yellow
• all day-glo colors
• purple
• turquoise
• fluorescent colors
The following soft earthtone colors are recommended as primary wall colors:
• almond
• bluegrass
• brick
• burgundy
cedar beige
• chamois
• cobblestone
• cordovan
• cream
driftwood gray
• gray
• Monterey pine
• peacock green
• puce
• rose quartz
• topaz
Other colors within the above color scheme may also be acceptable.
22
8. Exterior Walls
• Buildings shall be designed to avoid simple "boxlike" structures. Horizontal or
vertical wall articulation shall be expressed through the use of full roofs,
projecting wing walls, wall offsets, recessed entries, awnings, roof overhangs,
second floor setbacks, or covered arcades.
• All building sides should be painted and contain architectural treatment
previously, discussed.
• Freestanding buildings with walls at or less than 100 feet from a curb line
should not have continuous, visually unbroken walls. The front plane of the wall
shall be a maximum of sixty feet in length, at which point horizontal or vertical
articulation is required. This articulation could be established through the use
of varying front wall setbacks, multi planed roofs, second floor setbacks,
porches, arcades, awnings, recessed entries, wing walls, roof overhangs, etc.
• Freestanding buildings should exhibit a minimum of a one to one "void to solid"
ratio on at least two building facades. This means that two of the walls shall be
at least 50% wall to 50% window or door opening. The remaining two walls
shall be articulated in some manner.

9. Windows
• In general require the first floor of all commercial structures to have sufficient
areas of glass to give an open, public character to Barton Road in keeping with
the "village"atmosphere.
• Large, continuous expanses of glass without careful detailing give an urban
character and should be avoided. Glass areas can be subdivided by mullions,
panes, or decorative millwork to reduce a window to human scale.
• Horizontal repetition of single window elements over long distances should be
avoided.
23
• To maintain a distinction between upper and lower floors,. the ground level
facade should have larger patterns of glass than the upper.
• Bay, bow and box windows can be used to add visual interest to a facade by
providing variety, shadow and texture. They also become focal points for
merchandising and help reduce large windows to a more human scale.
• The pattern, size and type of window used should be appropriate to the
character of the building.
0 Tinted glass can be used to reduce solar gain; however, deeply tinted glass
which stops views into the interior should be avoided. Highly reflective glass is
not appropriate.
Window frames can be constructed of numerous materials including steel;
anodized aluminum, wood, wood and metal and vinyl-covered wood; however,
the materials and finish of the frame should be appropriate to the overall
building character. Silver and gold colored aluminum frames should be avoided
in favor of black or brown anodized colors.
A
10. Roofs
• The roofline at the top of the structure should not run in continuous
plane for more than 100'without offsetting or jogging the roofplane.
• Nearly vertical roofs (A frames) and piecemeal mansard roofs (used on
a portion of the building perimeter only) are discouraged. Mansard
roofs, if utilized on commercial structures, shall wrap around the entire
building perimeter.
• All roof top equipment shall be screened from public view by screening
materials of the same nature as the building's basic materials.
Mechanical equipment should be located below the highest vertical
element of the building.
• The following roof materials are not acceptable:
o corrugated metal
o high contrast or brightly colored glazed tile
o highly reflective surfaces
o illuminated roofing
24
• Dormers, when appropriate to the character of the building, can be used
to add interest to the roofline and to introduce natural light into the
building.
• Roofing materials that are most appropriate to the "village"character of
Barton Road are heavy wood shingles and terra cotta tile. Concrete roof
tiles in neutral colors may also be appropriate.

11. Awnings
• General use of awnings along a row of contiguous buildings shall be restricted
to awnings of the same form and location. Color of the awnings shall be
consistent and a minimum eight foot vertical clearance is required.
• Signage on awnings shall be permanently attached to the awnings themselves
and be restricted to the awning's flap (valance) or to the end panels of angled,
curved, or box awnings.
• Plexiglas, metal, and glossy vinyl illuminated awnings are prohibited. Canvas,
treated canvas, matte finish vinyl, and fabric awnings are encouraged.
• Internally lit awnings are not acceptable.
D. Site Planning
Placement of buildings should consider the existing built context of the commercial
area; the location of incompatible land uses, the location of major traffic generators, as
well as an analysis of a site's characteristics and particular influences.
1. General Design Principles
• Buildings should be sited in a manner that will complement the adjacent buildings.
Building sites should be developed in a coordinated manner to provide order and
diversity and avoid a junnbled, confused development.
• Whenever possible, new buildings should be clustered. This creates plazas or
pedestrian malls and prevents long "barracks-like" rows of buildings. When clustering
is impractical, a visual link between separate buildings should be established between
buildings. This link can be accomplished through the use of an arcade system, trellis, or
other open structure.
25
Locate buildings and on-site circulation systems to minimize pedestrianlvehicle
conflicts where possible. Link buildings to the public sidewalk where possible with
textured paving, landscaping, and trellises.
• Recognize the importance of spaces between buildings as "outdoor rooms" on the site.
Outdoor spaces should have clear, recognizable shapes that reflect careful planning
and are not simply 'left over" areas between buildings. Such spaces should provide
pedestrian amenities such as shade, benches,fountains, etc.
• Freestanding, singular commercial structures should be oriented with their major entry
toward the street where access is provided, whenever feasible, as well as having their
major facade parallel to the street.

2. Setback Standards
To ensure the functional enhancement of major streets and safety of the traveling public
as it pertains to adequate visibility, approval shall not be given for any building or
structure to be located within the designated building setback of a major street as
established by district regulations contained in this Specific Plan.
• Building setback lines are established by the Barton Road Corridor Specific
Plan for front, side and rear yard provisions depending on the particular land
use district designation.
3. Open Space
Open space for purposes of these design guidelines is considered the portion of the lot
where there are no buildings, parking, or area included in required setbacks. These areas
shall be either fully landscaped or hardscaped in a decorative paving material utilizing
patterned/colored concrete or pavers.
• Open space areas shall be clustered into larger, predominant landscape areas
rather than equally distributing them into areas of low impact such as at
building peripheries behind a structure or areas of little impact to the public
26
view, where they are not required as a land use buffer or as'a required yard
setback.
4. Land Use Buffering
Commercial development on properties adjoining any residential zone shall incorporate
the following standards in addition to those standards already specified in the site
development standards of this Specific Plan.
• A six-foot opaque wall shall be placed on or just inside the property line. A five
foot landscape strip area will be provided on the inside of the wall. The wall
should be lowered to three feet within the front setback.
• Evergreen trees, having a minimum size of 15 gallons, shall be planted at least
20 feet on center, depending on species, .or clustered in equal amounts to screen
parking or architecture.

5. Lighting
• Maximum height for building and freestanding lighting shall not exceed 18'.
• If property is adjacent to a residential area or residentially zoned property, the
lighting shall be screened from these areas.
• Lighting shall be directed away from adjacent roadways and shall not interfere
with traffic or create a safety hazard.
27

6. Site Grading
Site grading must recognize existing drainage patterns, while functionally solving
drainage problems that may exist or result from ground plane alterations during
construction. Likewise, site grading must be sympathetic to existing land forms while
providing appropriate transition, of architectural elements to grade. Site grading must
also provide for an uninterrupted flow of vehicular and pedestrian traffic through the
development. The plan must direct and provide adequate flow of surface run-off to
catch basins while gracefully contouring the land to blend with existing conditions at
the boundaries of the site.
E. Parking and Circulation
Parking lot design can be a critical factor in the success or failure' of-a commercial use. In
considering the possibilities for developing a new parking area, a developer should analyze
the following factors: ingress and egress with consideration to possible conflicts with street
traffic; pedestrian and vehicular conflicts; on-site circulation and service vehicle zones; and
the overall configuration and appearance of the parking area.
1. General Design Principles
All commercial parking areas shall be designed in accordance with Chapter 18.6 of the Zoning
Ordinance unless otherwise stated in this Specific Plan.
Office and commercial parking lots and access drives should be designed utilizing the criteria
shown in the following exhibits.
Parking lot plans shall incorporate the following as appropriate:
• Dimensions for internal spacing, vehicle circulation and landscaped areas
• Curbing, stall marking, signing,pedestrian crossings, and other vehicular devices.
• Location of lighting fixtures
• Location of trash enclosures
• Location of drainage inlets
28
• Luculiurn UJ JI e rnyururnw
• Location of landscaped areas
• Material design of perimeter walls
• Utility cabinets and transformers
• Bike racks
• Spot elevations
• If future expansion is expected, space must be reserved for future parking.
• Whenever a driveway is abandoned, the owner shall remove all driveway pavements,
replace the curb, and landscape the area to match the adjacent landscaping.
• Any on-street parking shall not count in meeting parking spaces required.
• Parking areas shall be separated from buildings by either a raised concrete walkway or
landscaped strip with a six inch curb. Situations where parking spaces directly abut the
buildings shall be avoided.
• Where reciprocal parking and/or access agreement are planned, show how these
situations relate to the proposed development.
2. Parking Area Design
• All parking spaces should be clearly and permanently outlined on the surface of the
parking facility.
• Handicapped parking stalls shall be so located that a handicapped person is not
compelled to wheel or walk behind parked cars other than their own. Also, the path of
travel from the parking area to the building area for handicapped persons shall not
exceed a maximum slope of 1:12.
• Parking lot design should provide for connection to adjacent parcels where uses are
compatible and said connection is practical.
• Locate parking area to the sides and rear of buildings whenever possible.
• Parking facilities shall be designed in such a manner that any vehicle on the property
will be able to maneuver as necessary so that it may exit from the property traveling in
a forward direction.
• Off-street parking facilities shall be designed so that a car within a facility will not have
to enter a street to move from one location to any other location within the same
parking facility.
• Parking areas which accommodate a significant number of vehicles should be divided
into a series of connected smaller lots. Landscaping and offsetting portions of the lot
are effective in reducing the visual impact of large parking areas.

(or the less busy street) to maximize landscaping and minimize pedestrianlvehicular
conflicts whenever possible. Design major site entries with appropriately patterned
concrete or pavers to differentiate them the sidewalks.
• Site access points, whether located on major or side streets should be located as far as
possible from street intersections 1 00 feet is recommended and is required at the Barton
Road/Mt. Vernon Avenue intersection along Barton Road.
• Encourage projects to incorporate reciprocal access easements to improve internal
vehicular movements.
• Link individual projects and parking areas with on-site driveways which are clearly
identified and easily recognized as connectors.
• Where parking areas are connected, interior circulation should allow for a similar
direction of travel and parking bays in all areas to reduce conflict at points of
connection.
• Access roads and/or driveways for commercial developments should be located at least
200 feet apart. Also, access drives and/or driveways should be located a minimum of 10
feet from property lines.

4. Circulation
• Design parking areas so that pedestrians walk parallel to moving cars.
Minimize the need for the pedestrian to cross aisles. Design the parking lot so
that drive aisles are perpendicular to the majority of buildings or major tenant.
• Vehicular circulation through a parking facility should be directed away from
fire lanes (typically adjacent to the back of stores) to the outer edge of the
parking lot where there is less pedestrian traffic.
• The parking area should be designed in a manner which links the building to the
street sidewalk system as an extension of the pedestrian environment. This can
be accomplished by using design features such as walkways with enhanced
paving, trellis structures, and/or landscaping treatments.
• Driveway entry throats should be at least 25 feet wide, and preferably 30 to 35
feet wide, so that an entering vehicle does not interfere with an exiting vehicle.
Narrower driveway throats lead to conflict between entering and exiting
vehicles, causing one to stop and wait for the other.
• Parking areas should have a minimum number of entrances and exits to
minimize conflicts at entries and reduce possible congestion at street
intersections.
• The first parking stall which is perpendicular to a driveway or first aisle
juncture, shall be at least 40 feet back from the curb. With larger centers,
significantly more setback area may be required. The reason for this
recommendation is to provide a queuing area off the street so that if a vehicle is
parking in or leaving the stall nearest the street, there is room for at least one
vehicle to- queue while waiting for the other vehicle. Without this provision
vehicles will queue into the street.
• Parking spaces shall not block access to the trash enclosure.
• Location of trash enclosures should not interfere with parking or circulation
area and should be located to minimize their visibility while not hindering
access for trash pick-up.

5. Screening of Parking Areas
Where practical, lowering the grade of the parking lot from existing elevations
may aid in obscuring views of automobiles while promoting views of
architectural elements.
Utilize a 36" high opaque wall or landscaping to screen any parking at the
street periphery. A combination of walls, berms, and landscape material is
highly recommended.
6. Bicycle and Pedestrian Linkage
Whenever possible, linkages between commercial facilities and adjacent
residential areas should be provided to encourage pedestrian and bicycle
circulation and increase overall safety. Bicycle travel along Barton Road is not
encouraged.
Commercial facilities should provide bicycle storage racks at the rate of one
rack per each thirty five (35) vehicle parking spaces. These should be provided
in accordance with provisions contained in Appendix E.
All bicycle and pedestrian linkages must be well lighted and designed to provide
a high level of security.

F. Sign Regulations
1. Required Compliance
The purpose of the sign regulations is to provide the means for adequate identification
of buildings and businesses by regulating and controlling the design, size, and location
of all signs within the Specific Plan area. All signs within the Barton Road Specific
Plan area shall comply with the sign provisions of Chapter 18.80 (Signs) of the City of
Grand Terrace Zoning Code, but with the following exceptions:
32
Village Commercial (VC) District
o Single Tenant Facilities — Wall or canopy signs shall not exceed 75
square feet based upon an area of one square foot of sign area per each
lineal foot of building street frontage.
o Multiple Tenant Facilities — Wall and canopy signs shall not exceed 50
square feet based upon one square foot of sign for each lineal foot of
building street frontage.
o Monument type signs shall not exceed 24 square feet for any parcel with
less than 300 feet of street frontage and a maximum size of 32 square
feet for any parcel with 300 feet or more of street frontage. They shall
not exceed a height of six (6) feet above grade.
• General Commercial (GC)District
o Multiple Tenant Facilities - Monument type signs shall not exceed 24
square feet for any parcel with less than 300 feet of street frontage and a
maximum size of 32 square feet for any parcel with 300 feet or more of
street frontage. They shall not exceed a height of six (6) feet above
grade.
2. Sign Modifications
The Community Development Director may approve a sign that does not strictly
adhere to the sign provisions of the Chapter 18.80 of the City Zoning Code and
an exception noted above where such sign is compatible with the surrounding
development and is in harmony with the general aesthetics and welfare of the
local area.
® The Planning Commission has the authority to allow deviations from the sign
ordinance to approve creative and innovative sign programs or sign solutions
under exceptional or unusual circumstances.
G. Specific Freestanding Building Design Guidelines
1. Design Issues
This category includes buildings housing a single use (possible two) which are designed
to stand apart from adjacent buildings usually located in a center. These buildings may
range in size from the tiny fast food drive-in to a hotel. Since various uses within
freestanding buildings have different design problems or opportunities, these nuances
must be considered.
There are several design issues related to freestanding buildings which are not shared by
the other categories:
Freestanding buildings generally are viewed from all sides so that landscaping
and building materials must be considered on all sides of the buildings.
Freestanding buildings generally are smaller than the strip commercial centers
or shopping centers and can be overshadowed by them.
33
• Freestanding buildings have more opportunity for signs, but signs can easily
overwhelm the building.
• A freestanding building usually has its own parking lot typically with its own
access point(s) and often is segregated from adjacent lots.
2. Design Guidelines
Use Distinctive Massing -Food service establishments, offices, and financial
institutions offer the best opportunity for varied building massing and such
variation is encouraged to add interest to the environment.
Use Intimate Scale -Commercial establishments, offices, and financial
institutions emphasize personal service as their primary products. These
structures should reflect personal service by their architectural design which
provides intimate, people-oriented scale at entries and interior spaces. Building
components such as windows, wood doors, and decorative trim should
emphasize the intimate scale in coordination with each other and the building
scale.
Limit Visual Impression of Height -The maximum height of proposed projects
shall be consistent with the established regulations of this Specific Plan.
However, commercial establishments should limit the visual impression of
height by use of roof treatments, varying the plane of exterior walls and/or
stepping back upper floors where feasible.
Design for Public View -Each wall surface of a freestanding building which is
visible to the public will be treated as a primary facade and will be designed for
public view (i.e. public streets, right-of-ways, alleys, public parking areas, parks,
etc.).
Landscaping and screening of areas needed for services, such as deliveries or
trash collection is required. Other appurtenances such as ground mechanical
units, utility boxes, back-flow prevention devices, and similar equipment shall
either be screened or blended with surrounding area.

Use Varied Textures -New buildings are encouraged to include alternative treatments
where these promote an intimate scale and add to the "village" character identified for
Barton Road. Utilize wood shingles, clapboard, or board and batten siding. The textures
should be limited to one or two primary materials with roofs and glass making up the
remainder of textural variety. Brick accents are appropriate.
Use Related Colors -Buildings shall be reviewed in terms of colors used. Colors should
be related to those dominant in the immediate sphere. The use of all earth tones (not just
shades of brown) indigenous to Grand Terrace is strongly encouraged, including the
natural colors of brick and tile.
Screen Mechanical Equipment -All rooftop mechanical equipment shall be located at
a distance from the edge of the building so as not to be visible from the pedestrian level
or from adjacent roadways. If such units must be placed in a visible location for
functional reasons, they shall be screened in a manner consistent with the building
facade.

H. Specific Strip Commercial Center Design Guidelines
1. Design Issues
This category includes buildings housing more than two uses or tenants, which
are designed as a single-unit oriented to a central parking area. In responding to
the needs of individual tenants, these buildings often have the greatest problems
with maintaining consistency in material and signage.
Design issues associated with strip developments include:
® A need to provide storefront visibility and access for a number of
tenants.
35
• A need to provide signage identifying a number of different tenants.
• A need for individuality in storefront designs and signage.
• A need to provide landscaping to soften the building bulk without hiding
signage or architectural 'features".
• A need to provide convenient shared parking often located between the
street and the primary building facade.

2. Design Guidelines
Use Similar Massing -The massing of new strip developments should
emphasize in a change from the once monotonous, unarticulated building
facades of many older 50's type strip developments. The use of arches, arcades,
porches, roof overhangs, full roofs, and varying facade setbacks are strongly
encouraged to add variety to the simple block-like massing of many existing
strip developments.
Use Consistent Scale -The scale within a strip development snail be consistent
throughout the development. Where anchor or major tenants require larger
building areas, the larger scale of these units shall be broken-down into units
comparable to the predominant unit in the development. The use of vertical
focal points such as towers and cupolas are strongly encouraged to emphasize
the village atmosphere of Barton Road. These, however, need to be carefully
designed and integrated within the overall village theme. Fad architectural styles
must be avoided.
Use Consistent Textures and Colors -All storefronts within a strip
development shall utilize a consistent palette of materials and textures. While
generally this will mean a continuous treatment of the entire strip frontage, it is
acceptable to vary individual storefronts within a given palette of materials. For
example, brick bulkheads under shop windows could alternate with wood
treatments where there is a variation in the plane of the facade, which correlates
to such changes in materials.
36
I
f r
Use Height for Balance -Anchor stores, which are typically taller than the strip
stores, can be used to create balance within the development. The placement of
anchor stores shall consider the overall effect of balance for the strip.
Limit Emphasis -The height and scale of an anchor store will automatically
create an emphasis for the strip development. The use of textures, colors and
materials on the anchor store shall be consistent with that of the other stores in
the center to avoid dissimilar massing and proportions.
Maintain Similar Proportions -The proportion of the major elements of a
development shall be consistent throughout. These elements include windows,
doors, and storefront design. For example, if multi-paned windows are used, the
entire development must use multi-paned windows.
Screen Mechanical Equipment -All rooftop mechanical equipment shall be
located at a distance from the edge of the building so as not to be visible from
the pedestrian level or from adjacent roadways. If such units must be placed in a
visible location for functional reasons, they shall be screened in a matter
consistent with the building's facade. Many rooftops are also visible from
adjacent properties; in such cases, all rooftop equipment shall be at least
screened from view using opaque walls or other appropriate materials consistent
with the building's walls.
I. Landscape Guidelines
Landscaping in the Barton Road Corridor Specific Plan Area shall achieve three specific ends:
one, to unify and establish a village theme; two, to soften the auto oriented new commercial
development; three, to unify Barton Road as a pleasant environment for residents and visitors
alike. These three ends will be accomplished by a highly recognizable use of repeated planting
treatments. Consistency and continuity within the street right-of-way and building setback areas
is extremely important.
New development in the Specific Plan Area shall comply with the following landscape
guidelines.
1. Landscaped Area Ratio
37
A minimum of one 15 gallon size tree (25 feet in height or more at maturity) for
every 625 square feet of landscaping, and one shrub or vine for every 50 square
feet of landscaping are considered necessary.
2. Irrigation
Y
Provide complete automatic sprinkler or drip irrigation systems for all projects.
3. Maintenance
Keep all plantings healthy and growing with all planting areas free of weeds and
debris.
4. Trees, shrubs, and vines
Trees shall be 15-gallon size having a minimum height of eight feet at time of
planting. Shrubs shall be a minimum of 1-gallon size at time of planting. The
tree shall be adequate in trunk diameter to support the top. Trees, shrubs, and
vines shall have body and fullness that is typical of the species.
5. Ground Cover
The ground cover shall be healthy, densely foliated, and well-rooted cuttings, or
one gallon container plants. Herbaceous and flat plant ground covers shall be
planted no more than 12 inches on center and woody shrub ground cover shall
be planted no more than four feet on center.'
6. Spacing
The spacing of trees and shrubs shall be appropriate to the species used. The
plant materials shall be spaced so that they do not interfere with the adequate
lighting of the premises or restrict access to emergency apparatus such as fire
hydrants or fire alarm boxes. Proper spacing shall also insure unobstructed
access for vehicles and pedestrians in addition to providing clear vision of the
intersections from approaching vehicles.
Plant material shall conform to the following spacing standards:
• A minimum of 25 feet from the property corner at a street intersection to
the center of the first tree or large shrub.
• A minimum of 15 feet between center of trees and large shrubs to light
standards. .A minimum of 15 feet between center of trees or large shrubs
and fire hydrants.
• A minimum of 10 feet between center of trees or large shrubs and edge of
driveway.
38
7. General Guidelines
• Save existing mature trees where possible (some may be moved and
transplanted, i.e. palms, pines, etc) Approval must be obtained for
removal of all trees having a trunk diameter of 10 inches or more
measured 48 inches above existing grade.
• Use specimen trees (boxed trees)for immediate effect and accent.
• Give consideration to rapidly growing trees.
• Emphasize use of varieties which require low maintenance and drought
tolerant species in public and commercial areas and in large landscape
areas.
• Use boxed and tubbed plants in clay or wood containers, especially for
enhancement of sidewalk shops.
• Give preference to ground covers which require little maintenance.
"Authentic"flower and vegetable gardens may be developed to add to
the village character.
• Vines and climbing plants integrated upon buildings, trellises, and
perimeter garden walls are strongly encouraged. A few plants to
consider for this purpose are: bougainvillea, grape ivy, and wisteria
vines.
• Use color plantings at the base of building, in planter boxes and focal
points.

J. Planning Areas
For the purpose of presenting and discussing the Specific Plan's land use concept, the
plan area has been divided into three Planning Areas. Each Planning Area is
characterized by a particular land use emphasis and different requirements related to
land use and site planning. The three Planning Areas are shown in Exhibit 5, Zoning
Map. Permitted uses within each Planning Area/Zoning District are summarized in
Appendix 1, Land Use Matrix. If a proposed land use is not listed in the Land Use
Matrix, a determination of consistency may be made by the Community Development
39
oirector. it appropriate, the consistency Imaing may oe relerrcu w IIM rlawillIg
Commission for a finding.
Planning Area 1 - General Commercial District (GC)
Descriptive Summary
Planning Area 1 is closest to the 1-215 Freeway and consists mainly .of
residential uses, a school and some strip commercial. It is an area in transition
with several residential structures having been converted to commercial uses.
Lot consolidation and new commercial development are the primary focus for
Planning Area 1.
This Planning Area will focus upon a wide variety of uses that typically include
supermarkets, drug stores, variety stores, apparel shops, appliance and furniture
stores, and commercial recreation uses. Because of its adjacency to the freeway,
this district would also permit traveler related uses such as hotels, motels, and
restaurants.
Land Use and Development Standards
a. Maximum Building Height
The maximum allowable building height in the GC district shall be 28
feet. Architectural building elements such as towers and roof ridge lines
may extend to 35 feet if no habitable space is provided above 28 feet.
b. Minimum Street Frontage
The minimum street frontage for any development site in the GC district
is 100 feet.
C. Maximum Lot Coverage
The maximum allowable lot coverage by structures may be 100 percent
less required parking, setbacks, and landscaping. Lot coverage shall
include all enclosed building area. Atriums open to the sky or plazas,
open parking, and hardscaped areas shall not constitute lot coverage.

rianning Area z — vniage t.�ommerciai (vt,)
Descriptive Summary
Planning Area 2 is Grand Terrace's existing commercial core. It contains
primarily commercial uses with some office type uses. The Stater Bros.
neighborhood shopping center and the Town and Country Plaza, a mixed retail
and office center, are two of the most significant developments in the area. The
general quality of uses and structures in this Planning Area is good; however,
several older structures will need to be upgraded or replaced. The main focus for
Planning Area 2 will be the creation of a downtown "village" atmosphere with
an upgrading of retail commercial uses to take advantage of identified
opportunities in the community retail market. Some consolidation of parcels will
be required at the northwest corner of Barton Road and Mt. Vernon in order for
that area to develop with the type of quality development envisioned by this
Specific Plan. The overall community design concept will emphasize the Barton
Road/Mt. Vernon intersection as the "heart" of downtown with strong urban
design features.
The Village Commercial Planning Area is designed to accommodate specialty_
uses such as cafes, bakeries, gift shops, florist shops, bookstores, and other
similar commercial retail uses of a scale and quality that are compatible with a
pedestrian-oriented village atmosphere. Other, more general-type commercial
uses, such as hardware, hobby, furniture, and appliance stores are also permitted,
but subject to strict design standards. Similar uses requiring larger floor areas
are more appropriate in the General Commercial District.
a. Maximum Building Height
The maximum allowable building height in the VC district shall be 28
feet. Architectural building elements such as towers and roof ridge lines
may extend to 35 feet if no habitable space is provided above 28 feet.

Manning Area s - Aaministrative ana vroTessionai UTTice (AF)
Descriptive Summary
Planning Area 3 is anchored by the City Hall and consists primarily of small
office uses. West of City Hall uses are predominantly residential with a mixture
of single family and multiple family dwellings. The main emphasis for Planning
Area 3 will be the continued development of office uses and support service
commercial uses. In recognizing the presence of existing multi-family
residential projects south of Barton Road along side streets within the Planning
Area, such uses will be permitted to remain and in-fill properties allowed to
develop subject to strict design standards and permitting processes. Special
provisions are provided for the development of infill multi-family properties.
Opportunities exist to consolidate some single family lots for office
development.
This land use district is intended to accommodate professional/administrative
office uses and personal service uses as opposed to other commercial retail uses.
Typically, uses include medical and health care clinics, travel agencies,
insurance agencies, and copy centers. Other consistent uses include executive,
management, administrative, or clerical uses, including the establishment of

Staff Report- AMENDED
MEETING DATE: December 11, 2003
SUBJECT: SECOND READING OF AN
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF GRAND TERRACE, CALIFORNIA,
AMENDING TITLE 4 OF THE GRAND TERRACE
MUNICIPAL CODE AND ESTABLISHING ANIMAL
CONTROL AND LICENSING FEES
NO FUNDING REQUIRED: (X)
BACKGROUND:
At the July 22, 2003 Grand Terrace City Council Meeting,the council approved a new
Animal Control Contract with the City of Colton. This contract began November 1,
2003.
Staff has been working closely with the Colton Police Department, who administer the
Animal Control contract for both Colton and Grand Terrace. Both city staffs have been
working on bringing our municipal codes and fees schedules up to date.
The proposed Fee Schedule has been updated to include multi-year discounts and
flexibility in the rates for dogs that cannot be spayed/neutered. The licensing rates for
dogs are the same as those charged by the previous animal control contractor, The County
of San Bernardino.
Staff has added a Disabled Citizen Discount for Spay/Neutered dogs and has
changed the Spayed/Neutered fee schedule to match the County of San Bernardino's
fee schedule. The previous Spayed/Neutered fee schedule was from the City of
Colton.
The proposed Fee Schedule was discussed at the October 23, 2003 and the November 13,
2003 council meetings. Council Staff was directed to further research the AVID
FriendChip program. Staff met with a representative from the AVID Company. Since
Grand Terrace is a non-profit government, the city was able to purchase the micro-chips
at a heavily discounted rate. In addition, AVID was able to reduce the one-time national
registration plan costs considerably:
C01,.[MC0L AaEpti:�,P,A 9TEFPQ DI0. ��
AVID Program
For-Profit Veterinarian Rate
$15 for the micro-chip
$10 to implant the chip
$15 for the national registry
$40 TOTAL COST
City of Grand Terrace Rate
$5.25 for the micro-chip
$8 to implant the chip
$5 for the national registry
$18.25 TOTAL COST
The AVID Company donated one portable micro-chip scanner to the city and the city
purchased one for$199. Both scanners will be used by our contracted Animal Control
Officers to scan all loose pets. If the pet was found to have a micro-chip and live in
Grand Terrace, the pet would be delivered back to its home.
Licensing will not begin until January 2004 and be done annually thereafter. There will
be two animal licensing clinics in January 2004, one on Wednesday, January 14th in the
evening, and one on Saturday, January 17th, in the morning. Mailers will be sent to every
home announcing the new licensing program. Current licensees and dog owners that
have not renewed their dog licenses will receive a personal letter from Community
Services on the importance of licensing their pets.
Council requested reducing the apprehension fees from$40 to $30 for the first time
offense if the pet had a micro-chip implant. If the pet did not have an implant,the first
time fee would be$50. Staff addressed these changes in the updated fee schedule.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adopting the attached ordinance amending Title 4 of the City of Grand
Terrace Municipal Code and establishing the attached Animal Control and Licensing Fees
Schedule.
Staff recommends that residents have the option of choosing an electronic chip implant
program for their pets. These implants will be available at all pet licensing clinics held in
Grand Terrace.
