closed session with its negotiator prior to the purchase, sale, exchange, or lease of
real property by or for the local agency to grant authority to its negotiator regarding
the price and terms of payment for the purchase, sale, exchange or lease. However,
prior to the closed session,the legislative body of the local agency shall hold an open
and public session in which it identifies its negotiator, the real property real or real
properties which the negotiators may concern, and the persons with whom its
negotiators may negotiate. The Council has repeatedly violated this section with the
apparent blessing of Mr.Harper who's responsibility is to advise the Council against
such violations. Mr. Harper and Mr. Schwab repeatedly have claimed that the City
does not have to disclose with whom or for how much he has negotiated, citing the
Brown Act states they do not have to disclose until escrow closes. Councilman
Miller has stated he always carries a copy of the Brown Act with him. I request that
Councilman Miller pass his copy down to Mr. Harper and Mr. Harper give us the
exact section of the Brown Act that states that escrow must close first. I have made
the sections of the Brown Act a matter of public record that state just the opposite.
From the advice of the attorneys of the First Amend Coalition the City is Requested
to"CURE AND CORRECT"all past instances and to abide by the Brown Act in the
future. This demand to "cure and correct" now puts the City under the legal
obligation to do so now. Beginning with whom the RDA/City is negotiating on the
Arliss Street house. By refusing to abide by the Brown Act the City risks law suits
by the community to force them to become law abiding. I respectfully request that
this statement be made a part of the public minutes of this meeting verbatim.
City Attorney Harper,indicated that the Community Redevelopment Agency and the
City Council will be meeting in Closed Session. He stated that the authorized
representative of the City is Tom Schwab, City Manager. The Negotiator for the
Real Estate Negotiations is the City Manager, Tom Schwab. The purpose of the
Closed Session under both the Redevelopment Agency and the City is to discuss
price and terms. The negotiations will be with the respective property owners.
Under the Redevelopment Agency those property owners would be the Jacobson
Group and Ms. Stringfield. For 22874 Arliss the representative is Bobbie Forbes.
Chairman Ferr6 announced that the agency met in Closed Session to discuss Real
Estate Negotiations - Instruction to Negotiator, Apn #1167-231-11, 1167-231-08,
1167-231-04, 1167-231-02,and 1167-331-01 and that there was no reportable action
taken.
Chairman Ferre adjourned the Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting at 8:00 p.m.,until the

CRA ITEM(X) COUNCIL ITEM( ) MEETING DATE: March 9, 2006
AGENDA ITEM
SUBJECT: MID YEAR BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS -FY 05-06
FUNDING REQUIRED
NO FUNDING REQUIRED XX
Traditionally the annual mid-year budget review has been held at the first council meeting in
February. Since the agenda of February 9 was dedicated to matters involving the Colton Unified
School District, and because I was already pre-registered for the annual CSMFO conference on
February 23, I am presenting the review at this meeting.
Staff is requesting the revenue estimates adjustment to the adopted budget as listed on
Attachment 1. Additional grant reimbursement for the Rollins Park renovation project was
received in December and was not an amount certain when the budget was adopted. Audit
guidelines require that any changes that increase or decrease total revenue estimates or total
appropriations require Board approval. There are no additional appropriations requested.
The Agency Board passed the FY 2005-2006 Budget on May 26, 2005. From July 1, 2005,
through February 28, 2006, a total of$1,628,354 appropriation adjustments were made for
redevelopment purposes.Schedule A, Budget Adjustments FY 2005-2006, lists these items
along with those of the City.
A mid year fund balance analysis is also attached. The Project Fund surplus assumes the sale of
property to Colton USD for the high school. The construction phase of the senior housing project
will continue into the next fiscal year so it is unlikely that the Housing Fund appropriations will
be spent as originally budgeted by June 30.
CRA AGENDA ITEM NO.
Community Redevelopment Agency of GRAND TERRACE
Staff Recommends that the Agency Board:
APPROVE THE REVENUE ADJUSTMENT TO THE FY05-06
AGENCY BUDGET AS PRESENTED BY STAFF ON ATTACHMENT 1

Additional grant funding was received to reimburse the Agency Project Fund for costs
incurred last year for the Rollins Park renovation project. This additional grant money
was not a certainty before the budget was prepared and adopted, and therefore it was not
included in the original estimates.
FY05-06 Appropriations Adjustments:
None requested.

PUBLIC COMMENT
Patricia Farley, 12513 Michigan Street, expressed her concern with the expansion of the
trucking business on Michigan. She realizes that all of the members of the current Council
may not have been a part of the decision,however, Council Members have the obligation to
become informed. She stated that Mr.Swertfeger is expanding his business and has violated
more than one of the conditions. She stated that he has requested a permit to continue to
expand and build on that property. She feels that the Council needs to listen to the
complaints and understand them. She feels that this business should not be allowed to
expand but it needs to be completely removed. Trucks come in and out of the business at all •
hours. She requested that the City hire a good attorney to protect the residents with regards
Council Minutes
February 23,2006

to this business.
Bill Hays, 22114 De Berry Street, in the last several weeks the teenage gang that runs
Michigan and DeBerry Street has been converging after 1:00 a.m. There have been a couple
of times I have called the Sheriff's Office when the subjects were entering the back yard of
my neighbor. The response time once was about 40 minutes and the second time the same
early a.m. night was not at all. I confronted them myself and just before they split up and
ran, here is the sprinkler head they broke off and threw at me. These subjects wear black
hooded sweatshirts and pull the hoods over their faces. Even if it weren't pitch black you
would be unable to give a description other than height. I pay about$80.00 a year for a 75
watt street light on Michigan. The corner of Michigan and DeBerry are where these punks
congregate and then do their mischief going east on DeBerry. Two weeks ago I had to call
my neighbors, the owners of Stonewood Construction and have Gary turn on his outside
lights because several of this little gang had entered his property. As soon as the lights came
on they ran. My other neighbors,the Leathers on Michigan and the Smiths on DeBerry were
victims of auto burglaries, neither of which were reported to the Sheriff's Department
because they felt it would do no good. The Leathers vehicle they attempted to set on fire.
My request to the City is that since you won't provide us with adequate protection at least
provide us with deterrent. Take three hundred dollars a year of the 24 million dollar budget
and install three street lights. One on the telephone pole on the North/East corner ofDeBerry
and Michigan. One on the next telephone pole going east on DeBerry on the North side of
the street and the third on one of the telephone poles between the one described above and
our property and Councilwoman Cortes' home. These are dark sections of the street that
allow this group to create their trouble. I request the City respond to this request before
someone gets hurt by these delinquents. Now at the Council Meeting last month I asked the
question,in writing,what is the source of the$24,000,000 in this year's budget? Even when
in writing Mr. Schwab did not answer the question. I request he do so this time.
BarneyIKarger, 11668 Bernardo Way,apologized to Jo Stringfield fornot listening to her and
feels that she is a good member of Grand Terrace. He feels that the City is not doing the
right thing and feels that they are not dealing in good faith.
City Manager Schwab, stated that the Swertfeger operation pre-dates incorporation of the
City and is there as a pre-existing non-conforming use. A metal building was approved some
time ago. Staff is negotiating with Swertfeger on their public improvements required for the
building of the metal building. He stated that staff will look at putting in street lights in the
locations that Mr.Hays described. He feels that he did in fact answer all of the questions that
Mr. Hays asked at the last meeting and in terms of a $24 million dollar budget, we have
never had a budget of that size. The City's budget averages between 10 and 13 million
dollars. He stated that two letters have been sent out to Ms. Stringfield and one phone call
with her attorney so staff is in contact with her. Staff has been in contact for a long time with
Mr.Yasin in negotiating for the purchase of his property. He met with Mr.Yasin personally

this week and have a meeting scheduled for next week to negotiate the terms of his sale of
the property.
Councilmember Garcia, requested clarification on when Swertfeger's business came to
Grand Terrace in writing.

COUNCIL REPORTS
Councilmember Hilkey, expressed his satisfaction that staff is putting together a joint
meeting with the Planning Commission and the City Council and CRA to discuss the
development along Barton Road. It is his desire that it be an open session that allows for
more public input than the content of the City Council Meetings. He has asked that the
Chamber of Commerce chair or host a meeting that show both developers and they are a little
hesitant. His concern with having it at City Hall is that it tends to be another dog and pony
show for the City. He is concerned if there are the same restrictions on communications at
this meeting that there are at Council Meetings we won't accomplish what needs to be
accomplished. His memory doesn't match what he has heard about Swertfeger's business.
He would also like to see a thorough report on the originatiorrof that company. He doesn't

remember approving a metal building and feels that it is a filthy eyesore and doesn't
understand why we aren't citing them the way we should. He requested clarification on what
offers were made to Jo Stringfield. His expectancy after the last meeting was that the process
is that we come up with a value and that someone makes an offer for that value and expected
to see that fairly quickly.
10 Councilmember Garcia, complimented the new SSS Officer Amber Emon, who is getting
on the graffiti issue. She appreciates Mr. Hays' recommendations. Expressed her concern
when the Edison line in front of the Highlands Apartment came down and wants to make
sure that Edison makes sure the poles are secure and safe. She reported that La Pasta Italia
has Ravioli Fridays,where they have different types of Ravioli and encouraged everyone to
try it. She said that the owners of Siyaka live in Grand Terrace and encouraged everyone to
try their restaurant. She reported that it looks like we are getting an ice cream shop in Grand
Terrace,which would be a nice addition to the City. s
Mayor Pro Tem Cortes, stated that Mr. Larkin had an announcement to make with regards
to Riverside Highland Water Co.
Don Larkin, 1450 E.Washington, Colton,stated that he is representing Riverside Highland
Water Company and that the Annual Stockholders Meeting will be held on March 23,2006
' at 9:00 a.m. at City Hall. All property owners are encouraged to attend or to be sure to fill
out their proxy.
Mayor Pro Tem Cortes, requested that the editor of the Blue Mountain Outlook put that
information in the next issue as well as the Child Passenger Safety information.
Mayor Ferr6, reported that she will be representing the City of Grand Terrace at the City
Selection Committee Meeting on March 1. At that meeting they will appoint a chair and
vice-chair for the City Selection Committee and they will appoint a primary member and an
alternate member for the Local Agency Formation Committee(LAFCO). She stated that if
any of the Councilmembers have anyone that they would like to highlight, please let her
know after the meeting.
PUBLIC HEARING
6A. Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) Program Year 2006-07
Steve Berry, Assistant City Manager, reported that the City of Grand Terrace is under
contract with the County of San Bernardino Department of Economic and Community
Development (ECD) who is responsible for the review and compliance of programs
conducted within Grand Terrace. This includes not only the conducting of the grant process,
but also the administration of project implementation and compliance. The County has a

process which follows the guidelines of HUD in requiring public hearings and input into the
grant allocation process for these funds. For Grand Terrace,this includes a public hearing,
submittal of recommended projects to ECD who qualifies for the eligible programs, then
returns those to the City for prioritization and funding. Additionally, during the grant
process, outside agencies may submit projects directly to the County, however, the final
determination of the spending of the City allocation is with the purview of the city Council.
The City has been notified to expect$54,000 for FY 2006-07. There is a 15%funding limit
for public service activities. Staff is recommending the following list for funding:
Public Service Projects:
1. San Bernardino County Library,Log No. 32142,continuation of Literacy Education
at the Grand Terrace Library Branch. Total request is for$10,000 staff recommends
full funding of our maximum public service amount of$8,100.
Capital Improvement Projects:
1. City of Grand Terrace,Log No. 32023,New-Install Audible signal devices at Major
Traff c Intersections (Preston and Barton, Canal and Barton, DeBerry and Mt.
Vernon) in Grand Terrace. Estimated project funding cost $15,000.
2. City of Grand Terrace, Log No. 32024, Hearing Assisted Wireless Station for City
Council Chambers. Estimated project funding cost$8,000.
Mayor Ferr6 opened the Public Hearing.
Patricia Farley, 12513 Michigan Street, stated that if the public had more access to the staff
reports she would be better informed on the options. She commended the Council on getting
some of the minutes on the web and hopes that all of them get on there including the
Planning Commission and that they are complete and accurate as to what the individuals
state. She feels that she has been misunderstood because of her gruffness and introduced
who she is. She stated that she is a special education teacher and has a long career in special
education and cares very much about kids and knows what to expect from them. As a
teacher she has to plan how they are going to move through her room etc. without doing
graffiti and fighting. It makes her angry when a developer comes in and insults her
intelligence. She feels that she is a good resource for the Council. She feels that when
Council is making decisions they rely on staff to advise them and they need to know what
the information means that is provided. She is not opposed to libraries, senior citizens,and
a high school she is opposed to what has been let loose in the community and feels that the
Council does not know what is going to happen and she feels like she doesn't have enough
time to tell them. She feels that they should be obligated to listen to the residents for more
than three minutes. She requested that the Council make themselves available. She
indicated that there is a community awareness group which would be a good opportunity for

the Council to come and meet with and talk to them.
Mayor Ferr6 returned discussion to the Council.
Councilmember Hilkey, questioned what happened to the piece of property that they were
going to use CDBG funds to clean up.
City Manager Schwab,responded that K&J Plating is about to go bankrupt and the City is
doing everything that we can to try and take over the site and clean it up using block grant
money. We are negotiating with The State Department of Toxic Substance Control(DTSC)
on a mitigation plan, however, the process is very long.
Councilmember Hilkev, stated that the audible signal devices can be annoying and
questioned if there is a better project to spend the money on.• He questioned if the City is
allocating CDBG money to the library does the Council have some say so in the running of
the library. He feels that it is not going in the direction like it was before and it seems like
the City has no control over it.
CityManager Schwab, responded that we do not have any direct control. We are giving a
grant to the County Library system to operate. He feels that if there was a specific issue that
needed to be addressed that they would listen.
Councilmember Garcia, questioned if they wanted to further discuss the Audible Signal
devices, would there be time.
Assistant Ci Mana eg r Berry,responded that Council is just approving the amount that will
be allocated to the project, however, the project can be modified.
Mayor Pro Tem Cortes, feels that the Audible Signal Devices are helpful.
Mayor Ferr6, questioned if Council is approving the amount of money to be funded and the
locations will be determined later.
Assistant City Manager Berry,responded that the locations were included in the report.
City Manager Schwab, stated that staff will go out to bid and will request bids for each
intersection so that it is not an all or nothing project.

Background:
The first public hearing for this project was held on January 26, 20006 and was continued
to a future Council meeting in order to allow the staff to work with the applicants to address
several concerns raised at the public hearing. These concerns consisted of the following
items:
1. Traffic Study
2. Wood fences- vs. block walls on the perimeter of the project.
3. Need fo more opens space and recreation facilities.
4. On-street parking problems.
5. Offsite drainage through the Highlands apartments
6. Need for a lighting plan.
22795 Barton Road - Grand Terrace, California 92j3-1-3=5295 H�%fJgI& firEA N Qe f „�
The staff met with the applicants on two occasions following the January 26" public
hearing. We also contacted the City's Traffic Engineer who responded in writing as to the
necessity for a traffic study. The following discussion is based on those meetings and the
response from the City's Traffic Engineer.
At the January 26 public hearing, the necessity of a "traffic study" was raised mainly
because of the number of bedrooms proposed for this development. The City's Traffic
Engineer indicated in a memorandum dated February 13, 2006 that "a traffic impact
analysis is not required"even taking into consideration the number of bedrooms proposed.
A copy of this memorandum is attached to this report. (Please see Attachment 1A.)
Additionally, Mr. Craig Neustaedter, the City's Traffic Engineer, will be present at the
continued public hearing to answer any additional questions regarding traffic issues.
Regarding the fencing and block wall on the perimeter of the project, the applicants have
indicated that they are proposing a 5 foot high, white vinyl fence on the perimeter of the
site. In some locations,this vinyl fence will be located on top of a block retaining wall. The
applicants have indicated that they feel the white vinyl fence will break-up the appearance
and height of the perimeter retaining wall and fencing, especially along the southerly
boundary of the project where the retaining wall and fencing will have an average height
of about 10 feet. The proposed vinyl fence and retaining wall are shown on Section "B"of
Attachment 2A. Also shown is the proposed 5 foot high precision block wall with split faced
pilasters along Mt. Vernon on Section "A" of Attachment 2A
For the proposed recreational facilities, the applicants have prepared a detailed plan 1
showing a "tot lot"for the-open space area in the middle of the development. The "tot lot"
is shown on Attachment 3A included in this report. In regards to the amount of open space
for this development, the applicants will make a short presentation to show how this
proposed development is similar to other developments in Southern California where
similar layouts have worked.
The amount of parking provided for this development will greatly exceed the amount of
parking required by the City's Zoning Code. Each unit will have two spaces in a garage
and two additional open parking spaces in front of the garage. In addition, there are two,
open parking areas on the north side of the interior island area, near the open recreation
area, and on the east side of this interior island area. This parking will serve the needs of
guest or visitor parking. The total amount of open parking in these two areas is 18 spaces.
Given the number of parking spaces provided per unit (two in the garage and two on the
driveway in front of the garage)and the,18 spaces in the two guest parking areas,the total
amount of parking provided will be 158 spaces. The amount of parking required underthe
Code is 79. So,the amount of off-street parking is exactly twice what is required by Code.
(158_2=79)In addition,the applicants have provided a drawing,Attachment4A,showing
the parking layout for the project.
Regarding the drainage for the site and the effect on the downstream Highlands property
to the west, the applicant's engineer will be present to discuss in detail how this drainage
system for the development will work. It should also be pointed out that the City Engineer
is satisfied that the proposed drainage;system will work.
Lastly,the applicants have provided staff with a lighting plan for the development showing
that there will be five(5)lighting standards distributed throughout the development around
the middle island. (Please see Attachment 5A for the street light drawing.) In addition,one
of the conditions of approval for the Site and Architectural Review requires the submittal
of an exterior lighting plan. Staff feels that this will be adequate number of lighting
standards to provide interior lighting to the project.
The Planning Commission's and staffs recommendation remains the same as for the
January 26" meeting that this development be approved.
For reference and continuity, Staff has also provided a copy of the Staff report from the
r January 261h meeting along with the Exhibits for that report. The proposed Ordinance for
the Specific Plan No. 05-02 and the proposed Resolution of Approval for the Vesting
Tentative Tract Map No. 05-03 are labeled Exhibits 4 and 5 respectively,
Recommendation:
The Planning Commission and Staff recommend that the City Council approve the
Ordinance for the Adoption of Specific Plan'No. 05-02 (Exhibit 4) and the Resolution of
Approval for Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 05-03 (County No. 17766) (Exhibit 5).

Subject: Greenbrier Project (Specific Plan #05-02) Traffic Impact Analysis
The following is my response concerning the recommendation to have a traffic impact
analysis prepared by the applicant for the Greenbrier Project:
The proposed project includes 35 single-family dwelling units. The project site is located
west of Mount Vernon Ave., south of the intersection with Grand Terrace Road/Canal Street.
Project access will be taken from Mount Vernon Ave..
Based on ITE trip generation factors, it is estimated that the project will generate 26 trips in
the typical weekday a.m. peak hour and 35 trips in the typical weekday p.m. peak hour. The
average weekday two-way trip generation for the project is estimated at 335 trips.
The project trip generation has been questioned because many of the Greenbrier units will
have four bedrooms. The ITE trip generation manual does not discuss whether or not the
rate data for single family dwelling units is appropriate for units with four bedrooms. Given
that the ITE trip generation manual is silent on this question, it is possible that the predicted
project trip generation may be slightly low. However, it is extremely unlikely that the
forecasted project trip generation would be more than 25% greater than the estimates cited
above.
The two major intersections most adjacent to the project site are Mount Vernon Ave. at Grand
Terrace Road/Canal Street and Mount Vernon Ave. at Barton Road. All trips going to and
from the project site will pass through either one of these two intersections.
The following table summarizes the estimated contribution of traffic generated by the
Greenbrier Project to these two intersections.
Intersection A.M. Peak Hour P.M. Peak Hour
Mount Vernon at: Project Inter: °/sage Project Inter. %age
volume* volume volume* volume
Grand Terrace 16 627 ' 3 22 1076 2
Barton 16 2258' 7 22 2874 .7
*Project volume assumes 25% increase for four-bedroom units.
Both of these intersections have recently been analyzed as part of the circulation
privatization study that TEP has completed for the city. The results of this study show that
Transportation Engineering and Planning, Inc.
ATTACHMENT lA
currently Mount Vernon at Grand Terrace Road/Canal Street operates at level of service
(LOS)A in the a.m. peak hour and LOS B in the p.m. peak hour. The intersection of Mount
Vernon at Barton Road operates at LOS C in both the a.m. and p.m. peak hour.
The study also shows that the intersection of Mount Vernon at Grand Terrace Road/Canal
Street currently warrants signalization. This improvement is currently needed, and is not
attributable to future impacts of the Greenbrier Project. However, if this project is approved it
will be required to pay the city's development impact fee for circulation improvements. A
portion of these fees may be earmarked for construction of the traffic signal.
Based on the information detailed above, it can easily be concluded that the Greenbrier
-' Project would have no significant traffic impacts. A traffic impact analysis is not needed.

Background:
The applicants are requesting approval to construct 35 single family, detached,
condominium units with garage parking (total of 70 parking spaces) and 18 open guest
parking. All of the units will be two-stories in height with a "California Spanish bungalow"
style. "Lot" sizes for the individual units will range from 2,676 feet to 4,341 square feet.
The average "lot" size will be about 3,000 sq. ft. A common open space area of about
5,300 sq. ft. will be located in the center of the development. The site will be accessed by
a single, non-gated vehicular entrance from Mt. Vernon at its southeast corner. The
internal street system will be provided by a 26 foot wide loop private street. Th ere will also
be a 26 foot wide emergency vehicle access to provide secondary access to the interior
of the site. With a proposed density of 9.5 units per acre, the applicants believe this
proposed new development will act as a "transition" between the existing single family
22795 Barton Road - Grand Terrace, California 92313-5295 - 9o9i s24--EMPI
4 ►rrr i Ar 'nX rF.NT 6A
homes on the east side of Mt. Vernon and the Highlands Apartments on the west side of
Mt. Vernon.
The subject site is presently occupied by an older single family residence and several
accessory buildings and structures which will be demolished for the new development.
The topography of the site slopes downward from east to west with a grade of about 4.5%.
In addition,there are substantial slopes on the perimeter of the property with the steepest
being along the southerly boundary of the site. The Highlands Apartments which average
about 17 units/acre lie to the north, west and south and are, mainly, at a lower elevation
than the subject site.The proposed project will be enclosed by a 6 foot high screening wall
and a decorative fence with pilasters along Mt. Vernon.
On December 15,2005 the Planning Commission unanimously recommended to the City
Council the approval of Specific Plan No. 05-02 (SP-05-02) and Vesting Tentative Tract
No.05-03(VTTM-05-03). The Planning Commission also approved Site and Architectural
Review applications No.'s 05-19 and 05-24 (one for each proposed floor plan) contingent
upon the approval of the Specific Plan and the Vesting Tentative Tract Map. The Site and
Architectural Review applications were for the design and appearance of the individual
single family units.
It should be noted that the only requests that are before the City Council are the proposed
Specific Plan No. 05-02 and the proposed Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 05-03 to
subdivide the subject site. The two companion Site and Architectural Review applications,
SA-05-19 and SA-05-24 have already been approved by the Planning Commission.
Specific Plan:
The site is located in the R3 (Medium Density Residential) Zone as is the surrounding
Highlands Apartments complex. The City's Zoning Code does not contain an existing
zoning classification, including the R3 Zone, that would accommodate the proposed
project. Therefore, the applicants filed Specific Plan No. 05-02 to permit the requested
project to go forward with the proposed development standards.
The Specific Plan contains a detailed discussion of the proposed project including types
of uses, architectural styles, development standards to be employed, grading/drainage
discussion and proposed phasing. It also includes a description of the project setting, site
characteristics, surrounding uses and a statement as to the project's relationship to the
City's General Plan. As such, the submitted Specific Plan meets the requirements of the
Government Code and will serve as the future zoning for the site.
A copy of the proposed Specific Plan No. 05-02, as recommended for approval by the
City's Planning Commission, is attached here as Exhibit A.
Vestinq Tentative Tract Map:
This project is a proposed condominium development; therefore, the necessity for the
tentative tract map. The"vesting"portion of the map means that the rules and regulations
of the City at the time the filing of the tract map was deemed "complete"will apply to this
project. As a condominium project, only one lot is shown on the map. Individual buyers
will be purchasing"air rights"to their individual unit and not an in lot. The "lot lines"
shown on the site plan of the project are akin to the "lot lines"in mobilehome development
and will not be recorded "lot lines" for subdivision purposes.
The proposed vesting tentative map shows such details as the existing development on
the site, existing utilities, adjacent streets, existing easements,the location of existing and

Determination: ❑Mandatory Findings of Significance
0n the basis of this initial evaluation(To be completed by the Lead Agency):
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 measures described on an attached sheet have been added
to the project. A MITIGATED 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 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 ' act" or "potentially 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,there WILL NOT

Analysis
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts:
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 the parentheses
following each question. 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 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) "Potential Significant Impact"is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is
significant. If there are one or.more "Potential Significant Impact" entries when the
determination is made, and EIR is required.
4) "Potential Significant Unless Mitigated Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of
mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potential 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 Section XVII, "Earlier Analyses,"may be cross-referenced).
5) Earlier Analyses may be used where,pursuant to the tiering,program EIR, or other CEQA
process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration.
Section 15063(c)(3)(D). Earlier analyses are discussed in Section XVII at the end of the
checklist.
6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information
sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). References to a
previously prepared or outside document should,where appropriate,include a reference to
the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. A source list should be attached,and
other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion.

I. Land Use and Planning. Would the proposal:
a) Conflict with general elan designation or zoning? ❑ ❑ ❑
(Source: General Plan Categories Map; and Zoning
District Map—This will mitigated by the filing of a
Specific Plan which will act as the Zoning for this site.)
b) Conflict with applicable environmental plans or ❑ ❑ ❑
policies adopted by agencies with jurisdiction over the
project?(There are no known agencies where the
proposed project would cause a conflict.)
c) Be incompatible with existing land use in the vicinity?
(Zoning District Map,Zoning Regulations, City Zoning ❑ ❑ ❑
Code)
d) Affect agricultural resources or operations(e.g.,
impacts to soils or farmlands, or impacts from ❑ ❑ ❑
incompatible land uses)? (There are no significant
agricultural resources in Grand Terrace)
�) Disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an
established community(including a low-income or ❑
minority community)? .(The site is relatively small and ❑ ❑
is-vacant. It will not divide any portion of the
community.)
A brief explanation to answer I:
The proposed is inconsistent with'some development standards of the existing R3 zoning of the site;therefore,a Specific Plan
has been filed which will act as the new zoning for the site with new development standards. The Specific Plan will have to be
written to conform to the requirements of State Law. The project with its modified development standards could be
incompatible with nearby single family development but the potential impact will be less than significant because of the
proposed landscaping and architectural design. In addition,there are no agricultural resources in Grand Terrace and no part of
the community will be disrupted by this project.
Finding:Potential impact reduced to a level of insignificance with mitigation measure. If approved,
the Specific Plan will eliminate the conflicts with the existing R3 Zoning of the site.

II. Population and Housing. Would the proposal:
a) Cumulatively exceed official regional or local
population projections?(This project is consistent ❑ ❑ ❑
with the City's General Plan and the number of units
proposed is about 80%of the maximum density
allowed in the existing R3 Zone.)
b) Induce substantial growth in an area either directly or ❑ ❑ ❑
indirectly(e.g. through projects in an undeveloped area
or extension of major infrastructure)?(This project is
an "infill"type project; the number of unit proposed
will not necessitate any expansion of services.)
c) Displace existing housing, especially affordable ❑ ❑ ❑
housing? (The property is presently occupied by an old
single family residence which is substandard and need
of renovation.)
A brief explanation to answer H:
The proposed project is relatively small in size. The zoning of this site has been R3 for a number of years. The proposed l+�
project is only about 80%of the maximum allowed by the existing R3 zoning. The project is consistent with the City's'General
Plan and will not exceed population projections for the City. It will also not induce growth because of its relative small size.
In addition,the property is occupied by a substandard residence which will be replaced by the new development.
III Geologic Problems. Would the proposal result in or
expose people to potential impacts involving:
a) Fault rupture? (General Plan MEA/EIR-ES-4) ❑ ❑ ❑
b) Seismic ground shaking?(GP MEA/EIR-II-1) ❑ ❑

A brief explanation to answer III;
No active or potentially active fault traces cross the site. The only known potential geologic hazard to the site is from seismic
ground shaking which is not unusual for any site in Southern California. This and any other geologic hazard will be mitigated
by the requirements that all residential structures shall be designed and constructed to meet the seismic standards of the
Uniform Building Code. Also,ajaik.Wort will be required before the issuance of a grading permit or building permits for
this project for the construction f re dences.
Finding:Potential impact reduced to a level of insignificance with mitigation measure:This project must meet the
requirements that all residential structures be designed and constructed to meet the seismic standards of the Uniform
Building Code.

A brief explanation to answer IV:
The proposed project is to construct 35 single family residential units. There will be some increase in impermeable surface
area;however,the existing storm drain system in the area will be handle'the additional runoff. The submitted hydrology has
indicated the ainount of run-off from this project: In addition,before grading permits are issued for this project all NPDES
requirements will have to be met which should ensure that many of the impact to water resources will be eliminated. These,
requirements have been set out in the required"Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan." Also,all water for the use of this,
project will be provide by the local water provider,the Riverside Highland Water Company.
V. Air Quality. Would the proposal:
a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to an ❑ ■ ❑ ❑
existing or projected air quality violation? (GP
MEA/E1R II-14, and AQMP)
b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants?',(The Element ❑ ❑ ■ ❑
contains an implementing action to reduce such
exposure)
c) Alter air movement,moisture, or temperature, or cause ❑ ❑ ❑ ■
any change in climate? (Any such implementing
actions are designed to have a positive effect on the
region's air quality)
d) Create objectionable odors? (No specific odor causing ❑ ❑ ❑ ■
proposals are included in the Element)
A brief explanation to answer V:
The proposed project is relatively small size. With only 35 units it does not have the capacity to significantly impact the air
quality of the region. There will be a very small increase in air pollution primarily from the vehicles of the new residents;
however,this will not be significant.
Finding:Potential impact reduced to a level of insignificance with mitigation measure. For the grading of the site where
dust will be generated,appropriate dust control measures will be integrated into grading plans and activities as required
by the City as part of the conditions of the grading permit.

Brief explanation to answer VI:
The proposed project is to has been reviewed by the City's Traffic Engineer. He concluded that because of its
relatively small size that a traffic study would not be required even though there will be some slight increase n traffic
which will not be significant. In addition,he stated:"The project will have no significant traffic impacts on the
adjacent streets and intersections." The export of 25,000 cubic yards of earth will be mitigated by r quiring that the
proposed haul route be reviewed and approved by the Community Development Director to minimize
effects on the neighborhood. a the potential

a) Increase in existing noise levels?
(City Noise Element) ❑ ❑ ■ ❑ �,
b) Exposure of people to severe noise _
levels? (City Noise Element) ❑ ■ ❑ ❑
Brief explanation to answer X.
There will be some increase in ambient noise level simply from having 35 new homes on the site
which is presently vacant except for one older residence; however,this increase will not be
significant. In addition,the site is located just west of Mt. Vernon Avenue which has been identified
in the City's Noise Element as an existing and future noise generator. However, this will be mitigate
by the conditioning that this project conform to the requirement of the Building Code for interior
noise insulation for any structures impacted by noise from Mt. Vernon.
Finding:Potential impact reduced'to a level of insignificance with mitigation measures. This development will be
conditioned to comply with all requirements of the Building Code for interior noise insulation if required. The noise i
associated with the export of 25,000 cubic yards of earth will be minimized by the City's Noise Ordinance which restrict !
such activities between 7:00 a.m.and 10:00 p.m `-
XI. Public Services. Would the proposal have an
effect upon, or result in a need for new or altered
government services in any of the following areas:

c) Schools? ( ) ❑ ❑ ■ ❑
d) Maintenance of public facilities, ❑ ❑ ■ ❑
including roads? ( ) � ❑ ❑ ■ ❑
e) Other governmental services? ( )
Brief explanation of answer XI.
This proposed project for 35 single family residential units is relatively small in size. As for any residential project there
will be some effect on public services but because of the relatively small size of the project all of these effects will be less
than significant. In addition,there will be an increase in the City's property tax base because of the development of
existing vacant land and the developer will also'have to pay the school impact fee for this project before building permits
are issued.

SUBJECT: SP-05-02, SA-05-19, SA-05-24, Vesting Map TTM-05-03,
(County No. 17766)and E-05-21 to construct a 35 unit single
family condominium project on 3.7 acres
APPLICANT: The Greystone Group,Inc. and Sequoia Equities
LOCATION: 11830 Mt. Vernon Avenue(An approximately 3.7 acre parcel
located on the westerly side of Mt. Vernon Avenue about 750 feet
southerly of the intersection of Mt. Vernon Avenue and Brentwood
Street.)
RECOMMENDATION: Open the public hearing,receive the staff report and testimony,
close the hearing and approve the Resolution calling for the
approval of SA-05-19, SA-05-25 and E-04-21 and recommend to
the City Council the approval of the Resolution calling for the
approval of Vesting Map TTM-05-03 and the adoption of the
Ordinance for SP-05-02
REQUEST:
The applicant is requesting approval to construct 35 single family residential units with attached
garage parking for residents and open parking for guests. "Lot"sizes will range from 2,676 square
feet to 4,341 square feet. The average"lot"size is 2,941 square feet. The site will be accessed by
22795 Barton Road 0 Grand Terrace, California 923- EXHIBIT 2 -
a single,non-gated vehicular access to Mt.Vernon at its southeast comer. The internal street system
will be provided by a 26 foot wide loop private street. There will also be a 26 foot wide Emergency
Vehicle Access to provide secondary access to the interior of the site.
The site will also include passive landscape statement adjacent to the main entry as well as an active
open space in the center of the development. With a proposed density of 9.5 units per acre, the
applicant believes this proposed new residential development will act as a "transitional element"
between existing single-family community on the east side of Mt.Vernon Avenue and the Highland
Apartments on the west side of Mt.Vernon. The applicant further points out that this proposal will
replace an aging and poorly maintained residence in the neighborhood with"an attractive,vibrant '
neighborhood that will complement the otherwise positive fabric ofthe community..."(The proposed
request and applicants quotes were taken from page II-1 of SP-05-02,.Exhibit A.)
SITE AND SURROUND AREA:
The subject site is an approximately 3.7 acre parcel located on the west side.of Mt.Vernon Avenue
about 750 southerly of the intersection of Mt. Vernon Avenue and Brentwood Street. The site is
presently occupied by single family residence, a swimming pool and at least four wood and/or
corrugated metal accessory structures. All of these buildings are located on the northerly side of the
site. The existing structures and other facilities on the site will be demolished and the site will be
cleared for the proposed project.
The site still contains numerous mature trees as part of the existing residential development. The r-
topography of the site slopes from east to west. The existing site slopes about 4.5%in a westerly
direction with Mt.Vernon Avenue as the high point of the subject site. The site falls nearly 25 feet
from east to west and steps down creating three more or less level pad areas at its westerly end.
There are substantial slopes throughout the perimeter of the property with the steepest being along
the southerly edge. It should be pointed out that the Highlands Apartments to the north, west and
south of the site mainly lie at a lower elevation than.the subject site.
As noted above, the surrounding area is developed with the'Highlands Apartment complex to the
north,west and south. The area to the east on the easterly side of Mt.Vernon Avenue is developed
with single family residential uses. The Highlands Apartment complex consists of two-story
structures while most of the homes on the east side of Mt. Vernon are one-story in height. The
average density of the Highlands is about 17 dwelling units per acre based on past calculations by
Staff.
Mt. Vernon Avenue is a 88 foot-wide Secondary Highway as shown on the City's Circulation
Element. It is developed with curbs,gutters and meandering sidewalks on its westerly side at this
location. No request have been made by the City's Public Works department for right-of-way or
street improvements.
The City's Master Plan of Storm Drains shows no storm drains along this section of Mt. Vernon
excepting for a short 24" segment bringing water across Mt.Vernon from the east side to the west
side located at the south end of the site.
For an aerial view of the site and surrounding area,please see Attachment 1.
GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING:
The site is located in the R3(Medium Density Residential)Zone. This site has been zoned for multi-
family use for at least 20 years. The site is also located in the"MDR"(Medium Density Residential)
Category of the City's General Plan. The proposed project is consistent with the Ci General Plan
and falls within.the density limitations of the R3 Zone.
The maximum density allowed in the R3 Zone is 12 units per acre. At 35 units,the overall density
of this project is approximately 9.5 units/acre which is consistent with the R3 Zone.
The properties to the north,west and south of the subject site are located also in the R3
DensityResidential)Zone.Properties to the east are located in the R1-7.2(Single FamilyRes(Medium
- Minimum required area 7,200 sq. .ft.)Zone. Both of these zones are consistent with the City's
General Plan land use categories.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Specific Plan Document:
A Specific Plan document was submitted for this project and has been labeled Exhibit A. Since the
R3 (Medium Density Residential)would not accommodate this proposed project,it was necessary
to file a Specific Plan. In addition the City's General Plan contains a policy that requires a Specific
\� Plan for those J ro'ect exceedin
P g 20 or more units.
A Specific Plan under Sections 65450 and 65457 of the Government Code must contain a text and
a diagram or diagrams that specify all of the following in detail:
• Distribution,location,and extent of the uses of land,including open space,within the
area covered by the plan.
• Proposed distribution,location,extent and intensity of major components ofpublic
and private transportation,sewage,water,drainage,solid waste disposal,energy,and
other essential facilities proposed to be located within the area covered by the plan
and needed to support the land uses described in the plan.
• Standards and criteria by which development will proceed and, where applicable,
standards for conversation, development, and utilization of natural resources.
• A program�of implementation measures including regulations, programs, public
works projects, and financing measures necessary to carry out the matters listed
above.
Exhibit A contains a description of the project setting,subject site characteristics,surrounding uses
and a statement as to the project's relationship to the City's General Plan. It also includes a detailed
discussion of the proposed project including types of uses, architectural styles, development
( standards to be employed, grading/drainage discussion and proposed phasing. The Specific Plan
concludes with a discussion on the infrastructure which will service the new development including
utilities,sewer service and traffic control. It should be pointed out that the Specific Plan document
includes reduced copies of all of the plans and exhibits for this project.
As such, the submitted Specific Plan No. 05-02 does meet these requirements of the Govemment
Code. As such,the Specific Plan will serve as the"zoning"for this project. An Ordinance to adopt
the Specific Plan has been prepared for the Commission's consideration for a recommendation to
the City Council. The Ordinance is included at the end of this Staff Report as Attachment 25.
Site Plan:
The site plan, marked Exhibit 1, shows the proposed development consisting of 35 single family
detached units distributed throughout the development. All of the units will be two stories in height.
Interior access will be provided by a 26 foot wide interior drive with a"loop"configuration and with
the main entrance and exit to Mt. Vernon located in the southeast comer of the site. A second
"emergency only"entrance from Mt. Vernon to the site will be provided in the northeast comer to
satisfy the Fire Department.
The two-story single family residential units will be setback 19 feet from the Mt.Vernon right-of-
way and approximately 6 to 12 feet from the interior southerly,westerly and northerly property lines.
The typical rear setback for the homes along the northerly property line will be 9 feet;for the homes
on the southerly property line the rear setback will be typically 10.6 feet. The homes in the interior
will have larger rear setbacks of up to 14.8 feet. In addition,the single family residential units will
be set back 10 to 13 feet from the interior drive loop system for most of the units. The distance
between residential buildings will be 8 feet.
It should be pointed out that with some of the units setting 10 feet back of the interior drive, the
individual driveways to these units will only measure 15 feet or so in length. A full sized car parked
in one of these driveways could block the sidewalk along the interior drive. A 5-foot wide sidewalk
is proposed around the outside edge of the interior drive loop. Staff is suggesting that if this project
is approved,it be conditioned that no individual driveway be less than 18 feet in length as measured
between the garage door and the outer edge of the sidewalk.
The proposed parking includes two spaces in each garage for a total of 70 covered spaces. Also,
there are 18 open spaces for guest or visitor parking.This open guest parking is located in two areas;
one near the open space area in the center of the development and the other near the southeast main
entrance. In addition, potential parking on the individual driveways to each unit could provide
another 70 off-street spaces. All of this parking is located in the interior of the development and will
not be readily visible from Mt. Vemon.
Two common open space areas are shown on the site plan, Exhibit 1. The larger of the two is
located in the center of the development,towards its westerly side. This open space will be 5,268
square feet in size. No development features are shown for this open space area excepting for a what
appears to be walkway crossing through the middle of the open area. Also, one of the open guest
parking areas lies adjacent to this open space area; and an underground detention is shown at this
location. The other open space area measures some 1,892 square feet in size and lies just south and
next to the southeast main entrance. No improvements are shown for this latter open space area.
Additional outside recreational amenities will be provided in the form an exterior patio area for each
residential unit. This patio area typically measures about 12'x 15'.
A five to six foot block wall presently is constructed along the northerly, westerly and southerly
boundaries of the subject site. This development proposes to replace this fencing with a retaining
wall ' the proposed height shown on the Conceptual Grading Plan,Exhibit 13. On top of this
wall fo t high screening wall is proposed along these same property boundaries. Along the Mt.
y Vernon outage the fencing will include"enhanced pilasters.." The location of this fencing has not
been indicated on the site plan or the conceptual grading plan. Interior residential fencing between
units will be 5 ft. - 10 in. and will be painted wood with gates. For a detailed discussion of the
fencing for this development,please see page I1-5 of the Specific Plan.
A 8 %z"x 11"reduction of the site plan has been included in this staff report as Attachment 2.
Floor Plans:
The project consists of two floor plans with three different,alternate elevations for each of these two
floor plans. Both floor plans will have a two-car garage and both will be two stories in height.
According to the Specific Plan the design and layout of these units will utilize a concept called the
"Pocket lot." The floor plans will focus on private outdoor space. This space is created by creating
a notch in the rear of the floor plan to be occupied by the private patio pointed out above. In
/y addition,the Specific Plan points out that"living and eating spaces orient towards this`pocket'and
create a living arrangement that enhances the connection between indoor space and private outdoor
space."
The two proposed floor plans have been labeled"Plan 1"(Exhibit 2)and"Plan 2"(Exhibit 6). Plan
1 includes a kitchen, living, dining room, %z bath and garage on the first floor, and the master
bedroom,two bathrooms and two additional bedroom on the second floor. The total living area of
Plan 1 is 1,801 square feet. Plan 2 has generally the same layout as Plan 1 but is slightly bigger with
1,828 square feet. In addition,there is an option for a fourth bedroom with a total size of the unit
at 1,963 square feet.
A 8 %s" x 11" reduction of the floor plan of"Plan 1" has been attached to the staff report as
Attachment 3; and, of"Plan 2"as Attachment 4.
Elevations:
The architectural style of this project incorporates, according to the Specific Plan, elements from
early 20' Century California Spanish bungalows. Low pitched roofs and barrel shaped roof tile
accent the Spanish character of the architecture. Stucco walls provide a modern interpretation ofthe
use of plaster walls typical of the early Spanish bungalow style. Further, the window shapes and
sizes provide a "street friendly presence to the home." The use of decorative wrought iron and
shutters will accent the home and complement the Spanish style. The proposed colors will be
subdued while highlighting the California Spanish bungalow style.
The proposed alternate elevations for Plan 1 and Plan 2 are shown on Exhibits 3,4 and 5 for Plan
1 and Exhibits 7, 8, and 9 for Plan 2. 8 V?x 11 reductions of Plan 1 alternates are included here as
Attachments 5, 6, and 7 and Plan 2 alternates as Attachments 8, 9, and 10.
Preliminary Landscaping:
The preliminary landscaping plan is shown on Exhibit 10. The preliminary landscape plan shows
a generalized plant pallette including trees,shrubs,vines and groundcovers and generalized location
of various plantings. A more detailed discussion of the proposed"plant palette"is given on page
H-4 of the Specific Plan. In addition, the "Plant Legend" on Exhibit 10 shows that all of the
proposed trees will be 24" and 36"box in size.
As shown on the preliminary landscaping plan, the applicant will include in the landscaping the
adjacent parkways along Mt.Vernon. The Municipal Code requires the planting of street trees every
40 feet along both the street frontage,if necessary as there are already street trees along this section
of Mt.Vernon. The applicant will be required to plant and maintain the adjacent parkway.
A detailed landscaping and irrigation plan will be required to be submitted and to be approved prior
to the issuance of building permits. In addition,all of the landscaping will have to be installed prior
to the final occupancy of the development.
A 8 %i'x 11"reduction of the preliminary landscaping plan is shown as Attachment 11.
Tentative Tract Mao:
This is a proposed condominium development; therefore,the necessity for the tentative map. The
tentative map is shown on Exhibit 11. The County number issued by the County Recorder's Office
is"Tract No. 17766." As a condominium project,only one lot is shown. Individual buyers will be
purchasing"air rights"to their individual unit and not an individual lot. The conditions of approval
include the requirement that there be a homeowners' association which will have the responsibility
of managing and maintaining this development. The"lot lines"shown on the site plan are"akin"
to the"lot lines"in a mobilehome development and will not be recorded"lot lines"for subdivision
purposes.
The proposed tentative map shows such details as existing development on the site,existing utilities,
adjacent streets,existing easements,the location of existing and proposed storm drains,the proposed
BMP storm filter and the proposed 8" sewer line. Also, the street sections for Mt. Vernon and the
private interior loop drive are also shown on the tentative tract map. The"vesting"portion means
that the rules and regulations of the City at the time the filing of the map is deemed"complete"will
apply, by law, to this subdivision proposal. Lastly, this tentative map was reviewed by the City
Engineer and found to be acceptable.
A 8 %" x I V reduction of the tentative map is attached hereto as Attachment 12.
i
Conceptual Grading;
The conceptual grading plan is shown on Exhibit 12. The os ro p p ed site will be graded to drain from
east to west at an average grade of 5.0%. East to west fall will be approximately 20 feet wi e
th theet and the lowest pad on the west end of
easterly edge of the site having a high point of 1,087.50 f
the site being 1,065.40 feet.Retaining walls will be used on nearly all ofthe south,west and northern
boundaries of the site. No retaining walls will needed along the Mt. Vemon frontage. The
maximum retaining wall height will be 10.5 feet along the southeasterly side of the project. Most
of the retaining wall heights,however,will range from 3 feet to 6.5 feet. The grading of the site will
generate approximately 25,000 cubic yards of export. To mitigate the export operation, Staff
suggests that conditions be imposed to limit the hours of grading of the site and that the proposed
haul route for the exporting trucks be approved by the Community Development Director prior to
the issuance of any grading permits.
Storm water will be collected via an underground storm drain system and outlet through the retaining
wall near the southwest comer of the site. This storm drain system will also accept off-site water
currently being accepted onto the subject property from Mt. Vernon Avenue. The storm water will
exit the site via an outlet through the retaining wall onto the neighboring apartment site to.the west.
The site will also generate an additional flow due to the addition of non-pervious materials. This
additional flow will be detained on site in an underground detention system underneath the open
space,pocket park in the center of the development.
The proposed structural BMP to treat the site water will be a storm filter or equivalent that will be
(- employed to comply with the City's Stone water Ordinance as part of the NPDES requirements.
This BUT will be designed to treat the"first flush"in a storm event as well as nuisance water from
irrigation.
A 8 %"x 11" reduction of the preliminary grading plan is shown on Attachment 13 in the staff
report.
Phasing:
This project is proposed to be "phased"consisting of three phases. A detailed discussion of the
proposed phasing is given on page II-5 of the Specific Plan. A condition requiring the submittal of
a phasing plan/schedule to be approved by the City has been included in the Resolution of Approval,
Attachment 23 for the Site and Architectural Review applications.
Color and Material Board,
A"Color and Materials"board for this project will be made available at the public hearing for the
Planning Commission's information and review. The board contains the color scheme that will be
used throughout the project along with of the stucco and roof tile. The applicant has described these
colors as "subdued"but highlighting the architectural style of the residential units.

Declaration and the Initial Study/Environmental Checklist with the mandatory finding ofno impact
for this project are attached hereto as Exhibit B.
FINDINGS:
Section 18.63.060 of the Zoning Code requires that specific findings be made by the Planning
Commission in approving a site and architectural review application. These findings have been
incorporated into the Resolution of Approval (Attachment 23) for the requested two Site and
Architectural Review applications.
In addition, the City's Subdivision Ordinance requires that specific findings be made prior to the
C� approval of the tentative map. These findings are:
a) The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and
improvements is consistent with the General Plan; and
b) The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of development;and
c) The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially or avoidable injure fish or wildlife
or their habitat; and
d) The design of the subdivision or type of improvements are not likely to cause serious
public health problems; and
e) The proposed subdivision, its design, density and type of development and
improvements conform to the regulations of the City's Development Code and the
regulations of any public agency having jurisdiction by law.
Specific findings based on these requirements have been incorporated into the Resolution of
Approval (Attachment 24) for the tentative map which will be heard and acted on by the City
Council.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
Upon the approval g
oval b the Planning Commission, the proposed project will be subject to the
recommended conditions as included in the Resolution of Approval(Attachment 23)for the two site
and architectural review applications. Upon approval by the City Council, the proposed tentative
map for the condominiums will be subj ect to the recommended conditions included in the Resolution
of Approval(Attachment 24)for the tentative map. The Site and Architectural Review requests will
not be effective unless and until the proposed tentative map is approved by the City and Council and
is recorded.
ANALYSIS:
This site has been zoned for R3 uses for at,least 20 years. The proposed project is consistent with
both the City's General Plan and the Zoning Code. The project will be nicely designed in the
"California Spanish bungalow"style to fit in with the surrounding residential neighborhood which
includes the Highlands Apartments. The development will,provide a transition use between the
apartment development west of Mt. Vemon and the single family residential use on the east side.
Finally, the applicant is proposing a condominium development with individual home ownership
which should alleviate some of the past objections from the community about rental development
in the City.
This is a well thought out and well designed project which will be an asset to the City. It will
develop a vacant site which in currently;development with an aging residential structure and i rf
accessory structures.
RECOMMENDATION:
The staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the proposed 35 single family
development under SA-05-19, SA-05-24 and E-05-21 as called for by the attached Resolution of

Dear Mr. Lampe: -
The Colton Joint Unified School District Is In receipt of your transmittal for the above.
named project. The District is growing at a rate faster than permanent school facilities
can be financed and built. All of our school facilities are currently at or over capacity.
The District's current K-12 enrollment is 24,783 and Is expected to continue to Increase.
In an effort to meet classroom needs, the.Board of Education has Implemented year-
round schedules, and until adequate funding for facilities can be assured, the District
will continue to consider all alternatives for housing students.
In addition to General Obligation Bonds, Colton Joint Unified School District has
pursued other funding strategies including the State School Facilities Program, and
mitigation agreements with developers, as well as Community Facilities Districts.
The proposed project is currently within the boundaries of the following schools:

project on a 3.7 acre parcel.
The subject site is located on the westerly side of Mt. Vernon. The property is located
approximately 750 feet southerly of the intersection of Brentwood Street and Mt. Vernon
Avenue. The site is presently occupied by a single family home that was built in 1922.
Also on the site is a swimming pool and various accessory buildings that were used for
agricultural purposes in the past. The house and the out buildings will be removed if this
project is approved.
The site contains numerous mature trees and slopes approximately 4' 1/2% to the west.
The high point of the site is located along Mt. Vernon with a drop of about 25 feet to the
westerly end of the property. In addition, there are substantial slopes on the perimeter
towards the Highland Apartments which are located to the north of the subject site. The
site is enclosed on the westerly, northerly and southerly sides by the Highlands
Apartments. The average density of the project is 17 units to the acre.
The east side of Mt. Vernon is single family detached housing in the R1 Zone. Mt. Vernon
Avenue is an 88 foot wide secondary highway and as shown on the City's Circulation
Element. It is presently developed with curbs, gutters and meandering sidewalk on the
westerly side in front of the subject site.
The subject site is located in the R3 or the Medium Density Residential Zone, and the
"MDR" (Medium Density Residential) category of the City's General Plan. The maximum
density allowed in the R3 Zone is 12 units per acre, with a bonus which would allow up to
15 units to the acre.
The proponents could have come before the Commission this evening for an apartment
project, with 12 or more units per acre under the existing R3 Zone. However, a
condominium type of project has been proposed with 9112 units to the acre.
The site plans illustrates the proposed project consisting of 35 detached single family
residential units located throughout the development all the way to the westerly end of the
project. It will be serviced by a 26 wide drive in a loop configuration with one entrance off of
ML Vernon Avenue. The fire department has required that there will.be a separate means
of access to the property located here for emergency purposes only.
3
The units will be set back about 19 feet from the Mt. Vernon right of way to the residential
structures. Also, from the westerly and northerly property lines, the setback will be
averaging about nine feet.
The units will be setback ten to thirteen feet from the interior loop drive which provides
interior access to the property. The units will be sitting approximately ten to thirteen feet
back from the edge of the drive. The distance between units will be eight feet. A zero lot
line type of configuration will be provided but the spaces are not lots in the sense of the
Subdivision Map Act. Each buyer will be given the air rights to the actual unit itself and also
to the small yard surrounding each unit. The lot sizes will range from about 2,600 to 2,700
square feet or a little over 4,300 square feet in size. The average space size will be a little
less than 3,000 square feet per unit.
Some of the units that will be fronting off of the interior drive setback about ten feet from the
drive, and some of the driveways providing access to each garage measure about fifteen
feet in length. Staff feels that this could pose a problem should one have a full sized car,
the vehicle could probably be backed out or at least block the proposed five foot wide
sidewalk which will be located on the outside of the interior loop. To avoid this problem, the
Staff is suggesting that the project be modified to some extent that the driveways have at
least an eighteen foot minimum depth as measured from the garage to the edge of the loop
or the outer edge of the sidewalk.
The total onsite parking will consist of a two car garage per unit with 70 parking spaces
located within the complex besides the garages. Also shown are two open guest parking
areas for guests or visitors with a total of 18 open parking spaces. This onsite parking
meets more than the minimum requirements for this project. In addition to that, there will b,
additional parking for visitors in front of each garage.
There are two common open areas. The larger of the two will be 5,600 square feet and will
be located in the westerly center of the project. There is no specific active recreational
amenities shown for this area other than a proposed walkway across it. This will also be
the location of an underground detention basin which is part of the drainage system of the
project. The Staff has suggested that a condition be added that the developers supply
recreational plans to provide more active recreational amenities for the site. The secondary
location is at the southeast corner of the subject site which will be developed for additional
landscaping for the project.
At the present time, there is a five to six foot block along the southerly, westerly, and
northerly perimeters of the property separating the site from the Highlands Apartments
project. This wall will be removed and replaced by a system of retaining walls and a
screening wall which will be six feet in height. Interior fencing between the units will consist
of wood fencing approximately five to six feet in height with gates between each unit.
Along the Mt. Vernon frontage, the specific plan discusses fencing which will be enhanced
with pilasters along Mt. Vernon Avenue. The Staff is asking for a fencing plan to be
submitted as part of the approval package for this project.
Two floor plans have been proposed for the project. Plan One consists of a first floor
kitchen, living room, dining room and powder room. The second floor will have a master
bedroom and two additional baths and two additional bedrooms. Plan Two consists of a
similar floor plan as Plan One, but slightly bigger in terms of square footage for a total of
4
1,828 square feet. There is also an option to add a fourth bedroom with a total square
footage of 1,963 square feet.
The design concept of the project is that each floor plan will have three elevations to vary
the architectural style within the project. The specific plan talks about a theme of early 20th
century California Spanish bungalow style with low pitched roofs and barrel shaped roof
tiles to accent the character of the buildings. There will also be wrought iron shutters to
compliment the Spanish style. The Applicant did provide colored elevations for the three
alternatives schemes for each plan and are displayed for the Commission to review.
Also submitted with the packet was a preliminary landscaping plan. All of the proposed
trees will be 24 to 36 inch box trees.
Because this is a condominium project under the State Map Act, the Tentative Tract Map
has to be filed under the County of San Bernardino, Number 17766.
As part of the Conditions of Approval is that a homeowners association shall be created
which will have the responsibility of managing and maintaining this development.
A conceptual grading plan was also submitted. The average grade from the easterly end of
the property and the westerly part of the property will be 5%. Maximum retaining wall
height will be about 10 feet along the southerly boundary of the subject site.
In addition, there will be about 25,000 cubic yards of earth that will be exported from the
site. The Staff is recommending mitigation of the amount of earth that will be exported from
what is essentially a residential site and are suggested that an approved export plan be
submitted with the City prior to the issuance of the grading permit to provide regulation and
the hours of the grading.
The storm water drainage system for the project has been reviewed in detail by the City
Engineer, and the City Engineer feels that the submitted plans prepared by the applicant's
engineer are feasible.
The final part of the specific plan discusses that the project will be developed in phases.
Staff has added a condition that phasing for the project be subject to some regulation so
that there will be an assurance that the project will be completed in a reasonable amount of
time.
As part of the CEQA review, it is Staffs opinion that the project does qualify for a Mitigated
Negative Declaration, and that with the recommended conditions of approval, the project
will not have an adverse affect on the environment.
In making a recommendation, Staff has considered the following items: (1) This is a site
that has been zoned for moderate density development for 20 years. (2) The project is
consistent with the zoning under the City's General Plan. (3) The development will be an
attractive asset to the City; and (4) the project will provide a transitional use between the
apartments west of Mt. Vernon and the single family homes on the east side.
Based on the analysis, Staff is recommending to the City Council the approval of the
submitted Specific Plan and the approval of the vesting tentative tract map together with
the mitigated Negative Declaration, and that the Commission also approve the submitted
site and architectural review applications.
5
Associate Planner Lampe concluded that the Conditions of Approval :and the Site and
Architectural Review, one of the Conditions, Number 17 states that the setbacks along the
northerly, westerly and southerly property lines should be in agreement with what was
shown on the site plan with the exception of allowing patio covers to be built on the rear
yard setbacks. An exception needs to be added to the effect that the rear setback can be
modified to accommodate the 18 foot driveway length. To increase the driveway length,
the rear yards would have to be reduced to accommodate the change.
Also, Engineering sent a letter to Staff with regard to Condition 25 of the Tract Map
which required that the Applicant submit the proposed storm filter for the project to the
Water Quality Control Board for approval. The Applicant's engineer suggested a revised
language for Condition Number 25. The City Engineer was contacted and he did not ha,'-�,
-a problem with the revised language noting the fact that there is language in that revision
that states that the storm filter would remain subject to approval of the City Engineer.
Associate Planner Lampe concluded his Staff Report.
Vice Chair Addington asked with regard to the revised Condition Number 25, does the City
issue precise grading permits.
Public Works Director Shields replied that the City does require precise grading permits.
Vice Chair Addington wanted more information about the section along the westerly
property line.
Associate Planner Lampe replied' that the Applicant's Engineer has the information. wit'_}
regard to that section of the project and will be presenting it before the.Commission.
Chair Wilson opened up the Public Hearing.

Mr. Olivier greeted the Commission and reported that the Conditions of Approval were
reviewed and they are in agreement with the Conditions. With regard to the west wall at
the property line, a diagram has been issued to the Commission with regard to the area
showing the details of the storm filter drains and the storm drain system.
Vice Chair Addington asked Mr. Olivier does the 8 foot by 4 inch high outlet curb have the
capacity for the 17 to 18 CFS as proposed.
Mr. Olivier,replied that the final engineering is working with the City Staff to confirm those
calculations with regard to the outlet curb.
6
Vice Chair Addington asked if there is an emergency overland escape route should an
emergency occur.
Mr. Olivier replied that there is.
Chair Wilson wanted information with regard to the filtering agents that will be proposed.
Mr. Olivier replied that per the Water Quality Guidelines that a charcoal filter system will be
utilized.
Chair Wilson asked what type of curb will be proposed for the project.
1 Mr. Olivier replied that it will be a wedge curb.
Chair Wilson wanted more information with regard to the proposed sidewalks around the
entire project.
David McMahon-Applicant
Greystone Development
341 Bayside Drive #7, Newport Beach
Mr. McMahon felt that it would be a nice addition to have sidewalks throughout the entire
project so that children may be able to ride their bicycles on the sidewalks rather than on
the streets.
Vice Chair Addington asked with the area along Unit 1, where the east wall facing Mt.
Vernon Avenue, is this a proposed flat wall or a zero lot line wall.
Mr. McMahon replied that the architect could answer the question.
Albert Yolo Architect
2031 Orchard Drive, Newport Beach
Mr. Yolo replied that the side of the Unit is the active side where the larger windows and the
master bedroom would front that side.
Chair Wilson asked with regard to the retention basin, what type of drainage will be used.
John Olivier
Fescoe Engineering
16795 Von Karman, Irvine
Currently, a park element is planned in the area with 60 inch pipes underneath to take the
peak flow off of the main storm drain to divert it.
Chair Wilson asked if a Maxwell System was considered.
Mr. Olivier replied that it was not considered but can be checked with the soils engineer.
Chair Wilson asked if any discussion has been made with the fire department.
7
Mr. Olivier met with the fire department with regard to the requirement of the secondary
access.
Public Works Director Shields asked with regard to the sheet that was passed out by the
Applicant's Engineer. In the event a 100 year storm presents itself and there would be
water going over the block wall, was there any concern of the water going directly into the
garages of the Highland Apartments. Is there any thought about putting in a head wall and
directing the flows towards the planter area and exits beyond the residences.
Mr. Olivier feels that it can be accommodated to increase the angle of the parkway culvert
to get the water flowing in the right direction. At this point, there is no objection to including
this in the Conditions.
Chair Wilson closed the Public Hearing and brought the item back to the Commission.
Commissioner Bidney asked if there are any amenities proposed for the project.
Planning Director Koontz replied that a Condition has been added to include some type of
amenity package.
Vice Chair Addington asked if on street parking be allowed or permitted within the project.
Planning Director Koontz replied that the fire department will not allow on street parking for
a street that is at 26 feet.

the project. The first Condition was to add Item 3 to add tt
following Condition to SA-05-19 and SA-05-24 as presented by
Associate Planner Lampe. The second Condition is to add the
revised wording for Condition 25 as presented by the Applicant.
The third Condition is to require architectural features along Unit
Number 1 at the easterly portion of the property as seen from
the street.
Commissioner Bidney seconded the motion.

Staff Report
MEETING DATE: March 9, 2006
SUBJECT: CIRCULATION PRIORITIZATION STUDY FINDINGS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
FUNDING AUTHORIZATION NOT REQUIRED:
BACKGROUND:
In 2004, staff negotiated with The Shopoff Group traffic mitigation fees for the Spring Mountain Ranch
and Spring Brook Estates projects amounting to a total of$649,700. Both of these projects are located in
Highgrove--outside the city limits and in Riverside County.
Spring Mountain Ranch
1461 units at$200 per unit = $292,200
Spring Brook Estates
650 units at$550 per unit = $375,500
Total = $649,700
In the 2005 City Wide Prioritization Study, council rated a City-Wide Traffic Mitigation plan a 9.5 out of
10, ranking the study number four(4) out of thirty-six(36)priorities.
Staff included$25,000 for the study from the expected traffic mitigation funding in the 2005-06 budget.
The study was conducted by the city's contracted traffic engineer, Craig Neusteader.
Objective of the Study:
The purpose of the study was to identify traffic mitigation strategies that should be considered by the City
of Grand Terrace over the next five years.
Currently, major developments are underway or being planned which will significantly affect traffic flow
patterns in the City of Grand Terrace. Most of these projects are being developed in areas adjacent to the
city such as Colton or the Highgrove area of unincorporated Riverside County. Loma Linda and
Redlands also have several projects that could bring traffic through Grand Terrace as an alternate route to
the I-215 and I-10. In addition, the city is also experiencing new growth within its boundaries.
•
Presentation of Information:
Attached is the Grand Terrace Circulation Prioritization Findings and Recommendations. A detailed
report substantiating these recommendations will be given at the March 9`h, 2006 council meeting by the
city traffic engineer including:
• Traffic flow maps
• Five-year traffic forecast conditions
• Back up data on all findings and recommendations
Request from a City Council Member
On February 17, 2006, the city manager received the attached memo from Council Member Hilkey
requesting the formation of an ad hoc committee to review the report and recommend traffic mitigation
priorities back to the city council for final approval.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is asking for direction from Council on the Circulation Prioritization Study Findings and
Recommendations including:
-Consideration of Council Member Hilkey's request(see attached)to form an ad hoc traffic committee to
study the consultant's report and make recommendations back to the council.
Grand Terrace Circulation Prioritization Study
Findings and Recommendations
Speed Humps
The assistant city manager submitted a list of eight locations to be considered for
the installation of speed humps. These were individually evaluated and
prioritized. The following locations meet the screening criteria for speed humps,
and are prioritized accordingly:
1. Grand Terrace Road fronting Terrace View Elbmentary School
2. Dos Rios between Palm Avenue and DeBerry Street
3. McClarren between Vivienda and Canal
4. Carhart between Canal and Vivienda
The remaining four locations did not meet the screening criteria for speed humps.
Pursuant to city policy, the residents adjacent to these streets should be
surveyed to determine if a supermajority supports installation of speed humps. If
approved by the majority of residents and if sufficient funding is available, plans
should be completed for installation of speed humps at each location.
Traffic Signals and Intersection Improvements
Currently, traffic signals are funded for construction at the following locations:
Barton at Grand Terrace Road/Honey Hollow Drive
La Cadena at Barton (shared with the city of Colton and San Bernardino
County)
Main Street at Iowa (shared with the city of Colton and Riverside County)
The intersection of Main Street at Iowa will be heavily impacted by future traffic
growth. In order to provide a more acceptable level of service, the intersection
should be designed to provide a westbound free right turn lane and duel
southbound left turn lanes.
By 2010, the following intersections should be signalized:
Mount Vernon at Canal/Grand Terrace Road
Mount Vernon at Van Buren
Mount Vernon at Main Street
In addition, the intersection of Barton Road at Palm may be considered as a
candidate location for signalization. Even though signal warrants for this
intersection are not met by the year 2010, signalization may be considered in
• order to provide sufficient gaps for left turn movements from Palm.
Arterial Street Improvements
Over the previous nine-year period, on average arterial traffic volumes in the city
of Grand Terrace have grown by approximately 3% per year. However, at one
location on Barton Road, east of the 1 215 interchange, traffic has grown at a rate
of over 8% per year.
Future development patterns indicate that the streets of Barton Road and Mount •
Vernon Ave. will be heavily impacted by traffic growth to the year 2010. To
encourage a more balanced flow of traffic through the city of Grand Terrace and
possibly divert traffic from Barton Road and Mount Vernon, it is recommended
that the streets of Main Street and Michigan be completed to their ultimate
general plan cross sections. Specifically, the following improvements should be
completed:
Michigan - widen from Barton to DeBerry
Main Street- complete second eastbound through lane from Iowa to
Mount Vernon
The Main Street improvement is in unincorporated Riverside County. The city
should work with Riverside County to expedite completion of this improvement.
Main Street is being considered as a prospective route that would improve
access between Moreno Valley and cities in San Bernardino County including
Rialto, Colton, and Grand Terrace. If Main Street is selected for inclusion in this
route, widening of Main Street would be eligible for funding as part of Riverside
County's Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Program. As a TUMF
project, funding would also be available to construct a railroad grade separation
project on Main Street.
Barton Road Improvements
The top:priority improvement project for Barton Road is the reconstruction of the
railroad over crossing east of La Cadena. This over crossing must be
reconstructed in order to provide structural seismic safety. This is a joint project
with the city of Colton that is eligible for federal funding up to 88% of the cost of
the project. Design plans for the project are nearly complete. The city should
move forward to get Caltrans approval to begin construction.
For the segment of Barton Road from the 1 215 interchange to Mount Vernon, the
city should move forward with the construction of a raised median as called for by
the circulation element of the city's general plan. This improvement will enhance
the safety and capacity of Barton Road. To a large extent this improvement can
be accomplished as a condition of'approval placed on new development that is
occurring adjacent to this street segment.
• As part of the Iron Horse Hills residential project that is proposed in Colton to the
northeast of the city of Grand Terrace, Barton Road will be widened to four lanes.
The city of Grand Terrace should consider widening of Barton Road from its
northeast city limit to Honey Hollow Drive as a gap closure project. However, this
should be considered as a lower priority project relative to the arterial
improvements listed above.
Interchange Improvements
The Barton Road interchange at 1 215 in the city of Grand Terrace will be heavily
impacted by future traffic growth. In addition, the La Cadena/Iowa interchange at
1 215 in.the city of Colton will also be impacted by traffic growth. Although this
interchange is not in the city of Grand Terrace, it is an important point of access
to developing areas in the city, and a prospective alternative route for traffic that
would otherwise utilize the Barton interchange.
Ultimately, both of these interchanges will be reconstructed as part of the future
widening of 1 215 Measure I. project. Reconstruction of these interchanges may
not occur for at least 7 to 10 years. Capacity improvements at these
interchanges will be needed well in advance of this timeframe. It is
recommended that the city of Grand Terrace work with Caltrans, SANBAG and
the city of Colton to identify interim improvements, such as ramp lane
reconfigurations to enhance capacity. These may be completed in advance of the
full reconstruction of these interchanges.
Circulation Fees
In 1999 the city of Grand Terrace adopted a development impact fee to fund
circulation improvements, including most of the improvements recommended in
this report. This fee program has not been updated and consequently is no
longer adequate to cover the maximum legally eligible cost of proposed
improvements that.may be covered by the city's fee program.
The fee program should be updated in order for the city to more adequately
cover the costs of required circulation improvements. Furthermore, update of the
fee program by November 2006 is necessary for the city to be eligible for
supplemental funding that will become available under San Bernardino County 's
Measure I Program starting in 2010.

- - MEMO
To: Tom Schwab, City Manager
From: Herman Hilkey, Council Member
Subject: Ad Hoc Committee on Traffic Mitigation Due to Highgrove Growth
Date: February 17,2006
I would like to place on the March 9, 2006 agenda, an item asking Gouncil to establish an
ad hoc committee to recommend priorities to mitigate traffic on the south side of the City of
Grand Terrace caused by the recent residential growth in Highgrove. The specific area of
concern, as I see it,would be on Mt. Vernon and Barton to the Riverside County line. I would
like Council to direct residents from that vicinity to sit on this committee and to use-the priorities
as set forth by our traffic engineer, as a starting point, and this report is attached.
In particular I would like to recommend that Patricia Farley and Wayne Youngman be on this ad
hoc committee.
Thank you.

CRA ITEM( ) COUNCIL ITEM(X ) MEETING DATE: March 9, 2006
AGENDA ITEM
SUBJECT: MID YEAR BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS -FY 05-06
FUNDING REQUIRED XX
NO FUNDING REQUIRED
Traditionally our annual mid-year budget review has been held at the first council meeting in
February. Since the agenda of February 9 was dedicated to matters involving the Colton Unified
School District, and because I was already pre-registered for the annual CSMFO conference on
February 23, I am presenting the review at this meeting.
Staff is requesting the revenue and expense adjustments to the adopted budget as listed on
Attachment 1. Total General Fund appropriation requests are$33,710, and one revenue
reduction of$17,536, Measure I appropriation of$2,400 and additional traffic congestion relief
revenue of $25,144, Sewer Enterprise Fund NPDES costs of$44,799, and Barton Bridge
appropriation of$24,000.
Council passed the FY 2005-2006 Budget on May 26, 2005. From July 1, 2005 through February
28, 2006, a total of$1,972,681 additional appropriations were made; $122,251 from the General
Fund, $222,076 from Special Revenue and Sewer Funds, and$1,628,354 from CRA Funds.
There were no city or agency revenue adjustments. These appropriations are listed on Schedule
A, Budget Adjustments FY 2005-2006.
A mid year fund balance analysis is also attached. The Barton Bridge Project Fund shows the
largest deficit at present based on the uncertainty of whether our last reimbursement request for
preliminary engineering expenditures will be paid by Cal Trans this fiscal year or next. Other
fund deficits will be covered by interfund loans at year end until additional revenues are received.
The CRA Project Fund shows a$1 million surplus contingent on the sale of property to Colton
USD for the new high school.
