ADOPTING AN ENVIRONMENTAL EXEMPTION PURSUANT TO THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT, GRANTING VARIANCE 17-03,
AND APPROVING SITE AND ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW 16-09 FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF A 2,600 SQUARE FOOT SINGLE FAMILY HOME ON A 1.29
ACRE LOT,LOCATED AT PALM AVENUE (APN: 0276-331-49)
WHEREAS, Yacoub Farsakh, represented by Al Aguirre of A.K.A. and Associates Inc.,
has filed applications for Variance 17-03 and Site and Architectural Review 16-09, requesting
approval to construct a 2,600-square foot single family residence on 1.29-acre lot, located at
Palm Avenue, identified as Assessor's Parcel Number 0276-331-49. The site is zoned RI-20-V,
Low Density Single Family Residential and Low Density Residential on the General.Plan Land
Use Map;
WHEREAS, the Applicant has filed Variance 17-03 requesting a reduction of the rear
setback and garage side yard setback requirements;
WHEREAS, the Project qualifies for a categorically exemption, pursuant to Section
15303 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, which exempts the new
construction of one single-family residence in a residential zone.
WHEREAS,on November 2, 2017, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed
public hearing on the Project at the Grand Terrace Council Chambers located at 22795 Barton
Road, Grand Terrace, California 92313 and concluded the hearing on said date.
WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of
Grand Terrace:
1. The Planning Commission/Site and Architectural Review Board hereby finds that the
Project is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15303 from the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Notice of Exemption prepared in
connection with the Project has - been reviewed and considered and reflects the
independent judgment of the Planning Commission/Site and Architectural Review Board,
and is hereby.adopted.
2. The Planning.Commission/Site and Architectural Review Board finds as follows with
respect to Variance 17-03:
a. A special circumstance regarding the size, shape, topography, location or
surroundings of the subject property exists. The size, shape, topography and

RESOLUTION 2017-33 1 PAGE OF 5 JUNE 15,2017
ith all the approved plans and conditions
of approval, including but not limited to site plans, grading plans, wall plans, and
building elevations, except as modified by these conditions of approval. •
RESOLUTION 2017-33 1 PAGE OF 3 JUNE 15,2017
surroundings of the lot are very irregular, most of the lot is a rough terrain that
slopes down towards the south and east. The shape and topography limit the
placement of the building site layout. The proposed area to be developed is
located at the west side of the property on top of a relatively flat pad that was
previously graded. The proposed residence will be constructed at a lower grade
than the residences located to the north and west, and the east property is more
than two hundred feet away; therefore,-there will not be any privacy issues. The
size and shape of the lot dictate the only area where the residence can be
constructed and therefore the reduction of the rear yard setback and the garage
side yard setback requirements.
b. Because of the specialcircumstance, the strict application of the zoning ordinance
deprives the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the
vicinity and under identical zoning classification.
The lot shape is irregular, and the topography is a rough terrain that slopes
towards Blue Mountain, these special circumstances restrict the design options.
The approval of the Variance will allow the Applicant to fully enjoy and
maximize the use of the property.
c. The granting of the Variance 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 property characteristic's such as shape, size
and topography limit the design area for this development. The only buildable
space is located on the west side of the property on a. previously graded pad;
therefore, this Variance will not constitute the granting of special privileges, nor
will it create negative impacts to the proposed and adjacent residences.
d. The granting of the Variance will not authorize a use or activity which is not
otherwise expressly authorized by the district,governing the parcel of property.
The proposed project is consistent with the Zoning Map, which is intended for
single family residences, and the granting of the Variance will not authorize a use
that is not permitted by the R-1-20-V—Low Density Single Family Residential.
e. - The granting of the Variance will not result in a situation inconsistent with the
latest adopted of General Plan. The project is consistent with the Low Density
Residential designation on the General Plan Land Use Map, which limits land
uses to single family detached residential units.
f. Conditions necessary to secure the above findings are made a part of the approval
of the variance.
3. The Planning Commission/Site and Architectural Review Board finds as follows with
respect to Site'and Architectural Review 16-09:
a. The proposed residential project is consistent with the intent of the Grand Terrace
Municipal Code and the General Plan. The project is zoned R-20-V-Low Density
Single Family Residential, this zoning designation is intended for very low single
family detached residential. units. Per Zoning Code, the Project meets
RESOLUTION 2017-36 1 PAGE OF 2 NOVEMBER 2, 2017
•
development standards relating to residential buildings, architecture, color, and
scale. The Project also meets structural, building height and building coverage.
The Applicant has filed for a Variance to deviate from the rear yard setbacks and
side garage setback requirements.
The project site is designated Low Density Residential (LDR) on the General Plan
Land,Use Map. The proposed development is consistent with the.Low Density
Residential designation because it limits land uses to single family detached
residential units. The proposed residence is located within the high landslide
susceptibility area and the very high fire hazard zone on the Public Health and
Safety Element. The Applicant has prepared a Geotechnical Investigation Report,
and should it be required by Building and Safety, the applicant will prepare a
slope instability analysis. The structure will be built in compliance with the.
requirements for fire resistive construction in the Building Code as well as the
San Bernardino County Fire Department regulations for high fire zone areas. The
proposed residence is also consistent with the Housing Element which encourages
infill housing and private development of underutilized land for residential
. construction, by maintaining the physical character of existing low residential
neighborhood.
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 architecture of the building will
enhance the surrounding area, and will be visually harmonious. The proposed
residence will be constructed a lower grade than the adjacent,residences to the
west and to the north,there are no properties located to the south, and the property
located to the east is more than two hundred feet away; therefore, the proposed
development will not interfere with the neighbors'privacy or block scenic views.
c. The architectural design of structures, their materials and colors are visually
harmonious with surrounding development, natural landforms, are functional for
the proposed project and are consistent with the Grand Terrace Municipal Code.
The Project has included architecture elements typical to ranch house style, such
as multi pane windows, French doors, decorative molding, decorative "stone
accents and terra cotta tiles. The project will include a color "scheme of
earthy/neutral colors, "Pacific Sand",color for the stucco, "Mesa Tan" for trim
accents, "Weathered Terra Cotta" Capistrano style tile and two foot of stone
veneer'accents on the front side of the house. The design and style of the
structure, and the drought tolerant landscape will enhance the property and be
visually harmonious with surrounding development.
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 site will be
RESOLUTION 2017-36 1 PAGE OF 3 NOVEMBER 2,2017'
•
landscaped in accordance with City and State regulations. A Variance has been
applied to deviate from the rear and garage side setback requirements; however,
these areas will be appropriately landscaped. The proposal includes a water
efficient landscape including a water fountain at the entrance _of the home
surrounded by mulch and shrubs delineating the walk areas,leading to the door
entrance. A row or shrubs also delineates the driveway entrance and the
perimeter of the house. The landscape will also include crape myrtle trees along
both'sides of the driveway. Staff has also included a Condition of Approval
requesting the applicant to increase the number of planting material to the north
landscape adjacent to the private road, and. a' Condition of Approval for the
fountain to include a recyclable water system.
• 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 of
the city, it's setting, and natural landforms are preserved. The terrain is dry and
rock and the proposed area to be developed is located at the west side of the
property on top of a relatively flat pad that was previously graded; therefore,there
will not be clearing of property. The Project is proposing the-removal of a tree
located near the entrance of the road easement access.
f. Conditions of approval for this project necessary to secure the purposes of the
Grand Terrace Municipal.Code and General Plan are made a part of this approval
as set forth in the accompanying Resolution of Approval.
