PROPOSAL: The Applicant, Andresen Architecture, representing Herman Hilkey, is requesting an approval of Site & Architectural Review 22 -19 to construct a 3,789-square foot single family home with an attached 2-car garage, a detached 4-car garage, and walk-out deck on a vacant parcel approximately 0.8-acres in size (APN’s:0276-251-23,24,25) with access to the public right-of-way through an existing easement, located in the R1 -20- Very Low Density Single Family Residential Zoning District. SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA: C.1 Packet Pg. 9 The site is located behind 21396 Glendora Drive, zoned R1-20 Very Low-Density Single Family. Access to the site is from Glendora Avenue through an existing access easement. The site is currently vacant (Attachment 1). The site is surrounded by a single-family home to the north, south, east and west all zoned R -1-20 Very Low- Density Single Family. ANALYSIS: General Plan and Zoning Consistency The proposed residential project is consistent with the Grand Terrace Municipal Code and the intent of the General Plan. The project is zoned R -20-V-Low Density Single Family Residential and has a Low-Density Residential Land Use Designation (Attachment 3). The proposed development is consistent with the zoning as it is intended for very low single family detached residential uses, and it meets the Municipal Code development standards as the proposed use is permitted and meets building height, lot coverage, setbacks and minimum living area. The proposal is also consistent with the Housing Element which encourages infill housing and private development of underutilized land for residential construction. Site Plan/Grading/Improvements The site design conforms to setback, height limits, and lot coverage requirements of the RI-20 V-Low Density Residential zone. Improvements include but are not limited to concrete driveway, required parking, porch entry, landscape, perimeter fencing, and street/sidewalk improvements (Attachment 2). The project site proposes a variety of retaining walls as the site sits on a hillside with a significant grade difference to the north and west. The walls will be constructed along the north, south and west property lines. The retaining walls are 6 -foot in height with a 42” wrought iron fence above the walls. In accordance with the Zoning Code, the Applicant is required to complete all right-of-way improvements including, but not limited, driveway approach, dedication, and restoration of any public improvements damaged during construction (Attachment 2). Landscape Plan The conceptual landscape plan shows a combination of new evergreen and deciduous trees as well as low water use shrubs that provide color and interest to the landscape. Decorative coble and gravel complete the front landscaping. A final landscape and irrigation plan in accordance with the City's Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance wil l be required and landscape improvements shall be completed prior to final inspection. Architectural Elevations/Floor Plans The architectural elevations show a two-story home with traditional style features. The C.1 Packet Pg. 10 floor plan identifies two master suits on the ground floor and two additional bedrooms and loft on the second floor. A two-car attached garage plus a carport and detached 3 - car garage is proposed (Attachment 4). The applicant is proposing to use a neutral-tone color scheme, with darker contrasting accent colors. The primary color is proposed to be “Whiskers”, with accent trim colors of a darker “Dusty Brick” and “Mayan Chocolate”. The roof will be asphalt composition shingle in “Monte Sereno Blend” (Attachment 5). AGENCY REVIEW: The plans were distributed to various agencies for their comments. Conditions of approval related to Building and Safety are included on the memorandum dated July 18, 2023, included in the draft resolution as Exhibit 1. Conditions of approval related to Public Works are in cluded on the memorandum dated July 7, 2023, included in the draft resolution as Exhibit 2. San Bernardino County Fire has reviewed the plans and provided conditions of approval in memorandum dated April 19, 2023, identified as Permit No: FRFL -2023-00547 and 00548, included in the draft resolution as Exhibit 3. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The Project to construct a single-family unit is categorically exempt per the California Environmental Quality Act, Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15303(a), which exempts new construction or conversion of small structures, particularly one single family residence, or a second dwelling unit in a residential zone. In urbanized areas, up to three single-family residences may be constructed or converted under this exemption. A Notice of Exemption has been prepared and included for adoption. PUBLIC NOTICE: Public notice was published in the Grand Terrace City News and mailed to property owners within 500 feet of the site. In addition, a copy of the notice was posted in three public places. To date, City staff has received two requests to review the plans. One had no further comments. The second questioned the location of the property line and the access easement on parcel 0276-251-23. The location of easement along with the property line were verified with the engineer of record and are accurately shown on the grading plan. CONCLUSION: The proposed single-family home is consistent with the General Plan and Land Use designation, the Municipal Code and the Government Code fo r single family C.1 Packet Pg. 11 development. The construction of the single -family residence and garage will complement and enhance the surrounding area. Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the attached resolution and approve the project.

Based upon the forgoing and all oral and written communications from members of the public and City staff (including, but not limited to, all oral and written staff reports and attachments) presented at the September 7, 2023, public hearing, the Planning Commission/Site and Architectural Review Board finds as follows with respect to Site and Architectural Review 22-19 a. The Project is consistent with the intent of the Grand Terrace Municipal Code and General Plan. The proposed single-family home is consistent with the General Plan and is consistent and with the Grand Terrace Municipal Code, which supports residential uses. The project is zoned R-20-V-Low Density Single Family Residential and has a Lo w Density Residential Land Use Designation. The proposed development is consistent with the zoning as it is intended for very low single family detached residential uses, and it meets the Municipal Code development standards as the proposed use is permitted and it meets building height, lot coverage, setbacks and minimum living area. The proposal is also consistent with the Housing Element which encourages infill housing and private development of underutilized land for residential construction. b. The location and configuration of all structures associated with this Project are visually harmonious with this site and surrounding sites and structures, as they do not interfere with the neighbor’s privacy and do not unnecessarily block scenic views from other structures and/or public areas and are in scale with the townscape and natural landscape of the area. The proposed building architecture will be compatible with the adjacent developments. The Project proposes to construct a two-story single-family home with traditional style features, as well as an attached two-car garage, a carport, and a detached 3 - car garage. The site design conforms to setback, height limits, and lot coverage requirements of the RI-20 V-Low Density Residential zone. Improvements include but are not limited to concrete driveway, required parking, porch entry, landscape, perimeter fencing, and street/sidewalk improvements. The project site proposes a variety of retaining walls as the site sits on a hillside with a significant grade difference to the north and west. The walls will be constructed along the north, south and west property lines. The retaining walls are 6-foot in height with a 42” wrought iron fence above the walls. These improvements are visually harmonious to the site and surrounding area, and will not block scenic views from other structures. These features are in scale with the townscape and natural landscape of the area. c. The architectural design of structures, their materials an d colors are visually harmonious with surrounding development, natural landforms, are functional for the proposed project and are consistent with this code. The neutral-tone color C.1.k Packet Pg. 35 At t a c h m e n t : S A 2 2 - 1 9 R e s o l u t i o n F i n a l ( S A 2 2 - 1 9 , a n d E 2 2 - 1 7 ) 01247.0001/919526.1 Page 3 of 13 scheme for the residence is compatible with the surrounding development. The primary color is proposed to be “Whiskers”, with accent trim colors are darker and complimentary. The roof will be asphalt composition shingle in “Monte Sereno Blend”. d. The plan for landscaping and open spaces provide s a functional and visually pleasing setting for the structures on this site and is harmonious with the natural landscape of the area and nearby developments . The project proposes to update the front landscape which incorporates a combination of new evergreen and deciduous trees as well as low water use shrubs that provide color and interest to the landscape. Decorative coble and gravel complete the front landscaping. The proposed landscape visually enhances the site, is compatible with the surrounding development. e. There is no indiscriminate clearing of property, destruction of trees or natural vegetation or the excessive and unsightly grading of hillsides, thus the natural beauty of the city, its setting and natural landforms are preserved. The project is proposed in the relatively flat portion of the site. The project proposes to construct a two-story single-family home with traditional style features, as well as an attached two-car garage, a carport, and a detached 3-car garage this will require the removal of 2 existing trees and natural vegetation located along the east and south side of the site. g.
