CRA ITEM ( ) COUNCIL ITEM (X ) MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 28, 2002
FUNDING REQUIRED: ( ) NO FUNDING REQUIRED : (X)
SUBJECT: Grand Terrace Consolidated
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Priority List
RECOMMENDATION: Please prioritize projects and return to Staff as soon as
possible for tabulation, review, and approval at the
workshop.
BACKGROUND/PROPOSAL:
Staff and the City Council have worked hard to prioritize all City Capital Improvement
` Projects to provide guidance to Staff in three major areas:
1. To prepare the Measure I CIP, the Regional Transportation Improvement Plan
(RTIP) submittal for Grand Terrace, and the Circulation Fee CIP.
2. To assist with budget decisions.
3. To prioritize projects for which•grants are to be pursued.
Therefore, this document is inclusive of all transportation and non-transportation
Capital Projects.
APPROVAUNEXT STEPS:
1. Complete priortization of projects and return to staff prior to the workshop.
2. Conduct workshop for review and potential approval of the priority list.
3. Onde the prioritization is approved, Staff should process a Resolution for the
formal approval of the Circulation Fee CIP. Even though--the Fee Ordinance will
eventually be amended to reflect the City Council's desires, the Circulation Fee
CIP is required to be in place to regulate fees already collected and fees to be
collected in the interim. (Craig Neustaedter and Larry Ronnow should join forces
on this subject).
22795 Barton Road • Grand Terrace, California 92313-5295 • (909) 824-6621
i
4. Prioritization will be reflected in the actual five year Grand Terrace Consolidated
CIP Spreadsheet, listing projects descriptions and costs, and graphic illustration;
including all city programs, i.e., Measure I, RTIP, etc. This will likely be put
together by the Community and Economic Development Staff.
5. The plan is for the CIP Spreadsheet to be incorporated into an overall GT
Consolidated C;IP Packet (John Donlevy's original packet), with tabs and text
description for each program, along with the financial/fiscal/feasibility evaluation
report as a reality check and plan of action.
i
This project is "work in progress". Please feel free to add or delete, and make any
alterations. Steve Berry will be at the workshop and will respond to any questions on
projects included in priority list items: la, lb, Ic, le, If, Ilia, Illb, Illc, Illd, and Ille. Jerry
Glander will also be available to answer any question with regard to items: Id. I will be
available to respond to questions for all other items, which include the bike lanes and
safe routes to school. j
I
We are looking forward to receiving your prioritizations as soon as, possible so that we
can tabulate it and bring a revised priority sheet to the meeting.

Memorandum
To: Tom Schwab
Redevelopment Agency Board
From: Larry Ronnow
Subject: `lid-Year Adjustments - Redevelopment
Date: February 19, 2002
I am requesting revenue estimate revisions for the following accounts:
32-600-01, Interest Income - $190,000 Reduction
Due to the defeasance of TA 93 Series B bonds in September of 2001 amounting
to S5,080,606, the interest income on idle project funds used to defease the bonds
must also be reduced. The rate originally used ,;vas a nov,- high 4.5%, so this same
rate was used on the defeased amount for 10 months interest.
I am also requesting the following expenditure or fund balance adjustments:
32-010-00, CR_A, Project Fund Cash - $4,626,461 Reduction
This entry is required to reduce a�-ailable project cash and fund balance
accordingly. The difference between this amount and the defeased amount above
came from the debt service resen-e and redemption fund held by the fiscal agent.
33-300-203, TA 1993 Debt Service - $219,593 Reduction
Debt service for this fiscal year is reduced by the above amount.
32-370-255, Contract Services - S1,200
Reference the attached from.HdL. this appropriation is requested by both Finance
and Community Development/GIS for enhancing our statistical database. HdL
does an outstanding job of reporting sales tax data in a user-friendly format. The
City has utilized their services in the past for sales tax audits of all businesses
within city limits.

It was not determined at budget time if we would receive a similar amount
as was received last fiscal year. Prior to last year, the City averaged S30,100
for four fiscal years. Last year -,ve received $100,014. This adjustment brings
our estimate up to last year's_level, and it %vas received in October.

STAFF REPORT
CRA ITEM ( COUNCIL ITEM (X ) MEETING DATE: February 28, 2002
FUNDING REQUIRED: NO FUNDING REQUIRED : ►
SUBJECT: Geographic Information System (GIS) Program Status
RECOMMENDATION: Receh a and File
Achievements:
Since we received a large grant to develop the City's GIS (Geographic Information System), it
has proven to be an indispensable tool for conducting City business. Initially, the GIS was used
for high level analysis of infrastructure, and for generating maps and displays illustrating various
aspects of the City. Over the last year, the GIS has been further implemented on the public
counter in City Hall; used as a daily tool to provide information to City Staff and citizens. The
following information (data layers) is available at the public counter for free at this time (See
attachment A):
l. Property data—acreage, zoning, ownership, building square footage and year built
2. Sewer lines. se,,yer laterals, sewer easements, and manhole covers as well as digital
scans of all sewer as-built drawings
3. Aerial photos for any property in the City of Grand Terrace
4. Streets centerlines, street right-of-ways, railroads and rail spurs
5. Core commercial buildings with photographs
The GIS is actively being used b,, Steve Berry, Assistant City Manager for various public
improvements, Roberto Hernandez for Code Enforcement, John Lampe for both current and
advance planning cases, and by Steve Cumblidge and Jeff Gollihar for public information and
research at the front counter. Drago Barbu actively maintains the GIS and performs high level
analyses for a variety of projects.
The GIS has been used extensively by Steve Cumblidge in the Community and Economic
Development Department for querying land availability and -producing maps and displays to
facilitate the City's Economic Development Program (See attachments B-1 through B-5).
Dragos Barbu has been maintaining the GIS data on the City's network and has used the GIS to
illustrate the City's Capital Improvement Program.

Also in the last year, the sewer line data mapping project initiated by former Assistant City
Manager John Donlevy has been completed. with all sewer lir.es having been mapped and made
viewable as a data layer in the GIS. All sewer plans have been scanned and can be viewed in
electronic format as well. A desired goal was to have data available in the field for use in
emergencies, for regular maintenance, etc... This has vet to be implemented due to changes in
staffing.
What Comes Next?
Keeping the GIS data up to date:
GIS has become an indispensable tool for Grand Terrace. but it needs continued update and
maintenance. The initial set of GIS information (data) wvaj developed in 1998 and remains
largely the same today. The City- has subscribed with the San Bernardino Count- Geographic
Information Management Systems (GIMS) for updates to N arious data layers. principally the
parcel data layer. However. GIy1S is having difficult,, with their staffing and funding levels. and
is seriously behind in producing updated data for the count: as a whole. The City has not
received an update from San Bernardino County GIMS since 1999.
Fortunately, Grand Terrace has not changed greatly since 1999. and staff is managing to cope as
best as possible with the changes that have occurred. The City does subscribe with a private
company for current parcel ownership data (Property Pro) for use until Count, nets its act
together. Steve Cumblidge in the CEDD has linked the purchased Property Pro data with the
City's parcel data to provide more accurate ownership data. He has also been updating data,
cleaning up existing data layers, and developing new data lavers where and when possible.
The City acquired digital aerial ortho-photos in 1998. which are a principal component of the
City's GIS. The digital aerials are used to underlay the map layers and help greatly to
understand the relationships between the digital map information and the actual built
environment. A number of houses and buildings ha-,e been constructed since 1998, as well as
numerous room additions, patio covers, etc., which are not represented by the aerial photos. The
Citv should begin to budget for new digital aerial ortho-photos within the next two budget years.
Keeping the GIS Software up-to-date: -
GIS software is very expensive The initial software acquisition (ArcVie,,, A_rcInfo and
ArcIMS, etc...) was covered b% a generous grant from ESRI secured by Dragos Barbu in 1998.
Annual maintenance has been paid for by the City in order to keep technical support and to
receive periodic upgrades and technical fixes to existing software. However. as with all
technology, GIS software is constantly evolving and ch:aging. and ESRI has extensively
redesigned their GIS software within the last year (_AxcGIS) to include more tools and more
features than we have now. The City will have to upgrade to current software in order to keep up
with latest advances in GIS technology. Staff is working with ESRI to identify the most cost
effective way to keep the Cit,,-'s GIS software current. Fortunately, past expenditures for
maintenance means upgrades will not cost full price.
Acquiring more data:
The Year 2000 Census data will be acquired to illustrate the population and income
characteristics for Grand Terrace and surrounding areas. This data is needed to show the
economic development potential of Grand Terrace to potential businesses and developers.
The Riverside Highland Water Company has provided the water system data in CAD (Computer
Aided Drafting) format. Staff will be converting water system cad file data to GIS data so it will
be viewable as an additional data layer in the GIS.
Staff is also studying the best way to develop a digital terrain model so that the City can be
modeled in three dimensions for drainage and perhaps view shed analyses.
Expanded uses proposed for the GIS:
Staff is considering where to deploy GIS within the City when time and computer/software
assets become available, as well as for uses thatwill make a positive impact. One location for
GIS would be at the Building Department Public Counter and add building permit activity
tracking to the GIS data to further expedite deg elopment processing. Another use will be to
develop a Code Enforcement data layer to identify any geographic patterns to code .violations
and develop enforcement focus areas. And still another project in development is to use GIS in
conjunction with Finance Department for business license tracking and business license data
layer to assure that business license registration fees, and ultimately to determine that the City is
receiving all sales taxes it is due.
Enterprise Wide GIS: -
A key goal for the next ,ear will be to establish GIS for intra-net use in City Hall to make GIS
available to all City Staff as a regular tool. The City can utilize recent software advancements to
provide GIS services to more computers and users in a cost effective manner with little need for
extensive staff training on complicated software.
GIS on the Citv Website:
The big goal is to make the City's GIS property information with zoning information, etc.,
available and interactive to the general public over the internet. Staff is researching several key
advancements in GIS-on-the-Web technology. ESRI has developed software to put GIS on the
web, but it is not easily implemented out-of-the-box. Right now only larger cities with big
information technology departments/budgets (i.e. Riverside, San Bernardino, Rancho
Cucamonga) with programming capabilities have been able to put GIS on the web. At this time,
putting Grand Terrace's GIS on the inter eet would require a large financial investment on the
part of the City. Initial estimates are in the S?0.000 range. There are also issues regarding what
level of data should be made viewable to the general public.
However. in spite of these obstacles, staff will continue to follow developments in technology to
identify the most cost effective wa} to achieve this goal. Furthermore, decisions about the
structure and content of data are being made with the ultimate goal of putting appropriate
information on the web. Staff will continue with scanning of public documents in digital form
for ultimate availability on the Web. For example, the City's Zoning Code and the Barton Road
Specific Plan documents have been scanned and adapted to digital format (Adobe PDF) by Steve
Cumblidge. The City's General Plan and the conditions of approval for key deN elopment
projects are targeted for digital conversion into internet ready format.
This report shows the progress the City has made with its GIS program, in spite of having a
small staff "ith many diverging demands on their available time. This report spells out some
ambitious goals staff believes the GIS program should be evolving towards. These'goals are in
line with the City Council goal of improved communications with the community, by providing
widely available geographic and related information to enable staff to do their job more
efficiently and effectively, as well as providing similar t},pes of information to the citizens of
Grand Terrace via the Internet.

STAFF REPORT
I CRA ITEM ( COUNCIL ITEM (X ) MEETING DATE: February 28, 2002
FUNDING REQUIRED NO FUNDING REQUIRED X
SUBJECT: Public Hearing for the Proposed Updated Housing Element
RECOMMENDATION: -Open the Public Hearing on the Updated Housing Element,
GPA-01-01 and E-01-10; Receive any testimony;
Tentatively approve .the Updated Housing Element by
Resolution pending review and certification by the State
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HCD);
Continue the public hearing to an unspecified date to
adopt the Updated Housing Element by Ordinance
following certification by HCD; and Approve the Negative
Declaration
Background:
The Updated Housing Element has been prepared by Joann Lombardo, housing
consultant to the City, in accordance with State law and,the City's General Plan. (Please
see Attachment 1 for the Updated Housing Element.) Joann will present the staff report
on the'Updated Housing Element to the Council at the meeting. The element,has been
prepared in response to State law'that requires the Housing Element to be updated every
five years. The updated element,when approved, will satisfy the requirement of State law
that the City have an updated Housing Element-for the period of_1998 to 2005. The
Planning Commission recommended on January 17, 2002, following a public hearing, that
the City Council approve the Updated Housing Element for the period of 1998-2005.
(Please see Attachment 2 for a copy of the staff report to Planning Commission on the
Updated Housing Element).
This Housing Element Update documents the efforts of the City of Grand Terrace to
identify and meet its housing needs for the 1998-2005 planning period. The City's
identified housing needs include a need for senior citizen housing, first-time homeowner
assistance and housing maintenance. To address these needs, as well as those
established by the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), Grand Terrace has
adopted an agressive program to meet the needs of all its special needs and income
groups. Specifically, the City of Grand Terrace Housing Program for 1998-2005, contains
the following commitments:
22795 Barton Road • Grand Terrace. California 4a94 NDAMM NO. ��
• The City has reinstated an affordability clause for the 111 units at the Highland
apartments. From previous RDA commitments, housing set-aside funds were used
to refinance the Highlands Apartments. Constructed during the last planning period
with the help of City-provided bond financing and density bonuses, 111 of the 556
Highlands Apartments units were designated for low and moderate income
households. At-risk of returning to market rate, the City entered into an agreement
with the owners of the Highlands Apartments, providing low interest financing in
return for a commitment to retain the 111 as affordable to low and moderate income
households for a period of 30 years, or until 2031.
• The City has residentially zoned sites that could yield up to 870 additional housing
units to which water provision and sewer capacity need to be reserved. Of these
units, up to 480 units could be affordable to low and moderate income households
(reference Table 12).
• The City will initiate a zoning amendment to rezone Site No. 6 on Figure 2, or other
appropriate site if this proves infeasible, to R3*with a density of 20 units/acre and
potential density bonus up to 25 units/acre which would qualify the units as very low
income housing from HCD's perspective.
• The City will commit up to $250,000 of housing set-aside funds to the "Habitat for
Humanity" for the development of low-income housing.
• The City expects at least 170 very low income units to be provided at build out of
the community. These very low income units would consist of the balance of Site
No. 6, RY units, transitional housing (in the form of residential care facilities), and
potential second units (reference Table 13).
• The City has established a Housing Office for the administration and monitoring of
low and moderate income housing opportunities. The City plans to continue
operation of this Housing Office through the planning period.
• The City Housing Office has continued operation of its first-time homebuyer
purchase program which has resulted in the rehabilitation of substandard single
family units, and their resale to low and moderate income homeowners.To date, 38
homes have been rehabilitated and sold to qualified low and moderate income
households, 27 of which occurred during this planning period. The City plans to
continue and expand this program during the planning period as needed to meet the
community's low and moderate income housing needs, as described in this Housing
Element.
• The City Housing Office has utilized redevelopment tax increment funds to initiate
a rehabilitation loan program to provide financial assistance to homeowners needing
to repair and maintain their homes. To date, the City rehab loan program has
assisted 133 households, consisting of 105 moderate income households, 22 low
income households and 6 very low income households, four of which occurred
during this planning period The City plans to continue and expand this program
during the planning period as needed to meet the community's low and moderate
income housing needs, as described in this Housing Element.
• The City will initiate a zoning amendment to include mixed use development in the
downtown This amendment to the Barton Road Specific Plan will allow mixed use
development consisting of both medium/high density residential and commercial.
The City has allocated redevelopment tax increment funds and will offer bond
financing to qualified developers interested in undertaking a mixed use residential
development that will permit approximately 50 — 75 senior citizen town homes
development, provided 30% (15- 20) of the units are affordable to very low income
senior households.
Following the Council's tentative approval of the Updated Housing Element by Resolution (Please
see Attachment 3), it will be transmitted to the State Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD)which is required by law to review and comment on the updated element and
certify it if in that agency's estimation the element meet the requirements of State law. Once that
process is completed,the public hearing on the Updated Housing Element will be continued so that
final approval by the City Council can take place and the element can be adopted by ordinance.
As required by law, the continued public hearing will be renoticed.
Also included for your review are the proposed Ordinance (Please see Attachment 4)to adopt the
Updated Housing Element, once it is certified by the State and the proposed Negative
Declaration/Initial Study (Please see Attachment 5) which will be approved when the ordinance is
adopted.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council tentatively approve the Updated Housing Element by
Resolution; that the approved Updated Housing Element be transmitted to the State Department
of Housing and Community Development; and that the public hearing for the updated element be
continued to a date uncertain in order to give final approval following its State review and adoption
by Ordinance.

include a need for senior citizen housing, first-time homeowner assistance and housing maintenance.
To address these needs, as Nvell as those established by the Regional Housing Needs Allocation
(RHNA), Grand Terrace has adopted an agressive program to meet the needs of all its special needs
and income groups. Specifically, the City of Grand Terrace Housing Program for 1998-2005,
contains the following commitments:
• The City has reinstated an affordability clause for the 111 units at the Highlands Apartments.
From previous RDA commitments, housing set-aside funds were used to refinance the Highlands
Apartments. Constructed during the last planning period with the help of City-provided bond
financing and density bonuses, 111 of the 556 Highlands Apartments units were designated for
low and moderate income households. At-risk of returning to market rate, the City entered into an
agreement with the owners of the Highlands Apartments, providing low interest financing in
return for a commitment to retain the 111 as affordable to low and moderate income households
for a period of 30 years, or until 2031.
• The City has residentially zoned sites that could yield up to 870 additional housing units to which
water provision and sewer capacity need to be reserved. Of these units, up to 480 units could be
affordable to low and moderate income households (reference Table 12).
• The City will initiate a zoning amendment to rezone Site No. 6 on Figure 2, or other appropriate
site is this proves infeasible, to R3+with a density of 20 units/acre and with potential density
bonus up to 25 units/acre which would qualify the units as very low income housing from HCD's
perspective.
• The City «ill commit up to $250,000 of housing set-aside funds to be committed to the "Habitat
for Humanity" for the development of low-income housing.
• The City expects at least 170 very low income units to be provided at build out of the community.
These very low income units would consist of the balance of Site No. 6, R3+ units, transitional
housing (in the form of additional residential care facilities), and second units (reference Table
13).
• The City has established a Housing Office for the administration and monitoring of low and
moderate income housing opportunities. The City plans to continue operation of this Housing
Office through the planning period.
• The Cite Housing Office has continued operation of its first-time homebuyer purchase program
,which has resulted in the rehabilitation of substandard single family units, and their resale to low
and moderate income homeowners. To date, 38 homes have been rehabilitated and sold to
qualified low and moderate income households, 27 of which occurred during this planning period.
The City plans to continue and expand this program during the planning period as needed to meet
the community's low and moderate income housing needs, as described in this Housing Element.
• The City Housing Office has utilized redevelopment tax increment funds to initiate a
City of Grand Terrace
Draft Housing Element Update(January 7,2002)
rehabilitation loan program to provide financial assistance to homeowners needing to repair and
maintain their homes. To date, the Cit-, rehab loan program has assisted 133 households.
consisting of 105 moderate income households, 22 low income households and 6 very low
income households, four of which occurred during this planning period. The City plans to
continue and expand this program during the plan-ling period as needed to meet the community's
low and moderate income housing needs. as described in this Housing Element.
The City will initiate a zoning amendment to include mixed use development in the downtown.
This amendment to the Barton Road Specific Plan will allow mixed use development consisting
of both medium/high density residential and commercial. The City has allocated redevelopment
tax increment funds and will offer bond financing to qualified developers interested in
undertaking a mixed use residential development that will permit approximately 50 — 75 senior
citizen town home developments, provided 30% (15- 20) of the units are affordable to very low
income senior households.

Authorization and Content
Adequate housing for families and individuals of all.economic levels has become an important issue
for State and Local governments. The issue has grown in complexity due to rising costs and
increasing competition for physical and financial resources in both the public and the private sectors.
State of California Department of Finance City/Counn,Population.January 1,2001
City of Grand Terrace
Draft Housing Element Update(January 7,2002)
In response to this concern, the California Legislature amended the Go,,ernment Code in 1980 to
require each local community to include a specific analysis of its housing needs and.a realistic set of
programs designed to meet those needs.in a Housing Element of its General Plan. The requirements
Of the law are prefaced by several statements of State policy set forth in Section 65580 of the
Government Code:
... The availability of housing is of vital statewide importance. and the early attainment of
decent housing and a suitable living environment for every California family is a priority of
the highest order."
"... Local and State governments have a responsibility to use the powers vested in them to
facilitate the improvement and development of housing to make adequate provision for the
housing needs of all economic segments of the community."
The legislature recognizes that in carrying out this responsibility, each local government
also has the responsibility to consider economic, environmental, and fiscal factors and
community goals set forth in the general plan and to cooperate ,vith other local governments
and the State in addressing regional housing needs."
The law requires each locality to accomplish the following tasks:
Identify and analyze the current and projected housing needs of all economic segments of the
community.
Evaluate current and potential constraints to meeting those needs, constraints due both to
operations of the marketplace and to operations of government.
Inventory and assess the availability of land suitable for residential use and of opportunities
for energy conservation in residential development.
Set forth goals, objectives. policies and programs which are responsive to the identified
housing needs, governmental and non-governmental constraints, and identified housing
opportunities.
This Housing Element Update has been prepared in accordance with applicable State lacy. It has also
been prepared consistent with the City of Grand Terrace General Plan and the community's vision of
its housing needs and objectives. This conununity vision has been substantiated by a citizens surveN
and meetings of the City General Plan Task Force, conducted between 1997-1999, and further
supported by a recent public hearing before the Planning Conunission and a strategy approval by the
City Council.
Accordingly, this Housing Element examines Grand Terrace's housing needs as they exist today, and
projects future housing needs It sets forth statements of community goals, objectives and policies
concerning those needs. It includes a housing program responsive to current and future needs,
consistent with available resources. The housing program covers the planning period from 1998-
2005, detailing a schedule of actions the community)is undertaking or plans to undertake to achieve
City of Grand Terrace
Draft Housing Element Update(January 7,2002)
its housing goals and objectives. Upon implementation of these actions, the City of Grand Terrace
will have satisfied its local housing needs through build-out. and its regional housing needs through
the planning period.
State law recognizes that housing needs may exceed available resources, a recognition most critical in
this day of uncertainties as to public fiscal resources and a changing private sector investment
climate. As a result, the methods for achieving the City's objectives, as stated today, may be less
relevant tomorrow or a,,ear from tomorrow. Indeed. the City's ability to meet its objectives may be
profoundly affected by future programmatic and funding changes expected at the Federal and State
levels. Therefore, it is intended that this Housing Element be reviewed annually and be updated and
modified every five years to remain relevant and useful to decision makers, the private sector, and the
community. The next review and revision of the Housing Element shall be in conformance Nvith
Government Code Section 65588 or its applicable amendments.
Relationship to Other Elements and Plans
The California Government Code requires internal consistency among the various elements of a
general plan. Section 65300.5 of the Go%errunent Code states that the general plan and the parts and
elements thereof shall comprise an integrated and internally consistent and compatible statement of
policies. All other elements of the Grand Terrace General Plan have been recently or are in the
process of being updated. The City undertook its current 1989-1998 Housing Element, adopted by
the City Council May 27. 1999 and subsequently certified by the Department of Housing and
Community Development (HCD). to achieve internal consistency among the various elements of its
General Plan.
The land use allocations contained in the Land Use Element of the General Plan are supportive of the
policies and actions of this Housing Element Update and Aill provide adequate sites to accommodate
projected new housing construction. Additionally, the infrastructure element of the General Plan
proposes a transportation system which will provide adequate access to work centers, schools,
shopping areas, and other destinations for both existing_ and future residents, while other elements of
the General Plan relate to environmental quality, the preservation and conservation of natural
resources, and public health and safety. As such. the various policies and programs recommended
throughout the General Plan were taken into account during the preparation of this Housing Element.
City Staff has reviewed the other updated elements of the General Plan. as well as those undergoing
updates. Staff has determined that this Housing Element Update retains the internal consistency
among the various elements of the Cit} General Plan The City will maintain this consistence as
future General Plan amendments are processed by e%a,uating proposed amendments for consistence
with the Housing Element and with all other elements of the General Plan.
Citizen Participation
This Housing Element was developed through the combined efforts of the City staff, the City General ,
Plan Task Force, the City Planning Commission, the City Council, and the City's consultants.
Citizen input was received by means of workshops and public hearings conducted by the Planning
Commission and City Council. The notices for these workshops and public hearings were published
in a local newspaper and prominently posted at Cite Hall. the City Library and the local Post Office.
City of Grand Terrace
Draft Housing Element Update(January 7.2002
In addition, a community survey was conducted in 1997 to ascertain community input regarding
Grand Terrace housing needs and goals. This survey was mailed to a random sampling of 740
residents throughout the City. Twenty-two percent of those residents responded, providing City staff
useful information regarding perceived housing needs and preferred-methods for addressing those
needs. Input from the surveys as well as the community workshops and meetings are reflected in the
City's adopted Housing Element and are carried forward in this Update.

II. REVIEW OF ELEMENT AND PAST ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Review and Updating of Element
To maintain the Housing Element as a viable working document it must be reviewed and updated
periodically. Periodic review will allow the City to evaluate the progress made toward the attainment
of established housing goals. It also will provide the City with an opportunity to adjust programs to
respond to changing needs and/or fiscal conditions within the community. The Housing Program,
contained in Section VII of this element. has been structured so as to facilitate performance
evaluation.
According to Housing Element law, the City of Grand Terrace is required to update its Housing
Element as need dictates. but no less than once every five years. In addition to this periodic updating,
the City will annually review and evaluate the effectiveness of its housing programs in
accomplishing, established goals and policies. Opportunities for local residents to participate in the
periodic review and updating of the Housing Element will continue to be provided through advertised
meetings and/or hearings before the Planning Commission and the City Council.
Review of Past Accomplishments
As part of the periodic review of the Housing Element, each local government is required to evaluate
its progress toward achieving the goals contained in the previous Housing Element. This evaluation
should include a discussion of the following: 1) the effectiveness of the Housing Element in the
attainment of the State housing goal: 2) an analysis of the significant differences between what was
projected and what was achieved; and 3) a description of how the goals, objectives, policies and
programs of the updated element incorporate what has been learned from the results of the previous
element.
The differences between the projected goals and what was achieved is primarily measured by the
Regional Housing Needs Allocation Model (RHNA). Southern California Association of
Governments (SCAG) establishes the RHNA for the Cit-, of Grand Terrace. The RHNA identifies the
City's existing and future housing need broken down into four household income categories: "eery
low" (less than 50% of the median income); "Iow" (50 to 80 percent of the median); "moderate" (80
to 120 percent of the median): and"upper" (more than 120 percent of the median). During the past
planning period 1989-1997, the City of Grand Terrace met its RHNA goals for affordable housing by
designating adequate sites for the construction of 255 affordable housing units. broken down as
follows: 72 "Very low"; 83 "low", and 100 "moderate": however, only 32% of the 320 needed
"upper" units, i.e., 102 "upper"units. were constructed.
As shown in Table 1, 673 housing units were constructed in Grand Terrace between the years of
1989-1997. The RHNA goals for both low and moderate income units were well exceeded and nearly
32 percent of the needed upper income units were built. To satisfy the RHNA goals for low and very
low income, the City provided a densin, bonus and mortgage revenue financing for the construction
of the 556 unit Highlands Apartments project. The Highlands Apartments resulted in 445 new
moderate income units, and 111 new units affordable to low income households. The City also has
committed to rezoning the Barton Road Specific Plan to allow- mixed use residential uses mixed uses

In addition. the Civ; has undertaken other specific actions during the past planning period to further
the attainment of local housing goals. These actions are listed below and summarized in Section VII
of this Update:
• Establishment of a Housing Office for the administration and monitoring of low and moderate
income housing opportunities.
• Initiate and operate a first-time home buyer purchase program which has resulted in the
rehabilitation of substandard single family units, and their resale to low and moderate income
homeowners
• Initiate and operate a rehabilitation loan program to provide financial assistance to homeowners
needing to repair and maintain their homes.
• Initiate local code amendments dealing with: second units; manufactured housing; amendment of
the Barton Road Specific Plan to allow mixed use commercial development with medium/high
density residential; and special development standards for senior citizen and other low and
moderate income housing as means to facilitate the provision of affordable housing.

F. Historic Residential Construction Trends
Table 6 shows residential construction activity in Grand Terrace for the period from 1989 to
2001. This data is tabulated based on the 2000 Census housing unit count and City Building
permit records since 1990. During this period, 685 units were constructed. However, during
this planning from 1998 through 2001, only 27 single families home were constructed, four of
which %were constructed by the City of Grand Terrace Redevelopment Agency through their
first time homebuyer program. The rapid growth that has occurred in many San Bernardino
County cities during this decade has by-passed Grand Terrace.
As illustrated b} the 2000 State Department of Finance figures shoNvn in Table 7, 66 percent
of Grand Terrace's housing units are single family; 28 percent is multifamily and 6 percent is
mobile homes. These percentages of single family units relative to multifamily and mobile
homes are fairly comparable to that of adjacent cities, including Colton, Loma Linda and
Redlands. The overall percentage of single family homes in the County is 720X0. notable
higher than Grand Terrace and the adjacent cities identified in Table 7.

G. A¢e of Residential Structures
The age of a structure has a significant effect on its physical condition. However, by itself,
age is not a valid indicator of housing condition, since proper care and continued maintenance
will extend the physical and economic life of a unit. One the other hand, a lack of normal
maintenance coupled with an aging housing stock can lead to the serious deterioration of
individual units and entire neighborhoods.
According to the 1990 Census. approximately 2,277 units (56.1 percent of the City's housing
stock) were more than 25 years old. Current City estimates indicate that approximately 65.8
percent of the City's current housing stock is in excess of 25 years of age.
Recent data obtained by an exterior housing condition survey conducted in November of
1996, and updated in May 2001. found that none of the City's dwelling units were dilapidated
(e.g., showing signs of major structural deficiencies, such as sagging roofline, sagging porch,
or roof damage sufficient to permit water damage to structural elements).
Proper and continued maintenance of older housing is important in extending the life of a
home. It also is important in maintaining the general well-being of the surrounding
neighborhoods.
H. Overcrowding
The size of residential structures (number of rooms excluding bathrooms, halls, closets, etc.)
is an important factor in assessing whether the housing stock is adequately accommodating
the community's population. An average size residential unit has five rooms (kitchen,
dining/family room, living room and two bedrooms), according to the U.S. Census, and can
accommodate a family of up to five without being considered overcrowded. According to the
1990 Census and as summarized in Table 8, only approximately 2 percent of all units in the
City, were identified as overcrowded, as compared with 6 percent in the County. The 1990
Census data also suggests that there is little problem with overcrowding of either o«ner
occupied or renter occupied housing units in Grand Terrace.

I. Vacancy Rates
The residential vacanc,, rate, a translation of the number of unoccupied housing units on the
market, is a good indicator of the balance between housing supple and demand in a
community. When the demand for housing exceeds the available supply, the vacancy- rate will
be low. Concomitantly, a low vacancy rate drives the cost of housing upward to the
disadvantage of prospective buyers or renters.
In a healthy housing market. the vacancy rate would be between 5.0 and 8.0 percent. These
vacant units should be distributed across a variety of housing types, sizes, price ranges and
locations within the Cit-,. This allows adequate selection opportunities for households seeking
new residences. The,2000 State Department of Finance reports estimate a City-wide vacancy
rate for Grand Terrace of 5.0 percent, suggesting a healthy balance between housing supply
and demand. This rate compares favorably to the County, which was recorded by the State
Department of Finance to have a overall vacancy rate of 14.5%.

J. Housing :affordability
According to recent data from the State of California Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD). the year 2000 median income for a four-person household in San
Bernardino County is S47,4005. The Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) in conjunction with HCD have developed the following income categories and their
definitions, the 2000 income limits for a four-person household are indicated in parenthesis:
• Very Low Income - less than 50 percent of the County median (less than $23,700)
• Loxv Income - between 51 and 80 percent of the County median ($24,174 - $37,900)
• Moderate Income - between 81 and 120 percent of the County median ($37,901 -
$56,900)
• Upper Income - greater than 120 percent of the County median ($56,901+)
According to State and Federal standards for housing overpayment, a household should pay no
more than 30 percent of its income on housing. Households paying greater than 30 percent
have limited remaining income for other necessities such as food, clothing, and health care..
Upper Income households are generally capable of paying a larger proportion of their income
for housing: therefore, estimates of housing overpayment generally focus on lower income
groups.
Based on these guidelines that households should not spend more than 30 percent of their
gross income on housing, Table 9 estimates the maximum housing costs affordable to Very
Low Income, Low Income and Moderate Income households in Grand Terrace. In the case of
rent, the 30 percent does not include allowance for utilities that may impose additional costs
to the renter of S50 to S100 per month, depending on which utilities the renter is responsible
for paying. Renters may be required to cover water, sewer and trash pickup costs in addition
to the usual electric. Ras and phone. The addition of these costs may cause rental of a unit that
would otherwise be affordable to become a condition of overpayment. In the case of
purchase. the 30 percent includes payment on principal and interest, and an assumed 1.25%
allocation for taxes and homeo«-ner insurance. In actuality, taxes and insurance may exceed
the assumed 1.25% in newer areas subject to assessments, Mello-Roos districts or high fire
hazard. A 10 percent down payment and an 8 percent interest rate are assumed, reflecting
2000 market conditions.
Maximum housing costs affordable to a Very Low Income four-person household are S77,300
to purchase a home and S590 per month to rent a home. For a Low Income four-person
household the maximum affordable housing costs are S 123,600 to purchase a home and $944
per month to rent a home. For a Moderate Income four-person household the maximum
affordable housing costs are $185,500 to purchase a home and S 1,416 per month to rent a ,
home.

income. Calculation of affordable home sales price based on downpayment of 10 percent,annual interest
rate of 8 percent,30-year mortgage,and monthly payment of 30 percent of gross income.
According to the 1990 Census,the median value of owner-occupied housing in Grand Terrace
was $137,000, and the median monthly cost for rental units was $609. As presented in Table
10, the largest percentage of the City's housing stock(49 percent) was within the $100,000 to
$149,000 range.
More recent data obtained from classified ads in the local newspaper and Yahoo! Real Estate
(June 2001) indicate that the current 2001 average sale price for a home in Grand Terrace is
$147,000. This represents a modest increase of 7.2 percent in the average housing price from
that reported by the 1990 Census. On an annual basis, this represents an average increase of
0.61 percent over the twelve year period. With typical terms of 20 percent down, a new home
buyer purchasing an average-priced home of$147,000 with a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at a
6.75 percent interest rate would have a monthly principal and interest payment of
approximately $773 per month.
Recent rental housing information obtained from classified ads in the local newspaper and
Yahoo! Real Estate (June 2001) indicate that the average monthly rental rate for an apartment
in Grand Terrace is $831. Depending on the age, size and amenities of the apartment, monthly
rates range between$615 to $1,000. Because of the recent drop in mortgage interest rates to
6.75%, the monthly mortgage payment for purchasing an average home in Grand Terrace is
less than the monthly rent.
As indicated by current home sales and rental rates, there is a wide range of housing choices
in Grand Terrace available to households in the low and moderate income ranges. However,
the very low income households the City appear to be priced out of both the for-sale and rental
market.

IV. HOUSING NEEDS
The housing needs of a community revolve around: 1) the extent to which housing is and will be
available to those who need it; 2) the degree to which available housing is and will be affordable by
those who need it; and 3) the extent to which the housing stock of the community is in decent and
standard condition. This section of the Housing Element sets forth Grand Terrace's housing needs,
and identifies the needs of special population groups in the community, (i.e., the elderly, disabled and
handicapped, large families, female-headed households, and homeless persons)to the extent that such
data is available. Specific action programs included in this element are designed to update data and
eliminate information gaps identified in this report.
A. SCAG Regional Housing Needs Assessment
State law requires jurisdictions to provide for their share of regional housing needs. As part of
the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA), the Southern California Association of
Governments (SCAG) determines the housing growth needs by income category for cities
within its jurisdiction, which includes the City of Grand Terrace. RHNA determinations for
the City of Grand Terrace during this planning period through 2005 are presented in Table 11.
As illustrated in the Table, Grand Terrace is required to provide opportunity for the
construction of 244 new dwelling units during this planning period. Of these new units, 39
should be affordable to very low income households, 33 to low income households, 52 to
moderate income households, and 120 to above moderate income households.

B. Land Inventory
Section 65583 (a)(B) of the Government Code requires an inventory of land suitable
for residential development, including vacant sites, and sites having the potential for
infill development, and an analysis of the relationship of zoning and public facilities
and services to these sites.
Residential land uses occupy approximately 41 percent of the City's land area. The
preponderance of residential uses are single-family, low density in nature. Single-
family uses comprise 31 percent of the total City land area. Six percent of the City
land area is devoted to multi-family uses, more than one unit per parcel. Mobile home
uses constitute 26 acres or approximately one percent of the City6.
Potential sites for the development of new housing consist of both vacant and partially
developed properties. The general location of these sites is shown in Figure 2. A
6 Acreage estimates are from the City of Grand Terrace Master Environmental
Assessment/Environmental Impact Report (MEWEIR), January 1988.
City of Grand Terrace
Draft Housing Element Update(January 7,2002)
breakdown.of the number of units that could be realized on each of these sites, based
on build out in accordance with the General Plan, is presented in Table 12. The total
number of additional units that could be developed, as well as the number of units that
could be affordable to low and moderate income households, are identified.

As can be seen in Table 12, up to 870 additional housing units could be constructed on
available sites. Of these units, up to 189 units could be affordable to low and very low
income households. Site No. 6, or another comparable site if this proves to be infeasible, is
proposed to be rezoned to R3+which could be 25 dwelling units per acre with a density bonus
and as such would be considered to be very low income housing. A portion(33 units) of
these ver}- low income units (35%) on Site No. 6 are shown to be provided during this
planning period on Table 13 below. The balance of these R3+units, 62 is expected to be
provided at build-out as shown on Table 13. In addition to the units included in Table 12,the
City is in the process of amending its Barton Road Specific Plan to allow mixed use
development with medium/high density senior citizen housing to permit 50-75 units, with up
to 20 units affordable to very low income senior households. Also, the City expects at least
108 additional very low income units to be provided at build out of the community. These
very low income units would consist of transitional housing ( in the form of additional
residential care facilities), and second units. A breakdown of these units by category is shown
in Table 13. The number of these new, additional transitional units (54) is based on past and
pending applications for residential care facilities in the City, and assumes nine new
residential care facilities to be established prior to City build-out, with an average occupancy
of 6 persons per facility. The number of new second units (54) is calculated at 2% of the
existing single family homes in the City. It is anticipated that the second units would contain
primarily single person households.

It should be pointed out that the number of affordable units is based, in part, on the provision
of density bonuses which, depending upon site characteristics and other circumstances, can
range from 25 to 45 percent. This is due to the fact,that the City's density bonus program is
two-fold, with the City allowing bonuses of up to 20 percent over the bonus (i.e., 25 percent)
required under State law. In other words,bonuses of up to 45 percent of the density normally
allowed by the underlying zone are possible when dealing with R3 zoned properties within the
City. Moreover, as indicated in the Housing Program section of this element,the City is in the
process of amending its zoning code to provide for density bonuses in all residential zones. In
addition. this amendment will specify that density bonuses of up to 25 percent will be granted
for residential projects if the units are rented to low and moderate income households for a
period of 15 years, and up to 45 percent if the units are rented to low and very low income
households for a period of 15 years.
The provision of density bonuses is expected to be one of the primary ways in which
affordable units will be constructed. Local experience has shown that this technique, in itself,
is capable of generating affordable housing and particularly when coupled with below market
rate bond financing or other incentives, as evidenced by the recent 556 unit Highlands
Apartments project, constructed during the past planning area. The Highlands has resulted in
445 new units, and I I I new units affordable to low income households.
While density bonuses will continue to be used to produce affordable housing, this is not the
only means by which the City intends to address the low and moderate income housing needs
identified in the RHNA. The City intends to supplement the use of density bonuses by
expediting the processing of plans, waiving application fees for affordable housing
developments, amending the Barton Road Specific Plan to allow a mix of commercial and
residential development, establishing special development standards for senior citizen and
other low and moderate income housing. The City's Redevelopment Agency also intends to
use its 20 percent set-aside funds and mortgage revenue bonds to make the cost of new and
resale housing more affordable to low and moderate income households (See Housing
Programs, Section VII of this Housing Element).
C. Need for Replacement Housing
As discussed in Section III. G. of this Element, above, approximately 65.8 percent of the
City's current housing stock is in excess of 25 years of age. However, none of these units were
found to be dilapidated (e.g., showing signs of major structural deficiencies, such as sagging
roofline, sagging porch, or roof damage sufficient to permit water damage to structural
elements).
During this planning period, the City demolished 4 abandoned, substandard single family
housing units for health and safety reasons. These units were replaced through the City's first-
time home-buyers program. These units have been sold to qualified low and moderate income
households. SCAG has projected that no residential units will be lost during this planning
period.

Draft Housing Element Update(January 7,2002)
During this planning period, the City also has rehabilitated 23 single family homes through the
first-time home-buyers program, and sold these units to qualified low and moderate income
households. Another four single family homes have been rehabilitated through the City
rehabilitation loan program that provides financial assistance to homeowners needing to repair
and maintain their homes.
D. Special Housing Needs
In addition to the new housing construction needs estimates presented above, there are
segments of the population that experience special housing needs. These groups include the
elderly, the disabled, female-headed households and the homeless. The severity of these
special needs within the City of Grand Terrace is discussed below.
1. The Elderly/Handicapped
As reported by the 2000 Census, 1,245 persons, or approximately 10.7 percent of the
population in Grand Terrace are over 65 years of age. This percentage is expected to
increase during the next decade due to two factors: (1) the U.S. population nationwide
is aging as the baby boom population(born between 1946 and 1964) approaches their
senior years; and (2) many Grand Terrace long time residents choose to stay in the
City7.
The 1990 Census identified a total of 698 households (17.9 percent) which listed
social security as the principal source of income. From this data, it can be inferred that
there are likely to be a number of elderly persons needing some form of housing
assistance. This view was supported by the recent community survey completed by
the City in support of the existing Housing Element, in which the majority of
respondents felt that the elderly were the largest single group needing housing
assistance in Grand Terrace.
Housing needs of the elderly usually revolve around issues of affordability, in that
most elderly are on a fixed income while housing and other costs continue to rise.
According to the 1990 Census, 198 persons, approximately 2 percent of the population
in Grand Terrace, had significant physical disabilities. Of these disabled persons, 109
persons had transportation related disabilities, 114 had self care disabilities and 462
persons had work related disabilities. While the needs of certain handicapped
individuals (i.e., blind, deaf or experiencing nervous disorders) may be met without
special housing accommodations, persons with ambulatory disabilities often require
specially designed barrier-free housing. Recognizing this situation,the City has
included appropriate actions in the Housing Program section of this document.
2. Large Families
7 According to the 1990 Census most Grand Terrace households have resided in the City for over ten years.
City of Grand Terrace
Draft Housing Element Update(January 7,2002)
According to the 2000 census,the average family size in the City is 3.15. Data from
the 1990 Census indicated that of the 3,857 households residing in the City of Grand
Terrace in 1990, 453 (11.7 percent) were comprised of 5 or more persons. A large
family household is defined as one with five or more members. Needs of large
families generally center on overcrowding and affordability. The 1990 Census
reported that 74 percent of the City's housing units have 5 or more rooms, indicating
that large families in Grand Terrace are generally adequately housed. To ensure that
adequate housing for large families is maintained, both the City and its Redevelopment
Agency are taking steps to meet the needs of large families as discussed in the Housing
Program section of this element.
3. Households Headed by Women
According to the 2000 Census, 568 households (13.5 percent) of households residing
in Grand Terrace are female-headed households. Of these households, 313 (7.5 percent
of all households) are lower income and require assistance was not available.
However, it is not uncommon for up to 20 percent of such households to need some
form of housing assistance. If this figure is applicable to Grand Terrace,then
approximately 114 households headed by women are in need of assistance. To ensure
that adequate housing for low income female-headed households is available, both the
City and its Redevelopment Agency are taking steps to meet these needs as discussed
in the Housing Program section of this element.
4. Farm Worker Housing
The California Government Code requires that the City of Grand Terrace consider
local farm worker housing needs in formulating the Housing Element of its General
Plan. The 1990 Census reported 0 farmworkers residing in Grand Terrace. This
information was verified by discussions conducted in 1991 with the State Employment
Development Department in San Bernardino and the San Bernardino County Housing
Authority, both of which reported no farm worker households residing in the City.
5. Homeless Persons and Families
Recent amendments to Housing Element Law require local governments to plan for
the provision of shelters and transitional housing for homeless persons and families
and the identification of adequate sites. A need is said to exist if one person in a
locality is without shelter or if the type of shelter available is inappropriate.
It should be mentioned that there is a difference between emergency shelter and
transitional housing. Shelter provides an immediate short-term solution to the
homeless, whereas transitional housing attempts to remove the basis for homelessness
(i.e., lack of sufficient income for self support). Transitional housing can last as long
as 18 months and generally includes integration with other social services and
counseling programs to assist in the transition to self-sufficiency through the
acquisition of a permanent income and housing.
City of Grand Terrace
Draft Housing Element Update(January 7,2002)
At present, there are two agencies that provide emergency shelter and/or short-term
transitional housing for homeless persons originating from the City of Grand Terrace.
These agencies are the Frazee/Highland Community Center and the Salvation Army.
The Frazee/Highland Community Center currently operates three facilities: a main
office located at 1140 West Mills Street, City of San Bernardino; a senior shelter
located at 913 Delaware, City of Redlands; and a single-person and families shelter
located at 7178 Palm Avenue, City of Highland.
At present, the Frazzee;'Highland community Center provides shelter, clothing and
food boxes to eligible applicants. The total bed capacity is 64 and the facility is
currently operating at or near capacity. A center representative stated that a person in
need is never turned away. A person is either served at the center or referred to the
San Bernardino County Department of Public Social Services (DPSS).
The Salvation Army operates the Hospitality House located at 845 W. Kingman Street,
City of San Bernardino. This facility has a capacity of 70 beds. This new facility
operates at, or near, capacity. The facility provides 3-day shelter housing and up to 90-
day transitional housing for individuals seeking employment. Over-flow is referred to
the Frazee/Highland Community Shelter and/or the County of San Bernardino
Department of Public Social Services.
Most importantly, there are currently 13 residential care facilities located within the
City of Grand Terrace. The City has permitted these facilities to be established within
its corporate boundaries in accordance with Section 1566.3 of the Health and Safety
Code. According to HCD, these facilities meet the requirement for the provision of
transitional housing as set forth in Section 65583 of the Government Code. Therefore,
based on an occupancy-of six persons per facility, these facilities are providing
important transitional housing for 78 persons.
In an attempt to document the existence of homeless persons originating from the City
of Grand Terrace, local public and private non-profit organizations, including the San
Bernardino County Department of Economic and Community Development, were
contacted. The Department indicated that they had no information of homeless
persons originating from the City of Grand Terrace. This information was supported
by recent discussions NNith the local Salvation Army and the Frazee/Highland
Community Center; both facilities indicated that 1999 and 2000 intake application
information identified no persons as originating from Grand Terrace.
During the updating of this element, local social service agencies, the County Fire
Department, the County Sheriffs Department, the City's Community Services
Department and the City Manager's Office were contacted in order to document the
presence of homeless persons within the City and/or the extent to which they have
sought assistance from local agencies. Based on this investigation, it appears that no
homeless persons originating from Grand Terrace have requested assistance.
In regard to transitional housing,the existing residential care facilities within the City
City of Grand Terrace
Draft Housing Element Update(January 7,2002)
may provide long-term transitional housing for homeless persons originating from
Grand Terrace, should the need arise. In addition, based on past activity and pending
applications, the City expects up to nine new residential care facilities to be
established prior to City build-out. These facilities will provide transitional housing for
up to 54 additional persons.
Although there is currently no identified need for additional emergency shelter or
transitional housing in Grand Terrace, both the City and its Redevelopment Agency
are taking steps to meet the needs of large families as discussed in the Housing
Program section of this element. These steps include the designation of municipal
buildings for emergency shelter. The City Manager's Office has indicated that, should
the need arise, existing public facilities, including City Hall and the City Yard, would
be made available to provide emergency shelter. The City also will continue to
coordinate with and support the efforts of the Frazee/Highland Community Center and
the Salvation Army in order to ensure that the needs of any homeless persons in the
Grand Terrace area are met to the extent possible.
In addition, as the need requires, the City will:
• Adopt an existing center to contribute to and/or have it be the regional center for
the East Valley Local Coordinating Group, or construct a new regional shelter
facility in one of the cities within the coalition.
• Coordinate with local financial and real estate institutions in developing creative
financing investments in the community with respect to affordable housing(e.g.
redevelopment funding, private donation matching city donation, etc.).
Participate in special programs, such as the Inland Harvest pickup and distribution
of leftover foods from local restaurants, schools and social functions.
• Contribute to address basic education or financing educational programs (basis
household financing and budgeting).
• Contribute to transportation services to and from educational facilities, self-help
groups and jobs.
• Organize distribution programs (coordinated program within each city- vouchers
to provide the basic emergency services: food, shelter and clothing).
E. At Risk HousinlZ
As required by Government Code Section 65583,the City must analyze the extent to which
low income, multi-family rental units are at risk of becoming market rate housing and, if
necessary, develop programs to preserve or replace these assisted housing units. The multi-
family units to be considered are any units that were constructed using various federal
assistance programs, state or local mortgage revenue bonds, redevelopment tax increments, in-
lieu fees or an inclusionary housing ordinance, or density bonuses. Low income multi-family
housing is considered to be at risk if it is eligible to convert t non-low income housing due to:
1) the termination of a rental subsidy contract; 2) mortgage prepayment or 3)the expiration of
City of Grand Terrace
Draft Housing Element Update(January 7,2002)
affordability restrictions. The time period that is to be considered in making this
determination is the ten year period following the last mandated updating of the Housing
Element, which in the case of Grand Terrace is 1989-99.
Based on the information contained in the"Inventory of Federally Subsidized Low Income,
Rental Units at Risk of Conversion," compiled by the California Housing Partnership
Corporation, there are no federally assisted (HCD or FmHA), low income rental units within
the City. Likewise, there are no low income rental units within the City that have been
developed with the use of CDBG funds or as a result of an inclusionary housing ordinance.
However, there are 111 low income rental units that were constructed using a combination of
density bonuses and local multi-family revenue bond financing. These units are located in the
Highlands Apartments, constructed by Forest City Development at 11750 Mt. Vernon
Avenue. Information provided by HCD in its April 30, 1998 letter to the City, indicated that
these units were scheduled to convert to market rate in 1999. (Reference Table 14, Checklist
to Confirm Lack of At-Risk Units.) The original mortgage revenue bond issue for the
Highlands Apartments, as guaranteed by the City, stipulated that the affordability controls
imposed on these units would not begin to expire until the year 2020. However, this
stipulation was not legally binding, and the Forest Management Company refinanced the
bond.
Since learning of the units at risk status, the City has successfully negotiating with the Forest
Management Company to preserve the affordability of the 111 units. The City committed
approximately $2,000,000 of its Redevelopment Agency housing set-aside funds to refinance
the Highlands apartment through either a low-interest loan. In return, the Forest Management
Company has committed to retaining the affordability of the 111 units at the Highlands
Apartments for 30 years, through 2030. Consequently, there are no affordable units at-risk of
converting to market rate during this planning period,through 2005.
The City also is currently working to gain developer interested in building 75 low to moderate
income senior multi-family units in Grand Terrace's downtown. The City has made
commitments to provide Redevelopment Agency assistance and bond financing for the
project. Because the project is located in the Barton Road Specific Plan area,the City is
currently in the process of amending the Specific Plan to allow multi-family residential
development on previously zoned"commercial"property. In return, the City will be
requesting the developer to provide a minimum of 15-20 units at rents affordable to "very
low" income senior citizen households.

V.- CONSTRAINTS
The ability of the private and public sectors to provide adequate housing to meet the needs of all
economic segments of the community is constrained by various interrelated factors. For ease of
discussion,these factors have been divided into three categories: 1)physical constraints;.2) market
constraints; and 3) governmental constraints. The extent to which these constraints are affecting the
supply and affordability of housing in the City of Grand Terrace is discussed below.
A. Physical Constraints
A major constraint to the development of housing within the City of Grand Terrace is that two
large portions of the remaining single-family designated properties are located in hillside
areas. This hillside orientation severely constrains the development of affordable low- and
moderate-income housing.
Another physical constraint, is a low lying area adjacent to the Santa Ana River general
bounded by the City's incorporated boundary line to the north and east, Vivienda Court to the
south and Terrace Avenue to the west. This area is considered unsuitable for habitable
structures because of potential flood danger.
B. Market Constraints
1. Market Forces
One of the major obstacles to providing housing to meet the need of all economic
segments of the community is the nature of the housing market itself. The rate at
which housing costs accelerated during the 1980's was a serious national problem.
This problem was magnified in California as a whole, and particularly in communities
such as Grand Terrace, where the desirability of the community further inflates costs.
The primary factor driving market forces is location, and the setting and nature of
Grand Terrace are not conducive to the provision of affordable housing.
Grand Terrace is a rather small community of approximately 3.4 square miles,with no
sphere of influence. The City is located on a topographic plateau, at a higher elevation
than most of the surrounding cities, and enjoys a full panoramic view of the San
Bernardino Mountains.
Grand Terrace is located amidst the employment areas of the Cities of Riverside,
Colton and San Bernardino and adjacent to the I-215 Freeway, a major commuting
corridor to jobs in Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Regionally, the Ontario area
and Los Angeles to the west contain the bulk of industry and blue collar jobs. Grand
Terrace is a bedroom community. Recent estimates by SCAG indicate there are 2,653
jobs currently within the City. The City's neighborhoods, its elderly residents and its
younger commuting population are its greatest assets.
Grand Terrace was incorporated approximately 20 years ago and since then has grown
moderately by an average of three percent per year. Other cities in the area, like
City of Grand Terrace
Draft Housing Element Update(January 7,2002)
Moreno Valley, for instance, grew approximately 400 percent over this same period.
Local government is stable, economical and efficient in taking care of streets, public
facilities and utilities. Grand Terrace has the lowest crime rate among the cities in the
region and is perceived as a very desirable place to live.
However, not all is ideal in Grand Terrace, for the City is striving to create a
commercial tax base and develop its industrial sector. County fees are increasing and
property tax revenues are down as people default on loans in this recessionary
economy. The City needs more revenue. Job creation and retention will increase in
priority in coming years, particularly as the surrounding job markets mature.
Since the recession of the early 1990's, housing in Grand Terrace has become more
affordable. The average price of a single family house in the City increased by a very
modest .61 percent per year during the period from 1989 through 2001 (reference
Section III.J, above). In addition, the single family home sales to low and moderate
income households have been assisted by the City's first time buyer purchase program,
which rehabilitates and re-sells foreclosed homes to low and moderate income
households. To date, 38 previously market rate homes have been rehabilitated and
resold as affordable dwelling units.
2. Cost Factors
a. Construction Costs
The single largest cost associated with building a new house is the cost of building
materials, comprising between 40 to 50 percent of the sales price of a home.
According to construction industry indicators, overall construction costs rose over 30
percent during the past decade, with rising energy costs a significant contributor.
Typical residential construction costs range from approximately $50 to $80 per square
foot$.
Lower housing costs can be achieved with the following factors: a) reduction in
amenities and quality of building materials (above a minimum acceptability for health,
safety, and adequate performance); b) availability of skilled construction crews who
will work for less than union wages; and c) use of manufactured housing (including
both mobile home and modular housing).
An additional factor related to construction costs is the number of units built at the
same time. As the number of units developed increases, construction costs over the
entire development are generally reduced based on economies of scale. This reduction
in costs is of particular benefit when density bonuses are utilized for the provision of
affordable housing.
8"2001 Residential Construction Costs",Marshall&Swift,Inc.
City of Grand Terrace
Draft Housing Element Update(January 7,2002)
b. Land Costs
In Grand Terrace, residential land cost vary depending on the cost of grading and
infrastructure associated with proposed development on the site. According to
information provided by local developers (May 2001), single-family zoned land ranges
from $7 to $8 per square foot, and multifamily zoned land averages about $5 to $7 per
square foot.
C. Financing
Home mortgage interest rates at the present time are relatively low. A fixed rate 30-
year loan for a new home currently carries interest rates from 6.75%. Lower initial
rates are available with Graduated Payment Mortgages (GPMs), Adjustable Rate
Mortgages (ARMs), and Buy-Do«n Mortgages.
Interest rates at the present time are not a constraint to affordable housing. Financing
for both construction and long term mortgages is generally available in Grand Terrace
subject to normal underwriting standards. However, a more critical impediment to
homeownership involves both the affordability of the housing stock and the ability of
potential buyers to fulfill down payment requirements. Typically, conventional home
loans will require 10 to 20 percent of the sale price as a down payment, which is the
largest constraint to first time homebuyers. The City's first time homebuyer program
is directed at this problem and, to date, by providing more favorable down payment
and financing terms, has 38 low to moderate income households purchase homes in
the City. '
J
3. Vacancy Rate
A market constraint that can affect the affordability as well as the availability of
housing types, sizes,price ranges and locations is the housing market vacancy rate. As
previously discussed in Section III, the City's overall vacancy rate was reported by the
State Department of Finance to be 5.0 percent, a rate which suggest a healthy housing
market balance of supply and demand.
C. Governmental Constraints
1. Land Use Controls
a. Density
The Community Development Element of the Grand Terrace General Plan sets forth
the City's policies for guiding local development. These policies,together with
existing zoning, establish the amount and distribution of land to be allocated for
various uses throughout the City.
Residential development in the City of Grand Terrace is permitted under the following
land use categories in accordance with the Land Use Element of the General Plan:
39
City of Grand Terrace
Draft Housing Element Update(January 7,2002)
Gross Allowable
Land Use Allowable Density with
Category Densily Density Bonus
Low-Density Residential 1-5 Units/ 1-7 Units/
(R1-7,200, R1-10,000 & Net Acre Net Acre
R1-20,000)
Medium-Density Residential 1-12 Units/ 1-18 Units/
(R2 &R3) Net Acre Net Acre
Pursuant to City Zoning Code Section 18.10.040, as amended in 1989, a density bonus
of up to twenty percent (20%) may be approved with a conditional use permit or
specific plan if various off-site improvements which benefit the general public are
included in the project. In addition, a density bonus of at least twenty-five percent
(25%) shall be approved if the proposed project meets the requirements of Chapter 4.2
of the California Government Code regarding dwelling units for low and moderate
income households. Therefore, actual densities allowed may reach 16 to 18 units per
acre when the topography, size and shape of lots will permit. While the amount of
vacant land remaining within the City is minimal and is located in hillside areas, land
with potential for redevelopment and infill housing is primarily found in the relatively
flat areas of the City, where increased densities are feasible,thus providing adequate
sites for the construction of affordable housing.
In the past, these density bonuses have been applied only to multiple family projects in
the R2 and R3 zones, mostly apartments, representing a constraint to the construction
of affordable housing in the single family districts. During this planning period, the
City proposes to adopt code amendments that will allow density bonuses in all
residential zones in the City; and will clarify that density bonuses of up to 25 percent
will be granted for residential projects if the units are rented to low and moderate
income households for a period of 15 years, and up to 45 percent if the units are rented
to low and very low income households for a period of 15 years.
b. Development Standards
The City's development standards are consistent with the parameters and policies
established in the General Plan and reflect an attempt to balance housing needs with
infrastructure capacities and environmental considerations. Standards regulating
development within the City are similar to those being used by other surrounding
communities and will not inhibit the development of a range of housing types within
the City. A complete listing of the City's development standards,by zoning district, is
available upon request.
The densities in which the potential new housing sites identified in Figure 2 can be
City of Grand Terrace
Draft Housing Element Update(January 7,2002)
developed will affect their housing unit production. However, these densities were not
arbitrarily established but, rather, respond to prevailing natural conditions.
Approximately 80 percent of the vacant, residentially designated land within the City
exists as hillsides that are difficult and costly to develop. As such, these areas have
been allocated for low density residential uses. Conversely, the relatively flat and
more readily developable areas have been designated for higher density residential
development. Moreover, recent experience has clearly shown that, with the
application of density bonuses incorporated into the City's zoning code, affordable
housing can be built under the densities established by the General Plan.
C. Parking Standards
Parking standards are currently similar to those used in other cities: a two-car garage
required for each single family dwelling and 2 spaces required per unit for multiple
family dwellings where one space shall be in a garage. Guest spaces are required in a
ratio of one guest parking space per 4 mulitiple dwelling units. It does not appear that
these standards have constrained affordable housing development in the past.
However, in order to provide greater incentives for the construction of affordable
housing, more flexible parking standards are now being considered for senior citizen
and other low income housing.
d. Open Space Exactions
Open space exactions/setback requirements in Grand Terrace are also very similar to
those used in other cities where the maximum lot coverage allowed varies from 40 to
60 percent of the lot, thereby providing: 1) sufficient usable open space, especially in
backyards; 2) enough space for a car to park in the front driveway approach to the
garage; and 3) enough separation between residences to ensure protection of privacy.
In the case of multiple family housing, 40 percent open space is required to provide
common social or recreational amenities/facilities for children, adults and elderly on-
site. Our experience indicates that this standard has not been a deterrent to past
affordable housing projects.
e. Design Review Standards
The City does not have design standards or guidelines which constrain development in
its residential districts. Single and multi-family units are reviewed on a case-by-case
basis for high quality construction and compatibility with existing surrounding
architecture. The basic philosophy of the City's design review process is to arrive at a
product that meets the City's goals and is financially feasible for the developer.
Unlike larger cities, the City of Grand Terrace has only one board (i.e., its Planning
Commission) which performs various review functions. Therefore, the design review
process is shorter than in other cities in the area. On the other hand, in the past, many
small projects required a public hearing. However,the City is currently processing
code amendments to eliminate the public hearing requirement for small projects, such
as room additions, accessory structures, etc. These projects will be processed
City of Grand Terrace
Draft Housing Element Update(January 7,2002)
administratively by City staff. Other improvements that have been or are currently
being made to streamline the design revie-w/permit process are:
• Implementation of one-step revie« process whereby the applicant comes to one
counter to receive information about the entire process. The Community and
Economic Development Department (CEDD)—Planning Division routes the
plans to other reviewing agencies and the case planner reports to the applicant
within 30 days.
1
• Implementation of an applicant-friendly approach whereby staff provides
significant attention to applicants, up front, to explain and inform them to the
process and basically serve as an expediter instead of a regulator, while City
standards are being enforced.
When staff realizes that an applicant does not have sufficient funds to comply
with City codes in constructing proposed improvements, staff directs the
applicant to the City's rehabilitation loan officer to apply for a property
rehabilitation loan. The property is inspected free of charge and the applicant
receives direct personal assistance in preparing the necessary paperwork to
verify loan eligibility and in preparing design plans for the improvements.
• Implementation of a project management approach, whereby a case planner
follows/monitors a project from initial sketches to issuance of a certificate of
occupancy through all departments and agencies. This allows applicants to
have more certainty about the status of their projects and to plan and acquire
financing while a project is under review. The case planner is responsible for
knowing the status of a project within the process at any point in time. This
also assists the City in ensuring implementation of conditions of approval.
• Implementation of easy to read"How to Do" lists for all requirements for
planning and building plancheck, thereby facilitating submission of complete
applications and saving applicants trips to the Community and Economic
Development (CEDD)—Planning Division.
In summary, any constraints posed by the design review/permit process in the
past are being eliminated.
f. Second Unit Ordinance
During this planning period, the City has revised its second unit ordinance (Chapter
18.69 of Zoning Code) to ensure that specific standards meet State law and do not
constrain the provision of affordable housing.
g. Manufactured Housing
The City of Grand Terrace Zoning Code, Chapter 18.66, addresses manufactured
housing. During this,planning period,the City will revise this section of the Zoning
42
City of Grand Terrace
Draft Housing Element Update(January 7,2002)
Code Currently to permit manufactured housing in every residential zone.
2. Building Codes
In addition to land use controls, local building codes also affect the cost of housing.
Grand Terrace has adopted the Uniform Building Code which establishes minimum
construction standards. These minimum standards cannot be revised to be less
stringent without sacrificing basic safety considerations and amenities. No major
reductions in construction costs are anticipated through revisions to local building
codes. However, working within the framework of the existing codes, the City will
continue to implement planning and development techniques that lower costs and
facilitate new construction to the extent possible.
3. Development Fees
As in the case of its processing requirements, the City's development fees are still
quite low when compared with surrounding areas. A summary of development fees
for the City is provided in Table 15. The fees that are charged by the City are a
reflection of the time and effort that must be expended by City staff in order to
properly review development plans. The City will continue to conduct periodic
surveys (both formal and informal) of other cities in the Grand Terrace area to ensure
that local processing costs do not become a constraint on housing production.

4. Permit Processing
The processing time needed to obtain development permits and required approvals is
often cited as a prime contributor to the high cost of housing. Additional time may be
necessary for environmental review, depending on the location and nature of a project.
Unnecessary delays will add to the cost of construction by increasing land holding
costs. Interest payments and inflation. Although these review processes may take a
substantial amount of time, they are necessary to integrate a new development into the
local urban environment.
In response to State law, California cities have been working to improve the efficiency
of permit and review processes by providing one-stop processing, thereby eliminating
duplication of effort. The passage of Assembly Bill 884, which took effect on January
1, 1978,has also helped to reduce government delays by: 1) limiting processing time
in most cases to one year; and 2) eliminating some "red tape" by requiring agencies to
specify the information required to complete an acceptable application.
In Grand Terrace, the average processing time for a development application is 1-2
months. The City of Grand Terrace has fully implemented the provisions of AB 884,
as well as more recent legislation requiring the establishment of "one-stop"permit
coordination. Moreover, the City has established a site and architectural review board
which consists of the members of the Planning Commission. This board meets at least
once a month to review all new construction proposals. It should also be mentioned
that, based on periodic surveys conducted by the City, local processing times are quite
shorter than those experienced in surrounding communities.
5. Service and Facility Infrastructure
Before a development permit is granted, it must be determined that public services and
facility systems are adequate to accommodate any increased demand generated by a
proposed project.
At present, all vacant residentially designated land within the City is in close proximity
to the infrastructure systems (i.e., utilities and streets necessary to provide service).
While construction of local interior street and minor utility extensions would be
required in some cases, the overall extent would not be great; the location of streets
and utility lines is shown in Sections E and F of the Master Environmental Assessment
included in the City's General Plan. No street extensions or major service system
improvements would be necessary for development of multi-family designated areas
directly adjacent to Mt. Vernon Avenue or single-family designated areas in the
western portion of the City, west of the AT & SF railroad tracks. Service systems are
adequate to provide for the higher densities expected to be associated with low- and
moderate-income developments.
6. Utilization of State and Federal Assistance Programs
The degree to which the City of Grand Terrace may participate in State and Federal
City of Grand Terrace
Draft Housing Element Update(January 7,2002)
housing programs is constrained by the nature of those programs, eligibility
requirements and funding limitations. The relatively high cost of housing in the City
is somewhat of a deterrent to the use of certain programs, i.e., Section 8 Existing and
Moderate Rehabilitation, CHFA Direct Lending, etc., by private developers/property
owners. This is due to the relatively low housing costs (purchase price or rent)
permitted under these programs. Recent and further proposed reductions in funding
levels also represent an impediment to the utilization of these programs.
7. Jobs/Housing Balance
In response to the requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act, the State of California
has formulated a State Implementation Plan (SIP) that sets forth the measures that are
necessary to ensure the attainment and maintenance of the National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS) contained in the Act. As a means of carrying out the SIP
and ensuring that the NAAQS are attained in the South Coast Air Basin, in which the
City of Grand Terrace is located,the Southern California Association of Governments
and the South Coast Air Quality Management District have adopted a Regional Air
Quality Management Plan (AQMP). The AQMP, in turn, requires all jurisdictions
within the South Coast Air Basin to revise their general plans to be consistent with the
SIP. A local general plan is consistent with the SIP if the development allowed
thereunder is consistent with the jobs/housing balance ratios in the SIP.
In responding to the requirements of the SIP, SCAG has formulated regional plans that
address future job and housing growth within the region, by promoting the concept of
balancing job growth and housing production with the various subregions of Southern
California as a means of addressing serious air quality and transportation issues. The
"Jobs/Housing Balance" concept forwards the idea that if people can live and work
within the same community, the Southern California region as whole will benefit from
reduced traffic congestion and improved air quality.
As defined by SCAG, a balanced subregion or community is one having an
employment to housing ratio of 1.2 jobs per dwelling unit. Recent SCAG data
estimated that there are approximately 2,653 combined public and private sector jobs
within the City of Grand Terrace. By comparison, there are currently 4,458 dwelling
units within the City. This translates into an employment to housing ratio of 0.59 jobs
per dwelling unit, and indicates that the City is "jobs poor" and"housing rich."
Therefore, adherence to the jobs/housing balance ratios in the SIP represents an actual
constraint on the expansion of housing opportunities within the City since the City is
"jobs poor" and needs to stress the development of jobs, rather than housing.

VII -THE HOUSING PROGRAM
During the past few years, the City has experienced significant revenue shortfalls, causing each City
department to cut costs and staff. Because of a reduction in the City Community and Economic
Development (CEDD)—Planning Division staff, the City has progressed more slowly than anticipated
in realizing certain goals and objectives of the Housing Element. However, the City is committed to
implementing its Housing Element and will continue to allocate available staff resources to housing
programs and policies.
In preparing this Housing Element Update, the City re-examined the goals and policies that give
direction to the City's housing programs, as well as the progress that has been made toward their
attainment. The housing goals that were adopted as part of the City's existing certified Housing
Element are responsive to the State housing goals and continue to reflect the desires and aspirations
of the community. This updated element refines those goals and reaffirms the City's commitment to
these State and local housing goals.
This Housing Program sets forth a multi-year schedule of actions for Grand Terrace to implement
housing policies and to achieve the City's housing goals and objectives. The anticipated impact,
responsible agency, potential funding, and timetable for each action is discussed. The area of impact,
i.e., City-wide or certain census tracts, has also been identified.
The anticipated accomplishments have been quantified where possible. These estimates were
generated on the basis of past performance as well as the resources that are available to the City for
addressing local housing needs. In this respect,the anticipated accomplishments are realistic. A
summary of quantifiable housing objectives is presented below.
Upon implementation, the housing program presented in this document is intended to eliminate all
identified existing housing needs in the City of Grand Terrace through City build-out, and all regional
housing requirements for the City for the planning period 1998-2005. Major components of this
housing program are as follows:
• During the years 1998-2000, the City committed redevelopment housing set-aside funds to
refinance the Highlands Apartments. Constructed during the last planning period with the help of
City-provided bond financing and density bonuses, 111 of the 556 Highlands Apartments units
were designated for low and moderate income households. At-risk of returning to market rate, the
City entered into an agreement with the owners of the Highlands Apartments, providing low
interest financing in return for a commitment to retain the 111 as affordable to low and moderate
income households for a period of 30 years, or until 2031.
• The City has residentially zoned sites that could yield up to 870 additional housing units. Of these
units,up to 480 units could be affordable to low and moderate income households (reference
Table 12).
• The City will pursue increased residential densities and mixed uses in the downtown area by
rezoning sites to higher density to provide more opportunities for low and moderate income
52
City of Grand Terrace
Draft Housing Element Update(January 7,2002)
households.
• The City expects at least 170 very low income units to be provided at build out of the community.
These very low income units would consist of the balance of Site No. 6, R3+units, transitional
housing (in the form of additional residential care facilities), and second units. A breakdown of
these units by category is shown in Table 13, above.
• The City has established a Housing Office for the administration and monitoring of low and
moderate income housing opportunities. The City plans to continue operation of this Housing
Office through the planning period.
• The City Housing Office has continued operation of its first-time homebuyer purchase program
which has resulted in the rehabilitation of substandard single family units, and their resale to low
and moderate income homeowners. To date, 38 homes have been rehabilitated and sold to
qualified low and moderate income households, 27 of which occurred during this planning period.
The City plans to continue and expand this program during the planning period as needed to meet
the community's low and moderate income housing needs, as described in this Housing Element.
• The City Housing Office has utilized redevelopment tax increment funds to initiate a
rehabilitation loan program to provide financial assistance to homeowners needing to repair and
maintain their homes. To date,the City rehab loan program has assisted 133 households,
consisting of 105 moderate income households, 22 low income households and 6 very low
income households, four of which occurred during this planning period. The City plans to
continue and expand this program during the planning period as needed to meet the community's
low and moderate income housing needs, as described in this Housing Element.
• The City has initiated a zoning amendment to include mixed use development in the downtown.
This amendment to the Barton Road Specific Plan will allow mixed use development consisting
of both medium/high density residential and commercial. The City has allocated redevelopment
tax increment funds and will offer bond financing to qualified developers interested in
undertaking a mixed use residential development that will permit approximately 50—75 senior
citizen town home developments, provided 30% (15- 20) of the units are affordable to very low
income senior households.
• The City will initiate a zoning amendment to rezone Site No. 6 on Figure 2, or other appropriate
site is this proves infeasible, to R3+with a density of 20 units/acre and with a density bonus to 25
units/acre which could qualify as very low income housing.
• The City will provide up to $250,000 of housing set-aside funds to be committed to the"Habitat
for Humanity" for the development of low-income housing.
This housing program represents a continuing and meaningful effort on the part of the City of Grand
Terrace to expand the local supply and affordability of housing.

Draft Housing Element Update(January 7,2002)
low income households. The City clearly,has adequate sites to accommodate its share of
the regional need for very low, low, moderate and upper income housing.
In addition to new construction accomplishments, the City of Grand Terrace expects to
continue and expand its rehabilitation and conservation efforts, as needed to meet the
communit-Cs low and moderate income housing needs, as described in this Housing
Element. (See Table 17, below.) Focusing on the current planning period(1998-2005),
the City expects that a total of 50 single family units will be rehabilitated. This estimate
is based on current and projected activity of the City's first time home-buyer purchase
assistance program and housing rehabilitation program. In addition, the City expects that
a total of 665 single and multifamily units, representing approximately 15% of its existing
housing stock, will be conserved through the continuing efforts of its code enforcement
program.

E. Priorities
As previously indicated, the ability of the City of Grand Terrace to affect local housing
needs is limited by the resources available for this purpose. These resources include land,
enabling legislation, political leverage or housing expertise, and funding. Local
governments in particular are constrained by the availability of funding for housing-
related activities.
In order that available resources are used most effectively,thereby maximizing the
benefits derived therefrom, a prioritization of local housing needs is essential as a guide
in distributing those resources. Therefore, where conflict may arise in the
implementation of this housing program, the City shall allocate its limited resources on
the basis of the following priorities:
Priority 1 Expansion of the local housing supply in terms of both market-rate and
City of Grand Terrace 59
Draft Housing Element Update(January 7,2002)
affordable housing through mixed use development in the Barton Road
Specific Plan area.
Priority 2 Provide opportunities for rental subsidies, density bonuses and mortgage
revenue bond financing at new multifamily developments to assist very
low income households.
Priority 3 Maintenance and improvement of the existing housing stock through
continuance and expansion of the City's housing rehabilitation and code
enforcement programs.
Priority 4 Preservation of existing affordable housing opportunities through the
continuance and expansion of the City's first time home buyer purchase
assistance program.

VIII. OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENERGY CONSERVATION
As non-renewable energy resources have been progressively depleted and energy costs continue
to rise, homeowners have become increasingly aware of energy conserving measures primarily as
a means to offset and control the rising costs of fuel. While the use of alternative energy sources
is most advantageous in developing new housing, there are numerous energy conserving
measures which can be retrofitted onto existing and older housing which conserve the use of non-
renewable fuels and save money.
These opportunities for energy conservation have been translated into actions in the preceding
Housing Program section of this element(e.g., residential rehabilitation program expanded to
include energy conservation measures as improvement eligible for assistance, incorporation of
energy conserving appliances, fixtures and other devices into the design of new residential units,
etc.
A. Insulation and Weatherproofing
Most older homes were built during times when there was little concern for the use of oil
and natural gas for heating purposes. Additionally, the window and door opening fixtures
were intended primarily for passage of light into the home. While many of these fixtures
were designed to meet these basic requirements, minimal effort was expended to assure
air-tight closures when both exterior doors and windows were closed. To conserve the
heat generated by gas or oil fired heating units and minimize the heat loss ratio, older
homes can be insulated in the attic space and exterior walls. Windows and exterior doors
can also be fitted with air-tight devices, caulking, or other means to maximize heating and
cooling efforts.
B. Natural Lighting
Daytime interior lighting costs can be significantly reduced or eliminated with the use of
properly designed and located skylights. Skylights can be easily installed at reasonable
expense in existing houses, thereby substantially reducing electricity costs and energy
consumption.
C. Solar Energy
Solar energy is a practical, cost effective, and environmentally sound way to heat and cool
a home. In California, with its plentiful year-round sunshine, the potential uses of solar
energy are numerous. With proper building designs, this resource provides for cooling in
the summer and heating in the winter; it can also heat water for domestic use and
swimming pools and generate electricity.
Unlike oil or natural gas, solar energy is an unlimited resource which will always be
available. Once a solar system is installed, the only additional costs are for the
maintenance or replacement of the system itself. The user is not subject to unpredictable
61
City of Grand Terrace
Draft Housing Element Update(January 7,2002)
fuel price increases. Moreover, solar energy can be utilized without any serious safety or
environmental concerns.
Solar heating and cooling systems are of three general types: passive, active, or a
combination thereof. In passive solar systems, the building structure itself is designed to
collect the sun's energy, then store and circulate the resulting heat similar to a green
house. Passive buildings are typically designed with a southerly orientation to maximize
solar exposure, and constructed with dense materials such as concrete or adobe to better
absorb the heat. Properly placed windows and overhanging eaves also contribute to
keeping a house cool.
Active systems collect and store solar energy in panels attached to the exterior of a house.
This type of system utilizes mechanical fans or pumps to circulate the warm/cool air,
while heated water can flow directly into a home's hot water system.
Although passive systems generally maximize use of the sun's energy and are less costly
to install, active systems have greater potential application to both cool and heat the house
and provide hot water. This may mean lower energy costs for Grand Terrace residents
presently dependent on conventional fuels. The City encourages the use of passive solar
systems in new residential construction to improve energy efficiency for its citizens.
D. Water Conservation
Simple water conservation techniques can save a family thousands of gallons of water per
year, plus many dollars in water and associated energy consumption costs. Many
plumbing products are now available which eliminate unnecessary water waste by
restricting the volume of water flow from faucets, shower heads, and toilets. The use of
plant materials in residential landscaping that are well adapted to the climate in the Grand
Terrace area can also measurably contribute to water conservation by reducing the need
for irrigation, much of which is often lost through evaporation. '
A family can also save water by simply fixing dripping faucets and using water more
conservatively. In addition, such conservation practices save on gas and electricity
needed to heat water and the sewage system facilities needed to treat it. By encouraging
residents to conserve water and retrofit existing plumbing fixtures with water saving
devices, the City can greatly reduce its water consumption needs and expenses.
E. Energy Audits
The Southern California Edison Company provides energy audits to local residents on
request. Many citizens are not aware of this program. The City will aid in expanding this
program by supplying the public with pertinent information regarding the process
including the appropriate contacts. Energy audits are extremely valuable in pinpointing
specific areas in residences which are responsible for energy losses. The inspections also
result in specific recommendations to remedy energy inefficiency.
F. New Construction
City of Grand Terrace 62
Draft Housing Element Update(January 7,2002)
The City of Grand Terrace will continue to require the incorporation of energy conserving
appliances, fixtures, and other devices into the design of new residential units. The City
will also continue to review new subdivisions to ensure that each lot optimizes proper
solar access and orientation to the extent possible. Additionally, the City will consider
enacting an ordinance that prohibits property owners from obstructing the solar access of
their neighbors. Two State laws enacted in 1978 (the Solar Rights Act and the Solar
Shade Control Act) offer a variety of methods to preserve solar access.
IX. FINANCIAL RESOURCES
In addition to the housing set aside funds pursuant to Community Redevelopment Law, there are
a variety of potential funding sources available to support affordable housing in the City of Grand
Terrace. They include the following:
A. HOME Funds
The Home Investment Partnership (HOME) Program is a federal program, created as a
result of the National Housing Affordability Act of 1990. Under HOME, HUD awards
funds to localities on the basis of a formula which takes into account tightness of the local
housing market, inadequate housing, poverty and housing production costs. Localities
must match HOME funds with 25% of funds from non-federal sources.
HOME funding is provided to jurisdictions to assist either rental housing or home
ownership through acquisition, construction, reconstruction, and/or rehabilitation of
affordable housing. Also possible is tenant based rental assistance, property acquisition,
site improvements, and other expenses related to the provision of affordable housing and
for projects that serve a group identified as having a special need related to housing.
B. Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG)
Through the federal CDBG program, HUD provides funds to local governments for
funding a range of community development activities. CDBG grants are awarded to the
City on a formula basis for housing activities, including acquisition, rehabilitation, home
buyer assistance, economic development, homeless services and public services. CDBG
funds are subject to certain restrictions and cannot be used for new construction of
housing. CDBG grants benefit primarily persons/households with incomes not exceeding
80 percent of the County Median Family Income.
City of Grand Terrace 63
Draft Housing Element Update(January 7,2002)
C. Section 108 Program
Section 108 is the loan guarantee provision of the CDBG program. This provision provides
communities with a source of financing for a variety of housing and economic development
activities. All rules and requirements of the CDBG program apply, and therefore all projects
and activities must principally benefit low and moderate income persons, aid in the
elimination or prevention of blight, or meet urgent needs of the community.
Monies received per the Section 108 loan guarantee program are limited to not more than 5
times the applicant's most recently approved CDBG amount, less prior Section 108
commitments. Activities eligible for these funds include: economic development activities
eligible under CDBG; acquisition of real property; rehabilitation of publicly owned property;
housing rehabilitation eligible under CDBG; construction, reconstruction or installation of
public facilities; related relocation, clearance or installation of public facilities; payment of
interest on the guaranteed loan and issuance costs of public offerings; debt service reserves;
and public works and site improvements.
Section 108 loans are secured and repaid by pledges of future and current CDBG funds.
Additional security requirements may also be imposed on a case by case basis.
D. Section 8 Rental Assistance Payments/Housing Certificates
The federal Section 8 program provides rental assistance to low- and moderate-income
families, elderly, and disabled persons who spend more than 50 percent of their monthly
income on rent. The subsidy represents the difference between the excess of 50 percent of the
recipients' monthly income and the federally approved fair market rents (FMR). In general,
the FMR for an area is the amount that would be needed to rent privately owned, decent, safe
and sanitary rental housing. Section 8 assistance is available in the following forms:
• Section 8 Existing Housing Certificate Program. Under the certificate program, the
landowner enters into a contract with the San Bernardino County Housing Authority
which establishes limits for the rent which will be subsidized for the Very Low income
unit to the Fair Market Rent. Eligible tenants must pay the highest of either 30 percent of
adjusted income, 10 percent of gross income, or the portion of welfare assistance
designated for housing. Housing subsidized through this program must meet standards of
safety and sanitation established by HUD.
r
• Section 8 Existing Housing Voucher Program - This program is similar to the Certificate
Program,however, rent for the units are not restricted. The tenant instead must pay the
difference between the Fair Market Rent standard and the actual rent.
The San Bernardino County Housing Authority manages approximately 107 Section 8 units in
the cities of Grand Terrace and Chino combined.
E. Section 202/811 Housing for Elderly or Handicapped Housing
City of Grand Terrace 64
Draft Housing Element Update(January 7,2002)
Under this federally administered program, direct loans are made to eligible, private nonprofit
organization and consumer operative sponsors to finance development of rental or cooperative
housing facilities for occupancy by elderly or handicapped persons. The interest rates on such
loans are determined annually. Section 8 funds are made available for all of the Section 202
units for the elderly. Rental assistance for 100 percent of the units for handicapped persons
has also recently been made available. Section 811 can be used to develop group homes,
independent living facilities, and intermediate care facilities.
Private, nonprofit sponsors may qualify for Section 202 no interest capital financing loans.
Households of one or more persons, the head of which is at least 62 years old or is a qualified
non-elderly handicapped person between the ages of 18 and 62, are eligible to live in these
units. There are currently no Section 202 projects in the City. The City of Ontario should
encourage non-profit sponsors to make application for HUD Section 202 allocations for
construction of rental housing for seniors and the handicapped and take all actions necessary
to expedite processing and approval of such projects.
F. California Housing Finance Agency (CHFA)
CHFA is a state of California administered program that provides below market interest rate
mortgage capital through the sale of tax-exempt notes and bonds. CHFA sells tax-exempt
Mortgage Revenue Bonds to provide below market rate financing through approved private
lenders to first-time homebuyers for the purchase of new or existing homes. The program
operates through participating lenders who originate loans for CHFA purchase.
CHFA assists nonprofit housing development corporations that acquire land,,provide building
plans, and package loans for self-help housing. Families, under the supervision of nonprofit
corporations, provide the majority of the construction labor. CHFA makes commitments to
self-help corporations for low-interest mortgages and provides credit enhancements to lenders
who provide construction financing and preferential interest rates.
CHFA also operates a Multifamily Rental Housing Mortgage Loan Program. This program
finances the construction or substantial rehabilitation of projects containing 20 or more units.
20 percent of the units in a project must be set aside for low income tenants at affordable rents
for the greater of 15 years or as long as the mortgage is outstanding.
A new program of CHFA is the HELP Program. This program provides low interest loan
assistance to local governments to assist in the provision of affordable housing. Terms of the
low interest loans are 3% simple interest per annum for up to ten years, with a maximum loan
amount of$2,000,000 per project.
G. Low Income Housing Tax Credit(LIHTC) Program
This State program provides for federal tax credits for private developers and investors which
agree to set aside all or a portion of their units for low income households and the elderly for
no less than 15 years. A minimum of 20 percent of the units must be made available to
6,5
City of Grand Terrace
Draft Housing Element Update(January 7,2002)
' families whose income is less than 50 percent of the County median income or 40 percent of
the units must be made available to families whose income is up to 80 percent of the median.
Developers and investors must apply for an allocation of housing units from the State
Allocation Committee, administered by the Tax Credit Allocation Committee. While the
program is beneficial in adding low income housing units to the local housing stock, the
statewide allocations are limited under this program and the application process is expensive
for the developer. In addition, single resident and elderly rental projects are not competitive
based on the State's selection criteria. The Redevelopment Agency will remain informed
about this program and will make the benefits of this program known to developers and
investors upon inquiry, potentially for multifamily projects which cater to larger families.
H. Multifamily Mortgage Revenue Bonds
Multifamily Mortgage Revenue Bonds, as discussed above, are used to finance construction
and mortgage loans, as well as capital improvements for multifamily housing. Federal law
requires 20 percent of the units in an assisted project to be reserved for lower income
households, whose income does not exceed 80 percent of the median household income for
the County. Additional state requirements regarding housing set-aside units are imposed on
the project. Funding for this program is administered by the California Debt Limit allocation
committee and has been extended indefinitely.
I. Housing Action Resource Trust
Housing Action Resource Trust (HART) is a California 501 (c) (3) nonprofit housing
- development corporation that provides assistance to prospective homebuyers, including pre-
purchase education and counseling, assistance in obtaining first mortgage financing, training
in home repairs, and down payment assistance in the form of a grant to first time low and
moderate income homebuyers.
I Senior Home Repair Program
This program is administered through the County of San Bernardino and is available for
residents of San Bernardino County and cooperating cities. The purpose of the program is to
provide eligible senior homeowners with a one-time grant in the form of labor and material to
correct code violations and/or health and safety problems.

Background:
State law recognizes the vital role local governments play in the supply and affordability of housing. Each
city or county in the State is required to adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan for the physical
development of the city or county. The housing element is one of the seven mandated elements of the local
general plan. Housing element law mandates that local governments adequately plan to meet the existing
and projected housing needs of all economic segments of the community. The law states that in order for
the private market to adequately address housing needs and demand, local governments must adopt land use
plans, zoning and regulatory systems xhich provide opportunities for, and do not unnecessarily constrain,
housing development. As a result, housing policy in California rests largely upon the effective
implementation of local general plans and,in particular, local housing elements. Housing element law also
requires the Department of Housing and Community Development(HCD)review local housing elements for
compliance with State law and to report its written findings to the local government.
ATTACHME T 2
22795 Barton Road • Grand Terrace, California 92313-5295 • (909) 824-6621
State law further requires that the Housing element be reviewed or updated "as frequently as appropriate"
in order to evaluate progress made and an} changes in conditions affecting housing needs. The element must
be revised as necessary with specific statutory schedules for the revisions as set out in the Government Code.
The updated Housing Element has been prepared to satisfy the requirement that Housing Element for Grand
Terrace be updated for the period of 1998 -2005.
The existing Housing Element of the General Plan was approved by the City Council on May 13, 1999
following a finding by the California Department of Housing and Community Development(HCD)that the
Element was in compliance with the State's housing law.
The updated Housing Element will provide the opportunity for the City to evaluate the progress made toward
the attainment of established housing goals and to adjust programs to respond to changing needs and/or fiscal
conditions within the community.
This Housing Element update has been prepared by Joann Lombardo, housing consultant to the City, in
accordance with applicable State law and consistent with the City's General Plan and the community's vision
of its housing goals and needs. The updated Element contains nine main discussion topics in conformance
with State law and the General Plan guidelines for the Housing Element.
Summary of the Updated Housing Element:
Following an introduction, the updated Element discusses a review of past accomplishments from 1989 -
1997. The differences between the projected housing goals and what was achieved is primarily measured
by the Regional Housing Needs Allocation Model (RHNA). The Southern California Association of
Governments(SCAG)established the RHNA model for the City of Grand Terrace. During the past planning
period 1989 - 1997,the City of Grand Terrace met its RHNA goals for affordable housing by designating
adequate sites for the construction of 255, broken down as follow: 72 "very low"; 83 "low"; and 100
"moderate";however, only 32%of the 320 needed"upper"units, i.e. 102"upper"units,were constructed.
In addition, the City has undertaken other specific actions during the past planning period to further its
housing goals. Some of these actions include:
• Initiate and operate a first-time buyer purchase program which has resulted in the rehabilitation of
substandard single family units and their resale to low and moderate income homeowners.
• Initiate and operate a rehabilitation load program to provide financial assistance to homeowners
needing to repair and maintain their homes.
Next the updated Housing Element provides a community profile of Grand Terrace. The City's population
has grown 46.3 percent from 8,100 in 1978 to 11,626 in 2001. Most of this growth occurred between 1978
and 1990. By the year 2020 Grand Terrace's residential community is expected to reach build-out,achieving
a population of 14,421,a 21.6%increase over 2001. In addition,the City's population is estimated to reside
in 4,221 households with an average of 2.75 persons per household; at build-out in 2020 the average
household size will increase to 2.82 persons.
The profile further shows that the rapid growth that has occurred in many San Bernardino County cities
during the past 10 years has mainly by-passed Grand Terrace.
The existing housing stock in the City has continued to age. Current City estimates indicate that
approximately 66 percent of the City's current housing stock is in excess of 25 years of age; however,
"housing condition" surveys have found that none of the City's dwelling units -were dilapidated (e.g.,
showing signs of major structural deficiencies such as sagging roofline, sagging porch. or roof damage
sufficient to permit water damage to structural elements.).
The residential vacancy rate is a measure of the number of unoccupied housing units on the market and is
a good indicator of the balance between housing supply and demand. A recent report from the State
Department of Finance estimates a city-wide vacancy rate for Grand Terrace of 5.0 percent, suggesting a
healthy balance between housing supply and demand.
The discussion of the community profile concludes with housing affordability in Grand Terrace. As
indicated by current home sales and rental rates within the City,there is a wide range of housing choices in
the City available to households in the low and moderate income ranges. However, the very low income
households in the City appear to be priced out of both the for-sale and rental market.
The next major topic in the updated Housing Element concerns the City's housing needs. Part of the City's
housing needs is based on the SCAG Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA). The Southern
California Association of Governments (SCAG)determines the housing growth needs by income category
for cities within its jurisdiction including Grand Terrace. Based on the RHNA determination for Grand
Terrace, the City is required to provide opportunity for the construction of 244 new dwelling units during
this planning period. Of these new units,39 should be affordable to very low income households,33 to low
income households, 52 to moderate income households and 120 to above moderate income households.
As part of the housing needs assessment, a land inventory was prepared of land suitable for residential
development. The individual sites of the inventory are shown on Figure 2 of the updated Housing Element
on page 25. This inventory is shown on Table 12. It shows that 659 additional units could be constructed
on available sites. There will be enough sites to satisfy the housing needs of the various income groups with
the exception of the above moderate income category.
The updated Housing Element also discusses the housing needs of separate segments of the population such
as the elderly/handicapped, large families, households headed by women and other groups. Various
programs are cited in the Housing Programs discussion to deal with these special groups.
The updated Housing Element contains four main housing goals together with various objectives and policies
to obtain those goals. The four main housing goals are:
• Provide and encourage a supply of housing suitable to the needs and sufficient in number to serve
existing and projected residents of Grand Terrace.
• Promote and encourage housing opportunities, accessible to employment centers and quality
community services for all economic segments of the community.
• Promote and encourage housing opportunities regardless of age, sex, ethnic background, marital
status, physical handicap for family size.
• Promote and encourage the rehabilitation of deteriorated dwelling units,and the conservation of the
currently sound housing stock.
The Housing Programs part of the updated Housing Element sets forth a multi-year schedule of actions for
Grand Terrace to implement housing policies and to achieve the City's Housing Goals and objectives. Major
components of this housing program are as follows:
• The City has 23 available residential and mixed-use sites that could yield up to 659 additional
housing units. Of these units, up to 189 units could be affordable to low and moderate income
households, and up to 95 units could be affordable to very low income households.
• R3+ is an new residential zoning category that will permit densities of up to 20 dwelling units per
acre, and 25 dwelling un its per acre with density bonus provisions. This zoning designation is
proposed for an existing 3.8 acre R3 zoned site located along Mirado Avenue, north of De Berry
Street.
• The Barton Road Specific Plan Office Professional (OP)zone will be amended in two locations to
allow the development of residential care facilities. Two sites north of Barton Road and east of
Preston Street are proposed for the rezoning. One of the sites is 0.8 acres and the other is I.I.acres.
• A second unit ordinance consistent with State law has been adopted.Over 50 second units could be
constructed providing opportunity for low-income housing.
• Up to $250,000 of housing set-aside funds will be committed to "Habitat for Humanity" for the
development of low-income housing.
• The City has established a Housing Office for the administration and monitoring of low and
moderate income housing opportunities. The City plans to continue operation of this Housing Office
through the planning period.
• The City Housing Office has continued operation of its first-time home buyer purchase program that
has resulted in the rehabilitation of substandard single family units, and the resale to low and
moderate income homeowners. To date,38 homes have been rehabilitated and sold to qualified low
and moderate income households,27 of which occurred during this planning period. The City plans
to continue and expand this program during the planning period as needed to meet the community's
low and moderate-income housing needs.
• The City Housing Office has utilized redevelopment tax increment funds to initiate a rehabilitation
load program to provide financial assistance to homeowners needing to repair and maintain their
homes. To date, the City rehab load program has assisted 133 households, consisting of 105
moderate income households,22 low income households and 6 very low income households, four
of which occurred during this planning period. The City plans to continue and expand this program
during the planning period as needed to meet the community's low and moderate-income housing
needs.
Lastly, the updated Housing Element discusses the anticipated accomplishments of the updated Element.
Focusing on the current planning period(1998 -2005),a total of 278 additional units could be constructed.
At least 239 of these units(86 percent of the total units)could be affordable to very low, low and moderate
income households. These estimates meet or exceed the housing needs identified tin SCAG's RHNA,except
in the upper income category which is expected to be 81 units short of SCAG's estimate. These estimates
reflect actual units already constructed during this planing period. plus City priority plans to provide units
affordable to the very low income though senior citizen housing subsidies.
Once the updated Housing Element is approved by the Council,the updated Element will be sent to the State
Department of Housing and Urban Development for review and certification. When the updated Element
is certified the City will comply with State law in that is will have an updated and certified Housing Element.'
Joann Lombardo,the housing consultant to the City,will be present at the public hearing on January 171 to
present the updated Housing Element to the Planning Commission and to answer any questions the Planning
Commission may have regarding the updated Element.
Recommendation:
The staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the updated Housing Element and recommend
to the City Council that it adopt the proposed Ordinance calling for the approval and adoption of the
proposed updated Housing Element as part of the General Plan of the City of Grand Terrace.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
This Initial Study is intended to serve as the environmental review of the proposed project, as required pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA), Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq. The proposed project to
City of Grand Terrace Housing Element Update. Pursuant to Section 65580 of the State of California Government l.oae,
each local community in the state must include a Housing Element within its General Plan. The Housing Element must
provide a specific analysis of the community's housing needs and a realistic set of programs designed to meet those
needs.
In accordance with Section 15063 of the Guidelines for implementation of CEQA, the City of Grand Terrace is required
to prepare an Initial Study to determine whether the proposed project (the Housing Element Update) may have a
significant effect on the environment. This Initial Study is intended to be an informational document providing the City
of Grand Terrace decision-makers, other public agencies, and the public with an objective assessment of the potential
environmental impacts that could result from implementation of the Housing Element proposed policies and programs.
The environmental analysis contained in this document indicates that there is no substantial evidence that the project
would have a significant effect on the environment. On the basis of this finding, a Negative Declaration is being
recommended for adoption by the City of Grand Terrace City Council.
APPROVALS REQUIRED
Pursuant to State housing element law, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is
empowered to review the housing element of each community to ensure its compliance with State law. The City Council—
will need to approve the Negative Declaration for the Housing Element and adopt the Housing Element. No other
approvals will be required.
INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE
The California Government Code requires internal consistency among the various elements of a general plan. Section
65300.5 of the Government Code states that the general plan and the parts and elements thereof shall comprise an
integrated and internally consistent and compatible statement of policies. All other elements of the Grand Terrace
General Plan have been recently or are in the process of being updated.
Section 15150 of the State CEQA Guidelines permits an environmental document to incorporate by reference other
documents that provide relevant data. This Initial Study adopts by reference the City of Grand Terrace General Plan.

*Note: The current 2005 Planning Period is calculated by SCAG over a 7.5 year period,from 1998-2005.
Local Housing Needs Assessment: Ardas of identified local housing needs in Grand Terrace include:
■ Housing availability and affordability for elderly households `
■ Housing affordability for very low income households.
■ Housing rehabilitation of older single-family and multiple-family housing structures.
The City is endeavoring to meet these identified local-housing needs through existing and planned housing
programs. (See 1998-2005 Housing Program discussion, below.)
Goals of the Housing Element Update: To address identified regional and local housing needs for this
planning period(1998-2005),the City Housing Element Update establishes the following goals.
■ Provide and encourage a supply of housing suitable to the needs and sufficient in number to serve
existing and projected residents of Grand Terrace.
■ Promote and encourage housing opportunities, accessible to employment centers and quality community
services for all economic segments of the community.
■ Promote and encourage housing opportunities regardless of age, sex, ethnic background, marital status,
physical handicap or family size.
■ Promote and encourage the rehabilitation of deteriorated dwelling units, and the conservation of the
currently sound housing stock.

7. Description of project: (Describe the whole action involved, including but not limited to later phases of the
project, and any secondary, support, or off-site features necessary for its implementation.)
State Government Code Requirements: Section 65580 of the Government Code(Housing Element law)
requires each locality to prepare a Housing Element to accomplish the following tasks:
■ Identify and to analyze the current and projected housing needs of all economic segments of the
community.
■ Evaluate current and potential constraints to meeting those needs, constraints due both to operation;,
the marketplace and to operations of government.
■ Inventory and assess the availability of land suitable for residential use and of opportunities for energy
conservation in residential development.
■ Set forth goals, objectives, policies and programs which are responsive to the identified housing needs,
governmental and non-governmental constraints, and identified housing opportunities.
This Housing Element Update covers the planning period from 1998-2005,detailing a schedule of actions the
Grand Terrace community is undertaking or plans to undertake to achieve its housing goals and objectives.
Further, the document updates and expands the City's adopted and certified 1997 Housing Element.
Specifically, the proposed Housing Element Update contains the following updated information:
SCAG Regional Housing Needs Assessment: State law requires jurisdictions to provide for their share -f
regional housing needs. As part of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA), the South
California Association of Governments(SCAG)determines the housing growth needs by income category for
cities within its jurisdiction, which includes the City of Grand Terrace. RHNA determinations for the City of
Grand Terrace during this planning period through 2005 are presented in Table 1. The RHNA identifies the
City's existing and future housing need broken down into four household income categories: "very low"(less
than 50% of the median income); "low" (50 to 80 percent of the median); "moderate" (80 to 120 percent of
the median); and"upper"(more than 120 percent of the median).As illustrated in the Table, Grand Terrace is
required to provide opportunity for the construction of 244 new dwelling units during this planning period.Of these new housing units, 39 should be affordable to very low-income households, 33 to low income
households, 52 to moderate-income households, and 120 to above moderate-income households.

City of Grand Terrace
1998-2005 Housing Program: The Housing Program sets forth a multi-year schedule of actions for Grand
Terrace to implement housing policies and to achieve the City's housing goals and objectives. Upon
implementation, the housing program is intended to eliminate all identified existing housing needs in the City
of Grand Terrace through City build-out, and all regional housing requirements for the City for the planning
period 1998-2005.Major components of this housing program are as follows:
■ The City has residentially zoned sites that could yield up to 659 additoinal housing units. Of these units,
up to 189 units could be affordable to low and moderate income households and up to 95 units could be
affordable to very low and low-income households.
■ R3+is a new residential zoning category that will permit densities of up to 20 dwelling units per acre and
25 dwelling units per acre with density bonus provisions. This zoning designation is proposed for an
existing 3.8 acre R3 zoned site located along Reed Avenue,north of De Berry Street.
■ The Barton Road Speific Plan Office Professional(BRSP-OP)zoning category will be amended to allow
for the development of residential care facilities within that category with the issuance of a condiitonal
use permit. Two sites located south of Barton Road and on the west side of Preston Street have been
identified which could be developed as residential care facilities under these new provisions. One of the
iste is 0.8 acres and the other is 1.1 acres in size.
■ A second unit ordinance consistent with State law has been adopted. Over 50 second family units could
be constructed providing an opportunity for low-income housing.
■ Up to $250,000 of housing set-aside funds will be committed to "Habitat for Humanity" for the
development of low-income housing.
■ The City has established a Housing Office for the administration and monitoring of low and moderate
income housing opportunities. The City plans to continue operation of this Housing Office through the
planning period.
■ The City Housing Office has continued operation of its first-time home buyer purchase program that has
resulted in the rehabilitation of substandard single family units, and their resale to low and moderate
income homeowners. To date, 38 homes have been rehabilitated and sold to qualified low and moderate
income households, 27 of which occurred during this planning period. The City plans to continue and
expand this program during the planning period as needed to meet the community's low and moderate —
income housing needs, as described in this Housing Element.
■ The City Housing Office has utilized redevelopment tax increment funds to initiate a rehabilitation loan
program to provide financial assistance to homeowners needing to repair and maintain their homes. To
date, the City rehab loan program has assisted 133 households, consisting of 105 moderate income
households, 22 low income households and 6 very low income households, four of which occurred during
this planning period. The City plans to continue and expand this program during the planning period as
needed to meet the community's low and moderate income housing needs, as described in this Housing
Element.
■ The City has initiated a zoning amendment to include mixed use development in the downtown. This
amendment to the Barton Road Specific Plan will allow mixed use development consisting of both
medium/high density residential and commercial. The City has allocated redevelopment tax increment
funds and will offer bond financing to qualified developers interested in undertaking a mixed use
residential development that will permit approximately 50 —75 senior citizen town home developments,
provided 30% (15-20) of the units are affordable to very low income senior households.
Through implementation of the 1998-2005 Housing Program, the City will endeavor to achieve the following
accomplishments.

4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION (To be completed by the Lead Agency)
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
X I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,there will not be
a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measure described on the attached pages has been
added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the environment,but at least one effect
1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has
been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, if the
effect is a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated." An
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be
addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all
potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE
DECLARATION pursuant to applicable legal standards, and(b)have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to
that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are
imposed upon the proposed project,nothing further is required.

5.0 EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
An Environmental Checklist Form (Form) has been used to evaluate the potential environmental
impacts associated with the proposed project. The Form has been prepared by the Resources Agency
of California to assist local governmental agencies, such as the City of Grand Terrace, in complying
with the requirements of the Statutes and Guidelines for implementing the California Environmental
Quality Act. In the Form, environmental effects are evaluated as follows:
1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately
supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in its response. A "No Impact" answer is
adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not
apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No
Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as
Housing Element
Initial Study Page 7
City of Grand Terrace
general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a
project-specific screening analysis).
2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site,
cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as
operational impacts.
3. Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the
checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is "Potentially Significant", "Less Than
Significant With Mitigation", or "Less Than Significant". "Potentially Significant Impact" is
appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or
more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required.
4. "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the
incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact"
to a "Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and
briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures
from an 'Earlier Analyses," as described in#5 below,may be cross-referenced).
5. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an
effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. In this case, a brief
discussion should identify the following:
(a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review.
(b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within
the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal
standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the
earlier analysis.
(c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures
Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures that were incorporated or refined from the
earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.
6. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts(e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances).
7. Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or
individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion.
8. The explanation of each issue should identify:
(a) The significance criteria or threshold, if any,used to evaluate each question.
(b) The mitigation measure identified, if any,to reduce the impact to less than significance.

CRA ITEM ( ) COUNCIL ITEM (X)
MEETING DATE: February 28, 2002
SUBJECT: Waste Disposal Agreement Amendment
FUNDING REQUIRED ( )
NO FUNDING REQUIRED (X)
In January 1998 the City of Grand Terrace and the County entered into a waste disposal
agreement. The agreement allows the disposal of solid waste generated within the city
limits of the City of Grand Terrace to be dedicated to the county landfill system. The
agreement,is for a period of 15 years at a guaranteed starting rate at$29.50 with provisions
for cost of living increases over the 15 year term. The current disposal,rate is $34.08 per
ton.
In March 2001 the County entered into a solid waste operations contract with Burtech
Waste Industries. In an effort to capture waste that is currently leaving the County system
a clause in the new contract allows the County contractor to bring back up to 300,000 tons
of solid waste to the disposal system that is currently being exported outside the County.
This currently exported waste is being brought back into the County at a preferential rate
of$20.50/ton to be adjusted in the future in the same manner as the Cities do currently.
The Cities contend-.that absent an agreement by the Cities that our current waste disposal
agreement prohibits the County from allowing disposal of waste at this preferential fee
without offering the'same fee to all the contracted cities. Currently the County and the
Cities are disputing this contention.
The 15 cities have been in negotiations with the County to determine an equitable way to
allow this currently exported waste to be brought back into the system that would be
beneficial to all the stakeholders, the County, and the Cities. In a formula developed for
this new amendment the Cities and the County have agreed to split the additional
incremental cash flow created by this transaction to be split evenly between the City and
the County. The Cities would further allocate the fee to the 15 WDA cities; 50% based on
a division equally among the Cities without regard for any other criteria, and 50% shall be
divided among WDA Cities based on population on a per capita basis.
The net per ton incremental cash flow is $6.47 of the$20.50 charged at the)gate. This will
produce approximately $3.24/ton of City revenue assuming a total tonnage of 300,000 tons
COUNCIL AGENDA 9TEM E�(O� 88
per year would yield approximately $1 million for the 15 WDA Cities. Based on the
distribution forecast that is attached as Exhibit A the City of Grand Terrace would receive
approximately$40,000 in annual new revenue from this source.
The 15 WDA Cities believe that this amendment strikes a good balance that allows the
County to profit by bringing currently exported waste back into the system and equitably
shares the same with the Cities whom are full partners in the Waste Disposal Agreement.
Currently as it is structured all 15 Cities must adopt this amendment by March 5' 2002 for
it to become effective.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
STAFF RECOMMENDS COUNCIL AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE
AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO WASTE DISPOSAL AGREEMENT.
FEB-13-2002 15:09 FROM-CITYOFYUCAIPA +9097909205 T-783' P-003/009 F-181
AMENDMENT No. 1

Disposal Agreement ) which is hereby amended as of this day
of , 2002 ("Amendment No. 1"),
Recitals
` A. On March 27, 2001 the County entered into a Solid Waste Operations
Contract ("Operations Contract; ) with Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc.
("Contractor"). During each fiscal year during the term of the Operations
Contract, the Contractor has the right and the obligation to dispose of at least
250,000 but not more than 300,000 tons of solid waste to the Disposal System.
In Amendment No. 3 to the Operations Contract, entered into on December 18,
2001- the amount of solid waste to be delivered for disposal in the Disposal
System from Larch 5, 2002 to and through June 30, 2002 is at least 31,250 but
not more than 150,000 tons of solid waste.
B. The solid waste which may be delivered to the Disposal System by the
Contractor is defined in Article 19 of the Operations Contract as solid waste that
is, (i) allowed to be disposed of in the Disposal System pursuant to federal, state
and local law; (ii) not being delivered to the Disposal System as of the date of the
Operations Contract; (III) being processed at the West Valley Material Recovery !
Facility or the Robert A Nelson Transfer Station, and (iv) delivered to the
Disposal System in transfer trailers. Such solid waste is referred to as the "Article
19 Solid Waste."
C. The amount to be paid to the County by the Contractor for the disposal of
Article 19 Solid Waste is $20.50 per ton, to be adjusted for Cost of Living
increases in the same percentage amount as the actual change made to the per
ton disposal fee charged by the County to Cities which have a Waste Disposal
Agreement ("WDA") with the County pursuant to the "Calculation for Escalation"
contained in Section 4.2 (6) of the WDA. Such per ton disposal fee is referred to
as the "Article 19 Disposal Fee."
D. The current Contract Rate payable by City to County for the disposal of
solid waste under the Waste Disposal Agreement is higher than the Article 19
i
Disposal Fee.
E. City contends that absent agreement by the Cities to the contrary, Section
3 5(A) of the Waste Disposal Agreement prohibits the County from allowing the
disposal of Article 19 Waste at the Article 19 Disposal Fee unless the County

makes available to the City a Contract Rate equal to the Article 19 Disposal Fee.
The County disputes this contention
F_ Notwithstanding their dispute, the County and City agree that there will be
benefits to the Disposal System and accordingly to the County, as the
owner/operator of the Disposal Systern, and to the City, as a user of the Disposal
System, of accepting Article 19 Solid Waste for disposal In the Disposal System.
Accordingly, on the terms provided herein, both City and County agree relative to
the acceptance of Article 19 Solid Waste to a limited waiver of their respective
rights and further, the County agrees to share a portion of such Article 19
Disposal Fee (the "Article 19 City Fee") with each city that entered into a Waste
Disposal Agreement, including City ("WDA Cities").
G The purpose of this Amendment No_ 1 is to acknowledge that: (i) City
agrees to waive its right under the provisions of Section 3.5(A) hereof with
respect to the Operations Contract, including the right of the County to accept
Article 19 Solid Waste on payment of Article 19 Disposal Fee without being
required to offer to City to adjust the current or future Contract Rate to equal the
Article 19 Disposal Fee; (ii) County agrees to waive any right it i nay have to
accept Article 19 Solid Waste except as provided herein; and (N) that the County
and City agree an the method of calculating and sharing with City its share from
the receipt of the Article 19 Disposal Fee, as described herein. This Amendment
No. 1 shall become effective only if and when all WDA Cities, including City, have
adopted and executed a counterpart of this Amendment No. 1 without
modifications and the County has adopted and executed each counterpart of this
Amendment No. 1. Attached as Exhibit A is a list of WDA Cities and their
respective share of Article 19 City Fee.
H. Pursuant to Amendment No 3 to the Operations Contract, the County
must mail notice to Contractor on or before March 5. 2002 of its decision to
cancel the right of Contractor to deliver Article 19 Solid Waste to the Disposal
System. If the County fails to take such action by such date (absent a further
amendment of the Operations Contract to extend such date) then Contractor's
rights to dispose of Article 19 Solid Waste in the Disposal System become
effective.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the forgoing recitals and the
following covenants and promises the parties agree as follows:
1. Limited Waiver of Ci `s Rights Under Wasta Delivery Agreement ana
Right of County to Accept Article_1_9 Solid Waste_ The parties agree that, for the
