5B. Chamber of Commerce "Plan"
Bill Darwin, Chamber of Commerce Economic Development
Committee Chairman, reported that his committee has
prepared a plan for economic development in the City, as
directed by Council, and felt that with team effort the
plan can succeed.
Sandy Windbigler, Chamber of Commerce, stated this plan is
not the Chamber's plan but a plan for the good of the
City. She indicated that the Chamber met with consultants
and will continue to work closely with them.
Mayor Matteson, asked if there is a time schedule of when
the projects will be completed.
Sandy Windbigler, indicated that basically the items will
be completed in the order that they are listed and that no
particular time schedules have been added so Council can
give their input as to the order of importance. She stated
that they can go back and add a time schedule and indicated
that some items may take longer than one year.
Councilmember Singley, had concern that the plan's
objectives do not show an attempt for the Chamber to become
self-sufficient.
Sandy Windbigler, indicated that it was her understanding
that this plan was for the purpose of increasing the
revenue in the City. She stated that the Chamber of
Commerce will never be completely self-sufficient because
the community has such a small business base. She
indicated that this plan will hopefully create more
businesses to bring revenue into the City.
Bill Darwin, indicated that during the next year the
Chamber plans to take a look at their budget and see what
can be done to develop more money within the Chamber.
Councilmember Pfennighausen, felt that the plan was put
together very well and indicated that she would also like
to see some timelines. She requested reports on the
progress of the plan.

THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING ASSESSMENT SURVEY
DO YOU CURRENTLY HAVE STREET LIGHTS?
PLEASE LIST YOUR ADDRESS
Dear Property Owner
Approximately six months ago, staff recommended that formation of
a Landscaping and Lighting District be considered by the City
Council Council has requested that staff prepare this survey to
determine what the citizens' desires are regarding this issue
The following is a survey to be reviewed by you, as well as
information to help in your consideration of this formation We
thank you in advance for taking the time to review this survey
and returning it to us
1 If the formation of a Landscaping and Lighting Assessment
District was approved, it would add an estimated 590 street
lights to our City
2 The cost incurred by the property owner would be for the
actual construction, installation, maintenance and operation
The per parcel cost, based on a standard (7,200 sq ft ) lot,
would be $500 00 (one-time charge) for installation, and
$25 00 per year for Maintenance and Operation (includes
energy costs) Please note that these are approximate costs.
3 For parcels that currently have street lighting to the stan-
dard required, they would only be assessed the cost of energy
and maintenance, approximately $25 00 per year
4 For parcels that do not currently have street lights, if you
elected to finance over a ten-year period, the approximate
cost would be $1,000 00 per parcel This would translate to
approximately $100 00 per year, including principal and
interest or an additional $50 00 per each tax period, one in
December and one in April
I SUPPORT THE FORMATION OF A LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING ASSESSMENT
DISTRICT.
I SUPPORT ASSUMING THE ENERGY COSTS FOR MY PARCEL.
PLEASE RETURN THIS SURVEY IN THE ENVELOPE WITH YOUR SEWER BILL

COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN
DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK
A. INTRODUCTION
The Development Framework contains all of the essential components of the Specific
Plan in the way of policy direction (goals and objectives) and serves as the foundation
for the formulation of site development regulations and design guidelines provided in
the Specific Plan
The Development Framework provides the overall concept behind the establishment of
the various land use districts indicated on the specific plan land use map (Exhibit I) In
addition, it describes the overall design concept for the area The intent of the design
concept component is to provide an overview of the basic urban design concept for the
corridor as the basis for development of the design guidelines
B OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS
As with any physical development program, especially in an existing developed area,
certain aspects of the built environment act as constraints to the achievement of desired
development goals while others offer opportunities which can be taken advantage of to
promote the types of development desired for the area
After an analysis of the existing physical conditions, the following list of opportunities
and constraints was prepared The list was developed based on the following assump-
tions and input from the Economic Development Potential Analysis (attached)

.and Use Map
IN
• Majority of parcels are fragmented and under individual ownership Many of the lots
are of a long, narrow configuration which is difficult to develop without merger with
adjoining parcels
• Conversion of single family residences to office/commercial uses constrains higher
quality development
• Image of corridor is fragmented rn terms of uses, setbacks, landscaping,
architectural style
• Existing commercial centers in adjacent cities (Colton, Loma Linda) draw local
market and its sales dollars
vt—
Development of quality commercial and office uses will be encouraged
2 incremental development of strip commercial uses on small lots will be discouraged
as will be the conversion of residential units to commercial or office uses
3 The overall physical image of the area requires upgrading in order to attract
and maintain quality development
4 Existing General Plan land use designations and zoning should remain basically
the same, but site development standards will change to achieve a higher quality
of development
5 Various incentive programs will be necessary to achieve the desired level of
quality development envisioned by the City
When combined with public policy input (goals and objectives) the opportunities and
constrains become the ingredients used in formulating the overall direction of the
Specific Plan The identified opportunities and constraints are as follows
Opportunities
• Capitalize on existing physical features and land uses that contribute to and
reinforce a feeling of low density and pedestrian scale along the corridor
• Implement a programmatic land use plan and urban design theme which establish a
"village" character and provide Grand Terrace's downtown with a "sense of place"
• Recapture retail sales leakage to surrounding communities, Including both local and
community level goods and services with an emphasis on quality
• Encourage the merger and development of small, underutilized properties along the
corridor, especially west of Canal Street and at the northwest corner of Barton Road
and Mt Vernon Avenue
• Preserve, whenever possible, significant existing trees along the corridor and
emphasize the provision of trees In new development
Constraints
• Lack of cohesiveness, land use consistency and community focal points, current
strip commercial orientation lacks concentrated activity centers Corridor lacks a
sense of place
• Lack of pedestrian areas and amenities, including plazas, courtyards, cultural or
entertainment features
• Location of existing potentially conflicting residential land uses and trailer park
• Lack of freeway- and travel -related commercial land uses, such as family
restaurants
• Lack of a consistent and continuous urban design and landscape theme Image of
pnvate developments required upgrading

C. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The purpose of this section is to articulate the Goals, Objectives, and Polices for the
Barton Road Specific Plan and begin the foundation for subsequent sections of the Plan
GOALS Broad statements that define the community's hope for the
future They are general in nature and do not indicate when
and how these goals are to be accomplished
OBJECTIVES Statements of intent that generally guide future decisions in
specific topic areas
POLICIES More specific statements of intent to deal with particular
topics in a certain fashion They begin to define the approach
to achieve the plan objectives, and are the first step in the
development of a solution by forming the basis of standards,
regulations, and specific implementation programs
OVERALL GOAL
To create a dynamic "downtown" commercial center that is attractive and of high quality,
unifying community design image, reflective of a "village" identity, and providing an
economically viable setting for a balanced mixture of commercial and administra-
tive/professional uses with safe, efficient circulation and access
In an effort to further define and prioritize this overall goal statement, the following Com-
munity Design, Land Use/Economic, Circulation, Environmental, and Infrastructure
goals, objectives, and policies are provided
COMMUNITY DESIGN
GOAL Create the community design image that expresses and
enhances a unique "village" scale, character and identity
for Grand Terrace
OBJECTIVES
• Provide a pedestnan-onented circulation system that identifies a "village" center or
downtown
• Provide an entry statement at 1-215 and Barton Road Intersection that enhances the
village orientation of the community
• Promote compatible building elevations that provide transition at, or linkages
between, commercial, and residential areas while protecting adjoining residential
neighborhoods
• Through continued implementation of the City street tree program, promote
contemporary landscape treatments throughout the corridor Landscaping should
be of a drought -tolerant, low -maintenance nature and able to withstand occasional
high winds
W
4
• Provide for the elimination or screening of visually objectionable views such as
outdoor storage, trash bins, roof -mounted equipment, blank side walls, recycling
equipment, and loading areas through the Implementation of design guidelines
POLICIES
• Develop consistent streetscape and architectural palettes that are sensitive to the
creation of a"village" statement for Barton Road (It is not the intent of this thematic
requirement to discourage innovative or contemporary architectural expressions or
to Imitate the architecture of the past, but to promote the harmonious coexistence of
architectural styles varying from restoration to contemporary architectural themes )
' Require compliance with the community design guidelines In plans for new
development or expansion or redevelopment of existing development, Incorporate
community design as a major consideration /n site plan review and approval
• Utilize landscape materials on private property that are clean, safe, wind resistant
and relatively low maintenance Landscape forms and configurations should be
utilized In the corridor to emphasize the village atmosphere and scale
• Develop an Incentive program that rewards private sector development for providing
certain "extra" design amenities within their projects Of particular interest are
passive solar techniques such as building overhangs, arcades, awnings and extra
tree plantings, especially /n parking lot areas Consideration should be given to
special paving matenals used In place of asphalt in vehicular areas at pedestrian
crossings
• Develop an economic Incentive program to expedite removal of signs that do not
conform to the requirements of this Specific Plan
• Consider economic Incentives for owners who wish to architecturally rehabilitate, or
upgrade landscaping on existing properties
Designate special on -site landscape and architectural features at the Mt
Vernon/Barton Road Intersection location, combining thematic plantings with
complementary architectural statements designed to promote a distinctive thematic
character for this activity node Changes In paving materials, plant materials,
lighting, signing, and sizing of adjacent structures should occur at this Intersection to
enhance Its distinctiveness
• Require that new development be sensitive to significant mature trees and natural
landforms, such as Blue Mountain and the hills In the northeastern portion of the
City and In the northern terrace slope
LAND USE/ECONOMIC
GOAL Develop a specific plan that is responsive to community
land use and fiscal needs
OBJECTIVES
• Maximize the economic position of the Barton Road commercial activities, capturing
neighborhood, subreglonal, as well as travel -related demand Sales tax -generating
.7 uses should be emphasized
N
• Promote distinctive commercial clusters that are sensitive to a village -scale
• Require master planning at key sites within the Specific Plan area to assure
integrated development utilizing coordinated access, parking, building
orientation/location, pedestrian and transit facilities
• Employ a mixed -use (retail/office) development concept to add vanety throughout
the commercial corridor
• Ensure the gradual upgrade of underutilized parcels fun choning at less than their
market potential
• Consolidate and reconfigure elongated parcels and improve access to lots located in
the westerly subarea of the Barton Road corridor
• Through economic development activities, focus on attracting new, high quality
commercial uses
POLICIES
• Establish regulations and provide incentive bonuses that promote pedestrian
oriented plazas and courtyards, encourage active retail commercial uses at key
intersections along Barton Road
• Prepare development regulations and guidelines that clarify the expectations of the
City in terms of quality development
• Establish regulations that assure compatibility of new commercial uses with the
"village" design concept while employing specific, well designed buffers from
adjacent residential development
• Establish an incentive/bonus program for lot consolidation along the corridor to
encourage development into planned concentrations, as opposed to a linear str1p
commercial configuration
• Establish redevelopment programs to assist business with property Improvements
• Develop incentives to encourage pnonty village oriented land uses at the Mt
Vernon/Barton Road intersection
• Encourage the development of supenor design which, In time, will create an Image
of regional magnitude for Barton Road that attracts quality-onented specialty shops
as well as additional shoppers
• Establish land uses that complement existing village orientation within the Specific
Plan area
N
CIRCULATION
GOAL Maintain circulation system that facilitates efficient, safe
vehicular and pedestrian traffic and enhances the community
design character along Barton Road
OBJECTIVES
• Limit and/or consolidate vehicular access points on Barton Road
• Develop a mixture of land uses that reduce home/work tnps within the corridor and
the City
• Provide for and phase necessary Infrastructure improvements, such as
undergroundIng utilities, and landscaping to maximize the efficiency of traffic as well
as add to the aesthetic quality of Barton Road
• Encourage use of local transit programs wherever possible and enhance use of bus
facilities
POLICIES
• Establish the placement of bus shelters and encourage bus turnouts to assist traffic
safety and efficiency
• Require pedestrian oriented amenities at key activity nodes through private
development improvements
• Reduce the number of vehicular trips between individual sites that must use Barton
Road by requiring private projects to secure Reciprocal Parking Access Agreements
prior to development Shared parking and access will facilitate efficient parcel
usage and minimize traffic support facilities such as drives, parking spaces, etc
• Discourage new developments from taking access from residential streets, by
developing internal circulation systems that direct traffic away from adjacent
neighborhoods
ENVIRONMENTAL
GOAL Maintain the highest possible environmental quality within
the Specific Plan area, by balancing the impacts of develop-
ment with environmental concerns
OBJECTIVES
• Establish regulations that preserve significant environmental features, such as
mature trees and views of local mountains within the Barton Road corridor
• Through the project approval process and the imposition of conditions or mitigation
measures, ensure that all development within the Specific Plan area will not
decrease environmental quality, and will wherever possible create a higher quality
environment
I

D. LAND USE CONCEPT
Corridor Subareas
For the purpose of presenting and discussing the land use concept, the planning area
has been divided into three subareas Each subarea is characterized by a particular
land use emphasis the different requirements related to land use and site planning The
three subareas are shown in Exhibit I
Subarea 1 is closest to the 1-215 Freeway and consists mainly of residential uses, a
school and some commercial It is an area in transition with several residential struc-
tures having been converted to commercial uses Lot consolidation and new commer-
cial development are the primary focus for Subarea 1 A prominent gateway feature is
also recommended
Subarea 2 is Grand Terrace's existing commercial core It contains primarily commer-
cial uses with some office -type uses The Stater Bros neighborhood shopping center
and the Town and Country Plaza - a mixed retail and office center - are the two most sig-
nificant developments in the area The general quality of uses and structures in this
subarea is good, however, several older structures will need to be upgraded or
replaced The main focus for Subarea 2 will be the creation of a downtown "village" at-
mosphere with an upgrading of commercial retail uses to take advantage of identified
opportunities in the community retail market Some consolidation of parcels will be re-
quired at the northwest corner of Barton Road and Mt Vernon in order for that area to
develop with the type of quality development envisioned by this Specific Plan The over-
all community design concept will emphasize the Barton Road/Mt Vernon intersection
as a dominant activity center with strong urban design features
Subarea 3 is anchored by the City Hall and consists primarily of small office uses West
of City Hall uses are predominantly residential with a mixture of single family and multi-
ple family dwellings The main emphasis for Subarea 3 will be the continued develop-
ment of office uses, but will not permit new multi -family development Opportunities
exist to consolidate some single family lots for office development
Overall Planning Concept
The primary concepts upon which preparation of the land use plan is based are 1) the
retention and upgrading of appropriate existing uses within the corridor, and 2) the ex-
pansion of opportunities for new quality development
In addition, the plan is based on the following more specific planning concepts and
ideas concerning the desired future for the Barton Road corridor
Heavier, general commercial uses and uses serving freeway motorists are
appropriate near the freeway (Subarea 1) while less intensive commercial
(specialty) retail uses are more appropriate within the "village" atmosphere
provided for in Subarea 2 Moving further away from the freeway, office uses are
provided for in Subarea 3
M
2 The Barton Road corridor functions as the City's "downtown" commercial core
As such, its' image needs to be upgraded to reflect this important role in the com-
munity
3 Strip commercial development on small disaggregated lots does not lend itself
to the image, scale, or function desired for the Barton Road corridor
4 The conversion of residential structures to commercial uses needs to be regulated
in such a way as to ensure compatibility with surrounding development and the
overall image and function of the corridor
5 The consolidation of small parcels needs to be encouraged through incentives
and mandatory regulations
Land Use Plan
The land use plan provides for three land use categories (districts) corresponding to the
three planning subareas identified earlier These are as follows
General Commercial (GC) - Subarea 1
Village Commercial (VC) - Subarea 2
Administrative and Professional Office (AP) - Subarea 3
General Commercial District
This land use district includes a wide variety of uses which typically include super-
markets, drug stores, variety stores, apparel shops, appliance and furniture stores, and
commercial recreation uses Because of its adjacency to the freeway, this district would
also permit traveler related uses such as hotels, motels, and restaurants
Village Commercial District
The Village Commercial land use district is designed to accommodate specialty uses
such as cafes, bakeries, gift shops, florist shops, book stores, and other similar commer-
cial retail uses of a scale and quality that is compatible with a pedestrian oriented vil-
lage atmosphere Other, more general -type commercial uses such as hardware, hobby,
furniture, and appliance stores are also permitted but are limited in size to under 5,000
square feet total floor area Similar uses requiring larger floor areas are more ap-
propriate in the General Commercial District (Subarea 1)
Administrative and Professional Office District
This land use district is intended to accommodate professional/administrative office
uses and personal service as opposed to commercial retail land uses Typically, uses
include medical and health care clinics, travel agencies, insurance agencies, and copy
centers Other like uses consist of executive, management, administrative, or clerical
uses including the establishment of branch offices, data processing centers and the
provision of consultation establishments of a professional nature

E COMMUNITY DESIGN CONCEPT
One of the major objectives of the Specific Plan is to enhance the special aesthetic
qualities of the Barton Road corridor and to make the area more pleasant, attractive
and functional These objectives are largely achieved through the implementation of
urban design standards and improvements The Community Design Concept estab-
lishes the parameters and overall guidelines within which the built environment of the
Barton Road corridor can achieve its desired image, character, and aesthetic quality
The Community Design Concept serves two primary functions First, it establishes the
Urban Design Plan which provides recommended improvements principally for public
1 areas within the corridor Second, this section serves as the foundation upon which the
specific development design guidelines for the corridor are developed
Overall Design Concept
The design concept for the Barton Road corridor is intended to address the following
needs
Create a unifying physical image for the corridor which establishes a "sense of
place" for Grand Terrace residents
2 Provide an aesthetically pleasing environment which draws people to the area
and will ultimately enhance property values
3 Maintain a pedestrian scale and orientation and improve pedestrian circulation
and amenities
4 Develop architectural and site planning design guidelines which reinforce a more
rural, "village" character as opposed to a more urban image
Urban Design Plan
The Urban Design Plan will be is a graphic representation of various recommended
physical design features The Plan provides an overall visual perspective of how these
improvements can shape and form the aesthetic qualities of the Barton Road corridor
Described below are the primary features of the Urban Design Plan
Textured Crosswalks and Street Intersectlons
The street intersections and crosswalks in the downtown are strategic in that they have
broad visual exposure and accommodate the circulation of both pedestrians and
motorists The Urban Design Plan recommends that crosswalks at several intersection
areas be treated with special paving The special crosswalk paving (brick or other tex-
tured material) will help to define and direct pedestrian circulation, define arrival into the
"downtown" area for motorists, and add visual interest to the streetscape The intersec-
tion of Barton Road and Mt Vernon Avenue is identified for special treatment as the
prominent activity node within the corridor
l_S
2 Gateways
Gateway elements are typically associated with prominent landforms, landscape fea-
tures, structures, or entrance monumentation signs designed to announce entrance into
a community or special district, e g the downtown Currently, these gateway features
are nonexistent within the planning area, which contributes to an overall lack of corridor
definition or identity The Urban Design Plan proposes entrance monumentation signs
at each end of the commercial corridor The entrance monuments should be placed
within the median The signs should be of simple design, use sturdy, maintenance free
materials, indirectly lighted, and placed within a landscaped base surrounded by a mini-
mum 6 inch curb
3 Traffic Signals
The Urban Design Plan recommends the installation of a new traffic signal at the inter-
section of Barton Road and Canal Street This signal will be especially important as
properties to the west, between Canal Street and Michigan Street, are developed for
commercial uses
4 Landscape Improvements
Landscape improvements within the public right-of-way along Barton Road are recom-
mended for the full length of the commercial corridor The design should be substantial-
ly the same as the landscaping installed between Canal Street and Michigan Street
The City should prepare landscape plans for the full length of the corridor and require in-
dividual property owners to install landscape improvements when development occurs
or when substantial remodeling or building additions are proposed
Special landscape improvements are proposed at the intersection of Barton Road and
Mt Vernon Avenue in conjunction with the overall improvement of this intersection as
the main activity node within the corridor Additionally, landscape plantings should be in-
corporated with the placement of monument entry signs at each end of the corridor
5 Sidewalks
As the primary carriers of pedestrian traffic, it is important for sidewalks to be both func-
tional and attractive Therefore, in keeping with one of the major objectives of the
Specific Plan to enhance the corridor as a pedestrian oriented area, the Urban Design
Plan recommends the incorporation of special paving materials into sidewalks when-
ever feasible The intersections of Barton Road and Mt Vernon Avenue should receive
special sidewalk treatments in order to emphasize this area as a key activity node
6 Views
View opportunities of the local hills, especially Blue Mountain, exist all along the Barton
Road corridor It is important that these opportunities be recognized and enhanced
within the overall urban design scheme Both public and private developments must be
designed to preserve and protect significant view opportunities
�4.
Design Guidelines
The second purpose of the Community Design Concept is to lay the foundation for the
development of Design Guidelines which are a significant part of the Specific Plan
The Urban Design Guidelines are composed of written statements and graphics which
articulate the City's basic design philosophy for the Barton Road corridor importantly,
the Design Guidelines establish the goals and concepts for good design and provide
the framework for the City's design review process A major emphasis of the guidelines
will be on the architectural form and detail of buildings The design of open spaces,
parking areas, and signs are also addressed Each project within the Specific Plan
area is expected to satisfy these guidelines
The Design Guidelines have been established to implement the following overall design
principles
Pedestnan Onentation
Achieve a low -profile "pedestrian -friendly" environment by making it possible to move
freely within each subarea from business to business in a safe, efficient manner The
visual image being sought is one of human scale, not dominated by large or high, close -
in building masses or large unbroken expanses of parking lots
2 Village Character
The overall image and design character to be achieved along the corridor is that of a
low -density "village", especially within the commercial retail area centering on the inter-
section of Barton Road and Mt Vernon Avenue and west to Canal Street (Subarea 2)
This area is designated as the "village core" and will receive the highest attention with
regard to implementation of the design criteria established by this Specific Plan
3 Development Quality
Well designed buildings, open spaces, and the use of appropriate materials reflect the
quality and values of a community, enhance the visual character of the corridor and in-
crease building and property values The Design Guidelines will encourage design ex-
cellence and the use of high quality materials throughout the Specific Plan area

MEMORANDUM
To Mr David Sawyer
Community Development Director
City of Grand Terrace
From Shant Agajanian, Principal
Re Barton Road Commercial Development Potential
Date September 20, 1989
This brief memorandum summarizes our findings of the commercial development potential for
the Barton Road Commercial Corridor Specific Plan The findings from this memorandum are
intended to provide a realistic evaluation of the commercial development potential to help guide
the formulation of the Specific Plan
An evaluation of commercial potential was conducted based upon field reconnaissance,
interviews and discussions with City and development professionals, review of relevant
demographic and economic information, and an assessment of development opportunities and
constraints within the corridor A summary of the significant findings are presented in this memo
in three sections The first section presents a background to the corridor and its current
conditions which affect the corridor's development potential The second section presents the
commercial development opportunities and constraints for the corridor Finally, the third section
evaluates the commercial development potential for the corridor
BACKGROUND
The subject site is a mixed use corridor serving as the central commercial node for the City of
Grand Terrace, California The site covers the length of Barton Road from the interchange with
I-215 to Preston, a distance of about one mile (see Map 1 of the study area) The roadway is
a 4 lane arterial providing the dominant point of access to the I-215 freeway for residents of
Grand Terrace as well as an important point of access to residents located in southwestern
Colton and eastern Loma Linda Thus, the roadway serves both local residents and commuter
through traffic to adjacent urbanized areas to the east of I-215 and south of I-10
The corridor has distinct land use subareas Small highway related commercial uses are located

at the I-215 interchange In addition, there is an elementary school site adjacent to the I-215
interchange Older residential uses are located between Michigan Street and Canal Street The
commercial node is located between Canal Street and Aruss Drive and centered upon the
Barton Road and Mt Vernon Avenue intersection The remainder of the corridor is occupied
with residential and institutional uses
The corridor is surrounded by predominantly residential land uses These residential areas are
located within the Cities of Grand Terrace, Colton, and Loma Linda and unincorporated areas
of Riverside and San Bernardino Counties These residential areas can be described in terms
of trade areas with 10, 3 0 and 5 0 mile radiuses from the Barton Road and Mt Vernon
Avenue intersection (see Map 2 of the trade areas) As indicated on Table 1, the households
located nearest to the study site have higher average household incomes, greater share of
households with incomes of $50,000 or more, fewer children, older average age, and a greater
share of executive and professional occupations

has slowed in the City since 1985 but has recently surged with the development of about 400
apartments at the Highlands and 150 units now proposed for development With the City's
residentially zoned land limited to 100 acres the City could accommodate about 400 more units
in the near and mid term future Residential growth in the surrounding Cities and
unincorporated County areas have been rapid with Colton adding 5,700 new households and
Loma Linda adding 1,600 new households since 1980 Both cities anticipate continued residential
development The County unincorporated areas are also expected to rapidly add new households
in both the near and mid term future, particularly in the Highgrove community lust south of the
City of Grand Terrace
There are competitive commercial uses near the corridor To the west of the I-215 overpass is
a newly developed small commercial center with a restaurant and small commercial
establishments To the north, along Canal Street, is the Cooley Farms commercial node a large
neighborhood retail center with highway related retail uses including a supermarket, drug store,
hardware store, car wash, auto parts, nursery, two restaurants, a pizza shop, a convenience store
and a small motel The Cooley Farms commercial node is located at the Washington Street
interchange with I-215, one half mile north of the Barton Road interchange There is a small
neighborhood retail center located to the south in the Canyon Crest Heights community There
is also a potential neighborhood retail center to be located at a site on Barton road about one
mile east of the study site, in Colton, near Loma Linda Among these competitive commercial
uses, the Cooley Farms center is the most competitive to the development potential of Barton
Road
Commercial development in the corridor has been slow The Town and Country Professional
Center, the neighborhood shopping center and the Security Pacific Bank reflect the commercial
development experienced in the corridor during the 1970's No commercial development has
taken place in the 1980's There is currently office and retail commercial space available for
occupancy
Local retail sales has increased nearly 40% since 1980 from $18,300,000 to $25,400,000 in 1988
This growth in retail sales has occurred predominantly in retail stores within the corridor rather
than non -retail outlets Accounting for the rise in inflation since 1980 we may conclude that the
sales growth at retail outlets has remained flat while retail sales from non -retail outlets has
declined In light of the fact that there has been significant residential growth in the local and
community trade areas we may conclude that the amount of retail sales leakage is growing in
size
OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS
Based upon the characteristics and conditions within the corridor the following commercial
development opportunities and constraints may be identified These opportunities and constraints
are discussed with regard to physical, market and implementation factors which affect commercial
development potential for the corridor
3
AGAJANIAN & ASSOCIATES
Zo
1 PHYSICAL FACTORS
The corridor has a number of physical and locational attributes which present opportunities for
commercial development Physically, the corridor has ample amounts of land for commercial
development, a large 18 acre site available for immediate retail development, a key site with
development potential located on the northwest corner of Mt Vernon Avenue and Barton
Road, and good functional separation between retail land uses west of Palm Avenue and non -
retail land uses east of Palm Avenue
The corridor presents few development constraints other than the deep and narrow sized lots
which are available for development The area is otherwise zoned for commercial development,
sites are available, utilities are available, and there is good traffic circulation along the corridor
Locationally, the corridor is well situated to capture retail trade from both the 1 mile radius
local trade area and the 3 mile radius community trade area Community level retail trade can
be captured by attracting sales from commuter through traffic along Barton Road since the
corridor serves as a major point of freeway access to residents living east of I-215 and south of
1-10 This easy point of freeway access will grow more important as the congestion at the
Washington Street interchange becomes more pronounced in the near and mid term future
2 MARKET FACTORS
The corridor has distinct competition from the Cooley Farms commercial node for neighborhood
level retail goods and services The node offers a nursery, hardware store, drug store, and other
retail goods and services which are not available on Barton Road
There are, however, three important opportunities which can increase retail demand in the
corridor First, retail demand may be increased by providing more retail goods and services
targeted to the more affluent local trade area With greater incomes and fewer young children
the local trade area can support higher quality merchandise and personal services
Second, retail goods and services not available in the 3 mile radius community level trade area
can be targeted to commuter through traffic Since the corridor serves as one of the least
congested access points to the freeways any new goods and services provided would attract
regular shoppers
Finally, there is the growth in demand resulting from the increase in the number of households
living within the community trade area The community trade area is expected to increase by
over 2,500 households over the next 5 years while the local trade area is expected to grow by
400 new households

3 IMPLEMENTATION FACTORS
The most significant development constraints are associated with the need to aggregate the
deep and narrow lots into suitably large sites to accommodate commercial development and the
need to upgrade the image of the corridor The lots on the south side of Barton Road between
Michigan Street and Canal Street are now available for sale In addition, there appears to be
an opportunity to aggregate several parcels on the northwest corner of Mt Vernon Avenue and
Barton Road Seeing that these properties are developed as a single commercial project will help
eliminate a major obstacle to larger scale commercial development in the corridor The smaller
properties located throughout the corridor, unfortunately, are not easily aggregated and not
available for larger scale commercial development at this time Any efforts on the part of the
community to promote and assist in the aggregation of these smaller lots will be beneficial to
the attraction of commercial development in the corridor
The quality of the older structures in the corridor, along with the unoccupied market at Mt
Vernon Street, do not reflect the image of quality nor the clarity of the corridor's commercial
role Missing too is an integrated architectural and urban design which conveys the image that
the corridor serves as the City's commercial center and downtown
The corridor does however have the benefit of local leadership interested in promoting the
commercial development This is a critical element of initiating and implementing the upgrading
and expansion of the retail facilities within the corridor
COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
Based upon the development opportunities and constraints identified above we have considered
what type of commercial uses show the greatest development potential for the corridor Our
evaluation assumed that the corridor would not develop with many small projects but rather
several larger developments In addition, we have assumed that the corridor would seek to
create a pleasant, accessible and integrated shopping environment With these assumptions in
mind we feel that the following commercial uses offer the best development potential for the
corridor in the near term (0-5 year) and mid term (5-10 year) future
1 Serve the local trade area market
Retail development can be supported by attracting retail tenants which cater to the
neighborhood trade area The corridor should cater to the local trade area and better serve the
more affluent households In particular, this means bringing in both higher quality and more
diverse goods and services Affluent households purchase higher quality foods, gifts,
entertainment, restaurants, professional services, apparel and related neighborhood level goods
and services By striving to provide higher quality merchandise and service the corridor will be
able to attract more sales from the local trade area and support retail development in the
corridor
5
AGAJANIAN & ASSOCIATES
�.2
Reducing the amount of retail sales leakage by attracting neighborhood level stores can also
increase local sales Local retail sales can be increased by attracting a drug store, hardware store,
convenience store and other neighborhood level retail uses that are not now being provided in
the corridor Thus, there is an untapped local market which can support new retail development
in the corridor
4 2 Serve the community trade area specialty market
The corridor can support new retail development by attracting retail stores providing community
level specialty goods and services There is an unserved market segment for goods and services
that are not available at competitive retail stores within a 3 mile radius of the corridor Most
notably, these unserved community level specialty goods and services include higher quality foods
(coffee, bakery, deli), household goods (kitchen, small electronics, decoration), home goods
(garden, hardware), personal services (beauty, financial, medical), apparel (women's, shoes),
and entertainment (restaurants, hobby) uses These specialty goods and services are cross -
supporting and can greatly benefit by being located close to one another
This segment of the retail market has the potential to support substantial new retail
development in the corridor because of the size of the trade area that can be served from the
corridor Since Barton Road accommodates through traffic to the surrounding communities it
is well situated to attract shoppers seeking higher quality community level specialty goods and
services from Colton, Loma Linda and adjacent unincorporated County areas
3 Serve the highway oriented market
There appears to be sufficient demand to support some additional highway related commercial
uses near the I-215 interchange This demand is, however, small, and suggests an expansion of
current uses rather than the introduction of new uses The school site could accommodate a
hotel/motel if the site became available
4 Serve the office market
There is little demand for office space in the near term future but may develop in the mid to
long term future Potential office demand will most likely occur for personal services and
professional offices These office users prefer garden type offices with quality landscaping and
master planned appearance A development to capture garden office demand would therefore
require a larger site Potential locations include the northern side of Barton Road between
Michigan Street and Mt Vernon Avenue and the area east of Palm Avenue The school site
may also accommodate garden office uses
Thus, there appears to be number of possible commercial market segments which can be
captured by new commercial development within the corridor Among these potential markets,
serving the local trade area appears to be the least competitive and most secure The specialty

community market segment appears to offer the greatest potential to support new development
within the corridor The highway oriented market appears to be the smallest while the office
market appears to be the slowest in developing
