DELIVERY OF A FIRST AMENDMENT TO JOINT EXERCISE OF
'--' POWERS AGREEMENT AND RELATED DOCUMENTS
In 1981 the City of Grand Terrace structured a thirty million
dollar bond issue to provide below-market financing for single
family homes This was established primarily for the Griffin
Development Company, which was the company constructing housing in
the community at that time
In 1987 the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) restructured the
bond issue, sold the residual assets to Meridian Bank, and withdrew
$413, 750 in cash In 1991 staff, Korking with the cities of
Lancaster and Huntington Park, created the Lancaster/Grand
Terrace/Huntington Park Housing Financing Authority for the purpose
of pooling the defeased bond issues and, again, restructuring the
issue The Agency was paid a fee of $50, 000 to participate in the
restructuring
With the current interest rates being the lowest that we have seen
in two decades, there is an opportunity, again, to restructure the
bond issue The Agency will be paid $25, 000 plus expenses
associated with the closing of the newly restructured issue
STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT
THE AGENCY ADOPT THE ATTACHED RESOLUTION WHICH ALLOWS THE CRA TO
PROCEED WITH THE RESTRUCTURING OF THE BOND ISSUE

ATTENTION PARENTS OF COLTON-TERRACE LITTLE LEAGUE
' Here we are past the half-way point of the season This
season has brought some of the busiest and exciting times
that our League has ever seen As you know , the League has
had dramatic growth this year , with all Divisions growing
Colton-Terrace Little League has grown by more than 60% over
last season We have grown from 425 youths to about 700
young people this season Of course , with grol,th there are
some attendant growing pains to be expected Hoc ever , with a
combination of the Little League format and a general spirit
of co-operation of the League members , most issues have been
handled in a fair manner as quickly as possible We must
always remember that it is " for the kids "
Phis season Colton-Terrace has added a nek and exciting
dimension to the League As most of you know c,e have added 2
Divisions of Girl ' s Softball One Division is for the 8 to
12 year old girls This Division has 6 teams of 15 girls
each The other Division is the Seniors , which is for girl ' s
of League age 13 to 15 The Senior Girl ' s Softball has 4
teams with 15 players each It has teen wonderful to see the
players gaining skills and learning to play the game Most
of these young ladies have never played on a softball team
before They are having a great time and a lot of fun The
Managers and Coaches , for the most part , are learning right
along with the players It is great to see the family
support that the girls are getting The League felt that
there was some risk at embarking into the Girl s Softball
venture When the Board of Directors made the recision to go
ahead , we went with all enthusiasm Looking for..ard we can
see a likely expansion for next season , as we heard of so
many girls that are saying that they plan to get into the fun
ne .t season Th-e problem could be that we may reed
additional playing and practice locations Of course this is
something that we should all help solve so that as many kids
as possible have the opportunity to play Little League
Have you seen the remodeling at the snack bar at Colton
Municipal Park' It looks great The purpose of the
remodeling was to comply with the new San Bernardino Health
Department Regulations The aim of the Health Dept is to
make all snack bars into "Jr Restaurants " As • ou can
realize , this has been a major expense to the League
However , we had to "bite the bullet" and do it In addition
to the expense to the League , there were a lot of people
donating their services and materials to this ma,or project
Now the Terrace Hills Jr High snack bar must be the next
target Colony Park only has a storage room and the City of
San Bernardino will not allow the modifications that would be
required to convert it to a full service snack oar We hould
desire to modify it so that service would be a\ a_lable to all
of the people attending Colony Park games Unfortunately we
must be content with the limited prepackaged i e-s that se

new teams which required uniforms , equipment , insurance ,
baseballs/softballs , game umpires as well as the Colton
Municipal Snack bar remodeling and of course replacement of a -1
lot of tired equipment and uniforms for the carry-o'er
teams
Let ' s see , we have discussed expansion allowing more
children to play and some of the attendant costs We have
mentioned the costliness of the Health Dept mandated snack
bai remodeling/refurbishing which is all nice but we must
face some hard facts This all costs money A lot of money
Money that has been slower coming in this season as compared
to some other years Our Fund Raiser candy/beefstick sales
aid not do as well as projected Our team sponsorsJhips were
down Some decline in sponsorships was anticipated as we are
no longer allowed to share revenue with the teams on extra
sponsors Revenue sharing violates Public Corporation/Non-
Profit status , therefore Little League , Inc was forced to
pass ruling on the subject Our snack bar sales are way down
at both Colony and Terrace Hills , since we have not been able
to comply with the aforementioned Health Dept Regulations at
these locations
The members of the Board of Directors have spe t much
time , thought and investigation searching for other revenue

RECOMMENDATION Approval
SUMMARY The approval of this proposal will allow staft to implement a
one-year sign code enforcement moratorium policy consisting of
a sign education campaign followed by code enforcement The
net effect of this project is to bring every sign on Barton Road
into compliance with the Specific Plan The report shows the
esults of the sign inventory and the permitted, non-conforming
signs which will be specifically affected b the sign amendment
Currently, permitted, non-conforming signs are grandfathered,
the proposed amendment includes those signs into the overall
policy approach for the Barton Road Specific Plan area
--,,'� ****************************
BACKGROUND
Sign Code Enforcement 1Ioi atorium/Education Policy
At it meeting of October 14, 1991, the City Council approved "an educational approach
towards sign code enforcement", consisting of a one-year moratorium for all existing tenant
signs in the Barton Road Specific Plan area During the moratorium, a sign education
1 COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM # (rA
22795 Barton Road • Grand Terrace, California 92324-5295 • (714) 824-6621
program will be implemented, and after the expiration of moratorium, code enforcement
will take place This one year moratorium will allow time for business owners and tenants
to learn the sign regulations and become in compliance with it in a voluntary manner Code
enforcement will only occur after one year New signs, however, shall continue to be
installed in accordance with BRSP regulations (Please refer to City Council report dated
October 24, 1991, Attachment C ) At this time, staff requests City Council reconfirmation
of the one-year sign code enforcement moratorium/education policy by approval of a
resolution
BRSP Sign Amendment
The sign code enforcement moratorium/education policy will be most effective as all signs
in the BRSP are subject to it In order to accomplish such an objective, a Specific Plan Sign
Amendment was recommended by legal counsel to allow inclusion of permitted, non-
conforming signs At its meeting of March 12, 1992, City Council directed staff to complete
a sign inventory to evaluate the scope of this project and the potential impacts of proposed
sign amendment on permitted, non-conforming signs on the BRSP area City Council also
directed staff to develop criteria to establish signs of historical significance in case
applicable
Staff has
1) completed the sign inventory Its findipgs are included below in this report,
2) developed criteria for historical significance, included in this report,
3) drafted an ordinance to implement the BRSP sig' (mendment (Attachment
B) and
4) prepared a resolution for the approval of the sign moratorium policy Please
refer to Attachment A
FINDINGS/IMPACTS
An overall evaluation of the sign inventory reveals that
1) A total of 109 existing businesses were inventoried and 188 permanent and temporary
signs were recorded (This figure excludes temporary window signs such as price
and product signs, as these signs were inventoried by window area occupied and not
by individual sign count ) Approximately 59 6% of businesses inventoned are within
commercial/office centers
2
2) Almost half of all signs (or 47 9%) were "permitted", corresponding to a total of 90
signs Out of the permitted signs, only 49 signs conform to the BRSP (or 26 6) of
total signs inventoried These permitted, conforming signs represent the signs
installed on new centers and individual businesses that are aware o'City regulations
3) All of the other 98 signs recorded (or 52 1% of the total) have no permits
Therefore, more than half of all existing signs are in violation of the Grand Terrace
Municipal Code
4) The County approved 23 of the 90 signs (28 3%) and the City approved 58 (or -
71 6%) of those permitted signs
5) A large proportion of non-permitted signs are conforming Out of the 98 signs with
out permits, 23 permanent and 22 temporary signs conform to the BRSP, a total of
45 signs (or 46%) Thus, 24% of signs inventoried are conforming, but without
permits, demonstrating that the BRSP regulations meet the needs of the business
tenants Altogether, there are 94 signs out of the 188 (or 50%) inventoned that
conform to the BRSP
6) As in Finding #2, only 49 of the 90 permitted signs conform to the Barton Road
Specific Plan, therefore, the subject of this amendment are those other 41 permitted-
nonconforming signs corresponding to approximately 42 8% of total permitted signs
Most of these signs have been permitted a long time ago by thell County (Please
refer to the list of Permitted-Nonconforming Signs, Attachment D )
7) Permitted, non-conforming signs represent 22% of the total signs inventoried They
also correspond-to 16% of total signs within centers and 27 7% of individual building
signs
8) Even though impact on centers appears to be less significant than on individual
buildings (27 7% versus 16%), the permitted, non-conforming signs on centers are
located primarily within two centers, thus accentuating visual discontinuity within the
centers and of Barton Road streetscape as a whole Permitted, non-conforming signs
located in centers represent 36 5% of all permitted, non-conforming signs
9) Major non-conformances compiled in the inventory are
- centers without a sign program,
- signs without opaque background and/or lacking a sign theme,
- monument signs which do not follow BRSP design guidelines and standards,
- excessive temporary window signs and gas station signs
3
A
It should be noted that the sign inventory computation of results purposely avoids to
name the businesses, but otherwise emphasizes the type of violations encountered in
the overall area and by center A copy of the sign inventory will be available at the
meeting Please refer to Attachment C for more information on the entire Sign
Inventory, its methodology and content
Interestingly, the types of non-conformances found by this detailed sign inventory are the
same as those originally found by preliminary window survey sign inventory (Please refer
to City Council report dated October 24, 1991 for a list of these findings, Attachment C),
thus confirming our premise that violations are not related to the core of the sign ordinance,
which deals with the amount and size of signs Current sign regulations are more than
satisfactory to provide for attractive and efficient signage The violations reflect 1) a need
for modernization of signs to make signs more efficient and to reflect a theme when part
of a center, and 2) a need for more strict enforcement of the City of Grand Terrace
Municipal Code, whereby all business signs shall have a permit
These findings show us the scope of the effort needed to eliminate code violations and bang
signs into compliance with the BRSP Staff feels that the results of the sign inventory
significantly help to justify both 1) an organized, well thought out sign policy for sign
education and code enforcement, and 2) the proposed sign amendment
CRITERIA FOR SIGN HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Staff developed criteria to select signs of possible historical significance, which will be
exempt from proposed amendment The source of the critena is a combination of existing
critena, plus staff and Historical Committee recommendations Please refer to Attachment
E, Sign Inventory Report, Page 1, for information on the criteria
Staff has also conferred and received recommendations from the City's Histoncal
Committee (Please refer to letter dated May 29, 1992, Attachment F) In order for a sign
to be considered of historical significance, it shall meet at least seven (7) of the nine (9)
developed criteria. Criteria No 1 is a must The sign shall have been installed prior or
within the first year from incorporation Staffs final recommendations for signs to be
considered as having historic significance include 2 signs (see pictures attached)
* Union Federal Bank Clock/Temp Sign
* Quentin Smith Rotating Barber Shop Sign

IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURES
In case the one-year moratorium policy is reconfirmed by the City Cot cil, and this sign
amendment is approved, all signs in the BRSP area will need to becomb in conformance
with City Municipal Code and the BRSP regulations This will start being enforced only
after one year from the date this project becomes effective
Staff will continue encouraging landlords to bring in plans to complete ign programs for
their centers, so that when tenants apply for permits, they would not be required to do so
and pay for it
All signs will be approved by staff Variance procedure is discouraged, si ce, per State law,
variances are not to give privileges but to provide applicants with the same rights their
neighbors have and they do not, due to special physical circumstances of property, such as
topography, lot configuration, etc
Minor variations can be approved by staff and the Planmng Commission applicable Sign
inventory revealed that only two signs will need to go to the Planning CI mmission for this
purpose All others can be reviewed by staff
PROCESSING COSTS
These factors allowed us to make an estimate of processing costs for landlords and tenants,
as shown in Attachment H
The average cost of processing for a tenant varies from $52 00 to $68.00 In the case of
permitted, non-conforming signs, staff proposes that peanut fees be waived by the City
Council, since those tenants have already paid for a peiuut sometime within the past 13
years It is roughly estimated that it would cost the City approximately $4,520 00
Conforming signs without permit will be required to pay for a field inspection ($53 00 fee)
and to submit plans for permits in case the sign is not up to code These tenants are in
violation of the City Code
During this process, we have learned that the cost of design and installation of sign varies
significantly by sign company, quality of materials and construction Please refer to
Attachment I for some rough, revised, estimated figures
Per legal counsel, the proposed one-year moratorium will allow all businesses in the BRSP
area to recuperate their investment within one year - the amortization period A shorter
period will significantly affect this capacity, while a longer one would affect the
implementation of the Specific Plan
5
Planning Department in turn will have an increased activity in this function, however,
with revenues The Barton Road Specific Plan streetscape will be sigmficantly improved and
become more attractive to new businesses while helping existing ones

***** ********************************
Background/Discussion
A preliminary sign inventory in the form of a window survey was taken by the Planning
Department staff The inventory revealed that illegal, non-conforming signs are numerous,
however, of a minor nature A list of types of illegal; non-conforming signs includes
- temporary and permanent window signs exceeding 25% of window area
certain monument signs which do not have a solid ground base or pilasters
within a planter area as recommended by the Barton Road Specific Plan
can-type signs with clear panels instead of opaque as recommended by the
Barton Road Specific Plan
a few pole signs, non-conforming with height and design guidelines
new business signs installed without permits
freestanding "A" frame signs in the public right-of-way
excessive signs at gas stations
No specific business violations were listed at this time, only the types of violations
Fortunately, violations are not related to the core of the Sign Ordinance, to the allowable
sign area, nor to the number and size of signs In fact, the Planning Department has
received no complaints regarding the Sign Code since it has been revised and approved with
the Barton Road Specific Plan All new commercial centers are complying with the
Attachment C
22795 Barton Road • Grand Terrace, California 92324-5295 • (714) 824-6621
ordinance regulations with ease The problem is less severe than it appeared at first
However, it should be addressed
In order to bring existing businesses in conformance with the Sign Ordinance, a sign
"educational approach" is proposed
Whereby businesses will receive a packet explaining the rules and given them a one year
grace period to comply with regulations where applicable Specifically, this would involve
the following actions
9
1 Gain support from the Chamber of Commerce
2 Send (the City or Chamber) to every business owner a sign packet including
- summary of Sign Ordinance
- summary of types of illegal, non-confoi piing signs existing in the City
at this time
- a grace period letter permitting each business to get acquainted with
the regulations and correct any violation within a one (1) year period
3 Continue informing new business of sign regulations at the time business
licenses are secured
r
4 Enforcing new, outstanding violations to avoid situations getting out of
control, i e signs placed on moving trucks, signs on the public right-of-way,
sign without permits and other similar signs
For the information of the City Council, the Planning Staff received support of this proposal,
especially Items 1 and 2, at the past Chamber of Commerce retreat If the Council is in
favor of this "education first, enforcement later" approach for existing business, staff will
proceed in conjunction with the Chamber of Commerce
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City Council move to approve an educational approach for sign code
enforcement of existing illegal, non-conforming signs

CITY OF GRAND TERRACE
SIGN INVENTORY REPORT
TO Patnzia Materassi, Planning Director
FROM Larry A Mainez, Planning Intern
DAl'E June 1, 1992
SUBJECT BRSP Sign Inventory Analysis
BACKGROUND
In March the Planning Staff was directed by the City Council to conduct a sign inventory
of the BRSP in response to the proposed amendment BRSPA-92-01 This amendment
would allow permitted non-conforming signs to be subject to the one year code enforcement
grace period for existing signs within the BRSP area It was also suggested that pictures be
taken of all businesses to document existing signs installed pnor to the moratorium
METHODOLOGY
The sign inventory required five steps The first step, mailing an introductory letter to all
businesses in the BRSP area This letter provided two functions, it notified all the
businesses of the inventory process, and eliminated or minimized the disruption to the
business owners daily activities The second step,.,was a thorough permit search of all
applicable files located in City Hall, and at the County of San Bernardino Planning, and
Building and Safety Department The third step, was the creation of an efficient data foiiu
which could be used to record signs out in the field, as well as other pertinent infounation
such as, compliance codes (see attachment #4) These compliance codes expedite the
process because, every possible violation has a particular code letter or number These
codes are placed next to each sign on the form The forth step, was the creation of a BRSP
sign data base which provided much of the information in this report The compliance
codes created for the form were used to input data into the data base which made it much
easier to query information The fifth step, was photographing every business in the BRSP,
and carefully including all permanent on-premises signs The final step, was the analysis of
all information gathered from the City and County files, and from the field work
SUMMARY
There were 109 businesses inventoried and 188 permanent on-premise and temporary signs
recorded From the 188 signs inventoried 90 or 47 9% were permitted and 98 or 52 1%
were unpermitted The 90 permitted permanent advertising signs are located on 60
businesses Further analysis also revealed that only 49 of the 90 permitted signs conform
to all of the requirements of the BRSP Also, 41 of the 90 permitted signs are non-
conforming Of these 41 permitted nonconforming signs 16 or 39% are located in centers,
and the remaining 25 are located on individual businesses not located in centers The 16
permitted non-conforming signs in the centers are found predominately in the Grand
Terrace Center, and the Barton Center
Attachment E
Analysis of the unpermitted signs revealed that a significant amount are in conformance with-
the requirements of the BRSP The 98 unpermitted signs consist of, 45 unpermitted
permanent signs located on 30 businesses in the BRSP, 16 unpermitted temporary signs
located on 12 businesses, 23 unperrrutted gas station signs located on 3 gas stations, 14
abandoned signs located on 10 businesses Further analysis also revealed the following, 23
of the 45 unpermitted permanent signs conform to all requirements of the BRSP, 14 of the
16 unpermitted temporary signs conform to all the requirements of BRSP, 6 of the 23
unpermitted gas station signs conform to all the requirements of the BR1SP
Window signs both temporary and permanent in the BRSP area were also inventoried As
a result, 11 businesses were found to have temporary window signs that exceed the 20%
coverage requirement All 4 businesses that use permanent window signs, are in
conformance with the 25% coverage requirement
The County of San Bernardino approved 23 or 28 3% of the signs in the BRSP area This
figure represents 18 businesses in the BRSP area
The City of Grand Terrace approved 58 or 71 6% of the signs in the BRSP area This
figure represents 41 businesses in the BRSP area
There are 12 shopping centers along the BRSP, Barton Center, Barton Plaza, Barton Plaza
Shopping Center, Grand Terrace Center, Grand Terrace Professional Plaza, La Mancha
Center, Potomac West, Terrace Plaza, Terrace TownFCenter, Town & Country, and Village
Plaza These 12 centers contain 59 6% of the businesses inventoried, and 42 5% of the
signs They also contain 27 5% of unpermitted signs, and 39% of the permitted non-
conforming signs in the BRSP
Sign preservation is also a concern of the Planning Commission and the',City Council So
in response staff has developed some criteria to assist in determining which signs in the
BRSP should be of historical significance, or exempt from any enforcement

Dear Patnzia
Recently your planning staff asked the Historical and Cultural Committee to review their
recommendations for signs that may have historical significance, and that provide a
community service The Committee was also asked to review the criteria for selecting those
signs After review of these two documents the comiiittee conducted a quick inventory of
the Barton Road area and found one sign that was not on your staffs list This sign is the
barber rotating sign located at 22476 Barton Road next to Mother Goose This sign was
originally located at the corner of Barton Road and Mt Vernon Ave
It is the Historical and Cultural Committee's recommendation that the City Council preserve
the following signs, because they have historical significance and provide a community
service
1) Union Federal Bank Clock/Temp Sign, located at 22505 Barton Rd (corner
of Mt Vernon Ave and Barton Rd )
2) Grand Terrace Barber Shop, Rotating Barber Shop Sign, (Rex Edmiindson)
located at 22476 Barton Rd (Barton Center next to Mother Goose)

and
WHEREAS, Items 1 and 2 of the proposed Zoning Amendment Z-92-02 are set out
in full in Attachment A including modifications to the following sections of the Zoning
Ordinance
Item 1
Chapter 18 63 Site and Architecture (Section 18 63 020 Application and
Section 18 63 040 Submittal Process)
Chapter 18 83 Conditional Use Permit Section 18 83 020 Application, Section

Modifications)
Chapter 18 89 Minoi Deviations (Section 18 89 050 Approval Process), and
WHEREAS, the proposed amendments are consistent with the goals, objectives and
policies of the City of Grand Terrace General Plan, and
WHEREAS, the overall impact of proposed amendment is 1) a faster, more flexible
review process for the smaller projects, a process more responsive to community requests,
and 2) an enhancement of aesthetic value of residential and commercial properties as zoning
regulations meet the General Plan goals and are clear to understand and easier to
implement, and
WHEREAS, increased staff level i eviews will
- pi oviue applicants of minor projects a more fair reviev, process iP
terms of time, cost and requirements since it will not require the same
number of plans, time of review, notice and so forth,
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM# 7
- make our process similar to most cities in the area, i e Loma `.znca,-
Redlands, Colton, Moreno Valley, etc ,
- likely diminish counter complaints regarding public hearing
requirements for small projects,
- avoid a small item to be the only reason for an official meeting Any
meeting requires considerable staff time, commissioners' time,
preparation of minutes, agendas, notices, letters, reports, and so on,
thereby increasing cost-effectiveness of the planning team and Planning
Commission work, l -
- allow staff to concentrate on major current and advanced planning
issues, such as the Housing Element, General Plat updates, Zoning
Code enforcement and other areas needing attention, and
1
- allow staff to propose a reorganization of the fee schedule, whereby
mall projects would cost less and larger projects more, decreasing the
need for City subsidies as currently occurs (approximately 90% of
application cost), and
WHEREAS, amendment to the Conditional Use Permit section will clarify
procedures, making it easier for the applicant to understand and for staff to implement the
regulations and conditions of approval, and
WHEREAS, amendments to the Minor Deviation section of the code will allow for
- Planning Director discretion to approve Minor Deviations with no
need to make State findings and base decision on her/his own findings
'As is" the Planning Director has no flexibility The!,process is basically
a minor variance,
- Grand Terrace regulations regarding Planning Director's discretion to
be typical as in the region, and
- Planning Director's discretion when, for instance, a setback shortage
of one foot may cause a property owner to lose a home loan
Processing time to m 'l.e State findings requires site inspections from
staff and field work from property owner, thereby delaying the process
significantly without a real need for it The environmental impact of
such a project is null and
WHEREAS, the pi opt tied amendments will not pose a detriment to the gentxai
welfare of the citizens of Gland 1 ci rice, and
WHEREAS, in accoiddncc with the piovisions of the California Environmental
Quality Act, a Negative Decimation has been prepared for this project and has been
approved by the PI„nnln5 C onimission and considered by the City Council This Negative
