MULTI-TENANT SHOPPING CENER LOCATED AT 22881
BARTON ROAD, GRAND TERRACE, CA (APN: 0276-202-
25-0000)
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This item supports Goal 3 to Promote Economic Development and Goal 2.3 to Provide
a wide range of retail and service commercial opportunities designated to meet the
needs of the City's residents, businesses, and visitors while also prov iding employment
opportunities.
PROPOSAL:
Lan’s International Real Estate Investments, LLC (“Applicant”) represented by Jonathan
L. Zane of “Jonathan L. Zane Architecture”, has filed Site and Architectural Review 22 -
01, Minor Deviation 22-01, and Environmental 22-01 applications to construct a 4,706
square-foot multi-tenant commercial building on a 0.51-acre site, located at 22881
Barton Road (APN: 0276-202-25-0000). The Project includes three tenant spaces
measuring 1,412 square-feet, 1,479 square-feet, and 1,812 square-feet, respectively.
The proposed site improvements include, landscaping, parking, trash enclosure, loading
area, access, lighting, street dedication, public art, and street improvements. A Minor
Deviation has been submitted for a minor encroachment of the trash enclosure and two
parking spaces within the front landscaping setback. The Project’s hours of operation
will remain consistent with the Noise Ordinance. The Sign Program for this Project has
not been submitted but it has been conditioned to the project. In addition, a Public Art
C.1
Packet Pg. 7
piece has been included as a condition to the project.
The Project is zoned Barton Road Specific Plan ("BRSP"), Administrative Professional
(AP).
SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA:
The Project site is a vacant lot, located at the southwest corner of Barton Road and
Preston Street. The site is on the eastern boundary of the Barton Road Specific Plan
identified as Administrative Professional-Planning Area 3. The site is restricted by its
size and irregular quadrilateral shape. The Property’s width in the east side is
approximately 49-feet larger than the west side; in addition, the topography slopes from
the southeast corner towards the northwest corner by approximately 10 -feet. The site is
surrounded by existing residential development.
Surrounding uses are as follows:

Residential
Low Density

East R1-7.2-Single Family

Low Density

Single Family Residential
Sout
h
BRSP-Administrative
Professional
Office Commercial Multi-family Residential
West BRSP-Administrative
Professional
Office Commercial Multi-family Residential
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY ANALYSIS:
The BRSP provides that Site and Architectural review shall be consistent with the City's
design standards, including title 18 of the City's Municipal Code.
Land Use Element
The property is designated Office Commercial (“OC”) on the General Plan Land Use
Map. The Project is consistent with the General Commercial Land Use Designation
which goal is to support growth of undeveloped properties within the City, promote new
commercial development, and increase administrative, commercial, and retail
opportunities.
Circulation
The Project is consistent with the Circulation Element. Barton Road is a Major Highway
C.1
Packet Pg. 8
with 100-feet right-of-way servicing major commercial areas and has direct access to
the Interstate 215. The Applicant will provide the ultimate street improvements as
determined by the Public Works Department, including a 10 -foot dedication at Barton
Road and a 3-feet dedication at Preston Street.
Pursuant to the City’s Municipal Code Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) and Traffic Impact
Analysis (TIA) Guidelines established in July 2020, the project will not require a TIA
because all retail projects less than 50,000 square feet are screened and presumed to
have a less than significant impact absent substantial evidence to the contrary.
In addition, the Project meets the Municipal Code parking requirements for uses
proposing 1 parking space/200 square feet. The Applicant provided a Trip Generation
and Parking Analysis prepared by K2 Traffic Engineering, Inc, which demonstrates the
“Project is expected to generate 12 trips in the AM peak hour, 20 trips in the PM peak
hour, and 259 daily trips. The Project is expected to have no impact or less than
significant impact to nearby roadways and intersections.” The proposed onsite
circulation and parking demand can support the Project’s needs and the intent of the
Circulation Element.
Staff has included a Condition of Approval to ensure that any future uses will not be
approved unless parking can be supported. Assembly uses and other uses which are
not consistent with the approved parking capacity will be prohibited.
Noise
The Project is consistent with the Noise Element. The Project site is surrounded by
residential uses; however, the proposed multi-tenant commercial building has been
oriented so pedestrian and vehicular (ingress and egress) acce ss will take place
exclusively of Barton Road. The rear side of the building fronts Preston Street to the
east, the building structure and proposed landscape to the east will provide separation
and serve as a noise barrier between the multi -tenant building activities and the existing
residential developments. In addition, the Project will incorporate noise barriers such as
decorative six-foot high perimeter block walls to the south and west, with a combination
of landscape planting material and evergreen tr ees. The Grand Terrace Noise Element
identifies 65dB as a normally acceptable exterior noise level for residential and
retail/office commercial uses. The proposed use is no different to existing retail/office
uses located in the same zoning designation; co nsequently, there will be no anticipated
noise impacts. In addition, Assembly uses such as gyms, dance studios, private schools
and other similar uses will be prohibited; furthermore, the hours of operation have been
conditioned from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m . The Project is not proposing extended after-
hours operation activities for tenants; therefore, the Project has been strictly conditioned
for compliance with the Noise Ordinance for hours of operation, business activities, and
deliveries.
Water Quality
In compliance with the Open Space and Conservation Element, the Applicant has
C.1
Packet Pg. 9
prepared a Preliminary Water Quality Management Plan and a Preliminary Soils
Engineering Investigation Report. The structure and site improvements will be built
strictly in compliance with the current Grand Terrace Building Code and the San
Bernardino County Fire Department Regulations.
ZONING CONSISTENCY ANALYSIS:
The project is zoned Barton Road Specific Plan-Administrative Professional ("BRSP-
AP"), this zoning designation is intended to accommodate office/commercial uses and
multi-family development. The Project meets development standards of the BRSP -AP,
Master Plan Area 5 relating to commercial buildings, architecture, color, and scale. The
Project also meets structural, building height, building coverage, and parking
requirements. The landscaping setback located to the north side of the Project complies
with the Minor Deviation requirements of the Municipal Code.
Minor Deviation
The 0.51-acre site is restricted by its size, irregular quadrilateral shape, and topography.
The Property’s width in the east side is approximately 49-feet larger than the west side.
In addition, the topography slopes from the southeast corner towards the northwest
corner by 10-feet. Due to these special circumstances, a Minor Deviation has been
applied for a small encroachment. The north corner of the proposed trash enclosure and
the north corner of the two parking spaces located on the northwest side encroaches
into the fifteen-foot landscaping setback requirement. The proposed encroachment is
approximately 14%, therefore; a Minor Deviation can be supported for a modification to
the setback requirements as long as the modification does not exceed 20%. This small
landscape reduction will be compensated by enhancing all proposed landscaping areas,
especially the areas fronting Barton Road and Preston Street.
The findings in support of the Minor Deviation are included in the attached Resolution.
Grading/Site Plan
The size, shape, and topography of the lot is challenging. The Property’s width is 62-
feet in the west side and approximately 130 -feet on the east side. In addition, the
topography slopes from the southeast corner to the northwest corner by approximately
10-feet. The building is located on the east side of the property, this location allows to
maximize the parking, accommodate the trash enclosure, and create separation from
the existing residential uses located to the east and south. The loading zone and
handicap spaces have direct access to the building entrances.
The Project will include a perimeter retaining wall to the south and west. The proposed
retaining walls have been conditioned to be constructed of decorative material. Walls
located within the front setback will have an initial height of 3 feet and gradually increase
in height to six feet.
The proposed vehicular ingress and egress will take place from Barton Road. The
proposed access located to the east side of the property will be conditioned to be a
C.1
Packet Pg. 10
“right side only.”
Due to site restrictions, the trash enclosure is proposed to be located on the north side,
between the parking and the front landscape setback. The trash enclosure has been
conditioned to be constructed of a decorative material. The proposed location will
facilitate trash services and direct access from the suites. In addition, climbing vines and
bushes have been conditioned to be planted around the perimeter of the trash
enclosure. The Applicant will comply with Burrtec requirements.
The front landscape area will also include an art component, pursuant to the Public Art
Ordinance.
Architectural Floor Plans/Elevations/Landscape
The multi-tenant Project is proposing three commercial units measuring 1,412 square -
feet, 4,479 square-feet, and 1,812 square-feet respectively.
The proposed building structure will comply with the general architectural guidelines for
all development established by the BRSP. The four -sided architecture of the building
will include significant massing, vertical wall articulation, significant arch details, stone
veneer to accent all the columns, and decorative trim. The earthy color palette includes
browns/neutral shades consistent with the natural landforms of the city. The proposed
building height is consistent with the zoning, varying from the sh ortest vertical element
at 10’-8” to the highest architectural parapet element at 23’-8”. The Project’s
architecture will complement surrounding development.
The Project requires a total of 20% landscape area, which includes 15% site landscape
area and 5% parking landscape area. The Project is exceeding the minimum landscape
requirement proposing a total of 25%. The landscape areas are located around the
perimeter of the property. The proposed landscape will include evergreen trees, such as
Little Gem Magnolias, Bottlebrush, and Evergreen Pear trees. The Projects planting
material includes Orchid Rock Rose, Pink Rock Rose, Rosemary, Pink Lady, Lantanas,
African Lily, Coyote Brush, and Hacienda Creeper Vine. The proposed trash enclosure
will be conditioned to include planting vines and bushes around the perimeter wall to
enhance and disguised the structure. The streetscape will include Magnolia trees, and
groundcover. Rosa Iceberg (Floribunda Rose) will be conditioned to be included. The
Landscape and Irrigation Plan will be conditioned to include a variety of multiple -colored
drought tolerant and pollinating species, to be reviewed and approved by the Planning
Division during the plan checking stage. In addition, the landscape will be conditioned for
compliance with the Municipal Code and with the most recent Model Water Efficient
Landscape Ordinance by the State of California.
Sign Program
A Sign Program is required for all new multi-tenant developments, as it establishes
specific sign regulations and design characteristics to achieve architectural consistency
with the project design.
C.1
Packet Pg. 11
The project requires the submittal of a Sign Program to be reviewed and approved by
the Planning Division Site and Architectural Review Board. The sign program
application has not been received; however, the Project will be condition to submit a
Sign Program Application and receive Planning Commission Approval prior to the
issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy. The anticipated Sign Program will include
a monument sign and wall sign areas for each of the tenant suites. The proposed sign
program will be required to be consistent with the scale and character of the building
and the meet the Municipal Code Sign requirements.
AGENCY REVIEW COMMENTS:
The Project Plans were distributed to various agencies and City Departments for review
and comments have been included on the resolution from Building and Safety, Public
Works, and San Bernardino County Fire.
The Applicant shall comply with any additional requirements establishe d by the
Riverside Highland Water Company, Burrtec, and Colton Water and Wastewater
Division.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The Project qualifies for a categorical exemption, pursuant to Section 15332 of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, which exempts infill projects
that (a) are consistent with the general plan designation and zoning regulations; (b) the
development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres
substantially surrounded by urban uses; (c) the site has no value as habitat for
endangered, rare or threatened species; (d) approval of the Project would not result in
any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; and (e) the
site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public service.
PUBLIC NOTICE:
Public notice of the Project was published in Grand Terrace City News, posted at three
public places and mailed to property owners within 500-foot radius of the site. To date,
staff has not received any comments.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Project is consistent with the Administrative Professional Designation which goal is
to create a dynamic "downtown" commercial center that is attractive and of high quality,
unifying community design image, reflective of a "village" identity, and providing an
economically viable setting for a balanced mixture of commercial and
administrative/professional uses with safe, efficient circulation and access. The Project
is consistent with the zoning requirements. The Minor Deviation supporting a small
reduction of the front landscaping setback to accommodate the trash enclosure and two
parking spaces is consistent with the Municipal Code requirements. The Traffic Impact
Assessment and Parking Demand Analysis demonstrates there are no anticipated
C.1
Packet Pg. 12
issues. The building architecture and landscape will enhance the “downtown” character
of the Barton Road Corridor and will complement the surrounding development. Staff
recommends adoption of the attached Resolution adopting and finding an
environmental exemption for the Project pursuant to section 15332 of the CEQA
guidelines and approving the Project.

structural, building height, building coverage, and parking requirements. The
landscaping setbacks follow the Minor Deviation stipulations on the north
landscaping area.
General Plan Land Use Map
The property is designated Office Commercial ("OC") on the General Plan Land
Use Map. The proposed development is consistent with the General Office
Commercial Land Use Element which supports growth of undeveloped
properties within the City, promotes new commercial development, and
increases administrative, commercial and retail opportunities designed to meet
the needs of the City’s residents, businesses, and visitors. Properties
designated Office Commercial are primarily located along the east of Barton
Road and create a buffer between residential and general commercial areas.
The Project is consistent with the Circulation Element. Barton Road is a Major
Highway with a 100-foot right-of-way, which provides direct service to major
commercial areas and provides a well-maintained roadway system. The
proposed Project will provide the ultimate street improvements at Barton Road
and Preston Street as determined by the Public Works Department. The Project
is proposing 25 parking spaces, which meets the parking requirements of the
City’s Municipal Code. The project is also consistent with the City’s Vehicle
Miles Traveled (VMT) Resolution and Traffic Impact Analysis Guidelines
established in July 2020. The proposed on-site circulation and parking demand
can support the Project and no traffic study is required.
The Project is consistent with the Noise Element. The Project site is adjacent to
residential uses. The zoning to the west and south is designated BRSP-AP and
the zoning to the north and east is designated R1-7.2-Single Family
Residential. The proposed multi-tenant building has been oriented so that the
main entrance to the building and the vehicular ingress and egress access
takes place exclusively off of Barton Road. The east and south side of the
building will not have any direct access to the residential area at Preston Street;
however, the architecture and landscape areas will complement the
surrounding development. The orientation of the building will serve as a noise
buffer between the multi-tenant building and the existing residential; therefore,
the Project will not cause noise impacts to adjacent properties. In addition, the
Project will incorporate noise barriers such as decorative perimeter block walls
with a combination or landscape and evergreen trees. The City’s Noise
Element residential and general commercial uses have the maximum exterior
noise standard of 65dB. The proposed use is no different from other existing
retail/office uses located in the surrounding area ; consequently, there will be
no anticipated noise impacts. In addition, the Project is not proposing extended
after-hours operation activities for tenants; therefore, the Project has been
conditioned for compliance with the Noise Ordinance for hours of operation,

business activities, and deliveries. The Municipal Code requires after-hours of
operation activities to be reviewed and approved with a CUP review process.
In compliance with the Open Space and Conservation Element, the Applicant
has prepared a Water Quality Management Pan and a Preliminary Soils
Engineering Investigation Report. The structure will be built in compliance with
the Building Code and San Bernardino County Fire Department Regulations.
b. The location and configuration of all structures associated with this Project are
visually harmonious with this site and surrounding sites and structures, that
they do not interfere with the neighbors' privacy, that they 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 four-sided
architecture of the building will be visually harmonious on an otherwise vacant
lot. The structure has been oriented towards the eastern side of the property
allowing for the main entrances to be located to the north and west sides of the
building; thereby, restricting vehicular and pedestrian access exclusively to
Barton Road. The rear side of the building located at Preston Street will not
include customer access; this location will include an enhanced perimeter
landscape providing privacy for adjacent residents and creating a good
transition between uses. The Project’s perimeter to the south and west will
include decorative retaining walls and landscaping perimeter areas that will
create a separation between adjacent uses. Overall, the Project will not
interfere with the neighbors’ privacy and there are no scenic views in the area
that can be blocked by the proposed development.
c. The architectural design of structures, their materials, and colors are visually
harmonious with the surrounding development, natural landforms, are
functional for the Project and are consistent with the Grand Terrace Municipal
Code. The proposed building structure will comply with the general architectural
guidelines for all development established by the BRSP. The four-sided
architecture of the building will include significant massing, vertical wall
articulation, significant arch details, stone veneer to accent all the columns, and
decorative trim. The earthy color palette includes browns/neutral shades
consistent with the natural landforms of the city. The proposed building height is
consistent with the zoning, and it ranges from 10’-8” to the highest architectural
parapet element at 23’-8”. The Project’s architecture will complement
surrounding development. Overall, the Project is consistent with the BRSP
goals and objectives to create a “dynamic” commercial center, promote
economic development, and enhance the downtown character.
d. The plan for landscaping and open spaces provides 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 requires a
total of 20% landscape area (15% landscape site area, plus 5% parking
landscape). The Project is proposing a 25% landscape area, including a fifteen-

foot landscaping setback to the north (Barton Road), a ten-foot landscape
setback to the east (Preston Street), and a five-foot perimeter landscape
setback to the south and west. The proposed perimeter landscaped areas will
include evergreen trees, such as Little Gem Magnolias, Bottlebrush, and
Evergreen Pear trees. The Projects planting material includes Orchid Rock
Rose, Pink Rock Rose, Rosemary, Pink Lady, Lantanas, African Lily, Coyote
Brush, and Hacienda Creeper Vine. The proposed trash enclosure will be
conditioned to include planting vines and bushes around the perimeter to
enhance and disguised the structure. The streetscape will include Magnolia
trees, groundcover, and Rosa Iceberg (Floribunda Rose) will be conditioned to
be included. The Applicant will be required to enhance all the landscaping
areas; therefore, the Landscape and Irrigation Plan will be conditioned to
include a variety of multiple-colored drought tolerant and pollinating species, to
be reviewed and approved by the Planning Division during the plan checking
stage. Overall, the Project is proposing a landscape area greater than the
minimum requirement that will be harmonious with the natural landscape of the
area and surrounding uses. The landscape will be conditioned for compliance
with the Municipal Code and with the most recent Model Water Efficient
Landscape Ordinance by the State of California.
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. Necessary
Grading is proposed to accommodate the project. The perimeter retaining walls
will include landscape areas to soften the look. There will be no destruction of
trees or natural vegetation.
f. The design and location of all signs associated with this Project are consistent
with the scale and character of the building to which they are attached or
otherwise associated with and are consistent with the Grand Terrace Municipal
Code. A Sign Program is required for all new multi-tenant developments. The
Sign Program will establish specific sign regulations and design characteristics
to achieve architectural consistency. The reviewing and approving authority is
the Planning Commission Site and Architectural Review Board. The Project will
be condition to submit a Sign Program Application and receive Planning
Commission Approval prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. The
anticipated Sign Program will include a monument sign and wall sign areas for
each of the tenant suites. The proposed signs will be required to be consistent
with the scale and character of the building and meet the Municipal Code sign
requirements.
g. Conditions of approval for this Project necessary to secure the purposes of the
Grand Terrace Municipal Code and General Plan have been applied to the
Project.

5. 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 March 2, 2023, public hearing, the
Planning Commission/Site and Architectural Review Board hereby finds as follows
with respect to Minor Deviation 22-01:
a. A special circumstance regarding the size, shape, topography, location, or
surroundings of the subject property exists. The site is restricted by its size and
irregular quadrilateral shape; the Property’s width in the east side is
approximately 49-feet larger than the west side. In addition, the topography
slopes from the southeast corner towards the northwest corner by 10-feet. Due
to these special circumstances, a Minor Deviation has been applied for a small
encroachment. The north corner of the proposed trash enclosure and the north
corner of the two parking spaces located on the northwest side encroach into
the fifteen-foot landscaping setback requirement. A Minor Deviation can be
supported for a modification to the setback requirements as long as the
modification does not exceed 20%. This small landscape reduction will be
compensated by enhancing all proposed landscaping areas, especially the
areas fronting Barton Road and Preston Street.
b. Because of the special circumstance, the strict application of the zoning
ordinance deprives the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other property
in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification. The project is proposing
a minimal encroachment into the fifteen-foot landscaping setback located on
the north side of the property. In accordance with Section 18.89.050 of the
Zoning Code a Minor Deviation may be granted for a modification that is 20%
or less from the requirement. The minor encroachment of the trash enclosure
and the minor encroachment of the two parking spaces into the landscaping
setback are within the Minor Deviation stipulation; therefore, the proposal is in
accordance with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
c. The granting of the Minor Deviation will not constitute the grant of special
privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity
and district in which the property is situated. The Minor Deviation represents
approximately 14% of the required 15-feet landscape area; well within the 20%
reduction allowance; therefore, the granting of this Minor Deviation will not
constitute the granting of special privileges.
d. The granting of the Minor Deviation will not authorize a use or activity which is
not otherwise expressly authorized by the BSRP governing the parcel of
property. The minor reduction of fifteen-foot landscape front setback to
accommodate a portion of the two parking spaces and a portion of the trash
enclosure will not authorize a use or activity not permitted in the underlying
zone district. The proposed multi-tenant commercial development is a
permissible use in the BRSP-AP zoning designation. The Minor Deviation is
permissible within the Municipal Code and a Variance is not being considered.

e. The granting of the Minor Deviation will not result in a situation inconsistent
with the latest adopted General Plan. The project is consistent with the General
Plan Land Use designation as it promo tes growth of undeveloped properties,
promotes new commercial development and increases administrative,
commercial and retail opportunities in the community.
f. Conditions necessary to secure the above findings are made a part of the
approval of the Minor Deviation.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, 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 March 2,
