AGENDA ITEM REQUESTS MUST BE SUBMITTED 1N WRITING TO THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE NO LATER THAN 14 CALENDAR DAYS PRECEDING THE MEETING a+ STAFF REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Honorable Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Community and Economic Development Department DATE: March 10, 2009 SUBJECT: Joint City Council/Planning Commission Workshop Draft General Plan Land Use Element BACKGROUND The preparation of the General Plan is governed by the California Government Code (Section 65300 et seq), and it requires that every city and county adopt "a comprehensive long-term plan for the physical development of the city or county, and any land outside its boundaries which bears relation to its planning". It mandates the preparation of the following elements: land use, circulation, conservation, open space, noise,housing and public safety. Over the course of 2007 and 2008 the Planning Commission has conducted a series of public workshops in on the proposed General Plan Update, including workshops on the General Plan Land Use Element and Map. The result of the workshops resulted in an Administrative Draft General Plan dated January 17, 2008, which was made available for public review, and later discussed during a March 20, 2008 workshop. The Land Use Element designates the proposed general distribution and general location and extent of the uses of land for, among other things, housing, business, open space, natural resources, recreation, and public facilities. It functions as a guide to planners, the general public and decision makers as to the ultimate pattern of development for the city, at build-out. This workshop is intended to discuss the Administrative Draft General Plan Land Use Element and Land Use Map and obtain any additional comments before incorporation into the General Plan Update. DISCUSSION The previous workshops discussed the proposed General Plan Land Use designations, which are shown and described on Table 2.4 Pages 13 through 15 of the Administrative Draft Element (Attachment 1). Changes made to the Administrative Draft are shown in redline format. Most of the Land Use designations already exist in the General Plan, with a few changes as follows: Joint City Council/Planning Commission Staff Report Page 2 of 3 Specific modifications to the Land Use designations of the proposed Land Use Plan include the Hillside Low Density Residential category located at the far northeastern end of the City. Because of the steepness of properties in this area and associated development challenges a Specific Plan or Planned Development will be required. The Medium Density Residential Land Use designation has been expanded to include Medium High Density Residential with an estimated build-out density of 20-units per acre. This designation is reserved for affordable senior housing projects. A new Mixed Use Land Use designation is proposed along the 215 Freeway, generally south of Barton Road and west of Michigan,Street. Properties designated as Mixed Use are intended to be developed with multiple uses on a single site, which may include residential,,commercial, business park, open space, and recreational uses. Mixed Use projects shall be required to submit a Specific Plan that demonstrates compatibility between, the proposed uses as well as any applicable buffering from adjacent properties. The Industrial Land Use designation has been expanded to include Floodplain Industrial. Properties in this location experience the potential for flooding resulting from their proximity to the Santa Ana River. Properties in this area are planned for development of light industrial, non polluting uses, and proposed development must demonstrate adequate protection from flooding. The proposed Land Use designations and Land Use Map were included in the project description of the Notice of Preparation and Initial Study that were circulated for preparation of the f Environmental Impact Report. Affordable Housing Overlay At the previous joint meeting of the City Council and Planning Commission, an Administrative Draft of the Housing Element was discussed. At that time, R-2 and R-3 sites were identified for potential designation with an affordable housing overlay. This will be a zoning overlay, so no changes are included on the proposed Land Use Map. The Zoning Ordinance will be amended to implement the overlay as well as establish the development standards associated with the overlay. Status of General Plan Update and EIR An Administrative Draft of the General Plan has been available for public review since January of 2008, and the Planning Commission has conducted workshops prior to and subsequent to its release. To date we have conducted joint workshops on proposed changes to the Administrative Drafts of the Housing and Land Use Elements. The other Elements of the General Plan include Circulation, Open Space and Conservation, Public Health and Safety,Noise, Public Services and Facilities, and Sustainable Development. At this time, additional workshops on the remaining Elements are not anticipated. However, staff will schedule additional-workshops of any of these Elements, at the direction of the Council and Commission. YAGeneral Plan UpdatelStaff Report-Joint WS.Land Use 3-10-09.doc Joint City Council/Planning Commission Staff Report Page 3 of 3 The Draft EIR is being prepared by an environmental consultant retained by the City. That process is being coordinated with City staff. Any mitigation measures that may be identified in the EIR process will be incorporated in the General Plan as either policies or implementation measures. A screen check of the Draft EIR is now being prepared for internal review by the City. Once the Draft EIR and Draft General Plan are ready for public review, public notice will be made available. Public notice will include the comment period for the Draft EIR and anticipated public hearing dates. The General Plan and General Plan EIR will be heard by the Planning Commission at a noticed public hearing and the Commission will make a recommendation .to the City Council. The City Council is the final review authority for the adoption of the General Plan and certification of the Final EIR. Staff's goal is to complete the entire process within six months. MEETING OUTREACH For the joint workshop, notice was posted in three public places and on the City's website. Additionally, announcements were made at City Council and Planning Commission meetings. CONCLUSION Staff request that the City Council and Planning Commission accept this status report, and provide staff with input, as appropriate. —' Attachment: Administrative Draft Land Use Element YAGeneral Plan Update\Staff Report-Joint WS.Land Use 3-10-09.doc y.��`L.". ��+x�""..s ''+�Eis�"i.. ?..YA"�:W'Y,�''i:',Y.,y`•L;;":..;_j„'" cn cz Land Use Element s 2.0 LAND USE ELEMENT 2.1 INTRODUCTION 2.1.1 Purpose and Function The Land Use Element is often considered the most critical element of a General Plan. It provides overall #, _ guidance to all properties within the City through the 131 distribution of land uses, by type,including residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, and open space. �. The Land Use Element identifies each land use designation's location and intensity, and its - interrelationship with other land uses. The Land Use — _ - '✓" Element translates the City's long range vision for development in the City and provides a Land Use Plan, goals,policies, and implementation programs to achieve that vision. In order to provide guidance for the physical development of the City, the Land Use Element must take into consideration the other elements of the General Plan that identify constraints or opportunities for the development of individual properties. Issues that must be considered include transportation systems,regional drainage, utilities, and geographic and geologic constraints, among others. 2.1.2 Relationship to Other Plans and Programs City Zoning Code9Fdinanee The City of Grand Terrace Zoning Code9r-dinanee sets forth the City's standards, guidelines, and procedures relating to the development and maintenance of all land uses within the City. These regulations are intended to implement the goals and policies of the General Plan while being consistent with the designations of the Land Use Plan. They are intended to protect the physical, social, and economic stability of City residents and businesses and their property;reduce or eliminate hazards to the public; and enhance the City's physical, social, and economic advantages through comprehensive land use and resource planning. Barton Road Specific Plan The Barton Road Specific Plan serves as the zoning codeerde for all property fronting along or directly related to Barton Road. It is intended to provide guidance for the development of predominantly commercial property along the primary transportation corridor through the City. The boundaries of the Barton Road Specific Plan are identified on Exhibit 2-1.

The area west of Interstate 215 includes pockets of Grand Terrace property intermingled with pockets of Colton property. As such, the City of Grand Terrace must carefully monitor development and land uses in the City of Colton adjacent to Grand Terrace. Development in adjacent areas of Colton have the opportunity to create land use compatibility conflicts, generate traffic problems within Grand Terrace, and potentially generate environmental hazards that could impact Grand Terrace residents. Review of the Colton General Plan offers Grand Terrace the opportunity to plan accordingly and cooperate with Colton to ensure land use compatibility, improve efficiencies in public services, and mitigate potential environmental impacts generated by future development. County of Riverside General Plan The County of Riverside's unincorporated community of Highgrove lies immediately south of Grand Terrace. This area is projected to experience significant future growth that could potentially impact Grand Terrace in a similar manner as the City of Colton. Careful review and monitoring of development within this area will again allow Grand Terrace to plan accordingly and cooperate with Riverside County to ensure land use compatibility, improve efficiencies in public services, and mitigate potential environmental impacts generated by future development. Sphere of Influence The Sphere of Influence of the City of Grand Terrace encompasses its current City limit boundaries. It lies adjacent to the City of Colton to the north, east, and west. The County of Riverside lies immediately to the south. There are no opportunities to annex adjacent unincorporated San Bernardino County lands. 2.1.3 Relationship to Other Elements The Land Use Element has the broadest scope of all the General Plan's elements. Since it governs how land is used throughout the City, virtually all issues and policies contained in other elements relate to the decisions to be made by the Land Use Element. Examples of these relationships include the need to provide a circulation system to allow residents and workers to travel between land uses, and to ensure that the street system is adequate to serve intended lands uses. Residential uses must be protected from incompatible uses that could generate significant noise, air pollution or other hazards that might impact the residents. All land uses involving structures must be protected from man-made and natural hazards such as flooding, fires, and seismic events. 2.2 EXISTING CONDITIONS As illustrated in Table 2.1 and Exhibit 2-32, Grand Terrace is predominantly a residential community. Approximately 42 percent of existing development in the City is residential in nature. The City was formerly an unincorporated bedroom community surrounded by the City of Colton. Predominant II-5 Administrative Draft City of Grand Terrace General Plan 2/17/2009'�",,-r74200o Land Use Element 61 commercial and industrial activities focused along regional transportation corridors in other areas of Colton leaving Grand Terrace to primarily develop as a single family residential community. Since the majority of the community is located on the west side of Blue Mountain, the terrain offered scenic views that attracted residents while making large scale development of commercial and industrial uses more difficult. The majority of the remaining undeveloped land isjocateda&4eeate on Blue Mountain,in the Santa Ana River floodplain, or adjacent to the I-215 Freeway.

The following section defines each land use designation shown on the Land Use Plan and provides its density range and general development standards required in accordance with State law. Each land use designation is typically implemented by a defined set of zoning designations includeding in the City's Zoning Code9r-dinanee. The Zoning CodeAr-dinanee contains detailed regulations relating to permitted and conditional uses allowed within each zone, site development standards, and performance criteria that serve to implement the goals and policies of the General Plan.

Proposed developments within this area shall be required to prepare a Specific Plan. Clustered development that protects sensitive slopes and natural resources shall be strongly encouraged. Low Density Residential(LDR) The Low Density Residential designation limits land uses to single family Density Range-0 to 5 dwelling detached-residential units and mobile homes subject to the applicable units per gross acre General Plan policies and Zoning CodeAflinanse provisions. This designation encompasses the majority of property within the City and is largely associated with existing housing developments throughout the city. t� Medium Density Residential The Medium Density Residential designation include both single family (MDR) detached and multiple family attached developments. Permitted uses Density Range—6 to 12 dwelling within these areas may include small lot single family developments or units per gross acre. attached multi-family developments including townhomes, condominiums,and apartments. Mobile home developments are also permitted.

II-14 Administrative Draft City of Grand Terrace General Plan 2/17/2009i Imoo Land Use Element I'M General Commercial (GC) This designation is primarily located along Barton Road and near the I- 215 fFreeway. It provides for general commercial uses to serve the retail and service needs of the community. Office Commercial (OC) Office commercial uses are used as a buffer between residential areas and general commercial areas. The properties designated for Office Commercial uses are primarily located along Barton Road east of Mount Vernon Avenue and north of Barton Road west of Mount Vernon Avenue. Permitted uses may include office/administrative uses and supportive retail and service commercial uses JANDUST-11 'aht dustrial(LI) Permitted uses for properties designated as Industrial include those uses that can be made compatible with other-surrounding uses within the City regarding noise,dust,odors,vibration,glare, air quality,traffic, aesthetics, and hazardous materials. Typical uses may include light manufacturing and assembly, small scale warehousing and distribution, research and development, and administrative and service types of uses. Floodplain Industrial (FI) Properties designated with the Floodplain Industrial designation experience the potential for severe flooding resulting from their proximity to the Santa Ana River. Properties within this designation are planned for ultimate development as light industrial, non-polluting uses similar to the Light Industrial designation. Proposed developments must demonstrate that adequate measures can be implemented to ensure that the proposed ti use is effectively protected from identified flood hazards. Presently,parcels within this area are largely undeveloped or developed as rural residential land uses. It is anticipated that buildout of this area will occur over a long period of time. During this buildout period,existing residential uses shall be permitted and regulated under the requirements of the Low Density Residential land use designation. Light agricultural uses shall be permitted including the keeping of animal with the approval of an Agricultural Overlay zoning designation. jNSTIVITITIONAL .: Public(P) Public uses may include schools,parks,the City Hall,City maintenance facilities and facilities owned and operated by public utilities. 1:6PEN'SPA"CE' L _�enrsmace(OS) Properties designated as Open Space are those that should not be developed as urban land uses due to environmental resources, environmental constraints or scenic resources. These are primarily located along the western and northern slopes of Blue Mountain. Properties designated as Hillside Open Space shall be retained in their natural condition and used as either natural open space or parkland. They may be either publicly or privately owned. 11-15 Administrative Draft City of Grand Terrace General Plan 2/17/20091 48 Land Use Element Mixed Use(MU) Properties designated as mixed use are intended to be developed with multiple uses on a single site. This may include residential,commercial, business park,open space,and recreational uses. Compatible uses may be placed horizontally or vertically on the site. All Mixed Use projects shall be required to submit a Specific Plan or Planned Development that demonstrates compatibility between the proposed uses as well as'buffering from adjacent properties,if warranted.Densities may not exceed those of the residential,commercial and industrial designations of the General Plan and zoning. 2.4.3 Buildout Analysis Table 2.5 presents and analysis of residentially designated land and the total number of estimated dwelling units and population at ultimate buildout. As illustrated, at ultimate development of the residential component of the Plan, the City population is estimated to be approximately 15,747. These estimates are based upon the total acreage by land use type, an average probable density in dwelling units per acre, and the City's current average population per household. The analysis also assumes that certain properties with higher density designations that are currently underutilized would be redeveloped to the average designation's density. Non-residential land uses comprise approximately 41 percent of all land within the City and include employee generating commercial and industrial property as well as open space lands. Table 2.6 summarizes the build out of non-residential uses and their potential employment generation. As illustrated, at buildout, a total approximately 11,800 jobs may be available within the City.

I want to take a moment to clear the air. This is not true. On the contrary, our enrollment is slowly increasing as we move forward with our plans to continue serving our City and surrounding cities for a long time to come. If you have any questions,please feel free to come to us. Thank you." REPORTS 5A. Committee Reports 1. Crime Prevention Committee a.

STAFF REPORT CRA ITEM ( ) COUNCIL ITEM ( X ) MEETING DATE: March 10, 2009 r - FUNDING REQUIRED ( ) NO FUNDING REQUIRED ( X ) SUBMITTED BY: Community and Economic Development Department SUBJECT: "HAM" Radio Antennas Ordinance RECOMMENDATION: Conduct a public hearing and adopt the proposed "HAM" Radio Antennas Ordinance and Negative Declaration BACKGROUND Over the past year, there have been numerous discussions regarding standards for HAM radio antennas. An ordinance has been proposed to establish development standards and the review process, which has been revised based on committee review and public comments during meetings of both the Planning Commission and City Council. On August 21, 2008, the draft Amateur Radio Antennas Ordinance was again presented to the Planning Commission, which incorporated the recommendations of the Amateur "HAM" Radio Antenna Committee established by the City Council. Following the discussion, the Planning Commission directed staff to clarify provisions relating to height, notification of surrounding property owners, and approval authority of Land Use Applications to install radio antennas. DISCUSSION On January 22, 2009, the Committee met to review an updated Ordinance, which clarifies the standards as requested by the Planning Commission, as follows: 1. Antennas that do not exceed fifteen (15) feet if ground mounted or ten (10) feet if roof mounted do not require submittal of. a Land Use Application. 2. Antennas up to 35 feet above ground require a Land Use Application ($50.00 fee) and may be approved by the Community and Economic Development Director if all development standards are met. COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. � 1 3. If the Director has health and safety concerns or if the antenna does not meet the Ordinance's development standards, the application will be referred to the Planning Commission (no additional fee). 4. The applicant may appeal a decision of the Planning Commission to the City Council (no additional fee). 5. A 300-foot radius notification of adjacent property owners is required for all applications, regardless of height or number of antennas. The Committee also recommended that a section limiting the length and diameter of an antenna boom be deleted because related setback and total array area standards adequately addressed the size issue. The Committee then voted 12 to 1 in favor of forwarding the proposed Ordinance to the Planning Commission, with this last modification. On February 19, 2009, the Planning Commission unanimously approved recommending that the City Council adopt the Ordinance and Negative Declaration. The Amateur "HAM" radio Antennas Ordinance is attached. A redline version depicting the modifications is available upon request. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: An environmental Initial Study was prepared for the project in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which determined that the project will not have an adverse impact on the environment and a Negative Declaration was prepared. A copy of the Initial Study and Negative Declaration are attached.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED: The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a"Potentially Significant Impact"as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. ❑ Aesthetics ❑ Agriculture Resources ❑ Air Quality Biological Resources ❑ Cultural Resources ❑ Geology/Soils ❑ Hazards&Hazardous ❑ Hydrology/Water ❑ Land Use/Planning Materials Quality ❑ Mineral Resources ❑ Noise ❑ Population/Housing ❑ Public Services ❑ Recreation ❑ Transportation/Traffic ❑ Utilities/Service Systems ❑ Mandatory Findings of Significance DETERMINATION: (To be completed by the Lead Agency) On the basis of this initial evaluation: ■ I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. ❑ 1 find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, then will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent.A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. ❑ 1 find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment,and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. ❑ 1 find that the proposed project MAY have a"potentially significant impact"or"potentially significant unless mitigated"impact on the environment,but at least one effect 1)has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2)has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required,but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. Initia1StudyZ-06402.3 wpd-10120M Z- 1d 0 1 find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects(a)have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards,and(b)have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR.or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project,nothing further is required. yf fz o Signature Date Gwy L. Koontz Community Development Director Printed Name Title 'J Inma1StudyZ-064)2.3 wpd-10--2003 _3_ 15 EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: I) 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) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant,less than significant with mitigation,or less than significant."Potentially Significant Impact"is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant.If there are one or more"Potentially Significant Impact"entries when the determination is made,an EIR is required. 4) "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated"applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from"Potentially Significant Impact" to a"Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level(mitigation measures from Section XVII,or earlier analyses may be cross-referenced). 5) Earlier analyses may be used where,pursuant to the tiering,program EE&or other CEQA process,an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case,a brief discussion should identify the following: a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards,and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. c) Mitigation Measures.For effects that are"Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated,"describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project. 6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts(e.g.,general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. 7) Supporting information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. Imua[Studyl-06-02.3 wpd-10,20103 4- 1F 8) This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental effects in whatever format is selected. 9) The explanation of each issue should identify: a) the significance criteria or threshold, if any,used to evaluate each question; and b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance 10) The following abbreviations have been used in this checklist: +� a)AQMD=Air Quality Management District(Southern Califomia) b)BRSP= Barton Road Specific Plan c)EIR=Environmental Impact Report d)GP=General Plan e)MEA=Mater Environmental Assessment Environmental Issues: InmalStudyZ-06-02.3 wpd-10,20/03 17 Less Than Potentially significant with Less Thaa signincant Mitillatlon SignHkant No Impact Incorporation Impact Impact 1.

Brief explanation to answer I: I a)The limitations in the proposed ordinance on the height,the size of the antenna arrays and number of antenna structures permitted on one parcel will insure that there will be no"substantial"adverse effects on a scenic vista. Finding: Impact less than significant.No mitigation is required. I b)Minimal land disturbance, if any,would be required to put up a proposed antenna structure. Therefore,there will be no"substantial"damage to scenic resources. In addition,there are no state scenic highways within the City of Grand Terrace according to the Caltrans California Scenic Highway Program. Finding: No Impact.No mitigation is required. I c)Again,the limitations on the height,size and number of antennas that can be put up will insure that no visual or scenic resources will be"degraded"substantially. Finding: Impact less than significant.No mitigation is required. I d)The antenna structures permitted under the proposed ordinance will be required to be maintained in good condition including repainting when necessary. In addition, the permitted antenna structures will not be high enough to require any kind of safety lighting. Therefore, there will be no light or glare which would affect day or nighttime views. Finding: No Impact. No mitigation is required.

AGRICULTURE RESOURCES: In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model(1997)prepared by the California Dept.of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland Would the project: a)Convert Prime Farmland,Unique Farmland, ❑ ❑ or Farmland of Statewide Importance ❑ ■ (Familand),as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency,to non-agricultural use? b)Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural ❑ ❑ use,or a Williamson Act contract? ❑ ■ c)Involve other changes in the existing ❑ ❑ environment which,due to their location or ❑ ■ nature,could result in conversion of Familand, to non-agricultural use? r� A brief explanation to answer II: II a)The limited amount of land necessary to erect a amateur, "HAM,"radio antenna structure will ensure that there would be no widespread or even limited conversion of prime farmland. In addition, antenna structures will be places on residential sites which have already been converted to non- agricultural uses. In addition,there are currently no significant agricultural resources in the City of Grand Terrace. H b)The proposed ordinance would not prohibit any of he proposed uses in the Ci s"Agricultural Overlay"zone; therefore it will have no impact on existin zoning for ty' ddion there are no parcels in the Citywhen the g g agricultural uses. In addition, contract. properly owner has entered into a Williamson Act" H c)Amateur,"HAM,"radio antenna structures will be auxiliary uses primarily which already have been converted to non-agricultural uses.

As there will be no grading to put up an antenna structure, there will be no generation of dust or the emissions associated with grading, In addition, the operation of these facilities will involve no generation of air emissions. Therefore there will be no violation of an air _) quality plan such as the"2007 Air .. � ual>I Quality Management Plan adopted by the SCAQMD. III b)The proposed ordinance would not violate any air quality standard or contribute"substantially" to an air quality violation because the lack of dust and air emission generation cited above. III c)The proposed ordinance would not"result in a cumulatively considerable net increase"in air Pollutants because of the lack of dust and air emission generation cited above. III d)The proposed ordinance would not"expose sensitive receptors to substantial concentrations" because of the lack of dust and air emission generation cited above. M e)No objectionable odors would be generated by the use or operation of amateur,antenna structures and equipment permitted b the '"HAM+"radio Y proposed ordinance. In addition,as no grading would be required,no odors associated with grading equipment would be generated. Finding for III a-e:No Impact. No mitigation is required.

As there will be no grading to put up an antenna structure, there will be no "substantial"modification of habitat areas, if any exist in the City. At present, there are no known -� endangered,threatened or rare species in the City. In addition, the City Is General Plan,no significant �J natural resources have been identified in the urban areas of the City where antenna structures would be constructed. In the absence of any endangered, threatened,or rare species or their habitats,no impact related to this issue would occur. IV b)The amateur, "HAM,"radio antenna structures allowed by the proposed ordinance would not have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community for the reasons cited above. IV c)The amateur,"HAM,"radio antenna structures allowed by the proposed ordinance would not have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands through direct removal,etc.,for the reasons cited above. IV d)The amateur, "HAM,"radio antenna structures allowed by the proposed ordinance would not interfere substantially with wildlife dispersal or migration corridors because of little or no land disturbance, including lack of grading,that will be required to construct such facilities. IV e)The proposed ordinance will not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources in that anyone seeking a permit to construct an amateur, "HAM,"radio antenna structure will have to comply with all applicable City regulations before a permit would be issued. IV f)The proposed ordinance will not conflict with any adopted habitat conservation plan in that there are no such adopted habitat conservation plans that include the City of Grand Terrace.

CULTURAL RESOURCES—Would the project: a)Cause a substantial adverse change in the ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ significance of a historical resource as defined in §15064.5? b)Cause a substantial adverse change in the ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to§15064.5? c)Directly or indirectly destroy a unique ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature? d)Disturb any human remains,including those ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ interred outside of formal cemeteries?(There are no cemeteries in Grand Terrace nor are there any known human remains on the site.) A brief explanation of answer V: V a-c)As discussed in the City's General Plan,the history of the City,particularly the agricultural use of the area,makes the possibility of finding archaeological and paleontological resource material remote. The General Plan also states that there are little or no historical resources in the City. In addition,no grading will not be required to construct or erect an amateur,"HAM,"radio antenna structure. These facts will insure that the proposed ordinance will not result in adverse impacts to archeological,paleontological or historical resources. V d)There are no cemeteries in Grand Terrace. In addition,it is unlikely that human remains would be disturbed outside of a"formal"cemetery in that,according to the General Plan, "the existing body of knowledge has not identified any likelihood of local settlement by native Californians." Therefore it is highly unlikely that the lack of or very limited amount of ground disturbance to erect an amateur, "HAM,"radio antenna structure would disturb any human remains.

Therefore no amateur, "HAM,"radio antenna structures permitted by the proposed ordinance would fail through fault rupture which is the failure of a structure caused by the displacement along the trace of the active fault. VI a-ii)The City of Grand Terrace could be subject to strong ground shaking during a seismic event in the Southern California region. However, the antenna structures will require building permits as determined by the City's Building Official. One of the considerations in granting a building permit is that these structures will not fail during a seismic event including strong seismic ground shaking. VI a-iii)The antenna structures will require building permits as determined by the City's Building Official. One of the considerations in granting a building permit is that these structures will not fail during a seismic event including failure from or due to liquefaction. In addition, the Environmental Impact Report for the City's General Plan states that liquefaction is unlikely to occur in most portions of Grand Terrace. VI a-iv)According to the Environmental Impact Report for the City's General Plan,landslides are a relatively minor hazard in the City and would not be expected to represent a significant hazard. VI b)Because no grading would be involved in constructing or erecting an amateur,"HAM,"radio J antenna structure,no significant impacts would result in soil erosion or loss of topsoil. VI e)These structures will require building permits as determined by the City's Building Official. One of the considerations in granting a building permit is whether a"soils report"would be required which would identify unstable soils. VI d)These structures will require building permits as determined by the City's Building Official. One of the considerations in granting a building permit is whether a"soils report"would be required which would identify expansive soils.

This collaborative effort between the City of Grand Terrace Redevelopment Agency and Corporation for Better Housing will result in the development of a gated, high-quality senior living community offering 103 one-bedroom and 17 two-bedroom apartments. The project will primarily serve senior citizens with limited income, but also includes market rate units. A new 7,000 square foot senior community center has been incorporated into the development to replace the City's aging senior center that has been on the site since 1991. JoAnn Johnson has been a driving force for the seniors since 1987. She has volunteered thousands of hours to the current Senior Center as the manager of the Information and Referral Office, supporting the needs hundreds of seniors over the years. In addition, JoAnn Johnson has been given/ participates: • "Citizen of the Year" in 1990 • Volunteer of the Year in 1990 and 1992 • RSVP District Service Award 2003 • City of Grand Terrace Award and Commendation 2003 • Presidential Award for Volunteerism 2003 • Foundation of Grand Terrace Board Member • Board Secretary for.the Friends of Blue Mountain • Former Citizen's Patrol Member starting in 1987 • Current Emergency Operation Center Secretary • Current Crime Prevention Secretary and Committee member since 1988 • Extra Class in Amateur Radio Operator COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. � Staff has been working with the seniors at the current on the design of the center ensuring that it will meet or exceed their standards. The City looks expanding its many senior-oriented programs within this new facility. It has been brought to the attention of staff by Mayor Maryetta Ferre, to name or dedicate the new senior center in honor of JoAnn Johnson. RECOMMENDATION: Staff is seeking City Council guidance on the naming or dedication of the new senior center.
