Referring to a Council Minutes - 11/10/93 Page 3 mailer that circulated in the City regarding the School District matter, he remarked that he wrote to the Secretary of State and ascertained that Thelma Winkler is the Treasurer and Janet Lenaker is principal officer of the group, Citizens for a Grand Terrace School District. He asserted that the mailer is in violation of Educational Code 35760, which requires that the names and resident addresses of the Chairman and Secretary be printed on the flyer. He indicated that another flyer has circulated in the community questioning the inclusion of the LaLoma Hills in the Grand Terrace District boundaries, but he explained that the boundaries of the proposed district are approximate. He briefly detailed the district proposal process and indicated that he is unaware of any time constraints regarding the collection of signatures for the petition. He stated that if signatures of 25% of the voters are gathered, the process would proceed with the right of appeal yet added that signatures of 10% of the voters would also advance the matter but without the right of appeal.___ _He_ indicated_ � - that the fact sheet produced by-the -Colton -Jar/It Unified_ - School District can be obtained at City Hall or at the Chamber of Commerce. He related further that the State Board of Education has the power to grant or deny the district formation, adding that if the Board approves the formation, the matter will be placed on the ballot. Councilmember Hilkey, requested clarification of Mr. O'Neal's representation. Ed O'Neal, explained that he was addressing the questions he had received through Supervisor Riordan's office but was acting as a citizen of Grand Terrace and indicated that he was not taking any position on the issue. Mayor Matteson, clarified that the proposed School District is not a Council issue and is separate from the City government. Thelma Winkler, 12570 Mt. Vernon Ave. , Grand Terrace; spoke on behalf of the Citizens for a Grand Terrace School District and related the progress of the petition, explaining that the petition is a request to the County for the organization and recognition of a Grand Terrace School District. She indicated that the purpose of the District formation is to provide community identity, local control of schools, and high school instruction within the proposed district boundaries. She indicated that the group proposes the conversion of Terrace Hills Junior High School into a high school campus. She Council Minutes - 11/10/93 Page 4 explained that the junior high school students would attend classes at the elementary schools, clarifying that the elementary campuses would either be split or made into K-8 schools. She asserted that enough classroom space is available to accommodate the number of students anticipated for the proposed district, remarking that the issue will probably appear on the November 1994 ballot. She encouraged the public to sign the petition, announcing that over 1,600 signatures have already been obtained and urging everyone interested in assisting in the school district campaign to attend the meeting on either November 19, 1993 at 7:00 p.m. or November 21, 1993 at 7:00 p.m. at 22737 Barton Road, Suite 11, Grand Terrace.

Economic Development Techniques L ' Other ways, usually more effective than signs; to attract -through-traffic to our busmesses is by implementing economic development techniques such as "value added" and "busmess synergy" as follows- , 'Value Added" is anything special that you can add to your product which makes it more valuable than similar product sold at different location. Examples are: a) personalized service, b) special packaging, c) beautiful, clean and orderly surroundings and shopping atmosphere, d) any other item that complements the product (yours and of your adjacent neighbor) to create "synergy". "Synergy" m this context is the relationship between adjacent busmesses and their products Where busmesses are consistent with each other, they help each other's sales, i e. medical supplies, vitamin stores, pharmacies are-consistent with proximity to hospitals and medical complexes. Auth centers,even though products sold are vehicles,the proximity of all varieties in one same area creates synergy. Hospitality Lane has a sufficient number of restaurants and a variety of cuismes, enough to be considered the place to eat -- that is "synergy":- I 4.

Signs shall be installed in a manner to allow windows, doors and/or other elements of the vehicle, such as seating and storage areas, to function properly, i e. a plastic sign sheet installed over one or two windows, not permitting that window(s) to open, is not allowed Signs shall be installed in a manner to be proportional to and in harmony with the size of the vehicle, its form, shape and accessories For example, if a sign is painted on the rear of a vehicle which clearly has two elements, a tailgate and the rear portion of a camper shell,the sign shall take those two elements into consideration and shall not cover the whole thing as if it were a plain, blank wall Again, the purpose is to be a vehicle with messages and not a sign structure out in the parking lot or street Painted vehicle signs,when in the parking lot,shall occupy not more than one parking stall When on the street, they shall be parked adjacent to the curb directly in front of the respective property Vehicle painted signs not related to center businesses are prohibited. Materials and Techniques The recommended materials to be installed on the body of the vehicle include paint, clear plastic with figures and/or numbers on it, magnetic silkscreened plastic material and adhesive vinyl. (Material samples are available at the Community Development Department.) Other materials will be considered provided they are not thicker than 1/40 of an inch and have the appearance of paint. All materials and techniques used shall resemble paint No lose overlay sheets are permitted, nor attached wood, aluminum or sheet steel signs Recommended materials can only be used to decorate sides, rear and front vehicles, being directly installed on the body of the vehicle. No mounted signs will be permitted. Full-time delivery vans or trucks which are parked and/or stored in a garage or storage area elsewhere, not on-site or in public view, are exempt from this ordinance Attachment D Signs shall not be illuminated and their colors shall be compatible with center colors Compatible does not mean matchmg colors Usually, sign programs include three colors plus black. One of those four colors will be recommended, however, sign colors can also be compatible with other existing colors in the center not being the colors of existing signs Sign Message Messages can vary significantly and include business identification sign, inventory items and prices Message shall be directly related to primary activity of business and brand names are not allowed unless otherwise approved by the Planning Commission, i e. a van covered with multiple signs saying"Coors"or"Marlboro"is not permitted unless otherwise approved by the Planning Commission. However,"beer", "cigarettes","ice cream"and other inventory items are allowed Messages can be slightly altered without further review, provided such activity has been described and included into previous approval Number of Signs and Time Allowed Only one painted vehicle sign per business is allowed These vehicles can be parked in the business parking lot on an everyday basis subject to permit Off-site vehicles in the Barton Road Specific Plan area are only allowed during the first year of new business and shall follow banner regulations for time and fees. They are allowed to stay off-site 45 days out of a consecutive 90 day period not to exceed 120 days per year Off-site painted vehicle signs on other transportation corndors do not have this time restriction, however, are also subject to Planning review and permit c\wp51\plammng\misc\sign.veh GRAND TERRACE PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING NOVEMBER 4, 1993 The regular meeting of the Grand Terrace Planning Commission was called to order at the Grand Terrace Civic Center, 22795 Barton Road, Grand Terrace, California on November 4, 1993 at 7 00 p m. by Chairman Dan Buchanan. PRESENT: Dan Buchanan, Chairman Jim Sims, Vice-Chairman Matthew Addington, Commissioner Moire Huss, Commissioner Ray Munson, Commissioner Fran Van Gelder, Commissioner Doug Wilson, Commissioner Patrizia Materassi, Community Development Director Mara C. Muett, Associate Planner Larry Maine; Planning Technician Maggie Alford, Planning Secretary ABSENT: None. PLEDGE: Moire Huss, Commissioner CONVENED PUBLIC WORKSHOP SESSION AT 6:35 P.M. The Community Development Director said the reason the last meeting was canceled was to allow the Chamber more time to review the Sign Ordinance and the proposals staff had made and the discussion item would be held today. She said she talked to the City Attorney briefly to find out the difference in terms of public hearings and public meetings. She said the public hearing focuses on the people's input, but with a public meeting, the Commission and staff can set the rules. She said staff is proposing to have a discussion between the Planning Commission, the Chamber representatives and staff on the prohibited section of the Sign Ordinance. She said staff proposes that public input can be given, but not as a part of the discussion, since there will be a public hearing at the next meeting Commissioner Huss commented on the MA dinner she attended on "Gridlock at Public Hearings"along with Planning Commissioners from other 1 - Attachment E cities, stating that it seems our City runs smoothly compared to others Chairman Buchanan stated that he had the opportunity to attend a workshop for "Planning for More Livable Communities", which had a distinct vehicle emission and trip reduction orientation but was really much broader He said the general theme was, as a result of expansion of suburban communities, especially in Southern Califorma following World War II and the construction of huge networks of heavily subsidized freeway systems, Southern California became oriented to single family residences on fairly large lots and a heavy reliance on the automobile on a mode of transportation. He said whatever type of mass transportation existed in Los Angeles before World War II was dismantled to make room for freeways to accommodate vehicle traffic, and for a while this worked fairly well, until people realized we were creating a poisoned atmosphere that wouldn't allow people to continue to live if we didn't reduce smog and vehicle emissions, and the people were spending an enormous amount of time m heavily congested traffic in their commute from the suburbs to downtown areas He said there were interesting statistics presented, for example, somebody who lives m this area and works in Orange County or East Los Angeles, m an 18 year span, by the time someone's kids are born and reach 18 years of age, they will have lost two years of parenting time sitting on the freeway He said solutions are difficult, but the goal a lot of planning professionals are looking for right now is to find a way to accommodate the greatly increasing population of Southern California while reducing the reliance on the automobile for transportation, allowing people to use public transportation systems,which work in places like New York City, where 45% of the people that are going to work use public transportation, as compared to Southern California, where it is 3 to 4% He said Washington D C is over 50% He wondered if there was any coincidence that the community that has the largest percentage of people using public transportation also has the highest crime rate in the country. He said one big factor is public safety,you expect people to utilize public transportation once they feel safe in doing so. He said the concepts a lot of people are expounding now involve increasing housing densities to a significant extent and getting away from the traditional type of zoning, exclusionary zoning, and the result is people have to get into their cars to go from home to work. He said for a pedestrian-oriented community to work, there has to be 1/4 to 1/2 mile radius between where they want to go and where they are, or they are j going to drive. He stated that there were some interesting basic principles brought out — that some planners believe existing patterns of urban and suburban development seriously impair our quality of life. He said the symptoms are congestion and air pollution resulting from our increased dependence on automobiles, the loss of precious open space, the need for costly improvements to roads and public services, the inequitable distribution of economic resources and the loss of the sense of community. He said 2 - t several different planning principles were defined and recommended to be utilized to correct some of these problems He said at the beginning of all of this, he was thinking, they talk about loss of precious open space, asking what most people want — open space to look at, like the hills, or open space like a backyard He said most of us live in single family dwellings on fairly large lots, and imagines most of us chose to live like this He said he likes the fact he has a backyard and he likes having some personal open space rather than going out to a park just to be outdoors He said on the other hand, he can see how that results m a loss of sense of community He said one of the speakers he enjoyed hstenmg to showed a slide representing the classic picture of the American Dream, and it showed a two-story wood house with a white picket fence with mature trees along the sidewalk and blue skies, and everybody agreed this was the American Dream. He said he then showed another slide, which was a typical tract home from anywhere in Southern California, stating that this is what we are building and calling the American Dream. He said he realized for the first time that the most predominant feature of any house being built these days is the garage He said when we get home from work, we push the button, the garage door goes up, we drive in, we push the button, it closes and we are isolated He said homes don't have front porches — nobody sits out on the porch and watches the kids play, they do it in the backyard by themselves He said this community is fortunate enough to have active youth leagues, and people are surpnsed to meet their neighbors and actually realize that they are neighbors while standing at the edge of their kids' soccer field Chairman Buchanan said as the day went on, he got more of a sense of appreciation for some of the points they were trying to raise — not an abandonment of the American Dream, but realizing what it really is and trying to return to that — narrow, tree-lined streets with vehicles and garages relegated to the back, so the people in the community come forward towards the street and build front porches so people can sit out there He said safe streets are streets that are watched; streets lined by garage doors are unsafe streets. He said the notion of not trying to abandon the American Dream but trying to realize what it nz,cd to be was very interesting He said the speaker had some slides of wonderful places around the world and of current office developments,which showed the distinction is that now,we occupy space with buildings — then, space was created by the buildings, for example, building a horseshoe shaped buildings to create a plaza or a pavilion with a public area in the center. He said today there is a building in the center of a lot surrounded by parking. Chairman Buchanan said taking for granted that we must reduce our rehance on the automobile, he asked how to go about doing that, and the notion is you can put together some very nice communities that mix retail and office 3 and residential, and you can increase densities and create larger concentrations of people that reduce the expenses of infrastructure and make public transportation a feasible item He said they were shown illustrations of public transportation that missed the mark, where they set up a transportation station so far away from anyplace anybody needed to go that it was pointless, as well as some things that worked very well, where you stepped off of a commuter train right mto the downtown. He said he is still reading through interesting matenal, and he is not sure he agrees with everything as it must be recognized that there is a significant number of people that do not want to live m a brownstone or condensed, high density living situation, as a lot of people want space around them. He said a lot of people have left Southern California to go to Oregon or Idaho or Colorado and buy four or five acres and put a house right in the middle of it He stated that there are communities back East where the automobile has never taken control of society like it has here. He said one of the things they have talked about as part of the Traffic Management Plan is, in a community like this, how do you elmunate vehicle trips, and the answer is you can't. He said in this type of setting,where people live spread out as compared to Baltimore or New York City, you can't support public transportation -- you can't get people close enough to a transportation nexus where they can walk out of there home in the morning and walk down to the bus or train to go to work as it is not convement or practical Chairman Buchanan said the information is very interesting and will pass it on when he is done looking at it. He said we will be facing tins everyday, when regional agencies and the State and the Federal government start imposing onus requirements to reduce vehicle emissions and vehicle traps and concentrate on the old way of doing things Commissioner Van Gelder said m Chicago and New York, for example, public transportation is utilized for two reasons- when the population grew so drastically, there wasn't any more land, so they had to put their houses close together and go up —there may not have been a choice, but they did it, but they use public transportation because is La available, and we do not have that choice yet. She said rather than taking people's large lots away from them, why not include the MetroRail and the other forms of rapid transit, so that if people want to live in that kind of setting, they can. She said anytime i there is high density housing, there is a high crime rate Chairman Buchanan said a big problem is overcoming the problems of crime and safety, which is one of the biggest impediments to high density arrangements. He said they had counter-arguments that if you start mixing residential and commercial uses, the concentration of people drives out the crime, as the streets are not safe for criminals as people are there during the 4 day in the businesses and people there at night in their homes ADJOURNED PUBLIC WORKSHOP SESSION AT 7:05 P.M. CONVENED PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AT 7:05 P.M. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION: Commissioner Addington stated that with regard to Commissioner Van Gelder's concern that there might be a conflict of mterest with him serving on the Planning Commission and on the Sign Ordinance Review Committee for the Chamber of Commerce, he has not sat on any of those committees as he was out of town working, and he has talked to John Harper, the City Attorney, and he has told him there is absolutely no conflict of interest at all m this matter ITEM #1 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES - OCTOBER 7, 1993 Commissioner Huss stated that on page 3 at the top, instead of "Commissioner Wnght" it should read "Commissioner Wilson" MOTION PCM-93-63 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES - OCTOBER 7, 1993 Commissioner Addington made a motion to approve the October 7, 1993 minutes.

ITEM #3 Z-93-02/BRSPA 93-01/E-93-12 CITY OF GRAND TERRACE REVISIONS TO THE PROHIBITED SIGN SECTION OF THE SIGN ORDINANCE, CHAPTER 18,SECTION 18.80.160 AND RELATED POLICIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Chairman Buchanan stated this item was only for discussion and information purposes, not for any action. He said he will give staff the opportunity to make a presentation, and then they will open the item up for discussion purposes,but not for public testimony purposes He said smce it has not been noticed as a public hearing, this will be m the nature of a workshop session. He asked speakers to come up to the microphone so they can be on the record and to state name and address The Community Development Director presented the introduction and basic assumptions of the staff report, mcludmg the goal of creating a downtown, pedestrian-oriented, village-scale image for Grand Terrace She said she would then ask the Commission and the Chamber if there are any issues, then she would read the portion of the staff proposal on that particular issue She said if the Commission has questions on specific items, she can go through and read the Chamber's request and staff recommendation and some of the proposed ordinance amendments Chairman Buchanan said he thinks they all have had an opportunity to read through this, so he isn't sure they would gain much be re-readmg it, although there might be some points they could benefit fro z. Commissioner Van Gelder suggested going through them one at a time, and if nobody has any questions, they can go on to the next one. Chairman Buchanan agreed. He stated that copies of the report are available for the public The Community Development Director said the intent is to get mput from the Chamber and staff and take something to the City Council that the Planning Commission is comfortable with,because it is the Planning Commission's role 7 to evaluate proposals to amend the Zomng Code Chairman Buchanan said procedurally they are going to talk about this m a fairly informal sense, and at the next meeting, it will be before the Commission for formal action and they will be passing on a recommendation of some kind to the City Council, who will ultimately act on any code amendment The Community Development Director said they had the Chamber's approval when staff presented it to them, and there were some members that differed from the group idea, and maybe they want to bring it up today, and perhaps there are some merchants that have their own ideas, but basically, the Chamber has accepted so far that staff knows of, and if the Planning Commission accepts, that is what they will take to the City Council. Chairman Buchanan said there is a general consensus that what staff has put together is workable from staffs perspective as well as the representatives of the Chamber that staff has been dealing with He said this is the Commission's opportunity to thrust through this outside of the formal hearing process and to allow other people to put in their input Vice-Chairman Sims said they should be concentrating on those areas there is disagreement on. Chairman Buchanan said on each item, he will ask if anyone on the Commission has a problem or additional input and if anyone in the audience feels that particular item needs further amplification or disagrees with any of the comments that the Community Development Director has already made Chairman Buchanan said the first item has to do with fast track review and approval procedure for applicants for signs with a recommended turn around time of no more than five working days There were no comments from the Commission or the audience Chairman Buchanan said 2A pertains to Section 18 80 030, definition of roof signs, to change "constructed or placed upon" to read "constructed or placed above" There were no comments from the Commission or the audience Chairman Buchanan said 2B pertains to Section 18 80160, clarify and define animated signs Commissioner Wilson said the clarification could expand a little bit. He said he thinks the purpose of this is to not create a traffic problem, so it would seem that the definition should include, "so as not to divert the attention of 8 n t drivers" Vice-Chairman Sims asked if (inaudible) any parameters attached to this definition or are they already in place The Community Development Director said right now, they don't, they only have a prohibition, but they don't have any specifics to explain why,just that any signs that have lighting and depict an action or move around are not permitted She said one of the reasons is the traffic She said in the City ordinance, there are two intents traffic and aesthetics She said they could add this wording to the text Chairman Buchanan said he understands that the current ordinance just prohibits animated signs; it doesn't specify particulars about them, it Just says they are prohibited and what this is intended to do is make clear exactly what is prohibited The audience had no comments Chairman Buchanan said 2C pertains to Section 18 80160, Vehicle Signs, clarify definition "attached to" under Section 18.80 030. Commissioner Van Gelder said the italicized portion is very clear and very well done. LORETTA BENSON 21892 GRAND TERRACE ROAD G.T. Ms Benson said she has been sitting up there "chomping at the bit" because when listening to them talk about a pedestrian-oriented, village atmosphere She said she and her husband walk at night, and it is very dark down Barton Road She said they need street lights, and if they really want this kind of a thing, they need to do something about the town, because that isn't what they have — they don't have people who walk in the daytime or m the evening She said she is here because of the vehicle signs, and she understands they have caused a problem by putting up their vehicle sign, and she understands not even maybe wanting a vehicle sign in town. She asked what a person should do when they put a business in and it is their life savings and they are in a complex where nobody can see you. She said they went into the donut shop to have breakfast with the owner, and the owner said she came down Saturday to eat at Sub Depot and couldn't find it. She said if a person can't find your business that knows you're there,what do you do about the people who don't know you're there? She said they spent money on advertising in the Chamber paper and everywhere, and still, people don't know they are there, and that is the reason they put up a vehicle sign. She said there have 9 been tunes they don't have there truck there, and it is $100 to 200 in sales when that truck isn't there She said she doesn't mind taking the sign down if the City gives her some other way to attract people on the street She said they have to survive on the street, because there are approximately 15 eating places in town, and there are not enough people m this town to support all of them, yet the City continues to allow eating places to go in, so people like them take their sign down, then they can't pay their rent, then the landlord can't keep the place up, and then you have empty places and then they all go, and she knows that the City has a problem, but they have real estate signs up that have been up for a year and a half since she has lived in this town. She asked what the difference is between a real estate sign and them advertising their business of a year or year and a half She stated that the City doesn't know what to do nor do they know, and she asked what they should do when they end up in a complex that the City has approved that can't be seen from the street. She said if the City doesn't allow vehicle signs, then somebody needs to come up with a better idea than just a monument sign, because nobody can see their monument sign, and they are on it She stated she thinks that nght now it is fine to say they can't have their vehicle signs and they can't do a lot of these things, but the City needs to find a way for businesses to survive because there is over a 50% vacancy rate m this town. She said the City is not attracting businesses, it is chasing them out She stated she doesn't know what they are going to do if the City makes them take their vehicle sign down She said they put up a banner, and she tned to ask the Community Development Director if she could put up a banner that wasn't on the front of the building as nobody would see it there. She said they put one up but the wind blew it down, and this was all professionally done, and it did help She said they are happy to do anything that would comply with anything the City wants them to do as long as they can keep their business going, but they are at a loss about what to do, and she is asking the City to help them— if they take the vehicle sign, give them something else to attract people on the street because they can't just depend on the town. The Community Development Director asked the Chairman if she should read the City's response to the Chamber on this issue Chairman Buchanan said he didn't feel it was necessary since everybody has a copy of the packet. The Community Development Director said staff is proposing vehicle signs. Chairman Buchanan said staff is supporting them with some time restrictions. The Community Development Director agreed,stating that it might be good to read the section, stating that signs should be professionally painted, not 10 attached to the trucks Vice-Chairman Sims stated (inaudible) The Community Development Director said the signs are being proposed to be allowed from now on, as they were not before, and it is proposed they be allowed on a temporary basis for the first year of the business Chairman Buchanan said the big distinction would be if you had a van that had your business name painted on the side of it, this would be permitted, whereas mounting a sign would still be prohibited under this because it is talking about a sign actually mounted on the vehicle using the vehicle as a base for a sign as opposed to the vehicle simply being the sign itself The Community Development Director said it could be l ke a delivery vehicle or a vehicle that has the name of the business painted on the body. Vice-Chairman Sims said the applicant is bringing up a good argument, but the City didn't pick where she decided to start a business He said, however, that this proposal might be able to help her Inaudible conversation. The Community Development Director asked if she could read this portion of the report. Commissioner Munson said everyone understands it Chairman Buchanan said what would be more helpful that simply readmg what is already here is adding to it by explaining more about her rationale or some examples or something that is not already contained in here The Community Development Director said the proposal here is to continue prohibiting vehicles that are considered structures for the signs,where the sign would be attached to the vehicle. She said if there is a van, such as Mr.T.V. Video or Domino's,the van is a delivery vehicle, the City can eventually issue permits for that vehicle, and it can stay in the public right-of-way. She said these are all different things than the City has right now,however, the vehicle needs to be painted, not have signs attached to it, so it would not be a structure on the street or in the parking lot, and it would follow the Vehicle Code. She said staff is proposing this to be temporarily permitted similar to banners, like 45 days out of a 90 day period, not more than 120 days per year. She said it would be a temporary thing that would be on and off for the first year of the business. She also proposed that the City wants to contact a sign 11 company to give staff a list of techniques for signs that can be painted on vehicles, and establish some design guidelines that would make it easier for people. Commissioner Munson said he assumes they are talking about the little truck with the sign on top Just past Canal. He said they can't afford to go out and buy a van today, but maybe if they bought themselves a shell and attached it to the truck, and then they professionally painted that shell,which gives them more space with which to display merchandise He asked if this would pass for a professionally painted vehicle. The Community Development Director said probably,that this is the direction staff is going, and this is why she wants to develop the guidelines with a sign company so they would have very clear standards. Inaudible conversation. Ms Benson asked if the banner she put up was illegal and if it was on the public nght-of-way The Community Development Director said it was illegal because it didn't have a permit. Inaudible conversation. The Community Development Director said currently, no, because it is not attached to the building, however, the ordinance nght now gives staff some discretionary power, and if she would come to the City and apply for the banner, the Code gives a little bit of discretion to the Planning Director to accept an alternative location, but they have never approved one out on the grass area so far,so this would be the first time it would be approved,but that it could be done, so this is the bottom line She said staff approves banners all the time. Inaudible conversation. JIM BENSON 21892 GRAND TERRACE ROAD"'t r G.T. Inaudible conversation. 12 I — , Mr Benson said he would much rather be in Orange County because when you go there, you can find places as you can see their signs from the road He said signs were created so you can see them and find a place He said they have a number of places m that little stnp mall, and of those businesses, they lost one recently - True Value Hardware, which was an anchor for the shop. He said he talked to the Cleaners, and told them now they can put their sign on the monument, and they said they didn't want their sign on the monument because nobody can see it. He said there are only three spots on the monument, and if all the places were occupied, there are only three spots He said the Planning Director said they can add to the monument,which isn't an economic thing, as the Cleaners isn't going to chip in nor is the center they rent from and the market on the corner isn't because he doesn't need to, and the card shop said no and stated that the City has never done anything for him, although he said he sees a lot of business coming in to his shop, but baseball cards are known throughout, so he doesn't need a lot of advertising He said there are two businesses fighting for people and they work together, but the City doesn't seem to be working and they hear from customers who come m everyday, for example, a guy came in today asking how they were domg with their truck sign. He said he told the customer they are about to lose it, and the customer said that was the only reason he walked in. He said they have increased their business 30%Just from that sign because people can see it when they are dnving He said it is a professionally done sign, and even the Pasta Itaha owner said he would pay "X" amount of dollars to have one done like it. He said you have to be creative in these days of poor economics, and they went out and counted how many vacant businesses there are m Grand Terrace, and they counted 50%on Barton Road,not counting the 50% he (Pasta Italia) has empty m his shopping center off of Barton Road, which is even a worse location than theirs. He said they see countless vehicles going up and down Barton Road, but they don't stop, and wondered how to get those people in. He asked if you add another 10' to a monument sign that can't be seen already, or if you pamt a sign on the side of a vehicle that does no good to the cars going up and down the street, or do you pay maybe $12,000 for a van Just to put a sign on it He said that is not economically feasible — it is idiotic. He said there is something wrong if the City can't get businesses to come m here, and the City should be trying to do something — either they want business or they don't; take out all the businesses and put in condos and residential, or if there is going to be a business section that runs two blocks long, the City needs to do something to get these businesses going. He suggested running banner&across Barton Road, stating that this would be creative. He said if he drives down to Hespena down the main street he can find any business he wants to because there are signs all over. He said this City can not have a village atmosphere because the people are not out walking around. He said there is a dead spot nght at the end of JB's and until you get across the dnveway, there is no sidewalk — it doesn't continue 13 like it does once you get beyond their little shopping area, (inaudible) once you get down to the last house just before you get down to the Senior Center, there are no sidewalks, it is all dirt, and then you get down to the gas station and there are tons of lights, tons of signs, sidewalk signs, all kinds of things He said when you get across the freeway, there's Demetn's big sign which is nice, except you can only see it from one direction on the freeway, and that's coming in from Riverside. He said there are all kinds of things that he sees when he is jogging his five miles around Grand Terrace, and one is that it is not a village atmosphere, he doesn't see people walking around with their kids, he doesn't see businesses open other than liquor stores late at night. He said the combination deli-market doesn't have a deli in it. He said there is one right next to them with no food other than hamburgers and hot dogs, but it is open late, and the E-Z Mart by Demetri's is open until 10.00 p m or 11.00 p m., but there are no people out there walking — they come in their cars, they drive everywhere He said he and his wife are usually the only ones on the street, and he's probably the only one who has guts enough to run on the street at night time and up and down Jap Hill. He said that 174 didn't pass and 172 passed and now we are going to hold their breath for a year to see if we can even use that 1/2 cent tax for what they are supposed to be using it for, or is the government going to do like they normally do and send it off in some other direction (inaudible) law enforcement, which the City doesn't have enough law enforcement and has already had to cut 1/2 a patrol car and 1/2 a detective He said there are gang problems already in this town, and this was one of the areas when he was on the Sheriff's Department (inaudible) Vice-Chairman Suns asked what this has to do with signs. Mr Benson said he was talking about the work between the City and the businesses He said they need to work together and he doesn't see that right now; all he sees are these gigantic"For Lease" signs by people that own these centers, and every one of the people he talks to in these businesses just about have them up for sale (Inaudible) when I was a kid growing up with my mom, and sh: had two cafes over m Fontana (inaudible) through another economic slump He said when everything's good and (inaudible) you can have all the rules you want. (Inaudible.) WALT STANKOWITZ, OWNER LA PASTA ITALIA 12210 MICHIGAN, #7 G.T. 14 f, Mr Stankowitz said one of the differences is he is located in a light mdustnal complex as opposed to commercial. He said they have a wholesale operation, but they also have a small retail operation He said they sell their fresh pasta products to the general public at wholesale prices, and if they didn't do that, they wouldn't be there to sell pasta products to anyone He said the retail business, at this point, is make or break for them, and if they didn't have retail business, they wouldn't have a business at all, and they have been going on four years. He stated they are not a new business, and they don't fall under the rules of being able to have a sign or banner for their first year. He said he is m his fourth year and is still struggling, as he is in a location that isn't conducive, the frontage of their particular complex doesn't meet the minimums of the regulations here, it's very narrow and it's deep, and he's about half way down inside that complex, and the only thing that's out front is a mce,pleasing sign that says, "Park Center" He said John was at his place today, and he happened to get a telephone call from someone asking how to get to his place, so he went through the directions, and the last thing he says is to look for the Suzuki on the street with the "Fresh Pasta" sign, and when that's not up there, people come in and say they have driving up and down Michigan and haven't been able to find where they are located He said they advertise in the Press Enterprise and the Chamber newsletter, they do charity things to get themselves on television, they've supported baseball teams so they can get their name out in centerfield on a baseball diamond, they've done everything they can do to get their name out there, but again, it's the same thing, if people drive by and can't see the sign that says, "This is where you should turn", and that's all the sign says, "Fresh Pasta" with an arrow, it doesn't have the name of the business or anything, and then they have a sign on top of the building that is approved He said that is all they have -- that little sign out on the street. He said he saw the sub shop's sign when they first put it up and thinks it's very mce and would like to get one of those, and about the time he talked to the owner was about the time the sub shop owner was served with a notice that he can't do that anymore Mr. Stankowitz said they are m the same situation - they are barely making it, and he has data if the City wants it. He stated he as probably 1,500 retail customers who come in and buy products, as they are the only fresh pasta company in the Inland Empire, so it is something kind of special that Grand Terrace has, so they play on that calling it, "Grand Terrace's Best Kept Secret". He said the business they get from walk-in is probably 15 to 20%, so they must have something good because people come back, but to bring new people in, they have to have something to show them where they are at. He said they probably bring in 6 to 10 new customers per week, and of those 6 to 10, better than half of them have come in because of the sign. He said percent of total retail from that sign is probably 35% and they like the retail business because their margins are higher. He said they deliver, so they don't 15 l ' have the cost of jumping in a car or van and going off and delivering to a restaurant or grocery store, so they make more money when people come in and buy, and without the retail traffic, they wouldn't be here He stated that this has become a landmark, and it has been up for better than two years now, and nobody has ever come in to him and told him he is not supposed to have that sign. He said the mayor is a customer and has never said that sign is illegal. He said maybe as a busmessman he should have known better, but he did not get sign regulations, but he has them now, but for two years, he operated ignorantly and now he is suddenly being told what he has been doing for two years has been wrong all along and he can't do it anymore. Mr. Stankowitz said the present regulations that are out here and those changes that are being proposed really aren't going to do him any good;going out and buying another van to park on the street that's professionally painted is not going to get the attention — the little sign sits above the vehicle so it stands out and it can be seen. He said they keep talking about a pedestrian- oriented community and said he would ask each person to think when the last time was they walked to the store in Grand Terrace. He said he doesn't do it, and he'll let everyone answer it for themselves He stated that his sign is only displayed during the week from about 8.30 to 6:00; they don't have street lights, so the sign doesn't do any good at night; people don't come down into the complex at night and he doesn't blame them. He said they aren't open on weekends, so it doesn't sit up there on weekends when everyone else is home;they take it down every night and it is stored and they keep the vehicle clean and the sign maintained as best as they can. He said it is not professionally done, they made it themselves He said he looks to the Commission and staff to help them as they want to stay here as they like Grand Terrace and the people and the people like them, and the last thing they need to do is contemplate having to get out of here. He stated he is not going to lose his business because the City will not let him advertise, and if he has to, he'll go somewhere else The Community Development Director clarified a previous question regarding the public right-of-way. There is a 12' of right-of-way on Barton Road, basically where the sidewalk is, so once it is beyond the sidewalk, it is already private property, so the banner in that area could be approved. She said it would be a discretionary action as it is not listed in the Code right now, but it could be approved. She said staff has not done this before, but it doesn't say anything against it, and she has the authority to approve it if a permit is applied for as long it is on the private property. She said only real estate signs with the permission of the property owner are proposed to be allowed in the public right-of-way. 16 t .1 J 1 Vice-Chairman Sims said he senses a communication problem, and he can empathize with what is being said, but there have to be rules, otherwise things just run amuck, and sometimes there are rules but things run amuck anyway (inaudible)Just do what they want, and it makes it tough for these people to do their jobs; it makes it tough for this body to do its job and try to help, which is what it is here for. He said passion runs very deep when it comes to signs. He asked if the Chamber agreed upon this issue. The Community Development Director said the group that represented the Chamber agreed with staffs proposal Vice-Chairman Sims said there is some latitude if people come m and talk to her (inaudible) He said he drives by the pasta sign on Michigan and in his opinion, it is an ugly sign, and he hasn't gone to their store, but he doesn't like pasta He said he can appreciate the aspect of them needing the sign because they are back in a whole back there, but the sign could be beautified a little bit and still send the same message He said his problem with the sign is not that the sign is there, it is that it is ugly He said he thinks there is happy medium to be found, and the signs can be creative and somewhat appealing to the general public and still do the same thing they want it to do He said a pink sign that glows in the dark may be a little bit too much, but they can still do something that would be appealing and get them the business they desire, and he doesn't think anybody is against that, but there has to be a basic rule set to instill communication, not to try and bend the rules but to work within the framework, because if it is taken too literally, the busmess owners will never be happy and will say government is destroying their busmess (Inaudible) platform to negotiate (inaudible) He said you must start from somewhere. He said he doesn't disagree, but they have to give a little bit to establish'the ground rules and work from there He said he thinks the pasta sign can be greatly improved Inaudible conversation. The Community Develci Trent Director said according to this proposal, busmesses m the industrial area don't have the restriction of one year. Regulations are not similar to Barton Road, smce Barton Road is the City's major commercial corridor. However,they do have the restriction that he can not have the sign attached to the vehicle, but he could have the sign there permanently, provided it is a sign painted on the body of the vehicle Vice-Chairman Suns stated (inaudible). Inaudible conversation. 17 Ms Benson said she thinks that is what they are trying to say, "Is there a way9", because from what she understands from Patrizia is they can not have a vehicle sign, only a painted vehicle, and what he (La Pasta Itaha) ns asking and she is asking is, if they want a vehicle sign, if the City wants it white with black lettering or if they want it circular, then that's fine, they can abide by that, but they have been told, "No vehicle signs", and they are wondering what they should do now. The Community Development Director said that was correct as they didn't have that information in the code before, and it is being introduced now. She said this is the revision to the current code in response to the business, so staff is clarifying the code and mtroducing new flexibility, and now what is being proposed is that painted vehicle signs are being permitted according to certain circumstances in different zones in the City Ms Benson said if staff tells them they have to have a certain color sign, a certain vehicle sign done professionally or whatever, tell them and give them that latitude,which staff is not. She said staff is saying no vehicle signs, only painted vehicles Chairman Buchanan said staffs proposal and staffs position at this point m time is that signs mounted on vehicles should be prohibited. Ms Benson said she is asking that staff please let them have some kind of a sign, and it is okay if it has to be a certain size, color and structure; tell them what that is and let them abide by that and they will. Commissioner Addmgton said he believes she is saying that we are telling her everything she can't do, but we're not giving her any suggestions on what she can do The Commumty Development Director said they have talked about umbrellas, banners, menu signs and each tenant can have a wall sign, several window signs, so there are five or six types of signs *hat a tenant can have, so staff has suggested other ways to advertise the business without being with a structured vehicle sign. She said they have incorporated the delivery van or truck, that it can stay in the parking lot permanently and on the street on a temporary basis, so this is what staff is proposing in response to the business owners' request,and they haven't gone as far as proposing to permit what is out there right now Commissioner Addington asked if staff has had the opportunity to present these alternatives to this particular merchant. 18 The Community Development Director said she has presented it to the representatives of the Chamber and it was accepted but not to particular businesses She said she has not had the chance to do this, but is willing to do so GENE MCMEANS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE/RIVERSIDE HIGHLAND WATER 2025 S. GLENWOOD COLTON Mr McMeans said with regard to Vice-Chairman Sims statement that the pasta sign was "ugly", he is not disagreemg with that, as he thinks it catches your eye because it is ugly, but nonetheless,what he wanted to explore a little closer is the sign that the sub shop has on its vehicle He asked if this sign was pretty or acceptable, and asked if this would be an acceptable sign for the pasta shop He said maybe from the Commission's standpomt, there are certain signs on vehicles that if done right, would be acceptable Vice-Commissioner Sims felt this could become a very subjective situation (mandible) sees Mr.T V Video everywhere (inaudible) thought it was a little bit more rustic,though innovative (inaudible) He said he looks at other signs going up, for example, at the Village Foods store which is just atrocious, and he thinks as business people, he thinks everybody would agree that this is unacceptable and detracts from businesses He said staff is dealing with the actual Code, which states "X, Y and Z". Mr McMeans said these folks are only asking for some ground to build off of, and looking at (inaudible) vehicles, and what they may have seen as Commissioners, one maybe was not acceptable because of the quality, and maybe one is acceptable because of its quality, and if that is the case, maybe something can be written m to that extent. SHARON HOCKNEY 11825 TERRACE VIEW DRIVE G.T. Ms. Hockney said she is a newcomer to Grand Terrace and she is an impartial observer to all this, but in her primary profession, she spends a lot of time looking for places,and she sees a double standard here. She said with regard to Section 18.80.160(C)Animated Signs,because of a traffic problem, staff doesn't want to have animated signs, but there is no greater traffic risk than looking for a sign you can't see, and she spends a great deal of her time doing this at a great risk to her life because Grand Terrace's signs are off the street — they are not readily visible from the street. She said if she was 19 looking for the sub shop, if the sign was not on the truck, she would very easily get rear-ended, because the Stater Bros truck flying down to the warehouse doesn't care that she is looking for an address or sign, so staff has a double standard, they don't want to have problems with traffic because of animated signs, but it is alnght to have them where they can't be seen from the street. She said as a newcomer to Grand Terrace, she is also interested in a business that is currently in Grand Terrace, but with the ordinance here, she would not be interested in buying a business in Grand Terrace, because the business she is interested m is not visible from the street, and she spends half of her working hours at that business trying to tell people how to find them, and they are a little luckier because they are m the Stater Bros. Shopping Center She said these other people are not so lucky as they don't have Stater Bros as a marker to locate them. She stated that she works with 911, and when a screen displays, they have an address, and Grand Terrace's addresses are not that visible let alone their business names She said along with the address they have displayed, they have a business name and a notification that it is either a residence or a business, and the seconds that are lost looking for these stupid, beautiful monument signs could mean somebody's life or the existence of their business She said she realizes there is an image staff would like to create in Grand Terrace, and that is wonderful, but Moreno Valley had an image to create too, and now they are on the verge of bankruptcy because they don't have businesses, and this is going to happen nght here She said staff should take a lesson from history Commissioner Munson said apparently there are two individual businesses m Grand Terrace and the only way they seem to have been able to attract customers is to put up a sign that can be readily seen by traffic He stated that the City does have to have codes, and what he wants to know is if it would be possible that they can come as an individual business to the Planning Director or to the Commission and tell them what they want and that this is the only successful way they can attract business so they can be given a Conditional Permit on a sign and let them run with it for a while, but give them guidelines on size and that the sign be tastefully done and bring it back to the Commission for consideration. He said vehicle signs may have their place— they may not like 'Lem, but they do want to keep the businesses in town, so rather than say a sign is illegal and they aren't going to allow it, he thinks this is wrong. He thinks the business owner should be allowed to bring in the sign they want, let them look at it and it will be considered. He said he didn't want to see them legalized so that everyone can automatically go up and down the street and put signs on top of trucks — he doesn't want that. He stated that there might be a reason that some of these signs should be allowed. 20 Commissioner Van Gelder said she has seen the pink sign on the truck many times as she drives Barton Road a lot and she drives the speed limit, and she hasn't yet been able to drive past it and read all of the sign as there is so much on there. She said she would rather it not be there too, but we have to do the best we can with what we have. She said signs in every community have been an ongoing problem for 100 years, the business community has always wanted a lot of signs and the cities have always tried to put some structure with having those signs, so this is not anything new. She said this community as well as other communities have been struggling with this for a lot of years, and not to many times are we ever able to make everybody t' happy. She said she has more of a problem with signs in the windows than anything else, and she thinks they will be addressing this very soon, but they have to make sure that these can be read by people who are driving by, and she doesn't think they are really accomplishing much by doing it if people can't even read it. BRUCE CASH v 21496 MAIN STREET G.T. Mr. Cash said he had hoped to wait until the end of this to make his comments, but the hour is getting late and he is afraid that the damage he might suffer with his spouse is greater than getting the comments m now. He stated that he is also Executive Vice President of Hood Communications, which happens to be the largest employer m the City of Grand Terrace. He said he is understanding now after hearing from some busmesses tonight that being the largest employer is not a real difficult task these days in terms of the number of busmesses in our community, but nevertheless, they are the largest employer and they are very proud of it and are happy to be here. He said as Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, his comments are particularly framed around that issue He said the Chamber of Commerce considers their involvement in this Sign Ordinance issue a privilege, and they are delighted that they were able to come together and work with the staff and talk about issues that rep.:sent the business community overall. He said there is no doubt that there would have been many opportunities for other businesses to be here tonight and probably would have been except that they understood and new that the Chamber had been working on their behalf as they should be, and he appreciates the comments that the independent business owners have made, and while they are very specific'to their needs, he can appreciate the Commissioner's comments about how those get accomplished between that business owner and a staff member in-the latitude of the ordinances in place or that might be in place in the future. He said in terms of the overall business climate, the Chamber is interested in encouraging businesses and helping them succeed in 21 Grand Terrace He stated that they have a passion for that and are working hard at that, and in cooperation with the City and bodies like this, they can be successful, but it is going to take all of them working together. He said they recognize the partnership they have with the City and the business community, and they are working tirelessly for a positive result, and it is gomg to require all of them to become innovative m a very vicious and uncertain economic time He said their business has suffered a great consequence as a result of the economy and it's having an impact even on a company their size, and he can imagine how issues that are locally controlled can have an impact on much smaller businesses as well He said this causes us to look to flexibility and to be cognizant of the fact that this is not the mid 80's -- this is the mid 90's, and the rules are different and our flexibility needs to follow that. He said they believe there needs to be flexibility and regulation while yet maintaining standards for positive planning and development and mcludmg the Signage Ordinance He said the Chamber of Commerce embraces the fundamental principles which Patrizia talked about earlier tonight, yet they recognize that businesses don't survive on key principles — they survive on getting things done, so they would like to see this entire effort move forward, and he appreciates the time line that has been established to do this He said the Chamber of Commerce's input in the Sign Ordinance is mtended to address all of the City, not any specific geographical area. He said they are mterested m having a positive impact on every aspect of the City and the businesses that are here. He stated that the Chamber recognizes, as does the City,that appropriate and visible advertisement can be the difference between success or failure for some businesses He stated that his business will not succeed or fail because of the sign that is in front of their business, as that is not the type of entity they are, and it is very different from the ones they've heard about tonight,yet overall, advertisement is essential for most of the retail busmesses in this community He expressed their desire to promote commerce, enhancement customer base and improve visibility and yet to do so in a manner which is consistent with sound planning principles,yet we must be creative, expeditious and concerned far greater than we have been in the past. He said as a Chamber, they have put unique frameworks together to identify and focus on what the solutions are to the problems businesses in this community have and not just dwell on the problem, but look for real solutions. He said they even have material about that,where they look at the business and offer them solutions to their specific problem. He said he believes the Planning Commission is in the same mmdset tomght. He stated they believe the timing is critical in this regard, and that an increase in commercial and retail vacancies in our City robs us of the full-service provision that we need to make our citizens and create economic imbalance for those surviving businesses who are left to support our community through their limited sales tax revenues. He said in a sense, he thinks we need to lighten up, maybe literally, as some have talked about the need to illuminate 22 aspects of our City tonight, but in terms of regulation, there are new opportunities, and we have got to come up with ways in order to succeed He said he is concerned,representing the largest business in this community with the highest number of employees, that he is in a business and community where the balance of businesses are evacuating He stated he is concerned when he sees a vacant building, and he is concerned when he doesn't have quick answers to these kinds of problems, and so it is not only affecting the busmesses that can't survive,it is questioning the businesses that are currently still here and having an impact on their decision of whether to stay or to go. He said their visibility, their advertisement success and so forth has a big factor and a big play in all of that. He said it is time for all of us, the Chamber included,to join together,and they have thoroughly enjoyed working this intimately with the Planning staff and the City Manager and now with this distinguished body to try and create a solution to what the problems are He said he is delighted when he hears Commissioners talking about specific needs and how they can create a solution and give the Planning Director the flexibility that she needs. He said his hat is off to her for the difficulty that she encounters,yet he thinks at time,we as a City have taken on more so the role of the enforcer than the promoter of business and commerce, and he thinks we need to strive for balance He said we need to work together m a sincere community effort and be creative regarding ways we can help our businesses starting right now He said they as a Chamber of Commerce ask that, through the Commission's consideration of these provisions tonight, not just as a Planning Commissioner but as an investor in the community. He said Hood Communications is an investor and every member of the Chamber of Commerce is an investor in the community that they give full consideration to those items that they have before them. He said he thinks even in the item that they are up to now, Item 2D, with regard to Portable Signs, yes, overall as a Chamber, they embrace the concept and the overall package they have before them, but they would not be sad at all if they saw sections like the Portable Sign issue and so forth given extraordinary consideration,just from a personal note, not as part of the Chamber at all, bit in his perspective, if he had the choice between a vehicle sitting on the street with a sign pasted on the back of it and an A frame sign sitting in the public right-of-way, he would elect to go with the A frame sign, and yet this is prohibited under the current Code and even under the recommendations of the City staff, so he reiterated the fact, even from a personal note, that they should drive for flexibility and look for ways to succeed. He said as the largest employer in the community, they are very concerned, they want to know that this Commission hears these issues, they want to know that there is a diligence with regard to addressing them, and he applauds the City staff and the Chamber of Commerce and this body for being interested in working together for a positive solution. 23 Chairman Buchanan said he had some general comments, but at this point, they should go through the more specific items. He said 2D is the issue of portable signs, and asked if anyone had any specific comments Vice-Chairman Sims said (inaudible). The Community Development Director said not on the sidewalk. She said she has tried that several times, but there is a tremendous habihty, and nobody wants to pay for it, basically, so the only thing she could get through was the real estate signs for companies when the property owner allows them, as the property owner is still responsible to maintam the parkway, which belongs to the City, so the City is assuming that liability, but not for anybody else Vice-Chairman Sims said (inaudible) The Community Development Director said what they are proposing is that the A frame signs be allowed, similarly to the banners, anyplace on the property, but not on the public right-of-way She said a busmess could have a banner, a truck on the parking lot like Mr T V Video, a menu sign on the grass, a table outside with inventory on the valance,window sign— they could have all of those signs at the same time Commissioner Munson asked if there was any one particular section that has not been discussed that they wished to discuss He said he thought staff has done a very good job in explaining all of this, so he sees no reason to go through each one unless there is something in there that the people want to discuss He said he thinks they can close this issue tonight and bring it back as staff has requested with the public hearing, and then at that time, they could go through these if necessary to put them into the code in a proper manner. Chairman Buchanan said he thinks a lot of people had an opportunity to get their statements on the record when they were discussing the vehicles signs, so maybe rather than continue to go through on an item-by-item basis, he asked if there was anyone in the audience as well as staff and the Commission who would like to add any more to this discussion at this point m time to do so now. Vice-Chairman Sims said he thinks that all these thin&s are nice, but they need a platform to operate from (inaudible). He said they don't have a village (atmosphere) on Barton Road yet, and it will take a lot of years, but this body had a vision, and maybe that vision doesn't (inaudible) for those people who have to grow with it, but it is still a vision, and he felt they have 24 to have that futuristic vision, or it will end up a strip commercial development He said maybe it helps the individual business owner, but it doesn't help the community as a whole He said he also has a problem with setting rules that can't be enforced He said the Chamber of Commerce has to be the connection point for the City (inaudible) Commissioner Wilson said he thinks he's been around long enough to see a good sign situation and a bad sign situation, and he thinks they all know what those things are He said when they start considering signs and advertising, they also realize business has a lot to do with marketing, but he thinks it is a valid pomt that when someone puts a big, red sign someplace, the next guy also wants to put up a big, red sign, and after a while you get a whole town with big, red signs, and nobody can see the big, red sign anymore He said he thinks what they are talking about here is community support and creative uses, and he thinks what they have now, which they probably didn't have before but what is actually proposed now is the opportunity for creative uses, and what they have to do as a community and as businesses in the community is open our minds a little bit towards those creative uses He said granted, they have some signs that are considered off-site signs that are illegal and may be transportable in a truck or may be off-site signs fixed someplace, but it would seem to him that there has been some discussion that there might be certain areas in the town, not in the public right-of-way, because they understand what the liability is, that could be worked on so far as what the Chamber and the City could identify as areas that won't distract from the community but will also benefit the businesses, and it would seem to hun that they could combine that He said an off-site sign program could be appropriate and contribute to the community as well as the busmesses, and maybe even operate a program where the City of Grand Terrace is an"action town of unique solutions",where they take the horse by the reins and pinpoint these areas and possibly even get the community behind this kind of thing, where the City of Grand Terrace supports a particular business for the month He said there are some areas near the entrance of the freeway where it would be appropriate to almost have a monument kind of situation, where the City of Grand Terrace would basically be honoring these businesses and promoting them, because the City recognizes that America is made of small businesses He said it would seem to hun that creativity is called for, and he thinks this opens up an opportunity for business and community to work together for some creative solutions. He recommended to staff that they take this document and keep an open mmd and work toward these creative solutions He said this is flexible,workable government, and sometimes they get caught up with, 'Tell me what Pm supposed to do, and I'll just do it", and on the other end of it, we say, "I need some flexibility here",you can't have both, so they have to work creatively toward something that can be accomplished as a community, so that is his recommendation. 25 Commissioner Addington said he sits on both sides of the table- he is a Planning Commissioner but he is also a sole proprietor and owns an engineering business in town. He said his business does not depend upon the signage (inaudible), and his business is struggling to survive, and he can understand the businesses in town doing what they need to do to survive He said he doesn't necessarily agree with the signs they have put up, but he does understand why they are putting those signs up. He said he doesn't see this as being a simple issue to resolve, but he does think the community will be able to resolve this issue (inaudible). Commissioner Van Gelder said she thinks the City has addressed some of the issues that are important and thinks they can continue to do this, and they do have some problems, but she considers the City as very fortunate when she looks at some of the surrounding towns. She said if you drive down Baseline or Sierra Way in Fontana, they are incredible, and so in many ways, they are ahead of the game She said she cut one article out of the newspaper from Letters to the Editor from October 25, which reads, "In response to the October 18 article about Baseline businesses being riled about receiving notices about their accumulated temporary window signs,there is another side to this story When I drive up to a small business, in particular, a small convenience store that has its front windows covered in paper, hand painted signs or merchandise, I refuse to go in. I do not know if there is a hold up in progress or any other dangerous condition inside. I move on, and shop where I can at least get a clear view of the cashier's area" She said these are also issues that need to be addressed, but she has every confidence they can do it. Chairman Buchanan said the comment has been made several times that this is the age old struggle -- businesses' desires for what they consider adequate, necessary and appropriate signage vs the regulating authorities' desires to have some sort of order and aesthetics placed on the system. He said it is particularly heightened right now because the community is in a transitional phase, at least that is the plan the community has set for itself, to transition from the strip center orientation to the pedestrian oriented, village feel and there isn't anybody in this town that is going to sit there and tell everyone this has happened,because it hasn't happened. He said if they keep building strip centers and treating strip centers like strip centers, it will never happen, and that is the reason for the Barton Road Specific Plan, to start this City in the direction that the City has decided to go, and he is not saying everybody in the City agrees with that. He said there are a lot of people that don't want the Barton Road Specific Plan, but that is what the elected officials of the City concluded with a lot of public input, and that is the operating scheme that they are operating under here. He said the City is m transition and the economy is in transition — at least he hope it is a transition and that the 26 a pendulum has started to swing back up and everybody is going to start doing better because he is in business, too, and he knows what it has been like He said this is a particularly rough period for small business owners and for consumers, and it is a very difficult period of time to enforce restrictions on businesses that, in good times, nobody would think twice about He said he thought Commissioner Wilson was exactly right on the money when he said this is the type of situation that calls for creative and innovative thought solutions, not just because the economy is the way it is, but because the City is also in a transitional phase, and you can't let development lock the community into a path that is different than the path the community has elected to go He said on the same token,you have to have a community left to walk that path in the future — you can't drive everybody out of business He said he doesn't believe for a minute that Grand Terrace is a difficult community to do business in, as he has dealt with communities that are difficult to do business in, and this is not one He said there are aspects of this community that make it difficult for a lot of retail businesses, stating the fact that they have one significant street that goes through the community and a lot of people on that street are not driving through Grand Terrace looking for a place to stop —they are just going through the community, and it makes it very difficult to draw that traffic in. He said he thinks the people that live in Grand Terrace tend to be very supportive of the community and the community businesses He said the last thing he wants to see is Barton Road lined with vehicles with signs mounted on top, on the other hand, the other thing he doesn't want to see are a lot of vacant store fronts He said what they really have are situations where, and a lot of this comes down to the philosophy of planning and the role of the City in the planning process, most people don't want a City government or any kind of government to say, "No, sorry, we already have too many of those kinds of businesses — you're not welcome in our community", or, "No, we don't like the building that you are planning on putting up, do it our way or not at all" He said most developers want the City off their back, and there has to be a compromise m that, and they have done that, and what he has heard tonight is a developer came in and put in fairly attractive complex on the corner of Barton and Canal He said it is a nice looking set of buildings, and the Commission was very pleased with it when it came through for Site and Architectural Review, and .t was onented m a way that started that whole Barton Road process — structured in a way that other development can dove tail into it and expand mto something. He said now what we are hearing is that the developer built that m such a way that it is not good for retail because you can't see it, and the monument sign that the developer chose to place out there wasn't well- conceived,because it is too hard to see,and business owners have moved into that and now they are in a sense turning to the City and saying, "We need your help to get people in here because this is a bad situation". He said he wants to see the businesses succeed and he believes that the City has a role 27 in developing business and helping community development, and that is part of Patrizia's title — Community Development Director He said that on the other hand, he doesn't think it is fair to say that the City is somehow responsible for a busmess' failure if the business isn't working because of the location that the business owner chose or the way that the developer onented the building away from visibility or put up the monument sign. He stated it is a fine line to walk; most people he talks to don't want to see more government involvement in their business, on the other hand, there must be a level playing field for all the businesses in the community, and he doesn't think any business owner would want there to be a "free for all" in terms of signage, if they really thought about it. He said as Commissioner Wilson noted, the first business puts up the bright red sign and their business jumps 50%, then the guy up the street is going to say that was a great idea and his is going to go up, and every business in between is going to say, "My business is no longer visible", or, "My little, nicely designed sign can't be seen anymore --I've got to compete" He stressed that they don't want to see sign wars, and that is one of the things that the regulations have to do is prevent inappropriate sign wars from taking place He said he doesn't have an answer to this question, and with regard to when he was talking about traffic reduction earlier, he doesn't have an answer to that either, but he is encouraged by the steps they are taking, and the sense he is getting is maybe they ought to look at developing some aspect of the Sign Ordinance, that it provides for a flexibility mechanism—some sort of creative concept where the Qty's goals and concepts are the guidelines and businesses have an opportunity to present their own sign specific plan that would supersede the otherwise rigid requirements of the sign code He said maybe this is a good idea or maybe not, as he knows how much additional work this could create for staff, but he thinks this kind of concept of flexibility and the ability to examine under particular circumstances might create something that they could use as a springboard for achieving some unique results He said the problem with ordinances is they tend to restrict creativity, and he would like to see a creativity option built into the ordinance, and on the other hand, it is nice to have the ordinance because then (business owners) know what they can do, they know what is prohibited, they know what is acceptable, and they can go in and get their permit over the counter and go ahead with what is permissible He said if what is permissible under the guidelines isn't going to work for someone's business and there is a particular reason for that,and they feel they can actually help the City achieve its goals by deviating from the black and white, perhaps they can have an opportunity to present that, and maybe the Sign Ordinance currently already has that built into it, but if it does, nobody seems really sure how to go about doing that, so perhaps they can beef that up a little bit. { 28 { , ^ r The Community Development Director said there is a portion of Sign Ordinance that says if a sign is not strictly in conformance, the Planning Commission has the discretionary power to alter and approve the sign, however,this has never been used for the prohibited section,because basically a prohibited sign is a prohibited sign. She said with this proposal, they are putting some exceptions to the prohibited sign section and bringing some of those signs to be discretionanly approved, so what they are proposing for vehicle signs is to develop design guidelines that will help staff to see what kind of vehicle signs are approvable or not, and if the applicant does not agree with staff recommendations, they will come to the Planning Commission, so they can use the flexibility that they already have in the ordinance. She said the only problem she sees is that staff and the Chamber group that reviewed this agree that painted vehicle signs are acceptable, and maybe the Commission feels they should go one step further Chairman Buchanan said he doesn't think it is that simple, as he himself would not want to see vehicle-mounted signs, and he is not speaking for any of the other six Commissioners, but he knows he doesn't want to see them, and the people that addressed that issue have said they have found them effective for their particular circumstance, but if there is something else that would work, they are willing to try that, too, and what he is hoping is that somehow other things can be identified, because roof-mounted signs are very bad, and he thinks vehicle-mounted signs, especially on the roofs of vehicles, are very bad He said sidewalk signs, signs on the park strips — those kinds of things can become a disaster for Barton Road in particular from an aesthetic standpoint, and once you open the door to those things, they proliferate. The Community Development Director said one of their principles initially was that these types of signs are symbols of poor commercial areas, and that is why they are trying to separate themselves from it She said one alternative they have given,which is not very creative,per request of the Chamber, is the portable signs that were prohibited She said right now, under certain circumstances, they are not prohibited anymore according to this proposal,so if someone wants to have a truck sign maybe they can install an A frame sign as an alternative. She said she is not sure they should revise the ordinance to address specific circumstances of this business or that business; she thinks they need to revise the ordinance in order to have a bottom line by eliminating the prohibitiveness of these types of signs, like the portable signs and the vehicle painted signs. She said she thinks they are opening up that discretionary area under this section for the Planning Commission and staff to review, and it does not yet address some of the major businesses that actually produced all these reviews. She said the major reason this whole thing is here has not been resolved unless those businesses agree to use the 29 portable or painted signs or the City decides to help business and go into the business of advertising She said some cities have an economic development department, and all they do is sell the City, but we do not have one, and she has tried several tunes to create that kind of environment, and it is very difficult here because the image of the City is not something that everybody is very interested in right now, but m the future, she is sure that is going to be one of the ways the cities are going to help the businesses She said she doesn't know if it will be possible in a fast way, but she thinks the City is much closer than it was with the current Sign Ordinance, but she still doesn't see how they can have a Sign Ordinance that would satisfy the two businesses. She said she doesn't see how they can alter the Sign Ordinance just to satisfy those businesses or create a special flexibility Just for those businesses She said she believes that in the Potomac Center, if the monument sign is revised since it is not efficient, if they have banners and A frame signs and umbrellas on the outside and their own vehicle painted, she thinks they will have all the advertising they would need. She said in terms of the industrial area, if the sign is a painted vehicle instead, she thinks it would do the job, and it doesn't have to be painted on the side — it can be painted on the back on the glass, she doesn't know exactly where, as they have to develop guidelines Vice-Chairman Sims said (inaudible), stating it is just like the Village Store at the corner of Barton Road and Mt. Vernon. He said they are trying to achieve a certain advertising (inaudible) and they have put out the poorest quality He said he didn't have a problem with what they are trying to achieve, but the way they are going about it is not conducive (inaudible) He said if we can give them some guidelines, and tell them what can be allowed temporarily (inaudible). He said he is waiting for the signs on that store to climb up to the top of the roof with spray cans and stencils, because that is the next step — they are almost there He said it is not designed for that type of thing being right at the corner. Chairman Buchanan said the Commission was assured by the applicant that it was not a convenience-type business when it was approved. Vice-Chairman Sims said he knows they can't enforce anything on them right now, but if they can offer these people flexibility in different ways to achieve what they want in a more tasteful and aesthetically pleasing way, it would be strongly recommended. The Community Development Director said this is the difficult part,because when she thought about developing design guidelines, she thought about railing a sign company to find out techniques of painting signs on vehicles — mostly they do it for delivery vehicles. She said a lot of trucks have them, the freight trucks that go nationally from the east coast to the west coast— there 30 .� y ry are a lot of painted vehicles everywhere, so there are a lot of techniques, so she is going to develop those types of guidelines She said to develop guidelines for signs attached to trucks, in her opinion, it would be an enormous task, because of what she had seen on Barton Road after the sign inventory. There was a banner put on top of a pick-up truck with two 2 X 4's, and it was attached to a truck, and some of them are well done and some of them are not well done, but she thinks it is very difficult to have guidelines for that. She said maybe they could allow them on a temporary basis without any guidelines,but she thinks it is very difficult to develop guidelines for those types of signs, stating she has never seen it. She said this is not common in sign ordinances, and the City's Sign Ordinance is one of the most flexible that she has ever seen m her Planning career, and she has never seen a Sign Ordinance that says prohibited signs may vary from the ordinance if the Planning Commission decides so She said the Planning Director has some discretionary power, and when the business requests, they revise things, and they have done several resolutions in response to businesses because they want this change or that change She said this is one more time staff 1S trying to respond to businesses, but there is a limit to developing guidelines She said she has never seen it and does not know exactly what the parameters could possibly be. She said there would be signs attached to the truck—some of them of better materials, some of worse materials, but they are still a symbol of those areas that are not so good. She said a monument sign is a symbol Just as a sign on top of a truck is a symbol She said she has never seen a truck sign so well done, but it could be possible She stated she doesn't know how else to be creative in terms of signs attached to trucks, how they can do it differently, but this will take time, it is not that she is not favorable to it She said all rules have exceptions, and maybe that could have an exception for these two businesses Inaudible conversation from audience JOIN ELIOT, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF CHAMBER OF COMMERCE 22790 RAVEN WAY G.T. Mr. Eliot said as the Executive Vice President of the Chamber, he has probably talked to more businesses than anybody else here. He said he is really happy to see the interchange between everyone here,and he thinks they are all coming from the same place — they want a great city, they want businesses to prosper, and they want this to be a first class place to live. He stated that one thing he thinks the Commissioners might consider is in the past, they have had situations where developers have created these shopping centers and in some cases have created the problem they are trying to deal with. He said many of the City's shopping centers go back and deep away 31 from the street, they have very low visibility for those that are in there, and that creates the problem they are trying to overcome there He said the businesses that are in those centers don't have a way of being seen, and that was in the creation of them and done probably by people that preceded everyone here He said at this time, they are trying to find solutions to keepmg businesses alive, and the interchange here and things that have been said are all on the right track. He said this is a difficult problem, and Patrizia and the City staff have been extremely cooperative with the Chamber and the people that have come in and they are on a daily basis cooperating with the Chamber on business problems and obviously everyone here today is interested in doing the same thing He said this kind of cooperation is the kind of thing he thinks will help them to overcome these problems, and some of the problems they are trying to overcome came from plans and goals that people set before the City, and maybe they didn't understand or couldn't tell what the results of their actions would do, and the businesses that are now taking and using those step centers have a problem in getting trade in there so they can stay alive, and it would be to everyone's benefit if they do, as everyone as property owners and business owners suffer when any business loses out in the town. He said they are all on the same track, and asked everyone to kindly take a look as driving through the City, and he thinks everyone will see the buildings as built create a situation that the businesses are asking for some relief from. He said he doesn't have the specific answer, stating they tried to look at the portable sign portion of the code and pull it out of the prohibited sign area and get some alternatives, stating this may be an answer and it may not, that this is what that section was for and what the Chamber initially suggested. He said nobody he knows of likes trucks on the street, and nobody wants to see a (bunch) of signs like Hollywood or any of these other strip centers, but that is not what (the business owners) are asking for -- they are asking for some reasonable answer that gives them the opportunity to let the people know they are there. The Community Development Director said at the next meeting, staff will bring final proposals to the Commission, and the public hearing has already been noticed and there is a schedule to gc to the City Council as well, so ideally, it seems to her that this issue of the truck signs is the issue that is standing, and everything else seems to be acceptable, although she stated she doesn't know if the Planning Commission has any other issues with the other items that staff proposed, for example the monument signs which have been significantly increased. She said there are a lot of changes, and she doesn't know if they realize that, and there is more flexibility and larger signs. She said if the vehicle section is the only one she will need to focus on, she would like to know. 32 Commissioner Van Gelder asked how the Chamber of Commerce felt about the provisions for window signs The Community Development Director said their original request was to eliminate the policy, as they thought it was a regulation or rule that required window signs to be ordered on the top and lower portions of the window, but this is not a rule, staff does not send Notices of Violation because people put window signs up in an unorderly basis — staff only sends notices when there is more than 25% of the window area covered She said it is just staff policy that when people ask how they should put signs on the windows, staff tells them to put it in such a way that the police have surveillance capacity to the store, for example on the bottom or top, so the center portion will allow seeing the cashier She said the Chamber didn't really have any problems because it is not really a regulation right now, so there is not really a violation if the people don't organize the window signs that way She said the issue of 25% of the window area was not discussed n Commissioner Van Gelder said, for instance, on the Beer and Wme Deli at the corner of Mt Vernon and Barton Road, they probably don't cover more than 25% of the windows either, but it looks awful The Community Development Director said window signs are not on the prohibited section of the sign ordinance, so they were not necessarily addressed directly, and they were satisfied with the summary provided on the brochure, so there was no discussion really on window signs She said window signs can be enforced with stronger support -- if staff has more support from the community and City Council, they would be able to enforce the window signs and make sure they have the right amounts and aren't on the walls Commissioner Van Gelder said she wanted to ask the Chamber a question, stating that in every business, there are firms that do consulting and surveys, and she asked if m the business community, if there was a company that would do surveys or consulting to try to show what signs in the window do to enhance businesses She said she attacks this from a personal standpoint, and she is not apulogizmg for that,but she does not read signs in the windows and she never does, and she would like to go down to Staters and stand in front of their store, and when people go m ask them if they read the sign on the window before they went in. Commissioner Addmgton said in this day and age, you can get a consultant for just about anything you want. Commissioner Van Gelder asked if a company would do a survey or study on whether those window signs really do enhance businesses or not — do people 33 go in stores because they read a sign on the window" Commissioner Addington said he is sure there is a marketing company out there that would be happy to provide that survey for her (Inaudible.) Commissioner Van Gelder said she is not saying this City per se, just in general. Commissioner Addington said this is not in his purview of expertise, a he is a civil engineer. Commissioner Van Gelder said she is speaking to him as a business merchant. Commissioner Addington said this is out of his area of expertise, as they are retail and they depend on walk-in traffic, and what they need to do to bring in that walk-in traffic into their business Commissioner Van Gelder said she wants someone to show her that this really does enhance business The Community Development Director said the data she has from sign experts is the more signs there are in the windows, the more it starts functioning as wallpaper and the more cluttered it becomes Efficiency is lost Inaudible conversation. The Community Development Director said it depends upon how much competition you have. Commissioner Van Gelder said particularly when you are driving The Community Development Director said mainly, when they have explicit materials and everything else like ours have right now Commissioner Huss said she doesn't own a business and doesn't have these problems that other people have, but as she read further, it looked like there were some things that were giving them some alternative solutions, whereas she feels like all they want are those vehicle signs and they are going to stop nght there and not read any further. She said she knows this is an economic time, but she doesn't feel like the City of Grand Terrace is responsible, and it seems hard for her too that if they say they are on the corner of(`anal and Barton Road, somebody couldn't find them. She said it seems that if they give directions and say they are on the corner and there is a stoplight there, (someone should be able to find them). She said the business owners are 34 f saying this is what they want to do and the City is saying this is probably not gomg to be approved, they are asking the City to tell them what to do, and staff has gone further and brought some things out She said staff needs some input as to what the business owner's think would be good for them that will be acceptable She said it doesn't appear that anybody in the City that she's asked thinks the vehicle signs are attractive Chairman Buchanan said this item was for discussion and he feels they have had a good exchange The Community Development Director asked if there was any other section the Commission would like her to review or bring back, for example, monument signs, asking if anyone had any problems with what was proposed Commissioner Huss said maybe the monument sign at Canal and Barton Road is to close to the street light, asking if it should be closer to the building on the other side The Community Development Director said the problem with that monument sign is that the colors are not contrasting, and they have wood siding so it makes the letters narrower Commissioner Huss asked if they could change the color The Community Development Director said, according to the tenants, right now they can not afford to alter it, however, yes, it would be allowed. Commissioner Huss asked how expensive it would be to get some paint and change the colors Mr. Benson said this complex has been lost to a bank and is now being run by a management firm — it is not the people who originally had it because they lost the amount of money to stay alive through this economic time. He said right now the Towne & Country Center is hanging by its fingernails, and you can probably expect to see bankruptcy on this and it go into receivership of a bank and perhaps something can be done about this by trying to allow the businesses to survive a little bit better He said if they have signs out front, like a monument sign that can't be read and the businesses aren't seen, they don't make income, they don't pay their rent or they leave the center, this winds up as a receivership going back to the bank and it is gone. He said one of the things with the hardware store was there was a new owner that is blocked out out of a receivership from a bank, and they just probably got it from a nickel-dime type of thing and they are not about to put a dollar into it. He said the business owners that are in there, unless they want to reach 35 into their own personal pockets and redo the monument sign, are really caught between a rock and a hard place The Community Development Director said she had seen a survey from Yucaipa done with merchants on how much percent of their sales depends on signs, and it was 5% according to that survey She said some surveys may show differently depending upon the type of business and the scale, the time of the year, etc She said she thinks they do need to be creative and feels they need to be open, but they also need to have their limits of quality. She said they may have something approved for the short run which would be very positive, but cumulatively,it would be very negative for the City, so they need to be careful She said they need to have creativity and flexibility but still establish a hmit of quality that they do not want to go below She said she still needs to think more about the vehicle signs, and right now she doesn't have any ideas, but she promised to work on it and possibly contact some of the businesses, stating she hoped they would contact her, too Chairman Buchanan suggested the Director take a look at the sign section that allows for deviation from strict compliance with the idea of flexibility and creative solutions in mind just to see if it is adequately written right now, and if it is, she might want to bring that more to the forefront as part of this discussion, if it is not adequately written, look at enhancing the way it is drafted and incorporate some of the general concepts into it to serve as fundamental guidelines but still have some flexibility He said he didn't hear anybody saying they ought to look at a way of keeping vehicle mounted signs The Community Development Director said she remembers how this section is worded She said it would be applicable, however, what they need to change is the way they are proposing to amend the ordinance, because what she is removing from the prohibited section would be automatically subject to that flexibility, but right now she is only removing from the prohibited {' section painted vehicle signs and the portable signs, but she is not removing anything else. She said right, anything that is not a professionally painted sign is still in the prohibited section according to these guidelines, it is not subject to that flexibility Chairman Buchanan said maybe the question she needs to ask is whether or not the flexibility portion of the ordinance should have enough flexibility to permit, on some basis, an otherwise prohibited sign. The Community Development Director said this is what they do not have right now, and there are no variances considered for the prohibited section. 36 e Commissioner Wilson volunteered whatever time he could contribute perhaps on a weekend or evening where they could work with representatives of the Chamber of Commerce and maybe drive a few areas and try to find some of those creative uses so they can help staff have something He recommended they do this within the next two weeks Chairman Buchanan ended the discussion on Item 3 at this time, stating it would be an item for public testimony and action at the next meeting 9:45 P.M.

RECOMMENDATION Recommend approval to the City Council **************************************************************** ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This project (Z-93-04) is categorically exempt per CEQA section 15308 BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION The Planning Department is submittmg for your review, an Ordinance of the Transportation Control Measure Subregional Implementation Program m accordance with the 1991 South Coast Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP), and the 1992 Federal Attainment Plan for Carbon Monoxide (CO Plan) Both these plans include TCMs for implementation by local governments Local Governments m the South Coast Air Basin are worlang together to develop a coordmated trip reduction program, called the Transportation Control Measures (TCM), Subregional Implementation Program. Through the San Bernardino Association of Governments (SANBAG), local governments have mounted a jomt effort to design a program to reduce vehicle trips and improve air quality which will have the least economic impact on our communities, and muumwe the need for regional regulation. This effort is supported by 100% of the San Bernardino Jurisdictions m the South Coast Air Basin. This support is based on the understanding that actions taken locally will have less impact on businesses and the public, and m the long term, have far greater economic and air quality benefits then regional actions that would be taken by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) if local actions do not occur. As you are aware the City Council approved a resolution of commitment on June 23, 1993 (Resolution 93-23 Part 1). That resolution was a model resolution to be adopted by all cities m the County of San Bernardino as a commitment to implement the local portion of the TCM Implementation Subregional Program. A Second Resolution is expected to be approved by the City Council on November 10th That resolution is an mtenm step, 22795 Barton Road•Grand Terrace,California 92324-5295•(909)824-6621 Attor' hmimnt 9 requested by SANBAG, to increase the visibility and understanding of the issues at hand, and to receive reasonable assurance that the policy decisions expected to occur by December 31, 1993 are on track. By December 31, 1993 the City must approve and incorporate the proposed/selected TCMs mto an enforceable mechanism, such as an ordinance Please refer to the attached ordinance which indicates all the TCM's developed m conjunction with SANBAG and other local jurisdictions The TCM's that have not been selected are indicated by a"stnkeeut" and the ones added by staff are "underlined" RELATED CITY PROGRAMS/ADDITIONAL TCMs The City of Grand Terrace has been working on a number of programs that will meet the goals of the South Coast Air Quality Management Plan. The first, is an Education Program, which includes a quarterly air quality publication called "A Clear View" This publication educates residents on the importance of ndesharing and other alternatives to driving alone An education program is important because, the City may not be able to realistically meet its trip reduction goals due to the large amount of development that would need to occur for the success of recommended TCM's and the fact that we do not have large employers. This pomt justifies the importance of an educational program in the City which will address existing conditions The second program the City is working on, is the installation of bike lanes on the currently used routes in the City These bike lanes would be located at the south western portion of - the City along Main Street, and connect to Mt Vernon which would connect to the north east portion of Barton Road and to Colton. The City has recently applied for ISTEA funding to construct these proposed bike lane facilities along with related street improvements and landscaping The third program the City is working on is the establishment of park and ride facilities with access to Barton Road There has recently been some interest from Caltrans to help fund this program, because studies show a need for park and ride facilities in this area. This would help reduce emissions while increasing customers for our busmesses. The fourth program staff is proposing, is a telecommutmg option for authorized City employees This program would allow City Hall employees to work at home once or twice a week via computer and facsimile, as authorized on a one by one case basis, and with approval of supervisor The City already has a subsidized computer purchase program which would facilitate this program. OUANTIFICATION OF ACTIONS It is important to mention that local jurisdictions are still in the process of trymg to meet the requirements of the 1991 Air Quality Management Plan(AQMP). At this time the 1991 AQMP is bemg reviewed and revised, and should be adopted in 1994. The 1994 Air Plan will include TCMs based on the effectiveness of the 1991 TCMs Many jurisdictions were 1 l concerned that they would not receive credit for projects approved prior to the adoption of the 1991 AQMP SANBAG has been negotiating with SCAQMD Board to allow local jurisdictions to receive credit for projects approved since 1987 To receive this credit staff conducted an mventory of trip reduction actions taken smce 1987 and present As a result the appropriate numbers were mput mto the TCM spreadsheet which indicated a total of 230 Average Daily Trips (ADT) reduced (refer to Attachment B) In July the Planning Department was requested by SANBAG to quantify the effectiveness of the TCM Core Actions that could be implemented by 1994 Core actions are those TCM's that must be adopted by all local jurisdictions The Planning Department quantified the Core Actions by using the trip generation rates located in the SCAQMD's "Handbook For Preparing A Local Government Tnp Reduction Ordinance", and entering them into a spreadsheet provided by SANBAG Before Staff could estimate the Core Action effectiveness, an estimated growth forecast for the period of December 31, 1993 to December 31, 1994 needed to be established Using SANBAG's suggestion, staff used the growth forecast from a period prior to the recession, 1989-1990 During this period 25,034 square feet of commercial, 107,059 square feet of industrial, 6,549 square feet of institutional, and 89 residential units were built With this assumption of growth for the remaining period of 1993 and 1994, the appropriate numbers were input into the TCM spreadsheet which indicated a total of 29 (ADT) that could be reduced if all Core Actions are implemented during this year (refer to Attachment B) The results were then submitted to the SCAQMD and Southern California Associated Governments (SCAG) for planning purposes All the proposed/selected TCMs actions have also been quantified to determine their effectiveness during the upcoming period of December, 1993 to December, 1999 m case they are adopted by the City Council. Using the assumption of similar growth period prior to the recession (1989-1990) a preliminary estimate of trips to be reduced by all the selected TCM's is approximately 407 ADTs. or 2,442 tnps by 1999, plus the trips to be reduced by the City sponsored programs/TCMs FUNDING Funding sources available to implement the City's programs are the Air Quality Improvement Funds received from the State Department of Motor Vehicles, and AB2766 Discretionary Fund program (see Attachment C) RECOMMENDATION A. Recommend approval to the City Council on the attached draft Transportation Control Measure Ordinance to reduce emissions and improve air quality with the least economic impact on our community m accordance with the requirements of the 1991 South Coast Air Quality Management Plan, and the 1992 Federal Attainment Plan for Carbon Monoxide.

The follow figures are estimates based on the assumption of growth activity prior to the recession(1989-1990) During that period of growth,the City of Grand Terrace experienced 25,034 square feet of commercial, 107,059 square feet of mdustnal, 6,545 square feet of institutional, and 89 units of residential construction activity To simphfy the quantification, the proposed actions have been organwed by core, recommended, discretionary, regional, and additional actions. FINDINGS If development occurs at the projected growth rate prior to the recession, the potential Vehicle Trip Reduction(VTR) the City can expect will be 407 a year, or 2,442 trips by 1999 1 (407 vtr x 6 years) In terms of projects approved after 1987 to present, and mventory revealed that the City has reduced 230 VTR (refer to the attached chart "Total Trip Reduction Actions 1987-Present") Vehicle Trip Reduction CORE ACTIONS *1 (VTR) Total 29 refer to the chart 'TCM Core Action Effectiveness for 1993-1994".

The purpose of this ordinance is to reduce vehicle trips thereby reducing air pollution and improving air quality, to comply with state law, and to promote an improved quality of life Actions m this ordinance are to be incorporated into new development so as to meet congestion management and air quality goals at a minimum cost and disruption to the citizens, businesses, and industry Positive aspects of this project include reduced noise, efficient land use and alternative modes of transportation. Noise. PThis project requires provisions for facilities that reduce the need for vehicle travel, such as bicycle route systems, sidewalks, telecommutmg centers within walking or biking distance from residential neighborhoods The project also requires provision to facilitate the use of other modes of transportation such as bus, carpool, vanpool, bicycling, and walking Reducing the need for vehicle travel and the need to drive alone will reduce the number of cars on the road and therefore reduce local noise Land Use/Transportation- This project has taken the physical layout of the City of Grand Terrace mto consideration which will support a requirement to incorporate supportive daily services that are located and conveniently accessible to pedestrians and bicyclist. Support facilities encourage modes of transportation other then the automobile,such as walking and bicycling. The project support facilities include pedestrian pathways, showers and lockers for employees m office buildings, and bicycle racks. The project also requires mixed uses which can reduce the number and/or length of vehicles trips by ensuring that supportive uses are within walking distance of one another. An example would be locating neighborhood retail services, such as food markets and a post office, within walking distance of a residential subdivision. In addition, increased densities in transit corridors can support transit and carpooling levels. Environmental Review: This project (Z-93-04) is categorically exempt per CEQA section 15308.
