needs to be addressed prior to the recordation of the final
map.

C R A ITEM() COUNCIL ITEM (X) MEETING DATE:5 10 90
SUBJECT: City Participation in the Summer Youth Employment Training
Program (SYEP)
RECOMMENDATION- Staff recommends that the City Council authorize
participation in the San Bernardino County Summer Youth Employment
Training Program (SYEP), for the summer of 1990
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
During March 1990, the City of Grand Terrace submitted a grant
application to the County of San Bernardino, Career Training and
Development Department The application requested that the City be
considered for funding for the SYEP On April 20, 1990, staff received
notification that a grant was being awarded to the City, in the amount of
$43,560 00 for a SYEP There are two main reasons for the SYEP First,
it provides a means of summer employment for eligible youth, between
the ages of 14 through 21. In -school, out -of -school and private school
youth within the County are eligible for participation Second, and most
important, it provides valuable academic, as well as on-the-job training,
for the local youth. In addition to performing meaningful work, the youth
will be required to participate in mandatory classroom study The grant
as written, identified youth to be served within the Grand Terrace area,
Loma Linda; parts of Colton Based upon the amount of the funding
awarded, it is anticipated that approximately 15 youth will be served
The program will employ the services of a State licensed teacher, who
will act as the program coordinator The program will be administered
by the Assistant City Manager Staff hopes to provide job opportunities
within the City maintenance department, administration, child care,
recreation In addition to the Chamber of Commerce, Loma Linda City
Hall All participants must meet eligibility requirements and must be

PROJECT DESCRI7P'ITON
Within the Grand Terrace catchment area, the need exists to (1) address the
special employability needs of a specific population group, in the JTPA
eligible youth population, (2) assess appropriate employability and basic
skill levels, (3) provide a systematic and component based program that will
pre- and post-test growth, (4) provide on -going in-service orientation and
(5) provide counseling and educational remediation
Various assessment tools will be used to determine the participant's needs,
in planning provisions of training youth to assist them in achieving
success These include, but are not limited to (1) pre -testing in Basic
Skills, (2) administering the Nelson Reading and Bergance Math tests, (3)
administering and evaluating the CAPS/COPS Inventory and Attitude, (4)
obtaining, with written parental release, CTBS, high school proficiency and
other cumulative folder information and scores, (5) utilizing the "Active
Learning" self-esteem/confidence video exercise and (6) in the case of
special education students (with written parental release), a copy of the
IEP Assessment will occur after certified eligibility and prior to
selection
STATEMENT OF NEED
I The City of Grand Terrace, recognizes that the Summer Youth Employment
Training Program (SYETP) is a program designed to provide opportunities for
young men and women (14-21), to acquire useful work skills, and to develop
positive attitude toward work For some, SYETP will represent an
opportunity to obtain skills and training as a prerequisite for regular
employment The summer program was originated to assist the "high risk"
youth, by encouraging them to maintain or resume their regular education and
thereby, enhancing their employment potential In the past, the City of
Colton has administered the SYETP for the youth of Colton, Grand Terrace and
Bloomington, yet, last summer, the City of Grand Terrace was referred only
one (1) SYETP participant This represents 008% of all allocated slots to
the service area
It is the contention of this proposal, that the City of Grand Terrace
should be able to serve its own catchment area with (1) the youth of Grand
Terrace, Colton, Bloomington and Loma Linda, and (2) provide job skills
training, and if needed, Basic Skills remediation At this time, the City
of Grand Terrace is committed to and has a firm commitment to place forty-
five (45) youth The implementation of this proposal will serve to provide
the City of Grand Terrace with youth employed in various areas of municipal
government and in non-profit agencies Conversely, the City of Grand
Terrace will administer, monitor and provide employment skills and Basic
Skills instruction
- 2 -
II ASSESSMENT
The assessment of all program participants will occur after he/she has
been certified eligible This will include (1) test of Basic Skills, (2)
administration of the Nelson and Bergance reading and math tests, (3)
administering of the CAPS/COPS Inventory, (4) with written parental
release, cumulative folder assess for all pertinent CTBS and proficiency
score, and in the case of special education students, copy of the IEP, (5)
video taping, "Active Learning" self-esteem/confidence exercise The
assessment will provide for a detailed and comprehensive Employability
Development Plan Role playing, learning packets, peer counseling and on-
going counseling will augment a continuous assessing of the participants
EMPLOYABDLIr1'Y PLAN DEVELOPMENT
The Employability Development Plan will reflect the participant's needs
resulting from his/her assessment The Employability Development Plan will
detail (1) employability status, i e , need for education/vocational
training, basic skills training, work experience and infusion into the world
of work, (2) employability objectives, i e , resulting from his/her employability
status, (3) assessment results, i e , test scores, stanines and types of
remediation needed, (4) barrier to employment and educational objectives, i e , low
reading level, physically or educationally handicapped, limited or non-
English speaking, (5) training and supportive services plan, i e , Basic Skills
instruction, work experience, "Active Learning" video, self-esteem and
interpersonal skills training
DEMONSTRATED EFFECTIVENESS
The Grand Terrace project, will be monitored and supervised by the
Assistant City Manager (ACM) The ACM has over fifteen years experience in
municipal government This experience includes, but is not limited to,
monitoring the old CETA program, safety programs, public works, parks,
recreation, code enforcement The program coordinator (hired under the
SYETP) will be required to have a background that will consist of experience
in social services, mental health, teaching and/or counseling fields The
remedial teacher (hired under the SYETP), will be a State of California
credentialed teacher The total experience of all program staff will bring
the participants methods used by men and women who have survived the hazards
and pitfalls of the employment world Services will be administered to
participants in a manner which respects the dignity of the individuals and
fosters self-sufficiency and individual choice Overall, staff will be
composed of imaginative people who care, who can organize amid ambiguity and
respond to shifting priorities While this application for funding will not
venture into a thicket of controversy by trying to define leadership
qualities, it is essential to emphasize that this program does require
effective leadership This is especially true in regards to cost control
- 3 -
This final aspect of the demonstrated effectiveness is crucial Fiscal
control will provide the means by which the City of Grand Terrace is able to
account to the County of San Bernardino and the Private Industry Council for
the effectiveness of the program in carrying out the purpose for which it is
funded
EffLEMENTATION PLAN
Participants who need Basic Skills instruction and remediation will be
post -tested in those areas It is anticipated that 80% of all remediated
participants, with the exception of those with IEP's and limited and non-
English speaking students will have demonstrated measurable growth In the
case of special education participants, growth will be deemed, if IEP
objectives were met Realistically, limited and non-English speaking
participants will demonstrate minimal growth in English, but math growth
should be measurable In the case of "Active Learning" self-
esteem/confidence video, 100% of all participants will demonstrate visual
growth In the area of job performance, 60%-70% of all participants will
receive favorable job reviews A post -Employability Development Plan will
be filled out to compare with the initial one
On or about April 12-13, local newspapers, Sun Telegram, El Chicano,
public service announcements, flyers at Colton, Bloomington and Slover
Mountain High Schools will be distributed, as well as at Advocate and Colton

one for the initial participants and the other for subsequent participants
- 4 -
In this manner, projections with those types of variable will not be
affected It is anticipated that all forty-five (45) participants will be
enrolled one week prior to the end of the school ,year
Assessment of all participants and an Employability Development Plan will
be completed by the end of the school year Selection will be made by the
supervising agent at the job sites (criteria will be supplied) during the
first week of summer In addition, the supervisor will receive a
"supervisor's manual " The selected participant will be referred to the
appropriate high school(s) and present to the work experience coordinator

The last days of the program will include one-to-one discussion of
individual goals and objectives The group will observe each ones video, and
engage in dialogue Termination papers will be filled out and the
participants will return to school, additional training or both The
participants needs will be taken into consideration in the Employability
Development Plan As deemed appropriate, EDP's will be updated and upgraded
to reflect growth Measure objectives will include such activities as on
going training, dialogue with the site supervisors and the basic skills
teacher Counseling will be interjected to address the particular
employment or education needs of the participants
Meeting the overall needs of the SDA will mean enrolling the target groups,
"high risk youth", discouraging drop -outs and knowing that the participant
has returned to school in the fall

Background
On February 6, 1990, the Planning Commission denied CUP-89-07, a Conditional Use

the City Council referred the project back to the Planning Commission for their review of
the revised plans
On April 17, the Planning Commission considered the revised plans and again denied the
project based on inadequate parking Again, the applicant has appealed the Planning
Commission's decision to the City Council Included with this report is the staff report and

ITEM 3
DISCUSSION
The applicant is proposing to operate a "general assembly room" for the purpose of
providing banquet and meeting room facilities to the general public The facility will
consist of two meeting rooms containing 2,227 square feet of area with the remaining
4,227 square feet consisting of office space, restrooms, storage and food preparation areas
for a total of 6,454 square feet
On January 12, 1990, the Planning Comaussnon denied this application based on
inadequate parking The applicant subsequently appealed the Planning Commission's
decision to the City Council at which time the applicant changed their submittal to
include additional parking spaces provided on an adjacent lot As a result of this new
information the City Council referred this item back to the Planning Commission for
your consideration of the additional parking
Parkin
The parking requirements generated by the proposed use is a total of 110, 89 for the
meeting room areas and 21 for the remainder of the space As currently unproved, the
entire Town and Country Professional Center contains 133 parking spaces (23 spaces short
of the required 165) As originally proposed this use would have increased this shortage
by 78 spaces to a total of 101, spaces The revised parking facilities as proposed by the
applicant adds 43 spaces (Area C) for a total of 55 spaces which can be identified for
use by this use This is still 55 spaces short of the required 110 To help decrease this
shortage the applicant is proposing a "shared parking" arrangement with the southerly
portion of this center (Area D), however, the applicant has not submitted the necessary
study to show this will work. Assuming however that the appropriate study is completed
and it shows that a "shared parking" arrangement will work, only 209o' of the needed
parking spaces can be provided through such an agreement, this translates into 22 shared
parking spaces, which would bring the total number of spaces available up to 77, still
30% short of the required number Additionally, the proposed new parking lot does not
meet the city's parking design standards
Adjacent landuses
The property directly to the north of the subject property is developed with multi -family
residential units which are located within 75 feet of the proposed use As proposed, staff
feels that this proximity is still of considerable concern due to potential conflicts between
the residents and those attendmg events in the meeting rooms, particularly during evening
and weekend hours when residents will be at home
REVIEWING AGENCY COMMENTS
The following responses have been received from the City's Reviewing Agencies
ENGINEERING/BUILDING & SAFETY
The Engineering/Buildmg & Safety Department's comments are included in their
memorandum dated December 26, 1989 and attached as Attachment C
PLANNING ISSUES
Pursuant to Section 18 66 040 of the Grand Terrace Municipal Code, certain findings must
be made for approval of a Conditional Use Permit , These findings as well as staff
responses to them reflect the applicant's submittal as currently proposed and are as
follows
1 Will the proposed use be detrimental to the general health, safety, morals,
comfort or general welfare of the persons residing or working within the neighborhood
of the proposed use or within the City? This finding must be made in the negative.
Yes Staff feels that because of the lack of adequate parking (per the Grand
Terrace Municipal Code Section 18 60 030(B)) that the proposed use will be detrimental
to the other businesses located in the center and to the adjacent residential units
2 Will the proposed use be consistent with the latest adopted General Plan
This finding must be made in the positive.
Yes The current General Plan land use designation for this property is General
Commercial
3 Is the proposed use consistent with the City's Zoning Ordinance? This
finding must be made in the positive.
No The proposed use does not meet the requirements of Section 18 60 030 (B)
of the Zoning Ordinance with regard to parking requirements
4 Are conditions necessary to secure the purpose of this section This finding
may be made in either the positive or the negative.
Staff recommends denial of this application based on inadequate parking, therefor,
there are no conditions of approval
RECOMMENDATION:
In the analysis of this application, staff has considered three alternative scenarios
A. The proposal as submitted (Attachment A)
B The proposal as submitted with the following changes,
1) The new proposed parking lot (Area C) is to be developed in
accordance with the City's parking ordinance and the Barton Road
Specific Plan (see Attachment B) This will yield 30 spaces
2) The of number "shared parking" spaces (Area D) shall be no more
than 15 spaces This provides a total of 74 spaces available for this
application
3) The total square feet of assembly room area is to be reduced to
1,200 square feet This will match the number of available parking
spaces under this scenario
C The proposal as submitted with the following changes,
1) The new proposed parking lot (Area C) is to be developed in
accordance with the City's parking ordinance and the Barton Road
Specific Plan (see Attachment B) This will yield 30 spaces
2) "Shared parking" is not included This will result in a total of 59
spaces available for this application
3) The total square feet of assembly room area is to be reduced to
750 square feet This will match the number of available parking
spaces under this scenario
The following are the Planning Department's recommendations regarding the above listed
scenarios
A. Staff recommends denial based on the findings included in this staff report
relating to inadequate parking and potential adverse impacts on adjacent
properties
B Staff recommends denial based on potential adverse impacts on adjacent
properties (including the proposed use of "shared parking" spaces located
in Area D which is currently under -parked)

AN APPLICATION FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW THE OPERATION
OF AN "ASSEMBLY ROOM"
The Community Development Director presented the staff report
Commissioner Van Gelder asked if anything was included from the section
designated A in the calculations of parking, to which the Community
Development Director responded in the negative
Commissioner Van Gelder asked if the number of square feet is reduced to
750, how many persons would they be talking about that would attend any
given meeting
The Community Development Director stated that the applicant would have
to answer that, but staff is looking at 50 people as a maximum occupancy
Chairman Hawkinson called up the applicant
GABRIEL ADAME
LARRY VESELEY ARCHITECT
Mr Adame stated that they would like to comply with Condition B with one
modification, being the retaining of 1,200 square feet of assembly room area,
and the 15 spaces of shared parking in Area D He stated that he
understands they cannot do this under Item C under the times located here,
but they would like to propose that another study be conducted for weekend
or evening use, since the study conducted by staff did not include any parking
established after dusk
Commissioner Hargrave asked how many more spaces his client was looking
for based upon that scenario, or what is the objective
Mr Adame stated that the objective is to get the maximum amount of
occupancy, to increase it from 50
Commissioner Hargrave asked what he was proposing for maximum
occupancy
rya
Mr Adame stated that with 15 extra spaces under Item D, they calculate that
they can get from 50 to 80 people maximum occupancy in the assembly area
at a 1,200 square foot room size
Commissioner Hargrave stated, assuming that this works out, how would he
propose that they coordinate this with the operating hours as proposed by the
staff
Mr Adame stated that the only thing that would change with the operating
hours would be the maximum occupancy at the time of Saturday and Sunday
and also during the evenings from 6 00 p m to 12 00 a m
Commissioner Hargrave asked how they would control the following scenario
Assuming there was an event scheduled for 8 00 a m, which would be for 75
people, thereby parking would be needed out or Area D
Mr Adame stated that they are not proposing to change the morning hours
or afternoon hours - just the evening hours He stated that they would retain
the maximum occupancy of 50 during the morning and afternoon hours
Commssioner Hargrave stated then, that evenings, Saturdays and Sundays
would go to 75, which Mr Adame verified
Chairman Hawkinson asked if anyone in the audience would like to speak,
then brought it back to Commission for action.
Commissioner Hargrave asked for the Community Development Director's
comments
The Community Development Director stated that if the applicant's
suggestion is to limit the number of attendees to an event to 50, which would
represent the parking spaces that Area B and C can handle during weekday,
working hours, and allow the development of the area in the building to be
1,200 square feet and only utilized to its fullest when the shared parkmg
would be available i a the adjacent Area D, then in order to do this, the
applicant would have to show a parking study that would indicate that this
would not be a hindrance to the existing and potential tenants in Area D He
stated that this would settle the parking issue if that works out, but staff still
feels that the number of people that would be generated from the 1,200
square foot space would be a potential conflict with the residential units only
75 feet away with no barriers at all between them He stated that they felt
this was an issue from the very beginning and feel it is still an issue
Mr Adame stated that the barriers would be the fact that nothing would be
23
conducted outdoors, but rather on the interior
The Community Development Director stated that this is a good point, but
his concern is the people that will not want to park in Area D and walk to the
building, and would rather park along Britton Way or in some way adjacent
to the parking areas of the apartment building He stated that he is speaking
not only of activities, but of after -hour activities He said that one thing that
hasn't been clarified is the type of use that they will be looking at in this
assembly room He asked if they would be talking about weddings, as_ this
was one of the things staff had a problem with, and not weddings per se, but
the celebrations that go along with them that close to a residential use He
stated that if this is a use that is not willing to cater to weddings or uses
where alcohol or other things will be served late in the evening, that might
lessen some of the concern regarding the proximity of the residential uses
Chairman Hawkinson stated that it sounds like the project ought to be
continued until some of these other issues are resolved
Mr Adame stated that they understand that at the last board meeting, a
petition was submitted and presented to the board, which indicated signatures
from the residences to the north of this property He stated that the
apartment complex does not currently have a meeting or assembly room of
any type, and they would be much in favor of having something like this in
close proximity for their assembly uses, whether they be for recreational or
administrative uses
Chairman Hawkinson stated that he was not aware of such a petition.
The Community Development Director stated that there was a petition
submitted to the City Clerk at the time of the City Council Meeting, and it
did contain signatures of residents of the apartment project, stating that they
were in favor of the proposed project
Chairman Hawkinson stated there has been no presentation to this body yet
Commissioner Van Gelder stated that she assumes that at least part of the
time, the people who will be coming to use this facility will not be familiar
with a location, and it is not the easiest place to find if you are not familiar
with the complex, and she believes that people being as lazy as they are, they
are going to pick the first spot they come to for parking, and if they happen
to come in on Britton Way, they are going to park in the area designated as
A. She asked how they are supposed to know that they are not supposed to
park there She stated she is also concerned about #S, 9 and 10 on the
recommendations, as they've been through this before with the other facility
24
in Grand Terrace She asked the Community Development Director how he
proposed to control these items, being the use of the alcohol and people being
given a notice and they have to sign it She stated that it doesn't mean
anything - you can't enforce it
The Community Development Director stated that they can enforce it if it
becomes a problem, and unfortunately they often times have to wart until it
becomes a significant problem in order to spend the man hours to go out and
deal with it, particularly in these types of hours they are talking about He
stated that Item A is certainly a self-imposed regulation, Item 10 is a self -
unposed regulation until it becomes a problem, as is #9 He stated that he
thinks all three of these reflects on the quality of the applicant, and whether
or not they are willing to live by their word, and they cannot judge that ahead
of time
Commissioner Van Gelder stated that there is no way they can be assured of
that ahead of time
The Community Development Director stated that this is correct, so if it does
become a problem in the future, they can deal with it, particularly on an
annual CUP basis He stated that if it becomes a health and safety factor,
they would address it immediately, if it was one little incident after another
that individually don't amount to much, then they are not going to throw a
block wall in front of them in order to stop them, but when it does come up
for review, they would certainly make note of those incidences to the Planning
Commission for their review He stated that a lot of it depends upon the
seventy of the violation and whether or not they think they are going to get
away with something immediately or if they will answer for it after being in
business for a year
Commissioner Hargrave asked if Britton Way allows parking, to which the
Community Development Director responded in the negative
Commissioner Hargrave stated that people park on Britton Way, and he
thought in the conditions, they said there would be no parking on Britton
Way, but every time he has been there, there is plenty of parking
The Community Development Director stated that Britton Way is a private
road
Commissioner Hargrave stated that there are semi -trucks that park there now,
and obviously live in that residence, and they park on both sides, and there
is barely enough room for a car to get through once they park on both sides,
so the private roadway issue is something that is out of the City's control
25
Commissioner Hilkey stated that the applicant has Parking Lot C, and there
are 43 spaces, and his the Community Development Director's has 30 He
asked if there orientation is totally unacceptable
The Community Development Director stated that it is within the parking
code, but the problem with their design is that the stalls are 16 feet in depth
rather than 19 feet in depth, which is necessary in order to get the two double
bays that they have in there He stated that unfortunately, there is just not
enough land in order to get the appropriate dimensions for a parking lot
within the code
Commissioner Hilkey stated that he thinks the City needs something like this,
but the parking is a real problem, and until they mitigate the problem, it is
going to fall back on the apartments to absorb the extra parking He asked
if it was possible to install gates on the edge of the property, so that the
people coming off of Barton Road can't get back into the apartments, which
would force them to park in the D section.
The Community Development Director stated that they would still have
pedestrian access in there, and they would have to fence off the whole
building in essence, or at least pedestrian access to it
Commissioner Hilkey stated that then they are talking about crowd control,
as it is not laid out for use on a regular basis, as they are talking about
weekends and evenings He stated that there is simply not enough parking
The Community Development Director stated that as far as gatmg it off, they
would have to have the crash gates for fire access and all of that, and he
thinks they may be breaking new ground doing that in a commercial
development
Commissioner Hilkey asked, with existing parking, what the largest square
footage and number of people is that they could accommodate
The Community Development Director stated, with his recommendation, 750
square feet, without shared parking and with Area C He stated that Area B
has 32 spaces in it, and the square footage in Suite 200, which takes up the
entire building in the back, requires under the current parking code for office
space or retail space 1 space for every 200 square feet of area He stated that
this building requires 32 parking spaces, so if that building was to rent out for
an office space or retail space, anything that goes under the 1 per 200 parking
requirement, they would not have to provide additional parking He stated
that they need the additional parking because of the assembly room He
stated that if they were to do that whole building with office space they would
26
be fine, and if they were to do any use that would require a Conditional Use
Permit or for any reason need Site and Architectural Review, staff would
recommend that the parking areas involved with that be brought up to the
parking code requirements, which would basically be just improving the
landscaping and restriping it differently than what it is He stated that this
would be a minor change that wouldn't affect the use of the building, it is
when they increase the parking need that they have the problem, and this is
what the assembly room does
Commissioner Hilkey asked how many people 750 square feet would
accommodate
4
The Community Development Director stated that with Area B and C, this
would accommodate 50 people
Commissioner Hilkey stated that it was then up to the applicant if they
wanted to proceed that way
The Community Development Director stated that the applicant has indicated
that they would like to have the 1,200 square foot room and try to get the
shared parking in Area D for at least the off hours, and they would only use
the 1,200 square foot space for 50 people, even though it would generate
maybe 30 more people
Commissioner Munson asked if he heard that the applicant wished to
continue this for two weeks so he could study D
Mr Adame stated that they would rather not continue this for two weeks He
stated that under personal testimony, and also from testimony from other
proprietors in the complex, there are no more than a dozen cars in the
parking lot on the weekend at any given time, and they are assured that any
study that would be conducted would indicate this
Chairman Hawkinson stated that personal testimony is not doing this body any
good because they would need this substantiated
Mr Adame stated that he is explaining how this would be substantiated
The Community Development Director stated that staff has made a during
the week study, and they feel that the area cannot handle He stated that
they are suggesting another study be done, which would have to be done
under the shared parking requirements anyway
Chairman Hawkinson asked who would do the study and who would pay for

it
The Community Development Director stated that is up to them He stated
that the parking code requires that the applicant put together the study and
show that it will work He stated that if they would like to direct staff to
conduct its own study, they will do that, but either way, staff has worked with
this project many hours now, and he would prefer that any final decision
regarding whether or not the area in parking lot D can be shared or not be
brought back to them, as they have made their recommendations
Chairman Hawkinson stated that they have gone a step beyond in coming up
with some proposals that would make it work, but it just looks to him like
they are trying to put a square peg in a round hole, it's just not there with the
parking
Commissioner Munson made the motion, based on staffs recommendation
and that the applicant does not desire to continue this, that the project be
denied Commissioner Hargrave second for discussion
Commissioner Hilkey stated that he would like to give them an option that
makes sense under the calculations that staff has come up with, and if they
don't like it then they can appeal it
Commissioner Munson stated that staff has given them the option, but they
don't particularly want that option.
Mr Adame stated that they will consider taking Option C if the board is
leaning toward denial of this case
Chairman Hawkinson stated that he would have to refrain from discussion as
there is a motion before them
JAMES BLAISDELL
22400 BARTON ROAD
G.T.
Mr Blaisdell stated that he is the applicant
Chairman Hawkinson stated that he should have come up at the time they
asked if there was any input
Mr Blaisdell stated that he is trying to address questions that are being asked
now
The Community Development Director stated that at this point of the
meeting, after the Planning Commission has closed the public hearing, it is for
discussion by the Planning Commission He stated that if they want to open
it up and ask any questions, they can do that again, but that would be up to
the Planning Chairman
Commissioner Hargrave asked if he would allow Mr Blaisdell to make his
comments if he so deem this to be acceptable
Chairman Hawkinson accepted this
Mr Blaisdell stated that he would like to address the parking situation on
weekends He stated that he runs a business himself at 22400 Barton Road,
and he is there seven days a week and is open seven days a week from 6 30
a m. to normally 10 00 p m. He stated that on weekends, if there are 12 to
14 cars in the whole parking lot on a Saturday, it is very, very rare He stated
that on Sundays, if there are more than three cars in the parking lot, it is rare
He stated that the only cars there on Sundays are from people coming to his
own place of business which is may four on hour on an average He stated
that on Saturdays, there are maybe 20 to 25 cars occasionally at Gmna's, but
it starts drifting off by 3 00 to 4 00 p m , and in the evening time, it is basically
empty He stated that he was more than happy to go along with the
suggestions of the Planning Director as far as the 50 people on Monday
through Friday, and that all he is asking is for the 75 to 80 people on the
weekends He stated that as far as parking goes in Area C, it could be fenced
off and used as valet parking, where he could double the number of cars that
go into Area C He stated that he feels the parking is there if people are
willing to let him do it
The Community Development Director stated that the parking code doesn't
provide for valet parking, and if the area is to be used for parking, staff would
recommend that it be developed in accordance with the parking code and the
Barton Road Specific Plan parking requirements He stated that staff would
be opposed to valet parking without some real justification that it would work
He stated that part of the problem is that they are approving parking
improvements that are going to be there, and they are trying to look forward,
and this is why the reciprocal parking is up there and why the landscaping is
going to be required He stated that when La Tijera sells that property or
develops it, that parking back there will be incorporated with their project
He stated that it could be all torn out completely and done completely
differently, but more than likely it will be incorporated into that project, and
29
this is why they have the access across the top of it to have access from both
properties on each side He stated that the landscaping areas meet the
parking code requirements, and valet parking could work on a temporary
basis, but there is no provision for it in the parking code
Commissioner Hilkey stated that on the map there are two entrances into
Parking Lot C He asked if they could eliminate the driveway along the top
and put gates up there
The Community Development Director stated that they could eliminate the
access up there at this time and work something along that line He stated
that in closing off any of those access points, they would have to run it by the
fire department to make sure they don't have any problems with it from fire -
access point of view He stated that with the access points that they have, he
doesn't feel the fire department would have any concerns at all, as it has
plenty of access He stated that the access point onto Britton Way is really
thinking of the future in servicing that as an independent drive access for
people that would be turning into whatever development would be from La
Tijera He stated that they wouldn't want more than the one space in order
to keep the driveway spaces apart He stated that the fewer driveways, the
better as far as they are concerned
Commissioner Hilkey stated that there are three alternatives, A is theirs, B
is 1,200 square feet and C is 750 square feet He asked if both are acceptable
to staff
The Community Development Director said no, that they feel B is still large
enough to create potential problems with the apartments He stated that they
are more than valhng to look at another parking study, and if a study would
show that the parking spaces are available in Area D on a limited time basis,
and the use of that area is restricted to that limited time area, then staff
would be satisfied with the parking issue He stated that this is very difficult
to enforce, but it would just become an enforcement issue He stated that
staff still feels that this is quite an intense use that close to the apartment
units
Commissioner Hilkey asked if staff felt comfortable with the 750 square foot
room
The Community Development Director stated yes, as it reduces the size of the
assembly room enough to where the number of people attending the use will
have adequate problem and it will not be substantial enough to cause any
real, potential problems with the residential units
01
Commissioner Hilkey asked if this would be roughly 50 participants
The Community Development Director stated that it would be 59 parking
spaces linuted to 50 people
Commssioner Hilkey asked if he would be receptive to opening up the 1,200
square feet on weekends or evenings
The Commrumty Development Director stated that staff still feels there is a
potential problem with the residential units being as close as they are, and it
may be ill-founded, but they don't know
Chairman Hawkinson asked if they had any more questions of Mr Blaisdell
Commissioner Hargrave asked if it came down to 750 square feet or nothing,
would it make sense for him to do this
Mr Blaisdell stated that economically, no
Commissioner Hilkey asked how many parking spaces were needed for 1,200
square feet
The Community Development Director stated that 74 would be needed
Commissioner H-dkey asked how many they have
The Community Development Director stated, with Area B and C, as staff has
proposed it, they have 59 He stated that the additional 15 spaces represent
20%, which is how much the code allows shared parking to provide, which
would have to come out of Area D He stated that they haven't talked about
Area A because basically, it is already a shared parking area between the
shopping center and the residential units
Commissioner Hilkey asked if shared parking required some agreements, to
which the Community Development Director responded in the affirmative
Commissioner Hilkey asked if the owner of B was the same a the owner of
D, to which the Community Development Director responded in the
affirmative
The Community Development Director stated that basically, they are separate
lots, and they would need reciprocal parking agreements
Commissioner Flilkey asked if there was any way to enforce the parking into

D at off hours or weekends and protect the apartments, with gates, fences,
temporary partitions or guards
The Community Development Director stated that he doesn't think they
would want to see gates strung up blocking areas off, and he doesn't know
how they would do temporary barriers He stated that one of the
requirements for the similar project down in Terrace Gateway was that any
time they have 50 people or more, they have to have a security guard, and if
they have 75 people they hake to have two guards He stated that there is no
requirement for such here because the maximum number is limited to 50
people, and if they were to go to a higher number, they would want to bring
that recommendation in He stated that perhaps one of the duties of the
security officer would be to prevent parking in any area other than identified
parking areas for the use He stated that this would be self -enforcing until
they get complaints
Commissioner Van Gelder asked how many parking spaces there are in
Section D
The Community Development Director stated that they have identified 133
parking spaces, but some of those would not currently be allowed under the
current parking code, so this would be reduced a certain number in order to
get landscape islands into the certain areas He stated that there are certain
parking areas that are located back in the drive aisle between Area B and D,
which may not be utilized He stated that they may be able to get anywhere
from 125 to 133 spaces, probably close to 130
Commissioner Van Gelder asked how many businesses are not open on
Saturday or Sunday
The Community Development Director stated that he does not, and this
should be included in any study that would reflect that, but this type of issue
is great for what is there now

APPLICANT James and Jeanette Genel
LOCATION 22720 Raven Way
REQUEST. An appeal of Planning Commission Decision denying Site and
Architectural Review of a patio cover and overhead deck
Background
On April 17, 1990, the Site and Architectural Review Board denied SA-90-03 based on the
finding that the proposed patio and deck is inconsistent with the general character of the
existing neighborhood and that it is intrusive on adjacent properties
Subsequently, the applicant has appealed the Site and Architectural Review Board's decision
and is before the City Council at this time Included with this report is the staff report and
recommendations regarding the revised plans (Attachment A), the draft minutes from that
meeting regarding this application (Attachment B) and the applicant's plans (Attachment
C)
Recommendation.
Staff feels that although the facts regarding this application are the same as at the time of
the Site and Architectural Review Board's decision, in consideration of the Site and
Architectural Review Board's concerns over the size of the overhead deck area, staff

which will allow for casual observation of the area's vistas, but not be large enough to be

AN APPLICATION FOR SITE AND ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW OF A PATIO COVER
AND OVERHEAD DECK ON A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IN A R1-7.2 DISTRICT
The Assistant Planner presented the staff report
Chairman Hawkinson asked if the Planning Department had received any
comments as a by-product of some of the letters that went out
The Assistant Planner stated that they had not received any comments as of
the tune of the meeting
Commissioner Hargrave asked if staff still recommended approval
The Assistant Planner agreed
Commissioner Hargrave asked if they had thought about the potential of this
application coming before them from another residence or residences for
some comparable type of deck and what effect this would have
The Community Development Director stated that he doesn't know if it has
any domino effect or anything, but this is why they have Site and Architectural
Review He stated that they are to be looking at it on an independent basis,
and if they feel there are conditions regarding this application that would tend
to have them make a determination one way or the other, then they would
36
base this determination on those concerns, and an additional one would be
based on its own independent concerns
Commissioner Hargrave stated that he went out to Mr and Mrs Genel's
house and he was kind enough to show him what they wanted to do, and he
can understand why they want to do this as they want to have a more
picturesque view of Blue Mountain, which is in their backyard He stated that
he would have a problem architecturally if a lot of people on that block
decided to do it as he feels it would detract from the previous ones that are
done, as the new ones may block the view of the older ones, and ;t may get
to be a little bit obtrusive
JAMES THOMAS

Mr Thomas stated that he represents the contractor, Outdoor Designs
Commissioner Hargrave asked, when they put on the deckings, if they certify
the property owner that their house is structurally sound enough to support
this construction
Mr Thomas stated that yes, they ledger into the room Joyce on the second
story per building codes depending upon the city or county
Commissioner Hargrave asked if his firm was a licensed contractor, to which
Mr 'Thomas responded in the affirmative
Chairman Hawkinson asked if their were any comments from the audience
then brought it back to Commission
Commissioner Hargrave asked if the wood was to be painted or treated in any
manner other than just the natural color of the wood
Mr Thomas stated that they use Oak Hill Quaker Stain, and it will be stained
to match the trim of the home
Commissioner Hargrave asked Mr Genel what color his trim is
Mr Genel stated that it is beige
Commissioner Hilkey stated that he thinks it is an eyesore He stated that if
he had an opportunity to stop his neighbor from doing this, he certainly would
speak up, but the Commission has done everything that it could, it continued
37
it and sent letters to the neighbors and they don't seemed to be concerned
about it, so if they aren't concerned enough about it to raise their hand, then
he doesn't think they should be concerned about it
Commissioner Munson stated that he concurs He stated that his backyard
used to private but it is not anymore, and consequently, he is going to vote
against it He stated that were it a roof and not an observation deck, he
could vote for it, but because it is an observation deck, he is going to vote
against it
Commissioner Hilkey asked staff why the other owners didn't speak up
The Community Development Director stated that they notified the property
owners by mail and did not receive any response from them, so he can't say
why they didn't respond
Commussioner Hargrave stated that he asked Mr Genel if any of his
neighbors said anything to him about it, and he said that his immediate
neighbors said it was fine and had no objections, and in fact the neighbor to
the east is going to try to build a similar structure
JIM GENEL

Mr Genel stated that all of the lots are terraced and every single home is a
two story house He stated that in reference to privacy, everybody that goes
into the bedrooms, which are all located on the back of the homes, can look
into the lot on the west and east side He stated that privacy -wise, you are
not going to spend all of your time looking at the neighbors' backyards He
stated that the reasons they don't object to his having a sun deck up there is
because he is just going to use it when the weather is nice and comfortable
to go up there He stated that they have been invited once it has been
completed to come up and see, and they still don't object to it He stated that
he has an empty lot m the backyard which overlooks a church, and if on a
summer night he wants to go out and look at the lights in Colton, Rialto or
the hillside in the back, that is all he is going to be using it for He stated
that all of his neighbors are in the process of applying for permits to put
deckings on their backyards, so the way they vote now will affect them.,
because they have already submitted plans to them
Commission Hargrave asked if he and his wife consider down -sizing this a
little bit, for example, going to a smaller square footage of decking area
Mr Genel stated that he only has a very small amount of usable decking, and
all the rest of it is lattice He stated that his patio does not go from one end
of the house to the other
Commissioner Hargrave stated that the proposed deck is 171 square feet
Mr Genel stated that it will be completed from one side to the other
Commissioner Hargrave stated that he would be able to stand or sit above the
actual patio also, according to the plans He stated that there are 119 feet off
of the bedroom, and there are another 12 feet on the west side, so they have
19 feet as far as length goes from their bedroom right now, and there is a 7
foot area before you get into the patio area of 12 feet in length He stated
that the balcony area for viewing is just the 19 feet, which Mr Genel verified
Commissioner Hargrave stated that he was thinking they could leave the patio
area alone, but go over to where they have the 19 feet, and downsize that a
little bit
Mr Genel stated that they are going to install the French doors right up in
there which would throw it off
Commissioner Hargrave stated that if they brought it in from both sides, an
equal distance, then the French doors would still be in the center
Mr Thomas stated that they could downsize it from the nght-hand side
almost up to the door, which would be about 8 feet, but the balcony is still at
the same height, and aesthetically, it would not look right
Commissioner Hargrave asked if they could go 4 feet from both sides of the
19 feet
Mr Thomas stated that there are a multitude of ways they could lay it out,
but they would still have the same height of the balcony, and the applicant
would not want to do this
Commissioner Hilkey stated that if he had a project like this and has put a lot
of work into it and he has a contractor, he wouldn't like people hacking it up
either He stated that he hopes he understand what their concern is - not
with the balcony or the quality, but simply other residents in the future He
stated that on the back side, there is a vacant lot that will be developed some
day, and what will they say He stated that it is a nice looking balcony and
good materials, but how will it affect the neighborhood in five or ten years
Commissioner Van Gelder stated that staff recommended adopting this
39
proposal She asked if his neighbor up the street, next door, comes in next
week with a proposal, will they recommend adoption of it also
The Community Development Director stated that staff takes every
application on its own and will look at it independently and he will give them
a recommendation on it when it comes in
Commissioner Van Gelder asked if he wouldn't mind having a whole row of
houses that have this same type of deck on it
The Community Development Director stated they will look at each one
independently, and he can't say more than that He stated that the code
allows this to be built as long as it is not over 20 feet, and if it is over 8 feet,
it needs Site and Architectural Review He stated that if there are neighbors
that are coming in and giving substantial reasons to deny it, if the design is
not in a manner that they feel is appropriate for that particular location, then
they can deny it He stated that they can make modifications on it He said
that they can approve this one if they don't feel there is anything wrong with
it He stated that each case is independent, and it does not create a
precedence on additional cases
Commissioner Munson stated that privacy has nothing to do with this, if it is
structurally sound, they approve it or disapprove it He asked the City
Attorney if this was correct
The City Attorney stated that if he is asking whether or not the Planning
Commission can consider approving or denying the project as it affects
adjacent residents, which includes privacy, then yes, they can consider that, if
they feel it will be intrusive on neighbors He stated that it is not simply a
matter of being structurally sound
Chairman Hawkinson stated that Commissioner Hilkey expressed it as well
as they could He stated that no one seems enthusiastic about this project,
but no one has responded to say they are opposed to it He stated that
nobody seems to be bothered by it, so he really sees no reason that they don't
just say go ahead and do it
Commissioner Munson stated that he heard the applicant make a statement
that his neighbors are considering a similar project for their houses, so now
they are going to look at them up the street
Chairman Hawkinson stated that now they are into some dangerous ground
because they are talking about projects that have not been proposed He
stated that they need to look lust at this issue tonight
MOTION
PCM-90-38
SA-90-03
Comzrussioner Munson stated that he thinks they are opening a can of worms
they would rather not open
Chairman Hawkinson stated they have to look at this project on its own ment
Commissioner Munson made the motion that they deny SA-90-03
Commissioner Hargrave second for discussion.
The Community Development Director stated that they need to have some
findings to base denial on He stated that he assumes he is basing it on the
issue of lack of privacy on adjoining properties as a result of proposed project
Commissioner Munson said this is part of it He stated that they have an
eight foot limit and this is nine foot top, and he doesn't see any reason for
this project He asked if his motion was out of order, stating that all he is
trying to do is get the Commission to make a decision
The Community Development Director stated that his motion is not out of
order at all, they just need to back it up with findings
The City Attorney stated that he supposed that the finding is that the patio
is inconsistent with the general character of the existing neighborhood, and
that it is intrusive on adjacent properties
Comnussmoner Hargrave stated that he is going to vote with Commissioner
Munson on this motion to deny, but he would really like to see the Genels
come back and give them another proposal on this with a downscale model
in keeping with what their theme is
Chairman Hawkinson stated that he has a problem with that, as downscalmng
this is not going to change it
Commissioner Hilkey stated he doesn't want to redesign the project as this is
a very sensitive thing, but the supports are nine feet away from the house, so
it will stick out a foot or two beyond that He stated that they are really
talking about a 19 by 10 foot observation deck, which is very large He stated
that on the west side, there is no problem, because there is only the patio
cover He stated that on the east side, there isn't too much of a problem
because the house is higher than theirs He stated that there is no one on the
north side yet, which seems to be the only place they have concerns He

MOTION
VOTE

stated that he will go along with the others and vote against it because he
thinks in five years it will come up again, and it will be an eyesore
Motion carries 3-2-2-0 Chairman Hawkinson and Commissioner Van
Gelder voting no Commissioners Buchanan and Sims absent
The Community Development Director stated that the project is denied and
there is a ten day appeal period that they may appeal the decision to the City
Council
Chairman Hawkinson asked if the vote of 3 to 2 is based only upon the
Commissioners present or is it based upon the entire body
The City Attorney stated it is the majority of those present

Commissioner Hargrave stated that, according to the drawing, where they
place the dish seems to meet all the recommendations
The Assistant Planner stated that other than the ground mounting, when
looking at the height aspect
Commissioner Hargrave asked if this would mean that the applicant would
have to move the dish right on top of the pole down to ground level
The Assistant Planner stated that either that or any other location as long as
it meets setback requirements
