AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 28, 2016 Council Item
TITLE: Monthly Financial Report for April 2016
PRESENTED BY: Cynthia Fortune, Finance Director
RECOMMENDATION: Receive and file the Monthly Financial Report for the period
ending April 31, 2016.
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports City Council Goal #1, “Ensure Our Fiscal Viability,” through
the continuous monitoring of revenue receipts and expenditure disbursements against
approved budget appropriations.
BACKGROUND:
The Finance Department has developed a Monthly Financial Report (MFR), which will
be submitted to the City Council each month. The attached MFR is for the period
ending April 31, 2016. The purpose of the MFR is to identify actual revenues received,
and expenditures incurred, for the current fiscal year and compare them to the
Approved Budget and fiscal year-to-date (YTD) expected amounts. The MFR
encompasses the City’s two major funds: General Fund and Child Care Fund.
DISCUSSION:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2015-16 Approved Budget amounts are presented in the attached
MFR for reference purposes. Any adjustments to the Approved Budget that may occur
during the fiscal year will also be reflected in the report. The “expected” revenues
reflect an analysis of revenue receipts that have, historically, been received as of this
month in the fiscal year. The resulting positive or negative variances shown in the MFR
are in comparison to these “expected” receipts.
The timing of expenditures is more evenly distributed during the fiscal year than
revenue receipts; however, it is not entirely straight-line in nature. For example, some
months have three pay periods rather than two. Also, debt service payments are only
made twice a year. Additionally, certain expenditure postings, such as the cost
allocation plan, are made quarterly rather than monthly. All of these factors are
reflected in the YTD “expected” expenditures shown in the MFR.
As part of the MFR, staff will include explanations of significant variances between YTD
actual revenues and expenditures, and those that are “expected” at that point in the
2
Packet Pg. 6
fiscal year. This analysis and reporting process is intended to keep the City Council
informed regarding the City’s financial position relative to the budget, and to identify any
financial issues or concerns that arise during the fiscal year so appropriate and timely
action can be taken in response to these variances.
When reviewing the charts that provide the current monthly status of both revenues and
expenditures, it is helpful to bear in mind that some of the fluctuations from month to
month may be due to the following:
Invoices were not submitted to the City in a timely manner; and
Invoices may have required further review by the authorizing department.
In addition, the MFR has been redesigned to provide more transparency by providing
charts that compare actual receipts and expenditures against expected and approved
budgets. Each category has 2 charts:
1. the 1st chart shows the actual receipts or expenditures incurred for the current
fiscal year (FY2015-16) and is compared to the prior year (2014-15) actuals; and
2. the 2nd chart shows the total annual amounts incurred, for the current year, the
prior year and is compared to the “expected” amounts for the current year.

Packet Pg. 8
$860,536, reflecting a variance of $46,346. As presented in a comprehensive financial
status report to City Council in February 2016 and an update in April 2016, the Child
Care Services Fund revenues and expenditures have been revised to reflect a decline in
child care enrollment during the first few months and increased attendance for the
remainder of the year.
Child Care expenditures of $875,932 are below the expected level of $903,747 reflecting a
positive variance of $27,816. Expenditures have also been revised to adjust for the
decline in revenues during the first few months of the fiscal year.
During the financial update provided in April 2016, the Child Care Services Department
will be implementing several strategies which will address the projected deficit.

City of Grand Terrace
FY 2014-15 Child Care Fund Monthly Financial Report
For the Period Ending April 30, 2016
Salaries & Retirement Benefits are less due to the current monthly payment CalPERS; however, a lump-sum amount will be due to
CalPERS at the end of the fiscal year for the City's accrued pension liability.
Child Care enrollment has declined during the last few months due to several families relocating & some parents losing their jobs; staff
has presented two financial status updates to City Council projecting revised (lower) revenues & expenditures.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 28, 2016 Council Item
TITLE: La Cadeña Drive / Litton Avenue Corner Street
Improvements
PRESENTED BY: Yanni Demitri, Public Works Director
RECOMMENDATION: 1) Authorize City Manager to Reimburse City of Colton
an amount of $10,000.00 For Street Corner Improvements at
La Cadeña Drive and Litton Avenue.
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports Goal # 4 “Develop and Implement Successful Partnerships” to
ensure that our residents continue to enjoy an outstanding quality of life.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The City of Colton has completed the installation of the traffic signal at the intersection
of La Cadeña Drive and Litton Avenue. On the City’s corner (southwest) the project
only included the traffic signal. The City of Colton inquired if the City wished to
implement street improvements at the City’s corner, consisting of new curb and gutter,
ADA ramp, grading, paving, and other miscellaneous work.
City staff reviewed this request and determined that it would be in the City’s interest to
do so. The improvements not only result in a finished corner, but the curb and
pavement blending directs drainage around the corner eliminating erosion and
protecting the street light, and also the blending of asphalt along Lotion Avenue also
facilities drainage.
It was agreed that the same contractor hired by the City of Colton through a competitive
bid process would also implement the improvements to reduce cost of mobilizing a
different contractor, reduce the cost of traffic control measures, overhead and profit, etc.
and to also benefit from the coast savings associated with the economy of scale.
The Engineer’s Estimate for the cost of said improvements total $10,000.00 per
Attachment “A”. Prior to the work, the Engineer’s Estimate was reviewed by the City’s
Consultant City Engineer and the costs were determined to be appropriate for the scope
of work. The City’s Public Works Director/City Engineer has also reviewed and agreed
with the estimate.
The $10,000.00 cost is within the City Manager’s approval authority, and the decision to
waive competitive bidding for the improvements is permissible pursuant to the City’s
Purchasing Ordinance when it is in the City’s best interest. It was found to be in the
City’s best interest because the economy of scale provided a cost savings to the City.

Packet Pg. 38
This project is an example of the continued cooperation with our neighboring City on
projects within shared boundary areas. The work has been completed and the City of
Colton has paid the Contractor and is seeking reimbursement. Staff recommends
approval.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds in the amount of $10,000 are available in the Gas Tax Fund No. 16-900-220.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 28, 2016 Council Item
TITLE: Request by the Foundation of Grand Terrace for a Waiver of
City Fees Related to Community Day
PRESENTED BY: Sandra Molina, Planning & Development Services Director
RECOMMENDATION: Waive the filing and permitting fees in the amount of $545
For Community Day 2016.
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports Goal #4 - Develop and Implement Successful Partnerships
through productive collaboration with community groups, youth programs and senior
organizations.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
In previous years, as the City worked to reduce expenditures for various programs, it
also began efforts to engage volunteers to continue special events that the community
looks forward to each year. Where this has occurred the City Council has waived
associated City fees in support of the events.
The City Council has also established a Community Benefits Fund with the objectives of
partnering with the community to support shared outcomes and fostering community
involvement and participation, with priority established for proposals that highlight youth
programs and community events.
This year, the Foundation received a $2,000 grant from the Community Benefits Fund.
The grant amount was not sufficient to cover filing and permitting fees and other costs
associated with the event. The filing and permitting fees for this annual event is
$545.00. The Foundation is requesting the City waive the fees. The Foundation has
submitted a check to the City, which is being held pending this action.
The Foundation of Grand Terrace is an affiliate of the Community Foundation serving
Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. The
Foundation was founded to develop resources that would strengthen the community
and has formed several committees to better address specific programs and projects.
Committees, such as the Special Events Committee and the Veteran’s Memorial
Committee, are volunteers who offer their time and expertise to accomplish certain
community projects.
The City Council is authorized to waive these fees, if it so chooses.
FISCAL IMPACT:
A fiscal impact of up to $545.00 To the General Fund would be realized if this fee waiver

request is approved by Council.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 28, 2016 Council Item
TITLE: Opposition to State Senate Bill 1387 - South Coast Air
Quality Management District
PRESENTED BY: Sandra Molina, Planning & Development Services Director
RECOMMENDATION: 1) Authorize the Mayor to send a letter opposing SB
1387 (de Leon), as submitted or revised; and
2) Authorize the Mayor to send additional opposition
letters to this and other proposed legislation related to this
subject.
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports our 2030 Mission: To preserve and protect our community and
its exceptional quality of life through thoughtful planning, within the constraints of fiscally
responsible government.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
State Senate Bill 1387 (SB 1387) would require air quality management district
boards (AQMD) to submit to the State Air Resources Board (ARB) for review and
approval: 1) the District's plan for attainment of state and federal ambient air quality
standards revisions to that plan; and 2) the district's market-based incentive program
and any revisions to that program. More importantly, the Bill would also specifically
add State-voting members to the South Coast Air Quality Management District
(SCAQMD) Board of Director's, which is a regional board that covers Grand Terrace,
along with other cities within San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, and Los Angeles
counties.
The primary objection to the proposed Bill is the increase in the State-appointed voting
members. SB 1387 is a State takeover of a locally elected, regional board. Opposition
is recommended for the following key reasons:
Attacks Local Control. SB 1387 attacks local control and local government’s
voice by bestowing State-appointed representatives almost 40% of the seats on
a regional board meant to represent local interests.
Bypasses the Democratic Process. Over 75 percent of the SCAQMD Board
is composed of mayors, council members and county supervisors - all
directly elected by voters. For increased transparency, the five City Selection
5
Packet Pg. 48
appointments are elected in open meetings by each of the four counties’ City
Selection Committees. SB 1387 bypasses the public’s participation by adding
additional State appointees to the SCAQMD Board, a process conducted
outside the region which the SCAQMD Board
State Representation Already Exists. SB 1387 is not necessary. Current law
already provides appointments for the Governor, the Senate Committee on
Rules, and the Speaker of the Assembly on the SCAQMD Board to represent
any State interests.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund by opposing Senate Bill 1387.

Sacramento, CA 94249-0047
RE: SB 1387 (de León) South Coast Air Quality Management District as
Amended April 7, 2016.
Notice of OPPOSITION
Dear Assemblymember Brown:
The City of Grand Terrace City Council opposes SB 1387 because it would dilute local
control over the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) by adding
three additional voting members appointed by the Governor, the Senate Committee on
Rules, and the Speaker of the Assembly.
SB 1387 would tip the scales of equity by giving state-selected representatives almost 40
percent of the seats on a regional board that is meant to represent local interests and is
currently represented by city and county officials from the four counties SCAQMD
serves.
This legislation would also significantly weaken the SCAQMD’s ability to utilize its
innovative cap-and-trade system to achieve cost-effective emissions reductions in
Southern California by requiring California Air Resources Board approval of any
changes.
In addition, SB 1387 bypasses public participation by adding more Sacramento political
appointments to the board. Other than the three current state appointees, the SCAQMD
board is made up of county supervisors, mayors, and council members – all elected by
local voters. Additionally, the five City Selection appointments are elected in open
meetings at each of the four counties’ City Selection Committees.
The City of Grand Terrace City Council supports transparency, good governance, and
the highest ethical standards for all public officials. There is no evidence the SCAQMD
board violated any of these values to warrant legislative intervention. Ultimately, our

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 28, 2016 Council Item
TITLE: Zoning Code Amendment 15-01 Establishing Repealing and
Replacing Chapter 18.80 Signs
PRESENTED BY: Sandra Molina, Planning & Development Services Director
RECOMMENDATION: 1) Find that the adoption of the herein ordinance is
exempt from CEQA review pursuant to Section 15061 (b)(3)
(General Rule) of the CEQA Guidelines, in that it can be
seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the
passage of this Ordinance will have a significant effect on
the environment; and
2) Waive further reading and Introduce AN
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
GRAND TERRACE, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING ZONING
CODE AMENDMENT 15-01, TO AMEND TITLE 18 OF THE
GRAND TERRACE MUNICIPAL CODE BY REPEALING
AND REPLACING CHAPTER 18.80 SIGNS IN ITS
ENTIRETY AND AMENDING TITLE 5, CHAPTER 5.40
GARAGE SALES BY REVISING SECTION 5.40.070
SIGNS
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This item supports Goal #3, "Promote Economic Development", by updating the Sign
Code and aligning it with the City's 2030 Vision and Economic Development
Implementation Plan.
BACKGROUND:
On April 26, 2016, the City Council conducted a public hearing and voted to introduce
and move to second reading adoption of a new Sign Code Ordinance. On May 10,
2016, the Sign Code was presented to the Council with proposed language for
consideration to allow temporary commercial signs in the public right of way.
Many public comments were received by local realtors supporting the provisions to
allow temporary commercial signs. They did express that either concern with the
maximum number of signs permitted (7), or the distance requirements between signs.
The Council voted to direct staff to return for first reading with a revised Ordinance that
addresses the concerns expressed by the public comment, relating to temporary
6
Packet Pg. 59
commercial signs.
DISCUSSION:
Subsequent to the May 26th, Council meeting, Staff met with local realtor Margie Miller
to discuss the provisions that were presented to Council, particularly the two areas
already identified above. Mrs. Miller suggested that rather than limiting the number of
signs per open house, consider increasing the number of signs and allowing each
agency to then determine how the signs would be used based on open houses that
would be conducted. Mrs. Miller also suggested a distance of 1,000 feet between signs,
except that signs could be closer when they are giving direction.
Revisions to the proposed Sign Ordinance have been made and it is presented for the
Council’s consideration.
Section 18.80.050.D Temporary Off-Site Commercial Signs has been modified so that a
maximum number of 25 signs per licensed entity (i.e. real estate agency) could be
utilized for open houses. The agency then has the flexibility to determine how many
signs are effective for the number of open houses. Although the discussion has focused
on open house signs, keep in mind that these provisions would be applicable to other
activities that meet the code provisions, such as garage sale signs.
With regard to separation between signs, Staff recommends deletion of this provision.
The separation did not apply to signs pertaining to different properties, and given that
each agency would be allowed up to 25 signs, it is expected that the placement of signs
would be strategic, to maximize their use.
There was also a short discussion during the meeting on temporary on-site banner/flag
signs in commercial areas. The current sign code allows temporary banners/flags to be
displayed for 45 days in a 90 day period, not to exceed a total of 120 days.
The proposed ordinance allows such signs to be placed for 120 days, with a 30 day
extension (total 150 days) during the calendar year. The days either run consecutively,
or, if intermittently, the display must be in at least 60 day intervals. These provisions
allow the temporary sign to be displayed for a longer consecutive period than before
and only one permit is needed. Staff is not recommending any changes to these
provisions.
Conclusion
As the Council may recall, the sign update process began in 2014 with several
workshops and hearings before both the City Council and Planning Commission. The
impetus of this exercise was dissatisfaction by business owners with the sign code as it
primarily related to temporary banners and window signs, and the City’s enforcement.
6
Packet Pg. 60
Given the age of the sign code, it was agreed that it needed to be comprehensively
updated so that clear regulations would be established for both the community and City
staff, and also that the focus would be on temporary commercial sign regulations
(windows and banners). The proposed ordinance streamlines the permitting process for
these signs. Window signs will be permitted without requiring a sign permit; and the
ordinance would allow banners for up to 150 days under one temporary sign permit.
Although the revisions were more comprehensive than expected, due to Reed v. Town
of Gilbert, and resulted in the elimination of content based provisions staff was able to
offset their deletion by narrowly crafting new provisions to address these areas.
The proposed sign code is a modern set of constitutional regulations compliant with sign
law. Staff believes that the proposed code strikes the balance between the City's desire
to promote aesthetically pleasing, vision-compliant signage and a business's desire to
effectively promote itself.
Therefore, introduction of the ordinance for adoption is recommended.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND
TERRACE, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING ZONING CODE AMENDMENT
15-01, TO AMEND TITLE 18 OF THE GRAND TERRACE MUNICIPAL
CODE BY REPEALING AND REPLACING CHAPTER 18.80 SIGNS IN
ITS ENTIRETY AND AMENDING TITLE 5, CHAPTER 5.40 GARAGE
SALES BY REVISING SECTION 5.40.070 SIGNS
WHEREAS, the City of Grand Terrace, pursuant to its police power, has the
authority to take appropriate action to address concerns regarding traffic safety and
aesthetics, as they relate to signs (Metromedia Inc. v. City of San Diego, 453 U.S. 490
(1981)); and
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes that signs constitute speech protected
by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution and by Art. 1, Sec. 2, of the
Constitution of the State of California and that its regulation of signs must be consistent
with these protections; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that an uncontrolled proliferation of signs
within the City is harmful to the public’s health, safety and welfare, in that such signs are
aesthetically displeasing and constitute a traffic hazard, as drivers will be distracted by
attempting to read an excessive number of signs that are placed in a haphazard
manner; and
WHEREAS, the City has a substantial interest in regulating signs in the manner
set forth in this Ordinance, and the regulations modified and adopted hereby further the
City’s substantial interests in traffic safety and aesthetics, in particular (National
Advertising Co. v. City of Orange, 861 F.2d 246, 248 (9th Cir. 1988); Foti v. City of
Menlo Park, 146 F.3d 629 (9th Cir. 1998)); and
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes that businesses have an interest in
having signage that effectively advertises goods or services, and that is visible to
potential customers; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the citizens of Grand Terrace and
members of the public have an interest in identifying businesses, and the goods and
services they provide; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the citizens of Grand Terrace and visitors
to the City have a substantial interest in visiting, living and working in an aesthetically
pleasing city; and

WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the citizens of Grand Terrace and all
those who travel in and through the City have a substantial interest in traffic safety
within the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the City can balance its interests in
aesthetics and traffic safety with the interests of businesses and consumers by limiting
off-premises commercial signs, and by limiting the time, place, and manner of
placement of commercial signs on commercial lots; and
WHEREAS, commercial speech can be regulated more stringently than
noncommercial speech; however, the City Council does recognize the need of
businesses in the City to reasonably advertise their goods and services visibly and
effectively; and
WHEREAS, this ordinance relating to the regulation of signs includes a
statement of purpose regarding the City’s substantial interest sought to be implemented
by the regulations (Desert Outdoor Advertising, Inc. v. City of Moreno Valley, 103 F.3d
814, 819 n.2 (9th Cir. 1996), cert. denied, 522 U.S. 912 (1997); Central Hudson Gas &
Electric Corp. v. Public Service Commission of New York, 447 U.S. 557 (1980)); and
WHEREAS, the City intends, by adoption of these regulations, to eliminate any
exemptions and/or regulations of signs based on content, in order that its sign
regulations are content-neutral and entitled to the least restrictive constitutional analysis
(see, e.g., National Advertising Co. v. City of Orange, 861 F.2d 246 (1987) (content
based exemptions rendered the entire ordinance content based because the content of
the sign’s message determines whether or not a particular sign is prohibited or
permitted); Simon & Schuster, Inc. v. Members of N.Y. State Crime Victims Bd., 502
U.S. 105 (1991); Police Department of the City of Chicago v. Mosley, 408 U.S. 92
(1972)); and
WHEREAS, these regulations allow on-site commercial signage while limiting off-
site advertising signs, the City Council having found that onsite commercial speech is
more valuable than offsite commercial speech, as permitted in Outdoor Systems, Inc. v.
City of Mesa, 997 F.2d 604, 611 (9th Cir. 1993) and Metromedia Inc. v. City of San
Diego, 453 U.S. 490 (1981); and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that, because signs are speech protected by
the United States and the California Constitutions, detailed procedures are necessary to
ensure that permits are issued or denied based on objective criteria and expeditiously
with the due process of law; and
WHEREAS, a message substitution provision has been added to the City’s sign
regulations, allowing any sign regulated by the new provisions of this Ordinance to
display a noncommercial message, so that the City’s regulations satisfy the
constitutional mandate that it not restrict noncommercial signage to a greater degree
than commercial signage.(see Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. v. City of Los Angeles, 340
F.3d 810 (9th Cir. 2003); Outdoor Systems, Inc. v. City of Mesa, 997 F.2d 604 (9th Cir.

WHEREAS, the City Council finds that a proliferation of temporary signs in the
public right-of-way can be detrimental to the aesthetic quality of the streets and
sidewalks, can interfere with traffic safety, pedestrian access to public sidewalks and
streets, and can obstruct the entrance to businesses and residences; and
WHEREAS, the City Council specifically finds that temporary commercial signs
are signs that relate to businesses for which on-premises signage do not provide
adequate advertising of the goods or services sold because for many businesses is
such that effective advertising by way of permanent on-premises signage is impractical:
the business is of a transitory and temporary nature, the business' primary and most
effective way to notify people of the available goods or services is by directing passers-
by to the location of the goods or services, and the business does not have a fixed
place of business or the goods or services themselves cannot practically be viewed
and/or sold out of one business location or any business location; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that human advertisements (as defined in this
ordinance) within public rights of way, constitute a traffic hazard by their conduct, which
distracts the attention of drivers away from the road and to a business or service; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that prohibiting commercial conduct that is
intended to, or that does in fact, attract the attention of drivers, furthers the city’s
substantial interest in traffic safety (see, e.g., Sanctity of Life Network v. California
Highway Patrol, 105 Cal. App. 4th 858, 862 (2003) (holding that protected First
Amendment speech can be restricted if it interferes with traffic,)).
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND

Section 18.80.010 Findings
The City Council finds all of the following:
A. The City, pursuant to its police power, has the authority to take
appropriate action to address concerns regarding traffic safety and aesthetics, as they
relate to signs (Metromedia Inc. v. City of San Diego, 453 U.S. 490 (1981)); and
B. Signs constitute speech protected by the First Amendment of the United
States Constitution and by Art. 1, Sec. 2, of the Constitution of the State of California
and that its regulation of signs must be consistent with these protections; and
C. An uncontrolled proliferation of signs within the City is harmful to the
public’s health, safety and welfare, in that such signs are aesthetically displeasing and
constitute a traffic hazard, as drivers will be distracted by attempting to read an
excessive number of signs that are placed in a haphazard manner; and
D. The City has a substantial interest in regulating signs and the regulations
within this chapter further the City’s substantial interests in traffic safety and aesthetics,
consistent with National Advertising Co. v. City of Orange, 861 F.2d 246, 248 (9th Cir.
1988); and Foti v. City of Menlo Park, 146 F.3d 629 (9th Cir. 1998).); and
E. Businesses have an interest in having signage that effectively advertises
its goods or services, and is visible to potential customers; and
F. City residents and residents and visitors have an interest in identifying
businesses, and the goods and services they provide; and
G. City residents and visitors have a substantial interest in visiting, living and
working in an aesthetically pleasing city; and
H. City residents and visitors have a substantial interest in traffic safety within
the City.
I. The City has properly balanced its interests in aesthetics and traffic safety
with the interests of businesses and consumers by limiting off-site commercial signs,

and by limiting the time, place, and manner of placement of commercial signs on
commercial lots; and
J. Commercial speech can be regulated more stringently than
noncommercial speech; however, the City Council recognizes the need of businesses in
the City to reasonably advertise their goods and services visibly and effectively; and
K. The City Council intends this Chapter to ensure its regulations are
content-neutral and are the least restrictive means to achieve the goals set for the
herein (see e.g., Reed v. Town of Gilbert, 135 S.Ct. 2218 (2015); and
L. These regulations allow on-site commercial signage while limiting off-site
advertising signs, the City Council having found that onsite commercial speech is more
valuable than offsite commercial speech, as permitted in Outdoor Systems, Inc. v. City
of Mesa, 997 F.2d 604, 611 (9th Cir. 1993) and Metromedia Inc. v. City of San Diego,
453 U.S. 490 (1981); and
M. Because signs are speech protected by the United States and the
California Constitutions, detailed procedures are necessary to ensure that permits are
expeditiously issued or denied based on objective criteria and consistent with due
process of law; and
N. A message substitution provision has been added to the City’s sign
regulations, allowing any sign regulated by the new provisions of this Ordinance to
display a noncommercial message, so that the City’s regulations satisfy the
constitutional mandate that it not restrict noncommercial signage to a greater degree
than commercial signage.(see Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. v. City of Los Angeles, 340
F.3d 810 (9th Cir. 2003); Outdoor Systems, Inc. v. City of Mesa, 997 F.2d 604 (9th Cir.
1993); and
O. Proliferation of temporary signs in the public right-of-way can be
detrimental to the aesthetic quality of the streets and sidewalks, can interfere with traffic
safety, pedestrian access to public sidewalks and streets, and can obstruct the entrance
to businesses and residences; and
P. Temporary commercial signs are signs that relate to businesses for which
on-premises signage do not provide adequate advertising of the goods or services sold
because for many businesses is such that effective advertising by way of permanent on-
premises signage is impractical: the business is of a transitory and temporary nature,
the business' primary and most effective way to notify people of the available goods or
services is by directing passers-by to the location of the goods or services, and the
business does not have a fixed place of business or the goods or services themselves
cannot practically be viewed and/or sold out of one business location or any business
location; and
Q. Human advertisements (as defined in this ordinance) within public rights of
way, constitute a traffic hazard by their conduct, which distracts the attention of drivers
away from the road and to a business or service; and

R. Prohibiting commercial conduct that is intended to, or that does in fact,
attract the attention of drivers, furthers the city’s substantial interest in traffic safety (see,
e.g., Sanctity of Life Network v. California Highway Patrol, 105 Cal. App. 4th 858, 862
(2003) (holding that protected First Amendment speech can be restricted if it interferes
with traffic)).
18.80.020 Purpose.
A. These regulations are intended to protect the public health, safety, and welfare and
provide for the integrity and preservation of community aesthetics through modern
implementation of a uniform set of rules and regulations. The City of Grand
Terrace recognizes and, strongly supports, the needs of merchants and property
owners to identify their businesses through signage and other means of
advertisement. The city, further, recognizes that size, placement, number, and
design of signs significantly influences the general perception of both the
community’s visual environment and its economic health, and that signs should not
become visual distractions along public roadways. In addition, these regulations
are intended to accomplish the following:
1. Promote an economically stable and visually attractive community consistent
with the City’s goals and strategies.
2. Promote signs and graphics that are attractive, pleasing, and harmonized with
the physical character of the environment and surrounding properties, while
serving the identification needs of the business community.
3. Eliminate visual clutter while providing reasonable opportunities for adequate
identification of businesses and the goods and services they offer.
4. Prevent an inadvertent favoring of commercial speech over noncommercial
speech.
5. Direct the proper design and location of signs to reduce, or eliminate,
potential hazards and promote the safe movement of vehicles and
pedestrians throughout the city.
6. Direct persons to various activities and enterprises in order to provide for
maximum public convenience.
18.80.030 Policies for sign regulations.
The following policies regarding signage in the city are established:
A. Regulatory Interpretations. The requirements of this chapter shall not be
interpreted to nullify any easements, covenants, or other private agreements that
provide for more restrictive sign regulations than are required by this chapter.
B. Message Neutrality. It is the city’s policy and intent to regulate signs in a
viewpoint-neutral and/or content-neutral manner. The message of the sign shall

not be reviewed except to the minimum extent necessary to identify the type of
sign.
C. Message Substitution. A noncommercial message of any type may be substituted
in whole or in part for the message displayed on any sign for which the sign
structure or mounting device is authorized pursuant to this chapter. The purpose
of this requirement is to prevent any inadvertent favoring of commercial speech
over noncommercial speech, or favoring of any particular noncommercial message
over any other noncommercial message.
D. In no instance may commercial or non commercial messages contain “obscene
matter” as defined in California Penal Code section 311.
E. General Prohibition. Any permanent or temporary sign not expressly permitted by
this chapter is prohibited.
F. Off-site signs are prohibited, unless specifically authorized by this Chapter.

definition, abandonment for the applicable period shall be deemed conclusive
evidence of abandonment regardless of the property, business, or sign

18. Signs that are dilapidated, abandoned, in disrepair or in a dangerous
condition.
Section 18.80.130 General Provisions
This section describes the provisions applicable to all signs regulated by this
chapter. Certain types of signs may also be subject to additional provisions.
A. Sign Area Measurement Procedures. Sign area shall be computed by including
the entire area within a single, continuous, rectilinear perimeter of not more than
eight (8) straight lines, or a circle or an ellipse, enclosing the extreme limits of the
writing, representation, emblem, or other display, together with any material or
color forming an integral part of the background of the display or used to
differentiate the sign from the backdrop or structure against which it is placed, but
not including any supporting framework or bracing that is clearly incidental to the
display itself. Backing plates shall count as part of the sign area unless they are
transparent. In the case of two-sided, multi-sided, or three-dimensional signs, the
area shall be computed as including the maximum single display surface which is
visible from any ground position at one time.
B. Sign Height Measurement. Sign height shall be measured as the greatest vertical
distance measured from the grade at the point the sign supports intersect the
ground and any accompanying architectural features of the sign. However, if the
sign is constructed upon an artificial berm, the height of the signs, as measured
from the toe of slope or berm, shall not exceed one hundred twenty-five percent
(125%) of the maximum height allowed by this chapter.
Where constructed on an artificial berm, the
maximum height cannot exceed 125% of the
allowing sign height.

C. Calculation.
1. For wall signs, the permitted area for any sign shall be calculated based only
on the frontage or side of a building on which the sign is located.
2. When more than one business is located in a building, the allowable sign area
for each business shall be based upon the length of the lineal building
frontage occupied by that business.
D. Construction Requirements. Every sign and all parts, portions, and materials
thereof shall be manufactured, assembled, and erected in compliance with all
applicable state, federal, and city laws and regulations, including the locally
adopted building code. All signs shall comply with the following criteria:
1. All transformers, equipment, programmers, and other related items shall be
screened and/or painted to match the building or shall be concealed within
the sign.
2. All permanent signs shall be constructed of quality, low-maintenance
materials such as metal, concrete, natural stone, glass, and acrylics.
Techniques shall be incorporated during construction to reduce fading and
damage caused by exposure to sunlight or degradation due to other
elements. The application of graffiti resistant coating is recommended.
3. All freestanding signs that incorporate lighting shall have underground utility
service.
4. All temporary signs and banners shall be made of a material designed to
maintain an attractive appearance for as long as the sign is displayed.
E. Clearance from Public Utility Facilities. The person erecting a sign, and the owner
of the premises, shall maintain any legally required clearance from
communications and electric facilities. A sign may not be constructed, erected,
installed, maintained, or repaired in any manner that conflicts withany rule,
regulation, or order of the California Public Utilities Commission pertaining to the
construction, operation, and maintenance of public utilities facilities.
F. Interference with Motorist Field of Vision.
1. No sign shall be located in a manner which may obstruct or interfere with the
view of a traffic signal or other traffic regulatory signs.
2. No sign shall, as determined by the city engineer, be located so as to create a
hazard to the life or property of any person using the public right-of-way.
3. Any required landscaping may be trimmed as needed to provide maximum
visibility of the sign or signs.
4. Signs shall not be located within the clear sight triangle.

G. Obstruction of Passage.
1. No sign shall be constructed so as to obstruct any required exit, including
windows, doors, fire escapes or other emergency exit of any building.
2. No sign shall be constructed or located so as to obstruct any sidewalk.
H. Sign Siting.
1. Location of Signs Attached to Buildings. Building signs may be located along
any frontage of a building that faces directly onto a public right-of-way or an
internal parking area of the site. Where the building is within 100 feet of a
residential use, signs shall not be illuminated.
2. Setback and Spacing of Freestanding Signs.
a. Where a setback exists, the minimum setback distance for freestanding
signs shall be measured from the back of the public right-of-way or side
of a driveway.
b. The minimum spacing distance between permanent freestanding signs,
excluding on-site directory signs, shall be 50 feet. The director will
review a proposed sign location on a case-by-case basis to ensure the
sign is located outside the required clear sight triangle and does not
otherwise inhibit motorist safety
I. Maintenance Requirements. Every sign, and all parts, portions, and materials
thereof shall be maintained and kept in proper repair. The display surface of all
signs shall be kept clean, neatly painted, and free from rust and corrosion. Any
cracked, broken surfaces, malfunctioning lights, missing sign copy, or other poorly
maintained or damaged portions of a sign shall be repaired or replaced within 30
days following notification by the city.
J. Sign Removal or Replacement. When a sign is removed or replaced, all brackets,
poles, and other structural elements that support the sign shall also be removed.
Affected building surfaces shall be restored to match the adjacent portion of the
structure. This requirement does not apply to routine maintenance.
K. Electronic Signs. The city finds and declares that a proliferation of electronic
display signs throughout the city, and especially located on arterial streets pose a
danger to the motoring public because of potential distraction from their change of
message, scale, format, and other physical qualities that differentiate them from
other sign types. Therefore, the City through this Sign Code limits electronic signs
to be displayed only in specified areas of freeway corridors, where the impacts on
driver safety are minimized. All electronic display signs existing in the city as of the
effective date of this ordinance, unless specifically permitted by this Code, are
declared legal nonconforming signs and may continue to operate in accordance
with section 18.80.220 (Nonconforming and abandoned signs)

materials shall be permitted. Lettering, logos and other sign content shall be
professionally prepared and shall appear uniform and legible.
3. Sign Illumination. The artificial illumination of signs, either from an internal or
external source, shall be designed so as not to cast stray light on surrounding
rights-of-way and properties. The following requirements shall apply to all
illuminated signs:
a. External light sources shall be directed and shielded to limit direct
illumination of an object other than the sign.
b. The light from an illuminated sign shall not be of an intensity or
brightness that will create glare or other negative impacts on residential
properties in direct line of sight to the sign.
c. Signs exceeding one (1) square foot in size shall not have blinking,
flashing, or fluttering lights, or other illumination devices that have a
changing light intensity, brightness, or color.

of sign area (one side only)
B. Development and Design Standards for Specific Sign Types. In addition to the
general sign design requirements in subsection 18.80.140.A above, the following
requirements shall apply to the specific sign types:
1. Awning and Canopy Signs. Awning and canopy signs may be permitted only
as an integral part of the awning or canopy to which they are attached or
applied and shall be considered wall signs for signage area calculation
purposes. The following requirements shall apply:
a. Only permanent signs that are an integral part of the awning or
architectural projection shall be allowed. Temporary signs shall not be
placed on awnings.
b. Awning signs shall only be allowed for first- and second-story
occupancies.
2. Freestanding and Directory Signs. Monument signs shall only be permitted
as follows:
a. Voids between the sign face and the sign structure are prohibited. The
sign face shall utilize the full width of the sign structure or coverings that
are architecturally consistent with the rest of the sign to fill any voids.
b. Materials and design for freestanding signs shall be complementary to
the materials and design of the buildings for the related development.
For example, if the façade of the building is stucco with stone or stone
veneer, a complementary freestanding sign would also include stucco
and stone. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any other provision of this
Chapter, nothing in this Chapter shall require the alternation of a
federally registered service mark.
c. For freestanding signs in multi-tenant centers, the name of the center
shall not be calculated in the maximum sign area. Rather, the name of
the center shall have a separate maximum sign area of 8 square feet. All
tenant signs shall have a minimum letter height of eight inches (8”). The

Section 18.80.150 Development standards for permanent on-site signs.
The provisions in this section provide the development standards for on-site signs on
private property. Regulations are listed based upon zoning district and sign type.
A. Format and Organization of Standards. The signage standards listed below are
summarized, where applicable, in table format for ease of use and organization.
Concepts described in these tables are as follows:
1. Sign Area Allowance. Allowable sign area is either a set square footage per
establishment or is based on a ratio of allowable sign area to building
frontage (e.g., one square foot of sign per one lineal foot of building frontage,
or 1 sqft:1 lf). Where a ratio is described, it applies to the maximum
permissible sign area listed in this section.
2. Mixed-Use Zoning Districts. In mixed-use zoning districts, signage for
residential uses shall be consistent with the standards for residential zoning
districts (e.g., as if the development were in a residential zoning district). For
nonresidential uses, signs shall be consistent with the standards for
commercial and office zoning districts.
B. All signs shall conform to applicable provisions of section 18.80.140 Design
standards.

USE ELEMENT
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
A compliant Housing Element supports Goal #1, Ensuring Fiscal Viability and Goal #3,
Promote Economic Development by providing an internally consistent General Plan.
BACKGROUND:
State law requires that each city’s General Plan include a Housing Element, which
provides an overarching statement of City policies and programs for maintaining and
7
Packet Pg. 112
improving existing housing, and accommodating development of new housing to meet
the needs of the region’s growing population
Housing Elements are reviewed the California Department of Housing and Community
Development (“HCD”) to determine their compliance with state law. A finding of
compliance by HCD is referred to as Housing Element “certification.”
In January 2014 the City Council adopted the 2013-2021 Housing Element, and HCD
found that additional revisions are required in order to fully comply with state
requirements. The most significant issue raised by HCD was the availability of sites with
appropriate zoning to accommodate the City’s share of new housing assigned in the
Regional Housing Needs Assessment (“RHNA”).
On October 13, 2015 the City Council received a staff report regarding the status of the
Housing Element and directed staff to prepare an amended Housing Element that
addresses the comments of HCD. John Douglas, the City’s Housing Consultant,
consulted with HCD several times, identified revisions to the Housing Element, and
provided a draft Element for HCD review HCD informed the City that the adopted
Housing Element must include a program for rezoning sites to accommodate the RHNA
allocation, and the rezoning must be complete prior to the Housing Element being found
in full compliance with state law
Staff has identified changes to the Housing Element, the General Plan Land Use
Element and Map; and to the Zoning Code and Zoning Map, which Staff believes would
result in certified Housing Element.
Staff presented these changes to the Planning Commission at a properly noticed public
hearing on April 21, 2016, and the Commission voted to recommend City Council
approval.
DISCUSSION:
Adequate Sites to Accommodate the RHNA (Program 2)
A key provision of state housing law is that every city must zone sufficient land for multi-
family housing to accommodate its RHNA. When sufficient sites are not identified, land
must be rezoned to create additional capacity for multi-family housing. It is important to
note that state law does not require cities to achieve their RHNA allocations, but
adequate sites with appropriate zoning must be available to accommodate development
commensurate with the RHNA.
Based on the City’s 2013-2021 RHNA allocation in the low and lower income categories
of 47 units and the City’s unaccommodated need of 11 units from the previous cycle, a
total of 58 units needs to be accommodated. However, there is one existing site zoned
R3-20 that can support 16 units, reducing the unmet need to 42 units.
To address the current shortfall, Program 2 in the Housing Plan calls for land use and
zoning amendments for the candidate sites listed in Table 8.30b of the Housing
Element, shown below.

Total 5.06 100
These sites were selected based on staff’s assessment of their size and suitability for
higher-density residential use, compatibility of the proposed zoning designations with
adjacent properties, and proximity to commercial services and transportation routes.
Other changes to the Housing Element are shown in the attached Housing Element and
shown in redline. Upon adoption, the final resolution will contain an unmarked copy of
the Housing Element.
Amendment to the Land Use Element/Map and Zoning Code/Map
To effectuate the re-designations identified in Housing Program 2, the General Plan
Element and Map; and the Zoning Code and Zoning Map would need to be amended.
The the following proposed actions are reflected in the City Council resolution
(Attachment 3) and ordinance (Attachment 4).
Amend Land Use Element Table 2.3 (General Plan Land Use Designations) to
change the maximum density in the Medium High Density Residential (MHDR)
designation from 20 to 24 units/acre.
Amend the General Plan Land Use Map to re-designate Site 1 (12201 Michigan
St.) from LDR to MHDR.
Amend the General Plan Land Use Map to apply the R3-24 Overlay designation
to the parcels in Site 2.
Amend the Zoning Map to re-designate Site 1 from R1-7.2 to R3-24.
Amend the Zoning Map to apply the R3-24 Overlay designation to the parcels in
Site 2.
7
Packet Pg. 114
Amend the Zoning Code to create a new R3-24 district allowing multi-family
development with a density range of 20 to 24 units/acre.
Amend the Zoning Code to create a new R3-24 Overlay designation allowing
multi-family development at a density of 20 to 24 units/acre when at least 5%
very-low-income or 10% low-income units are provided as an optional alternative
to the base zoning designation.
Regarding the re-zoning, Staff contacted the property owners of the candidate sites
listed above. Staff spoke with three of the four properties and they have provided their
consent. Staff was unable to make contact with the fourth property owner; however,
staff sent a letter directly the owner informing of the proposed Overlay District, and
public hearing notices were also mailed. No objections have been received.
The R3-24 Overlay is a designation that would be added on top of the existing R-2
zoning. The R-2 zoning would remain in place, and the property can continue to be
used as it has been, and can be developed to R-2 standards. The Overlay provides the
flexibility and opportunity for the property to be develop with residential units at a density
between 20-24 units per acre, in accordance with the Overlay designation.
Multi-family parking requirements (Program 12)
City zoning regulations currently require one of the required parking spaces for multi-
family units to be provided in a garage. HCD has indicated that this garage requirement
is a constraint that adversely affects the cost and supply of housing. Alternatives to the
garage requirement would include the use of carports, which is proposed. The
Highlands and the Senior Villas are examples of uses with carport parking.
At the Planning Commission hearing, concerns were raised regarding the potential
effects on security if garage parking is reduced or eliminated. However, current
regulations only require that one of the parking spaces be enclosed in a garage,
therefore carports or open parking is already permitted for most multi-family units. In
addition, security concerns can be addressed through thoughtful site planning and
CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) principles in consultation
with the Sheriff’s Department.
Transitional and supportive housing (Program 13)
Transitional and supportive housing are intended for persons with disabilities or other
special needs and are typically operated by non-profit organizations. State law requires
cities to allow transitional and supportive housing subject to the same restrictions as
apply to other residential dwellings of the same type in the same zone. The Zoning
Code currently allows these types of housing only in the R2 and R3 zones by
conditional use permit. The proposed amendment would revise the Zoning Code in
conformance with state requirements.
Definition of family (Program 13)
The Zoning Code defines family as “an individual or two or more persons related by
7
Packet Pg. 115
blood, marriage or adoption, or a group of not more than six persons, excluding
servants, who are not related by blood, marriage or adoption, living together in a
dwelling unit.” State law precludes cities from distinguishing between related persons
and unrelated persons living as a “single housekeeping unit” in zoning regulations
relating to families. The proposed amendment would revise this definition consistent
with current fair housing law.
Other revisions
In addition to the four issues described above, other administrative or clerical revisions
were made that do not require a change in City policies or regulations.
PUBLIC NOTICE:
Notice of the public hearing was published in the Grand Terrace City News and posted
in three locations 10 days prior to the hearing. Notice of the hearing was also sent to
organizations that may have an interest in housing issues as noted in Section 8.1 of the
Housing Element, and to property owners within 300 feet of Sites 1 and 2.
At the Planning Commission public hearing, verbal comments were offered by three
other residents who expressed general concerns regarding higher densities within Site
2. In response to those comments as well as questions from the Commission, staff and
the City Attorney noted that state law establishes specific requirements on local
governments regarding minimum densities that must be allowed.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
A Final EIR was certified by the City Council on April 27, 2010 for the Grand Terrace
General Plan. The revisions proposed to the draft Housing Element would not result in
new significant environmental impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of
impacts analyzed in the General Plan EIR, therefore an Addendum has been prepared
pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164 (Attachment 5).
FISCAL IMPACT:
No impact to the General Fund.

15164 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, an Addendum to
the FEIR has been prepared for the 2013-2021 Housing Element; and
WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have
occurred.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Grand
Terrace:
1. The City Council hereby finds that the Addendum to the General Plan Final
Environmental Impact Report prepared for the 2013-2021 Housing Element
satisfies the requirements of CEQA because:
a. No substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require
major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified significant effects;
b. No substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under
which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the
previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental
effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
significant effects; and ; or
c. No new information of substantial importance, which was not known and
could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at
the time the previous EIR was certified that would show that any of the
following exists:
(i) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed
in the previous EIR;
(ii) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more
severe than shown in the previous EIR;
(iii) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be
feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce
one or more significant effects of the project, but the project
proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative;
or
(iv) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different
from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce
one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project
proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
The Addendum reflects the independent judgment of the City Council.

2. The City Council finds as follows with respect to the 2013-2021 Housing Element
Amendment:
a. The General Plan Amendment will allow the Housing Element to be
amended consistent with State law. The Housing Element is part of the
City's General Plan, which sets forth guiding policies for future
development. The requirement for each city to adopt a General Plan is
contained in California Government Code Section 65300 et seq., which
also lays out specific requirements for each element. The Housing
Element provides an overarching statement of City policies and programs
to maintain and improve existing housing, and also accommodate the
City's fair share of population growth needs. Among the requirements in
California Government Code Section 65580 et seq. for Housing Elements
are:
(i) Ensure adequate sites for new housing for persons of all income
levels;
(ii) Encourage and facilitate the development of affordable housing;
(iii) Conserve and improve the existing affordable housing stock;
(iv) Analyze and remove governmental constraints on new housing
development;
(v) Promote equal housing opportunities; and
(vi) Preserve assisted housing
b. The Housing Element Amendment promotes the Grand Terrace General
Plan and each element thereof, and leaves the General Plan a
compatible, integrated and internally consistent statement of goals and
policies. The amendment promotes Land Use Goal 2.1 to provide for
balanced growth which seeks to provide a wide range of employment and
housing opportunities and maintenance of a healthy, diversified
community.
c. Adoption of this General Plan Amendment will not be in conflict with
Section 65358(b) of the Government Code relating to the number of
amendments permitted per year, because this amendment is the first
amendment of calendar year 2016.
d. In conformance with Government Code Sec. 65585, the City Council finds
that the 2013-2021 Housing Element has been revised to fully address the
comments in HCD’s letter of January 15, 2016 in that Table 8.30b

3. Based on the findings and conclusions set forth above, as well as the written staff
reports, staff presentation and public testimony, the City Council hereby adopts
the 2013-2021 Housing Element (General Plan Amendment 16-01a) attached
hereto as Exhibit 1. The City Manager is directed to transmit the adopted Housing
Element to HCD for final review, and is further directed to make any technical or
clerical revisions to the Housing Element as may be necessary to obtain HCD’s
finding of substantial compliance.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Grand Terrace, California,
at a regular meeting held on the 28th day of June, 2016.

Housing Element
Grand Terrace General Plan Draft | April 2016 Adopted
January 28, 2014
VIII-1
8.0 HOUSING ELEMENT
8.1 INTRODUCTION
8.1.1 Purpose
The purpose of the City of Grand Terrace
Housing Element is to provide the residents,
development community and elected and
appointed officials with a clear
understanding of the City’s housing needs.
In order to achieve the ultimate goal of
ensuring that every Grand Terrace resident
secures a safe and decent place to live within
a satisfactory environment, the Housing
Element promotes a close coordination of
housing policies and programs at local, state
and federal levels.
8.1.2 Background
8.1.2.1 Function of the Element
The Housing Element functions as an integral part of the City’s efforts to manage the
development of incorporated lands. The City balances the need to ensure adequate housing for
all current and future residents against the need to provide infrastructure and services. The
Housing Element includes a description of existing housing types, the condition of existing units,
an analysis of overcrowding, overpayment, special housing needs, and the demand for affordable
housing in the City. The Element also includes a discussion of the progress made over the
previous planning period, and projections of needs for the next five eight years.
8.1.2.2 Public Participation
California law requires that local governments include public participation as part of the housing
element. Specifically, Government Code section 65583(c)(7) states “that the local government
shall make a diligent effort to achieve public participation of all economic segments of the
community in the development of the housing element, and the program shall describe this
effort.” State law does not specify the means and methods for participation; however, it is
generally recognized that the participation must be inclusive.
The Planning Commission conducted a public workshop on September 5, 2013. The workshop
provided an overview of the purpose and statutory requirements governing Housing Elements,
and its contents. Notices were posted and placed in the Blue Mountain Outlook, which is

delivered to all property owners in the City. Notices were also sent to several organizations that
have an interest in housing within the City.
Comments raised during the Planning Commission September 5th workshop included the need to
consider higher densities, and acknowledgment of the financial difficulty of developing smaller
affordable projects. It was noted that the City has established a new R3-20 zone district which
allows a density of 20 units per acre. It is a fiscal challenge to develop smaller affordable
projects, which has become more challenging with the dissolution of redevelopment agencies.
A public meeting was conducted by the City Council on September 24, 2013. Notice of this
meeting was also posted and placed in the Blue Mountain Outlook, sent to several organizations
that have an interest in housing within the City.
Duly noticed public hearings were held before the Planning Commission on January 16, 2014,
and City Council on January 28, 2014. All meetings and hearings were fully noticed per State
planning law.
After receiving comments from HCD on the adopted element a revised draft Housing Element
was prepared and circulated for public review,and public meetings were held on October 13 and
October 15, 2015. The revised element was submitted to HCD for review,and on January 15,
2016 HCD issued a letter finding the revised draft Housing Element must identify specific sites
to be rezoned and the rezoning must be complete in order for the element to fully comply with
state law.Following HCD review, a public hearing was held by the Planning Commission on
April 21, 2016 and the revised element was adopted by the City Council at a public hearing on
__________.
Notices soliciting public input at these public meetings were published in the newspaper, posted
at City Hall, and sent by email and/or direct mail to the interested parties and organizations listed
below:

Housing Element
Grand Terrace General Plan Draft | April 2016 Adopted
January 28, 2014
VIII-3
8.2 RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PLANS AND PROGRAMS
8.2.1 California Law
The California Government Code requires every City and County to prepare a Housing Element
as part of its General Plan. In addition, State law contains specific requirements for the
preparation and content of Housing Elements. According to Section 65580, the Legislature has
declared that:
(1)The availability of housing is of vital statewide importance, and the early attainment of
decent housing and a suitable living environment for every California family is a priority
of the highest order.
(2)The early attainment of this goal requires that cooperative participation of government
and the private sector in an effort to expand housing opportunities and accommodate the
housing needs of Californians of all economic levels.
(3)The provision of housing affordable to low and moderate income households requires the
cooperation of all levels of government.
(4)Local and state governments have a responsibility to use the powers vested in them to
facilitate the improvement and development of housing to make adequate provision for
the housing needs of all economic segments of the community.
(5)The legislature recognizes that in carrying out this responsibility, each local government
also has the responsibility to consider economic, environmental, and fiscal factors and
community goals set forth in the General Plan and to cooperate with other local
governments, and the state, in addressing regional housing needs.
Section 65581 of the Government Code states that the intent of the Legislature in enacting these
requirements is:
(1)To ensure that local governments recognize their responsibilities in contributing to the
attainment of the State housing goal.
(2)To ensure that cities and counties prepare and implement housing elements which, along
with federal and State programs, will move toward attainment of the State housing goal.
(3)To recognize that each locality is best capable of determining what efforts are required by
it to contribute to the attainment of the State housing goal as well as regional housing
needs.
(4)To ensure that each local government cooperates with other local governments to address
regional housing needs.

Housing Element
Grand Terrace General Plan Draft | April 2016 Adopted
January 28, 2014
VIII-4
Government Code Section 65583 outlines the required content of all housing elements including
identification and analysis of existing and projected housing needs, and a statement of goals,
policies, quantified objectives, and scheduled programs for the preservation, improvement, and
development of housing. Specific requirements include the following:
(1)An assessment of housing needs and an inventory of resources and constraints relevant to
the meeting of these needs. The analysis should include population and employment
trends; documentation of household characteristics; inventory of land suitable for
residential development; governmental and other constraints to housing development;
analysis of any special housing needs and an assessment of existing affordable housing
developments.
(2)A program which sets forth a schedule of actions the local government is undertaking or
intends to undertake to implement the policies and achieve the objectives of the housing
element in order to meet the housing needs of all economic segments of the community.
8.2.2 Relationship to Other Plans
The Housing Element is an integral part of the General Plan and holds strong relationships with
other elements. Since residential development is a primary land use in the City, it is directly tied
to the Land Use Element and must be compatible with surrounding existing and proposed land
uses. The siting of housing is also dependent upon the location of streets and transportation
systems to move people from their homes to jobs, shopping, schools, and recreation facilities and
to provide goods and services to the residences (Circulation Element). Homes must also be
located in areas free of hazards (Public Safety Element), and away from major noise generators
(Noise Element). In addition, residents are dependent upon utilities, police, fire and other public
services (Public Services & Facilities Element) and require recreation facilities (Open Space &
Conservation Element).

8.4 COMMUNITY PROFILE
To effectively determine the present and future housing needs for the City of Grand Terrace,
population variables, such as demographic and socio-economic characteristics and trends must
first be analyzed. The following description of the community of the City of Grand Terrace is a
capsulation of available data from the U.S. Census Report, data from the California Department
of Finance, projections from Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), and
various other informational sources.
8.4.1.Population Trends and Projections
8.4.1.1 Population
Population trends over the last three decades are shown in Table 8.1. Grand Terrace grew half as
much in the last decade as the one prior, at a modest 3.4%; while San Bernardino County’s
growth has remained consistent at about 20%.

Of the occupied units in the City of Grand Terrace, 63.4% are owner-occupied and 36.6% are
renter-occupied. Housing tenure is an indicator of the housing market. Communities need an
adequate supply of both to be able to provide a range of housing alternatives for households with
varying incomes, household sizes and compositions, and lifestyles. As shown in Table 8.3
below, the tenure of housing in the City of Grand Terrace is nearly identical to that in the County
of San Bernardino.

8.4.1.4 Age Characteristics
The distribution of population by age groups is an important factor in determining the general
population make up and possible future housing needs. A breakdown of the City of Grand
Terrace’s and San Bernardino County’s population by age for 2000 and 2010 is presented in
Table 8.5. As seen in this Table, the City experienced a decrease in the number of residents
between the ages of 35-49, and an increase in the percentage of residents at the age of 65 and
older.
Population by age of the County of San Bernardino is similar to that of the City, except that the
County did not experience the same growth as the City did in the 65 and older population. The
median age of County residents remains younger than that of the City, by four years.

8.4.1.5 Household Income Characteristics
Household income is a primary factor addressing housing needs in a community because the
ability of a household to afford housing is related to the household’s income.The State of
California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) surveys households in
each county on an annual basis to determine the median income. The median income is also
adjusted for households of different sizes. Households are then grouped into four income groups
for purposes of determining the need for assistance. The 2010 San Bernardino County median
income for a household of four persons is $65,000. Based on 2010 categories, these income
groups and thresholds are:

8.4.2 Employment Trends and Projections
Economic characteristics, such as the employment rate, also affect housing needs of residents.
The jobs available in each employment sector and the wages for these jobs affect the type and
size of housing residents can afford.In 2010, approximately 6,031 residents 16 years of age or
older were in the work force. The majority of City residents are employed in the management,
business and science and art industries (36.9%) and in the sales and office industries (28.8%).
According to the 2010 U.S.Census, these two categories were also the highest employment
sectors for San Bernardino County residents, 28% and 26%, respectively.
Table 8.10
Employment by Occupation Grand Terrace
Occupation Jobs Percentage
Management, business, science and art 2,225 36.9%
Service 914 15.1%
Sales and office 1,736 28.8%
Natural resources, construction, and maintenance 535 8.9%
Production, transportation, and material moving 621 10.3%
Total 6,031 100%
Source: U.S.Census, 2010
Future housing needs are affected by the number and type of new jobs created during the
planning period.Overall growth in the Riverside –San Bernardino Metropolitan Statistical Area
is expected to add 206,700 new jobs into San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, bringing the
employment numbers to 1,464,600 by 2020. This is a growth of 16.5% between 2010 and
2020.2
Generally, residents that are employed in well-paying occupations have less difficulty obtaining
adequate housing than residents in low paying occupations. Table 8.11 lists the top ten fastest
growing occupations and occupations with the most job openings between 2010 and 2020 for the
Riverside –San Bernardino MSA, along with median hourly wages and the educational level
needed to secure such occupations. The fastest growing occupations are those requiring less than
a high school education and are also low wage service jobs. Many of the new jobs created will be
in the retail and service sectors. These jobs ordinarily do not provide the income needed to buy a
new home in the City.

8.4.3 Housing Trends And Projections
8.4.3.1 Historical Residential Construction Trends
As shown in Table 8.12, the City’s housing stock grew by a modest 4% between 2000 and 2010.
Multi-family development experienced a 14.5% growth during this ten year period. Construction
of the Blue Mountain Senior Villas, Mountain Gate and Grand Canal developments account for
most of this growth.

As illustrated in Table 8.13,almost 65%of Grand Terrace’s housing units are single-family;
(62% detached and 2.7%are attached).About 29% of all units are multi-family (e.g. townhomes,
condominiums, duplexes, triplexes, etc.)and 6%are mobile homes. The overall percentage of
single-family homes in the County is higher than Grand Terrace at 7572%, while the County
percentage of multiple-family is only 1920%(Table 8.12).

8.4.3.2 Age and Condition of Residential Structures
The age of a structure has a significant effect on its physical condition. Homes generally begin
to show age after 30 years and require some level of maintenance. This typically includes roof
repair, painting, landscaping, and exterior finishes. Homes between 30 and 50 years typically
require more significant maintenance and even renovation. Generally, homes built 50 or more
years ago (unless well maintained) are more likely to require substantial repairs or need
renovation to meet current building codes. However, by itself, age is not a valid indicator of
housing condition, since proper care and continued maintenance will extend the physical and
economic life of a unit. One the other hand, a lack of normal maintenance coupled with an aging
housing stock can lead to the serious deterioration of individual units and entire neighborhoods.
Table 8.14 shows the year when housing was built in Grand Terrace. According to the 2010
Census, 54% of the City’s housing stock is between 30-50 years old.Proper and continued
maintenance of older housing is important in extending the life of a home. It also is important in
maintaining the general well-being of the surrounding neighborhoods.

An exterior windshield housing survey was conducted in March of 2008. This sample survey
was limited to those areas in the City where the housing stock is known to be older, and included
approximately 22% of the City’s housing stock.The windshield survey categorized the
condition of the housing stock into three levels: those needing no rehabilitation; those needing
moderate rehabilitation such as exterior repainting or missing roof shingles; and those needing
substantial rehabilitation, such as sagging roofs or walls.
The sample survey found that approximately 79 units may need moderate rehabilitation and only
two units may need substantial rehabilitation. This suggests that overall, for its age, the City’s
housing stock is in good condition. This estimate seems reasonable given that the housing
market was strong during 2000-2008, and rising property values encouraged homeowners to
make necessary repairs. Also, the City is proactive in ensuring that properties are well
maintained.The results of the survey are valid and adequate for the purposes of this planning
period.
The U.S. Census reports that a small percentage of housing units in the community lack
complete kitchens or bathrooms. The vast majority of housing (99%) has complete plumbing and
kitchen facilities. The quality of housing distinguishes Grand Terrace from many older
communities in the region. Nevertheless, given that the majority of the City’s housing stock was
constructed in the 1970’s and 1980’s it is likely that some level of rehabilitation will be required
during the planning period.
8.4.3.3 Overcrowding
The size of residential structures (number of rooms including bathrooms, halls, closets, and
kitchens.) is an important factor in assessing whether the housing stock is adequately
accommodating the community’s population. An average size residential unit has five rooms
(kitchen, dining/family room, living room and two bedrooms)and can accommodate a family of

up to five without being considered overcrowded. Overcrowding is said to occur when there is
more than one resident per room, excluding bathrooms, and severe overcrowding exists when
there are more than 1.5 residents per room.
According to the 2005-2009 American Community Survey, 1% of homeowners and 4% of
renters are experiencing overcrowding, substantially lower than that of the San Bernardino
County region. Although not a significant number, Table 8.15 also suggest that large family
rental housing may be needed to alleviate overcrowding.

8.4.3.4 Vacancy Rates
The residential vacancy rate, a translation of the number of unoccupied housing units on the
market, is a good indicator of the balance between housing supply and demand in a community.
When the demand for housing exceeds the available supply, the vacancy rate will be low; driving
the cost of housing upward to the disadvantage of prospective buyers or renters.
In a healthy housing market, the vacancy rate would be between 5.0 and 8.0 per cent. These
vacant units should be distributed across a variety of housing types, sizes, price ranges and
locations within the City. This allows adequate selection opportunities for households seeking
new residences.
The California Department of Finance (2010) reports a City-wide vacancy rate of 5.29%,
suggesting a healthy balance between housing supply and demand. This rate compares favorably
to the overall County vacancy rate of 12.6%.

8.4.3.5 Housing Affordability
The State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) publishes household income
limits for all counties in the State. These household limits are used for determining eligibility of household incomes
for housing programs. The 2010 income limits for San Bernardino County are summarized in Table 8.16.The
annual 2010 median income for a four-person household in San Bernardino County is $65,000.
Table 8.16
Affordable Income Ranges
(4 Person Household)
Category Percent of Median Income Income Range
Extremely Low 30% or Less of Median
Very Low 31% to 50% of Median $32,500
Low 51% -80% of Median $52,000
Moderate 81% -120% of Median $78,000
Above Moderate Over 120% of Median $78,000+
Median Income $65,000
Source: California HCD, 2010
According to State standards a household should pay no more than 30 percent of its gross income
on housing. Table 8.17 shows affordable rent and home purchase limits by income category
based on the County median income. These are maximum limits for a 4-person household and
used for discussion purposes, although it should be noted that the limits are adjusted based upon
household size. The affordability levels assume 30 percent of gross income for rent or mortgage
(principal, interest, taxes and insurance), utilities, and for home purchase a 10 percent down
payment, 1.25 percent in taxes and a 4 percent interest rate reflecting current conditions.

According to MDA Data Quick3 the median resale price for homes in Grand Terrace was
$185,000, this includes single-family and multiple-family units. Based on this median price
homeownership is affordable to low income households. According to Zillow.com4 25
townhomes or condominiums sold between May 2012 and April 2013 for an average price of
$131,000, this would mean that attached housing is affordable to very low income households.
Zillow.com also list four mobilehomes for sale ranging in price between $19,000 and $45,000,
which would be affordable to extremely low income households.This household income group
is priced out of homeownership, except for mobilehomes.
A random sampling of apartment complexes in the City showed that the market rate for one-
bedroom apartments in the City rent from $750 to $950 a month, two-bedroom units rent
between $950 and $1,266 a month, and three bedrooms at approximately $1,250.5 Zillow.com
listed an average monthly rate of $1,750 for three-bedroom homes, and $1,950 for four-bedroom
homes. Based on the range of rents for apartment housing, there are apartments available at rents
affordable to very low income households and above; whereas, lower income households are
priced out of detached single-family detached housing.
The Blue Mountain Senior Villas, was subsidized by the City’s former redevelopment agency
and most of the units are income restricted to very low and low income households.
8.4.3.6 Overpayment
A household is considered to be overpaying for housing (or cost burdened) if it spends more than
30 percent of its gross income on housing. Severe housing cost burden occurs when a household
pays more than 50 percent of its income on housing. The prevalence of overpayment varies
significantly by income, tenure, household type, and household size. Although overpayment data
by household income is not available, the impact of high housing costs typically falls
disproportionately on lower income and renter households. Table 8.18 shows that while a
greater percentage of Grand Terrace homeowners are overpaying in relation to renters, while, as
a percentage, twice as many renters are paying more than 50% of their income to pay for
housing.
Moreover, of those overpaying, 120 homeowners and 150 renters fall within the extremely low
income housing group. In the low income housing group, 72% of homeowners and 58% of
renters are overpaying.

8.5 HOUSING NEEDS
8.5.1 Existing Needs
California law requires all local governments to plan to facilitate and encourage the production
of housing to accommodate population and employment growth. To assist in that effort, SCAG
prepares a Regional Housing Needs Assessment, often referred to as the RHNA. The RHNA is a
key tool for local governments to plan for anticipated growth. The RHNA quantifies the
anticipated need for housing within each jurisdiction for an 8-year period. Communities then
determine how they will address this need through the process of updating the Housing Elements
of their General Plans
The RHNA identifies the City’s existing and future housing need broken down into four
household income categories:
“Very Low” -less than 50 percent of the median income
“Low” -50 to 80 percent of the median income;
“Moderate” -80 to 120 percent of the median income; and
“Above Moderate”-more than 120 percent of the median.
The previous planning period (2006-2013), shown in Table 8.19 below, included the following
RHNA target numbers:
Table 8.19

2006 –2013 Target
Income Level RHNA Target
Very Low 80
Low 55
Moderate 63
Above-Moderate 131
Total 329
Source: SCAG, 2008
Through the adequate sites analysis the City demonstrated that 329 dwelling units could be
accommodated through the planning period. However, in order to ensure availability of land for
lower income households, the City was required to re-zone at least 1.35 acres of land to a
minimum density of 20 dwelling units per acre to accommodate 27 low income dwelling units.
A general plan amendment and zone change to re-zone 2.52 acres to a new R3-20 (High Density
Residential) zone district was considered. However, during the public hearing process the City
only approved a zone change for 0.81 acres, which would accommodate 16 of the 27 dwelling

8.5.3 Resource Inventory
8.5.3.1 Land Inventory
State planning law requires that all
Housing Elements provide an inventory
of available land that will accommodate
the RHNA allocation. The available
properties must include the following:
Vacant residentially zoned sites
Vacant non-residentially zoned sites
that allow residential uses
Underutilized residentially zoned
sites, which are capable of being
developed at a higher density or
with greater intensity.
Non-residentially zoned sites that
can be redeveloped for and/or
rezoned for residential uses.

An inventory of all currently vacant or underutilized parcels currently zoned for residential
development or that permits residential development was prepared. Tables 8.21 through Table
8.28 lists all parcels by Assessor’s Parcel Number, current zoning and General Plan designation,
acreage, and realistic development density.
Table 8.22 Single Family Residential Hillside (RH) Zoned Properties
Parcels zoned RH are found along the west side of Blue Mountain. The permitted density within
the RH zone is one dwelling unit per acre. These parcels are characterized as large rural
residential lots on steep hilly terrain and numerous development constraints including steep
slopes, landslide potential, high fire hazards, sensitive habitat, excessive grading requirements,
limited access, and utility constraints. In consideration of the existing topography and other
physical constraints the City requires that development be subject to a specific plan or master
plan to establish site development standards such as setbacks, height limits and density, on a
project by project basis.Although the specific plan would allow flexibility in design and
development standards, these parcels are typically considered too expensive for affordable
housing due to the development constraints.Based on an analysis of the properties, the realistic
capacity within the RH zone is 72 additional single-family lots suitable for above-moderate-
income housing.

Table 8.22 Single Family Residential -20,000
sq. ft. min. (R1-20) Parcels
R1-20 parcels are typically characterized as larger
rural residential parcels at the foot of Blue
Mountain. Minimum lot size is 20,000 square feet
(1/2 acre). These parcels are typically constrained
by steeper slopes, limited access and utilities, and
high fire hazards, although not as much as
Residential Hillside (RH) lots. Non-vacant parcels
within this zone consist of older homes on large lots
that may be classified as underutilized, and that could be subdivided. Residential development
standards for the R1-20 zone district are contained in Table 8.38, and most single-family
development can meet these standards. Permissible density within this zone district is 1-2
dwelling units per acre, and approximately 57 additional above-moderate-income single-family
residential units could be accommodated in this zone district.

Table 8.23 Single Family Residential -10,000 sq. ft. min. (R1-10) Parcels
R1-10 parcels are characterized as a transition zone between the more rural R1-20 lots and
standard 7,200 square foot single-family lots. The minimum lot size is 10,000 square feet and
they are generally located along the foot of Blue Mountain in areas of milder slopes and fewer
constraints than R1-20 and RH lots.Underutilized lots in this zone district consist of large lots
with only one residential unit that could be subdivided. Permissible density within this zone
district is 1-4 dwelling units per acre. Residential development standards for this zone district
are contained in Table 8.38.For single-family development, the development standards are
typically not a constraint, and can be met. Realistic density is 3 dwelling units per acres, and the
identified parcels could support a total of 20 additional above-moderate-income housing units.

The R1-7.2 residential zone is the standard zone for typical single-family development in the
City. Lots are typically 7,200 square in size and were created in larger subdivisions. Permitted
density in this zone district is 1-5 dwelling units per acre. Residential development standards for
this zone district are contained in Table 8.38.The development standards are typical for single-
family development and similar to surrounding jurisdictions, are not a constraint to single-family
development. Remaining R1-7.2 available lots are generally older infill lots or residences on
larger lots that could be subdivided to create additional housing opportunities.Lots created
under this zone designation can be developed in accordance with the development standards, and

Table 8.25 Multi-Family Residential (R2) Parcels
R-2 zoned parcels allow for
standard single-family residential
units and lower density multi-family
residential units including duplexes,
triplexes, and fourplexes. These
residential units are permitted by
right. Permitted density in this zone
district is 1-9 dwelling units per
acre. Many of these lots are located
on the west side of the City and are
currently occupied by older rural
residential units.Residential
development standards for this zone
district are contained in Table 8.38.The underutilized sites identified below each contain an
existing residence. Given the sizes of these lots there is adequate underutilized area to be able to
accommodate additional units. Additionally, because of the existing residence it is likely that at
most two or three residential units would be accommodated. With this small level of
development, the existing residential uses are not a constraint to development on these lots

because they can usually be incorporated into the design of development. It is anticipated that a
minimum of 65 moderate-income multiple-family units could be constructed under the permitted
base density. There is the ability for developers to apply for density bonuses that would allow
densities greater than that permitted, and development incentives which would include a relaxing
of development regulations, such as setbacks, parking and height standards; or apply to use the
City’s newly adopted PRD standards which allow density bonuses where energy efficiency
methods are utilized in project design.

Table 8.26 Multi-Family Residential (R3) Parcels
The R3 zone is a zone intended for medium density multi-family residential uses. Development
in this zone may include apartments,
condominium, town homes, duplexes, triplexes,
and fourplexes at densities of up to 12 units per
acre.These residential units are permitted by
right. The remaining R3 parcels are all infill lots
already provided with all public utilities and
services, and are either vacant or contain existing
residential uses.Residential development
standards for this zone district are contained in
Table 8.38.Almost all of the underutilized sites
identified above contain an existing residence,
and most measure at least one half acre in size. .
Table 8.26 includes the existing mobile home
park, over the long term, should it redevelop it could generate up to 233 multiple-family units.
However, for purposes of adequate sites, this parcel is not included in the final calculations.
Therefore, exclusive of the mobile home park, a total of 74 additional moderate-income
multiple-family units could develop within the R-3 zone district.Developers could also apply for
a density bonus that would allow densities greater than that permitted, and development
incentives which would include a relaxing of development regulations, such as setbacks, parking
and height standards; or apply to use the City’s newly adopted PRD standards which allow
density bonuses where energy efficiency methods are utilized in project design

The R3-20 is a new zone district created in 2012 in accordance with Housing Program 8.8.1.s of
the 2010 Housing Element. The City was successful in creating the new zone district, which
allows a density of 20 dwelling units per acre and permits exclusively multiple-family uses.
Concurrently with the Zoning Code amendment creating the new zone district, the City adopted
a Zone Change and General Plan Amendment, re-designating 0.81 acres were re-zoned to the
new designation, which would can accommodate 16 lower-income multi-family dwelling units.
Program 2 includes a commitment to re-designate additional sites to accommodate the City’s
remaining lower-income RHNA allocation of 42 units in the 2013-2021 period.

Potential to Accommodate the RHNA Allocation for the 2013-2021 Planning Period
Unaccommodated Need from the 4th Planning Cycle.The previous Housing Element identified a
shortfall of development capacity for 27 lower-income units (see Appendix 1, Program 8.8.1.s).
In 2012, the Zoning Code was amended to create the R3-20 zone allowing multi-family
development by-right at a density of 20 units/acre and a 0.81-acre site was rezoned to R3-20.
That rezoning created additional capacity for 16 of the 27 units, therefore an unaccommodated
need of 11 lower-income units is carried over to the 5th planning cycle.
Site Capacity to Accommodate the RHNA.Generally speaking, the single-family residential
designations will typically house moderate-and above-moderate-income households. Except
that, as discussed in Section 8.4.3.5 Housing Affordability section of this Element, the current
median housing price of $185,000 means housing is affordable to low-income householders, as
well. The multiple-family residential and mixed-use designations are generally expected to
house lower-and moderate-income households because of their density and economies of scale.
Based on the available sites inventory there is sufficient land to accommodate 178 single-family
units and 349331 multiple-family units. With the presumption that the multiple family zones
provide the bulk of low and lower income housing, then available sites for low and lower income
households can be accommodated during the planning period. Therefore, as shown in Table
8.30a,not only is there is sufficient land available to accommodate the RHNA allocation in the
moderate and above-moderate categories but a shortfall of potential sites for 42 lower-income
units, which includes the carryover ofof 118 units for this planning period but also sufficient land
to accommodate the 11 units from the previous planning period. Program 2 is included in the
Housing Plan to address this issue, and candidate sites for rezoning are listed in Table 8.30b.

Site 1.This 1.07-acre parcel is located at 12201 Michigan Street and is currently zoned R1-7.2
(Single Family Residential, 7.2 units per acre maximum). The site is underutilized and occupied
by one single-family house.The large parcel size, age and condition of the structure and location
near the Barton Road commercial corridor make it a good candidate for multi-family housing.
This site is proposed for rezoning to the R3-24 district (High Density Residential) with an
allowable density of 20 to 24 units per acre.
Site 2. This site is comprised of three contiguous parcels totaling approximately four acres on the
west side of Grand Terrace Road just north of Barton Road. Each parcel contains one single-
family house and is currently zoned R2 (Low Medium Density Residential). The large parcel
sizes, age and condition of the structures and location near the Barton Road commercial corridor
make it a good candidate for multi-family housing. This site is proposed for rezoning to
R2/Affordable Housing Overlay (AHO)allowing multi-family residential development at a
density of 20 to 24 units per acre if 10% lower-income units or 5% very-low-income units are
provided.
It should also be noted that developers of R2, R3 and R3-20 designated land may apply to use
the City’s recently-adopted PRD standards. These standards allow density bonuses where energy
efficient practices are incorporated into the project design. In addition, on a case-by-case basis
the City will consider application of the R3-20 zone district upon additional properties.

8.5.3.2 Suitability of Non-Vacant Sites
Development Trends:As discussed above the City is relying, primarily, on itsexpects that the
multiple-family zones, BRSP-OP zone and anticipated mixed-use projects will facilitate
development of to generate lower-and moderate-income housing. Over the last planning period
one multiple-family project was completed in the City, and it was the completion of a market-
rate townhome development that was left partially completed. Additionally, a 23-unit low-
income family rental housing development was proposed on City-owned property; however, the
project did not move forward due to difficulty in obtaining financing.
It is evident however, that bBecause of the economies of scale associated with multiple-family
developments, it is likely that multiple-family development will continue to provide affordable
housing in the City. Additionally, incentives will likely be necessary to encourage higher-density
affordable units.
An 80-acre specific plan project is proposed adjacent to I-215 and south of Barton Road. The
project area is comprised of vacant and non-vacant land, some currently owned by the Successor
Agency to the City of Grand Terrace, and includes the assimilation of multiple parcels and
redevelopment of lands. This project is expected to includes a mixed-use component and it is
anticipated that an additional 175 with opportunities for multiple-family residential units would
be generated. Because a specific plan is being proposed for the project it has the added benefit of
creating the customized development standards that would apply to the residential component.
Multiple-family infill development in the BRSP-OP zone is allowed at a density of up to 1-12
units per acre and is subject to the residential standards contained in Chapter 18.10 (RH, R1, R2
and R3 Zones) as shown in Table 8.38, including state density bonus provisions. Under the
provisions of the Barton Road Specific Plan for mixed-use development, the residential
component is not tied to the development standards shown in Table 8.38; it is, however,
restricted to second floor levels of buildings. Mixed-use development is subject to the standards
of the underlying zone district, including lot coverage, height, parking and setbacks. Densities
may not exceed those of the residential, commercial and industrial designations of the General
Plan and zoning; and it is anticipated that densities will be established through the Mixed-Use
process.
Market conditions:Grand Terrace is a small bedroom community located amidst the
employment areas of surrounding jurisdictions, and adjacent to the I-215 Freeway,a major
commuting corridor to jobs in Los Angeles and Orange Counties. One of the major obstacles to
providing housing to meet the needs of all economic segments of the community is the nature of
the housing market itself. The rate at which housing costs accelerated during the 1990s and
2000s created a serious national problem. This problem was magnified in California as a whole,
and particularly in Inland Empire communities such as Grand Terrace, where housing costs
rapidly inflated. As a result of the housing boom of the early 2000s, housing in Grand Terrace

has become less affordable with the cost of a typical single-family residence increasing an
average of 260 percent from 2000 to 2007.
However, the recent downturn of the market significantly reduced housing prices throughout
Grand Terrace. Typically the gap between market-rate and what lower-and moderate-income
households can afford is large for single-family detached development. However, sales prices in
2012 have shown that single-family detached housing in Grand Terrace is affordable to low-and
moderate-income households.
8.5.3.3 Realistic Capacity
The City evaluated the implementation of its multiple-family residential development standards,
including building height, building setbacks, building coverage and parking requirements by
reviewing recent multiple-family development projects. These projects evaluated are R-3 zone
and most of the projects were designed at a density of about 11 units per acre which is
comparable with the realistic capacity identified in Table 8.27 (R3 Zoned Available Parcels).
Two other multiple-family projects were built/approved prior to the City’s incorporation. The
556-unit Highlands Apartments is a 34.76-acre development yielded a density of 16 units per
acre. One hundred and eleven of the units have affordability covenants governing them. The
Preston Condo project, already recorded, has a permitted density of 15 units per acre, and will
require design review of the housing product. Twenty-five percent of the units within this
project are proposed to be restricted to moderate-income households.
8.5.3.4 Zoning for Lower Income Households
Typically, it is difficult to accommodate affordable housing within single-family development
without substantial subsidies, such as silent seconds, downpayment assistance, etc. In the past,
the City’s Housing Office (now Community Development) purchased and rehabbed single-
family units and sold to affordable households. This program was suspended in the early 2000s
due to rising housing prices. With the dissolution of redevelopment agencies the City does not
anticipate reactivating this program.
Usually, because of the economies of scale, affordable housing projects are developed in zone
districts that allow multiple-family developments, such as the City’s Multiple-Family zone
districts and Barton Road Specific Plan properties zoned for Infill Residential development.
Therefore, the City anticipates that housing for lower-income households will be built on these
zone districts.
Grand Terrace is a small bedroom community working towards creating a greater commercial
tax and industrial base to improve the city’s jobs housing balance which is currently housing-rich
and jobs-poor. In previous planning cycles, multiple-family units have been approved and/or
developed indicating that the market is accommodating multiple-family projects. However, only

the Blue Mountain Senior Villas project contains affordable rental housing units, which received
substantial subsidies from the City’s low-mod housing fund. Even with the opportunities for
financial subsidies, bonuses and development incentives, there is reluctance by developers to
accommodate affordable housing due to the recordation of long-term affordability covenants.

*It should be noted that this project includes a 2.6 acre public park with the residential component built on 3.4 acres.
If only the 3.4 acres were considered, project density would be 35 dwelling units per acre.
The multiple-family projects built or approved over the last few planning cycles (Table 8.31)
demonstrate that development is being constructed in accordance with the realistic capacity for
the R3 zone district. The developments are able to meet the provisions of the development
standards for the R3 zone. The one affordable project is the Blue Mountain Senior Villas,which
is built at a density of 20 units per acre. A specific plan was also developed as part of this
project, which allows the developers to establish their own development standards in relation to
the site and project characteristics. This in turn provides a tremendous amount of flexibility in
development. It should be noted that the Blue Mountain Senior Villas project at a density of 20
units per acre was built with stricter provisions in lot coverage and building height than that
permitted in the Zoning Code, but at a lesser standard for parking (0.75 parking spaces per unit
as opposed to 2 spaces per unit).
Density does influence the financial feasibility of projects; however the constraint to affordable
housing in Grand Terrace has not necessarily been density but rather an interest by developers to
construct affordable units. In conformance with the “default density” provisions of state law
(Government Code Sec. 65583.2(c)(3)(B),in 2012 the City established the R3-20 zoning district
allowing multi-family development at a density of 20 units/acre. As noted in Program 2 of the
Housing Plan,a zoning amendment will be processed to designate additional land with
appropriate development standards to accommodate the City’s remaining lower-income housing
need for the planning period.

8.5.4 Special Housing Needs
There are households with identifiable special needs, as defined by California law,for which the
City must plan. Such groups have a greater difficulty in finding affordable housing due to
special circumstances, which may be related to employment, income, family characteristics,
disability or other conditions. As a result, some residents may experience a higher prevalence of
overpayment, overcrowding, or other housing problems. These groups include persons with
disabilities, the elderly, large households, female-headed households, farm workers, and the
homeless. Each special needs category is discussed in greater detail below.

Persons with disabilities have special housing needs. Depending on the disability their needs may
be proximity to public transit, services, and the workplace. Housing needs may include ramps,
lowered countertops, and widened doorways. The American Community Survey and 2010
Census did not track disabilities. However, because the City’s population has not grown very
much between 2000 and 2010, information from 2000 is still considered relevant.
As shown in Table 8.32, 17.8% of the City’s working population (ages between 16-64 years) has
a disability, with 12% of those disabled persons having an employment disability. For those
aged 65 years and older, 42.9% have a disability. Included within these disabilities are persons
with disabilities that limit their ability to leave the home (18.4% of the working population and
46% of the senior population, respectively).
According to Section 4512 of the Welfare and Institutions Code a "developmental disability"
means a disability that originates before an individual attains age 18 years, continues, or can be
expected to continue, indefinitely, and constitutes a substantial disability for that individual
which includes mental retardation, cerebral palsy,epilepsy, and autism. This term shall also
include disabling conditions found to be closely related to mental retardation or to require
treatment similar to that required for individuals with mental retardation, but shall not include
other handicapping conditions that are solely physical in nature.
Many developmentally disabled persons can live and work independently within a conventional
housing environment. More severely disabled individuals require a group living environment
where supervision is provided. The most severely affected individuals may require an
institutional environment where medical attention and physical therapy are provided. Because
developmental disabilities exist before adulthood, the first issue in supportive housing for the
developmentally disabled is the transition from the person’s living situation as a child to an
appropriate level of independence as an adult.
The Inland Regional Center (IRC) provides services to more than 25,000 people with
developmental disabilities and their families in San Bernardino and Riverside counties. IRC
serves 75 Grand Terrace residents.
The City of Grand Terrace adopted Chapter 18.66 Reasonable Accommodations, which provides
a simple and inexpensive ($50.00) process for disabled persons, including those with
developmental disabilities,to request to deviate from City codes and regulations, such as ramps
or accessible room additions within building setbacks. In addition, state-licensed facilities that
house persons with disabilities is permitted within the residential zones of the City.
8.5.4.2 The Elderly
As reported in the 2010 Census 1,498 persons (12.4%) of Grand Terrace residents were over 65
years of age. This represents an increase of 255 elderly residents since the 2000 Census. It is
likely that the elderly population will continue to increase due to two factors:

1)The U.S. population nationwide is aging as the baby boom population (born between
1946 and 1964) approaches their senior years; and
2)Many long-time residents chose to stay in the City.
As people age, they often find themselves facing additional housing problems they may not have
had to cope with previously. Senior households have special housing needs primarily due to
three major concerns:physical disabilities/limitations, income and health care cost.
Affordability can be an issue of special concern to the elderly,who are often on fixed retirement
incomes. Many elderly owner-households reside in mobile homes, which are among the lowest-
cost housing options in the City.In addition, the elderly may require assistance with
housekeeping, maintenance, and repairs to remain in their own homes as long as possible.
Special design features that may be needed include elimination of barriers such as steps and the
provision of recreational and social amenities for the elderly.

8.5.4.3 Large Family Households
Large households are an indicator of need for large units. Large households are generally
defined as households with 5 or more persons. Grand Terrace has 499 (11.8%) total households
consisting of five or more persons. Table 8.34 shows that the City is made up predominately of
1 to 4-person households. This suggests that the need for large units with four or more bedrooms
is expected to be significantly less than the need for smaller units.

8.5.4.4 Single Parent Households
Single-parent households also have greater housing needs than other households due to their
limited income and higher expenses. The City of Grand Terrace currently has 791 single-parent
families with children, of which 348 are male-headed households and 443 are female-headed
households. The Census Bureau has not published data on the percentage of Grand Terrace
single parent families that are low income or have housing problems. However, as is common,
lower income single parents, particularly renters, experience the highest prevalence and severity
of overpayment and overcrowding.
Single-family detached rentals and multifamily housing with child-oriented amenities, such as
playgrounds and onsite childcare, would help meet the housing needs of Grand Terrace’s single
parent households. Affordable attached housing, such as condominiums, can also help meet the
needs of female-headed and single-parent households

8.5.4.5 Farmworker Housing
Based on the 2010 Census, there are 6,132 employed residents over the age of 16 years. Of
those workers, only 21 (0.23%) persons are employed as farm workers. Because the number of
existing employees in Grand Terrace are identified as being farm workers is so small, it is
anticipated that that their housing needs will be met through programs designed for lower income
households.
8.5.4.6 Homeless
The homeless are the community’s most vulnerable residents. The homeless often face chemical
dependency, mental health problems, domestic violence, and other life-threatening conditions.

Individuals and families experience homelessness for a variety of reasons, and therefore a
homeless population may have a variety of needs. A homeless person may need medical care,
childcare assistance, credit counseling, substance abuse treatment, job training, and/or English
language education, among other services.
On January 24, 2013, a Point in Time homeless survey was conducted County-wide. The
homeless count was a joint effort between the San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership, the
San Bernardino County Office of Homeless Services, and the Institute for Urban Initiatives who
recruited over 400 community volunteers to implement the count and a subpopulation survey.
Preliminary findings found that there are 2,321 adults and children who are homeless on a given
day in San Bernardino County. Of the 2,321 persons, 1,247 (1,182 adults and 65 children) are
unsheltered and 1,074 (640 adults and 434 children) were sheltered (i.e. living in shelters,
transitional housing or received motel vouchers). The Point in Time count did not find any
homeless persons residing in Grand Terrace.6 The Point in Time count is a single snapshot count
on one particular day. During the last housing cycle, six homeless persons were identified in
Grand Terrace. Conservatively, this number is likely still valid.
There is a variety of housing service providers in proximity to Grand Terrace that address a
range of needs. Providers are shown on Table 8.36, and this list is not intended to be all-
inclusive. These providers provide emergency shelter housing, transitional and permanent
housing, utility assistance, rental assistance, food assistance, and support services, such as
counseling, such as Inland Temporary Homes, located in Loma Linda, which provides a 90-day
shelter program and 21-24-month transitional housing program for homeless families with
children under 18 years of age. Currently, Inland Temporary Homes also teaches 24 classes
covering a complete range of subjects focused on developing personal skills to facilitate personal
growth, career employment services identify individual interests and skills to develop a career
path, and counseling by a licensed psychologist facilitates mental health.
Also, there are currently six residential care facilities located within the City of Grand Terrace.
The City has permitted these facilities to be established within its corporate boundaries in
accordance with Section 1566.3 of the Health and Safety Code. According to HCD, these
facilities meet the requirement for the provision of transitional housing as set forth in Section
65583 of the Government Code. Five of the facilities have occupancy of six persons per facility
for a total of 30 persons, and one facility is Emeritus, which provides assisted living and memory
care services. Emeritus is state-licensed for 150 beds. These facilities are providing important
transitional housing for 180 persons.
In 2012 the City amended its Zoning Code, in accordance with Program 8.8.1.m, allowing for
emergency shelters to be permitted in the Industrial zone without a conditional use permit, and
subject to the same development and management standards that apply to the residential or
commercial uses within the same zone district.

8.5.4.7 At Risk Housing
As required by Government Code Section 65583, the City must analyze the extent to which low-
income, multi-family rental units are at risk of becoming market rate housing and, if necessary,
develop programs to preserve or replace these assisted housing units. The multiple assistance
programs include state or local mortgage revenue bonds, redevelopment tax increments, in lieu
fees or an inclusionary housing ordinance, or density bonuses. Low income multi-family housing
is considered to be at risk if it is eligible to convert to non-low income housing due to: 1) the
termination of a rental subsidy contract; 2) mortgage prepayment or 3) the expiration of
affordability restrictions. The time period that is to be considered in making this determination is
the ten year period following the last mandated updating of the Housing Element (2006-2013).
Based on the information contained in the “Inventory of Federally Subsidized Low Income,
Rental Units at Risk of Conversion,” compiled by the California Housing Partnership
Corporation, there are no federally assisted (HCD or FmHA), low income rental units within the
City. Likewise, there are no low income rental units within the City that have been developed
with the use of CDBG funds or as a result of an inclusionary housing ordinance.
However, there are 111 low income rental units that were constructed using a combination of
density bonuses and local multi-family revenue bond financing. These units are located in the
Highlands Apartments, constructed by Forest City Development at 11750 Mount Vernon
Avenue. In 1999 these units were at risk to convert to market rate housing; however, the City
used its housing set-aside funds to secure these units until 2030.
8.5.4.8 Zoning for a Variety of Housing Types
Second Dwelling Units: In 2002, the City adopted Chapter 18.69 Second Family Units of
Zoning Code to ensure that second units could be constructed on any single-family
residentially zoned property. In 2012, Chapter 18.69 was amended to allow for
administrative approval of attached and detached second dwelling units and to allow them
in the RH, R1, R2 and R-3 Zones.
Manufactured Homes:The Zoning Code was amended in 2012 to allow manufactured
homes in all residential zone districts, subject to the same development standards and
review process as conventional stick construction. The scope of the Board’s review of
single-family residences is generally limited to the architecture of the residences, including
design,materials, and landscaping. The process from submittal to issuance of building
permits is approximately 6 weeks.
Residential care facilities: Residential care facilities refer to a residence consisting of
supervision of persons, such as a group home, or rehabilitation facility that provide non-
medical care to persons in need of personal services, assistance, guidance, protection or
training for daily living. Residential care facilities serving 6 or fewer persons are permitted

by right in all residential zones. Facilities serving 7 or more persons are conditionally
permitted in all residential zone districts. Residential care facilities include homes for
persons with disabilities the disabled and transitional housing facilities.
Transitional and supportive housing: Transitional and supportive housing facilities fall
under the definition of residential care facilities and are principally permitted in all
residential zones if serving 6 or less persons, and conditionally permitted in all residential
zones if serving 7 or more persons.As noted in Program 13 in the Housing Plan, a Code
amendment is being processed to clarify that transitional and supportive housing are
regulated as residential uses subject only to the same standards as apply to other residential
dwellings of the same type in the same zone.
Single-room-occupancy (SRO)units provide another form of affordable housing for low-
income persons. The City’s Zoning Code was amended in 2012 to allow SROs in the R3
zone districts.
Emergency shelters: Senate Bill 2 adopted in 2007 amended housing element law
regarding the planning for emergency shelters to require at least one zone district where
emergency shelters are permitted without discretionary action, and subject to the same
development and management standards that apply to the residential or commercial uses
within the same zone district. The City’s Zoning Code was amended in 2012 to allow
emergency shelters in the M2 zone.

8.6 CONSTRAINTS
The ability of the private and public sectors to provide adequate housing to meet the needs of all
economic segments of the community is constrained by various interrelated factors. For ease of
discussion, these factors have been divided into three categories: 1) physical constraints; 2)
market constraints; and 3) governmental constraints. The extent to which these constraints are
affecting the supply and affordability of housing in the City of Grand Terrace is discussed below.
8.6.1 Physical Constraints
Physical constraints to the development of
affordable housing within the City of Grand
Terrace focus upon the physical characteristics of
the majority of the remaining undeveloped land
within the City limits. The identified sites within
the Hillside Residential (RH) and R1-20 zone
districts are primarily located on the steep slopes of
Blue Mountain. Physical constraints include the
potential for land and rock slides, high fire hazards
and flooding. Although it is possible to mitigate
the physical constraints, the development
constraints associated with developing on steep
slopes and the provision of streets and utilities to
hillside areas along with the environmental issues
of landslides, high fire hazards and drainage issues substantially increases development costs and
therefore make these areas unsuitable for affordable housing.
The sites identified in the R1-10 are generally located along the foot of Blue Mountain and have
milder slopes and fewer constraints than in the RH and R1-20 zone districts. The identified sites
locates in the R1-7.2 zone district are located in areas with gradual slopes, if any. There are no
known environmental constraints in these areas that could impede development.
Identified sites within the multiple-family zone districts are located on the relatively flatter
portions of the City. The identified sites located at the northwest portion of the City are located
in proximity to Interstate 215 and an industrial line of the Union Pacific Railroad. The Interstate
and railroad line are potential environmental areas of concern relating to noise. Noise impacts
can generally be mitigated through enhanced construction measures such as sound attenuation
walls and would not be considered a significant environmental impact. There are no other
known environmental constraints that could impede development on identified sites located in
the multiple-family zone districts.
Approximately three additional vacant and non-vacant sites have been identified within the
Administrative Professional designation of the Barton Road Specific Plan area, which

conditionally permits multiple-family uses. These parcels are relatively free of significant
topographical constraints; utilities are readily available; and are free of any known environmental
constraints. The proposed mixed-use project is located just east of the I-215 project, and is part
of a larger 80-acre project. Within the 80 acres there is an area identified as jurisdictional to the
Department of Fish and Game and Army Corps of Engineers. However, these jurisdictional areas
can typically be mitigated, so as not to preclude development. No other significant constraints
exist within this project area.
8.6.2 Market Constraints
Market constraints to the development of residential housing include the cost of land, the cost of
construction, and financing. Unlike past years when the housing market was experiencing a
bubble effect, market factors now pose fewer constraints to the development of new housing.
Changes in the financial markets, changes in construction material costs, and other factors have
all affected the feasibility of developing new housing in Grand Terrace.
8.6.2.1 Construction Cost
Construction costs are influenced by the cost
of materials. As the softening of the housing
market decreases the amount of homes being
constructed throughout southern California,
the cost of many construction materials have
decreased, reflecting the lack of demand.
Construction costs will also vary based on the
type of material used, structural features
present, and project characteristics such as the
type and quality of the unit.
The single largest cost associated with
building a new house is the cost of building
materials, comprising between 40 to 50
percent of the sales price of a home. Typical
residential construction costs for a 2,000
square foot home with garage is
approximately $108 per square foot, whereas as custom homes can be as twice the cost.7
Lower housing costs can be achieved with the following factors: a) reduction in amenities and
quality of building materials (above a minimum acceptability for health, safety, and adequate
performance); b) availability of skilled construction crews who will work for less than union
wages; and c) use of manufactured housing (including both mobile home and modular housing).

Grand Terrace General Plan Draft | April 2016 Adopted

An additional factor related to construction costs is the number of units built at the same time.
Apartments of three stories or less achieve an economy of scale, provided that the building has
typical amenities and no structured parking. As the number of units developed increases,
construction costs over the entire development are generally reduced based on economies of
scale. This reduction in costs is of particular benefit when density bonuses are utilized for the
provision of affordable housing.
8.6.2.2 Land Costs
Grand Terrace is fortunate in that the cost of vacant land for residential development is relatively
affordable, especially when compared to the adjacent counties of Orange, Los Angeles, and San
Diego. Land prices are highly variable and depend on the density of development allowed,
whether the site has environmental constraints, and whether an existing use must be removed.
Land costs are also influenced by location and views, for instance, land costs are higher along the
hillside were valley floor views are afforded. Fluctuations in market conditions will also
influence land costs. For example, from 2000 through 2006 real estate values rose significantly,
however the recent downturn has resulted in a dampening effect on prices.
8.6.2.3 Financing
8.6.2.3.1 Developer Financing
Construction financing costs also affect the feasibility of building new housing. In the past it
was not uncommon for developers to receive construction loans for 100% or more of a project's
estimated future value. However, recently, following the housing market downturn of the early
1990s, financial institutions tightened regulations for construction loans, which was repeated
again in the boom period of the early to mid-2000s. The tightened regulations often result in
developers having to put up at least 25% of the project value.
Although there is no hard threshold for how much required upfront equity is too much before a
residential project would be infeasible, the higher the proportion of equity required, the more
unlikely that a developer would proceed with the project. Not only would it require more up-
front cash, but higher equity contribution means a project must be able to achieve an even higher
value at completion in order to generate the cash flow needed to meet acceptable cash-on-cash
returns. These trends are anticipated to continue during the planning period.
8.6.2.3.2 Homebuyer Financing
Housing affordability is also largely determined by interest rates. First-time homebuyers are
most impacted by financing requirements. Current mortgage interest rates for new home
purchases are at historically low levels of around 4% for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, which

increases housing affordability. Although rates are currently low, they can change significantly
and impact the affordability of the housing stock. The recent economic crisis has also resulted in
a tightening of lending standards, as compared to the “easy credit” practices in recent years.
Thus, a critical factor in homeownership involves credit worthiness. Lenders consider a person’s
debt-to-income ratio, cash available for down payment, and credit history when determining a
loan amount. Many financial institutions are willing to significantly decrease down payment
requirements and increase loan amounts to persons with good credit rating. Persons with poor
credit ratings may be forced to accept a higher interest rate or a loan amount insufficient to
purchase a house.
In addition, the San Bernardino County Department of Economic and Community Development
also offers a Homeownership Assistance Program that provides financial assistance to eligible
households that may be used for down payment assistance or closing costs.
8.6.3 Government Constraints
8.6.3.1 Land Use Controls
8.6.3.1.1 Density
The Grand Terrace General Plan sets forth the City’s policies for guiding local development.
These policies, together with existing zoning regulations, establish the amount and distribution of
land to be allocated for various uses throughout the City.Residential development in the City of
Grand Terrace is permitted under the land use categories shown in Table 8.37 and in accordance
with the Land Use Element of the General Plan:
Table 8.37
General Plan Residential Designations
Land Use Category Allowable Zones Gross Allowable Density
Hillside Residential R-1 (20)0 –1 Du/Net Ac
Low Density Residential R-1 (7.2), R-1 (10), R-1 (20)1 –5 Du/Net Ac
Medium Density Residential R-2, R-3 1 –12 Du/Net Ac
Medium High Density
Residential
R3S, R3-20 12 –20 Du/Net Ac
Source: Grand Terrace Community Development Department, 2013
Pursuant to City Zoning Code Section 18.10.040, a density bonus of up to 35% may be approved
in accordance with California Density Bonus Law, when a developer provides housing for low-
to moderate-income households, and seniors.
While the amount of vacant land remaining within the City is minimal, land with potential for
redevelopment and infill housing is primarily found in the relatively flat areas of the City, where
increased densities are feasible, thus providing adequate sites for the construction of affordable

housing.
In fact, the City adopted a new Code section which allows density bonuses on infill lots. These
provisions will allow for either a density bonus in accordance with state law, a 20 percent density
bonus can be approved where a project can be certified in LEED,or a 10% density bonus for
construction of the project to meet or exceed more than a 20 percent increase in energy
efficiency above Title 24 requirements.
8.6.3.1.2 Development Standards
The City’s development standards are consistent with the parameters and policies established in
the General Plan and reflect an attempt to balance housing needs with infrastructure capacities
and environmental considerations. Table 8.38 presents the development standards of each
residential zone. Standards regulating development within the City are similar to those being
used by other surrounding communities.
Taken together with the size of the lot, development standards are not considered especially
constraining. The previous Zoning Code limited the definition of multiple-family residential
developments to one-and two-bedroom units and placed minimum size requirements on them.
These limitations were removed in 2012 with a zoning code amendment, in accordance with
Program 8.8.1.q of the previous planning period.
Table 8.38 illustrates that the development standards in the City do not represent an overly
restrictive condition, and are not a constraint to development of affordable housing.
Projects including new residential construction are normally required to install all necessary on-
and off-site improvements, including a half-width of the paved width of the street, concrete
curbs, sidewalks, water connections and sewer connections. Roadway standards for local or
neighborhood streets that allow parking on both sides of the street have paved widths between 36
to 44 feet. Infrastructure improvements are in place in most locations within the City limits.

8.6.3.1.3 Parking Standards
Parking standards are currently similar to those used in other cities: a two-car garage required for
each single-family dwelling and 2 spaces required per unit for multiple-family dwellings where
one space shall be in a garage. Guest spaces are required in a ratio of one guest parking space
per four multi-family dwelling units.
However, in order to provide greater incentives for the construction of affordable housing, the
Zoning Code was amended more flexible parking standards for smaller multiple-family units.
When a studio or efficiency unit is proposed, only one parking space will be required, instead of
two spaces.In addition, Program 12 includes a commitment to review parking standards for

multi-family units to ensure that they do not pose an unreasonable constraint to development.
8.6.3.1.4 Open Space Requirements
Open space and setback requirements in Grand Terrace are also very similar to those used in
other cities where the maximum lot coverage allowed varies from 40 to 60 percent of the lot,
thereby providing: 1) sufficient usable open space, especially in backyards; 2) enough space for a
car to park in the front driveway approach to the garage; and 3) enough separation between
residences to ensure protection of privacy.In the case of multiple-family housing, 40 percent
open space is required to provide common recreational amenities/facilities for residents.Our
experience indicates that this standard has not been a deterrent to past affordable housing
projects.
8.6.3.1.5 Design Review Standards
The City does not have design standards or guidelines that constrain development in its
residential districts. Single-and multi-family units are reviewed on a case-by-case basis for high
quality construction and compatibility with existing surrounding architecture. The basic
philosophy of the City’s design review process is to arrive at a product that meets the City’s
goals and is financially feasible for the developer.
The responsibility of the Site and Architectural Review Board is to provide comprehensive site
plan and architectural review of projects. The scope of the Site and Architectural Review
Board’s review is to consider the site plan in relation to the property and development standards
(i.e. setbacks, lot coverage, building height, parking, etc.), placement of structures, vehicle and
pedestrian access, landscaping, police and fire services, grading and drainage, traffic,
relationship to existing and planned uses of adjoining and surrounding properties, and
relationship to nearby properties and structures and surrounding natural topography. It is also to
consider the proposed architecture of buildings in terms of style and design, materials and colors,
and size and bulk in relation to the surrounding properties. Chapter 18.63 of the Zoning Code
specifies the review authority of the Board with regard to site and building design.
Given the smaller scale of development of a single-family residence in comparison to a multiple-
family development project, the scope of the Board’s review of single-family residences is
generally more focused on architecture of the residences and site layout.
Review of multiple-family development projects typically involves a greater level of review in
regard to site development. In addition to ensuring adherence to setbacks, height requirements,
lot coverage, parking and other applicable development standards, the Board will also consider
the compatibility of the project’s site design with surrounding land uses, such as screening and
security.
Unlike larger cities, the City of Grand Terrace has only one board (i.e., its Planning

Commission) that performs various review functions. Therefore, the design review process is
shorter than in other cities in the area. However, smaller projects such as individual single-
family units require Planning Commission approval, through Site and Architectural Review. The
City has eliminated the public hearing requirement for very small projects, such as room
additions, accessory structures, etc. City staff processes these projects administratively requiring
only the Director’s review and approval. Other improvements that have been or are currently
being made to streamline the design review/permit process are:
Implementation of one-step review process whereby the applicant comes to one counter to
receive information about the entire process. The Community Development Department
routes the plans to other reviewing agencies and the case planner reports to the applicant
within 30 days.
Implementation of an applicant-friendly approach whereby staff provides significant
attention to applicants, up front, to explain and inform them to the process and basically
serve as an expediter instead of a regulator, while City standards are being enforced. These
include preliminary design review meetings with City staff to work through design issues
prior to formal application submittal.
Implementation of a project management approach, whereby a case planner
follows/monitors a project from initial sketches to issuance of a certificate of occupancy
through all departments and agencies. This allows applicants to have more certainty about
the status of their projects and to plan and acquire financing while a project is under review.
The case planner is responsible for knowing the status of a project within the process at any
point in time. This also assists the City in ensuring implementation of conditions of
approval
Implementation of easy to read “How to Do” lists for all requirements for planning and
building plan check, thereby facilitating submission of complete applications and
minimizing additional trips to the City.
8.6.3.2 Building Codes
In addition to land use controls, local building codes also affect the cost of housing. Grand
Terrace has adopted the 2010 California Building Code that establishes minimum construction
standards. These minimum standards cannot be revised to be less stringent without sacrificing
basic safety considerations and amenities. No major reductions in construction costs are
anticipated through revisions to local building codes.
8.6.3.3 Code Compliance
Code compliance activities within the City are intended to promote the safety and character of
the City. The City includes approximately three square miles. There is currently only one code
compliance officer responsible for code enforcement activities in the City. Therefore, code

enforcement activities are primarily reactive. In the residentially designated properties, code
enforcement housing efforts generally focus on property maintenance, including the rental
inspection program.
8.6.3.4 Development Filing Fees
The City’s development filing fees are still low when compared with surrounding areas. A
summary of development filing fees for the City is provided in Table 8.40. The fees that are
charged by the City are a reflection of the time and effort that must be expended by City staff in
order to properly review development plans. The City will continue to conduct periodic surveys
(both formal and informal) of other cities in the Grand Terrace area to ensure that local
processing costs do not become a constraint on housing production.

8.6.3.5 Development Impact and Building Permit Fees
Development impact fees are charged on a per-unit basis to provide funds to offset the
anticipated impacts of population growth. New housing, and therefore more Grand Terrace
residents, may result in an increase in vehicle trips, park usage, school enrollment, and
emergency service calls. Development impact fees are carefully created to ensure that quality
services and facilities are provided to residents without unduly burdening development.
As shown in Table 8.41 the total fees, including building permit and development impact fees for
a 2,000 square foot residential unit are approximately $36,000, and approximately $27,000 for a
1,200 square foot multiple-residential home. While the majority of the costs is attributable to
development impact fees, the City assess a lesser impact fee for multiple-family development. It
should also be noted that a significant portion of the impact fees, water connection and school
impact fees are assessed by entities separate from the City, over which the City has little control.

The per-unit cost of housing, including construction and land cost is approximately $108 per
square foot. Using Table 8.41 above, that would equate to a per-unit cost of $253,618 for a
single-family unit and $156,428 for a multiple-family housing unit. The total building and
development impact fees are about 15% and 17%, respectively, of the total per-unit cost.
8.6.3.6 Permit Processing
The processing time needed to obtain development permits and required approvals is often cited
as a prime contributor to the high cost of housing. Additional time may be necessary for
environmental review, depending on the location and nature of a project. Unnecessary delays
will add to the cost of construction by increasing land holding costs, interest payments and
inflation. Although these review processes may take a substantial amount of time, they are
necessary to integrate a new development into the local urban environment.
In Grand Terrace, the average processing time for most development applications is two to three
months with very small projects taking less than 30 days. The City of Grand Terrace has fully
implemented the provisions of AB 884, as well as more recent legislation requiring the
establishment of “one-stop” permit coordination. In fact, all of development services have been
consolidated into one department: Community Development. The divisions within the
Community Development Department include Planning, Building and Safety, Code
Enforcement, Engineering and Public Works.
Moreover, the City has established a Site and Architectural Review Board that also serves as the
Planning Commission. This Board is scheduled to meet twice per month to review all new
construction proposals. Based on periodic surveys conducted by the City, local processing times
are shorter than those experienced in surrounding communities.
The following summarizes applications that are utilized by the City for various residential
projects and average processing times:
Land Use Application:This application is used for small ground floor room additions
that are less than 500 square feet in size. The average processing time is 2 to 4 weeks
from filing to issuance of building permit.
Administrative Site and Architectural Review: The Administrative Site and
Architectural Review application is used for two-story additions, larger room additions
that are 500 square feet in size or larger but less than 65% of the floor area of the existing
house. This application does not require a public hearing and can be approved by the
Community Development Director. The average processing time is typically 6 weeks
from filing to issuance of building permit. The Administrative Site and Architectural
Review process is also used for the review and approval of second dwelling units, which
greatly expedites the processing of these second units and is in conformance with State
law.

Site and Architectural Review:This application requires a fully noticed public hearing
before the Planning Commission. This involves the additional requirement to submit a
radius map and ownership list of property owners within 300 feet of the subject site. The
Site and Architectural review process is required for new single-family residences and for
multiple-family developments. The average processing time for a single-family
residence is 6-8 weeks from filing to issuance of a building permit, and about 12 to 16
weeks from filing to issuance of building permit for multiple-family developments.If an
environmental initial study is required to be prepared then the processing time would be
extended by at least three months. To expedite the review process the City offers
concurrent review of the construction drawings prior to the Planning Commission’s
public hearing, subject to a hold harmless agreement should the Commission impose
major changes in the project at the public hearing. This procedure highlights the City’s
efforts to expedite the review process to facilitate new housing development.
Conditional Use Permit:This application is heard concurrently with the Site and
Architectural Review application. As these applications are heard concurrently with the
Site and Architectural Review application in order to speed up the process, the processing
time is the same as that for the Site and Architectural Review application.
Tentative Parcel Map:This application is used to divide a site into four or fewer new
parcels. This would allow for the infilling of larger parcels or an intensification of
existing sites. The application is heard by both the Planning Commission and the City
Council,as required by the City’s Subdivision Ordinance.The processing time from
tentative parcel map filing to City Council approval is approximately 3 to 4 months.
Tentative Tract Map:This application is used to divide or subdivide a site into more
than four lots. This allows for the infilling of large parcels or an intensification of larger
existing sites in the City. Tentative Tract Maps are heard by both the Planning
Commission and the City Council. The processing time from the tentative map filing to
the recording of the final map is 4 to 6 months.If an environmental initial study is
required to be prepared than the processing time would be extended by at least three
months.
The City’s fees, shown on Tables 8.40 and 8.41, are some of the lowest in the San Bernardino
and Riverside regions. Generally, the City has no backlog of residential projects that are waiting
for processing by staff or for a public hearing by the Planning Commission or City Council. The
average processing times for residential projects are much less than those for other jurisdictions
in the area.

systems are adequate to accommodate any increased demand generated by a proposed project.
At present, all vacant residentially designated land within the City is in close proximity to the
infrastructure systems (i.e., utilities and streets necessary to provide service). While construction
of local interior street and minor utility extensions would be required in some cases, the overall
extent would not be great; the location of streets and utility lines as illustrated in the General
Plan Circulation Element. No street extensions or major service system improvements would be
necessary for development of multi-family designated areas directly adjacent to Mount Vernon
Avenue or single-family designated areas in the western portion of the City, west of the railroad
tracks. Service systems are adequate to provide for the higher densities expected to be associated
with low-and moderate-income developments.
Water service is provided by the Riverside Highland Water Company (RHWCO). RHWCO is a
private water company owned by its shareholders. It maintains water main transmission lines,
wells, reservoirs, and service laterals throughout the City and is directly responsible for
maintenance. The water supply for the Company is from five separate groundwater basins. The
2010 Urban Water Management Plan prepared for the Company indicates that there is sufficient
water supply to accommodate development within the City.
Sanitary sewer service is provided by the City of Grand Terrace, and the City maintains all
collections lines within its city limits. The City contracts with the City of Colton for wastewater
treatment.
8.6.3.8 Jobs/Housing Balance
As defined by SCAG, a balanced subregion or community is one having an employment to
housing ratio of 1.2 jobs per dwelling unit. Recent SCAG data estimated that there are
approximately 3,000 combined public and private sector jobs within the City of Grand Terrace.
By comparison, there are currently 4,315 households within the City. This translates into an
employment to housing ratio of 0.70 jobs per dwelling unit, and indicates that the City is “jobs-
poor” and “housing-rich.” Therefore, adherence to the jobs/housing balance ratio of 1.2 jobs per
dwelling unit represents an actual constraint on the expansion of housing opportunities within the
City,since the City is “jobs-poor” and needs to stress the development of jobs, rather than
housing.
8.6.3.9 Constraints on Persons with Disabilities
Zoning and Permitting Requirements:The City’s definition of family includes individuals
related by blood, marriage or adoption, groups of not more than six persons who are not related
by blood, marriage or adoption, and one or more persons living as a single household.Program
13 includes a commitment to process a Code amendment to revise this definition consistent with
current law.

The City ensures adherence to Title 24 of the California Building Code and federal regulations
on accessibility in both multiple-family housing developments and commercial developments.
The City’s parking standards requires that at least one disabled parking space be provided for
each new project or two (2%) percent whichever is greater. The design standards of the parking
ordinance require that the disabled parking spaces be striped and individually identified in
accordance with the Uniform Building Code and the California Vehicle Code.
Group homes are permitted by right in the City’s residential zones as permitted uses if the
number of residents is 6 or less. The only permits that would be required would be the normal
building permits to construct the structure.
Group homes with more than 6 residents are permitted with a conditional use permit. There is
nothing in the City’s General Plan or Zoning Code that regulates the siting of special needs
housing in relationship to one another. There is no minimum distance required between two (or
more) special needs housing facilities. The City has no standard conditions or requirements for
group homes of more than 6 persons, other than the requirement for a conditional use permit.
This includes no particular conditions for group homes that will be providing services on-site.
The requirement for a conditional use permit has had no demonstrated negative impact on the
development of group homes in the City. There has been no record of such a request being
denied by the City’s Planning Commission.The public hearing for a conditional use permit for a
group home is exactly the same for any other conditional use permit with the same noticing
requirements and agency notification.
Building Codes to Assist Disabled Access: The 2013 California Building Codes, Codes of
Regulations will be adopted by the end of the year. There have been no amendments that might
have diminished the ability to accommodate persons with disabilities. The City has not adopted
any universal design elements in the City’s building code with respect to persons with
disabilities; however, any property owner wishing to install such elements would not be
precluded from doing so.
The Building and Safety Department strictly follows the guidelines set by CALDAG for their
ADA regulations on new and rehab commercial construction. There have been several new
developments in the City that have been required by law to be disabled accessible. In
accordance with state law, multiple-family developments are required to incorporate adaptable
units into the project design, in addition to ensuring an accessible path of travel from the street.
The City has also retrofitted several intersections in the City with disabled curb access, disabled
drinking fountains and/or disabled buttons at the signalized intersections. In addition reasonable
accommodations have been provided at City Hall including disabled access to the City Hall
including disabled parking spaces, ramp and an emergency access bell for access to the main
City Hall building.
Reasonable Accommodations: The City adopted a Reasonable Accommodations Ordinance,

8.7 HOUSING PLAN
The Housing Program provides direction for City decision makers to achieve the long-term
housing goals set forth in the Grand Terrace Housing Element. The Program is established to
guide the development, revitalization and preservation of a balanced inventory of housing to
meet the needs of present and future residents of the City. It is the overall goal of the City to
ensure that all residents have decent, safe, sanitary and affordable housing regardless of income.
In preparing the Housing Program, the City re-examined the goals, policies and programs, in
light of the dissolution of redevelopment agencies, shrinking County programs, and limited
funding resources. The Housing Program is responsive to the State housing goals and reflects
the desires and aspirations of the community.
The Housing Program addresses the following areas: 1) providing adequate housing sites; 2)
assisting the development and/or availability of affordable housing; 3) removing governmental
constraints;4)conserving and improving existing affordable housing;and 5) promoting equal
housing opportunity.
8.7.1 Goals and Policies

standards and services to accommodate the City’s RHNA allocation.
Policy 8.1.1:Promote and encourage development of housing, which varies by type,
design, form of ownership and size.
Policy 8.1.2:Maximize use of remaining residentially zoned vacant land suitable for
residential development.
Policy 8.1.3:Provide for a new zoning category to permit a density of at least 20 units/acre,
and allow for density bonuses pursuant to State housing law, which would
qualify for very-low-income housing.
Policy 8.1.4:Promote and encourage second dwelling units in accordance with City codes.
Goal 8.2: Assist in the availability and/or development of adequate housing to meet
the needs of affordable housing.
Policy 8.2.1:Promote and encourage infill housing development and use of underutilized
land for residential construction.
Policy 8.2.2:Promote mixed use and infill residential development in the Barton Road
Specific Plan areas.

the use of the R3-20 district by allowing developers with a low-income affordable housing
component to re-zone to this new district.To ensure the availability of adequate sites to
accommodate the City’s share of lower-income regional housing need, amendments to the Land
Use Element of the General Plan and the Zoning Code will be processed to provide capacity for
at least 42 additional lower-income units pursuant to Government Code Sections 65583.2(h) and
(i).Rezoned parcels will be selected from the list of potential candidate sites identified in Table
8.30b and will meet the following requirements:

by right” shall mean that the City’s review of the owner-occupied or multifamily
residential use may not require a conditional use permit, planned unit development
permit, or other discretionary local government review or approval that would constitute
a “project” for purposes of CEQA. “Use by right” does not exempt the use from design
review. However, that design review shall not constitute a “project” under CEQA.

8.7.3 Quantified Objectives
The City’s quantified objectives for the development, rehabilitation and conservation of housing
during the 2014-2021 planning period are summarized in Table 8.42..
During the past few years, the City has experienced significant revenue shortfalls, causing each
City department to cut costs and staff; City staff has been reduced by over 50%. During the last
planning period many housing programs were suspended due to high housing and construction
cost. Now unfortunately, due to the dissolution of redevelopment agencies throughout
California, the City has lost a major local funding source. In addition, many County-
implemented programs, such as housing rehabilitation, weatherization and senior repair
programs, have also been cut, again, resulting in a loss of a major resource for local jurisdictions.

8.8 OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY
As non-renewable energy resources have been progressively depleted and energy costs continue
to rise, homeowners have become increasingly aware of energy conserving measures primarily
as a means to offset and control the rising costs of fuel.
While on the State level, the State Legislature adopted the Global Warming Solutions Act of
2006, which created the first comprehensive, state regulatory program to reduce GHG emissions
to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050.
8.8.1 Building and Site Design
California Subdivision Map Act:State law requires that a tentative tract map provide for
future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision, including designing
the lot sizes and configurations to permit orienting structures to take advantage of a southern
exposure, shade or prevailing breezes. These standards have been incorporated by reference into
the City’s Subdivision Ordinance.
Building Code:The City enforces the State Energy Conservation Standards (California Code of
Regulations Title 24). These standards incorporated into the City’s Building Code provide a
great deal of flexibility for individual builders to achieve a minimum “energy budget” with
various performance standards. These requirements apply to all new residential and commercial
construction and to remodeling and rehabilitation construction only where square footage is
added. In January 2010, the California Building Standards adopted a final version of the new
building code, CALGreen, parts of which became mandatory on January 1, 2011. CALGreen
includes provisions to ensure the reduction of water use by 20%, improve indoor air quality,
divert 50% of new construction waste from landfills, and inspect energy systems (i.e., heat
furnace, air conditioner, mechanical equipment) for nonresidential buildings over 10,000 square
feet to make sure that they're working according to design.
The City is requiring 100% waste recycling on construction projects, and a commissioning plan
certified by a mechanical engineer on energy systems. Additionally, by January 1, 2014, the
City anticipates adoption of the new 2013 CALGreen Code Standards.
Zoning Code:Section 18.10.090 of the Zoning Code allows a multiple-family developer to
apply for a density bonus when energy efficiency is incorporated into the project design.

8.8.2 Energy Efficiency
Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) Program:The San Bernardino County Associated
Governments (SANBAG) has initiated the PACE Program. This Program assists home and
business owners pay for the upfront costs of energy efficient improvements, such as solar panels,
cool roof systems, attic/house fans, high efficiency heating and air conditioning, and similar
energy improvements. The loans are repaid over an assigned term and paid through the annual
tax bill.
Community Action Partnership of San Bernardino County (CAPSBC):
Weatherization Program: Assists eligible low income customers by installing energy
conservation measures that will reduce utility costs and conserve energy. Residents
eligible for the Weatherization Program include single-family homes,
condominiums, and multi-family homes, such as apartment complexes. This
program is available to homeowners and renters. Examples of energy conservation
measures include low flow shower heads, attic insulation, caulking, set back
thermostat, and minor repairs, such as replacement of door (s), broken glass,
patching of holes, door stops, frames, etc.
Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP): The HEAP program provides, to
eligible households, emergency and non-emergency utility assistance in the form of
a credit on gas, electric, wood or propane bills. Emergency assistance is when the
utility has already been turned off, whereas, non-emergency is when a disconnection
notice is received.
California Alternative Rates for Energy (CARE):Southern California Edison and The Gas
Company participate in the CARE program providing lower energy rates to eligible households.
To inform residents about this program, the utility companies mails all customers brochures
regarding the program.
Conservation Garden at Grand Terrace Fitness Park:The landscaping at Grand Terrace
Fitness Park was designed to be a water conservation demonstration garden. Most of the plant
material within the Park uses less water than a traditional landscape or park and much of it would
survive on just the limited rainfall that falls in Grand Terrace. The local water purveyor,
Riverside Highland Water Company,partnered with the City to provide plant identification signs
so that Park visitors can identify water conserving plants that they would like to use in their
gardens and yards, and educational signs that speak to water efficiency through the use of water
conserving plants and smart irrigation
Energy Efficiency Audits:The Southern California Edison Company provides energy audits to
local residents on request. The Southern California Gas Company also provides self-guided
surveys for its customers on its website. Energy audits are extremely valuable in pinpointing

8.9 FINANCING RESOURCES
In 2012 the state abolished all redevelopment agencies in California; therefore this tool for
community revitalization and affordable housing assistance is no longer available.Nevertheless,
there are a variety of potential funding sources available to support affordable housing in the
City of Grand Terrace. They include the following:
8.9.1 Federal and State Resources
Home Investment Partnership (HOME) Program:The HOME is a federal program, created
as a result of the National Housing Affordability Act of 1990. Under HOME, HUD awards funds
to localities on the basis of a formula, which takes into account tightness of the local housing
market, inadequate housing, poverty and housing production costs. Localities must match
HOME funds with 25% of funds from non-federal sources.
HOME funding is provided to jurisdictions to assist either rental housing or home ownership
through acquisition, construction, reconstruction, and/or rehabilitation of affordable housing.
Also possible is tenant-based rental assistance, property acquisition, site improvements, and
other expenses related to the provision of affordable housing and for projects that serve a group
identified as having a special need related to housing.
Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG):Through the federal CDBG
program, HUD provides funds to local governments for funding a range of community
development activities. CDBG grants are awarded to the City on a formula basis for housing
activities, including acquisition, rehabilitation, homebuyer assistance, economic development,
homeless services and public services. CDBG funds are subject to certain restrictions and cannot
be used for new construction of housing. CDBG grants benefit primarily persons/households
with incomes not exceeding 80 percent of the County Median Family Income.
Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Program: This program was created by the Tax
Reform Act of 1986 to provide an alternate method of funding low-and moderate-income
housing. Each state receives a tax credit, based upon population, toward funding housing that
meets program guidelines. The tax credits are then used to leverage private capital into new
construction or acquisition and rehabilitation of affordable housing. Limitations on projects
funded under the Tax Credit programs include minimum requirements that a certain percentage
of units remain rent-restricted, based upon median income, for a term of 15 years.
Multifamily Mortgage Revenue Bonds:This funding source provides below-market interest
rate loans for development, acquisition, or rehabilitation of existing multifamily rental units
within San Bernardino County and its cooperating cities. Although the economy is not conducive
to issuing bonds, the County currently administers contracts for more than 1,000 units of bond-
funded affordable housing in incorporated cities.

California Housing Finance Agency (CHFA):Operated by the California Housing Finance
Authority it is designed to provide up to 100% of home loan financing to prospective eligible
first-time homebuyers. Generally, the loan consists of a standard 97% FHA -CHFA fixed-rate
30-year mortgage and a 3% CHFA down payment assistance second mortgage, which is also
called a "sleeping" or "silent" second. The second mortgage is offered for 30 years at 3% simple
interest. All payments are deferred on this second mortgage until one of the following happens:
the CHAFA first mortgage becomes due and payable; the first mortgage is paid in full or
refinanced; or, the property is sold.
Section 8 Rental Assistance Payments/Housing Certificates:The Federal Section 8 voucher
program is the federal government's major program for assisting very low-income families, the
elderly, and the disabled to rent decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market. Since
the rental assistance is provided on behalf of the family or individual, participants are able to find
and lease privately owned housing, including single-family homes, townhouses and apartments
from landlords who accept vouchers. Eligible households pay 30% of their income toward rent
with the balance paid by HUD. The San Bernardino County Housing Development Department,
in cooperation with the Housing Authority, administers the Tenant Based (Rental) Assistance
Program that includes Section 8 rental assistance.
8.9.2 Local Resources
Redevelopment Housing Set-Aside Fund:With the abolishment of redevelopment agencies,
Low-Mod Housing Funds are no longer available to assist in the development and/or
preservation of affordable housing.
CDBG-funded Enhanced Code Enforcement Services: During the fiscal years of 2011-2012,
2012-2013, the City was awarded CDBG funds towards enhanced Code Enforcement Services
that targeted income-qualifying areas. The boundaries of these primarily residential areas are
based on HUD census tracts and services are limited to the neighborhoods identified low-and
moderate-income (LMI) areas. The scope of the program is to enhance blighted properties in
low-income neighborhoods. The City will continue to apply for funding this program.
San Bernardino County Affordable Housing Programs:The San Bernardino County
Economic Development Agency, Community Development Division administers the HOME
Program locally for County residents.The HOME Program serves individuals and households
earning 80% or less of the area median income established by HUD, who reside within the
County of San Bernardino HOME Consortium area.City residents are eligible to participate in
this program.

8.8.1 Programs In Support Of Housing Availability and Production
Program 8.8.1.a:The City’s Community and Economic Development Department (CEDD) and
Building and Safety/Public Works/Housing Department (BS/PW/H) will continue to expedite the
processing of plans for proposed housing projects that are affordable to low-and moderate-
income households.
Accomplishment:The City maintains a goal of reviewing all projects and presenting them
to the Planning Commission within two months of receipt of a complete application
package. This does not include those projects that require the preparation of an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) that must follow CEQA guidelines and review
schedules.
Program 8.8.1.b:The City’s Community and Economic Development Department (CEDD) and
Redevelopment Agency will implement the amendment the Barton Road Specific Plan that
allows a mix of commercial and medium/high density residential development in the
Administrative Professional (AP) zone.
Accomplishment: The City continues to promote infill residential development in the Barton
Road Specific Plan to developers, and continues to maintain a goal of reviewing all projects
and presenting them to the Planning Commission within two months of receipt of a complete
application package, when an EIR is not required.
Program 8.8.1.c:The City’s Community and Economic Development Department (CEDD)–
Planning Division will implement a Zoning Code amendment to revise Chapter 18.10 to ensure
the permitted uses table allows for manufactured housing in all residential zones, in accordance
with State law.
Accomplishment:Ordinance No. 264 was adopted on June 12, 2012, which included an
amendment to Chapter 18.10 to allow manufactured housing in all residential zones.
Program 8.8.1.d:As part of a comprehensive update of the City’s Zoning Code, the City’s
Community and Economic Development Department (CEDD)–Planning Division will amend its
density bonus provisions in accordance with the requirements of State density bonus law. The

restrictions.
Accomplishment: The City has drafted a new chapter to the Zoning Code providing for
density bonuses in accordance with the requirements of State density bonus law. The
adoption of this chapter is anticipated with the adoption of the Zoning Code Update in 2013.
In addition, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 260 establishing planned residential
development regulations that provide for density bonuses when energy efficient methods
are incorporated into project design.
Program 8.8.1.e:The City’s Redevelopment Agency will continue to allocate funds, a process
which began in 1993, for the upgrading and expansion of mobile home parks within the City.
Accomplishment: The now dissolved Community Redevelopment Agency funded a
neighborhood improvement grant program during fiscal year 08-09, 09-10 and 10-11.
The program provided $1,000 in grant money for exterior improvements to residential
properties such as landscaping material, paint and painting supplies, fencing, and garage
and front doors. Sixty-two residential properties were improved including nine mobile
home owners.
Program 8.8.1.f:The City Manager’s Office will continue to offer low interest bond financing
and redevelopment tax increment assistance in the form of land write down to qualified
developers for the construction of mixed use development, with the expectation that at least 50-
75 units will be provided and a requirement that 30% of the units (at least 20) will be affordable
to “very low” income households.
Accomplishment: A General Plan Update was adopted in April 2010, which identified a
mixed use land use category which would allow residential units. A specific plan is
intended for the development of this area, to include up to 75 residential units, including
affordable units.Due to the uncertainty of the I-215 Freeway/Barton Road interchange
development of the Specific Plan was put on hold by a developer. The City will continue
to require the residential component of the specific plan; however, with the dissolution of
redevelopment agencies and funds other funding sources will need to be found to
developer any city-initiated specific plan.
Program 8.8.1.g:The Housing Office will continue to utilize the services of the Inland Fair
Housing Mediation Board, through an existing contract with the County of San Bernardino, for
fair housing, landlord tenant dispute resolution and senior shared housing. The City will post a
notice of the City’s website to inform the public of the services of the Inland Fair Housing and
Mediation Board, and include a link to their website.Semi-annual activity reports will be
obtained from the Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board in order to monitor local
compliance with fair housing laws.
Accomplishment: The City’s website has been updated with a link to the Inland Fair
Housing Mediation Board. Although the services of the Inland Mediation Board are
available, there has not been any landlord/tenant disputes brought before the City for
resolution during the planning period.

a. No substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require
major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified significant effects;
b. No substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under
which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the
previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental
effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
significant effects; and ; or
c. No new information of substantial importance, which was not known and
could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at
the time the previous EIR was certified that would show that any of the
following exists:
(i) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed
in the previous EIR;
(ii) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more
severe than shown in the previous EIR;
(iii) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be
feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce
one or more significant effects of the project, but the project
proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative;
or
(iv) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different
from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce
one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project
proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
The Addendum reflects the independent judgment of the City Council.
2. The City Council finds as follows with respect to General Plan Amendment 16-
01b:
a. The General Plan Amendment promotes the Grand Terrace General Plan
and each element thereof, and leaves the General Plan a compatible,
integrated and internally consistent statement of goals and policies. The
amendment implements Housing Element Program 2 and fulfills Housing
Policies to promote and encourage development of housing, which varies
by type, design, form of ownership and size and to encourage infill
housing development and more intensive use of underutilized land for
residential construction.

NOW THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the City Council of
the City of Grand Terrace, as follows
SECTION 1. The City Council hereby finds that the Addendum to the General

satisfies the requirements of CEQA because:
a. No substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require
major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new

proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative;
or
(iv) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different
from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce
one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project
proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
The Addendum reflects the independent judgment of the City Council.
SECTION 2. The proposed zoning amendments will not be detrimental to the
health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare of the persons residing or working
within the neighborhood of the proposed amendments or injurious to property or
improvements in the neighborhood or within the city because the proposed zoning
amendments will promote variety in housing types available to different economic
segments of the community and reduce constraints on the provision of housing for
persons with special needs.
SECTION 3. The proposed zoning amendments are consistent with the
General Plan. Zoning Code Amendment 16-01 implements Housing Element Programs
2, 12 and 13, which are intended to facilitate development of housing consistent with the
City’s share of regional housing needs and reduce potential constraints on the provision
of housing for persons with special needs.
SECTION 4. The Zoning Map is revised to rezone the property referred to as
Assessor’s Parcel Number 1167-241-01 shown on Exhibit 1, attached hereto, from R1-
7.2 Single Family Residential to R3-24 High Density Residential.
SECTION 5. The Zoning Map is revised to place the R3-24 Overlay District on
the properties referred to as Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 0275-223-12, 0275-223-59
and 0275-223-60 shown on Exhibit 2, attached hereto. The base zoning designation for
these properties shall remain R2 Low-Medium Density Residential.
SECTION 6. Sections 18.06.295, 18.06.908 and 18.06.927 of Chapter 18.06
(Definitions) of Title 18 are amended to read as follows:
“18.06.295 - Family
“Family" means an individual or two or more persons living together as a single
housekeeping unit.”
“18.06.908 –Supportive Housing
“Supportive Housing” means housing with no limit on the length of stay, that is
occupied by the target population, and that is linked to onsite or offsite services that
assist the supportive housing resident in retaining the housing, improving his or her
health status, and maximizing his or her ability to live and, when possible work in the
community. “Target population” means persons with low incomes who have one or
more disabilities, including mental illness, HIV or AIDS, substance abuse, or other

as follows:
“Chapter 18.48 – R3-24 OVERLAY DISTRICT
18.48.010 – Purpose
The purpose of the R3-24 overlay district is to permit multi-family housing at a density of 20
to 24 units per acre as an optional alternative to the base zoning district to facilitate the
production of affordable housing. At the option of the property owner, the regulations
contained in this chapter may supersede the regulations of the base district.
18.48.020 – Applicability
a. The provisions of this chapter shall be applied only at the request of the property
owner for any site with the R3-24 Overlay designation on the Official Zoning Map when the
development includes a legally binding commitment to provide at least five percent of units
that are affordable to very-low-income households as defined in Section 50105 of the
Health and Safety Code, or at least ten percent of units that are affordable to lower-income
households as defined in Section 50079.5 of the Health and Safety Code.
b. All affordable housing units must be dispersed within the development whenever
feasible. Affordable housing units must be comparable with market-rate units in design,
appearance, materials, and finish quality.
c. All affordable housing units must be constructed concurrently with, and made
available for qualified occupants at the same time as, the market-rate housing units within
the development, unless the Affordable Housing Agreement provides an alternative
schedule for development.
18.48.030 –Development Regulations
Development applications in the R3-24 Overlay district shall comply with the same
regulations as apply for the R3-24 district as established in Chapter 18.10.
18.48.040 – Review Procedures
Development applications in the R3-24 Overlay district shall be processed as an
Administrative Site and Architectural Review Application pursuant to Section 18.63.020.C.
18.48.050 – Affordable Housing Agreement and Covenant
Prior to issuance of any building permit for a development exercising the R3-24 Overlay
option, the applicant shall enter into an Affordable Housing Agreement establishing a
minimum duration of affordability for the housing units as provided by Government Code
§ 65915(c)(1) and record a covenant on the title, all in a manner acceptable to the City
Attorney.

Addendum to the City of Grand Terrace General Plan FEIR
for the 2013-2021 Housing Element and Related Amendments
April 21, 2016
Overview
In 2010, the Grand Terrace City Council certified the Final Program Environmental Impact
Report for the General Plan Update (the “FEIR”). The City is required to adopt an updated
Housing Element for the 2013-2021 planning period. The purpose of this Addendum is to
demonstrate that the 2013-2021 Housing Element update and related amendments to the Land
Use Element and zoning regulations would not result in any of the conditions under which a
subsequent Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) or Negative Declaration would be required
pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166 or CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and
15164.
Purpose of an Addendum
CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines establish the type of environmental documentation that is
required when changes to a project occur or new information arises after an EIR is certified or a
Negative Declaration adopted for a project. CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 establishes criteria
for determining whether more detailed information, such as the preparation of a Subsequent or
Supplemental EIR, is needed, and Section 15164 defines the appropriate use of Addendums to
previous EIRs and Negative Declarations.
CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a) states:
When an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no
subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines on
the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the
following:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project, which will require major revisions in
the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
(2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project
is to be undertaken, which will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the
involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified significant effects.
(3) New information of substantial importance which was not known and could not have
been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was
certified as complete shows any of the following:
a. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the EIR.
b. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than
shown in the previous EIR
c. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in
fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of
the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure;
or
d. Mitigation measures or alternatives that are considerably different from those
analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more effects on
the environment but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation
measure.

FEIR Addendum for the 2013-2021 Housing Element and Related Amendments
City of Grand Terrace
April 21, 2015
Page 2
CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(b) states: “The Lead Agency or Responsible Agency shall
prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary
but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a
subsequent EIR have occurred.”
The following analysis demonstrates that the 2013-2021 Housing Element and related
amendments do not raise any new environmental issues and require only minor technical
changes or additions to the previous FEIR to satisfy the requirements of CEQA.
Project Description
The City is required to adopt an update to the General Plan Housing Element for the 2013-2021
planning period. A draft 2013-2021 Housing Element was prepared and submitted to the
California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) for review pursuant to
state law. In its letter of January 15, 2016, HCD found that the draft Housing Element complies
with most requirements of state law, however the element must also identify sites the City
proposes to rezone in order to accommodate the RHNA allocation.
The project evaluated in this Addendum includes adoption of the 2013-2021 Housing Element
and implementation actions as described below.
2013-2021 Housing Element Update
The following discussion summarizes the changes contained in each section of the 2013-2021
Housing Element.
Section 8.1: Introduction
This section provides an overview of the Housing Element and a summary of the public
participation process. No policy or regulatory changes are proposed in this section, and none of
the changes reflected in this section would result in the potential for significant environmental
impacts not previously considered in the General Plan FEIR.
Section 8.2: Relationship to Other Plans
This section describes the relationship between the Housing Element and other elements of the
General Plan. No policy or regulatory changes are proposed in this section, and none of the
changes reflected in this section would result in the potential for significant environmental
impacts not previously considered in the General Plan FEIR.
Section 8.3: Evaluation of the 2006-2013 Housing Element
This section together with Appendix 1 contain a review of the programs from the previous
element and identifies the City’s accomplishments as well as changes that are appropriate for
the new planning period based on changed circumstances. None of the revisions reflected in
this evaluation would change development regulations or result in the potential for significant
environmental impacts that were not previously considered in the General Plan FEIR.
Section 8.4: Community Profile
This section has been revised to reflect more recent demographic data, trends and special
housing needs. Most of the demographic information is based on the 2010 Census or the
American Community Survey. None of the revisions reflected in this section would change
development regulations or result in the potential for significant environmental impacts that were
not previously considered in the General Plan FEIR.

FEIR Addendum for the 2013-2021 Housing Element and Related Amendments
City of Grand Terrace
April 21, 2015
Page 3
Section 8.5: Housing Needs
This section also describes the City’s housing needs for the planning period, including growth
needs, special needs and housing at risk of conversion to market rate. The Regional Housing
Needs Assessment (RHNA), which identifies housing growth needs for the new planning period,
is summarized below.
Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA)
The City’s assigned share of regional housing need is an important component of the Housing
Element. The Southern California Association of Governments (“SCAG”) is responsible for
allocating a portion of the region’s new housing need to each jurisdiction. Grand Terrace’s share
of the regional housing need for the new Housing Element cycle is 118 units. The table below
shows the distribution of new housing need by income category that has been allocated to the
City in the RHNA. One of the key requirements of the Housing Element is to identify adequate
sites with appropriate zoning that could accommodate new housing development
commensurate with the assigned need in each income category. It should be emphasized that
the RHNA is a planning target, not a development mandate or quota. State law does not require
cities to achieve their RHNA targets or build housing.
Grand Terrace Regional Housing Need 2013-2021
Very-Low Low Moderate Above-Moderate Total
28 19 22 49 118
Source: SCAG, 2012
Notes: 50% of the Very-Low-Income need is assigned to the Extremely-Low-Income category pursuant to
Government Code §65583(a)(1)
This section also presents an inventory and analysis of available sites that could accommodate
the level of development assigned to Grand Terrace through the RHNA process. Although the
General Plan identifies sufficient capacity for new housing growth to accommodate the total
RHNA allocation, insufficient capacity exists to accommodate the very-low- and low-income
needs, and Program 2 in Section 8.7 (Housing Plan) includes actions to address this shortfall.
This section of the Housing Element also discusses various categories of special needs,
including the elderly, persons with disabilities, large families, female-headed households,
farmworkers and the homeless. No substantial changes in development regulations are
proposed with respect to these special needs that require major revisions to the General Plan
FEIR.
Section 8.6: Constraints
This section analyzes the City’s plans and regulations that guide housing development. The
most noteworthy changes reflect the completion of several state-mandated Code amendments
related to housing for persons with special needs. This chapter also discusses non-
governmental constraints such as infrastructure availability and development costs.
This section identifies minor changes to multi-family parking standards to allow carport rather
than garage spaces and the Zoning Code definition of family in order to reduce potential
constraints to lower-income housing and persons with special needs. These proposed changes
would not result in the potential for new significant environmental impacts that were not
previously considered in the General Plan FEIR.

FEIR Addendum for the 2013-2021 Housing Element and Related Amendments
City of Grand Terrace
April 21, 2015
Page 4
Section 8.7: Housing Plan
This section presents the City’s goals, objectives, policies and programs for the 2013-2021
planning period. Most of the changes in this chapter reflect the completion of programs in the
prior Housing Element and the statewide elimination of redevelopment agencies, and would not
result in new potentially significant impacts not previously considered in the General Plan FEIR.
Programs 2 and 12 and 13 call for the following amendments to the Land Use Element and
zoning regulations in order to ensure conformance with state housing law.
Program 2
Amendment to the Land Use Element and zoning regulations to provide capacity for at
least 42 additional units at a density of 20-24 units/acre commensurate with the RHNA.
Potential environmental impacts of this proposed amendment are discussed in the
Environmental Analysis and Conclusions section below.
Program 12
Process a Zoning Code amendment to allow required covered parking for multi-family
developments to be provided with either carports or garages. This minor amendment
would not result in the potential for significant environmental impacts that were not
previously considered in the General Plan FEIR.
Program 13
Amend the Zoning Code as it relates to transitional and supportive housing in
accordance with state law, so that such housing is subject only to those restrictions that
apply to other residential uses of the same type in the same zone. Amend the definition
of family in conformance with state law. These minor amendments are required by state
law and would not result in the potential for significant environmental impacts that were
not previously considered in the General Plan FEIR.
Section 8.8: Opportunities for Energy Efficiency
This section discusses actions the City can take to encourage more efficient use of energy in
compliance with state policies. None of the revisions reflected in this section would change
development regulations or result in the potential for significant environmental impacts that were
not previously considered in the General Plan FEIR.
Section 8.9: Financing Resources
This section discusses federal, state and local financing resources to facilitate production of
housing for all income levels. None of the revisions reflected in this section would change
development regulations or result in the potential for significant environmental impacts that were
not previously considered in the General Plan FEIR.
Housing Element Implementation Actions
The following General Plan and zoning amendments are proposed to implement Housing
Element Programs 2, 12 and 13:

FEIR Addendum for the 2013-2021 Housing Element and Related Amendments
City of Grand Terrace
April 21, 2015
Page 5
Amend Land Use Element Table 2.3 (General Plan Land Use Designations) to change
the maximum density in the Medium High Density Residential (MHDR) designation from
20 to 24 units/acre.
Amend the Zoning Code to create a new R3-24 district allowing multi-family
development with a density range of 20 to 24 units/acre.
Amend the Zoning Code to create a new R3-24 Overlay designation allowing multi-
family development at a density of 20 to 24 units/acre when at least 5% very-low-income
or 10% low-income units are provided as an optional alternative to the base zoning
designation.
Amend the General Plan Land Use Map to redesignate Site 1 (12201 Michigan St.) from
LDR to MHDR.
Amend the Zoning Map to redesignate Site 1 from R1-7.2 to R3-24.
Amend the General Plan Land Use Map and Zoning Map to apply the R3-24 Overlay
designation to the parcels in Site 2.
Amend the Zoning Code to allow required covered parking for multi-family developments
to be provided with either carports or garages.
Amend the Zoning Code to allow transitional and supportive housing subject only to
those restrictions that apply to other residential uses of the same type in the same zone.
Amend the Zoning Code definition of family in conformance with state law.
Environmental Analysis and Conclusions
Program 2 calls for changes in the Land Use Element and zoning regulations to create
additional capacity for at least 42 potential housing units at a density of 20-24 units/acre. These
amendments would make minor revisions to the distribution of land uses in the city by
increasing the amount of land designated in the General Plan for Medium High Density
Residential by 1.07 acres with a corresponding 1.07-acre reduction in the amount of land
designated for Low Density Residential, and applying an R3-24 overlay designation to
approximately 4 acres of property currently designated Medium Density Residential in the
General Plan. This overlay designation would provide the option for multi-family development at
a density of 20-24 units/acre when at least 5% affordable housing units are provided.
As compared to the General Plan analyzed in the FEIR, these proposed changes to land use
designations would result in a net potential increase of approximately 48 additional housing
units in the City if the optional overlay were utilized on all three affected parcels. These changes
would affect approximately 0.2% of the City’s land area, and the additional 48 potential units
represents an increase of approximately 0.8% in the total housing units projected in the General
Plan. These changes would require only minor revisions to FEIR Sections 4H (Land Use and
Planning and 4J (Population and Housing) to reflect revised statistics and would not result in
new significant impacts not previously evaluated in the FEIR.
The proposed land use changes would also be expected to result in an increase in traffic of
approximately 300 daily trips generated by the potential 48 additional housing units that could
be developed if the overlay designation were exercised on all three of the redesignated sites.
This potential traffic increase is not substantial in the context of the City’s circulation system and
would not result in new significant impacts not previously evaluated in the FEIR because all new
developments must be analyzed for conformance with the SANBAG Congestion Management

Program Traffic Impact Analysis Guidelines (Circulation Element Policy 3.1.5), which requires
appropriate mitigation for impacts to the circulation network.
No major revisions are required to other section of the FEIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
significant effects.
As discussed above, the proposed zoning changes noted in Programs 12 and 13 related to
parking standards, transitional and supportive housing, and the definition of family would not
result in the potential for significant environmental impacts that were not previously considered
in the General Plan FEIR. Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164,
a subsequent or supplemental EIR or IS/ND is not required.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 28, 2016 Council Item
TITLE: Amend Existing Agreement with Interwest Consulting Group
and Extend Term One Additional Year.
PRESENTED BY: Yanni Demitri, Public Works Director
RECOMMENDATION: 1) Approve Amendment No. 2 to the Professional
Services Agreement Between the City of Grand Terrace and
Interwest Consulting Group to extend the term, modify the
cost of services and add Permit In-taking Assessment
Services; and
2) Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Agreement
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports Goal #3 "Promote Economic Development" to ensure that our
residents continue to enjoy an outstanding quality of life.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On September 8, 2015 City entered into an agreement with Interwest Consulting Group
to provide Project Management Services for the I-215 / Barton Road Interchange
Project, and to prepare a Pavement Management Index Study. The Agreement was
amended (Amendment No. 1) on February 9, 2016, so that Interwest could prepare the
data needed by Caltrans as part of the Highway Performance Monitoring System
(HPMS), which directly impacts funding for Grand Terrace. The Pavement Management
Index Study and HPMS data collection have been completed.
I-215 Project Management Services
There is a continuing need for I-215 Project Management Services, and Staff is
recommending that the Council amend the contract to enter into a second year. The
term is being changed to coincide with fiscal year calendaring which facilitates
budgeting. Amendment No. 2 will extend the contract to June 30, 2017, and increase
the contract amount for the 16-17 Fiscal Year to $46,000.00. Overall the contract
amount for I-215 Project Management Services, including the initial term will be
$79,000.00.
Interwest Consulting Group has satisfactorily performed the following services and will
continue to provide them:
8
Packet Pg. 246
1. Act as an extension of City staff, advocating the interests of the City and its
residents through the PS&E phase of the PROJECT.
2. Serve as the City’s primary local engineering reviewer for the PROJECT.
3. Prepare written staff reports and presentations to the Public Works Director and
City Council.
4. Review SANBAG agendas for items relating to the PROJECT.
5. Attend monthly Project Development Team meetings, community meetings, and
other meetings as directed with City staff.
6. Represent the City of Grand Terraces’ interests in disseminating information to
public officials, community leaders, developers and the general public.
7. Provide technical assistance to City staff on matters related to PROEJCT
including civil, right of way, and traffic.
8. Proactively establish working relationships and coordination with Caltrans,
SANBAG, other public agencies, and utility companies.
10. Review PROJECT cooperative agreements; Freeway Maintenance, Landscape
and Enhancement Maintenance, and Electrical and Operations Maintenance.
Permit In-taking Assessment Services
In addition, the Planning and Development Services Director is proposing to contract
with Interwest to provide an assessment of Permit In-taking Services in our Building and
Safety Division, and provide and implement recommendations to assist us to streamline
our services. This cost is not to exceed $2,000.00.
With this added service, the overall contract amount with Interwest is $81,000.00
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total fiscal impact is $48,000.00. Amendment No. 2 becomes effective with the 16-
17 Fiscal Year, and there are sufficient funds in budget to cover these costs. Gas Tax
Funds will be used for I-215 Project Management Services ($46.000.00), and General
Fund funds will be used for Permit In-Taking Services ($2,000.00).

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 28, 2016 Council Item
TITLE: Resolution Establishing Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year
2016-17
PRESENTED BY: Cynthia Fortune, Finance Director
RECOMMENDATION: (1) Select the Change in Per Capita Personal Income of
5.37% as the Price Factor for the Fiscal Year 2016-17
Appropriations Limit Calculation;
(2) Select the Change in County of San Bernardino
Population of 0.93% as the Population Change Factor for the
Fiscal Year 2016-17 Appropriations Limit Calculation; and,
(3) Adopt Resolution 2016-____ Establishing Appropriations
Limit of $12,753,101 for the City of Grand Terrace for Fiscal
Year 2016-17.
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports City Council Goal #1, “Ensure Our Fiscal Viability,” through
the continuous monitoring of revenue receipts and expenditure disbursements against
approved budget appropriations.
BACKGROUND:
On November 6, 1979, California voters approved the Gann Spending Limitation
Initiative (Proposition 4) establishing Article XIIIB of the State Constitution. Article XIIIB
sets limits on the amount of tax revenues that the State and most local governments
can appropriate within a given fiscal year. Its basic provisions are as follows:
Each year, the State and local governments must adopt a resolution establishing
an Appropriations Limit, also known as the “Gann Limit”. Fiscal Year 1984-85
appropriations serve as the base for this limit, with adjustments being made
annually to reflect increases in population, the cost of living, and financial
responsibility transfers.
Only tax proceeds are subject to the limit. Charges for services, regulatory fees,
grants, loans, donations and other non-tax proceeds are not subject to the limit.
Exemptions are also made for voter-approved debt, debt that existed prior to
January 1, 1979, and for the cost of compliance with court or Federal
government mandates.
10
Packet Pg. 322
All tax revenues received in excess of the Appropriations Limit must be refunded
to taxpayers within a two-year period.
The voters may approve an increase in the Appropriations Limit. For the
increase to remain in effect, however, it must be re-approved by voters at four-
year intervals.
On June 5, 1990, California voters approved the Traffic Congestion Relief and Spending
Limitation Act (Proposition 111), which made various amendments to Article XIIIB of the
State Constitution. The major changes, which became effective July 1, 1990, are as
follows:
The change in the cost of living is defined to be either the change in California
per capita personal income or the change in assessed valuation due to the
addition of non-residential new construction. Previously, the change in the cost
of living was defined as the lesser of the change in the U.S. Consumer Price
Index or the change in California per capita personal income.
The change in population is defined as either a change in the City’s population or
a change in the County’s population, whichever is greater.
“Qualified capital outlay projects” were added to the items exempted from the
Appropriations Limit. Qualified capital outlay projects must have a useful life of
ten or more years and a cost that equals or exceeds $100,000.
Tax revenues received in excess of the Appropriations Limit must be refunded to
taxpayers only if the limit is exceeded over a two-year period.
The annual calculation of the Appropriations Limit must be reviewed as part of the City’s
annual financial audit.
DISCUSSION:
As indicated above, Proposition 111 made several changes to the method used to
calculate the Appropriations Limit. The change in the cost of living (or “price factor”) is
defined to be either the change in California per capita personal income or the change
in assessed valuation due to the addition of non-residential new construction. Following
are the two options for the City’s FY 2016-17 Appropriations Limit calculation:
1) Change in California per capita personal income (provided by California
Department of Finance): 5.37%
2) Change in Grand Terrace assessed valuation from 2015 to 2016 due to the
addition of non-residential new construction: This information is not yet available
from the County Assessor’s office. When the data is available, if it is greater than
the change in California per capita personal income, the Appropriations Limit will
be revised and resubmitted to the City Council for approval.
10
Packet Pg. 323
Based on the above information, the change in California per capita personal income
has been used as the price factor for the FY 2016-17 Appropriations Limit calculation.
The “population factor” to be used in calculating the Appropriations Limit is defined by
Proposition 111 as either a change in the City’s population or a change in the County’s
population, whichever is greater. Per information provided by the California Department
of Finance, following are the population changes from 2015 to 2016:
1) Change in City of Grand Terrace population: 0.65%
2) Change in San Bernardino County population: 0.93%
Since Option 2 (change in County of Grand San Bernardino population) is greater than
the City of Grand Terrace population change, it is recommended to be used as the
population factor for the FY 2016-17 Appropriations Limit calculation.
Exhibit A provides the calculation of the FY 2016-17 Appropriations Limit using the
recommended price and population factors. Exhibit B identifies the revenues that are
classified as tax proceeds and those that are classified as non-tax proceeds for
Appropriations Limit purposes. Exhibit C is the Department of Finance letter providing
the per capita personal income and population change information used in the
Appropriations Limit calculation.
The City’s Appropriations Limit for FY 2015-16 was $11,991,632. The recommended
change factor, as allowed by Proposition 111 due to cost of living and population
changes, is 1.0635. This results in a FY 2016-17 Appropriations Limit of $12,753,101.
The FY 2016-17 Proposed Budget contains appropriations subject to the Appropriations
Limit of $3,554,529 which is $9,198,572 below the City’s legal limit.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with adoption of the FY 2016-17 Appropriations
Limit, as the City is safely within its legal appropriations limit for FY 2016-17.

Attachment A
A. Price Factor: Article XIII B specifies that local jurisdictions select their cost of living
factor to compute their appropriation limit by a vote of their governing body. The cost of living factor provided here is per capita personal income. If the percentage
change in per capita personal income is selected, the percentage change to be used
in setting the fiscal year 2016-17 appropriation limit is:
Per Capita Personal Income Fiscal Year Percentage change
(FY) over prior year
2016-17 5.37
B. Following is an example using sample population change and the change in
California per capita personal income as growth factors in computing a 2016-17 appropriation limit.
2016-17:
Per Capita Cost of Living Change = 5.37 percent
Population Change = 0.90 percent
Per Capita Cost of Living converted to a ratio: 5.37 + 100 = 1.0537 100
Population converted to a ratio: 0.90 + 100 = 1.0090
100
Calculation of factor for FY 2016-17:
1.0537 x 1.0090 = 1.0632
